The autopsy results came out, and Shi Yan did die of myocardial infarction.

Compared with Liu Yuzhou's drowning due to a severe disulfiram-like reaction in his body, and Li Xiaojie's suicide after answering a phone call, Shi Yan's cause of death this time can be described as very bizarre......

Judging from the clues currently available, there is a great connection between the three deceased -

First of all, they are old acquaintances, entrepreneurial partners, twenty years ago they formed an entrepreneurial team, side by side, engaged in software development work, feelings naturally needless to say, after the dissolution of the team, the three of them each opened a private studio, the connection has not been broken, and the work is even closer.

Secondly, they all had nightmares within a month, mentioning retribution, and it was clear that they were all afraid of the same thing. This thing is most likely related to the dissolution of their entrepreneurial team twenty years ago. Zhao Long said that there were five people in their entrepreneurial team that year, and three have died.

Third, they died one after another, without any warning, it seems that they all died by suicide and accident, and there was no trace left at the scene. If the disulfiram-like reaction can be accomplished by dosing in wine, but what about suicide by jumping off a building? What's the content of a five-minute call? The most outrageous thing is Shi Yan's myocardial infarction, how did the murderer do it?

Thinking of this, a somewhat absurd idea suddenly appeared in my mind - Shi Yan was scared to death, scared to death by his own dreams.

However, as soon as this idea appeared, I rejected it myself, and dreams are the apparent activity in the brain caused by the partial cerebral cortex not completely stopping its activity during sleep, and it is an involuntary and unconscious behavior. And most of the things in the dream come from daily life, as well as the things that I think about every day, even if it is a nightmare, it will not be so scary as to scare me to death......

Under normal circumstances, the human body has a self-protection mechanism, even if the dream is very scary, at most it only scares people awake, how can they be scared to death?

If he wasn't scared to death by his own nightmare, could he have been killed in a dream? This is also ridiculous, this kind of thing has happened in mythological stories, "Journey to the West" wrote that Wei Zheng and Li Shimin played chess, and dreamed of killing the Dragon King of the Jing River in a sleepy room, how could it happen in reality? !

The most bizarre part of this case is why Shi Yan died of a sudden myocardial infarction just after Liu Yuzhou and Li Xiaojie died one after another? Is this kind of coincidence really possible in real life?

Liu Yuzhou died of drowning, Li Xiaojie died of suicide, and Shi Yan died of sudden death. In any case, Shi Yan's dream and Li Xiaojie's phone call must be very terrifying.

"Could it be persecution paranoia?" Li Meng pondered for a while and said quietly.

"Persecuted? Still delusional? When Jiang Tingbai heard this term, he felt a little inexplicable.

"It's a serious mental illness, a chronic and systematic, organized form of delusions. Delusional content involves situations that can occur in everyday life, such as being stalked, poisoned, assassinated, kidnapped, or framed. Li Meng explained.

After listening to this, Lin Zifan asked in a puzzled tone: "So, they are hallucinating because of this delusional mental illness, and they will have nightmares at night after a long time?" ”

"Their nightmares are most likely related to persecution paranoia, which leads to nightmares due to prolonged psychological panic. But it has nothing to do with hallucinations, to put it bluntly, people with this kind of delusion are scaring themselves, for example, they are delusional that someone is chasing them, and they will be afraid to hide at home, but they will not hallucinate. Li Meng corrected the hallucination mentioned by Lin Zifan.

After listening to them for a long time, I still didn't understand and asked, "Since this paranoia is not a hallucination and does not affect the normal movement of the patient, is there any connection with their death?" Especially Shi Yan, he died of myocardial infarction in his sleep, how did the murderer induce Shi Yan's illness? ”

No one has figured this out.

Retribution, nightmares, sudden death......

In the office of the Serious Crime Unit, the atmosphere is deadly silent, and we can only rely on guesses in cases like this without any clues.

"Could it have something to do with Shi Yan drinking?" Xue Hang thought for a while and said lightly.

"Drinking?" I frowned.

Xue Hang looked at us and analyzed: "The common symptom of myocardial infarction is arrhythmia, Zhao Long said that Shi Yan drank a lot of wine at night, and acetaldehyde accumulated in the body, which would cause the heart to beat faster and blood pressure to drop. Xia Die said that they used to be happy until more than two o'clock in the night, when people are in a state of extreme excitement, adrenaline soars, and it will also promote the heart to beat faster. In the same way, terrible nightmares can also make people's hearts beat faster, and even have symptoms of difficulty breathing, drowsiness after alcoholism, exhaustion after pleasure, plus terrible nightmares, the three are superimposed, to some extent, it will indeed pose a threat to life, causing the tragedy of myocardial infarction and death. ”

There is no problem with Xue Hang's analysis, but what I want to express is that even if Shi Yan's situation that night is very likely to pose a threat to his life, it is not a 100% threat after all. The murderer kills people, definitely not by luck, the murderer will definitely make sure that nothing goes wrong, how is the murderer determined, Shi Yan will definitely have fun with his lover that night, and he will definitely have nightmares?

The autopsy report showed that Shi Yan did have a history of heart disease, and after blood tests, it was not found that Shi Yan had taken drugs and hallucinogens, only a large amount of alcohol.

The most critical thing is the nightmare, and the three of them have had nightmares for nearly a month. Dreams can't be controlled, no one can control the content of their dreams every night, and if I could, I would like to be able to dream of spring every night.

"Everything at the moment is speculation, perhaps, Shi Yan just died in an accident. If you have to make a conclusion about Shi Yan's sudden myocardial infarction, it is that they have been happy for too long. I let out a long sigh of relief and muttered.

"What does myocardial infarction have to do with their pleasure?" Li Meng rushed to me with a surprised face.

The corners of my mouth twitched, and it felt like teasing her when I said this. But now after all, it is to solve the case, I thought about it, and decided to explain it directly: "Alcohol will make people's bodies feel paralyzed, and sensitivity will naturally decrease, otherwise an uncle who is nearly fifty years old can toss with his lover for so long and not sleep until two or three o'clock?" ”

Li Meng's face was a little red, but she still didn't understand what this kind of thing had to do with myocardial infarction.

"What Lao Qin means is that he drank a lot of wine and tossed again, so he naturally slept very hard, otherwise even if the nightmare was terrible, at most he would wake himself up, and he would not be scared to death." Jiang Tingbai followed my words and explained everything clearly.

"Oh......" After listening to Jiang Tingbai's explanation, Li Meng finally understood the reason. She understood, and her face turned redder.

This kind of conclusion not only made Li Meng feel a little surprised, but even I felt a little shocked. Drinking and pleasure caused me to wake up from a nightmare and be scared to death sounds somewhat exaggerated, although it is possible, but it is extremely unlikely.

I still think the same way, how does the murderer guarantee that Shi Yan will be so tired that he will suddenly have a myocardial infarction?
