Maybe I can't have a normal youth

Chapter 83 Morton Orphanage

"Please help us find out the truth." After they opened all the doors of the room, a woman's voice came from the large room outside, which sounded quite normal.It shouldn't be some intentionally scary ghost.

When Zhao Bai'an saw the woman's white nurse uniform, he guessed that it was probably the female nurse who worked with Ms. Ace back then.On the way she asked for help, she also confirmed her identity as the head nurse.

"I was the head nurse at Morton, because there were so many children and so many nurses to look after, so we set up a nursing department like a hospital."

Because there is no clock in the room, and mobile phones and other items cannot be brought in.Zhao Bai'an and the others don't know how long they have spent.But it seems that the physical evidence that should be there has been almost found, and it has entered the next link.

The next thing they have to do is to find out the truth of the arson case that year. Although the head nurse seems to be a normal person, all the people involved in the story should be trapped here by ghosts.The ghost cannot die because of confusion and resentment.As long as the reasoning agency that strayed into this place helps them deduce the truth of the matter, they will be able to get out of this orphanage.

The head nurse slowly gave clues about the suspect: "I remember that before the arson, there were four children who were suspected, and their behavior was rather strange."

"Emily was the last child to come to Morton. She behaved strangely when she first stepped into the gate. In our opinion, she was very different from the children around her. She didn't like to communicate with others. , and I don’t like staying in lively places..."

"Ellen has always been Morton's little brother, and the children here basically listen to him, but since the fight happened, Ellen's status seems to be getting lower and lower, and even the orphanage has children who dare to resist him .”

"Karen is Morton's most gifted child, but because he has always been very lonely, he is not liked by children. Although we always want to help him, we are afraid that this will backfire and make the situation worse, plus He himself was very distant from us. So we just had to be patient and wait for him to grow on his own."

"The last girl, Bazaar, is the most contagious girl in Morton. Maybe you will feel strange when I say this. She is very contagious and lively. Why would I say she is a suspect? Because she Occasionally, I can see a shrewd look in her eyes, it seems that she sees the world more clearly than an adult, which makes people shudder. But we don't know where it came from..."

Listening to the head nurse's narration, Zhao Bai'an and the others understood clearly the problems that needed to be solved.Under such preconditions, it is only necessary to deduce who is the arsonist.

But since she left, they felt immediately stuck.Obviously, the previous part has been very smooth. Although I don't know the exact time, I always feel that many small tricks have been solved by three times, five times and two divisions.But in the end, it was difficult to choose who was the arsonist. The four-person team had to explore the scene again while brainstorming.

"You say, is it Karen? Come and see this way..." The first thing to re-enter is Karen's room. Karen is very talented in painting, and his creations are hung everywhere in the room.After Xu Xiao took down a few paintings from the wall, he said to the others.

She turned over all the paintings she took down, revealing the text hidden behind them.

"It's yours, Xu Xiao! This is the second time today, I'm looking for a hidden text expert!" The president couldn't help but praised her again.

It's just that the text behind this made everyone gasp.

"Disgusting disgusting disgusting hating hating hating hating hating..." Almost all the space behind the painting was filled with the words "disgusting" or "disgusting". The paper that should have been white was now almost black.Negative emotions hit everyone's senses like a black hole.

Flipping back to the front of the original painting again, it makes the original fragments of beautiful life become extremely acne.

"This kid looks lively on the outside, but actually has a dark heart." The president made a conclusion after reading it.

Xu Xiao nodded in agreement: "So I said, could it be that Karen set the fire?"

"No, I don't think so." Chen Yudi felt something was wrong in the face of such a rapid development.

He took a few paintings from Xu Xiao's hands: "Do all the other paintings on the wall have words on the back?"

"No, it's not, I've seen them all, only these are on them." Xu Xiao casually flipped through the remaining few paintings on the wall for others to see, and sure enough, there were white and ordinary canvases behind them.

"It seems that something is wrong." The president nodded and motioned Chen Yudi to spread the paintings on the ground separately so that they can observe together.

Almost all of the characters appearing on the screen are children, and the immature brushwork depicts scenes of happy daily life.Each face was identically replaced by two curved eyes and a curved mouth.Everyone on the canvas looks very happy.

Under the big sun, a few children are sweating profusely eating ice cream; everyone is playing house together, as if re-enacting the story of "The Little Match Girl"; the children are holding farm tools in the fruit and vegetable garden Farming vegetables in the garden, the clothes are soaked with sweat; everyone sings hand in hand around the campfire in the dark night...

ah!That's right!

This is what they have in common!

Although Zhao Bai'an couldn't figure out the whole story of all the incidents, the sudden flash of inspiration at least allowed her to get through all the strange things in this link.

"Hot...the common denominator is heat." The last picture of the bonfire awakened Zhao Bai'an.

"What?" Xu Xiao didn't understand.

Zhao Bai'an had no choice but to give a further explanation: "There is only one thing in common among all the paintings written with words such as hate, and that is that the scene in the painting is very hot."

"So Karen probably hates intense heat very much. We need to carefully consider whether he is an arsonist." Chen Yudi continued her words.

"That's right." Zhao Bai'an nodded towards him.

Ah yes!When reading it before, she remembered something in his diary.

Zhao Bai'an found Karen's diary from under his bed again, and I have to say that it was actually well hidden.At that time, classmate Xu Xiao found it out. Judging from her performance several times, it directly shows that she is a master at finding hidden objects.

"Today is my ninth birthday, but a few days ago a fire took away all the important people around me.It was supposed to be an extremely happy day, why did everything turn out like this!I miss them so much and wish they could celebrate my birthday like they used to. 』

Zhao Bai'an turned to this page at the end of the diary, and felt nothing wrong when he read it for the first time.But for some reason, after knowing that Karen hated intense heat, the words in the diary of that day were the first thing that flashed into his mind.

After re-reading the diary spread out in her hand, Chen Yudi expressed what Zhao Bai'an was thinking: "If it is said that Karen hated intense heat after the fire, let's not mention the words he wrote behind these pictures for the time being." , then according to his depressed mood at that time, how could it be possible to paint these paintings that are full of walls full of happy coexistence with his partners?"

"That's right. But I think it's not the only place that violates harmony... But I just can't catch this erratic feeling."

After listening to Zhao Bai'an's words, Chen Yudi took the diary from her hand and continued to read those few short lines repeatedly.

If it doesn't work, forget it, maybe it's just a blind feeling.

Zhao Bai'an looked at him frowning, but he didn't say this sentence yet.Chen Yudi closed the diary and said excitedly, "Student Bai An! I got it!"

He immediately ran out of Karen's room, trotted all the way to the dean's room, searched for it, and ran back with a booklet.

"Look at this!"

He opened the orphan admission form, and on Karen's page it read: Karen, male, joined Morton Orphanage at age 11.

"11 years old!" Xu Xiao also realized something.

"It seems that this diary has been tampered with, and the number of pages has been changed." The president carefully observed the old diary bound with thread, and continued to deduce, "Karen may have experienced two fires, and the diary may have experienced two fires. The time recorded may be the reason why he lost his parents. Every year, children come to the orphanage. If we all think that they come because of the famine, we will be misled and led astray.”

"That's right, a very reasonable inference." Zhao Bai'an agreed with the president's words very much. In the early stage, he seemed to be in a bad state because he was always worried about ghosts. Now his reasoning ability seems to be on the line.

In your words and mine, Karen's story was pieced together by everyone.

"So that's how it is!" Xu Xiao's eyes lit up a lot after hearing the deduction of the three, as if he had been connected to Ren Du's second channel.

"So in this case, Karen can be said to be ruled out of suspicion. It seems that he was designed by someone, and the arsonist should be someone else." Chen Yudi came to a conclusion after sorting out his thoughts.

"That's right, that's right, I agree with what Chen Yudi said, I was too hasty in the beginning. Then who would be the arsonist?"

　In fact, I thought about the story of this escape room, which is very rich, but if I want to write it all, it is really too many words, so I made some compressions.
