Chapter 3: Private Detectives
Ran Sinian opened his eyes calmly and woke up from his dream.
The experience of more than a year ago is still real and clear in his dreams, and he even remembers every detail of his contact with Li Wenci. Now all he has to do is repeat the experience and let his subconscious mind help extract the important details. Because not long ago, Ran Sinian had already made up his mind to openly start investigating the suicide case of Li Wenci by jumping off the building, as well as the murder case of Li Wenci's biological parents, which directly caused Li Wenci to fall to his death, and the original source of the explosion case that affected him.
"Si Nian, go downstairs, there's business coming to your door!" Rao's voice came from outside the bedroom door.
Ran Sinian muttered while getting up, didn't Rao Peier say that it was rare to receive an advertisement, would she go out early and return late in the past two days? Why are you still at home?
After washing up and going downstairs, Ran Sinian saw two women in the living room at a glance, one was Rao Pei'er, he could almost recognize Rao Pei'er in a second now, and the other woman was a strange woman, who should be Rao Pei'er's so-called customer.
The woman introduced herself: "Hello Mr. Ran, my name is Wu Tingting, and I want to ask you for help with something." Truth be told, my wedding date is just a week away, but I seem to be suffering from premarital anxiety, and I am always worried that I will marry the wrong person, so I would like to ask you to help me interpret my dreams and see if my subconscious has noticed that my fiancé is wrong. ”
Ran Sinian nodded understandingly, negotiated the price with the young Wu Tingting, and then listened to Wu Tingting tell her most impressive dream in recent times.
Wu Tingting's fiancé is named Fu Qiang, in the dream, Fu Qiang is a world-renowned magician, and Wu Tingting is his beautiful assistant. There are only two people in their magic team, and no one at home and abroad can crack Fu Qiang's strange and jaw-dropping magic trick.
Wu Tingting was also very curious about Fu Qiang's magic, but Fu Qiang refused to tell Wu Tingting the secret of magic. Fu Qiang has always been very mysterious, and his magic props and everything are locked up to prevent anyone, including Wu Tingting, from having the opportunity to observe and study.
Fu Qiang is very stubborn, he has always only performed one kind of magic, that is, to change a thing from something to nothing, from nothing to something, and these objects are also small objects. But the magic lies in the fact that the audience can conjure up whatever they want on the spot, and they can conjure up as much as they want, and these audiences are certainly not dark piles or nurseries.
What's even more bizarre is that the world's first-class magicians have a strange rule, that is, the magic show must be performed either once every three days, or every three weeks, or once in three years, and the number three must be strictly observed. Once, Fu Qiang performed a magic trick on a foreign president who came to China, and the foreign president was amazed and strongly asked Fu Qiang to perform again. Fu Qiang, who has always been arrogant, promised to play another show in order not to spoil the president's interest, but it must be three hours after the end of this one.
In the course of these three hours, Fu Qiang locked himself in a special room to meditate on magic ideas and make magic props. Wu Tingting has always been curious about Fu Qiang's magic, so she secretly drilled a hole to peek at Fu Qiang in the room, but saw that Fu Qiang was not in the room at all, and there was a mechanism in the special room, which was a secret passage that could lead to the underground.
Three hours later, Fu Qiang came out of the room very tired, and performed another breathtaking magic trick for the president, conjuring up three things for the president at his random request. But Wu Tingting felt that Fu Qiang was not doing magic, he was trading with the devil, and all this was not magic, but the devil's witchcraft.
Wu Tingting stroked her chest and said nervously: "You say, isn't this dream weird?" The more I think about it, the weirder it becomes, this dream definitely means that Fu Qiang has something to hide from me, but what is it? ”
Ran Sinian pondered for more than ten seconds, and immediately gave the answer, he said: "There are three main themes that you want to express in this dream: first, your fiancé Fu Qiang can conjure things out of thin air, not through magic to conjure things that already exist, but through the side door to conjure things that do not exist; Second, your fiancé Fu Qiang is lying to you and everyone, he is not in that special room at all to study magic, but secretly ran to somewhere, and he must go to this place before the magic show, otherwise he will not be able to perform, so he will set a rule for himself, that is, there must be a period of time between the two magic shows, so that he has time to go to this place to prepare for the magic show; Thirdly, the number 'three', this number must have a special meaning. ”
"What exactly do these three themes mean?" Wu Tingting asked urgently.
Ran Sinian thought for a while, and asked instead of answering: "Has your fiancé had a time gap in the recent period, that is, a time period when you don't know where he did anything at all?" Does he have more small items in his home, or will he often give you small things? ”
Wu Tingting tilted her head and thought about it, then her eyes flashed, and she replied resignedly: "That's right, once I called him on his mobile phone, but it was turned off during working hours during the day, I called his unit, and the unit said that he took sick leave that day; Also, he did give me two gifts recently, both of which were small items, one was a gold necklace and the other was a mobile phone. ”
Ran Sinian shook his head helplessly, and said bitterly: "I advise you to keep these two gifts properly first, if not, they are stolen goods." In other words, your fiancé, Fu Qiang, may be a burglar and a repeat burglary in the last week. ”
"What?" Wu Tingting slapped the coffee table and stood up, angry at the crown, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Ran Sinian ignored Wu Tingting's anger and continued to explain: "I also said it, it's just doubts, and what makes me doubt him is your dream, in other words, your subconscious mind is also doubting. You don't need magic tricks, you can conjure small objects out of thin air, and you have to go somewhere to prepare before magic, you said it yourself, it's like a side-by-side way. In fact, this is your subconscious suggesting to you that the conjured object does not exist in the first place, but that he got it in advance. As for the number three, I think you must have heard of the three burglaries on the Internet or by some means, but this news did not attract the attention of your conscious, and directly hid this information in your subconscious, and subconsciously transferred this number to your dream as a time interval for Fu Qiang's magic performance. Linked to Fu Qiang's whereabouts during the day's working hours and the two gifts he gave you, I think he is likely to be the thief who burglarized three times in broad daylight while the residents were not at home. Yesterday the detective I knew called me and told me some details of the theft, including a gold necklace and an iPhone among the missing items of the householder. Of course, this may also be a coincidence, I am not 100% sure, but at least 80% sure. ”
Wu Tingting was completely stupid, she sat back on the sofa in despair, wiped her tears and asked, "What should I do?" The man I'm going to marry is a thief? Do I have to call the police? Oh my God, what should I do? ”
"Don't worry," Rao Peier took Wu Tingting's hand and comforted, "There is still a twenty percent chance that Fu Qiang is innocent, if you call the police like this, and finally find out that he is innocent, he will definitely blame you for not trusting him, and then your marriage is likely to fall through, and you have wronged a good man, which is more than worth the loss." Otherwise, you call that Fu Qiang here and let Si Nian test him again to see if he is a thief. ”
Ran Sinian glanced at Rao Pei'er and blamed her for her self-determination.
Rao Peier found that Ran Sinian was a little unhappy, so she stuck it up directly, hugged Ran Sinian's arm and coquettishly.
"Please, isn't the game of pretending to be a couple over? Please be respectful. Ran Sinian said seriously.
Rao Pei'er felt faceless, so she let go of her hand and muttered in a low voice: "People can't change it for a while." Oh, Si Nian, you can help Tingting, this is related to a woman's happiness in the second half of her life. ”
In the end, Ran Sinian surrendered, promising to meet the legendary Fu Qiang in the afternoon.
After noon, Wu Tingting came to visit with a young man.
Fu Qiang is a man of medium stature, with an ordinary appearance, a cynical temperament, and ridiculed Ran Sinian as a god stick as soon as they met.
Wu Tingting walked up to Rao Pei'er, immediately took off her disguised smiling face, and begged in a low voice: "Pei'er, can you stay alone with me for a while?" Let Master Ran identify whether Fu Qiang is a thief or not, I really don't know how to face him now. ”
Rao Peier thoughtfully took Wu Tingting back to her room, and the two young girls nested in the room to talk about the topics between women.
When only Ran Sinian and Fu Qiang were left in the living room, the cynicism on Fu Qiang's face suddenly disappeared, he looked around vigilantly, and said, "Your villa should have a basement, let's go down and talk, there are some things, I have to confess to you, I need your help now." ”
Ran Sinian was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that everything was not as simple as he imagined, and the intentions of Wu Tingting and Fu Qiang were definitely not what they seemed.
Ran Sinian was quite vigilant, and while leading Fu Qiang to the steps leading to the basement, he took out a kitchen knife on the kitchen knife rack that was not big or small and easy to hide as a weapon for self-defense. He wanted to go upstairs right now to confirm Rao Pei'er's safety, but his intuition told him that Fu Qiang and Wu Tingting were not hostile to them.
After closing the door of the basement, Fu Qiang's whole body relaxed, as if he had taken off the heavy armor that had always restrained his body, he looked into Ran Sinian's eyes, and said solemnly: "Actually, I am a private detective, a private detective hired by Li Wenci. ”
Ran Sinian was really surprised, but he remained silent, quietly waiting for Fu Qiang's explanation.
Fu Qiang smiled embarrassedly, "That's right, I am indeed a burglar who has committed burglary three times, and Tingting is indeed my fiancée and my assistant." The two of us deliberately staged such a scene, deliberately concocted such a magician's dream to come to you, in order to make it more natural for me to meet you. I had wanted to come to you for a long time, but for some reason, and for my safety, I didn't venture until now. ”
