Rain in the early hours of May 25, 2005

Just now, I had another nightmare. This time, I was still wearing my father's clown costume, and I walked in the alley on a rainy night, acting like my father. It was pitch black, but I wasn't scared because I had to hide myself in the darkness so that I wouldn't be seen.

I vaguely heard a couple of men and women in front of me, gasping and whispering, as if they were doing that. I could hear their voices, they were the bad guys who used to make fun of Dad and bully, when they kept slapping Dad on the head with badminton rackets, and made Dad laugh and let Dad perform. I'll never forget that scene, my dad was worried that if he didn't cooperate, they would complain to the circus director, and they would lose their jobs, so they had to smile wryly and beg for mercy. Dad is to support me, so that I don't drop out of school to endure humiliation, although I hate Dad's cowardice is useless, but I also know how hard Dad has worked for me.

I hate those sons and women, and I want them to die! I want to avenge my father, and I also want to slap them on the head with a badminton racket. Thinking so, I slowly approached the small warehouse in the dark, and there was a steel pipe standing at the door of the warehouse, and I took the steel pipe into the warehouse, and saw them naked. They're shameless, damn it! The man actually wanted to come over and beat me, so I directly lifted the steel pipe and plunged it into the man's throat! The woman was so frightened that she was about to run away without her pants on, and I knew that she would say I had killed someone if she ran out, so I pulled out the steel pipe and stabbed the woman in the stomach. I stabbed again and again, seven times in total. This dream is really too real, too scary. I'm really fed up and don't want to dream like this again.

It was overcast on the evening of 26 May 2005

On the way home today, I heard from my neighbor Aunt Yu that there were dead people in the warehouse near my house, and the dead were a couple of men and women, all of whom were undressed. I wasn't too surprised, because this was the fourth time. The fourth time, the person I killed in my dream was really dead. My dreams really kill, it's true! Cannot be explained by science! I can't tell anyone, not even my father, because if they knew, they would have thought I was a murderer! I just can't tell with a long mouth, but I really didn't kill anyone! Oh my God, what the hell am I going to do? Is it that if I die, I won't dream, and if I don't dream, I won't die? But those people deserve to die, don't they? They bully dad and are bad people. I killed them with a dream, and I avenged my father.

Ran Sinian closed the diary with a solemn face, and said after a while: "According to the diary, Bai Yifeng didn't kill anyone, he just had a dream of killing. You said it was a murder diary, and I thought he wrote down the process of his murder in the diary. ”

Qu Zichong explained as a matter of course: "This is Bai Yifeng's murder diary." The reason why I want you to focus on this diary is because the couple who died ten years ago were killed at nearly twelve o'clock in the evening of May 25. And this diary happened to be written by Bai Yifeng in the early hours of the morning, just after he came back from killing. The method of death of the deceased recorded in the diary, including the steel pipe, the throat of the male deceased, and the female deceased being stabbed seven times in the abdomen, are all details that have not been leaked by the police. In that case, only a few neighbors knew a little about the case, including the aunt Yu, who only knew that the male and female deceased were naked, and there was a witness who saw a person dressed as a clown coming out of the warehouse. ”

"You're saying that only the killer knows the other details? Bai Yifeng is actually the murderer, and he also chooses to deceive himself in his diary, and records the process of killing people as a dream intentionally or unintentionally? Although Ran Sinian asked, he did not agree with this statement.

Qu Zichong snapped his fingers, "That's right, Bai Yifeng was only a fifteen-year-old kid back then, and killing people was too exciting for him, and he couldn't accept such a fact after he calmed down, so he deceived himself and regarded the act of killing people as his dream." ”

Ran Sinian pointed to the diary and asked, "Have you read the rest of the diary?" All the diaries describe the killing process as a dream by him? ”

Fan Xiaozui quickly replied: "That's right, there are a total of five records in the diary about the process and details of the killing, and the six deceased, Bai Yifeng said that he was dreaming." The person he killed in the dream actually died in the scene in the dream in reality. And every time he has this dream of killing, he is wearing his father's clown costume. ”

"For three whole months, Bai Yifeng has been deceiving himself?" Ran Sinian bowed slightly, as if talking to himself, "There is also the most critical clown costume, if it is really Bai Yifeng wearing his father's costume to kill people, the clown costume will definitely be stained with blood, will his father not notice it?" Since his father is a clown, will the police not investigate him? Don't check his clown outfit? If it is checked, how can it be possible to check without bleeding? Even if Bai Yifeng's father had the intention to cover up for Bai Yifeng and wash away the bloodstains, the bloodstains would still be found through the luminol reagent. To say that Bai Yifeng's father secretly burned the blood-stained costume, this is also unlikely, a total of five crimes, six dead, how many costumes will be burned, won't the circus people find that the costumes are decreasing one after another? ”

Qu Zichong frowned slightly, what Ran Sinian said was not unreasonable, but the murder diary was in front of him, to say that dreams would kill people, it was absolutely nonsense, in addition, what other possibility could explain that Bai Yifeng knew all the details of the killing process? Could it be that his father was the murderer? Take him to kill someone, he watches the whole process as a bystander, and then thinks he is dreaming, thinking that his father is himself?

Ran Sinian asked again: "It stands to reason that if such a diary is really an account of murder, it is equivalent to criminal evidence, why did Bai Yifeng keep it for ten years?" Could it be that he still insists that he didn't kill anyone, but just dreamed of killing people? ”

"That's right, Bai Yifeng is in the interrogation room now, he insists that he absolutely didn't kill anyone, he just dreamed of killing people, and his father didn't protect him back then. The police had already investigated his father, after all, his father was the only clown in the circus, but the police quickly ruled out his father's suspicion because he had a solid alibi. As for keeping those diaries, it was because he always wanted to solve the riddle of his dream killing, and if he burned the diary, no one would believe that he could dream and kill. Bai Yifeng just told me that he planned to take the diary to you, a master who specializes in dreams, to seek answers after the murderer of the clown case was caught. Deng Lei explained for Ran Sinian.

Ran Sinian was silent, he intuitively felt that things were far from so simple, Bai Yifeng was probably not the clown serial murderer back then, nor was he the murderer of the evergreen case, but Bai Yifeng was definitely the key person in the case then and now, and Bai Yifeng was the mysterious voice changer who called him at midnight.

"That, Mr. Ran," Fan Xiao hesitated for a few seconds, but still asked timidly without vomiting, "You are an expert in this area, I would like to ask, could it be that Bai Yifeng himself has something special, such as special functions, his dreams can really kill?" Dreams, can they also kill? ”

Before Fan Xiao's words fell, Qu Zichong had already rolled his eyes, held his forehead and sat on the chair all of a sudden, Deng Lei and Liang Yuan on the side looked at Fan Xiao stunned for two seconds, and then laughed.

In the interrogation room, Bai Yifeng and Ran Sinian sat face to face, staring at each other for ten minutes. In the end, Bai Yifeng couldn't hold his breath, and opened his mouth first, he asked in a low voice: "Do you believe me?" Believe I didn't kill anyone? ”

Without thinking, Ran Sinian replied, "Believe." ”

Bai Yifeng exhaled, his shoulders relaxed, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for believing in me." To tell you the truth, I'm the one who called you in the middle of the night with a voice changer, and I've been following you for a long time. Because you're a master of dreams, and I, I have a dream puzzle. ”

Ran Sinian smiled dumbly, when did he become a master of dreams? But now is not the time to entangle the title, he asked solemnly: "Changqing installed a pinhole camera in your home, and found your diary?" ”

"Yes, Changqing, a despicable villain, took advantage of my trust in him to secretly install that kind of thing in my house!" Speaking of Changqing, Bai Yifeng was annoyed, even though the other party was already a dead man, "My father died half a year ago, and after the funeral, I was exhausted due to grief, and it was Changqing who sent me home, it turned out that at that time, he secretly assigned a spare key to my house!" After that, he found my safe hidden in the bedroom wall through surveillance, and found that my safe was not a gold passbook, but a diary. Changqing, this bastard, actually sneaked into my house and stole the diary! ”

Everything was just as Ran Sinian expected, he followed his own train of thought and continued to talk for Bai Yifeng, "Chang Qing has also heard of the clown case ten years ago, and after reading your diary, he has concluded that you are the real murderer of the clown case ten years ago, and he wants to put the case of ten years ago on the screen, and even invited the real murderer of the year to play the leading role, this gimmick can be recorded in the history of world cinema." ”

"But I'm not really a murderer! My dreams, my dreams are the real murderer! Don't you believe me? Bai Yifeng hurriedly argued.

Ran Sinian changed the topic and asked: "When Chang Qing invited you to play the leading role in the movie, how could you agree?" He's going to blackmail you? ”

"No, I didn't know at the time that he peeked at my diary, I was also very surprised after reading the script, I suspected that Chang Qing or screenwriter Tan Jiansheng was the real murderer back then, in order to investigate these two people, but also to solve the mystery of my dream, and even more so as not to arouse Chang Qing's suspicion, so I didn't refuse and agreed to play the leading role. I'm really trying to figure out if the murderer who killed six people ten years ago was one of them, or if it was my dream! ”
