Zou Yan no longer persuaded Ren Qiuling, he walked to the edge of the magic circle and stood opposite Yunzhongyue. Both sat cross-legged, hands on their knees, palms facing the sky, and their eyes not squinting.

Ren Qiuling walked to the center of the circle, where there was a hollow circle.

Zou Yan said, "You can sit down too, and then close your eyes - we're going to start!" ”

Ren Qiuling sat cross-legged like those two cultivators, closed her eyes, but her mind couldn't be still. At this time, Lee Myung-bak and all the members of the special service team felt a certain solemn atmosphere, and no one spoke, not even coughing.

The river breeze was blowing, and Ren Qiuling's long hair fluttered uncertainly.

Suddenly, Zou Yan roared: "Begin!" Yun Zhongyue replied: "Okay! Then the sound of the wind disappeared suddenly, and Ren Qiuling only felt a lightness on her body, and a comfortable and warm feeling instantly surrounded her whole body. When she opened her eyes, she was in a garden—she had entered the dream space.

The flowers around Ren Qiuling can't be named, each petal is round and shiny, and the flowers are as big as a human face, but the leaves are as small as pods.

Among the flowers, a rabbit-like creature looked at her curiously, the rabbit's head accounted for half of the whole, and the body only accounted for half of the whole, which was very strange.

Ren Qiuling thought secretly: "This dream world is really different from reality, if it is in the real world, it would be difficult for such a deformed rabbit to even walk, let alone survive." As if to prove her point, the rabbit ran away with a "poof", like a normal rabbit, very fast.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the sky: "Stupid, stupid!" ”

Ren Qiuling looked up at the sky and saw a crow flying by with its little wings. The crow's head was very large, but its body was very small, and its wings were about the size of its head, and it was impossible for it to fly according to aerodynamics. But this strange crow not only flies, but also says, "Stupid, stupid!" ”

Ren Qiuling was thinking it was strange, only to see two children wearing school uniforms and flying over on broomsticks. The girl whispered, "Report to the captain, I found a spy." The boy said, "All right, let's arrest her." The two flew towards Ren Qiuling on broomsticks.

Finally found the two missing people - although now they can fly, Ren Qiuling was very excited, waved her hand and suppressed her voice and shouted: "Shhhh Do not be afraid, for I have come to save you. ”

The little girl reached out and grabbed Ren Qiuling's hand, and seemed to lift her up effortlessly. "I've got her!" The little girl cheered.

The little boy didn't seem to be very happy: "Well, listen to her, it seems like a spy, shall we take him to the king?" ”

The little girl said, "Yes! Still flying into the air on a broomstick, he threw himself directly into a dark cloud.

Everything that happened in front of her was beyond imagination, Ren Qiuling couldn't help but look down, only to see that there were castles, rivers, and villages on the ground...... In short, this dream is very much like a fairy tale world, and it is very wide.

The two children in front of me, I don't know why they have such magical skills, they can fly with a broomstick, and they can grab adults with their hands. But they may be missing children, Ren Qiuling said: "You are students of Springfield Elementary School, right?" Tell me, where are the other children being held? I'm here to save you. ”

The little girl said, "Ha, this adult thinks we're locked up!" The little boy was in a bad mood and said, "I don't think she's funny at all, let's throw her!" The little girl said, "Yes! He threw Ren Qiuling out casually, as easily as throwing an eraser.

Ren Qiuling screamed and whirled, like a leaf in the autumn wind, falling to the ground with a fluttering ticket. She fell into a street, but it was empty.

"Hey! Don't leave! Ren Qiuling raised her head and shouted to the sky, "Help me, how can I find the king?" ”

"Humph!" The little boy's voice came from the roof behind him, still floating in the air on a broomstick, with a cool expression on his face, "Stupid! To see the king, you have to be able to fly. With these words, the little boy flew away on a broomstick.

Indeed, this dream space is larger than imagined, if the king in the children's mouth stays at one end of the space, it is unlikely that Ren Qiuling will walk over to see him, and it will be much simpler if he can fly. But how do you learn to fly?

Ren Qiuling told herself not to panic, since this space is a dream, then you can speculate on this person's mind through the details, and then understand the unique rules in this space. With these in hand, it may not be far from being able to fly.

Ren Qiuling looked at the houses on both sides of the street, all of which were steeple-roofed and all thatched. The windows are half the size of a wall, and the door opens more than a meter above the ground, and the outline of the door is so soft that not a single right angle is visible. On the ground in front of the house grew some grass, each with three leaves, and grass grew on both the dirt and the stone slabs.

"I see." Ren Qiuling smiled. She leaned over the ground, pressed one finger against the ground, and slowly lifted her right leg, then her left leg - if in the real world, her fingers would not be able to support her full body weight. But in this dream, she can actually complete the legendary "one-finger Zen".

It wasn't over yet, as she lifted herself off the ground with one finger, she slowly let go of that finger. She didn't fall to the ground, but was suspended in the air.

She had already guessed the world rules of this dream space, and she could fly whenever she needed to.

In fact, everything is very simple: a rabbit with a head as big as a body, a crow with an equally large head, a window that takes up half of a wall - these things are often found in children's paintings.

Children don't see things like adults, they spend more time looking at their heads, so in their minds, they feel that everything is big and small - this is how they see the world as it is.

Therefore, this dream space comes from a child's dream. As long as you know this, then it is too easy to want to fly in this dream world. According to the statistics of psychology, most children have dreams of flying in the sky. In fact, this dream of flying originated from the memories of children in their mother's womb, and mixed with part of the memories of swimming - what they thought was flying, if they studied it carefully, they would find that it was actually swimming.

The secret of a child's ability to fly has been solved, and some of the rules of this dream space have become clearer: the air around us is actually air that can be swam and breathe, and it is always warm, about the same as one's own body temperature - these are memories from the embryonic period.

Then, a new hypothesis emerged: if this dream space was a child's dream, then the person who carried out the kidnapping should have been a child, perhaps one of the three hundred and forty-one missing children. I don't know why, Wu Jiaxin was also kidnapped like other children.

Ren Qiuling's body bent, her toes were on the ground, and the person flew to the roof like an arrow. She put her hand on the arch of her brow and looked into the distance, and saw that there were three places that might have been the king's retreat. The three places are: the castle, the village, and the forest.

If it were according to normal people's thinking, the king should certainly live in the castle. However, this dream is created by a child, so you have to think about it according to the child's mind. In many fairy tales, the castle is a place of suffering, representing power, intrigue and war that children don't like. Villages are also unlikely, and often in the minds of children, villages represent the secular world, are places of trade. The forest, on the other hand, represents mystery, that anything is possible.

Ren Qiuling flew towards the forest.

In the middle of the forest, Ren Qiuling saw a semicircular lake filled with milk. Most of the missing children were playing on the grass by the lake.

Beneath the half-dead trunk of a tree by the lake, an adult sat on the grass, surrounded by a number of children—he might be the king.

Ren Qiuling flew to the grass and walked towards the king. It didn't seem that he thought that there would be outsiders coming, and the king also looked up at Ren Qiuling.

Ren Qiuling recognized that person at once, and exclaimed: "It's you!" ”

The king wondered, "How do you know me?" Who are you? ”

That king is none other than Wu Jiaxin, the only adult who disappeared in this disappearance.

"I'm Inspector Ren Qiuling." Ren Qiuling introduced herself and said, "Why do you kidnap so many children, what do you want to do?" Speaking of the latter, her tone became stern.

Wu Jiaxin sat comfortably on the grass, leaning against the dead tree, and said softly: "What kidnapping?" I didn't kidnap anyone, I just took them to this fun place. When the special day comes, I will take them to another more beautiful place. At the words "more beautiful places," he smiled unnaturally and shook his hands.

Micro-expressions suggest that he is hiding his sadness, and hand movements suggest that he has made up his mind that he is going to kill himself.

"These children are innocent...... Ren Qiuling said patiently, "You let them go!" ”

The smile on Wu Jiaxin's face was even more obvious, "Oh? They're innocent, and I deserve it, right? Ren Qiuling, you are not welcome in this world, you can go! ”

"Let's go, let's go!" The children around Wu Jiaxin didn't know that death had come, and Ren Qiuling was here to save them, they glared at Ren Qiuling with hatred one by one, and roared: "Get out of here, we don't want to see you!" ”

Ren Qiuling was angry, "You ......" Jiang Feng howled, and she returned to the teleportation array again.

"How?" Zou Yan and Yun Zhongyue asked together.

Lee Myung-bak asked, "Are the children still alive?" ”

Ren Qiuling originally wanted to nod, but then wanted to shake her head, but finally had to say: "I'm fine, the children are fine." I'm in a little trouble, alas! ”

She walked out of the teleportation array, came to Lee Myung-bak and said, "Alas! I didn't expect Wu Jiaxin to be really a criminal, that dream was created by him, but it was in line with a child's dream...... The children didn't understand me and yelled at me to leave! It's so sad! ”

Lee Myung-bak was confused, "What do you want to say?" Why can't I understand? ”

It turns out that girls have to find someone to talk to if they are in a bad mood, and it doesn't matter if the other party understands or not. After Ren Qiuling vomited her bitterness, she was in a better mood and immediately called Director Luo: "Hey! Director Luo? Wu Jiaxin is a criminal, he is a massacre criminal - I don't understand, anyway, he will kill these children first, and then commit suicide. At the moment, he didn't do it, he was just waiting for a special day! You help me check two things: first, Wu Jiaxin's stressor - without a stressor, he is a good person, something must have happened, let him be stimulated, he is ruthless, you help me find out what happened to him recently, as long as the stressor is found, I may be able to rescue the children. Second, he mentioned 'special days', you can help me find out what days have been particularly important to him recently. Please, please. ”

Putting down the phone, Ren Qiuling began to sigh again.

Lee Myung-bak doesn't understand psychology either, but he wants to comfort Ren Qiuling and says, "On special days, do festivals count?" ”

Ren Qiuling's eyes lit up, "Forget it!" ”

Lee Myung-bak said, "You're confused! Today is July 23rd, and nine days later it will be the August 1st Army Day! ”

Ren Qiuzhen jumped up and hurriedly called Director Luo: "Director Luo, help me find out who in Wu Jiaxin's family has joined the army?" Among the people who were close to him, which one had been a soldier? It turns out that the special day may refer to the August 1st Army Day! His stressor may be related to the army, hahaha, so it's that simple! ”

Director Luo's slow voice came from the phone, "Don't be crazy, don't be crazy!" You are now talking as fast as a submachine gun bullet, how can I remember, say it again. ”

Ren Qiuling walked anxiously on the beach with the phone in her hand, and reported the clues she had just found again. Hanging up the phone, she sat down on the beach - this was the most unbearable moment for her, knowing that the truth was in front of her, but she could do nothing but wait.

However, Director Luo is not a vegetarian, and after about fifteen minutes, he has already found out the results, "Qiu Ling, Wu Jiaxin's interpersonal relationship is very simple, because he has a problem with his brain, so he has no close friends, and he is not very close to other relatives. There were only three people in his family, he, his wife and his daughter, and none of the three had ever joined the army. ”

Ren Qiuling had already guessed that Wu Jiaxin had no record of military service, but she still asked with the hope of being in case: "What about his daughter?" Are you going to join the army? "If Wu Jiaxin's daughter wants to join the army, she can barely have anything to do with the August 1st Army Day.

Director Luo said: "It is completely impossible for her to join the army, but ......" Speaking of this, the old man deliberately sold the pass and stopped talking.

Ren Qiuling waved her fist at the sky, and her mouth cheered softly: "Yay! At this time, she didn't panic, put her phone to her ear, and just didn't ask, "But what?" ”

Looking at the expression on her face, even a layman like Zou Yan guessed that the case had taken a turn for the better, and couldn't help but be happy for Ren Qiuling.

Yun Zhongyue saw that Ren Qiuling was radiant, and only felt that she was so beautiful that people didn't dare to look at her directly, and couldn't help but praise in his mouth: "Goddess, my goddess!" ”

Director Luo was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "However, Wu Jiaxin's daughter is going to become a military wife, and the day she gets married is the August 1st Army Day!" ”

Ren Qiuling was dazed, this has nothing to do with the stressor!

Holocaust-type crimes, which are usually crimes of passion. People are stimulated by external things, can't accept it, and then take revenge on society under passion. Usually the stressors are all negative, such as being beaten up, losing money, being fired by the company, or falling out of love...... It's a good thing for her daughter to get married, how can it cause Wu Jiaxin to become a massacre-type murderer?

"Ren Qiuling, Ren Qiuling!" Director Luo called twice on the phone, as if he could feel Ren Qiuling's disappointment through the phone, and said apologetically: "Alas, I don't understand psychology, am I dragging you back?" ”

Ren Qiuling said: "No, no, please protect his daughter for the time being, I want to sort out the thinking of the case, and I may ask his daughter to help when I turn around." ”

Director Luo agreed.

Although some facts have been clarified, the case has become even more foggy. In such a situation, it is a better way to think about it by bringing together all the known circumstances and starting from the beginning of the case - this method is called "going back to square one." ”

Wu Jiaxin is a wealthy man, and his money comes from the two properties that his father left him - financially, he has no pressure.

Although he is rich, his family status is low, and his daughter and wife don't think much of him. The neighbors around him don't have a high opinion of him, at most he has a good heart, and his nerves are a little abnormal. But it is unlikely that he has a vendetta against anyone, at least so far, the investigation has not found any clues to support such speculation.

His hobby is to play cards and buy some prizes, which are all petty fights, not to mention major failures, and will not affect his survival.

But something must have happened for such a person to suddenly decide to kill more than 300 children and finally commit suicide - this is the stressor, and this stressor is the catalyst that turns normalcy into a murderer. It must be something very significant.

But what could this stressor be?
