In the temporary reception room of the Security Bureau, Jing Xiangming woke up and turned around.
There was a cup of steaming tea in front of him.
"Mr. Jing, you're awake."
Sitting opposite Jing Xiangming are Lin Jie and Meng Dongxia.
Jing Xiangming still seemed to be unconscious. His hands were trembling slightly as he held the tea cup and looked at the surrounding environment in confusion.
"Here is..."
Meng Dongxia replied: "This is Qidao City Security Bureau, Mr. Jing, do you still remember what you did today?"
Jing Xiangming was stunned, his shoulders slumped, and he fell into silence.
Yu Zhesen looked at the surveillance screen in the reception room from next door and shook his head helplessly.
Chu Yuexi took two glasses of water from the water dispenser and handed one to him: "What should I do? He doesn't seem to want to say anything."
"Apathetic, confused, and difficult to communicate." Yu Zhesen commented.
"Is it because of the influence of dream powers?" Chu Yuexi's low tone contained sympathy, "What kind of dream did Mr. Nightmare sell him? How could he linger so much?"
"Dreams are the projection of inner wishes."
"So naturally there will be a strong attraction... What is difficult to achieve or obtain in reality can be achieved in dreams."
Yu Zhesen nodded: "Didn't the guys I met in the video game city say that being immersed in that kind of dream is more addictive than getting high?"
At this time, Claire opened the door and came in, said to the two of them, "It's a hard day today", and then also looked at the surveillance screen.
Under the persuasion of Lin Jie and Meng Dongxia, Jing Xiangming took a sip of hot tea. After a few minutes, his eyes regained some vitality.
However, he still refused to answer any questions.
Just when Lin Jie and Meng Dongxia thought that Jingxiang Ming would remain silent, he took the initiative to make a request.
"I want to sleep."
Jing Xiangming's request was very simple. He wanted to sleep, and he didn't mind any way to fall asleep.
"Sleeping pills, sedatives, whatever, or you can knock me out... please..."
Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi, who were watching the surveillance next door, both showed surprised expressions.
Claire showed a well-informed calmness: "Jing Xiangming's condition seems to be no different from that of a drug addict, or even a little worse."
This desire to sleep is like a drug addict's desire for drugs.
"Instructor, should we take compulsory measures against him in this case?" Yu Zhesen suggested, "Whether it is for his own safety or for the sake of public security."
"When will his wife come?" Claire asked.
"Maybe she's already on the way." Chu Yuexi answered, "I have contacted her before."
"If Jing Xiangming is still like this after his wife comes, let them go back." Claire made a decision.
Yu Zhesen turned his head in surprise: "Let him go back like this?"
"Let him go home and sleep. After all, he is not a criminal, just a victim."
"What if he still wants to commit suicide?"
"Give his wife a reminder and ask her to take care of her. This is all we can do. Don't forget that the duty of the Security Bureau is to crack down on criminals."
Yu Zhesen stared at her for a long time, then suddenly stepped forward and said: "Instructor, please take a step to speak."
There was a look of surprise in Claire's eyes, and before she could answer, Chu Yuexi was already walking out the door.
"I'm going out first, you guys can talk." Chu Yuexi closed the door gently.
"Tell me." Claire sat down on the sofa.
"We can ask Yu Qingxue to help."
"What?" Claire thought she heard wrongly.
"We can ask Yu Qingxue to help investigate Jing Xiangming." Yu Zhesen repeated his suggestion, "Her power is telepathy. Instructor, you should have her information, right?"
Claire's expression became very strange. After pondering for a moment, she said, "How did you know? She took the initiative to tell you?"
"How is that possible? Our relationship is quite tense." Yu Zhesen shrugged, "Of course the answer was inferred from the clues she accidentally leaked."
The corners of Claire's mouth raised slightly, and she smiled playfully: "Accidentally?"
Yu Zhesen looked at the surveillance screen and said "hmm" absently.
"Yu Qingxue has been working in the bureau for five years. She can be trusted by the superiors and send her to investigate your problem alone. Do you think she is the kind of 'careless' person?"
"Maybe she wants to use this ability to put pressure on me."
"In a sense, this is also a kind of honesty."
"Honest?" Yu Zhesen disagreed.
If Yu Qingxue was honest, she would not go through his luggage while he was away.
"Getting back to the subject, I can't ask Yu Qingxue to assist us in investigating Akira Jingxiang." Claire's tone became more serious, "The Security Bureau has strict internal regulations on the use of supernatural powers, especially telepathy-type powers.
Although I also want to get the truth as soon as possible, procedural justice is more important than the truth."
Yu Zhesen can understand what she means. If a power like mind reading is abused, it will undoubtedly cause a crisis of social trust.
Everyone has their own privacy and does not want to be snooped by others. Therefore, telepathic abilities will be subject to special supervision by the Administration.
Claire's last sentence, "Procedural justice is more important than the truth," also touched him. A buried truth may be just a pity for a case, but a law enforcement that does not comply with procedural justice may cause the collapse of the entire order.
"Let's do this for now. Continue to collect information related to dream traffickers, but don't rush it." Claire said before leaving.
Compared with the previous Adventist sect terrorist attacks that almost swept the entire Qidao City, the problems caused by dream traffickers are still within a controllable range.
Yu Zhesen suddenly remembered the information he obtained in the video game city today, and hurriedly called out to Claire: "By the way, instructor, I unexpectedly received a piece of information while searching for Jing Xiangming..."

He told the secret code about sneaking into the dreamland and connecting with Mr. Nightmare.
Claire's face immediately showed a serious expression.
"I see, it is indeed very hidden to carry out transaction connections in this way." Claire commented.
"The authenticity of this... news has yet to be confirmed. After all, it came from a few gangsters." Yu Zhesen said, "It would be nice if we could verify the situation with Jing Xiangming."
But Jing Xiangming was unwilling to speak, or it could be said that his mental state had been deeply affected by the dream and he was unable to think rationally and calmly.
"Don't worry, let him recuperate for two days and see if the situation can improve."
"Instructor, there is actually another way to verify..." Yu Zhesen tried his best to make his expression look like he had carefully considered it.
What he was thinking was that since they already knew Mr. Nightmare's secret code, they could try to connect with him in his dream.
But Claire rejected his proposal without hesitation.
"This is too dangerous, I won't allow you to do this."
"I have the experience of diving into virtual space to face Fu Zhaohai and Friedheim."
"Dreams and virtual spaces have similarities, but they are completely different in nature!" Claire corrected his thoughts seriously, "For those with dream powers, they are the absolute masters in dreams. We must avoid being in each other's way.
Confrontation at home!"
"Yes...I understand." Yu Zhesen could not refute, but could only agree.
Claire patted him on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement, but he didn't hear them clearly.
The door to the control room was closed and opened again within a moment.
Yu Zhesen thought it was Chu Yuexi who was back, and just wanted to discuss the case with her, but turned around and was met with Yu Qingxue's cold and unsmiling face.
"Is something wrong, Miss Yu?"
"I just met your partner outside." Yu Qingxue crossed her arms, "She told me that you need help, but she hesitated to explain clearly, so I had to ask you."
