Chapter 50 Chapter 1 Lingering

people say life is like a dream I say dreams are like life a short moment you happy you excited a hasty one you sad you depressed Emperor's Dignity beggar's poverty snow on the mountain Treasures in the sea when you wake up from a dream Life has been rushing for decades, just like a dream, the difference is that some people have a dream, while some people have a nightmare.When you find that what you are doing is a nightmare, the best way is of course to wake yourself up as soon as possible.However, what if the dream is so real that it is no different from reality, so that people cannot distinguish between dreams and reality, and cannot wake up?

My surname is Mu, and my name is Shen Yu. I am a criminal policeman, and I belong to the special investigation team that deals with natural incidents—the mystery team.This time I want to tell the city about an incredible case, a case about "nightmare".This case started with Gao Weixiong's men... Early in the morning, my boss—Liang Zheng, the leader of the crime team, called me and woke me up with his loud voice comparable to a lion's roar: "Have you not woken up yet? How long do you want to sleep!" "I want to sleep until communism is realized..." I was still in a state of sleep, and I just wanted to continue to sleep after a few perfunctory words.

"I'll bury you, and you'll be able to sleep in communism." The boss said and started the lion's roar again: "Get me up and work immediately, a citizen died at home!" "One day, no one will die, boss! If someone dies, he should go to the funeral home. Why should he ask me?" Last night, he worked until midnight, and after a short sleep, he wanted to drag me to work, but there was no way! "If he died normally, don't you need to investigate? He died at home for no reason, and his facial expression was distorted, as if he was frightened to death by something terrible..." I didn't hear what the boss said afterwards, because I plugged the phone Go under the pillow and let him continue talking, while I continue to play chess with Duke Zhou.

However, not long after sleeping, I seemed to hear the sound of the door opening, the sound was not loud, it should be that the door was opened.I live alone, and I live in the police dormitory. No one seems to have the key to my house except Xiaona.However, Xiaona broke up with me a long time ago, and the key has been returned to me, so who will come in?It shouldn't be a thief, after all, this is also a police dormitory!Since he won't be a thief, then don't worry about him, it's more important to play chess with Duke Zhou. A moment later, I heard the door open again, this time clearly, and it was evident that the door had been opened.I suddenly felt a murderous look, as if the visitor was not kind, so I couldn't help but get nervous.I wanted to get up and see who was coming, but my body couldn't control me, and I couldn't even open my eyelids.I think it's probably a ghost press.

I am not afraid of the ghost press, because I know this is a normal physiological phenomenon.I heard from the wretched forensic doctor in Fleeting Years before that the ghost bed is not really pressed by ghosts on the bed. It is called "Nightmare" in medicine, and it can be regarded as a mild sleepwalking symptom.Its essence is just that part of the central nervous system of the brain has woken up, but the central nervous system that controls the muscles is still "struggling" with Zhou Gong, so there will be a situation where the body cannot be controlled, as if being pressed by some objects.

(The word "hands-on melon" in Cantonese means "wrist-wrestling" in Mandarin, because when the wrist is pulled, the arm muscles protrude like a melon, so there is such a saying. In addition, "hand-wringing melon" also has competition, The meaning of the contest.) Although I am not afraid of ghosts pressing the bed, but someone sneaked into my room, but I can't move, can I not be afraid?Just when he was worried about whether the other party came to seek revenge, a scent of female body penetrated into his nostrils, so he could judge that the person who came was definitely a woman.And it should be a relatively young girl, because I didn't smell the perfume, so the other party should not have makeup.It's okay if it's a girl, at least "die under the peony flower, even be a ghost".Once you are ready to die, you don't feel so afraid.

I couldn't open my eyes, and the loss of vision made my hearing sharper. I could hear every footstep of the other party very clearly.Her footsteps are very steady, she should be a person with a foundation in martial arts, maybe she can break my neck in one fell swoop.However, when she came to the bed, she didn't pinch my neck as I imagined, but pinched my face.She squeezed hard, but I still haven't woken up from the nightmare, and I still can't control my body. She seemed to think I was still in a deep sleep, and after being pinched, I could smell her scent clearly, and I knew she was bringing her face closer.There was a soft, wet touch on my cheek, and I felt her kiss me.I suddenly thought of who she is, she is my partner——Zhen Zhen.

The thought of her woke me up and opened my eyes immediately.However, when I saw the scene in front of me clearly, I found that Zhenzhen was standing by the bed, glaring at me, and said fiercely: "How long do you want to sleep!" Strange, didn't she bend down and kiss me just now?Why did she straighten her back as soon as she opened her eyes.Am I just dreaming?However, now is not the time to think about whether I was dreaming just now. She looks like she wants to eat me alive, so it's better to get up quickly. I sat up and stretched, yawned and said, "Good morning!"

"It's still early, it's almost nine o'clock, what a slob!" She stared wide-eyed, as if she wanted to hit me. In the past, she would definitely use her hands first and then her mouth, but since I kissed her that time, she has rarely used violence against me.However, "rarely" is compared to before. She will still beat me when she gets angry. If she doesn't want to be beaten, she has to change the subject as soon as possible: "How did you come into my house?" She waved a key in front of me: "I opened the door myself." "How do you have my house key?" I asked again.

"Boss gave it to me." "Oh, why did I forget that the boss has the key to my house." I scratched my head and reached out to her: "Give it back to me!" "No, or if I want to wake you up in the future, I will have to knock on the door for a long time like last time." She immediately put the key in her pocket. "You knocked on the door last time, that's called knocking down the door." She really almost knocked down the door last time. "Who told you to sleep like a pig, you can't wake up no matter what. Get up quickly, there is a case for us to investigate." She stared at me fiercely.

I sat on the bed and wrapped my body in a quilt. I didn't intend to get up for the time being. I just looked at her silently until she got impatient and said, "If you don't return the key to me, I won't be at ease." "Why, I won't steal from you." She gave me a disdainful look. "I'm not afraid of you stealing my things, I'm afraid you'll rape me while I'm asleep, just like I felt like someone kissed me just now." I pretended to be worried. "Go to hell!" This time she really hit me.As soon as I lifted my foot, it kicked my chest. Fortunately, I was still holding the quilt, otherwise I don't know if I would be kicked to vomit blood.After she kicked me, she said fiercely: "Get me up immediately, and follow me to investigate the case!" "Uh, actually I want to get up too, but I'll be embarrassed if you look at me." I pretended to be shy. "Tch, you have such a thick skin, you will sometimes feel embarrassed." She gave me another look. "If you don't mind, then I don't care..." I paused and said again: "I'm used to sleeping naked, and now I don't have any clothes on." "Pervert!" Her face turned red immediately, she immediately turned and walked out of the room, and closed the door. In fact, I don't have the habit of sleeping naked, I just deliberately teased her. After washing up briefly, Zhen Zhen and I went out and drove to the scene of the crime.On the way, she told me that a man named Gao Weixiong died in her home last night. The cause of death was very suspicious, so it was handed over to our crime team, and Fleeting Years had gone there before us to examine the body. The murder happened in one of the units on the 13th floor of a residential building. When we arrived, there were already many policemen dealing with the scene.In the living room, I saw several family members comforting a sobbing young woman, who seemed to be the wife of the deceased. The head of the police told me that the doctor was conducting an autopsy in the room, and told us the strangeness of this case: “According to the description of the deceased’s wife, the deceased came back very late last night. He died. Because his relatives and friends said that his body has always been in good health, it is impossible to die for no reason, and the possibility of homicide cannot be ruled out. However, we did not find any traces of homicide. It is impossible to know who died. But his facial expression is terrible, and it may be that he suffered great pain before his death." Later, he asked the deceased's boss, a fat real estate agent named Zhao Song, to accept our questioning, because he had been drinking outside with the deceased last night.Boss Zhao didn't know whether it was because he was frightened or for other reasons, his complexion didn't look good, and his words trembled a little, but he was a businessman who had seen big scenes, so he could still express himself clearly: "Last night I told you Xiao Gao and other guys went drinking together, and they didn’t go home until after two o’clock in the morning. Although he drank a lot at that time, he has always been a good drinker. Drinking beer, never using a glass, and can pour the whole bottle down in one gulp. Last night's drink was just a child's play for him. When we broke up with him, he was fine and could drive by himself Leave. However, Xiaohong called me early this morning to tell me that something happened to him." "When we arrived, the police hadn't arrived. He was lying on the bed as if he was asleep, but his body was already cold. And he looked terrible, as if he had been frightened to death by something terrible. However, the gate was not blocked. Prying marks, although the window is open, but this is the thirteenth floor, it is impossible for someone to climb in through the window." When he said this, Fleeing Nian came out of the room, so I threw a root at this wretched man Smoke, first ask him about the situation of the deceased. He blew out smoke and said, "No superficial scars were found, and it doesn't look like poisoning. The possibility of death from myocardial infarction is very high, but it can only be confirmed after an autopsy." "So he was scared to death?" I asked. "Well, there should be nothing wrong. According to his family, his body has always been very good, and there is no major problem. And the body has no external injuries, and it does not seem to be poisoned, although I am not 100% sure that he is dead. Myocardial infarction, but there is 99% certainty, and the autopsy is just for final confirmation." After he finished smoking, he took us into the room to investigate. As soon as he entered the room, he could see the deceased lying on the bed in the center of the room, wearing only underwear, and the quilt fell on the floor.When I got closer to observe it, I almost cried out in fright, because the facial expressions of the deceased were terrible, as if they were in great pain before death. "Is he really not injured or poisoned?" I have reservations about Fleeting Years' judgment. Liu Nian didn't show any displeasure at my doubts, but he was a little helpless: "I thought he died of poisoning, but after careful inspection, I found that it didn't look like poisoning. As for the trauma, I looked at him before and after." Neither was found." I took a closer look at the situation in the room, and found nothing unusual, and there was no blood on the bed sheet. The deceased did not seem to be killed by external force.So I asked, "Did he die from drugs or alcohol or something?" "No, I can prove that Xiao Gao has never tried drugs." Zhao Song interjected from the door, as if he had been eavesdropping on us all the time. "If it was an overdose of drugs, he would vomit before he died, but I didn't find any vomit in his mouth." Fleeting Year confirmed his statement. I discussed with Fleeting Nian for a while, and the deceased seemed to have no other cause of death other than being overly frightened to death.As an adult male, he shouldn't be so timid, and he would be scared to death at any sign of trouble.Moreover, the door was not broken, and the house was on the thirteenth floor. The only person who could scare him was his wife. It was hard to imagine that a little woman could scare a big man to death. Just as I was thinking about why the deceased was frightened to death, Yue Tong and the guys from the technical team came.After saying hello, we walked to the living room and asked them to collect evidence in the room. Because when the deceased died, his wife was the only one at the scene of the crime, so she was somewhat suspicious.So I asked her some questions.Although she couldn't cry, after a round of comfort from us and her family members, she finally answered my question: "My name is Nie Hong, and I have been married to Wei Xiong for almost a year..." Then she told me intermittently, what she said know things - I was already asleep when Wei Xiong came back last night, but he woke me up by making a lot of noise as soon as he entered the door.He usually does this often, so I ignored him and continued to sleep.However, after waking him up, I couldn't fall asleep, so I got up to go to the bathroom.When I went to the toilet, he washed his face in the toilet, because he didn't turn on the light, he was startled when he saw me, and scolded me a few words. I knew he was drunk, so I said a few words to him while going to the toilet, and then he was with me...in the toilet.After that, we went back to the room together. Although he was a little drunk at the time, he was not very drunk compared to before, at least he could walk by himself.After returning to the room, he fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed, and I didn't find anything wrong with him at the time. It was probably in the middle of the night when he suddenly yelled and woke me up.After we got married he had nightmares a lot and I thought he must be having nightmares again so I pushed him to wake him up.Before, I had to push him for a long time before he woke up, but last night I just pushed him twice and he stopped barking, and his body was extremely cold, like ice.Suddenly something was wrong with me, and I woke up all of a sudden, and immediately got up and shook his shoulder.However, no matter how I shake it, he still doesn't respond... Judging from Nie Hong's narrative, the deceased seemed to be frightened to death in a dream.But is this possible?Just when I was wondering about this, the conversation between a man and Zhao Song caught my attention: "Boss, do you think it might be that Song's lingering ghost, who made Xiao Gao..."
