Chapter 208: Chapter 206, the beginning of the dream!

“Captain Zhang, what exactly are you investigating? Is it an unjust case? I can help you investigate it in detail.”

The young policeman was very active.

“Xiao Liu, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest early. You have to go to work tomorrow,”Zhang Yanfeng said.

This matter originated from a dream of his. He couldn’t let more people know about it. To be honest, it wouldn’t have a good impact.

“It’s okay, Captain Zhang. I’m not tired. I can…”

“You’re tired,”Zhang Yanfeng reminded him.

“Oh, uh, okay. I’m tired. How about this, Captain Zhang, I’ll take my leave first.”

The young policeman took his notebook and left.

Zhou Ze sat at the side and silently lit a cigarette. Really, from Zhang Yanfeng’s body, he seemed to really see himself from his past life. Back then, Dr. Lin adored him, but he did not feel anything. He treated his subordinates the same way.

Out of the blue, Zhou ze asked, “Is officer Zhang still single?”

Zhang Yanfeng nodded.

Heh..,

it really looked like him.

Back to the main topic, Zhang Yanfeng’s gaze was serious as he reached out his hand and lightly tapped on the table:

“Actually, based on that scene, I instinctively feel that it looks a little familiar. It has a lot of similarities with some movies and literary works

“I know what you mean. Chains, prison uniforms, walking forward step by step in the narrow passage, surrounded by other cells. Everyone’s eyes were either numb or angry as they watched all of this.

“If you took out your cell phone to play ‘Tears of the Iron Window’at this time, it would be more appropriate for the atmosphere.”

“You think so too?”

Zhang Yanfeng’s expression was still serious. In fact, under this kind of seriousness, there was a hidden awkwardness and discomfort. He had been a police officer for most of his life, he felt that it was very strange to discuss such a mysterious matter with a person who was still a suspect in his eyes. Moreover, it was filled with a sense of dissonance.

Actually, police officer Zhang’s psychological quality was still very strong. An ordinary person who had experienced such a thing for the first time would probably be scared out of their wits, but he could still forcefully calm down.

“If it’s a heroic soul or a former martyr, such as being escorted to the execution ground to prepare for the death penalty, this logic does make sense. We often appear in movies and novels, and those martyrs are indeed worthy of respect.”

Zhou ze slowed down and exhaled a smoke ring. Then, he pointed at his feet and said,

“But the Martyr was so bored that he put a chain on you and my feet?

Is this a souvenir?

Or is it the encouragement of Love?

“Moreover, I’m a good person, and you’re also a good person. Alright, my description is a little silly, but we can only follow this logic for now.

“Under the premise that we’re both good people, the martyr’s heroic soul put a chain on us?

“It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense.

“It’s not like we’re going to a scenic area or a temple. The locals are forcefully selling souvenirs, so without a second thought, we’ll put them on you first.”

Zhang Yanfeng nodded. Letting an old criminal police officer analyze the thoughts of a ghost was indeed a little professional, but in fact, both humans and ghosts had the same thought pattern.

If it really was the martyr’s heroic soul, it shouldn’t be that boring, right?

Giving blessings shouldn’t be given to chains.

Zhang Yanfeng’s phone rang again. He picked up the phone. After a while, he said to Zhou Ze,

“The ruins of our police station used to be a hospital. From the time of the Republic of China, it was a hospital. After liberation, it was abandoned for a period of time. It was used as a tube-shaped building for the residents to settle down. Later, it was converted into a police station on this basis. Ten years ago, it went through another round of renovations. There was no trace of it being used as a prison.”

Zhou Ze fell into deep thought. Generally speaking, the dead soul and obsession must be located at its initial position. For example, if a person died unjustly in a place, if there was a vengeful soul, it would definitely be active at this point.

Moreover, both Zhou Ze and officer Zhang were chained in this police station. This could also prove that the original trigger point of the incident was in this police station.

“Never been in a prison?”Zhou ze couldn’t understand it. The situation in Zhang Yanfeng’s dream had been described very clearly. At that time, that place should indeed be a prison.

“I’ll go back first and investigate it carefully. You know, this kind of information is not available on the internet. I have to go to the archives.”

Zhang Yanfeng took his phone and the cigarette on the table and left. When he walked out of the cafe, he raised his head and let out a long sigh.

He didn’t dare to think too much about what had happened today, and he didn’t want to think too much about it, including Zhou Ze.

However, this matter still needed to be dealt with. After all, this chain had appeared intermittently in his dream for more than twenty years. He couldn’t give up this opportunity because of some mysophobia.

Turning his head back, he glanced at Zhou Ze who was still sitting in the cafe. Zhang Yanfeng shook his head. He suddenly felt that the person inside was very terrifying. Yes, very terrifying.

This was no longer the gaze of a police officer looking at a suspect, but the gaze of someone looking at the person inside the door. The life of the two people and the scenery around them might really be worlds apart.

Zhang Yanfeng did not know if he could still come out of the door once he was deep inside.

Shaking his head, he walked to the police station.

Zhou Ze took a taxi and returned to the bookstore half an hour later.

The bookstore was closed today. It was closed during the day and closed at night. Something happened to the boss. The employees were worried about the boss and did not have the heart to work.

This feeling..,

was like a middle school student saying that the motherland had not been unified and that I really could not read the book.

They explained it this way,

however:

The old priest was on a live broadcast, and monkey was giving him a cell phone. He kept thanking the boss for his planes and rockets!

Xu Qinglang was lying behind the bar counter, his face covered with a rusted mask. He was listening to a song and humming happily.

Bai Yingying was eating chicken upstairs. Recently, she had bought a Kakao service account. It was said that she did not have any cheats and was having a good time.

Even the Deadman who had been sitting downstairs returned to his room and continued to sit.

Looking at his employees, boss Zhou seemed to be a little dispirited. He had not slept for two days, so he went straight to the second floor. When he returned to his bedroom, he lay on the bed.

Thinking of the rusty iron chain around his feet, he felt very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. He kept turning left and right.

Bai Yingying tactfully ended the game and lay on the bed as well. She asked Zhou Ze to put his head on the base of his thigh,

then, she began to gently massage Zhou Ze’s head.

Zhou ze finally felt sleepy. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

… ..

Tick-tock..

Tick-tock..

Tick-tock..

That’s the sound of water,

it’s crisp,

and empty.

Zhou Ze opened his eyes and found himself lying on the water, familiar with the pool, familiar with the distant road, as well as the road, densely tiptoed walking ghosts.

Back here again?

I haven’t dreamed for a long time,

especially after sleeping with Bai Yingying, the quality of my sleep was indeed much better than before.

Zhou ze subconsciously took a look at the bottom of the pool. He revisited the old place, always wanting to see if the old enemy was still there.

The water in the pool was very clear. It was the kind of clear water that did not have the slightest sense of exaggeration. Looking down, he could not see the slightest trace of the Faceless Woman’s existence.

It seemed that she really died in Chengdu.

Zhou ze heaved a long sigh of relief,

however, at this moment, he saw the shadow behind him in the reflection of the pond. He immediately turned around and found that there was a woman standing less than a meter behind him. A woman whose hair completely covered his face.

“You’re Not Dead?”

Zhou ze asked with some doubt.

The woman did not answer, but continued to stand there.

“Where are you going?”Zhou ze asked.

The woman slowly raised her head. Although her eyes were under the thick hair, Zhou Ze could feel that she was staring at him:

“I should be the one asking you this… where are you… going?”

Gulp… gulp… gulp..

Zhou Ze felt as if the lake beneath him, which had been as solid as the surface of ice, had suddenly tumbled down, and his entire body had fallen into the lake as well.

For a moment..,

a suffocating sensation overwhelmed him. It was as if countless hands were desperately covering his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, causing him to lose all sense of the outside world.

The only impression he had was the last question that remained in his ears.

“Phew…”

Zhou Ze sat up subconsciously. Had he woken up from his dream?

Perhaps it was because he was a “Ghost”, so when he dreamed, he would always return to hell. But who was that woman who was dressed like the Faceless Woman?

From her voice, it did not seem to be the faceless woman.

Zhou Ze did not know the details of what happened in Chengdu that day. The Little Loli had treated that day as a taboo. She did not want to talk about it, and Zhou Ze had also tried to ask her, but the Little Loli’s reaction at that time was that she did not want to recall what happened that night even if he killed her, so Zhou Ze gave up.

“Yingying…”

Zhou Ze opened his mouth,

he wanted Yingying to pour him a glass of water,

but he was completely stunned,

he wasn’t lying on his bed in the bedroom on the second floor of his bookstore,

instead, he was lying on a shabby straw mat,

beside him, there were numerous people who were either leaning against the wall or lying there in tattered clothes. When he spoke, the others were also looking at him.

The dream wasn’t over yet,

he had not woken up,

no..,

when Zhou Ze raised his head and saw the iron bars in front of him,

he realized that..,

it was not just the dream that had not ended,

it was this dream,

it had just begun.

“Crash… crash…”

In the distance,

the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground could be heard,

it was so familiar.

Zhang Yanfeng said that ever since that dream, for more than twenty years, in every dream, his feet had been bound with chains.

Zhou ze subconsciously lowered his head,

he lifted the tattered clothes under his body,

where were the chains?

Where were my chains?

Why didn’t I have chains? ? ?
