The Apocalypse Begins with a Nightmare

Chapter 38: New discoveries

It's still the same car.

It’s still that driver.

The difference is that this time, Lin Mo chatted with the driver all the way.

Lin Mo was not like this before.

Essentially, Lin Mo is an introvert. He is not good at communicating with others, otherwise he would not have opened a game studio and played games all day long.

But after experiencing several nightmare worlds, he felt much more cheerful than before.

He never felt so good chatting with people before.

Because they had been there once yesterday, the driver was familiar with the route this time and took Lin Mo to the outside of Chu Yu's villa.

This time, Lin Mo did not ask the driver to turn off the engine. He ran out of the car alone and stuffed the letter he had prepared long ago into the crack of the door.

A lady walking her dog happened to pass by. When she saw Lin Mo acting stealthily, she froze in place, and it seemed that she was about to take out her cell phone.

"Auntie, I'm not a thief, please don't misunderstand me."

Lin Mo waved at the other party.

Then he pointed to the car next to him, meaning that I have such a good car and I won't do anything sneaky.

The old lady said nothing.

Lin Mo assumed that she knew and immediately got in the car and left.

"I didn't expect it to go so wrong." Lin Mo laughed awkwardly in the car. The driver whispered, "Actually, Expert Lin, you can just tell them directly. Although there are confidentiality regulations, you can knock on the side. There's no need to be sneaky."

This is what normal people think.

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head.

The driver didn't understand the situation.

Lin Mo had considered this matter. Even if there was no confidentiality agreement, Lin Mo could not reveal the truth to Chu Yu's parents.

As a parent, it must be very painful to know that your daughter has turned into an evil spirit.

It would be better to just write the letters on their behalf, which would make them feel better.

I believe Xiaoyu means the same thing.

After all, life and death separate us, and it is enough to know that each of us is well.

That’s what Lin Mo thought.

"Expert Lin, where are we going next?"

The driver was familiar with Lin Mo and asked at this time.

"Sanqiao Branch, I just want to chat with Director Xu." Lin Mo leaned back in his chair. He planned to ask about the progress of the investigation into Xiaoyu's case.

Hu Lingling, the person who played the pen fairy with Xiaoyu, is already dead.

There are also Luo Xiang and An Linsheng, these two people must know the inside story.

As soon as he arrived downstairs at the Sanqiao Branch, Lin Mo's phone rang. He picked it up and was delighted.

"Director Xu, how did you know I was downstairs at your branch? Ah, I don't know. You were telling me about the case. Okay, don't come down. I know the way. I'll go upstairs to find you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo walked into the police station with ease.

There was a young policeman inside who saw Lin Mo going upstairs without even saying hello and was about to question him, but a colleague nearby immediately stopped him.

"This is our Director Xu's friend. He's quite famous. He seems to be from some special security bureau."

"What did you say, Special Security?"

The young policeman was stunned, unable to hide the shock on his face.

The female police officer immediately became curious.

"Brother Wang, do you know the Special Security Bureau? What kind of department is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

The young policeman called Brother Wang looked around guiltily at this time, and then whispered: "It's normal that you don't know. In fact, I also heard someone say that this department is directly under the management of the top boss, and the authority is extremely great."

"So, what do they do?"

"This, this I don't know." Brother Wang shook his head.

"Do you think it might be because of the recent scary case?" the female police officer asked in a low voice.

Brother Wang obviously knew what she meant by the 'scary case'.

"It's possible. Yesterday, another person died. The cause of death was horrific. Just like the previous victims, there were no wounds, and no poison was detected in the body. But the person just died like that. Isn't that strange? Moreover, the dead person's facial features were so hideous that it was unbearable to look at them. It was as if he had seen something horrible before he died."

"Brother Wang, don't scare me. I'm timid."

"As police officers, how can we be afraid of this? However, this case is indeed strange and we have no clues. The criminal police team is now extremely anxious. Some of them have not slept for two days and two nights."

After a pause, Brother Wang lowered his voice and said, "Of course, it's not completely fruitless. I heard that an encrypted video was found in the computers of the deceased. The technical department is cracking it, and I believe we should be able to find something."

"Expert Lin, I just called you and you're here. It seems like we have such a good rapport. Haha." Director Xu made a joke in the office.

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, I was just passing by and wanted to come over for a cup of tea."

"Welcome. Expert Lin is always welcome to come and give us guidance." Director Xu made some tea and then got down to business.

When it came to business, Director Xu became much more serious.

"In the case of the accidental death of female college student Chu Yu, I sent people to investigate and questioned the person involved, Luo Xiang. I didn't expect that this guy would confess directly when he saw us."

Director Xu handed over a file.

"This is Luo Xiang's confession. They planned it in advance to scare the female college student, but they ended up making things worse and an accident happened."

Lin Mo looked through the confession and was quite surprised.

I didn't expect it to be so easy.

Wait, something must be wrong. Logically, the other party shouldn't reveal the truth so easily.

The file only records information related to the case, such as how Luo Xiang and his friends colluded to set up a trap to scare Chu Yu, including the plan to film her embarrassment and post it online.

This kind of thing is at most manslaughter.

Lin Mo directly asked the doubts in his heart, that is, why Luo Xiang confessed so readily.

"We are also very curious. By the way, here is the recording of that time. Expert Lin, you can listen to it." Director Xu asked someone to bring a recorder, and then played the recording of that time.

In the recording, a man's voice, with fatigue and a hint of fear, narrated what happened.

This voice should be Luo Xiang.

During this process, he repeatedly mentioned one thing.

He's been having nightmares lately.

Lin Mo is now very sensitive to the word "nightmare" and his attention is immediately drawn to it.

Luo Xiang said in the recording that he had been dreaming about that scene recently, and Chu Yu, who had fallen to death, stood up from a pool of blood and stared at him covered in blood.

It would be fine if it happened just once, but he had the same dream for several days in a row. Luo Xiang was about to collapse. He was sure that Chu Yu was unwilling to die and was looking for him to kill her.

So after the police found him, his psychological defenses collapsed and he told everything.

In this case, the police will notify the victim's family and should file a lawsuit, after all, manslaughter is also a crime.

Lin Mo doesn't need to pay attention to Luo Xiang's affairs for the time being.

What he cared about was why the other person had the same nightmare repeatedly.

It's definitely not a nightmare world.

If so, Luo Xiang is already dead.

And it’s not that the other party feels ashamed, otherwise he wouldn’t have done it last night. Why did he do it in the last few days

In the last few days

Lin Mo's mind moved and he thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that it has something to do with Xiaoyu's appearance in the nightmare world?"

Xiaoyu appeared in the nightmare world in the form of a nightmare a few days ago. Coincidentally, Luo Xiang also started dreaming at that time.

What a coincidence.

Lin Mo boldly guessed that the nightmare Luo Xiang had must have been affected by Xiaoyu.

What about An Linsheng, the other person involved back then? Is he the same as Luo Xiang

Lin Mo asked about An Linsheng's situation, and Director Xu nodded: "This An Linsheng is currently active in another province. We have contacted the local police department to cooperate in the investigation. I believe that there will be news coming back soon."

Lin Mo understood that this was already very efficient.

If it were me, it would take a lot of time to investigate such a thing, but now, I can easily do it with the help of the police system.

Having asked all the questions that needed to be asked, Lin Mo prepared to leave.

Just at this moment, the phone on Director Xu's desk rang.

"I'll take a call." Director Xu said, picked up the phone, and after listening for a while, his face changed immediately.

"What? What did you say?"

Lin Mo was a little surprised. He had been in contact with Director Xu and knew that the other party was a veteran with strong psychological quality and was very stable.

But now, Director Xu's shock was definitely not fake.

Lin Mo asked and found out that someone had died.

The dead person was a policeman.

And it’s in the Sanqiao Branch.

No wonder Director Xu was so shocked.

"Police officers are under a lot of pressure when investigating cases and don't get enough rest. I've heard of cases of sudden death before, but I didn't expect to encounter one today."

Lin Mo quickly stood up and said goodbye. After all, such a big thing had happened over there and they must be busy, so it would not be appropriate for him to stay there alone.

Director Xu directly grabbed Lin Mo.

"Expert Lin, I'm afraid you have to come with me to take a look at this matter."
