Just as Xiao He was at a loss, Peng Wenyin made a call. Not long after, a colleague from the technical department opened Lu Xiaoshan's cell phone password. He was shocked by what he saw.

So it turned out that Lu Xiaoshan and Tan Wenshi really were lovers. Tan Wenshi had given her the apartment where Lu Xiaoshan had died, so that they could contact each other privately and not be sent there.

There was no lack of signing during this period of time, but the two of them were probably being too careful. Although there were some records on her phone, they didn't know what kind of agreements she had signed.

Xiao He had already confirmed the relationship between the two of them. Now that it was confirmed through Peng Wenyin's phone call, he wasn't too surprised. The two of them chatted for a bit before hanging up.

He rubbed his temples. Perhaps it was because the case was too heavy recently, but his brain always had a faint ache. Xiao He got up and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer. Now, he had to drink a bit of alcohol to be able to sleep better.

Sure enough, after drinking a bottle of wine, Xiao He's tiredness hit him and he quickly fell asleep.

Not long after, Xiao He, whose eyes were tightly shut, suddenly lifted up the blanket. His forehead was dripping with fine beads of sweat, and his expression became extremely sinister. His mouth opened and closed without anyone knowing what he was saying.

Ah!

Xiao He's body shook as he abruptly opened his eyes. He stood up and leaned against the mattress. His thin lips were bloodless. He opened his mouth wide and took a few deep breaths.

Since the clown case, whether he wanted to admit it or not, it had affected his life, because he always had the same nightmares, and when Xiao He heard that he slept a little more soundly over a glass of wine, he had tried it out, but it worked, and he'd had a beer every night before he went to bed, and he hadn't had a nightmare for three or four days.

But tonight, he suddenly dreamt of that thing!

Xiao He turned on his phone. It said three in the morning, and he didn't want to dream about it again. He stretched out his arm, switched on the light, picked up the book on the bedside table, and studied it again.

Soon it was seven o'clock. Xiao He rubbed his eyes, got up and did a few push-ups, then jogged for half an hour on the spot. His body was covered in sweat, then he took another shower, packed up, and drove to the police station.

Colleagues from the homicide team came in one by one. Ning Ruonan saw Xiao He with dark circles under his eyes like a panda at first glance, ”Captain Xiao, did you not sleep last night?”

Xiao He laughed dryly and scratched his head. Naturally, he found it embarrassing to say that he couldn't sleep because of the nightmare. He mumbled a couple of times and Ning Ruonan once again blurted out, ”Pay attention to your body!”

He nodded. When everyone arrived, he held a meeting and briefly summarized yesterday's gains and what he had to do today. He brought Ning Ruonan to Wukang once again.

The girl at the front desk was still the same one from yesterday. With her sharp eyes, she saw Xiao He and Ning Ruonan walk in, stooping and preparing to slip away. Unexpectedly, Xiao He had a better expression, she was stopped just after taking two steps.
