Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

131: 131. LaboratoryLu Feng’s words stunned Professor Luo Ze and caused the students to stop their discussions and look at him.

”What I mean is, the dolls shouldn’t be substitutes, but rather what he considers perfect works. He saw reflections of his own past and his own experiences in those victims, so he felt they needed to be purified... As for that bench...”

Lu Feng paused and said, ”Perhaps... that wasn’t a crime display stand, but a safe, tranquil sanctuary in his twisted mind. So he placed the purified dolls there as a distorted return, to make them better, to save them...”

When Lu Feng finished speaking, the students’ brows furrowed, many looking bewildered and deeply puzzled.

This speculation was too bold, too subversive, wasn’t it? It completely disregarded normal logic. Could it really be like this?

Unbelievable!

Professor Luo Ze also fell into deep thought, repeatedly chewing on Lu Feng’s words in his mind, and his expression gradually changed slightly.

Shocking!

”So, cleaning the scene wasn’t counter-reconnaissance, but... purification? Placing the dolls wasn’t a provocation, but... satisfying an inner need? This is an extreme form of obsession... and it’s more like... a child’s way of thinking!”

”It’s based on childhood emotional connections!”

Professor Luo Ze suddenly slammed the table, venting the shock he felt, and exclaimed excitedly, ”That’s absolutely right! If we approach it from this angle, it makes sense. We’ve been focusing our investigation on the victims’ social relationships, but we overlooked the significance of that area to the killer. Thirty years ago, that area was an old dormitory district, but it was later converted into a park! The location of that bench... it’s very likely to have an extraordinary meaning to him.”

Professor Luo Ze was inwardly excited. At this moment, he had no mood to teach. He hastily packed up his laptop, while saying to the stunned students below, ”Class, today’s discussion was very successful, especially that student. He directly resolved a knot in my heart and gave me great inspiration. It’s very valuable. I must go to the police station now to check historical archives... Ahem, for the rest of the time, self-study!”

Then, to the astonishment of the entire class, Professor Luo Ze, spry as ever, ran out.

A brief silence fell in the classroom, followed by a burst of excited chatter as everyone simultaneously looked at Lu Feng.

”Awesome, my friend, how did you come up with such an imaginative idea? How could you think of such a tricky angle?”

”Yeah, could it be that a cold case that couldn’t be solved for decades was cracked by a few words from you?”

”You’re amazing, buddy! What a fresh perspective!”

Facing everyone’s questions, he closed his textbook and gave a harmless smile, saying, ”I was just guessing. The proving part is up to the teachers and the police anyway. It’s not certain whether it’s right or wrong.”

He just thought it was a coincidence, so he offered a few reminders. As for whether Professor Luo Ze could find the killer in the end, that was none of his business.

Because the killer was already gravely ill and didn’t have many years left to live.

Although Lu Feng said that, running off the department’s professor on the first day of class made his classmates even more curious about him.

Lu Feng ignored this minor interlude. Seeing that it was almost time, he stood up and was the first to leave the classroom.

After intensive renovations during the short holiday, the experimental building showed little change from the outside, but its internal layout had undergone a complete transformation.

Heavy trucks frequently entered and exited, transporting various large, precise instruments and equipment, with workers busily moving them.

The school did not strictly restrict access, so curious students often gathered to watch, pointing at the seemingly expensive equipment.

”Sir.”

Yu Tianxiong was already waiting at the entrance. He knew Lu Feng didn’t want to expose his identity, so he cleverly stood behind a large pillar.

He looked very sneaky.

Lu Feng smiled and walked over: ”Relax, Old Yu, right now I’m just an ordinary student here to watch the excitement. How are things going here, is everything smooth?”

Seeing no one was paying attention, Yu Tianxiong whispered, ”Very smoothly. Qin Tian’s abilities far exceed expectations. Both his technical control and team management are well-organized. In a while, once everything is on track, I can fully step back and only be responsible for macro strategy and funding.”

”That’s best.”

Lu Feng nodded: ”What about the progress? Roughly when can we expect results?”

Yu Tianxiong gestured to the side: ”Sir, this way, please. I’ll take you to see the core area.”

He led Lu Feng, swiped a card, and entered the elevator, going directly to the third floor.

This entire floor had been opened up and converted into an ultra-purified pilot production area.

Through the long glass observation window, one could see a vast, technologically advanced space inside.

Fully automated robotic arms, precision conveyor belts, and various complex testing instruments were neatly arranged, forming a small-scale production line.

Several researchers in full dust-proof suits were inside, debugging equipment.

”This is Qin Tian’s entire life’s work, and also where we’ve currently invested the most capital.”

Yu Tianxiong explained in a low voice, with a hint of pride, ”Almost all the money has been poured into this pilot line. Once successful, we can immediately industrialize the technological achievements and mass-produce!”

Lu Feng watched as Qin Tian, completely absorbed, led several core assistants, carefully debugging a key piece of equipment in the laboratory.

His movements were gentle, his gaze focused, as if he were handling a priceless treasure.

Lu Feng couldn’t help but smile: ”It seems Lao Qin is really holding back a lot of energy.”

Yu Tianxiong also smiled: ”Of course he’s anxious. He was previously denied, ridiculed, and even ostracized by the entire industry. Now, with the stage and resources you’ve provided, he wishes he could use one day as two, to achieve results as soon as possible and prove himself to everyone who once looked down on him!”

In the lab, Qin Tian seemed to sense something and subconsciously glanced out the glass window, but the corridor was empty.

He shook his head and continued to immerse himself in his work.

”Remember, the primary task of our laboratory is to overcome the challenges of mass production, not to publish papers. At the same time, the patent layout during the process cannot be neglected; every subtle improvement must be locked down. I know many people outside are not optimistic about us right now, which is good, we can use this time difference.”

At the end of the corridor, Lu Feng casually pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to Yu Tianxiong.

Yu Tianxiong took the card and saw two strings of numbers written on it.

”This is an overseas bank account with approximately 1.4 billion in it. Process it as soon as possible and invest it.”

Yu Tianxiong paused slightly, a hint of hesitation in his voice: ”Sir, this money...”

Although he knew Lu Feng had extraordinary means, suddenly producing such a large sum of money still shocked him.

”Xu Jianfang’s private stash.”

Lu Feng’s lips curled into a teasing arc: ”Consider it his last small contribution to technological progress.”

Yu Tianxiong instantly understood, no longer asking questions, and carefully put away the card.

This money would undoubtedly greatly accelerate the research and development process and the layout of the shantytown renovation project.

Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder, ”By the way, Old Yu, Tingfeng Capital’s operations are expanding. Don’t try to do everything yourself. Set up a few more core departments and cultivate some capable people. I don’t want my CEO to be overworked; you still have your own revenge to exact.”

Yu Tianxiong’s heart warmed, and he whispered, ”I understand, Sir. Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion and won’t delay important matters.”

Just as he was speaking, a slightly hurried sound of high heels approached from a distance.

A beautiful woman in a professional suit quickly walked over.

She first gave President Yu a refined smile: ”President Yu, you’re here. I’ve been looking for you. These few documents need your urgent signature.”

Her gaze quickly and naturally swept over Lu Feng, who was standing nearby. Seeing only a young man who looked like an ordinary student, she didn’t pay much attention, and her focus immediately returned to President Yu, her body language unconsciously leaning slightly forward, showcasing her graceful curves.

President Yu expressionlessly took the documents, quickly scanned them, and signed his name, maintaining a strictly businesslike demeanor throughout, ignoring the subtle glances the female secretary was sending his way.

The female secretary took the documents, seemingly wanting to find a topic to talk more, but President Yu had already dismissed her: ”Alright, I know. You can go back to work.”

”Okay, President Yu.”

A hint of disappointment flashed in the female secretary’s eyes, but she quickly regained her professional smile and turned to leave.

The sound of high heels gradually faded away.

Lu Feng watched the female secretary’s graceful retreating figure, nudged Yu Tianxiong with his elbow, and teased, ”Not bad, Old Yu, is spring in the air? Your new secretary... seems quite concerned about you.”

He deliberately added a subtle emphasis to the word ”concerned.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianxiong showed a helpless, wry smile and lowered his voice: ”Sir, please don’t tease me. Her name is Chu Man. She was just hired yesterday. Her resume is impressive, and her abilities seem good, but... I just feel she’s a bit too proactive. I’m having Tian Peng’s side conduct a discreet background check.”

Lu Feng smiled and said, ”No need for all that trouble. I’ll take a look and I’ll know.”
