I was very surprised by Lin Yingxue's sudden words, and the two fat and thin policemen next to me were staring at Lin Yingxue and whispering in a low voice. God knows what they were talking about at this moment.
I turned to look at Bai Longfei, and saw that he still had that weird smile on his face. I immediately understood that this was what Bai Longfei meant. Bai Longfei was always trying to bring Lin Yingxue and me together intentionally or unintentionally. Did he really want us to be together
Lin Yingxue has a cold personality, and I have no way of guessing what she is thinking. I don't like to be sentimental, and I think things should be left to develop freely. As for the outcome, I can only leave it to fate.
Just like that, Lin Yingxue and I went to her room. As for Bai Longfei and the others, they probably went back to their respective rooms to sleep. After I entered Lin Yingxue's room, I found that there were two simple single beds in her room. No wonder she took the initiative to ask me to come in and sleep with her. But when I saw these two single beds, I actually felt a little disappointed.
Lin Yingxue quickly helped me tidy up the other bed, and then went to my room to get the quilt. Then we went to rest and planned to discuss anything tomorrow morning.
After experiencing so many strange things in one night, I was completely unable to sleep. There was no movement from Lin Yingxue, so I thought she was asleep and did not disturb her. I could only stare blankly at the dark environment outside the window.
"You said at that time that you had a nightmare before, right? Can you tell me about your nightmare?"
While I was in a daze, Lin Yingxue suddenly spoke. It turned out that she hadn't fallen asleep yet. Anyway, I was bored, so I told Lin Yingxue about the nightmare I had.
After Lin Yingxue finished listening, I heard her sigh in the darkness and said, "No wonder you were so scared. Is the female ghost in your dream exactly the same as the female corpse you saw just now?"
"Of course, I was observing closely in my dream, so I couldn't be wrong! It is precisely because of this that I feel that this dream is not simple. It seems that I have discovered something in the dream, but I just haven't figured it out yet. Moreover, the red-clothed female ghost in the dream also said that we are not allowed to leave Kaimen Village. Is there another hidden meaning in this sentence?"
Lin Yingxue also felt that this matter was strange. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The biggest question now is, who is this deceased person? Why did the murderer dress up as a female ghost in red to scare people? Why did the murderer hide in Kaimen Village and create such a series of strange events?"
Hearing this, I said helplessly, "Xiaoxue, you don't think that Shufen and Dalin are the murderers this time, do you?"
"That must be the case. These two people appeared so strangely, and brought about the 'resurrection' incident. Moreover, they have been missing for three whole years. These two people are the characters that run through all the events in Kaimen Village this time. If they are not the murderer, then who is it?"
I shook my head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. If they are really the murderer, then I think they have only one purpose, which is to seek death. They are clearly already very suspicious, but they still want to do something like killing, and they kill so blatantly. Isn't this courting death? But from the contact with Shufen and the others during the day, Shufen didn't seem to have any intention of committing suicide, so I think the possibility of her killing is not very high."
As I was talking, I suddenly felt a headache, so I tapped my head with my hand and said, "But who did this? What strange secrets are hidden in this Kaimen Village? Do you think I should dwell on the dream I had? Am I a little neurotic?"
I said with a self-deprecating smile, while Lin Yingxue said in a very serious tone: "I think it is very necessary, because people's dreams often show their true inner thoughts. My teacher is a professor who studies dreams. I have been with him since I was a child, so I know some knowledge in this area. My teacher once said that human development of the brain is just the tip of the iceberg. Many times when humans are studying some difficult problems, they feel clueless. In fact, the brain has already calculated everything, but humans themselves are not aware of this. When dreaming, human thinking is completely controlled by the brain. This is the best time to use the brain capacity. The dream you have is very likely the truth you have discovered."
"Is what you said true?" I had never heard of Lin Yingxue's remarks. Maybe it was because I was narrow-minded, but I felt that what she said made sense. After all, her words were very consistent with many situations I had encountered before.
"Of course it's true. My teacher has also published a book on dream analysis, which uses scientific methods to determine the meaning of dreams. It's much more scientific than Zhou Gong's dream interpretation."
When talking about her teacher, Lin Yingxue always has so much to say. It seems that this teacher must have a very high status in Lin Yingxue's heart. I immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you said. Tomorrow I'll go and see the construction team here first to see what's going on! But your teacher is really amazing. I really want to meet such an amazing person. Take me to see the teacher when you have time."
"Okay, the teacher should be back from abroad in a while, and I'll take you to see him then."
I don’t know if it was my illusion or what, but in the darkness, when Lin Yingxue said this, she seemed to be smiling happily. However, because the light around her was too dim, I couldn’t see what she looked like when she was really happy.
After chatting with Lin Yingxue for a while, I felt a lot more relaxed. Before I knew it, I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside, but Lin Yingxue was gone. I guess she got up and went out to prepare breakfast.
After I got up, packed up and walked out the door, I saw Bai Longfei was already up and standing at the window of the room where I had slept before, staring at the female corpse. It was rare for Bai Longfei to get up so early. It seemed that the case in Kaimen Village this time had completely attracted his attention.
"Ji Wen, are you up? Let's go eat something. Lin Yingxue made a delicious instant noodle breakfast. I guess we'll have to trouble her to cook for us in the next few days."
I couldn't help but feel a little strange. No matter how you cook instant noodles, they are just instant noodles. How delicious can they be? So I walked up to him and asked, "How is it? Did you figure out anything?"
Bai Longfei frowned and said, "Not yet, but now we can be sure that the body of the deceased was indeed disguised by the murderer. Look at the face of the deceased. Although the blood on the surface may be the deceased's own, the murderer has smeared a thick layer of gray powder on it. The composition of this powder is still unclear. It should look a bit like incense ash. The face of the deceased has also been made into a weird smile. No wonder you were so scared when you suddenly saw it last night. I guess if it were me, I would be scared to death too."
When I saw the corpse in front of me again, I was naturally not as frightened as I was last night. I even had the urge to take a kitchen knife and chop it up to avenge myself. I forced myself to suppress this weird thought and asked Bai Longfei, "Have Director Yang and the others been notified?"
Bai Longfei nodded and said, "The two police officers called to inform us when they got up this morning. They have already sent people and the forensic doctor over. They should be here in about an hour. You should go eat something first. You will probably be busy today."
I understood what Bai Longfei meant by "something to do". After all, there were too many things that needed to be thoroughly sorted out today, so I nodded and turned to go eat. But I suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Brother Long, why don't you use the two policemen's phones to call Uncle Bai? After all, it's better to talk to Uncle Bai about this matter. Now that a murder has occurred, maybe there are still things that can use Uncle Bai's help."
After hearing this, Bai Longfei sighed and said, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? I called them this morning using their phone. Their phone seems to be similar to a walkie-talkie. It can only contact the police station in the township, and it is impossible to call the special case team. I am convinced that the signal is so bad even though we are in the same city."
In that case, there was nothing I could do. I said goodbye to Bai Longfei and went to the room with the kitchen. Lin Yingxue had already prepared my breakfast and brought me a bowl of instant noodles on a plate. Although I usually don't like instant noodles, when I saw the instant noodles cooked by Lin Yingxue, I immediately felt my appetite grow. They were delicious and there was no smell of instant noodles in the air.
I tried it immediately, and sure enough, I didn't know what kind of cooking skills Lin Yingxue used, but the instant noodles she made were not only not disgusting to eat, but also had a taste similar to the special fried noodles I had eaten in Zhongwei City. Originally, I wanted to eat something light in the morning, but I still finished the whole plate of instant noodles.
"My sister-in-law is beautiful and she cooks delicious food. You really found a treasure."
The fat and thin policemen also ate with their mouths drooling, praising the food endlessly.
I was just about to explain to them the relationship between Lin Yingxue and I when I heard Bai Longfei suddenly shouting outside the door: "Ji Wen, come here quickly! We found something!"
Hearing Bai Longfei's shout, Lin Yingxue and I immediately rushed out of the room, but we didn't see Bai Longfei. Until Bai Longfei spoke again, I saw that Bai Longfei was actually on the roof of the room where I slept last night. How did he climb up so high
When Bai Longfei saw that I had discovered him, he immediately said, "The dust on the roof is very evenly distributed, and there are no footprints at all. This rope hanging on the edge of the roof must have been hung from the outside, and it is the same as what the thin police officer encountered before. Could it be that this rope was really hung by a flying female ghost in red?"
