Chapter 331 There are 24 such cases every year.

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

Qiao Qiao vomited so much she felt dizzy and disoriented.

I vomited up not only what I ate that night, but also bile. My throat felt like it had been burned.

Qiao Changdong noticed that something was wrong with Qiao Qiao in the middle of the night.

Even though the murder at the hotel had nothing to do with them and the suspect had been arrested, Qiao Changdong was still worried.

Even though Tang Feng, Wu Yu, and Wang Jun took turns keeping watch in the living room during the night, Qiao Changdong still got up several times during the night and slept very restlessly.

Every time I get up at night, my first instinct is to reach out and touch my daughter who is sleeping next to me.

Only after confirming that she was lying safely beside him, without any problems, could Qiao Changdong close his eyes and continue to sleep.

And when he got up for the fourth time in the middle of the night.

When I reached out to touch Qiao Qiao's head out of habit, I didn't expect to get a wet hand.

Qiao Qiao broke out in a cold sweat while she was asleep.

Qiao Changdong was startled and jumped up, all sleepiness vanishing instantly.

He wondered if she was having another nightmare.

Just as I was wondering whether to wake her up from her nightmare, Qiao Qiao suddenly opened her eyes wide open, her eyes filled with utter terror.

It was as if I had witnessed something incredibly terrifying.

Then, she began to vomit violently.

She vomited all over Qiao Changdong's clothes, which she had been holding, and the blanket that had been covering them.

Qiao Changdong was terrified.

Because Qiao Qiao had once told him that her body had been modified and that she was protected by spiritual power, so that ordinary illnesses in the world could be easily cured by spiritual power as soon as they occurred.

There was absolutely no chance to harm her body.

It could be said that she was immune to all diseases.

This is why, despite the serious injuries she sustained from Chen Yulian, the wounds on her forehead and stomach healed so quickly.

Moreover, after the murder occurred during the day, he and Yan Liti had confirmed it repeatedly.

Qiao Qiao wasn't afraid, nor did she show any signs of being frightened, which is why they continued to stay there.

Several times in the middle of the night, he was on guard against outsiders coming in and harming his daughter. He never expected that Qiao Qiao, who was supposed to be immune to all diseases, would have health problems.

"Why did she vomit like this? Did she eat something bad last night?" Yan Liti felt extremely distressed looking at her little granddaughter squatting in front of the trash can, vomiting bile.

She circled around Qiao Qiao, looking like she wanted to hug her but didn't know how.

Qiao Qiao was still vomiting and didn't have time to answer the concerned questions from the people around her.

Her usually rosy cheeks were now deathly pale, devoid of any color, and her eyes were filled with the fear she had carried from the nightmare and hadn't yet had time to dissipate.

The scene of mountains of corpses in her dream was so horrifying that even though Qiao Qiao didn't want to recall it, those scenes would keep replaying in her mind.

Once she thought about it, her body couldn't help but have a stress response, and she would start vomiting. The more she vomited, the more likely she was to think about it.

And so the vicious cycle continues.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here!" Just as Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti were at a loss for what to do, the door was pushed open, and Wang Jun and Wu Yu helped the doctor in.

It's no exaggeration to say it's a real piece of work.

Wang Jun and Wu Yu are both tall men, around 1.8 meters tall. The doctor is a little over 1.7 meters tall and was temporarily hired by them from a clinic near the hotel.

Because the doctor's legs were shorter than Wang Jun's and Wu Yu's, he walked a little slower.

The two men, each holding one of her arms, dragged her over, looking down on her.

In Qiao Qiao's case, it would actually be better to take her to the hospital, but Qiao Qiao refuses to go to the hospital.

Qiao Qiao knew that her condition was not due to physical reasons, but rather because the scene in her dream had frightened her; the mountain of corpses had been too much of a shock to her.

When the condition becomes too severe for the body to handle, other methods of relief are necessary.

After a thorough examination and treatment by the doctor, it was indeed as Qiao Qiao had thought: there was nothing wrong with her body; she had simply been agitated.

However, what people didn't know was that she was traumatized by a nightmare.

She assumed it was the murder that happened yesterday that had frightened her.

Yan Liti held the little girl, who had finally stopped vomiting after taking anti-nausea medicine, and felt her heart ache.

She was especially regretful: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I should have left here..."

Qiao Qiao nestled listlessly in her arms. She had stopped vomiting and finally had a chance to speak, but with so many people around, she couldn't explain herself clearly.

She could only gently squeeze the back of Yan Liti's hand with her small hand, and then, when Yan Liti looked over, she explained cryptically, "Grandma, I was really not scared. I just had a nightmare."

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti immediately understood what she meant.

Quickly tell the other people in the room to go back to their rooms and rest.

After hearing Qiao Qiao's description, Yan Liti and Qiao Changdong's expressions turned grim and serious.

"You said those children, all of them, have hearts that are..."

What followed was something Yan Liti simply couldn't describe in words.

Because it's absolutely outrageous!

That's utterly terrible.

What kind of devil could do such a thing?

"How old was the child who caused this murder? If I remember correctly, he was around ten years old?"

Qiao Changdong extracted the most crucial information from Qiao Qiao's brief description.

"What do you mean?" Yan Liti looked at Qiao Changdong.

“My baby doesn’t have those dreams for no reason. It’s obvious that each one is a hint.” Qiao Changdong carefully analyzed the connection between the previous dreams and reality.

Finally, he said, "This matter may be related to Guai Bao's dream, and Fu Tianyou should also be involved."

Unfortunately, the clues from Qiao Qiao's dreams alone are still too few.

However, just in case, Qiao Changdong and the others made a phone call to the county police station in Hongfeng Town as soon as it was light.

His original intention was to make Pei Anting pay attention to Pei Yiyang's safety.

But what I didn't expect was...

After listening to his account, Pei Anting on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time with a solemn expression.

Because, starting about a year and a half ago, a number of murder cases with the same modus operandi occurred across the country.

The victims were all around ten years old, or even younger than ten, between the ages of ten and nine.

These young men and women who died all had their hearts removed.

There are approximately twenty-four such cases per year.

On average, that's two cases a month.
