Molly felt a little heartache when she looked at the vicissitudes of life and haggard man in front of her. Is this still the high-spirited old classmate? He wore a big black suit and a red tie, his long hair was messy, his angular face showed a gloomy look, and a few stubble came out and stuck to his slightly drooping mouth. He should be as old as himself, but a man in his thirties has a face nearly fifty years old. Molly is a little curious, what made him like this, and why did he come to consult himself?
The first treatment in the office is still vivid? At that time, Yao Bin curled up in a chair with a teacup in his hand. The warm sun in March shone on his face, but he didn't seem to feel any warmth. Under Molly's repeated questioning, I heard Yao Bin's weak and trembling voice: "My daughter is back!" " "From Yao Bin's mouth, Molly suddenly fell into an ice cave. Yao Bin's daughter died a week ago, and Molly even attended the funeral. Can we say that Yao Bin is so sad that he is ill? Molly quickly diagnosed Yao Bin, which is a typical manifestation of paranoia. It is not difficult to cure him, but he must accept the fact that his daughter died, and the best treatment is hypnosis, but Yao Bin chose medication.
To Molly's chagrin, Yao Bin didn't get better after the first stage of treatment, so Molly deliberately started the second stage of treatment ahead of schedule.
"Yao Bin, can we talk now?" Molly received her second treatment in this quiet and elegant cafe. She looked at Yao Bin's dim eyes and asked with concern. At this moment, I don't know who suddenly opened the door on Molly's right rear. The doorbell on the door suddenly rang, and there was a chilly spring chill wrapped in it. Molly tightened the neckline, just felt a little warm, only to see Yao Bin sitting opposite suddenly became nervous, her hands clenched, her nails almost pierced the meat, and she trembled violently. In that case, it would be like seeing a ghost. Molly was too scared to go out of the atmosphere. It was a long time before Yao Bin calmed down.
Molly couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with you?"
Yao Bin wiped the sweat on his forehead with a napkin, turned pale and stared at the front with distracted eyes. He took a sip of coffee and said with a forced smile, "Nothing!"
Molly made up her mind to find a chance to give him hypnotherapy. Molly added milk to the coffee with a spoon, and the white liquid quickly sank into the brown coffee. Molly stirred gracefully in the ceramic coffee cup with a spoon, making it tinkle and crisp, and the aroma of coffee soon dissipated. Molly took a deep breath and was intoxicated.
Molly suddenly felt the table shaking. Looked up, she saw Yao Bin staring at his hand stirring coffee, eyes red, hands holding a square tea table, shaking violently like just now. Molly suddenly realized that he seemed very afraid of the crisp sound. Looking at Yao Bin's twisted face, his heart ached and his hand involuntarily wanted to stop. But she had a brainwave. Instead of stopping, she changed the rhythm, just like playing a symphony.
Yao Bin has reached the brink of collapse, eyebrows screwed together, bean big sweat kept rolling down his face into the coffee cup. Molly knew it was time, and her hand kept moving. At the same time, she said in a gentle voice, "Isn't that harsh?"
Before Yao Bin could answer, Molly paused and continued, "You are very uncomfortable. You don't want to stay here for another second. Ok, I'll take you to a place now. This place is very quiet. You are lying on the endless prairie, white clouds are floating over your head, and the breeze brings faint flowers. Do you feel it? "
Yao Bin's hand slowly loosened, and Molly soon stopped tapping. Looking at Yao Bin's smiling face, Molly knew that hypnosis was successful. She quickly asked, "Is that girl in a white skirt your daughter? What is she doing? " Molly has been to Yao Bin's house, and almost all the girls in the photo album wear white skirts!
"I locked her in the room and she was drawing!"
Molly frowned and then asked, "What is she drawing?"
"She drew a man without a head yesterday and a hand with only one finger today."
Molly saw two graffiti in front of her eyes and quickly wrote something in her notebook, feeling a little blocked. "Why did you lock her up?"
This question obviously touched a painful nerve in Yao Bin. He resisted and became short of breath. He almost gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm going to lock her up, I'm going to lock her up ..." Yao Bin repeated these two sentences over and over again, shaking his head mechanically, and Molly scratched a few more times in her notes and quickly changed the question: "Yao Bin, you have released her now, and released her from your heart. ...
Before Molly finished, Yao Bin said, "No, she can't. She runs very fast. She ran desperately south. " Molly knows that Yao Bin's home is a north-south highway. "Yes, there are few people on the road and few vehicles. You run! "
"Yes, there are almost no cars at night. She runs very fast. I have been chasing her. I must catch up with her at once and continue to lock her in the house! ..... "Just then, the door of the coffee shop was opened. Molly didn't know whether the guests had come or left, but the bell on the door suddenly made Yao Bin nervous. He stopped answering, his hands empty and stiff. Knowing that Yao Bin was about to wake up, Molly was a little flustered, and suddenly a final question popped up in her mind: "Your daughter is back. What did she do with you?"
"Every night at midnight, she would come back and hold my hand. Her hands are so cold. When she got out of the door, she went south along the road and went south! " Yao Bin suddenly woke up when the doorbell rang. Molly looked at her notebook. Hypnotherapy didn't let Molly find the answer. It is full of pages, almost full of questions.
Midnight walker
Yao Bin, who learned that he was hypnotized, was as angry as a cat that fried a pot. He threatened Molly that if he was hypnotized again without knowing it, he would immediately change his psychiatrist. Molly promised, almost swearing. She is a curious person. There are too many questions she can't find the answers to, and she won't give up.
Back in the office, Molly is thinking about what to do next. Molly took out her notebook and planned to answer the above questions one by one. Molly quickly made up her mind that she would secretly follow Yao Bin and see what kind of environment he lived in. According to the information I have at present, Yao Bin is single and his wife disappeared six months ago. It happened that six months ago, Yao Bin's career took a big turn. He used to run a company, but he was cheated by his partner overnight. Rumor has it that his wife ran away with that partner. Yao Bin now works in an advertising company. However, it never rains alone. Just two weeks ago, Yao Bin's 8-year-old daughter suddenly fell down the stairs and died. Yao Bin once again tasted the pain of losing his loved ones, and his hair turned white overnight.
Yao Bin came out of the house early. Molly saw him holding a briefcase and guessed that he was going to work. His clothes and shoes are the same as yesterday. The only difference is that he is more haggard and looks a little trance. There were not many pedestrians in the aisle, but he bumped into many people in succession. He was about to cross the street before he reached the sidewalk, and several cars almost hit him. Molly, who followed him, pinched a cold sweat for him. I really don't know how he lived in this state. Yao Bin stayed in the company almost all day and never came out for lunch and dinner. He worked overtime in the company until nine o'clock, only to see him stagger out of the office building.
Looking at the neon-lit city night, watching the cars passing through the street, and watching the young men and women dressed in fashion, it seems that they are the real masters of this city. Yao Bin's depression is incompatible with all this. Even after passing that crazy bar, he hardly stopped and went home quickly. Looking at the dim light in Yao Bin's house, Molly began to sum up Yao Bin's lifestyle. Yao Bin is a typical workaholic. Work may make him forget everything, but it won't help him out of the shadows, but it will get worse. And Yao Bin has little entertainment and no emotional sustenance. At this rate, it is almost impossible to recover.
The temperature dropped at night and the whole city was shrouded in mist. The dense buildings on both sides give people a sense of suffocation and oppression. Just after winter, gray and white occupy the field of vision, and the cold air rushes into people's hearts with a special fishy smell. Molly parked her car not far from Yao Bin's house. The question about "night" in her notebook worried Molly very much. She decided to stay here at night. Yao Bin's lonely shadow was projected on the curtain, and his hand kept pointing at something, as if there was a guest in his room who could not be seen by others.
When Molly woke up, the front window of the car was covered with water mist. Molly consoled herself that it was okay to sleep for a while (two hours). She quickly wiped away the view with her hand and looked out sleepily. Ah! Molly almost bounced out of the driver's seat and opened her mouth in surprise. There is a figure under the dim street lamp. He was stiff in his pajamas. He walked slowly, leaning forward slightly to the left, holding out his left hand, as if being pulled forward by something. Look at his face, his eyes are slightly open, his face is expressionless, and his eyes are dull. That's Yao Bin. Molly put her hand over her mouth and almost screamed. This is sleepwalking! Is his "daughter" leading him forward?
Molly got out of the car softly and followed Yao Bin. Yao Bin walked forward in a strange posture, and the street lamp kept stretching-shortening-stretching his thin shadow. A chill rushed into Molly's neckline, and Molly felt numb with cold sweat. Further on is a primary school, so the "girls" want to take their father to school. Yao Bin once said that Nana (Yao Na, the daughter of Yao Bin. In fact, I really want to go to school, but she is in poor health and can only stay at home. She cried several times and asked her father to take her to school.
But he kept on walking, instead of stopping at the school gate, he walked through the school gate and continued to go south. At this moment, Yao Bin suddenly became grumpy. He doesn't seem to want to go any further, but the "girl" still insists. The two men were wrestling, but it was obvious that the "girl" had the upper hand and Yao Bin was dragged forward. Further on is the downward ladder. Yao Bin seems to be aware of the danger. Suddenly, he pushed forward at the low altitude ahead, and then ran back like crazy. Molly, standing to the side, stared at the long stairs, as if she really saw a little girl in a white dress rolling down from them. No, why? Molly remembers that Yao Na, Yao Bin's daughter, seems to have fallen from here to die.
3 Sleepwalking kills people.
Molly found the friend who was a policeman and said he was a friend, but only the policeman thought so unilaterally, and now she has to admit this friend when she asks others. His name is Prato and he met Molly on a blind date. Molly had no feelings for him, but he fell in love with Molly at first sight and the blind date ended hastily. Molly said politely and then contacted and wanted to leave, but plateau took it seriously and asked Molly's enthusiastic aunt for her mobile phone number, so Molly was inexplicably asked out several times.
Plateau is very enthusiastic. She uses her relationship to help Molly check Yao Bin. Only then did Molly know that Plateau was the vice captain of the criminal police team, and she did things neatly and very manly. Compared with blind date, she is totally two people. Soon, the monitoring of Yao Bin's home on the way to school was discovered. Plateau and Molly sit side by side watching the surveillance video.
On the morning of February 10/0, it was the first time that Yao Bin appeared in the surveillance at midnight, but this time, he was really led by a girl in a white dress. I can see you, Yao Bin eyes glazed over. Obviously, Yao Bin was sleepwalking. Yao Bin went out of the house and didn't go far. He woke up. In a monitoring picture, Yao Bin suddenly shook, then moved like a normal person and saw himself somewhere else. Obviously, he was shocked and looked down at his panicked daughter. Suddenly he understood something. He picked up his daughter and went home.
This happened twice again, but every time Yao Bin woke up in the middle of the night and took his daughter home angrily. It is puzzling that at almost the same time, Yao Bin's dream trip lasted longer and longer, and he woke up in a different place every time. The last time Yao Bin and his daughter were under surveillance was at 1 pm on February 23rd. Yao Bin woke up, has been dragged into the school by her daughter. Yao Bin, who woke up this time, was very different in peacetime. He looked at the school and dragged her back like crazy. The girl struggled and bit him on the arm. Yao Bin eat pain, loosen the hand. The girl who broke free ran south desperately, but was immediately caught by Yao Bin. Just then, Molly looked at the display screen, and her eyes seemed to be pricked. Isn't that a long step? Yao Bin gritted his teeth, didn't know what to say, and then let go and pushed his daughter down the stairs. Yao Bin raised his head in a strange posture and looked at the surveillance camera with red eyes. His eyes seemed to pass through the screen and hit Molly's heart. Molly was scared and unconsciously leaned against the plateau.
Molly is an expert in lip language. She quickly translated what Yao Bin said in the monitoring. Yao Bin used to wake up unexpectedly and say, Nana, you must really want to go to school, right? Dad will take you to school tomorrow. Molly wondered in her mind that Yao Bin always thought that her daughter wanted to drag him to school. She was still calm, but why did she end up? ...
Soon, what Yao Bin said in the last video was also translated. Yao Bin just woke up, looked at the school gate and said, "Well, you didn't want to go to school. Go, come back with me! " When her daughter broke free, Yao Bin caught up with her and said, "Do you want to go back to your original home? You want to find your bitch mother, right? Well, go! " Yao Bin pushed her daughter downstairs. Looking at these translation results, both plateau and Molly fell silent, and no one expected the result to be like this. After a long time, the plateau turned and left. Molly pulled him, her eyes were like frightened kittens, and she asked, "Where are you going?"
Plateau patted Molly's hand and said softly, "I want the bureau to file a case quickly." Yao Bin personally killed his daughter, and may also be suspected of killing his wife who disappeared six months ago. Please wait for me here, I'll be right back. "
Molly nodded meekly. Several people who are debugging and monitoring are busy in the room. Molly looked at the screen on the wall, dazzled and bored. She scanned every monitoring screen with her eyes, and the pictures on the screen kept switching. Molly quickly recognized on a screen that it was a real-time monitoring picture of the Yao Bin community. There is no one in the street, and the time is close to the early morning. Suddenly, Molly froze, the picture jumped to the street in front of Yao Bin, and a terrible figure appeared on the screen again. Molly bounced up from her seat and ran out of the door like a frightened deer, hitting the plateau where she walked to the door.
"Quick, Yao Bin is sleepwalking again." Plateau a surprised, hurriedly pull Molly to see the monitoring room, the picture will soon be displayed, Yao Bin has passed the school at this time, is continuing to go south. Molly and Plateau almost said in unison, "Yao Bin has come to his house!" When the plateau picks up its coat, it is necessary to run outside. Molly stopped him: "I'll go with you!" " "
Plateau staring at Molly's eyes, for a long time, nodded! The car is driving at a high speed on the road. Colleagues in the monitoring room told the plateau that Yao Bin entered a villa in the suburbs and sent the position coordinates to the plateau. Just look at the plateau, step on the accelerator to the end, and a sword generally breaks through the night.
The door of the villa was not closed. Looks like Yao Bin must be in there. Plateau took out his gun and asked Molly to wait for him at the door. Looking at the back of the plateau towards the villa door, Molly suddenly had a terrible feeling, and her eyelids jumped wildly, as if it would be difficult to meet again after this farewell. Molly was about to stop him, but he had disappeared into the darkness behind the door.
The moonlight poured down, but everything was still hidden in the darkness. Under the low sky, it was frighteningly quiet, as if there was only a thoughtful living thing around. Suddenly there was a gunshot and Molly was shaking. She rushed into the villa and saw a shadow standing in the garden on the left. Molly thought it was a plateau and shouted at the shadow. Shadow slowly turned around, no! Molly barely recognized it as Yao Bin in the moonlight! What about the plateau?
The shadow slowly approached her, and he gradually walked out of the shadow of the high wall. Molly saw Yao Bin with a gun on the plateau. Molly suddenly felt that her heart was violently pulled. No, what's going on?
Yao Bin raised his gun, and the dark muzzle pointed at Molly's forehead. Will you die here? At the critical moment, something suddenly occurred to her. She quickly took off the silver bracelet on her right hand and banged it with the other one on her left hand. With a crunchy silver bracelet, Yao Bin was shocked and convulsed. The gun in his right hand slammed on the ground and ran out of the villa crazily.
The plateau fell to the ground and a shovel was inserted obliquely into his stomach. Molly's throat is blocked, and all the words are stuck in it. The plateau was dying, and her mouth was pursed, as if she wanted to say something to Molly. Molly leaned down and put her ear to the lips of the plateau. The faint breath blew on Molly's ears with hot air, and her sour eyes shed two lines of tears, like a flood that burst its banks.
Molly can hear clearly. Before she stopped breathing, Plateau said, "Never testify in court!"
Please don't wake me up.
"Never testify in court!" Molly never thought that this sentence would come from the mouth of a just Interpol captain. Molly knew that plateau must be worried about her own safety, so she hoped that she would not testify in court before she died, but how could the murderer be brought to justice without testifying in court?
Molly's fingertips still remember the flustered heartbeat at the plateau. She has been thinking, can this short-lived feeling be called love? Is a dialogue without love words love? Tears welled up in Molly's eyes, and she had an answer in her heart.
The next day, Yao Bin was arrested by the police at home. In the garden of the villa, the police dug up a female body with no head and only one finger in each hand. DNA testing proved that the body was Yao Bin's wife who disappeared six months ago.
After attending Prato's funeral, Molly stood alone in front of Prato's grave. The plateau in the photo is wearing a police uniform and laughs a little silly. The wind messed up Molly's long hair. She was dressed in plain clothes, and her beautiful face was covered with beautiful sunset clouds. Molly sobbed and read the poem vaguely:
The most beautiful scenery is that you walk here.
I turned around and saw the corner where you stayed.
……
Molly resolutely decided to testify in court. After the trial, Molly finished her statement and breathed a sigh of relief. Molly thinks she has made it very clear, at least including all the details. Molly stared at the defendant's lawyer. She wants to meet this guy who just talked eloquently. In the face of so many hard evidence, what else can he defend? Who knows, the corners of lawyer Yao Bin's mouth are obviously rising, and he looks smug. Molly's heart sank as if she suddenly felt something.
"Miss Molly, I want to ask you three questions! In the solemn court, I hope you must answer truthfully! The next answer, you just need to answer yes or no! " Yao Bin's lawyer walked slowly up to Molly, bent down, fell on the witness stand in front of Molly, looked Molly in the eye and said.
Molly was a little flustered, and her right hand clenched the fingers of her left hand. Molly suddenly understood the meaning of plateau's sentence and never testified in court again. The other party was in a hurry to ask, and Molly nodded involuntarily!
"Very well, the first question I want to ask is, you just said that my client, Mr. Yao Bin, suffers from sleepwalking, right?"
"Yes!"
"Very well, second question, my client Mr. Yao Bin has been suffering from sleepwalking for many years, hasn't he?"
"I don't know!" Molly felt ashamed that she seemed to be taking off for Yao Bin.
"No, I want you to answer yes or no. Okay, I'll put it another way. My client, Mr. Yao Bin, has probably suffered from sleepwalking for many years, right? "
"I object! The defense lawyer is obviously guiding the witness! " Although the plaintiff's lawyer spoke briefly and forcefully, he was already sweating!
The judge thought for a moment. "Sustained. Please pay attention to the way you ask questions! "
Yao Bin's lawyer nodded very gentlemanly, and his wig suddenly tilted a little, but he didn't seem to realize it. He then asked, "Miss Molly, according to statistics, the number of sleepwalkers accounts for about 65,438+0 ~ 6% of the total population, most of them are children and men, and most of the adults who suffer from sleepwalking are left over from childhood. Generally speaking, sleepwalking is not a big problem for children. In contrast, adult sleepwalking is much less, but adult sleepwalking is a pathological behavior. In other words, for adult sleepwalkers, most of them are problems left over from childhood, right? "
"Yes!" Molly knows she's finished! She felt all the questioning eyes, thought of the plateau, thought of all the dead people, and shed tears involuntarily!
"Well, your honor, what I want to say is that my client, Mr. Yao Bin, suffers from sleepwalking. According to my visit, some of his friends and colleagues can prove that he sleepwalked many years ago, which means that Mr. Yao Bin killed people in an unwitting sleepwalking state. Therefore, I believe that according to Article 18 of the Criminal Law, mental patients are not criminally responsible for the harmful consequences caused when they cannot identify or control their own behavior! "
"I object, we have evidence to prove that he killed people in a sober state ..." Molly didn't listen to the argument between them at all, and the whole trial process was muddled, only remembering that the judge finally announced an adjournment and continued the trial two days later.
In the eyes of all people complaining about poison, Molly looked absently into the distance. When the police escorted Yao Bin past her, Molly saw Yao Bin say to her with her lips: Thank you! I have a letter for you at home.
5 Karma
Driven by curiosity and longing for the truth, Molly opened the letter. Looking at the crooked words on the letter, Molly thought, sly Yao Bin, you'd better keep it a secret. Even if you write this letter with your left hand, you will definitely leave evidence to see if you don't plead guilty.
The letter wrote:
Molly, if you read this letter, it means that you have successfully helped me escape. Now that you have helped me, you have the right to know the truth. Yes, you may feel that you are being used, but the truth is, I do have sleepwalking, and I don't even know in what state I killed someone.
Six months ago, I found out that my wife was having an affair with my partner. They almost cheated me out of all my money. So I sleepwalked and killed her. Let's just say that's what your honor wants to hear. I buried her in the garden and lived in the present place with my daughter. I want to live a normal life, but one day, I accidentally saw a picture drawn by my daughter, a headless woman and a fingered hand. I didn't expect her to see me kill someone. I fell into a panic again. During the day, I locked my daughter in the house and went to work alone. At night, we sleep in the rental house together. Who knows that my daughter found out that I had the habit of sleepwalking, and even carried me outside unconscious. At first, I woke up soon. It was on my way to school. I thought my daughter just wanted to visit the school. Who knows that my sleepwalking is getting deeper and deeper, and I can't control when I wake up. I still remember that day, my daughter dragged me through the school, and I instantly understood that she always wanted to pull me home. Suddenly, I got scared. I pushed her down the stairs. There is a bell around her neck. When she rolls down, the bell jingles. I remember that voice, like killing me for a while.
There is no windtight wall in the world, and the police will investigate me soon. No way, I can only use sleepwalking to escape legal sanctions, so who will prove to me that she must have some authority in this respect. So I thought of you!
I told the truth in the first treatment. I think I did see my daughter. She held me in her cold little hands, just like when she was alive. At that time, I didn't dare to let you hypnotize me directly, because I was afraid that I said something that made you care.
You should hypnotize me for 20 minutes during the second treatment! Not surprisingly, you must be thinking, how do patients know how long they have been hypnotized? That's easy. I have a mobile phone in my pocket. It vibrates every five minutes. In the process of being hypnotized by you, four earthquakes occurred in my dream. Then I was hypnotized for about twenty minutes.
In fact, I woke up the second time the doorbell rang, and I told you the rest on purpose. Only in this way can you continue to pursue.
Oh, yes, I heard someone say that I killed that policeman. Actually, it wasn't intentional. I have no idea, but I can't figure out that I can shoot a policeman with a gun. I wonder if my cellmates will respect me if I tell them.
Don't bother to give this letter to the police. I paid a junior high school student two yuan to copy it. There are no fingerprints or DNA on it. As for the original, of course I have burned it.
The letter is written here. I believe you have understood everything. If there is an opportunity, I will personally thank you!
After reading this letter, Molly felt very dizzy. This letter is written clearly. Although the contents of this letter are sufficient evidence to convict Yao Bin, she can't prove that these words came from Yao Bin.
I didn't expect that I was completely used by Yao Binli. When I was in college, I knew that Yao Bin was deep and proficient in hypnosis. He even knew that he had subconsciously given orders to resist Molly's hypnosis. He must have subconsciously described the vibration of his mobile phone as an earthquake and tsunami to wake himself up under hypnosis. It turns out that everything Yao Bin said under hypnosis is false. Molly is conceited and clever, and never believes that the world is dangerous. Now she finally sees it. Molly tore up the letter angrily, and the smiling face of Plateau was still clearly printed in Molly's mind. She even tried to kill Yao Bin herself!
To everyone's surprise, Yao Bin died in the detention center before the second trial. It was the phone of the policeman Xiao Zhang who told Molly the news. He claimed to be a subordinate of Plateau. Listen to the voice is a capable young man, his tone can't restrain some excitement! "Sister Molly, Yao Bin died in the detention center!"
"Really? What's wrong? "
"Of course it's true. After the recess that day, we locked him up with another prisoner. That night, Yao Bin was bitten by him when he dreamed of swimming! "
Molly shuddered and asked, "Is that prisoner the family of the deceased who was injured by Yao Bin? Otherwise, how can you have such a big hatred with him? "
"No, another prisoner has the same mental illness as Yao Bin. He said he would become a werewolf at night. "
Molly is in distress situation! Is this karma? Even if the police arranged it on purpose, Molly would rather believe that it was karma.
When the court heard again, the judge first announced the news of the accidental death of the defendant Yao Bin, and his brother attended on his behalf. Almost everyone felt carefree after hearing the news. My brother dozed off, and Molly was worried that he would suddenly stand up and walk around the court in a daze! However, this time, the lawyers of both sides hardly argued too much, and the whole trial went smoothly. Even if the judge finally acquitted Yao Bin, not many people expressed displeasure.
Of course, Molly learned that in another trial, there was also that "werewolf" who would live in a mental hospital from now on.
