Chapter 52 Chapter 3 Unknown Creatures

Is it possible for a person to be killed in a dream?Although I dare not say that it is absolutely impossible, at least I have never heard of it.The boss obviously has never heard of such absurd things, so of course after I reported the case to him, he started to scold: "Aren't you still awake! There is no such thing in this world." "I also find it incredible, but other than that, I really can't think of any other explanation." I told him that the initial autopsy did not reveal any signs of trauma or poisoning. The boss glared at me and said angrily: "Even if the deceased was not poisoned or traumatized, you can't just say that he was killed in a dream. If you want to be lazy, you have to find a reliable explanation for me!"

I put on a serious look, and said seriously: "I didn't make this up. Similar things happened before. For example, the part where Wei Zhengmeng killed the old dragon is very similar to this case." "Do you think I haven't seen it?" The boss glared at me viciously. "That paragraph said that when Wei Zheng was playing chess with Li Shimin, he dozed off and killed the old dragon. That's the 'dream killing' and this case. There is an essential difference between 'killed in a dream'. And it is just a legend, can it be written in the report?"

Seeing that I couldn't fool the boss, I had no choice but to say: "Then I will find some cases that can be written in the report now." "Stop pretending to me, it's impossible for you not to notice that Zhao Song has a problem with Huang Zhao." This old fox is quite smart. "Zhao Song doesn't seem to want to cooperate with the investigation, but Huang Zhao seems to be afraid of death. It shouldn't be difficult to start with him." I lighted a cigarette leisurely before continuing: "However, I still want to Find out if there is such a thing as 'killed in a dream' in this world."

"Then don't go to work!" The boss threw me out of the office. After I walked out of the boss's office, I asked Viagra to help me search for relevant information on the Internet, but he said, "Is there any need to find it? Just let me 'Viagra Encyclopedia' tell you." Then he told me something about Things that die in dreams— Legend has it that in the dark ages of the Middle Ages in Western Europe, there was a small group of mysterious necromancers who could use necromancy to manipulate corpses, and even make a contract with the patron saint of wizards "Hecate" (Hecate) through mysterious rituals. At the cost of giving up life, in exchange for immortal spiritual power.

After signing the contract, the body of the necromancer will decline rapidly, and will become skinny in a short time, and the skin will be so pale that there is no blood, just like a walking corpse.Although their bodies are very fragile, their spirits are extremely strong.Just because they have strong spiritual support, they can be fearless of the serious decline of the body. Whether it is disease or aging, it is meaningless to them.Because even if the body is seriously injured, even if the whole body is rotten, as long as the brain remains intact, they will not die.Therefore, they can live almost forever.

However, even so, they are not invincible, because they have a fatal flaw, that is, if they have nightmares and are killed in the dream, then they will die immediately... The Western European legends that "Viagra Encyclopedia" told me seem to be of little help to this case, because what I want are scientific explanations and cases, not myths and legends.Moreover, the dead may not have the slightest relationship with the legendary necromancer.Then I asked him to collect relevant information on the Internet, but unfortunately found nothing. I also asked some professionals to be more reliable.When it comes to professionals, the first thing I think of is Cortana, so I call her.However, when I told her about the case and my guess, she said in amazement: "Killed by my dream? It's impossible!"

"However, judging from the superficial signs, this possibility is very high. I wonder if there is any possibility of this in medicine?" I also know that this speculation is absurd, but I really can't think of any other explanation. "Forget that I'm ignorant, I've never heard of people being killed by their own dreams." She paused and then analyzed Gao Weixiong's situation for me: "According to his situation, it should be work, family, etc. He was under too much pressure, so he often had nightmares. As the saying goes, "Think about it every day, dream about it at night", so the scenes and characters he saw in his dreams were things he often came into contact with on a daily basis. As for the cause of his death , I think it is likely to be related to the fact that he drank a lot of alcohol before going to bed."

"Horrible nightmares can make the heart beat faster and even make it difficult to breathe. When these conditions are serious enough to pose a threat to life, the brain will send a signal to wake up. Just like a sleeping person who is covered with his mouth and nose, he is very sleepy. It seems that he will wake up soon because he can't breathe. However, the deceased had drunk alcohol before going to bed, and it is likely that he did not wake up in time due to the influence of alcohol, which caused the tragedy of myocardial infarction. Therefore, the real cause of his death should be It’s excessive drinking. It’s like a drunk man who gets his nose and mouth covered and doesn’t wake up until he’s suffocated to death.”

Every time Xiaona analyzes the case for me, she can speak clearly and clearly, and even write it down in the report without missing a word.However, I always feel that her explanations are too rational, and she often ignores some important details.For example, this time, she focused on the inference that the deceased was drinking before going to bed. Under normal circumstances, her explanation is indeed valid, but now it is under the "normal" situation - the deceased had a very good drinking capacity. Drinking alcohol is not much compared to usual. Since Xiaona's explanation didn't satisfy me, I had to find another professional to explain it to me. This time I was looking for Fleeting Years.I came to the forensic office with Zhen Zhen and found that he was writing the autopsy report. It seemed that the autopsy had been completed, so I asked him what he had found.

While writing the autopsy report, he said: "I tested his blood and confirmed that he had never taken drugs, not even soft drugs like ecstasy. And no obvious traces of poisoning were found after the autopsy. There is no toxin in the blood. Therefore, it is now certain that he died of myocardial infarction." I told him Xiaona's statement and asked him whether the deceased might have died under the influence of alcohol.He replied with absolute certainty: "Absolutely impossible." "Why?" I said and tossed him a cigarette.He clicked on it before answering: "The alcohol concentration in the blood of the deceased was indeed very high, but I found that his liver and kidney showed no signs of disease, and the urine in his bladder also contained a high concentration of alcohol. This shows that his drinking capacity is higher than The average person is much better, the little drink before the incident is nothing to him, and he will not be so drunk that he loses consciousness."

Zhao Song and others also said that the deceased had a very good capacity for alcohol, and that he drove home by himself before his death. He had to pass through a relatively busy road on the way. His ability to return home safely proved that he was not very drunk. .But since he wasn't drunk, why didn't he wake up even after he had a myocardial infarction? I expressed my doubts to Liu Nian, and after he thought for a moment, he said, "Under normal circumstances, he should be able to wake up before his life is threatened. But have you noticed that since nearly two or three months ago, he has Every time he had a nightmare, his wife had to shake his body to wake up, instead of waking up by himself." Knowing the meaning of his words, I asked, "You mean, the reason why he died was actually because he had sex with his wife before the accident?" "What does it matter?" Zhen Zhen asked with a slightly red face. I suddenly realized that Zhenzhen was still a virgin. Of course I didn’t understand what I meant, but I was embarrassed to say it directly. Fortunately, Fleeting Years did it for me: "The deceased drank a lot of alcohol at the time, and the body’s sensitivity was inevitable. He Having sex with his wife under such circumstances will definitely make the other party very tired. Moreover, he seldom has sex with his wife recently, so if he makes love to him like this, his wife will of course be exhausted. In this way, she After laying down in bed, I still can’t sleep soundly.” Fleeting Nian has already said the part I am embarrassed to say, so I have nothing to worry about, and then he said: "Because she slept very soundly, when the deceased had a nightmare, she didn't wake up in time to shake her husband. .” After Zhen Zhen listened to my explanation, she blushed even more.This cannot be blamed on her. The deceased brought bad luck because of intercourse with his wife. It is indeed a ridiculous speculation, but the possibility is not low. When I was about to leave, Liu Nianji suddenly called me: "Amu, tell you something, maybe it will help the investigation." Then he told me a very strange thing—— I told you before that I have a neighbor named Sisao, and she told me about this.Her mother-in-law died before the mandatory cremation, so she was buried in a pagoda and placed in her husband's family ancestral grave. The ancestral tomb of his husband's family is very special. It is not closed, but semi-open. It is shaped like a mini temple, which is for the convenience of putting the remains of the ancestors there.Because there are no valuable funeral objects in the ancestral tomb, and it is built in a government-managed cemetery, there is no fear of being robbed. This incident revealed that when the Ching Ming Festival was approaching five years ago, the fourth sister-in-law seldom had dreams, but at that time she had the same strange dream for several nights in a row.She dreamed that her mother-in-law's lower body was soaked in water, and her upper body was also wet, and she kept telling her that it was very cold.It is not uncommon to have this kind of strange dream once in a while, but it is very strange to have the same strange dream for several nights in a row.Because she would clean the ancestral graves in advance every Qingming Festival and Chongyang Festival, so she opened her mother-in-law's pagoda to have a look while cleaning.However, as soon as she opened the pagoda, she found that it was very damp inside, and water droplets even condensed on the remains. She thought that her mother-in-law might entrust the dream to her for this reason.It just so happened that the weather was fine that day and the sun was very bright, so she took out the remains and dried them in the sun.She also opened the pagodas of other ancestors by the way, and when she saw the wet one, she took out the remains and put them on the ground to dry like her mother-in-law's remains.After all the remains were dried in the sun, she put them back into the pagoda. She thought she would stop having strange dreams like this, but she still had a strange dream that night, but this time it was different from before.She dreamed that her mother-in-law was sitting on the ground and told her that she couldn't walk. She asked her mother-in-law what happened, and the mother-in-law pointed to her left foot and said, "This leg doesn't work well." After she woke up, she didn't want to understand what was going on, so she went to the ancestral grave to open the pagoda of her mother-in-law at dawn.After opening the pagoda, she didn't find anything wrong, so she had to take out the remains and arrange them on the ground.After arranging the remains, she discovered the problem—the two thigh bones were of different lengths.She thought that she must have made a mistake when putting the remains back into the pagoda yesterday, so she took out all the remains from other pagodas and arranged them separately for searching. After placing the remains of the ancestors, she no longer had strange dreams... After listening to Fleeting Nian's story, I asked, "You mean, the deceased was killed by a ghost?" "I didn't say that, and I didn't guarantee that what my sister-in-law said was the truth. However, I believe that she will not lie to me, and I also believe that there are ghosts in dreams in this world." He put on an irresponsible attitude , Dun Dun said again: "You should have noticed that man named Huang Zhao." I nodded and said, "Well, I heard him tell Zhao Song that the deceased might have been killed by a ghost." "Are there really ghosts in this world?" Zhen Zhen's face changed from rosy just now to pale. I shrugged and smiled, "Of course I have, and there are quite a few of them. Hey, why are there two shadows behind you?" She trembled, and immediately turned to look behind her.I took the opportunity to pat her ass, and she jumped up screaming.However, she would soon find out that I was the one doing it, so I slipped away before she could hit me.Sure enough, as soon as I walked out of the door, I heard her roar: "Amu, I'm going to kill you!" After leaving the forensic office, we went to the technical team and asked Yuetong if there were any test results for the hair found in the window, but the answer we got was disappointing: "I can't be sure what kind of animal it is, only that it is a mammal. hair, perhaps a rare creature." "Couldn't it be a cat or a mouse?" I really can't imagine any rare animals appearing in the city. "If it's cats and mice, won't we be able to test it out?" Yue Tong gave me a blank look, as if displeased that I doubted her ability to work.In fact, I did not doubt her ability to work, but this tiny hair is probably one of the important clues in this case, so it should not be underestimated.But since he couldn't determine what kind of creature it was, he had no choice but to focus his investigation on Huang Zhao.After all, he is the only one who might give us clues now. It was already dusk when I left the technical team. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would be caught by Yuetong, and she would definitely catch me to treat me again.Just when he was about to go to Nie Hong to ask how he could get in touch with Huang Zhao, the phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number. Although this number has never been seen before, after connecting, I found that the voice of the other party seemed familiar: "Excuse me, is this Mu Shenyu?"
