Detective Files II

Chapter 257 Nightmare
Back home, the two brothers and sisters had a tacit understanding and neither of them talked about Lu Xiangdong anymore, because they all knew how much Mother Tian attached importance to the troubles in the relationship between the two children. No one wants to be interrogated by their mother about their love affair after being tired outside every day.

After the delayed dinner, the family of four sat together and chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Tian Mi took a hot bath to wash away her exhaustion. She sat on the bed, dried her wet hair, and watched the news on the computer. Fell asleep on the pillow.

She didn't sleep at all comfortably, frowning from time to time in her sleep, her body trembling, as if she was going through something terrible.

In fact, she was indeed in a chilling dream.

In the dream, she was walking alone on a small path that she didn't know where it was leading to. There was no sound, no lights, only boundless darkness surrounded her, and the silence around her was a bit eerie, and she couldn't even hear her own footsteps.

Tian Mi didn't know where the front was leading, but she only knew that the darkness and silence around her made her panic. The only way was to hurry forward, hoping to get out of the darkness and go under the reassuring light.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder, and she turned her head abruptly. This time, what she saw was not Tian Yang's familiar face.

It's Yang Yuanfan.

That pale face with a wicked sneer seemed to be imprinted in Tian Mi's heart, making her never forget it no matter what, and she could recognize it immediately just by looking at it.

Seeing him, Tian Mi was startled, and quickly took a few steps back.

"See where you're going this time!" Yang Yuanfan's voice was colder than his smile, and his eyes shone with excitement.

Tian Mi's mind was running fast, thinking about how she should respond if Yang Yuanfan rushed over.

Suddenly, she felt itchy on her back, as if something was moving, and before she could turn her head to look, her arm had been pulled by someone, and when she lowered her head, countless black arms stretched out from the darkness behind her. Pulling her arms, some pulling her legs, some even slowly running along her back, climbing up her neck like a snake, slowly choking her, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Tian Mi wanted to struggle, but she exhausted all her strength, but her hands and feet were still limp, unable to come out at all, she could only watch helplessly as Yang Yuanfan's face approached her, getting closer and closer, and a pair of pale hands stretched out to her. Own.

She had the urge to scream, but no sound came out of her throat.

Just when Yang Yuanfan's hand almost touched her body, Tian Mi suddenly woke up from the dream, opened her eyes, and the room was pitch black, maybe her parents had been there, seeing her falling asleep, they helped turn off the light.

Tian Mi's body was shivering under the quilt, her hands and feet were cold, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Sit up, turn on the desk lamp, the bright room made her feel a little more at ease, Tian Mi unconsciously fiddled with the cell phone next to the pillow, a little restless.

That dream was not very real, but Yang Yuanfan's appearance in the dream was real, just like before.

Is this the first time I've had a nightmare in this period of time?Tian Mi hugged her body and huddled into a ball, unable to answer. Since the previous serial rape and murder case was solved, she has been entangled in similar dreams from time to time. When she woke up, she was trembling all over, and her heart was full of fear.

But she didn't tell anyone about this, because she knew that speaking out would only increase the worries of relatives and colleagues.

Why did I dream of Yang Yuanfan again tonight?Maybe it was because the street lights outside the community were suddenly repaired, or maybe it was because Tian Yang just wanted to say hello to him from behind, so that bad memory was unintentionally brought back.

If Lu Xiangdong sent him back tonight, would he be able to avoid this nightmare?Tian Mi thought faintly.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Lu Xiangdong's backlash when he got off work, and the scene of leaving himself on the side of the road and driving away in the car.

Don't be stupid, how can you place your hopes on him? Let's not talk about how weird this man's personality is and how difficult it is to get along with. No blame for his position.

He is not someone to me.Tian Mi thought sourly.

beep--.

In the silent night, even the slightest beep could be heard. Tian Mi's attention was attracted by the slight sound, and suddenly she found that when she was thinking wildly, she unconsciously called out Lu Xiangdong's number. After dialing, Tian Mi was startled, hung up in a hurry, stuffed the phone under the pillow, her heart was pounding in her chest.

He's not going to call back, is he?Tian Mi secretly guessed.

Time passed bit by bit, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour, an hour.

Tian Mi's words turned in her mind countless times, her mood changed from apprehension to disappointment, and her sanity from sanity to bewilderment. Finally, in the soft light of the desk lamp, she fell asleep again, with one hand still under the pillow, touching the phone.

Waking up the next morning, Tian Mi was a little listless, Tian Yang poked her on the dining table while eating breakfast, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well." Tian Mi said in a general way.

"Did you read some case file before going to bed? Or, did you watch some horror movie on the Internet again?" Father Tian shook his head disapprovingly, "I think about it every day and dream at night. Don't watch something with bad stimuli!"

"Got it! I'll pay attention in the future!" Tian Mi agreed coquettishly, and went out to work with Tian Yang after breakfast.

"What's the matter? Are you scared by the case of Wu Liang and his son?" Tian Yang asked when he was out of the house. He was also afraid that Tian Mi would really not be able to bear the situation of dismembered corpses and internal organs being put in the restaurant freezer. Although she is also a policeman, she is still a woman in terms of gender, and her endurance is not unlimited.

Tian Mi shook her head: "No, it's not the first time I've encountered the dismemberment case. I'm not that fragile. I'm fine. Don't ask."

Not only did her words not reassure Tian Yang, but it made him pay more attention to it. His younger sister knows best. If it is really not a big deal, she would have joked with him in real and false ways. The more this girl If nothing happened is reassuring, it means that this incident has a greater impact on her.

"Did I... Did I scare you last night?" Tian Yang sensitively connected the experience of the previous night with what happened before.

Tian Mi remained silent.

"It's all my fault! I should have called you from far away!" Tian Yang was extremely annoyed, and hugged Tian Mi's shoulder distressedly, "This is my brother's fault! I didn't think it through!"

"Don't be smug! How can you have such a big influence!" Tian Mi joked, and Zhao Tianyang punched her chest, "It's fine! I'm not a porcelain doll, it's fine!"

Tian Yang still wanted to say something, looked at Tian Mi's expression, nodded, and did not continue to talk about this topic.

Because Tian Mi had already made preparations for taking Nian Yongjun to Hu Yang's psychological clinic the day before, so there was not much to do after arriving at the Public Security Bureau in the morning, because Hu Yang was Nian Yongjun's psychological counselor for many years. As a layman, the detectives were not at ease about the hypnosis process of these two people, so they always thought that it was most appropriate for Lu Xiangdong and Tian Mi to go together.

Therefore, Tian Mi arrived at the serious crime team early in the morning, and the most important thing to do was to wait for Lu Xiangdong.

Usually Lu Xiangdong always arrives very early, but today he didn't come after waiting. Tian Mi wanted to call him several times to inquire about the situation, took out the phone and put it down again.

"Why don't I wait for him, and go with me with someone else!" After waiting for a long time, she asked Tian Yang and Mo Dou impatiently.

Mo Dou also lost his mind: "Then how about I go with Tian Mi?"

"You go?" Tian Yang is not optimistic about this suggestion at all, "What if Hu Yang and Nian Yongjun take advantage of each other's tacit understanding and sing together to remove the suspicion for Nian Yongjun? Can you tell whether the two of them are lying?"

"I'm not a lie detector, so of course I can't tell." Mo Dou also realized that he had no way to replace Lu Xiangdong, "Then I'll call Dr. Lu and see if he's stuck in traffic or just temporarily What's up!"

Mo Dou wanted to make a call, Tian Mi naturally couldn't stop him, so he picked up the phone and dialed Lu Xiangdong's number.

A series of bells came from the corridor outside the door, from far to near, before Mo Dou put down the phone, Lu Xiangdong opened the door and walked in

He looked like he didn't get enough sleep, and looked tired. After entering the door, he nodded to Tian Yang and Mo Dou hastily as a greeting, and cast his eyes on Tian Mi: "Let's go to Populus euphratica."

Tian Mi went to inform other colleagues to drive Nian Yongjun, and she and Lu Xiangdong got into another car.

"The next time you don't have trouble on time, be more conscious and call to inform, don't let others wait for you." Tian Mi's words were a little savage, as if she wanted to get angry.

Lu Xiangdong glanced at her and asked, "Are you in a hurry? Then don't you know how to call me?"

"That's so embarrassing, who knows what big business you are busy with." Tian Mi pushed back with some resentment.

"You had the nerve to call me last night, why are you so polite this early in the morning?"

After hearing what he said, Tian Mi felt a burst of embarrassment immediately, and coughed lightly: "Oh, you mean last night, when I wanted to call someone, I bumped into it by accident, so I didn't want to call you."

At this time, Lu Xiangdong suddenly became more serious. He immediately took out his mobile phone and glanced at it: "It's [-]:[-] in the morning. I really can't think of who you want to call at this time."

"Is it okay to call Anchangpu?!" Tian Mi blurted out, this was the best excuse she could find, "There is a time difference between his side and China! I purposely stayed up until midnight so that I could call him, how about it?" ? Can't it?!"

Lu Xiangdong glanced at Tian Mi, said nothing, put his phone aside, and continued to concentrate on driving without saying a word.

Tian Mi also turned her face out of the window.

The two cars drove towards Hu Yang's psychological clinic one after the other.
