As for why I dreamed of inconsequential impressions, and for those that really excited me enough to "think about it day and dream at night," I think the best way to explain it is to use the "censorship" of the psychological force mentioned in the phenomenon of "dream modification."

—The Interpretation of Freud's Dream

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened on the 14th floor of the high-rise office building, and Ran Sinian stepped out of the elevator.

Because of the heavy rain, Ran Sinian was late. Ran Sinian lowered his head and saw his muddy footprints on the clean floor tiles, as well as the figure of himself and a man beside him.

That person was the courier he was about to bump into, to be precise, the man dressed as a courier - the bomber.

Ran Sinian was ready, planning to raise his eyes to look at this man in his dreams for the umpteenth time, and to see what this man looked like without much hope. Only this time, before Ran Sinian could raise his eyes to look at him, the other party spoke first.

"Mr. Ran!" A familiar and immature voice came out very suddenly, startling Ran Sinian.

Ran Sinian looked up in disbelief and looked at the person who spoke, the other party was not tall, dressed as a courier, but he was wearing big glasses, with an immature and innocent smile, coupled with this familiar voice, who is this person not Fan Xiao?

"Fan Xiao? How did you end up here? Ran Sinian asked suspiciously, and at the same time, his mind was running rapidly, why did Fan Xiao break into his dream?

"I'll deliver it to you!" Fan Xiao pointed to the box in his arms with his eyes.

Ran Sinian stood still and asked coldly, "What's in the box?" ”

"How do I know that? I'm just sending a courier, not a courier," Fan Xiao still looked heartless and grinning, and his words revealed scheming and immature innocence, "I'll send you to the room." Can you lead the way? ”

Ran Sinian nodded, he wanted to see what direction this dream would go, what his subconscious wanted to tell him, and what Fan Xiao had to do with the explosion a year ago.

Entering the office, Ran Sinian kept staring at Fan Xiao intently, watching Fan Xiao carefully put the express box on his desk.

"Mr. Ran, then I'll go first." Fan Xiao smiled and waved to Ran Sinian.

"Wait a minute, who told you to send this to me? Is it Qu Zichong? "Ran Sinian didn't want to just let Fan Xiao go.

Fan Xiao said as a matter of course: "Then naturally, I am a subordinate of the Qu team." Needless to say, I have to go back to my life. ”

Ran Sinian didn't chase him out and ask anything, he instinctively couldn't ask anything again, so it was better to stay and see how the plot would develop.

Thinking like this, Ran Sinian in the dream actually fell asleep, and he simply lay on the table to take a nap, just like before the explosion really happened.

The sound of crying and mourning became louder and louder, and once again awakened Ran Sinian's subconscious, his dream within a dream.

Ran Sinian followed the sound of mourning in the white fog, and he wanted to meet the funeral procession as soon as possible.

Soon, several figures loomed in the mist, Ran Sinian rubbed his eyes, and saw a few people at the head, the front was a man holding an urn with both hands, wearing linen and filial piety, and there were two men behind him.

"Fan Xiao?" Ran Sinian couldn't believe his eyes and discernment, but that figure, that round face, that glasses, who was Fan Xiao if he wasn't it?

This time, the person holding the urn in the dream is no longer the middle-aged man, but Fan Xiao!

"Mr. Ran? What a coincidence. Fan Xiao also saw Ran Sinian and greeted him with a smile.

"You are ......" Ran Sinian glanced at the urn that Fan Xiao was holding in his hand.

"My father has passed away and I am in the process of giving him a funeral." Fan Xiao's face suddenly changed, and the smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a tear stain.

"Your father?" Ran Sinian was startled, and immediately went to look at the small photo on the urn, it didn't matter, he recognized it, the man in the photo not only looked like Fan Xiao, but also the bomber dressed as a courier he had always wanted to identify!

"He's your father?" Ran Sinian involuntarily took a few steps back, and facing Fan Xiao, he felt a sense of fear for the first time.

Fan Xiao nodded innocently, "Yes." ”

"How did your father die?" Ran Sinian tried to ask, expecting Fan Xiao in his dream to give an answer.

"My father died of cancer." Fan Xiao said with tears in his eyes.

Ran Sinian looked at the photos on the urn again, and immediately understood the cause of the so-called terminal cancer, he remembered that when he saw this bomber in the counseling center a year ago, his face was very bad, like a terminally ill person, and his body was also extremely thin and sick. Based on these, Ran Sinian guessed that this person was dying.

"Fan Xiao, what is the relationship between your father and Qu Zichong?" Although Ran Sinian asked like this, he actually already had an answer, and after he asked, he had already guessed the answer given by Fan Xiao.

"They are friends, and my father dragged the Qu team to take care of me......" Before Fan Xiao finished speaking, the urn suddenly exploded, and a wave of heat rushed to the door of Ran Sinian, which made him wake up instantly.

Panting and staring at the dark bedroom ceiling, Ran Sinian was pleasantly surprised. He calmed down for half a minute, immediately got up and turned on the light, got up to find Rao Pei'er upstairs.

"Pei'er, I know why Qu Zichong wants to ask you what I think of Fan Xiao!" Ran Sinian didn't care that it was two o'clock in the morning, and excitedly knocked on Rao Peier's door.

Rao Pei'er rubbed her eyes and opened the door, and asked in a daze, "What time is it?" ”

Ran Sinian didn't care that Rao Pei'er was only wearing a slightly revealing pajamas at this time, and directly gave Rao Pei'er a bear hug, cheering loudly: "My dream has given me a hint, the bomber a year ago is likely to be Fan Xiao's father!" ”

Rao Pei'er came to her senses, "What did you say?" Fan Xiao's father? ”

Ran Sinian concisely told Rao Peier about the dream he had just had, and finally said firmly: "I know my dream best, this is what it wants to give me, and this is how my subconscious mind identifies!" Maybe it's the recent contact with Fan Xiao that really reminds me of the appearance of the bomber who looks like Fan Xiao! ”

"Wouldn't it? If that's the case, it's really a big mistake for Qu Zichong to let you know Fan Xiao. ”

Ran Sinian's face sank again, "This is Qu Zichong's temptation of me, he wants to use Fan Xiao as a test, he wants to know when I will become suspicious of him, once there is any change on my side, he will continue the plan from a year ago and eradicate me." However, I can also feel that Qu Zichong is still subjectively unwilling to lose me, he still needs my help, and he is not willing to risk killing me again unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

Rao Pei'er snorted, "Oh my God, could it be that Qu Zichong has always had the idea of wanting to kill you?" I really don't see how ruthless he is. ”

"Sometimes people do everything in order to protect themselves," Ran Sinian changed his excitement just now, and said heavily, "Pei'er, I think you should keep a distance from me for the time being......"

"Don't! If I leave you at this time, it will arouse Qu Zichong's suspicions, doesn't that mean that I have indirectly harmed you? Rao Pei'er didn't give up, looking non-negotiable, "We will pretend that we don't know anything now, and continue to cooperate with Qu Zichong to help him solve the case, which will not arouse his suspicion!" And there's also me, a double agent with acting skills, so I'm sure he won't find anything! ”

Ran Sinian smiled bitterly, thinking that everyone in and outside the circle knows how to do your Rao Peier's acting skills, and it is a more dangerous choice to put the lives of both of them on Rao Peier's acting skills.

"Okay, for the sake of our safety, we have to be cautious in every move in the future, especially when facing Fan Xiao," Ran Sinian rubbed his chin and said hesitantly, "Next, we can start investigating from Fan Xiao's father, he is a friend of Qu Zichong, he should be about 50 years old, he should be terminally ill, and he died not long after the explosion, of course, he may still be alive......"

Rao Pei'er suddenly raised her hand to interrupt Ran Sinian, "Wait a minute, you said that Fan Xiao's father is a friend of Qu Zichong, and he is about 50 years old, so 29 years ago, this person was in his early 20s?" ”

Ran Sinian was taken aback, and immediately understood what Rao Pei'er meant, "Do you suspect that it was Fan Xiao's father and Qu Zichong who killed Li Wenci's own parents 29 years ago?" ”

"It's likely, isn't it?" Rao Pei'er clapped her hands excitedly, "I think Fan Xiao's father must have a good relationship with Qu Zichong, otherwise Qu Zichong would not let him send you a bomb, and he would not take care of his son Fan Xiao after the death of his old friend." Besides, if the murder of Li Wenci's biological parents was committed by the two of them together, 29 years later, in order to cover up the crime of the year, the two are very likely to cooperate again, with Qu Zichong responsible for killing Li Wenci and killing him, and Fan Xiao's father is responsible for sending you a bomb. ”

Ran Sinian frowned and nodded heavily, "That's right, it seems that this possibility is extremely high at the moment. It seems that we have to find a way to secretly investigate Fan Xiao's father. ”

"How?" Rao Pei'er asked anxiously, "Apart from Qu Zichong, do you know any other people who can investigate the background?" ”

Ran Sinian nodded helplessly, "If you want to talk about such a character, I really know one." ”

Rao Pei'er could see that Ran Sinian's expression was strange, and thought to herself that this person who could help had never heard him mention it, but who could help him with such a private and even dangerous favor, who could this person be?

"His name is He Qirui, he is an old friend of mine, and he has been a classmate since high school," Ran Sinian exhaled heavily, "Our relationship has always been very good, until after the bombing a year ago, shortly after I was discharged from the hospital, Miao Mei and I proposed to break up, and after a while, the two of them made their relationship public." ”

Rao Pei'er was stunned, "Oh my God, your best friend stole your girlfriend!" That's bloody, isn't it? ”

"It can't be said to be a robbery, now that I think about it, the relationship between the two of them has always been good, and Miao Mei has always been quite complaining about my dream interpretation therapy, thinking that I am walking the side door, and always persuading me to give up. The relationship between the two of us was actually problematic from the beginning. In comparison, of course, He Qirui, a young and promising university associate professor, can give Miao Mei a sense of security. Ran Sinian shrugged his shoulders and expressed his understanding and agreement with Miao Mei's choice.

Rao Pei'er pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "If I were Miao Mei, I would definitely choose you." ”
