A woman wanted to use water at home but found that there was no water at the tap. She went to the yard and was about to draw water from the well, but suddenly saw something that scared her.
Bai Lingxi again brought Yuan puzzled to see Howard. Howard had agreed to Bai Lingxi’s proposal to carry out a great experiment he believed would make a leap in the study of the human brain.
Because Yuan puzzled that he had misjudged when interpreting Bai Lingxi’s dreams, that is, mistaken the monster in the dream for the incarnation of Bai Menghai, but it was Bai Lingxi himself. That’s why Bai Lingxi asked him to cooperate with Howard, who is proficient in human psychology, and learn from him.
In order to make Yuan puzzled understand hypnotism, Howard decided to hypnotize him once. Yuan puzzled his unwillingness, he always let others dream. But because he had a handle in Bai Lingxi’s hands, he knew he had no right to refuse.
Chen Si, Guan Yunqi and Douzi were at the scene of the woman’s crime. The woman has been burned to death. They smelled gasoline, and Chen Si judged that the murderer had tied the woman underground, poured gasoline and burned her to death.
The mysterious pattern was found on the walls of the scene. Homicide occurred for two consecutive weeks, and the frequency of crimes by the masked men increased.
Yuan puzzled under Howard’s hypnotism. He went through a white door in his dream and returned to the master’s home. The teenager Yuan puzzled and was playing chess with the master.
Master asked Yuan Bujie to close his eyes and listen to all kinds of sounds, chess pieces, wind in the bamboo forest, and even guess the buttons on Master’s clothes through the sound.
Howard wanted to understand Yuan Bujie’s inner needs, and Yuan Bujie under hypnotism recalled the past. Let Howard find that Yuan puzzled to be wary of Master.
This is true. When he was a boy, Yuan couldn’t understand how he couldn’t remember his past. He knew it was Master who sealed his memory. The master told him that his memory was too heavy for a child, and the master couldn’t bear to let him remember them.
Yuan puzzled but still wanted to know his past, but when he had just returned to his first encounter with the master in his dream, he had to wake up painfully from his dream.
Howard believes that such a puzzled Yuan can enter the depths of Bai Menghai’s consciousness and find secret things. Bai Lingxi asked Yuan if he wanted Chen Si to come and help? Yuan puzzled immediately said that she had nothing to do with this matter!
Director Xue reprimanded Chen Si and Guan Yunqi for their incompetence and ordered them not to leak the news while handling the case, so as not to cause public panic.
But between the several murders, there is no common ground that can connect them. Chen Si and Guan Yunqi can only pin their hopes on Ziren’s autopsy results.
Ziren could only judge the time of death, and was bound before death. The list of missing persons provided by Douzi specifically marked the list of women.
Yuan puzzled at this time. He hadn’t appeared in the police station for almost a day. Guan Yunqi judged that he was called by Bai Lingxi. Chen Si asked Yuan wonder what he did? Yuan puzzled, only said that it had nothing to do with the case. Chen Si thought that they had agreed to exchange information. Now Yuan puzzled but even Wu Chu was reluctant to find it. She suspected Yuan puzzled a concealment.
Yuan puzzled that he didn’t want to get into suspicion, nor did he want to hurt Chen Si, pretending to be cold and arguing with her, making her go away angry.
Wang Binbin of Jiangcheng Daily wrote a report on the serial murder, and named the masked Jiangcheng Nightmare. However, Li Qianru reversed the attitude of supporting him before, saying that Jiangcheng Daily is not Liao Zhai Zhiyi and cannot publish unfounded reports.
Chen Si wanted to investigate the fire in Laoguishan Prison. Director Xue shirks in every possible way and warns Chen Si that this might catch her. Chen Si was firm, and Director Xue handed over the relevant materials to her.
That night, Xiao Zhen took Yuan Bujie to Bai Menghai’s house again. Bai Menghai told him that he didn’t want to interpret the dream, but Bai Lingxi repeatedly asked that his symptoms had worsened, so Lao Yuan was puzzled. He also told him that he had absurd dreams, and hoped Yuan puzzled not to take it seriously.
Yuan puzzled into the dreamland of Bai Menghai. Bai Menghai in his dream returns to the battlefield. Bai Menghai was riding on the horse, majestic, and there seemed to be nothing in the world that could make him fearful. But Yuan, who was also in the dream, asked him puzzledly, how about before?
Bai Menghai went back to the past in an instant. He was in Laoguishan Prison and was about to be shot along with some people. He remembered why he was here, fighting with the provocateur at his wedding and beating someone to death.
The gunfire rang, and the young Bai Menghai knelt on the ground in fright. But he and his companions did not die. It turned out that the prison authorities were teasing them.
They were thrown into a deep prison. Warden Song Yan set cruel rules for these new prisoners. In fact, everything must obey him.
Chen Si, Guan Yunqi, and Douzi checked the case data together. Chen Si discovered a woman named Zhang Jing in her fifties who had lived in Shanghai for a long time. She mysteriously disappeared after returning to Jiangcheng two months ago. She should be the dead. And this Zhang Jing used to be an educator in Jiangcheng Prison 24 years ago. But at that time the new prison had not been built, so Zhang Jing could only work in Laoguishan Prison, where Wang Fu, who died before, had also worked.
Chen Si also remembered how worried the prison guard who was killed earlier was because of his motherhood, and he could not find any information about his father. She thought that He You’s death might not have been caused by the murderer trying to help Wu Chu escape from prison, but because He You had been the target of murder from the beginning.
Douzi found out that He You’s father made a fortune and abandoned He You and his mother. His father’s surname was Song, and he was Song Yan, the warden of Laoguishan Prison.
Douzi noticed that the pattern of the masked man was very similar to the character gui in seal script.
