"The fourth person to commit the murder!"

"Why?"

Huo Xiake introduced: "Zhang Liming's dream of Shen Man is too mysterious and violates the laws of this world's guest officials, but we can't guess the truth of the matter, so it becomes a huge mystery. If you want to solve a mystery, it's best to find out the flaws and start there. We couldn't find a flaw for the time being, until the appearance of the fourth person, and a huge flaw was immediately formed. ”

Hua Jiao thought for a while and said, "I understand, the fourth person is indeed a flaw. According to Shen Man's account, only three people appeared in the dream to kill Zhang Liming, but in reality, a fourth person appeared, which obviously conflicted logically with her dream. ”

Huo Xiake nodded and said: "That's right, based on the flaws of the fourth person, there are only two possibilities: one is that the three suspects are lying; The second is that Shen Man is lying. From common sense, three people lie together, and there will be a lot of contradictions and logical errors between each other, but during the interrogation, no similar problems were found, that is, they did not lie, and there was indeed a fourth person. Then, there is only one possibility left, Shen Man is lying. I suspect that this fourth person may be the key to all the truth! ”

Hua Jiao said: "Since you have doubts, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Ask clearly."

Huo Xiake stood up, walked up the stairs, and beckoned to Hua Jiao: "Come with me." ”

Hua Jiao saw that Huo Xiake was so confident, he must have a countermeasure, and hurriedly followed.

When he arrived on the second floor, Shen Man was tidying up. She didn't bring much with her, nothing to pack. Since she lived in No. 221 Shell Garden, she has mainly borrowed Huo Xiake's necessities. Now she will put it in order to return it to her master.

"Excuse me." Huo Xiake knocked on the open door.

Shen Man straightened his waist and turned his head to look at Huo Xiake, who was Hua Jiao in the distance, standing in the corridor.

"Something?" Shen Man asked.

Huo Xiake said: "There are still a few questions that I don't understand, I want to ask." ”

Shen Man didn't understand, his big deer-like eyes were full of puzzlement, and he asked, "What else don't you understand." ”

Huo Xiake said: "As far as I know, people can easily forget their dreams, usually within two or three minutes after waking up, they will forget all the details of their dreams. It's amazing that you can remember the dream clearly, and you don't even miss the fork in the road to the wilderness and the physical characteristics of the murderer. I want to know, how do you do that? ”

Shen Man was confused, thought for a while and said, "Probably, it's because my memory is outstanding." In addition, this dream was not just done once, but many times over and over again, so I remembered it. ”

Huo Xiake nodded and said, "Well, okay, even if you have an outstanding memory, and you have dreamed many times in a row, so you remember everything clearly, and you haven't missed a single detail, right?" ”

Shen Man bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

"But I don't understand." Huo Xiake said, "Since you remember the way to the burial place in the wilderness, and you also remember the appearance of the three murderers, and even the police drew portraits based on the clues you provided, so they caught the three murderers." However, why is there a fourth murderer? Didn't he appear in your dreams? ”

Shen Man was stunned for a moment, his face showed a confused look, and then he seemed to fall into a huge shock, his hands couldn't help but hug his petite body, and he began to tremble.

"I don't know, I don't know! Don't ask me, don't ask me! Yes! Shen Man's emotions exploded suddenly, and the whole person's spirit suddenly collapsed, shouting.

Huo Xiake saw that the situation was wrong, and was afraid that something would happen to Shen Man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to restrain her. Hua Jiao also came in to help, and the two teamed up to restrain Shen Man, so that she finally calmed down. It's just that Shen Man's whole person became dumbfounded, as if he was a dead man.

"What's the matter with her?" Huo Xiake was puzzled, "It seems to be mentally ill." ”

Hua Jiao said: "It seems that she has been greatly stimulated, resulting in a temporary mental breakdown, the problem is not big, and it can be treated for a few days." ”

Huo Xiake said obliquely: "It seems that you know this very well. ”

Hua Jiao replied seriously: "You know, I have PTSD, it took a long time to recover, in order to avoid myself falling into a bad mental state again, I have to learn to self-regulate, so I took a course in psychology and have a master's degree in psychology." ”

Facing Xueba, Huo Xiake suddenly choked, speechless, and spread his hands for a while and said, "Okay." You call an ambulance first, it seems that Shen Man needs to go to the hospital. ”

Hua Jiao called an ambulance and sent Shen Man to the hospital, and sure enough, as he judged, Shen Man had a mental problem and needed professional medical treatment.

But after sending Shen Man away, Huo Xiake's face suddenly became grim.

Hua Jiao observed his words and asked, "What is the meaning of the question you asked just now?" ”

Huo Xiake sighed: "At least I found a little bit of Shen Man's so-called purpose of lying. ”

Hua Jiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Really?" Have you discovered the truth about your dreams? ”

Huo Xiake said: "It's still a little close, I have to go to the criminal investigation captain to ask." ”

She picked up her mobile phone and dialed the number of the criminal investigation captain, and soon a yin and yang weird male voice came out of the receiver: "Hey, it's a chivalrous man!" I heard that you ruined Shen Man and sent him to mental illness. I really don't see that you're quite capable. ”

Huo Xiake shouted: "You are quite well-informed. ”

The captain of the criminal investigation team shouted angrily: "Of course you are well-informed, Shen Man is our important witness, I am asking you to protect and investigate her, not to let you abolish her." ”

Huo Xiake's forehead was exposed, and he almost wanted to attack, and he swallowed his anger for a while: "Okay, it's me who is wrong, I admit my mistake." You don't have to talk nonsense either, the key now is to solve the problem, not the person who raised it. I've found a clue and need your help. ”

"I remember! Say it, what assistance. ”

"Help me check, apart from her boyfriend, Shen Man has any close relatives and good friends who have a particularly good relationship, and they came to this city a month ago."

"Half an hour later."

The captain of the criminal investigation team put down the phone, Huo Xiake immediately attacked, and yelled: "What is he awesome, let me do the work, and let me carry the black cauldron!" ”

Hua Jiao couldn't cry or laugh.

Huo Xiake sat on the sofa and waited patiently for the news.

Half an hour later, the head of the criminal investigation team sent a photo using instant messaging software and noted his identity.

Hua Jiao looked at Huo Xiake's mobile phone screen, and the photo showed a young man who was Shen Man's half-brother. According to the introduction, Shen Man's parents divorced at an early age, and Shen Man lived with his mother and took his mother's surname. The father remarried after the divorce and had a son who was two years younger than Shen Man. Shen Man happened to be in the same school as his younger brother when he was in elementary school, so he met, and then lived together in middle school and high school, and the relationship between his sister and brother was very good.
