Chapter 89: Dream kills

Views:

Gao Weixiong died inexplicably at home. From the surface, it seems that he was overly frightened to death in his sleep, or even frightened to death by his own dream. However, being scared to death by your own dream is too incredible! I am afraid it has never happened in ancient and modern China and abroad. However, just as I was wondering about this, a man and Zhao Song who were present caught my attention. They walked outside the balcony and whispered, and I deliberately approached to eavesdrop. Although they deliberately lowered their voices, I could barely hear them clearly.

"Boss, do you think it's the ghost of the Song surnamed that lingers, Xiao Gao..." Before the man finished speaking, his body trembled a little.

"Xiao Huang, don't talk nonsense, there is such a thing in this world." Although Zhao Song said so, his face became very ugly.

"However, since that incident, I have often had nightmares, and I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be like Xiao Gao..." The man named Xiao Huang didn't dare to say any more, his body was trembling, and his strong body seemed to become weak in an instant. Zhao Song was no better than that, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Huang seemed even more frightened, and asked in a trembling voice, "Boss, you... have you had nightmares?"

Zhao Song's fat body shook suddenly, and his face became even paler, but he then roared: "I haven't had any nightmares! Huang Zhao, please stop talking nonsense..." When he said this, he found that everyone in the living room was full of Looking at them, I realized my voice was getting louder. Of course, he also found me behind them.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" I forced a "friendly" smile.

Huang Zhao seemed to have something to say to me, but before he even opened his mouth, Zhao Song gave him a nudge, stepped forward and said to me, "It's nothing, Xiao Gao is his good brother, he just can't stand talking nonsense for a while. It's okay, It's okay, you don't have to worry about him."

Only a fool would believe the nonsense he said, and Huang Zhao must know something. However, in front of Zhao Song, he could not provide me with any information, so he could only find an opportunity to chat with him privately.

"Amu, come here." Yue Tong came out of the bedroom and beckoned to me and Zhen Zhen, it seemed that she found something inside.

We walked into the bedroom and she took us to the window and pointed to the edge of the window for me to see. However, after looking for a while and not seeing anything special, I asked, "Is there anything strange here?"

"You should bring a magnifying glass next time." She said, and she used a clip to pick out a fine hair from the window sill, and asked Lang Ping to hand me a magnifying glass.

I used a magnifying glass to observe the fine hair on the clip, which is a little longer than the eyebrows, very fine and solid black in color. After looking at it for a while, it seemed like an eyelash, but when I looked closely, it didn't seem to be. After watching it for a while, I didn't see anything special, so I had to ask Yuetong what's so special about this fine hair.

She took the magnifying glass from me, observed it carefully, and said, "This should be animal hair."

"What's so special about an animal's hair?" Zhen Zhen asked in confusion.

Yue Tong looked at me but smiled and seemed to want me to explain. I didn't immediately explain the problem to Zhen Zhen, but looked at the window carefully again. There is a window grille on the inside of the window, and the maximum gap can only allow a small dog to pass, and there is an arm-thick water pipe on the outer wall next to the window, other than that, there is nothing special.

"What's so special about this hair?" Zhen Zhen asked again impatiently.

"Have you seen any pets in this house?" I asked her back. She looked around and said, "Are there any pets here?"

I pointed out the window and asked again, "Do you think any animal could crawl here from outside?"

She thought about it for a while, and answered uncertainly: "The cat and the mouse should be able to climb up, right?"

"But why do cats and mice climb here? You don't have to climb so high to find food, and there's nothing to eat here." I paused and smiled again: "That's the strange thing about this hair. It can't be here."

After Yuetong put the hair into the test tube, she told us, "I'll take this hair back for testing first. You can ask the deceased's wife if she has brought small animals home recently." After she said that, she packed up with her subordinates ready to leave.

Zhen Zhen and I returned to the living room and found that Zhao Song and the others had already left. In the living room, apart from the police officers who were dealing with the scene, there were only Nie Hong and his family members. I asked Nie Hong if she had brought animals home, and she answered without hesitation: "No, Wei Xiong doesn't like pets. I told him before that I felt bored at home alone and wanted to keep a Chihuahua to accompany me. But he wouldn't let me. Keep it up, they say it will make the place dirty."

I told her about the hair on the window, and asked if there were any animals crawling in from outside.

"No, this is the thirteenth floor, how could a small animal climb up..." She seemed to remember something, her face suddenly became ugly, her body trembled involuntarily, and it took a long time to continue: "Last night , When I was awakened by Wei Xiong's cry last night, I seemed to see a small dark shadow flashing outside the window."

Could it be that there really was an "uninvited guest" last night? However, what animal would climb to the thirteenth floor in the middle of the night for a stroll? Cats and mice shouldn't climb to such a high place, and the hair found on the windows doesn't look like it's left by birds or bats, so what are "uninvited guests"? Will its arrival be related to Gao Weixiong's death

There are so many hidden problems in this inexplicable murder case, and it made my head bigger. However, the key to this case is only why the deceased died suddenly, so all kinds of threads should start from Gao Weixiong. Therefore, I asked Nie Hong about her husband in detail, such as how they met, Gao Weixiong's daily living habits, etc., but I was most concerned about his frequent nightmares.

"He doesn't always have nightmares, it's just recently..." Although the family members repeatedly comforted her, she still shed tears from time to time, telling me intermittently about her relationship with her husband—

He was my senior brother in college, and we were already together when we were studying. after he graduated. Although he didn't find a job for a while, his uncle was very capable and knew many friends. Later, a friend of Big Berto took care of him and introduced him to work with Boss Zhao. By the time I graduated, his income was not very high, but it was okay, so he didn't let me go to work. He just gave me pocket money every month, and then he simply moved to his house.

His parents liked me very much and always wanted us to get married earlier so that they could have their grandchildren earlier, so they often urged us to get married. However, he wanted to buy a house before getting married, so it took him almost two years to get married until he bought the house a year ago.

(I asked her, since Gao Weixiong’s parents wanted them to get married sooner, why didn’t they provide assistance in buying a house? Gao Weixiong’s parents were all present, and Gao’s father said that his health was not very good, and he spent a lot on medical expenses. So when he offered to help his son buy a house, his son politely refused.)

After we got married, my parents-in-law urged us to have a son every day, and I lived up to their expectations. Unfortunately, I later found out according to the B-ultrasound that I was pregnant with a daughter. Because my parents-in-law really wanted a son, and he wanted a son, so I had to shed my daughter. I wanted to rest for a while to take care of my body and have a son. However, recently, he often went to play with Xiao Huang and the others, and he almost always came back in the middle of the night. Even if he came back very early, he would fall back to sleep as soon as he got home, and he hardly touched me in the past two months. So, I am not pregnant yet.

Although I know that he is messing around outside, I sometimes get angry with him because of this, and even say I want to divorce him. However, it was just a joke. In fact, I knew in my heart that no matter how late he played outside, he still knew that he would go home. My position in his heart was not comparable to those of the broken flowers and willows. At least he will give me home on time every month, and occasionally buy things to coax me...

(At this point, she couldn't help sobbing, and it took her a while to regain her composure and continue elaborating on us.)

He only had frequent nightmares about a year ago. At the beginning, he was a little better, but he was woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night and wouldn't wake me up. I once wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and found him sitting on the bedside smoking a cigarette. After asking, I found out that he woke up from a nightmare. However, since two or three months ago, his condition has become more and more serious. I slept well that night, but in my sleep I seemed to hear someone talking, but I didn't wake up and didn't hear what was being said. I thought I was dreaming, but it didn't take long for him to scream out loud and almost scare me out of bed.

After I was woken up by him, I hurriedly asked him what happened, but he just kept saying things like "don't come here, don't kill me". At that time, I was frightened, I didn't know what happened to him, and it took me a while to know to turn on the light. After turning on the light, I found that although he was talking, his eyes were idle. Then I realized that he was having a nightmare again, so I shook him awake.

After that, he had nightmares almost every night, and every time he would not wake up on his own, I had to push him hard to wake him up. He became very afraid of sleeping because of this. For the past two weeks, he would play with Xiao Huang and the others every night until very late. I know he wants less sleep and less nightmares. However, this method didn't work, as long as he closed his eyes, he would have nightmares, even if he only slept for half an hour. Even if this is the case, there is nothing you can do, you can't help but sleep! So, I just had to be careful and try to shake him up as soon as possible when he's having a nightmare.

Maybe I was a little tired last night and didn't wake him up in time. Unexpectedly, it was so late that he...

From Nie Hong's account, I got the following four relatively important information: First, they have known each other for a long time and have been living together for nearly two years before marriage. This shows that the run-in period between them has long since passed, and their feelings are deep. Because if there is a conflict between her and Gao Weixiong, or with his parents, then she should not marry Gao Weixiong.

Secondly, she has not participated in any job after graduation, and has always depended on Gao Weixiong financially. Not only would her husband's death not benefit her at all financially, it would also deprive her of her bread and butter. Judging from both emotional and financial aspects, she does not seem to have any motive to kill her husband.

Third, although Gao Weixiong has been reused by Zhao Song, it is impossible for him to have his own house without relying on his parents in just a few years. What's more, he also owns a car worth more than 200,000 yuan. It is hard to imagine that he has no illicit income.

Fourth, Gao Weixiong started to have frequent nightmares about a year ago, and it became more and more serious in the past two or three months. This may be an important clue, after all, the cause of his death is likely to be related to the dream, although this statement is very bizarre.

However, synthesizing these four pieces of information does not seem to be of any substantial help to the case, except that the possibility of Nie Hong murdering her husband is not high. Because the cause of death of the deceased is probably related to the dream, but what he saw in the dream, I do not know. However, just because I don't know doesn't mean no one knows, maybe I can get some more clues from Nie Hongkou. So I asked, "Did he tell you what he dreamed about?"

Nie Hong thought for a while before answering: "He told me about it, but he didn't say it in great detail. He just said that every dream was very real, so real that he couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality. After waking up, I can clearly remember what I dreamed about, as if it happened in reality, and even after waking up, I am still afraid of what I dreamed about."

I asked again: "Does he often have similar nightmares? Does he have dreams about special places, or about certain people?"

"No, he seems to have a different dream every time, whether it's a scene or a character. However, what he sees in his dreams is usually the places he frequents and the people around him. However, these nightmares seem to have one thing in common. , that is, every time he dreamed that someone was going to kill him, sometimes his colleagues, sometimes his relatives and friends, sometimes even me."

The things seen in the deceased's dream seem to originate from daily life and are not substantially helpful for the analysis of the case. But it's not all useless, because every time the deceased dreams that someone wants to kill him, this makes me think of an absurd idea. In order to confirm whether my thinking is correct, I have to ask Nie Hong one more question: "Did he dream that he was killed?"

After thinking for a moment, Nie Hong said, "It doesn't seem to be. I remember him saying that every time he dreamed that he was about to be killed, he would be shaken awake by me."

Her answer made me more sure of my absurd thought - the dead were not scared to death by dreams, but were "killed" in dreams!
