"Dexter. Or, Dexter Moss. That's your real name."
…
In fact, before today, before everything was revealed by the other party, Dexter was already suspicious of Brian's intentions. But he never imagined that the Carl Black, who made him care about but fell in love, turned out to be his own brother.
"How much do you remember?" It wasn't the first time Dexter had been asked. And the person who first asked Dexter this question was his adoptive father, Harry Morgan, who died not long ago.
Dexter vividly remembers when he was asked this by Harry, in a very similar scene to when he was asked this question by Carl Black, or rather Brian Moss. It's all on that yacht, because that's the only place Harry and he can really talk to each other.
Dexter knew from an early age that he was actually adopted by Harry Morgan. The first time I discovered it was because I had tortured and killed the neighbor's house, and had been quarreling until the adoptive mother was resting. Dexter overheard his adoptive mother questioning Harry about his true origins.
It was only after that that he realized that his ignorant but cruel methods were actually abnormal. It's just that after Harry discovered it before, he carefully helped him cover up the traces of the incident. Only he and Harry knew that there was more than the body of the vicious dog buried under the big tree in the yard.
He had been having a nightmare since he could remember, and there was blood in his blurred vision. In the dream, he was still very small, and a woman whose face could not be seen was reaching out to him and crying. But there were three terrifyingly strong men pressing on her, and then there was the splatter of blood, and in the dream his vision was dark, only vague and noisy voices remained.
And this bloody and violent dream became the enlightenment of his killing intent. Because of his curiosity about the bloody color, for the first time he began to dissect an old cat that died of illness on the street. The blood flowing from the old cat's corpse seemed to bring him closer to that specious dream.
Because of this subconscious pursuit, he gradually developed an even more uncontrollable desire to kill. When the blood came out of his hands, it seemed that he was no longer the weak and deceiving child in the dream, he controlled the life and death of others. The thought calmed his tense emotions.
Maybe Harry knew it, so he didn't punish Dexter severely for this kind of behavior. Because he knew that no matter what he did, it was useless. He couldn't change Dexter's mind any more than he could get rid of Dexter's desire for blood.
Talking and teaching while fishing at sea, without the knowledge of his adoptive mother and sister Debra, became a secret between Dexter and Harry Morgan.
After Harry's death, Dexter met Carl Black, who came with a purpose. Out of an unknown impulse, he invited the other party to re-open the leisure habit of leisure time with his adoptive father. Who knew that this random stranger would surprise him a lot.
Dexter was originally a very patient person, although when facing Brian, his lingering patience would disappear inexplicably in the later stage, making him look frizzy. impatient. But Dexter had been very patient before, waiting and giving Brian a chance to get one step closer to him.
When the two of them went fishing together, Carl Black spoke out his inner fears and desires without hesitation. Afterwards, he didn't care, and through what he casually revealed, he wanted to move out of the Lord's idea by himself, and invited him to see the house together. Dexter waited patiently, but he didn't expect a subversive "surprise".
In the old house at 103 Bogle Street, because of Brian's various designs, he finally recalled the memories that had settled in the deepest memory as a child. It turns out that this is his life experience, he still has a brother
But knowing all this made Dexter even more puzzled. If he had an older brother named Brian Moss, and even an older brother who was so similar to him at heart. Then why after so many years, knowing that the other party has only come over now
Maybe it was because he knew the doubts in Dexter's heart at that time, although he was close to Dexter's goal, it was already clear at this time. But Brian didn't immediately press Dexter to answer what he asked on the boat. Instead, they re-appointed a meeting time and left.
The original words are as follows: "Although you already know the purpose of my approach to you, I think you must have more doubts. Then I will leave you time, you can check for yourself what happened that year. Things. How much is your adoptive father Harry Morgan hiding from you, just follow a date and everything will become clear…”
"July 23rd, 1994. I'll give you another week, next time we'll see you at the closed port to the west that I told you about. Maybe then you'll know why I chose to be there. meet."
After that, Brian Moss turned and left.
The day after Dexter left, the first thing he did was not to check the cause of the nightmare that had haunted him for more than ten years according to the time given by the other party. Instead, he sneaked into the police system through the convenient door left by Harry and began to inquire about information related to Brian Moss.
However, nothing was found. The files recorded in the police station generally only record the information of those who have committed crimes. But looking into Brian Morse's records came up empty-handed and found nothing. After that, Dexter inquired about the case that had been handled by the police station more than ten years ago, on July 23, 1994.
Because although he grew up, that kind of nightmare was no longer the same as when he was a child, and he often tortured his nerves in the dream. But according to the only thing he remembered, the shaky vision and bloody eyes in the dream. At least it would be a horrific murder.
However, again nothing. Dexter searched for cases from this time to the next month, even the year, and still found nothing. No woman named Morse was killed, and no child was ever found at the murder scene. Everything seems to have been wiped clean on purpose.
Dexter, who stayed up all night with bloodshot eyes, suddenly remembered the meaningful words in Brian's mouth. How much is Harry Morgan hiding from you? More than ten years ago, Harry was the man of the Miami Police Department's Criminal Investigation Headquarters. If Brian didn't give him the wrong time, was that information about that case that he deliberately deleted
Why do you do that? As Dexter went to school all night long, Brian Moss's name flooded his mind. It felt like it was going to explode, and Dexter thought out Brian Moss' name.
"You like Brian too?!" The girl sitting next to him in a study group with him suddenly said to him in surprise.
"What?" Dexter, sleepy but unable to sleep, glared at the girl with his bloodshot eyes. "Do you know Brian Moss?" The other party was obviously frightened by him, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, quite unhappy.
"I want to know Brian Moss," the girl rolled her eyes angrily and continued, "But I know him, he doesn't know me. To be honest, you wouldn't be that kind of...you know...that A perverted stalker fan?"
"By the way, who is Brian Moss?" Another boy came over and interjected. Then he asked this sentence, which was despised by the girl.
"America's Next Top Model regretfully retired the little fresh meat, the Brian Moss who shines on the current Survivor! You can google a lot of his news, and even the encyclopedia is out, okay? Check it out for yourself." The girl looked incredulous, and you didn't know his expression.
"Speaking of which, Dexter has red hair just like Brian... It's a pity that you are not tall or handsome! Hahahaha!" The boy who checked the encyclopedia couldn't help but say Radxter into the water after reading it. Because I don't want to be ridiculed by the group alone.
Dexter had also forcibly suppressed his excitement, wanting to immediately check the Blaine Moss in the crowd. But when he heard the boy say that the other party was a redhead, he stopped again. Because the Brian Moss he knew should have black hair.
After class, Dexter walked out of the classroom with his book in his head and his head buried in his arms. He lost his previous experience of laughing and condescending with his classmates around him. As he was walking, he suddenly ran.
Because he finally knew something was wrong when he saw Brian Moss! If you think about it seriously, in those memories that have become clear and three-dimensional, my brother Brian Moss is actually red-haired!
Maybe it was to keep Carl Black's fake identity from being suspected, that the other party did that kind of dress? Or maybe it was to disturb his previous plans so as not to attract the attention of others. And the more likely reason is because Harry concealed the truth of what happened back then. Brian didn't want to be kicked out by Harry's former colleague before he remembered him...
No wonder her aunt, who was a police filer, suddenly cared so much about her after Harry died. Is it to prevent him from getting close to him? Dexter couldn't help thinking conspiracy theories.
He rushed to the computer room of the school library and directly Googled the name Brian Moss. The man in the picture, if he covers his eyes and only sees his nose and lower lip, is Brian Moss, who goes by the alias of Carl Black. My own brother, is it this man who is like a public lover
The night when he found out who Brian Moss really was, Dexter finally fell asleep watching a video clip of Brian's America's Next Top Model, while remaining painfully awake for two full days.
The video was edited by a male fan named Tom, and only a collection of scenes where Brian appeared. At the beginning of this collection, Brian reveals his origins. He was locked in a mental sanatorium for more than ten years. Is that why he couldn't come out to find himself for so long
Brian wanted to find his brother, and now he has. So what was the thing that separated them back then, and the truth of that nightmare? With the last question, Dexter fell into a deep sleep.
