Chapter 11: The Dream of the Crematorium
Fan Xiao saw that the two senior-level characters were so relaxed and confident, and his hanging heart was also relaxed, he was excitedly gearing up, eager for time to fast forward, hurry up to tomorrow morning, and enjoy the annual dream interpretation drama staged in the villa of the evergreen family tomorrow morning.
"But what if tomorrow Ai Qin says she didn't dream last night?" Fan Xiao suddenly thought of this possibility and asked worriedly.
Ran Sinian shrugged, "That's okay, if that's the case, in addition to the increase in Ai Qin's suspicions, we can also attack that maid, maybe the maid's dream is even more unique." β
"Mr. Ran, will it be too late? After all, you've already said that the case will be solved within a week. Fan Xiao was quick to talk and directly expressed his worries.
Ran Sinian turned his head and looked out the window, still looking at ease and light, and said lightly: "I don't care, it's a big deal to sell the house and lose money, you still have to worry about Team Qu." β
Qu Zichong laughed heartily, "I want to take a big vacation to travel, but I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity this time." β
Qu Zichong sent Ran Sinian back to the villa, made an appointment to pick him up tomorrow morning, and took Fan Xiao to say goodbye. Before leaving, he also promised to help Ran Sinian find a reliable tenant and help Ran Sinian reduce his financial pressure. Ran Sinian was noncommittal, he was well aware of his thoughts, including subconscious resistance, and he did not want strangers to intrude into his private space. But he was embarrassed to directly refuse Qu Zichong's kindness.
This night, Ran Sinian fell asleep with a mission, he constantly strengthened his consciousness, told himself to seek some clues to the evergreen case in his dreams, and found clues in the holographic three-dimensional picture of the evergreen house that he scanned during the day. Of course, he couldn't give up his personal affairs, he had to continue to have that nightmare of explosions, and for the Nth time in his dreams he tried to see the courier's face.
More importantly, Ran Sinian put his fully charged phone on the bedside table, ready to answer the voice changer's call again.
Ran Sinian woke up on time at six o'clock in the morning, and in the dream of the explosion last night, he still couldn't remember the courier's face, but about the villa of the Changqing family, Ran Sinian did have some receipts.
Ran Sinian patted his head helplessly, lamenting that his so-called super ability had helped so many people and solved so many cases, but he couldn't do anything about his own affairs.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Qu Zichong carried Fan Xiao to pick up Ran Sinian, and the three of them first had a simple breakfast nearby, and then hurried to the evergreen villa.
On the way, Qu Zichong told Ran Sinian about the information they obtained from the overtime investigation last night. Last night, Qu Zichong discovered a common point between the murder video and the movie, that is, the clown costume worn by the murderer is exactly the same as one of the clown costumes in the movie!
Qu Zichong led people to contact the staff of the movie overnight, found the warehouse where the movie props and costumes were stored, and found a blood-stained clown costume in the closet of the warehouse. I brought the clothes back overnight, and the preliminary comparison showed that the blood on the clothes was evergreen, and the clown shoes were also stained with blood, and compared with the photos of the bloody footprints left at the scene, the size and shape were all the same! In other words, the murderer wore this costume to kill people.
Then here comes the problem: firstly, there is no trace of the lock of the warehouse being picked; Secondly, in addition to the costume designer and prop master who had an alibi on the night of the crime, there were also five crew members who had the key to the warehouse, and they had every opportunity to equip the key and freely enter and leave the warehouse to get clothes and return clothes, and among these five people, three people did not have an alibi on the night of the crime. In other words, Qu Zichong has already locked up three suspects.
"The three suspects are the heroine of the movie, Rao Peier, a vase beauty with no acting skills and a career line who is now hacked on the Internet; the male protagonist of the movie, the idol Xiaosheng Bai Yifeng who takes the route of a cool brother; There is also the screenwriter of the movie, who is also a well-known ace screenwriter in the industry, Tan Jiansheng, the fifth diamond king who has passed the age. All three of them have something to do with the movie, which is even more suspicious. Qu Zichong introduced succinctly.
Fan Xiao echoed: "Team Qu also invited these three people to Changqing's villa, Mr. Ran, if you can directly point out who the murderer is later, it would be great, I am optimistic about you!" β
Qu Zichong had already developed a habit, once his eyes drifted to Fan Xiao, he would roll his eyes again, and said angrily: "You, you are so naΓ―ve, how can things be so simple?" β
At half past eight, Ran Sinian and his party arrived at Changqing's villa on time, Ran Sinian also expected that they would be the only punctual party, Changqing's wife Ai Qin had not yet gone downstairs, and the other three suspects were not present.
Five minutes later, Ai Qin Shanshan walked downstairs, and at a glance she saw the plague god Ran Sinian in her eyes, and couldn't help but pout.
"Mrs. Chang," Ran Sinian was the first to get up and say hello, stretching out his hand to signal Ai Qin to sit opposite him, "How was your rest last night?" β
Ai Qin frowned, and said unhappily, "You seem to be particularly concerned about my rest last night?" β
Ran Sinian nodded generously and acknowledged, "That's right, that's exactly the purpose of my trip, the purpose is to explore the dream you had when you rested last night. β
"What?" Ai Qin raised her voice, even more displeased, "What tricks are you going to do again?" β
Ran Sinian did not accept the offer, but changed the topic and said calmly: "A pair of Binwang playing cards, a Korean 777 nail clipper, a box of cotton swabs of camellia, of which there are still 44 cotton swabs left, a red and blue gel pen in Chenguang, the ink of the red refill will run out immediately, a copy of the same brand sticky note paper, and the top one has a handwriting imprint, and it is written with a phone number: 1884078......"
"Enough!" Ai Qian angrily interrupted Ran Sinian, knowing that this was Ran Sinian answering the question she had asked yesterday, about the objects in the bedside table drawer in the guest room. She didn't remember the rest very well, but she still remembered the phone number, because it was the same number that a friend who had stayed in the guest room had left her.
Ran Sinian didn't care about Ai Qin's anger and embarrassment at all, and continued: "I haven't finished talking yet, in the end, there is a box of family planning supplies, of which ......"
Ai Qin hurriedly raised his hand to stop Ran Sinian, "Okay, okay, even if you really have some unforgettable ability, don't say it!" β
Ran Sinian corrected: "It's not that I don't forget, on the contrary, I forget it, and what gave me the correct answer was my dream last night, which I said yesterday." Now, what I want to know is your dream, and maybe your dream also has the answer to the evergreen murder. Maybe you already know some clues, or even the identity of the real murderer, but you don't know that you already know. And I can help you extract all the information hidden in your subconscious. β
In order to prevent the two from continuing to talk, the atmosphere was even more embarrassing, and once again explained to Ai Qin Ran Sinian's special ability, as well as Ran Sinian's exploits in helping them solve the case in the past.
Ai Qin listened to Qu Zichong's introduction, his face softened a little, and he said in a low voice: "If you want to talk about dreams, I have indeed done it in the past two days, but I can't remember it clearly." β
Qu Zichong smiled regretfully, "That's right, that's okay, when the other few people arrive, we can ask them again, maybe Si Nian will dig up some clues in their dreams, and your maid, I think she may remember some dreams too." β
Hearing Qu Zichong say this, Ai Qin lowered her head and groaned for a while, and said quietly: "Although I can't remember the dream of the other day, I still remember the dream of last night." β
Ran Sinian had long expected that as soon as Qu Zichong said this, Ai Qin would change his attitude and cooperate with him. From Ai Qin's point of view, because there is video proof, on the surface, she can be said to have no suspicion of murder, unless she buys murder. Since she is the least suspect of all the suspects, it is better to take the initiative and provide the police with the information they want first, so as to avoid the other three people from making up dreams to criticize her and make the police suspicious of her.
"I think I had three dreams." Ai Qin rubbed her temples, looking like she was trying her best to think.
"To be precise, you remember three dreams, and people have many dreams in a night, which is related to the length of sleep and the level of excitement in the brain," Ran Sinian said. So, let's talk about these three dreams that you remember. Let's start with the first one in order. β
Qu Zichong secretly observed Ai Qin's micro-expressions and subtle body movements, and with the experience of an experienced old criminal policeman, he felt that Ai Qin did not feel like he was lying and making things up. Of course, Qu Zichong's observation is not simply to see whether Ai Qin's eyes look to the left or right when she speaks. In many previous film and television dramas, it was preached that looking to the left was lying, and looking to the right was reminiscing. Even Fan Xiao, who is keen on crime American dramas, once asked him if this assertion was correct. Qu Zichong had to act as a rumor crusher for Fan Xiao, only judging whether a person was lying by looking left and right with his eyes, which was really too arbitrary and dogmatic. If it's really as simple as it says in film and television dramas, then what lie detector is used? In reality, the conclusions reached by a lie detector cannot be used as evidence in court, let alone looking left and right?
Ai Qin was emotional when she told the dream, her eyes were looking at the wall with empty eyes, but it was as if she had seen last night's dream, and she still had a sense of immersive fear. Ai Qin's description is generally quite organized, but it is not very organized like what was prepared in advance, and in summary, her three dreams are as follows:
Ai Qin's first dream: she dreamed of the crematorium in the crematorium, there were flames constantly popping out of the crematorium, the fire was very strong, the smoke made her unable to open her eyes, she couldn't breathe, very sad. Ai Qin pushed Changqing's body, trying to push it into the crematorium. However, she tried a lot of strength, but she couldn't push, as if there was some force in the smoke in front of her that was stopping her, pushing against her. In the end, Ai Qin finally pushed the body into the crematorium and closed the door of the furnace, but she heard Evergreen's heart-rending screams coming from inside, she looked down and saw that there was a big palm print on the edge of the crematorium, and it turned out that the force that had just stopped her was that Evergreen grabbed the edge of the furnace with his hand. Ai Qin hurriedly turned on the crematorium and pulled Changqing out, only to find that Changqing, who had just one breath left, had been burned alive!
After Ai Qin finished her first dream, she tried to calm her breathing and calm herself, and asked the maid to make her a cup of coffee.
