"Actually, the purpose of my coming here today is to talk to Chen Junyang and find out the truth about that year. Lin Lu's incident was really just a coincidence."
Turning the recorder in his hand, Su Xing continued to speak.
"I'm afraid it's difficult to use a voice recorder as evidence of conviction. Captain Wan, if you are going to search the scene again, please take me with you. I may be able to help you find clues in the basement."
When Su Xing mentioned the basement, Wan Bin, who was sitting next to him, suddenly looked confused. A little puzzled but also a little shocked.
"Basement?! What basement? You mean the first crime scene was in the basement? But there was no basement in the house we searched!"
Wan Bin's reaction made Su Xing frown slightly.
How is it possible that there is a basement? That night in the strange world, Su Xing clearly saw Chen Junyang entering the basement with a broken beer bottle, and then he dragged Chen Xin's body out.
If the police didn't know about the existence of the basement at that time, then it makes sense that they couldn't find any evidence.
But how could we not see such a big iron door in the basement?
Lost basement?
Wait, let me think about it carefully. The basement clearly exists in Chen Xin's memory. When Chen Xin entered the weird world for the first time, Chen Xin also appeared in the basement, and every time Chen Xin was pulled into the weird world, leading to The real exits are in the basement.
So this is a place that is very important to her and cannot be made up.
If it really exists, how can it not be found?
Think back again, the strange world that Chen Xin was pulled into, the blocked door, the place where the door should have been was blocked by a red brick wall, the lost exit...
Suddenly, Su Xing thought of something, and he suddenly understood what those weird visions in the weird world represented.
A reflection of the real world, every weirdness has its reason, so that basement was re-sealed with bricks!
From the outside, there is only a thick wall where the door should be.
"We searched that house many times and never found any basement. Su Xing, how did you know?"
Su Xing, who was deep in thought, was brought back to reality by Wan Bin's question.
"Chen Junyang said it himself." Su Xing did not express his inference, because no one would believe this kind of logical relationship in the strange world.
Even if you want others to believe it, you may have to repeatedly reason and confirm it, or even look for evidence.
If it's such a troublesome thing, it's better to just blame it on the suspect and say it was him who told the story.
Su Xing doesn't need to prove himself through these things, and he doesn't need others to think he is smart.
"He killed Chen Xin in the basement, chopped off both of her feet, and scratched her face. After burying the body, he sealed the only entrance to the basement with bricks and painted a cement wall. Ash makes the people outside look flawless.”
Listening to Su Xing's description, Wan Bin was so shocked that he was speechless.
"But...how is this possible?"
"Of course it's possible!" Su Xing continued.
"Think about it carefully, between Chen Xin's so-called disappearance and Chen Junyang's surrender, was it half a month or a month? Of course he could do this in such a long time."
"But Chen Junyang is just a mental patient. Can a person with mental problems really be so thoughtful and do this without anyone noticing?" Wan Bin somewhat believed what Su Xing said. Yes, but he still retained the last trace of doubt.
After all, even an ordinary person might not be able to do this kind of thing so perfectly.
Su Xing shook his head slightly, turned to look at the depressing scenery outside the window and slowly exhaled a breath.
“It’s because he’s a mentally ill person that he’s able to do this because you never know where a mentally ill person will develop paranoia.
You don’t know what kind of maze they are trapped in, and what kind of things they will become almost crazy stubborn about..."
Su Xing stared out the window, his eyes looking far away, as if through the steel jungle of the city.
The dark clouds that had accumulated over Luoxia City finally began to rain again. This time, it was not as unexpected as last night.
Fine raindrops fell on the car window and then slowly slid down.
Wan Bin sat in the driving position from the back of the car and started the car. He decided to send the young psychologist back in person.
Neither of the two people in the car spoke anymore, but remained silent for a long time. Neither of them knew what the other was thinking at this time, nor did they try to guess.
To wake up is to simply empty your mind and deliberately stop thinking about those tedious things.
The not-so-soft back seat made Su Xing a little tired. He had had a wonderful few days, but it also left him with no time to take a good rest. As a result, he felt uncontrollably sleepy as soon as he relaxed.
His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. At this moment, he just wanted to feel the vibration of the car engine and the slight bump of the tires pressing against the gravel on the road.
…
Am I... dreaming?
Waking up in the darkness, I climbed up from a lake as flat as a mirror. There was water under my feet, but I could stand on it.
In the reflection, he looked like himself, but the clothes he wore were a little strange.
I have never bought this outfit before.
But this is in a dream, so it’s not strange to wake up. The brain will always put some things together irregularly, and then try to rationalize it.
Between the empty darkness and the lake is an old-fashioned clock, which keeps ticking.
"Why do you keep having these strange dreams these past two days?"
If you are trapped in a dream, you may not feel the strangeness around you, but now that you are awake, you clearly know that you are dreaming, so the combination of all this seems so weird.
"Is it because I think about it day by day and dream about it at night, or is there something else strange that breaks into my dream? Well, who cares, I just know that I'm very tired now."
He woke up in a large shape and lay on the water again.
Closing your eyes and relaxing during a dream can prevent 99% of nightmares.
"You...why don't you cry? I can feel that you should be sad more than all of us."
It's Chen Xin's voice again, and it's those words with unclear meaning. It seems like this isn't the first time I've dreamed of Chen Xin saying these words, right?
What does it mean? Am I more deserving of sadness than everyone else? Why should I be sad?
There was another voice coming from the darkness.
"Is this really what a normal person should be able to do if a person has no fear and does not understand sadness? Su Xing, why have you never shed a tear since you were a child?"
"Su Xing, you have no parents or relatives, so why is your name Su Xing? Where exactly does this name require you to wake up?"
"Your memory..."
Da da da da——
The sound of the old clock mixed with the disembodied sounds made Su Xing a little upset.
"wake?"
"Wake up? Wake up, we're here."
"Wake up? Wake up!"
Being called his name over and over again, I felt like my head was going to explode when I woke up, and that migraine feeling seemed to be coming back again.
"boss--!!!!!"
The crisp female voice finally pulled him out of his deep dream.
Su Xing got up from the back seat of the police car and looked around in confusion.
When he saw the sign of his clinic and the snow-white skin of his assistant Shanshan right in front of him, he remembered that he was home.
"Boss! I almost thought you fell asleep. I called you many times and you didn't wake up."
The smell of rain and moist earth in the air gradually wakes up and shakes off the drowsiness of the brain.
"The little girl is so noisy. Go copy the contents of the recorder and give it to Captain Wan."
Because I was afraid that this little girl would say something shocking later, I handed her the voice recorder in my bag and quickly sent her away.
Seeing Zhang Shanshan leave, Captain Wan nodded slightly towards Su Xing and spoke slowly.
"I remember what you said. After Lin Lu's matter here has been dealt with, we will start working on Chen Xin's case as soon as possible. I will notify you as soon as there is any progress."
"Okay." Su Xing agreed.
When I returned to the clinic, the first thing I did when I woke up was to wash my face with cold water and then started my own work.
