Chapter 24

The dream has nothing to hide, we just don't understand its language.Dreams show us the unadorned truth of nature.Dreams are the spontaneous and undistorted product of the unconscious mind.Dreams are enlightenment, and they are the subconscious efforts of people to make the whole soul more harmonious and reasonable.Most crises have a long incubation period that is just invisible to the conscious mind.Dreams can reveal this secret.

— Carl Jung

The weather in Qilan City is still not very good today.It has been raining for a week, and the sky is still gloomy today, and there is no intention of consecration at all.

Lan He sat in front of the desk, staring at the document on the screen and typing calmly. His complexion was the same as the weather outside, and he had maintained the same condition as before a week ago, showing no signs of recovery.Someone knocked on the door, he shook his eyes, quickly closed the document, lifted his heavy eyelids, and looked outside.

"Mr. Lan, there is a policeman named Chen Yifan at the front desk who said he has an appointment with you..." The assistant standing at the door looked towards him, showing no intention of coming in.

Lan He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Oh, it's hard work for you to make a trip and bring him up."

The assistant said with a smile: "You have worked so hard, you didn't sleep last night, look at those dark circles..."

Lan He raised his hand and waved him.

"Walking around, Mr. Lan was yelling joyously one second at a time, and scolded me the next second. What about my class status?"

The assistant closed the door for him, leaving only a trace of resistance.

"I'll eat it all for you~~~"

The assistant was too dedicated and didn't give Lan He much time to relax, so the door was pushed open again.

"Hey, are you asleep?" The person who poked his head in was a young man of medium height. He was dressed in tight black skin and had experienced a lot of wind and rain. He even wore a light blue vertical striped shirt. Fortunately, he was good-looking and had a good figure. Tiaoshun, the whole other kind of handsome black.

Lan He opened his eyes and hummed lazily.

Chen Yifan didn't meet him, walked around to him, and opened his file without authorization.

The above is a detailed analysis of the Lan Tian case, which he and Lan He sorted out before.Chen Yifan looked through it and said, "What's the extra?"

"I revised it based on Cheng Xiaojing's advice." Lan He spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito, and it sounded like he was about to pass out.

Chen Yifan cursed in a low voice when he saw that he was about to stop cooking.

"Weak chicken, it will be useless after one night."

Lan He closed his eyes and said angrily, "You can do what you want."

Chen Yifan poured cold water on him again: "Brother stayed up all night for half a month, and today he is still alive and well to give you warmth."

Lan He froze for a moment, then sat up straight suddenly, and said energetically, "Is there any progress?"

Chen Yifan didn't know when he opened the webpage, logged into QQQ, and uploaded a file from his mobile phone.

It's a surveillance video.

At first glance, Lan He discovered that the location of the video was in a high-end restaurant in the center of Qilan City.

Lan He also likes to go to that restaurant when socializing. Just looking at the picture, he can imagine the scene of eating in it.

Gentle jazz music lingered in the ears of the diners, and there was only one person eating in the whole room, and the knives, forks and plates collided with the porcelain plate in front of them from time to time.Mixed with jazz, they just played a clanging symphony.

The diner was a very delicate looking woman.

It's not just about her appearance, including her long blue dress, her hairstyle in a bun, and her meticulous and flawless makeup.There is also a bag on a small table aside for sundries.Look at her skillful operation of cutting steak, and the skill of eating a landscape.She should be a celebrity who is used to being in the social circle.

The only thing that didn't quite fit was the phone sitting next to the dinner plate.

The mobile phone is the latest white Apple mobile phone, brand new as if it has just been taken out of the package.No frills, no protective case.

The screen suddenly lights up.

The woman's hand stopped, and the knives in her hand clattered loudly—they were all thrown on the porcelain plate.It announced the end of the symphony and re-entered the chapter of jazz.

The call lasted about three minutes, and when it was over, the woman dropped the phone on the table, ate the last of her steak, grabbed her bag and left.

"Do you know this woman?" Chen Yifan asked.

Lan He nodded, he folded his arms and buried himself in the chair.

"I know, a famous socialite named Mei Xueqi."

Chen Yifan couldn't help showing disappointment in him.

"You socialism moths, you know socialites. Can you change your mind? In terms of criminal investigation status, she should be said to be the victim of the Chen Jiajin case."

"It's fine if you understand it in your heart." Lan He looked disgusted, "Then, don't talk to me in a roundabout way. I've been up all night for several days, and my mind is confused."

Chen Yifan dragged a chair over and pushed Lan He aside.I took the main seat, sitting in front of the computer, with a solemn expression on my face.

"Chen Jiajin's case and Lan Tian's case happened on the same day, which made me feel a little tricky, so I followed this woman for many days, and only caught her with this abnormal behavior today." He suddenly started to fumble in his pockets After a while, he took out a long and thin pen and said, "This is the recording I got."

"..." Lan He convinced him a little, and said, "Your method is not right."

"Tsk, the process is not important, you will be grateful to me after listening to it." Chen Yifan pressed the play button.

The recorder is a bit noisy.

Lan He frowned and said, "It's cheap, I'll buy you a higher-end one next time."

Chen Yifan was pleased by him, and he showed his white teeth in a smile.

——The jazz music is really exactly the same as he imagined.Lan He wiped his nose, and couldn't help but reflect on whether he should go to that kind of place less.

What a waste of time.No wonder I always stay up all night.

"Why are you calling me now? You don't know me..."

Then there was the sound of electric current, and if you listen carefully, it seems that there are other sounds mixed in.In the blink of an eye, Lan He felt contempt again.

Chen Yifan opened his mouth at this time, and explained to him: "The other party should be talking to her in this paragraph, and when it's time to get off work, I'll go back to the bureau and start a little bit of trouble."

Now comes the next sentence.

"Shall I call that dog?"

There was another squeak, but this time it was shorter.

"Hehe, few of the men in my hands can escape."

Lan He snorted and said in a low voice, "If Chen Jiajin hears this, I'm afraid he will go crazy."

Chen Yifan answered coolly.

"As early as three months ago, he went crazy. His family has been very troubled recently, there is no one to protect him, and he is still squatting inside. The rich second generation has lost face, poor. "

Lan He thought of Chen Yuanyuan all of a sudden, and felt rather uncomfortable. He turned his head and asked Chen Yifan, "Can you find out which firm took this case?"

Chen Yifan listened carefully to the recording, and replied casually.

"Pengcheng Office, rich capitalism is standard, don't you like their house too?"

At this time, a sentence came out of the recording pen.

"I'm a little curious, we're above..."

Chen Yifan pressed the switch and said, "It's gone, it's here."

Lan He lay there thinking for a while, his eyes fell on the recorder Chen Yifan left on the table, and he said, "So, if you give me this today, you want me to honor the gentlemen at Pengcheng Office?"

Chen Yifan raised his eyebrows to tease him, and said, "Isn't there only one uncle in your mind?"

Lan He's expression darkened all of a sudden, and he said, "Yes, my uncle is still unconscious, which makes my grandson sleepless all night, very uncomfortable."

Chen Yifan ignored his pretended Xi Shi holding his heart, sighed and said: "Then you won't serve your uncle anymore?"

"Serve me," Lan He took it for granted, "This uncle is a treasure. There are many people who want to kill him." After finishing speaking, he raised his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, stood up suddenly, and said, "Let's go, take you back."

Chen Yifan didn't even move his buttocks, as if he didn't want to leave.

"It's still early."

"Don't you want to start a small stove? If it's late, if someone leaves after get off work, you can do it yourself?"

"That's a technical job." Chen Yifan glared at him and said, "I can do it myself. You don't have to worry about me, I've been in contact with you long ago. You should keep a low profile on Xiaozao. I'm probably too popular recently. Now, there are always troublemakers who want to harm me."

Chen Yifan didn't do well in the police station, Lan He knew it.Teamwork is all about congeniality.Obviously, Chen Yifan couldn't get along with his colleagues.

But in the end, it was still important. Lan He personally sent Chen Yifan back to the City Bureau. Not long after he left, he received another call from this unlucky ghost.

"Fuck! Lan He! You went back?!"

"Yeah, the city bureau is important, I'm hanging around outside, I'm dying?" Lan He teased.

"Forget it." Chen Yifan's tone was full of pity coming from the opposite side of the phone, Lan He laughed lowly, waiting for him to hang up the phone himself.

But I heard Chen Yifan say: "Let me give you a verbal spoiler first. In that phone call, your uncle was mentioned."

Lan He's spirit was not concentrated, he replied subconsciously.

"what?"

Chen Yifan roared directly.

"In the recording, it's about your uncle, and it's said that your difficult uncle woke up, just this morning!"

"..." Lan He slammed on the brakes, "Wait, I'll find a place to stop."

His heart seemed to be about to burst, and an unexplained soreness rushed to his nose.

Chen Yifan hurriedly urged him.

"Hurry up, I'm very inconvenient!"

Lan He parked the car, adjusted his sudden unstable mood, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, tell me."

Chen Yifan is so perceptive.

"Fuck... who are you? Could it be that you are crying with excitement?"

"Do you want to talk? Or should I go back now?" Lan He said in a loud voice.

"Don't, don't, the city bureau is a stronghold of socialism, don't come in with your evil capitalism." Chen Yifan cleared his throat, and said, "The recording, the first sentence answered the woman's voice, it was a man's voice. Said, 300 million woke up, the news came from the hospital in the morning."

"The second sentence is, don't use it now, you let him hide to avoid the limelight. The third sentence is the above, your case, if Guan Pengcheng on the other side takes it, you should withdraw according to the situation, and don't expose too much information."

"The last sentence is that curiosity will kill you." Chen Yifan said, "The rest are all nonsense. I will bring it to you tomorrow to listen to it again."

Lan He said casually, "The day after tomorrow, I won't be able to do it tomorrow."

"It's inconvenient for you to tell me?" Chen Yifan replied habitually.

"I'm going to see the uncle, do you want to go with me?" Lan He asked.

"Oh, that's really inconvenient, let's make an appointment again, I'll withdraw first, goodbye!" Chen Yifan hung up quickly, as if he had encountered an "emergency" situation.
