Chapter 702 - 295: This Dream Isn’t the Murderer’s! Unexpected!

Chen Han was a bit puzzled by Huang Xin’s words: "Captain Huang, what happened?"

Huang Xin quickly explained: "Patriarch Chen, something outrageous has happened. Several tourists came to the tourism office this morning to report that they all dreamt of a murder scene last night."

Indeed, the Chen Family now boasts a large number of tourists. Their tourism patrol unit was upgraded to an office, and due to his previous contributions, he naturally achieved what he desired.

The office’s station is being constructed at Shangyuan Village, but it’s not yet completed.

Once finished, he’d like to apply with Patriarch Chen to keep the Chen Family’s resting station nearby to handle some internal tourist disputes more efficiently.

"What exactly happened?" Chen Han was surprised.

If someone dreamt such a dream, they were either psychologically disturbed, genuinely witnessed the scene, or possibly the perpetrator themselves.

Huang Xin explained: "All the tourists gave the same account: someone dissected two bodies and applied some chemicals to them, and they said the killer saw them appear and immediately committed suicide."

"But the logic seems off; if seen dissecting bodies, shouldn’t the killer silence witnesses? Not killing themselves without doing anything, a killer who dismembers bodies shouldn’t have such fragile psychological pressure. The key is, this was just a dream...,"

As he spoke, he glanced at Patriarch Chen.

After all, he had read online about tourists sharing dreams, and he believed in it more than those online, being familiar with the Chen Family.

Receiving the report from the tourists today made him even more convinced.

Thus, he was very expectant.

"Let’s see those tourists." Chen Han said, walking out of the courtyard.

Huang Xin immediately understood the meaning. The Chen Family indeed has this magical aspect, and he quickly followed.

Soon, Chen Han and Huang Xin reached their resting station. Inside, Huang Xin was asked to bring over one of the tourists to inquire.

Zhu Ruxue had quite an exhilarating night, dreaming of beating that scumbag with her best friend, and witnessing a murder and dismemberment.

This confirmed for her and her friend that they truly could share the same dream at the Chen Family.

Moreover, unlike typical dreams, they could clearly remember what the dream was like after waking up.

This suddenly reminded them of virtual games often discussed online; it felt similar.

The key was she and her friend encountered tourists from last night’s dream. When they talked, they were stunned.

One by one, they began cursing those ignorant folks online who claimed it was fake, saying it was Liu the Tycoon’s hype—this was obviously real now.

So, she suggested reporting to the police, no one knowing how the murder and dismemberment happened.

Originally, she thought about how to explain such an absurd matter, claiming to have seen a crime in a dream.

She had prepared a slew of explanations.

Little did she know, before she and others could explain, Director Huang hurried off after barely hearing of the incident.

Until she was brought over again by Director Huang for questioning.

Initially, she prepared to repeat her explanations mentally, but then she saw Patriarch Chen.

"Repeat everything you saw last night." Chen Han directly used the Joyful Union True Words Technique.

Zhu Ruxue hadn’t reacted before she truthfully started recounting.

Especially when it came to the murder and dismemberment dream: "As we came out of the church, we saw a man handling corpses with a bloodied saw, pouring numerous chemicals."

"We were stunned by the sight; unexpectedly, the killer committed suicide upon seeing us—however, the killer’s face was blurry, and we couldn’t see clearly."

Upon finishing, she regained her senses to find Patriarch Chen had already stood and headed outside.

Huang Xin quickly followed, leaving Zhu Ruxue in bewilderment.

"Patriarch Chen, what does this mean?" Huang Xin came out and immediately asked.

"We can rule out the killer dreaming themselves; it’s uncertain if a psychologically disturbed person or a witness had the dream, but most likely a witness." Chen Han deduced from the female tourist’s description that the killer was an NPC within the dream, coupled with a blurred face, making it unlikely to be the dreamer.

The key is, a murder happened, making the killer real. Entering the Chen Family, they couldn’t escape the influence of Minor Punishment, Major Warning.

Now, two possibilities exist: if it’s a psychologically disturbed person’s dream, it seems off, such individuals aren’t typically devout to deities.

Thus, a witness is the most probable, possibly they faced immense pressure from the event, resorting to spirituality for solace, seeking psychological comfort, though troubled, occasionally spurring nightmares.

"How do we find the person?" Huang Xin asked instinctively.

"They’ll need to spend the night at the Chen Family, continuing the nightmare." Chen Han simply remarked before leaving for Little Uncle’s kitchen to prepare medicinal cuisine.

At lunch, Little Uncle said: "Xiaohan, yesterday I took people to the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea’s Danglu Room to set up several Iron Halberd Pot Stoves; when will you produce the Refined Spirit Tea?"

Xiaoyu excitedly asked upon hearing this: "Brother, have you researched another Spirit Tea? Our Chen Family only has Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea right now; renowned specialty products are a bit scarce."

"This afternoon!" Chen Han scheduled a time.

As afternoon arrived, Xiaoyu, Xiaomi, Little Uncle, Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng all came, curious about the Refined Spirit Tea.

Chen Han continued recording an abstract video, saying: "The Chen’s Workshop Hall Master has crafted the Spiritual Essence Iron Halberd Pot Spirit Stove. Now I’ll collect Qi Yang Spirit Grass and start refining the Refined Spirit Tea."
