The strongest dream therapist

Chapter 54: The Siren's Past Life
"you are lying."

It suddenly started to drizzle outside the window. Fu Yuan's knuckles tapped lightly on the window frame, and the autumn rain meandered into fine silver lines on the glass.

"Your attitude changed obviously before and after you were kidnapped. I wonder if you noticed it." She suddenly poured half a box of mints onto the table, and the candies made a crackling sound when they collided with the wood grain.

"You were afraid at first, and people like you value life the most. But now you're not afraid anymore. Can you tell me why?"

Actually, what she said was a bit far-fetched. Wu Ping's acting skills are still quite good.

Moreover, after such a long time, even though the murderer has not been caught, it will probably remain an unsolved case. It is not impossible to return to the countryside to avoid sight.

Wu Ping's fingertips, which were applying nail polish, suddenly tightened. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Fu Yuan say:
"Apart from the fact that I came into contact with that group of people and came to an agreement on some matters, I can't think of any other reason."

Fu Yuan smelled a sweet and fishy smell in the air, like the seaweed juice seeping out of the crevices of the reefs during high tide.

She put the mint candy under her tongue, and the cool and stinging sensation instantly cut through her increasingly chaotic nerves.

Without waiting for Wu Ping to speak, Fu Yuan looked at her steadily, his expression somewhat disgusted: "Don't use your ability on me again. Every time you use your ability, there will be a faint fishy smell. This is why you always carry perfume."

"You still refuse to confess?" Fu Yuan frowned. "Then I can only assume that you are in cahoots with them."

Having said that, he was about to push the door open and go out.

She did this just to scare Wu Ping. Firstly, even if they thought she was an accomplice, they couldn't do anything. Now is an era that values evidence. I wonder if the 224th Bureau also handles cases in this way.

Secondly, Guo Yu was mainly responsible for this case, and she had no power to make decisions on his behalf.

But one thing after another did not give Wu Ping any time to think. Suddenly, her abilities and some of their side effects were pointed out, and she felt a little panicked.

"Wait!" Wu Ping shouted.

She didn't know how much information the police had or whether there was any key evidence.

Fu Yuan turned his head with a half-smile: "Did you remember something?"

She was also a shy college graduate before, but she has encountered a lot of things recently, and she feels that she may be able to do a lot of things. Being shy and silent often does not solve any problems, but instead causes trouble for everyone.

The human body's psychological defense mechanisms are truly terrifying.

"...I remembered something." Wu Ping sat on the edge of the bed, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water beside her and took a sip.

Fu Yuan was not in a hurry. He sat on the edge of the desk opposite the bed and said calmly, "We are all very busy. If you remember something, tell us as soon as possible. Otherwise, what will you do if you forget it later? Besides, your husband's death has nothing to do with you. You are just a victim. Everything you did after being kidnapped was to avoid danger."

"If a person is starving to death in the wild and the only food they can find is a panda, they cannot be convicted of a crime even if they eat the panda."

After drinking the water, Wu Ping slowly calmed down. She knew that Fu Yuan was trying to trick her, but she still took the bait.

She is now a victim of the case, so what can we do if we suspect her?
Wu Ping's heart raced, and she slowly said, "You guessed right. I did wake up once during the trip, but I didn't make any deal with them."

Is this considered self-destruction?

Fu Yuan curled his lips: "How many people are in the car? Are you sitting in the back seat?"

Before, when I followed Guo Yu and others to the abandoned garbage dump, I saw the outline of Wu Ping's Hermès bag in the back seat of the burning car.

Wu Ping didn't know how much she knew, so she answered honestly, "Two."

There are indeed two.

Before Fu Yuan could ask, Wu Ping continued, "I was afraid they would find out I was awake, so I didn't dare open my eyes and immediately pretended to be asleep again. I was also given anesthesia at the time, so I had no strength left in my body..." "Oh—" Fu Yuan stretched out his voice, with the ending tone rising slightly, "You have no strength left in your body? I'm curious how you managed to struggle to the shore in the lake. There's no reason for them to leave you alive."

Wu Ping bit her lip, looking a little struggling.

"I don't know either. You should have investigated me, right? I've loved soaking in water since I was a child. Sometimes I often dream that I was a mermaid in my previous life."

Fu Yuan nodded slightly, motioning her to continue.

Wu Ping took a deep breath and continued, "Maybe there really is a past life. Although I felt suffocated in the water, I didn't die. I don't know where the oxygen came from... The two of them held me in the water for a full five minutes. I pretended to be dead, and they observed me for a few minutes to make sure there was no movement before leaving."

Mermaid?

Or a siren?

Fu Yuan thought of the story of Cheng Huang that Guo Yu had told her not long ago.

Abroad, there are also some descriptions in "The Odyssey". On his way back home, Odysseus had to go through a strait full of the sound of sirens. In order to listen to the captivating and ethereal singing, he asked the sailors with wax in their ears to tie himself tightly to the mast to avoid being tempted by the sirens' singing.

This is similar to Wu Ping's ability.

"Besides not being able to drown, what other abilities do you have?" Fu Yuan took this opportunity to ask again.

Wu Ping shrugged, a look of helplessness on her face. "I can't eat fish, but if I have a wound, it will slowly heal in the water. Does that count as another ability?"

Fu Yuan nodded.

But she still didn't understand why those two men killed her when they were not on the road?

Maybe she not only woke up in the middle, but also bewitched one of them, and then reached some kind of deal, but the other party broke the contract and wanted to drown her.

Is that right?

Fu Yuan always felt that there was a layer of fog, something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"After you woke up, what deal did you reach in the car?" Fu Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.

Wu Ping looked puzzled, as if she had just heard an absurd question. "What do you mean? Suspecting me? I don't even dare to look at them. How can we possibly reach a deal?"

Fu Yuan rubbed his brows and asked, "Then why didn't they burn you in the car?"

Wu Ping hummed, then suddenly laughed, "You're wondering about that!"

"They really wanted to burn me and then leave by sea. But at that time, I woke up. You know, my ability is to bewitch... but it has its limits. For example, I can't deceive you right now. And for ordinary people, it's impossible for me to suddenly ask others to commit suicide for me or give me all their money..."

Seeing that Wu Ping was about to go off topic again, Fu Yuan interrupted her: "Go on, don't talk nonsense."

Wu Ping: "Oh, then I told them that I love swimming and I want to die in the water."

Fu Yuan couldn't believe it. "So they agreed? To take you to the lake and drown you?"

Wu Ping said confidently, "Yes, what else can I do? I don't need to stage this myself. If I were really in cahoots with those two, I wouldn't have to hint at you calling the police, right?"

　La la la la - although Fu Yuan is a bit aggressive, there is nothing I can do. The case has not been moving forward.
