The silence of the night and the silent indulgence are the accomplices of criminals.
The women who walked out of the dream world had no time to be surprised and frightened. They were all locked into the carriages that would not see the light of day. What awaited them would be inhumane sales and gifts.
Chen Mu remembered that Wang Tingzhi said that Zhou Jianan had done shameful things for Wang Nian. Combined with the secret of his regular appearance at Hushan Pier, what he had done was obvious.
Furthermore, in the world of the Blood Spirit Clan, the saying "I will be uneasy if you don't die" can almost be concluded that the person who murdered Zhou Jianan was Wang Nian.
At least, it has nothing to do with Wang Nian.
Regardless of whether Zhou Jianan left because of his conscience or was fired by his boss because of poor performance, he would not be easy if he knew that his boss had too many tricks.
Wang Nian is not a dream master, and the one who is most likely to take action should be his subordinate Luo Song.
Chen Mu recorded the whole thing he saw, hesitated a little, and made an anonymous call.
"This is the Bureau of Unnatural Phenomenon. How can I help you?"
"I have something to report to your bureau. At about three o'clock in the morning, someone entered the constant dream world at Hushan Pier and committed human trafficking in the dream world."
"Please wait a moment, we will immediately notify the local police station to assist in the investigation."
Chen Mu didn't wait. After he finished speaking, he immediately cut off the call.
Jiang Nan looked confused when he heard this. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Boss, did you use your ID card to make an anonymous call?"
"uh-huh?"
"I heard the teacher in the espionage class said that anonymous calls made with ID cards can be traced by the imperial security agency."
"I know, this is a kind of sincerity, otherwise they wouldn't be interested, as long as there is no third party eavesdropping."
Jiang Nan's face turned even more ugly, and he pursed his lips and sobbed: "Then there is a possibility that I will be regarded as a suspect. This body is too obvious."
"Tomorrow morning you go to the Non-Nature Bureau to register and change the photo on the ID card with the fingerprints and so on."
"Isn't that just throwing yourself into a trap?"
"The same goes for going to immigration."
“Immigration is too far away.”
"I'll lend you my car."
"I can't drive."
Chen Mu was stunned and said helplessly: "I will send you off tomorrow and come back to take the driver's license test. This is a basic life skill. The sooner you learn it, the better."
"I won't use the driving school for now. I'll wait until I have money to buy a car."
"I can give you a salary advance. If you don't want to, I will find another assistant."
"Huh? No, I'll learn. I'll apply for driving school tomorrow."
While the two were talking, a pair of men in black came to investigate. Chen Mu signaled the girl to be silent. His index finger floated half an inch above the car's fingerprint unlock, ready to start at any time.
"This car is nice, but the surveillance camera can't see it. Do you want to pry it?"
"No, I remember that there didn't seem to be this car here when I came here."
Two men in black looked outside the car window and hesitated. Suddenly, the intercom on their waist rang: "There is something unusual in the police station, evacuate immediately."
The man in black heard the sound and ran away. Chen Mu and Chen Mu's anxious hearts just relaxed and became more solemn.
"Boss, you just reported it, and they already know it. There must be an insider involved."
"Maybe they have someone guarding outside the police station?"
Having said that, Chen Mu already agreed with Jiang Nan's guess. The more he thought about it, the more troublesome it became. He found that he seemed to be trapped in a deeper conspiracy.
"Boss, it suddenly occurred to me that those people's memories have been changed. If they are really caught by the police, is it still considered evidence?"
"Of course the traffickers will insist that those people entered the dream voluntarily, and may even say that they kindly rescued them because the dream world collapsed."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean there's no evidence?"
"In any case, their behavior has seriously violated the laws of the empire and the rules of practice for dream practitioners, and they cannot escape punishment."
"Such people should be shot, but ordinary punishment is too easy for them."
"Our suspicions haven't been cleared yet, how can we control so much? Go back and send the video to the police station. They have Zhou Jianan's case, and they are all professional criminal investigators. They will automatically find out that Wang Nian killed someone, silenced him, and framed him. in conclusion."
"I know this is called a subconscious inference of guilt. Coupled with the video and other clues, the evidence is conclusive."
"Whether it's a presumption of guilt or a preemptive strike, our suspicion can be reduced to some extent."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan understood that the crime of human trafficking and Zhou Jianan's death were two different things. No matter how convinced Wang Nian's crime was, what did it have to do with them getting rid of suspicion?
Wang Nian and his party were already far away, and the police vehicles had not yet arrived. Chen Mu did not wait any longer and started driving in the direction of dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on the earth, it was already around six o'clock. In the most prosperous area of Songjiang, the noisy sound of vehicles gradually began to appear, and the building of AutoNavi Human Resources Group stood brightly among the business buildings.
In the chairman's office suite on the 88th floor, Wang Qing was busy studying the salary reform plan until late at night. Early in the morning, he walked out of the inner bedroom with the help of a life assistant. His skin is dark and wrinkled, his face is thin, and his tired eyes are not in good spirits.
He was woken up, and his personal secretary was already in the main hall. He is tall and tall, wearing a uniform, and has a handsome face. He looks more like a bodyguard. The most obvious feature is a black mole at the corner of his eye.
"Vice President, our people intercepted this early in the morning. You'd better take a look."
Wang Qing took the tablet noncommittally. When he saw the content clearly, his face turned ugly and he waved all the assistants out.
"How is this going?"
"According to my investigation, the person who sent this video is named Chen Mu, a senior student at Far Eastern University of Political Science and Law..."
"I'm asking about this video."
Wang Qing interrupted the secretary's lengthy summary with dissatisfaction and asked with his gray eyebrows furrowed.
"The video should not be fake. The young master has opened an employment agency. It is said that it targets the helpless people who are desperate. In fact, he is secretly involved with some illegal gangs and uses it to trade women in the dream world. "
Wang Qing was furious: "How dare you do such evil? What about the traitor?"
"I started squatting in the dream world two months ago and went to sea early this morning."
"Hmph! I see that he is afraid of crime and absconding."
"Vice President, what about this?"
"That's it for now, go ahead and do it."
"Vice President, I'm afraid this situation is different from previous times. Chen Mu was previously arrested for causing death due to improper treatment, and it was the President who released him on bail."
Wang Qing raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said in deep thought: "It seems that we have to pull him out first?"

After working all night, Chen Mu returned to the dream interpretation room, ate breakfast and fell asleep. In the dream, he finally mastered the control of dream power to 500 ways.
In the afternoon, the police came to wake him up.
"You stole someone last night, are you still sleeping now?"
Yang Hao walked in, complained about the long wait, and then sat on the sofa carelessly.
"Why are you here? Is there any progress in the case?"
Chen Mu hadn't washed up yet, so he poured two cups of hot water and sat across from the coffee table.
"Great news, do you want to hear it?"
"My suspicion has been cleared?"
"Not only that, the murderer was also found. He was a dream master who illegally solicited customers. He admitted that it was his mistake that caused Zhou Jianan's confusion, so that he fell into a dream world and could not escape, and finally died unexpectedly."
Chen Mu thought: This seems to be very different from what he thought.
"Isn't the murderer named Luo Song?"
"Did you find out? Not bad, he has the potential to be a detective. This person did business privately without passing the dream master's qualification examination. If Zhou Jianan hadn't still been living in the dream world, he would have been sentenced to at least ten years."
"How did you catch him?"
"It was the clue provided by Ouyang Yuan, the vice-president and secretary of the Songjiang Dream Masters Guild. They found someone pretending to be a guild member and trading on the black market. They found out that it was Luo Song who did it, so they reported the case to the police. During the interrogation, he told everything Everything has been explained, including Zhou Jianan’s matter.”
After hearing this, Chen Mu had no expression on his face and felt a little heavy. He roughly guessed that someone was there to cover for Wang Nian, and Luo Song just took the blame.
"Hey! Why do you look unhappy after being acquitted? You don't have masochistic tendencies, do you?"
"Let me ask you, did you go to Hushan Pier last night?"
"I went there, and I didn't know it was that bastard's prank. He actually said there was a dream world there."
"Isn't there a video?"
"What video?"
Yang Hao looked confused, always feeling that his old classmate was acting weird today.
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, the other party's energy was beyond his ability to cope.
"Boss, are there any guests?"
Being awakened from his deep sleep, Jiang Nan walked out of the room in a daze, with messy hair and big eyes, wearing a long white shirt. He forced his sober voice to interrupt the conversation between the two in the living room.
Yang Hao looked up, his eyes filled with surprise, and he said in disbelief: "Where did you find such a top-notch beauty? Not bad, no wonder a dream interpreter is willing to fall."
Seeing the person clearly, Jiang Nan's eyes flashed and he thought of something, and said enthusiastically: "Officer Yang? Officer Yang, hello, I am Jiang Nan. We met yesterday."
"Huh? Is it you? No way?"
"My boss can prove it, right, boss?"
Chen Mu did not respond to Jiang Nan, nor did he pay attention to Yang Hao's joke. He thought to himself: Since the other party found someone to take the blame and did not forget to put him aside, he must have wanted to reconcile. If he digs deeper, he is ignorant of current affairs.

Southeast of the Dream City, on the clear East China Sea, a luxury cruise ship is cruising along the waves. In the luxurious hall, there is feasting and feasting.
In a certain suite, a half-dressed Wang Nian sat on the sofa and waited anxiously. There was anger and severity in his eyes, which made people shudder.
He had been sitting like this for an hour when Wang Qing suddenly sent someone to take away his right-hand man. Only later did he find out that it was to scapegoat him.
After an unknown amount of time, the crystal tablet in front of him showed an incoming call.
"Have you checked it out?"
After being connected, Wang Nian asked immediately. The person across from him had his eyes flinched, as if he was making a difficult decision.
"Ouyang Yuan, do you still want to do it?"
"Master, please calm down. The vice president just told you to stop right now?"
"Stop? How can I stop? He stole my prey, cut off my left and right arms, and stained me all over. How can I stop? Tell me, who is he?"
"This person's name is Chen Mu. He is just a senior student of Far Eastern Political Science and Law, but he is also a second-level dream interpreter. Previously, Zhou Jian'an was brain-dead due to a wrong operation. He somehow knew about the dream world of Hushan Wharf, so he planned this plan."
"What a Chen Mu, what a framer. That traitor was really punished thoroughly. Do you think he will be exempted from guilt if he dies? Find out where his wife and daughter live."
"Master, Zhou Jianan is not to blame for this, he is also innocent."
"You don't need to tell me what to do. Find out the details about Chen Mu. I'll make him regret messing with me."
Perhaps it was because he knew his persuasion was ineffective, but this time Ouyang Yuan did not refute, and hung up the phone after making a respectful assurance.
Wang Nian was still angry. The door was opened, and a man in black came forward to report.
"Master, the captain is looking for you. He seems to be in a bad mood."
Wang Nian's heart sank. Of course he knew that the captain was in a bad mood, and all this was caused by the student.
