I can dream about my own death.

"Why would you suddenly ask that?" Li Mubo asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Wensheng said with a wry smile, "Recently, I've encountered a lot of strange things, and these things are all strongly related to my dreams. This makes me think a lot."

Li Mubo immediately replied:

There is a saying that goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." Dreams are more of a disordered reflection of the brain on events in the real world, and the outcome of a dream can be infinitely varied.

If you feel a strong connection between your dreams and reality, it's likely that your dreams reflect a way of thinking that's quite close to reality.

For example, if you dream last night that you passed by a coffee shop, and then the next day on your way to work you happen to pass by a coffee shop again, you will feel that the dream is very real.

If you don't pass by a coffee shop, you'll naturally forget the dream you had last night.

Therefore, the chances of dreams mirroring reality are slim, and there's nothing mystical about it.

Chen Wensheng immediately shook his head, pointed to the photo of Yu Juan walking a husky on the wall, and retorted, "Officer Li, I don't agree with your answer. The night before I was bitten by this husky, I really dreamed that this husky attacked me."

Li Mubo followed Chen Wensheng's finger to the photo on the wall, then looked at Chen Wensheng in shock: "You're saying you were bitten by this husky?"

"Yes! On January 5th, I went to work as usual, and then I encountered this husky on the way and got bitten. I got a rabies vaccine, and then I wrote a piece about rabies, which was eventually adopted by the company. Later, traces of the rabies virus were discovered." Chen Wensheng briefly recounted what happened.

"This...this can't be explained by metaphysics either." As a criminal investigator, Li Mubo firmly believed in science. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Everything has a reason. You wouldn't dream of being bitten by a dog for no reason. Before this, have you seen any other dogs or anything like that?"

Chen Wensheng carefully recalled his experiences on the day before he had the dream.

That day, after he got off work, he went to the market to buy groceries. He bought a tilapia from Lao Zhou's fish stall. Lao Zhou had warned him that the stray cats and dogs in the neighborhood were very aggressive while he was cleaning the fish.

At the time, Lao Zhou must have known that these cats and dogs had rabies. Lao Zhou had good intentions towards him and did not want him to be scratched by the cats and dogs.

After buying the fish, on his way home, he discovered a tabby cat and a big yellow dog behaving strangely and fighting. Later, a wealthy woman named Yu Juan and her husky appeared, and the combative husky joined the fight.

All these things indicate that his dream that night was not without warning.

Therefore, the dump truck accident at the intersection was not a sudden dream.

The area surrounding Morning Star Low-Rent Apartment is a slum. Although this area is considered part of the city, the control over large vehicles such as dump trucks is not strict.

He also frequently encounters dump trucks parked on the side of the road or driving on the road.

Perhaps his dream was his own instinctive prediction of potential dangers around him?

And that dream about the company's 104th floor might also be an instinctive fear fantasy of "what if he, a lazy and unambitious employee, were ruthlessly fired by the company and lost his job twenty years later?"

Thinking about this, Chen Wensheng felt that his dreams weren't so terrifying anymore. Each dream had a reasonable explanation, so he replied, "Officer Li, your saying 'everything has a reason' is particularly true. All the dreams I had before weren't without warning; they all had clues."

Li Mubo nodded: "Your idea is correct. As a journalist, if you don't even believe in science or the universal laws that exist in this world, it will have extremely negative consequences."

Chen Wensheng: "..."

It turns out that Li Mubo even stopped investigating the case and gave him a long explanation because he was afraid that his words would be reported by 749 Media, thereby misleading the general public and causing them to question science.

After speaking with Chen Wensheng, Li Mubo continued to look at the wall.

Five or six minutes later, Li Mubo turned to look at Chen Wensheng again:

"You said you were bitten by the husky in this photo before, which is probably to be expected."

When I was investigating Jiang Yanhui, I also took the opportunity to investigate the movements of his wife, Yu Juan.

His wife, Yu Juan, stayed at the Tianyu Hotel next to Chenxing Apartment for a few days, bringing along a dog.

She brought her husky here to live simply because there are so many stray cats and dogs here.

She wanted her husky to bite other dogs to satisfy her perverse violent desires.

And it's perfectly normal for you to see her walking her dog on your way to work.

Upon hearing Li Mubo's explanation, Chen Wensheng recalled the scene of "Yu Juan excitedly shouting for the husky to bite stray cats and dogs," and felt a chill run down his spine.

"This Yu Juan is so perverted. She deserved to have contracted rabies," Chen Wensheng said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Li Mubo did not respond. As a criminal police officer, his identity was extremely special. In front of the camera, he could not express any biased opinions, nor could he show any disgust or pity for anyone.

As a criminal investigator, if you investigate a case with your personal likes and dislikes, you will inevitably make irrational inferences and lose objectivity, which is completely unacceptable.

Li Mubo deliberately changed the subject, saying:

"Yesterday, at the crime scene on Jingyun Road, I said that this case gave me a particularly contradictory feeling."

This case was clearly meticulously planned, yet the suspect left behind a large amount of evidence at the scene after committing the crime.

It turns out the problem arose in your part. You reported the rabies outbreak ahead of time, which directly led to a three-day lockdown. Multiple departments went to the streets to catch stray cats and dogs, and the city's basic security patrols became much weaker.

This gives criminal suspects a better opportunity to commit crimes.

Taking advantage of this "golden opportunity," the suspect chose to commit the crime during the lockdown.

Chen Wensheng waved his hands repeatedly, instinctively saying, "That makes it sound like I'm an accomplice. I'm innocent! Don't mess around!"

"Don't be nervous, I didn't mean to say you were an accomplice."

Li Mubo shook his head, then pointed to the wall.

"Look, according to the plan on this wall."

Once Yu Juan contracts rabies and develops symptoms, her husband Jiang Yanhui will definitely drop everything to take care of her.

The sewer renovation project on Jingyun Road was personally directed by Jiang Yanhui; no one else had the authority to direct it.

If Jiang Yanhui takes care of his sick wife, it will inevitably cause the sewer renovation project to be suspended in the short term.

During the short-term shutdown of the sewer renovation project, the suspects would disguise themselves as regular employees to commit crimes.

Among those involved in the crimes were migrant workers who worked for Jiang Yanhui.

With these migrant workers stepping forward to "clarify" that it was normal construction work, no one would discover that they were committing a crime.

This allows criminal suspects to commit crimes in broad daylight.

If this plan is carried out, the suspects will have a safer way to transport gold.

For example, on the night after the crime, the suspect could take advantage of the darkness and blend into the large number of pedestrians enjoying their nightlife to secretly transfer the gold away.

There's absolutely no need to go to such lengths as melting the gold with aqua regia and then transporting it elsewhere through corrosion-resistant pipes to collect it again.

The criminal plan posted on the wall reveals that the suspects could use various methods to transfer gold.

Because of the sudden three-day lockdown, the suspect used the most complex method of dissolving gold with aqua regia.

At the time, this method of transferring gold was considered the safest and least likely to be discovered by outsiders.

However, after committing the crime, they were unable to properly clean up the scene, leaving behind a large amount of evidence.

This shows that there is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world.

Every type of crime has its flaws and leaves behind evidence.

The direct reason why the suspect chose to dissolve the gold with aqua regia was that Wensheng discovered rabies in advance, which led to the three-day lockdown of Changfeng City.

During the lockdown, there were no pedestrians on Jingyun Road, so the suspects could not transport the gold through Jingyun Road.

Therefore, Wensheng, you are not an accomplice of the criminal suspect, but rather an indirect contributor who reduced the criminal suspect's choice of crime.

This gave our police a clear direction for the investigation.

Li Mubo talked on and on, and Chen Wensheng finally felt relieved.

Then, Li Yucheng asked, "So far, we've only found less than three kilograms of gold. Where did the remaining sixty-odd kilograms go?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mubo's previously normal expression immediately darkened, and he replied very seriously, "Now that the suspect has been found, we will surely be able to follow the clues and find the whereabouts of the remaining gold."
