Three days later, the dust settled on Lu Zhen's case, and Qu Zichong and the others had already begun the finishing work and were ready to prosecute Lu Zhen's boss. In the past three days, Ran Sinian has not seen Qu Zichong and Fan Xiao again, the troublesome aunt has not come to the door, and the mysterious voice changer has never called again.

But Ran Sinian had a hunch that these three days were just the calm before the storm, and a bloody storm was brewing in this calm.

This night, the mobile phone ringtone rang when Ran Sinian was having that dream within a dream, which directly led to the dream of the dream after the Ma Dai Xiao Express man opened the urn, accompanied by a burst of light music, the evil ghost came out, and in the happy song, opened its big mouth, revealing fangs and corrosive steaming saliva. In the dream, Ran Sinian couldn't cry or laugh, and the urn seemed to have become a music box, but the music box was not a ballet girl who circled with the music and dance, but a monster with teeth and grinning along with the music.

Sheng Yunhai successfully woke up within three seconds, and immediately regained consciousness after waking up, grabbing the mobile phone on the bedside table with one hand without mistaking. Sure enough, there was still no caller number to show, and he finally called. Ran Sinian deliberately looked at the time, 2:45 in the morning.

"Hello? Is that you? Ran Sinian calmly answered the phone, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

There was a heavy wheezing sound from the other side of the phone, and the sound was still through the voice changer, which was particularly eerie. After a while, the other party spoke: "I, I had a dream of killing people again!" This time, I killed Evergreen, and I cut Evergreen's throat with a dagger! Just now, just now! ”

"Don't worry, speak slowly," Ran Sinian wanted to infect the other party with calm emotions, he asked slowly, "What happened to you who killed him in your dream?" I mean, where did you kill him? Did you say anything or do anything before you killed him? ”

"In my dream, I was in Changqing's house, I went upstairs lightly, walked while performing, entered his bedroom, and Changqing and his wife lay on the bed and slept!"

"Performance?" Ran Sinian immediately caught the strange word, "What are you performing?" ”

"In my dream I'm a clown, and I'm doing a clown antics show, just like the previous five times!"

Ran Sinian immediately remembered the trailer of the movie "Midnight Carnival" he had watched, and the murderer in that movie was a clown! To be precise, a murderer dressed as a clown. There must be a close connection between this!

"You'd better ask your police friends to check right now to see if Evergreen is really dead." The other party's voice was a little trembling and low, obviously with a sense of guilt, he really believed that his dream had killed Changqing, or that he was acting.

Ran Sinian just wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him time to speak, and continued: "Actually, there is no need to confirm, I'm sure Chang Qing is dead, just like the previous five times, you just need to inform your police friends." It's started again, it's started again, a new cycle of murder has started again, I can't control myself, I can't control my dreams! Oh my God, what am I going to do, help me, help me! ”

"Tell me where you are now, I'll go over right away, I'll help you, trust me!" Ran Sinian said very sincerely.

But the other party couldn't hear what Ran Sinian was saying, he kept muttering words like "help me", obviously his emotions were out of control. Finally, the phone was hung up.

Ran Sinian reacted for a moment, and without waiting for the phone to automatically lock the screen, he rushed the phone to Qu Zi again. His instinct told him that this was not a prank, Chang Qing was really dead, and if something so big happened, there was nothing sorry to disturb Qu Zichong in the middle of the night.

Half an hour later, Qu Zichong's subordinate Deng Lei drove to pick up Ran Sinian and go to the scene of the crime, which was Changqing's villa. In the car, Ran Sinian listened to Deng Lei briefly introduce the process of discovering that Chang Qing was dead.

It turned out that Qu Zichong immediately called Chang Qing after receiving a call from Ran Sinian, but he dialed the landline number of Chang Qing's house, and the person who answered the phone was the maid who lived in the maid's room on the first floor. Qu Zichong instructed the maid to go upstairs to see Changqing, and not to hang up the phone yet. The maid was confused, skeptical of Qu Zichong's identity as a policeman, but she didn't dare to slack off, she held the phone's mobile phone, walked to the staircase and turned on the wall lamp, followed by a scream. After Qu Zichong's repeated questioning, the maid stammered and said that there were bloody footprints on the ground.

In this way, the maid went upstairs and entered the bedroom of Changqing and Aiqin, and there was another scream, which woke up the sleeping Aiqin, but could not wake up Changqing, whose throat had been cut.

Ai Qin woke up and immediately found that she had just slept in a pool of blood, her husband had already died beside her, the flesh and blood in his throat were blurred, and his face was hideous, and she screamed and fainted.

The road in the early morning was very easy to walk, Deng Lei's car was installed with a siren, and the road was unimpeded, and it took less than half an hour to rush to the high-end villa area where Changqing's house was located, and entered Changqing's house, which was the scene of the crime.

At first glance, Ran Sinian saw the bloody footprints in the living room.

"That's a weird footprint, isn't it?" Qu Zichong came down from upstairs and greeted him, "Not only is the sole of the shoe no texture, but the distribution of footprints is also very messy, could this murderer be drunk and staggered?" Or maybe you have a problem with your legs and feet and can't walk in a straight line? ”

"No, the murderer was not drunk, and his legs and feet were normal, and the reason why he left untextured shoe prints was because he was wearing special shoes, which were not available outside, and the reason why he left such messy footprints was because he was walking and performing." Ran Sinian said solemnly.

"Performance?" Qu Zichong was just as surprised as Ran Sinian not long ago.

Ran Sinian was in a hurry when he first called, and did not repeat the content of the call in detail, but at this time, he told Qu Zichong in detail about the entire call, and told Qu Zichong that the perpetrator was likely to be a perverted killer wearing a clown costume and coming and going to the scene of the crime while performing.

Qu Zichong nodded vigorously after hearing this, and said to himself: "This person who calls and claims to be able to dream and kill people is the biggest suspect at present!" ”

Ran Sinian agreed with Qu Zichong's statement, because Chang Qing's death and the situation at the scene were all consistent with the person's description, and these details would not be known to outsiders except for the murderer. Ran Sinian looked at the few technicians who were bending down to take footprints between the building and the entrance, and looked around the first floor of the entire villa, wanting to scan the entire crime scene first.

"Let's go up and have a look." Qu Zichong took Ran Sinian to bypass those bloody footprints and technicians and went upstairs.

"You can only watch now, you can't move, and wait until tomorrow, when our forensics work is completely over, you can implement your plan." Qu Zichong said to Ran Sinian while going upstairs.

Ran Sinian nodded in understanding, his brows kept frowning, his mood was heavy, and he inevitably blamed himself, if he could have reminded Chang Qing more seriously three days ago, would the murderer not succeed?

In the master bedroom on the second floor, on the spacious bed, lay the body of Evergreen. What impressed Ran Sinian the most about the corpse was the expression of the deceased and the blood on his throat. Chang Qing's throat was cut out with a deep and long tear, which shows that the murderer did not hesitate to use the knife, and his technique was clean and neat, and it was definitely not the first time to kill someone. That's right, Ran Sinian can be sure that Chang Qing is the seventh victim who died at the hands of this murderer. What's even more terrifying is Changqing's expression, hideous and terrifying, as if he saw an extremely terrifying scene before he died, as if he had seen a ghost. Could it be that Chang Qing saw the murderer a second before he died? Saw a murderer dressed as a clown?

The strange feeling suddenly surrounded Ran Sinian, he scanned the bedroom, and found nothing, but he was sure that his subconscious mind had definitely found some clues, and now he only needed to let him take a nap for a while, and he could figure out what that strange feeling was coming from.

It was already four o'clock in the morning when he left Changqing's villa, and Ran Sinian fell asleep in the back seat of Qu Zichong's car. First, it was because he was really sleepy tonight, after all, he didn't sleep for a few hours before he was woken up by that phone call, and secondly, because Ran Sinian wanted to take a nap and seek answers to certain questions in his dreams.

In a daze, Ran Sinian felt the bump of the car, he slowly opened his eyes, tilted his head to look at the scene outside the car window. At four o'clock in the morning in spring, the sky was already slightly bright, and Ran Sinian saw the deserted streets retreating in the dim light, and occasionally the figure of the cleaner who got up in the early morning to work flashed by.

"What? What about the scenery? Qu Zichong, who was driving, asked with a smile, "Do you want me to open the sunroof of the car for you, so that you can stick your head out and take a good look at the sky?" ”

Ran Sinian waved his hand and said, "You don't need to stretch it out, just look up directly." ”

Maybe it was because his neck was a little sore, or maybe he really wanted to look at the sky, Ran Sinian looked up through the skylight. As a result, it didn't matter, he actually saw a pair of eyes in the dim sky! A pair of round, black eyes that absolutely do not belong to humans! No, not a pair, what emerged from the clouds were several pairs of such eyes, and they collectively stared at Ran Sinian, as if blaming Ran Sinian for daring to ignore them!

Ran Sinian shrank back from these eyes, lowered his head, and a question immediately flashed in his heart, and he couldn't help asking, "Team Qu, I remember, your car doesn't seem to have a sunroof, right?" ”

Qu Zichong didn't answer, still concentrating on driving. Ran Sinian had already understood in the blink of an eye that he had a dream just now, because Qu Zichong's car had no sunroof at all.
