Criminal Investigation Files

19 years ago, September.

Only 11-year-old Bai Luorui wore a small white dress and lay on the window sill, looking out from the window of the nursing home.From her vantage point, she could see a patch of green in the grass.

The old people had their dinner early, and now it was approaching dusk, and the sky had just turned into the setting sun. They all finished their meals and walked in twos and threes from the cafeteria outside to their sleeping places.

Most of the old people were deaf and spoke loudly, making the yard noisy.There was a soundproof glass window in front of Bai Luorui, through the window, she could still hear some intermittent voices.

The scenery outside the window was monotonous and boring, but Bai Luorui watched very intently, very quietly, without moving.

Grandpa went to the cafeteria to return the plate. He will take this opportunity to catch his breath, chat with other old people, and come back after staying for a while. Grandma has already been lying on the bed early and washed up briefly, so she doesn’t need to take care of her .Every day, only this time is Bai Luorui's own.

Grandpa always said that their family was lucky enough. When grandpa and grandma came to live in the nursing home together, two beds happened to be vacant, so grandpa and grandma shared one room. Later, because her parents divorced, she also lived in. At night Sleeping in the same bed with grandma.

Bai Luorui seems to have heard her mother tell her grandpa before that grandma has a very serious illness, like lung cancer or something, and she is lying at home waiting to die, even in the hospital, it is better to come to the nursing home and wait to die.There are more old people here, they can bask in the sun and chat, maybe grandma's health will be better.

Grandpa has always insisted on taking care of grandma by himself, and did not let people send grandma to the intensive care unit.

However, grandma's health didn't get better obviously, instead it got worse every day. Sometimes she would have a fever at night, and her body against Bai Luorui's body was hot and covered with sticky sweat.When she felt extremely uncomfortable, she would cry out.Sometimes when it disturbs other people, a doctor will come and give her an injection.But Bai Luorui knew that those medicines could not save her at all, at most they could delay her illness, so that she could live a more painful life.

Now, Bai Luorui could hear her grandma's breathing, her grandma should be trying to fall asleep, but her breathing seemed to be pulling a bellows, making a heavy whirring sound.The air in the room became stale, and there was a strange smell, which was the smell of disease and old age, but fortunately she was already familiar with all these.

People, why do you get old?And why did he die?

Bai Luorui thought about this question, engrossed in it.

A bright whistle came from the door, which was the signal between Wei Hong and her.Bai Luorui's eyes moved, and she turned her gaze away. Even though it was approaching dusk outside the window, it was still bright.The room was dim, the lights were not turned on, and the curtains were drawn to block out all the sunlight.No way, grandma doesn't like sunlight, so the curtains are drawn all year round.There is only a small piece of window, which can feel a bit of light.

Bai Luorui got used to the darkness of the room before going out. Grandma coughed from behind. She had been awake just now: "Don't hang out with that kid surnamed Wei, you can learn from that kid who often comes here." , I don’t forget to study hard every day here..."

In this yard, Wei Hong is a stinky kid who is tossing around. He has poor grades and skips classes at school, and the child who is often brought here is a different kind of child. Bai Luorui doesn't know whose family he is, only knows that he appears occasionally. In a nursing home.

In the last few months, I have seen him every month. He is fair and good-looking, a clean young boy, and he is polite to others. He is a good boy in the mouth of all the old people.Bai Luorui likes him, he has a good smell, which is different from the smell of these old people.She asked him, and he said his surname was Gu, and his name was Gu Zhibai.

Bai Luorui walked forward, pretending not to hear the words behind her, she carefully locked the door.

At the bottom of the stairs at the end of the corridor, Wei Hong and Du Ruoxin had been waiting there a long time ago. One of these two friends was 12 years old and the other was only nine years old. Wei Hong was still holding a frog he caught today, because Running in the yard all year round, he was tanned, but the whites of his eyes were shining brightly.When the two saw her approaching, Wei Hong got up and threw the frog on the ground, raised his head and said to Bai Luorui, "You really decided? Are you going to find Dr. Xia?"

Bai Luorui nodded, after dinner today, this is the time they had already agreed upon.

Du Ruoxin held Bai Luorui's hand, recalling her previous plan, she backed off a little: "I'm afraid, let's not go..."

"You promised me a long time ago, doesn't it count if you want to talk now?" Bai Luorui's voice still had the immature voice of a child, but what she said was like a little adult, with a look full of contempt. She was afraid of attracting adults. In Du Ruoxin's ear, she lowered her voice and said, "You are always like this, your parents left you here, you coward!"

These words seemed to have thorns and scratched Du Ruoxin. After hearing Bai Luorui's words, she lowered her head a little sadly.

"Whether you go or not is up to you." Bai Luorui took a few steps forward, then turned to look at the two little friends behind her, "If you are afraid, there is still time to go back."

"Whatever you do, I will follow you." After Wei Hong finished speaking, he followed her forward, his eyes shining brightly in the dark corridor.His studies were not good, and other children in the yard were isolating him and not playing with him.

It wasn't until Bai Luorui came that Wei Hong had friends.She would suddenly take his hand, the girl's hand was tender and weak, and she would carefully help him wipe the wounds from the fight.

For Bai Luorui, Wei Hong always followed blindly regardless of right or wrong.In his eyes, that little girl is like a princess. Since she is a princess, there should be knights protecting her.

Du Ruoxin snorted a few times and followed.Among the children in the nursing home, she was the youngest and timid, but she had always been Bai Luorui's follower.She didn't want to just let it go and be left behind by her best friend.Moreover, she felt that what Bai Luorui said was right. Her parents must have hated her for being cowardly and cowardly, so they left her here. If she could do something shocking, maybe they would take a second look at her

The three of them walked all the way to the doctor and nurse's building, and they knocked on Xia Weiwei's door as usual. Dr. Xia just had a rest tonight, and they were all very familiar with the dormitory that was only a dozen square meters.

Xia Weiwei just took off the white clothes he had been wearing all day and changed into his regular clothes, which complemented his exquisite figure, making him appear gentle and intellectual.With a smile on her face, she stood up and poured water for them: "Why did you guys come here together today? Are you here to ask about homework?"

All the children here know that Dr. Xia has always liked children.Children often come here to play, and she has long been used to it.There are candies for the children on the table, and they will patiently answer their homework.

"Doctor Xia, I want to ask you one thing." Bai Luorui's voice was clear and serious, as if she had made some important decision. Wei Hong and Du Ruoxin stood aside, not daring to say anything.

Xia Weiwei turned his head and looked at the child.She recognized her, this child was named Bai, and he was precocious beyond his age.She is also very beautiful, such a little girl will still get a lot of preferential treatment even in this gloomy nursing home.

Xia Weiwei asked Bai Luorui: "What do you want me to do?"

Bai Luorui's face had a calmness that didn't match her age, she said every word seriously: "I want you to help me kill my grandma."

Xia Weiwei was stunned for a moment before she was sure that she had heard correctly. This child who was only a few years old had a serious and firm expression. She didn't seem to feel that what she said was shocking, but the two little friends beside him, the boy, remained silent. , the other girl was visibly panicked, as if sensing her emotional changes, Bai Luorui took her hand.

I am afraid the children have already planned for a long time.

Xia Weiwei looked at her, her gaze gradually changed, her expression changed from soft at first to a little indifferent: "Why do you make this request?"

Bai Luorui clenched her fists, and her palms were sweating: "That's my grandma's wish. She told me more than once that she wanted to die, and she couldn't live on her own. I hope you can help me achieve it." I have only one request for her wish, which is to let her die as painlessly as possible."

Grandma trapped herself, and also trapped her. Ever since grandma got sick, Bai Luorui hadn't slept through the night. She went to school during the day and helped grandpa take care of the sick when she came back from school.The seriously ill grandma is sensitive and irritable, and she will throw a tantrum when things go wrong, and sometimes she will cry hysterically.She drew all the curtains and was unwilling to talk to people.She said her life shouldn't be like this, she said she had lived enough, she said she wanted to die more than once.

"Do you think it's good for her to kill her?" Xia Wei held the water in her hand. She used a disposable paper cup, which was originally poured for these children, but now she didn't hand it to them. She lowered her head Take a sip.

Although she killed people, she knew exactly what she was doing. These children, who were just in their teens, had no idea what these words meant.

Although Xia Weiwei sometimes hates herself, she still has a trace of humanity, and she doesn't want to involve these children. She shook her head and refused: "I am a doctor here, a person who treats diseases, I can't promise you, I don't know why you would make such a request."

Xia Weiwei put down the water glass in his hand: "Let's go, after you leave this door, don't say such stupid things to others."

Bai Luorui seemed to have expected to be rejected a long time ago. She raised her head and looked at Xia Weiwei with aggressive eyes: "We know your secret. If you don't agree to me, I will tell you what you did in the intensive care building. police."

Xia Weiwei narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, what did I do in the intensive care building?"

"You killed someone there." Bai Luorui said in a deep voice, "We saw you hammer nails into the old man's head and inject medicine into it."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Du Ruoxin felt goose bumps on her arms.She looked at Bai Luorui with some fear, regretting telling them what happened before.

Once they were playing hide-and-seek, and Du Ruoxin hid in the curtain of a patient in the critically ill building. Perhaps because of her small stature, Xia Weiwei didn't notice her existence. She heard footsteps in the room and saw Xia Weiwei came to the bedside, tortured the old man and injected something. The paralyzed old man could only make a weak sound, accepting such cruel torture.

Xia Weiwei then recorded these in his notebook.

The terrified Du Ruoxin told her two best friends about this matter. She was bewildered and hoped that they could tell the adults together, but Bai Luorui told her to keep quiet.

From that day on, they began to pay attention to Dr. Xia's whereabouts. Every time Xia Weiwei went to the intensive care building alone, some old people would die, and some old people would have more scars on their bodies.They determined that Xia Weiwei was doing secret things here.

She is killing people!

She is experimenting with how to kill people!

At that time, Dr. Xia's eyes were as they are now, so cold that those who knew her almost couldn't recognize her.

Xia Weiwei looked down at Bai Luorui with great interest: "Do you know what you are talking about? Are you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"

Bai Luorui said: "If I came alone, I might. But now we have three people, if you want to kill me, they will immediately run out and call someone. Even in the future, if you kill us all, they will definitely You wouldn't do that if you aroused suspicion."

It is normal for old people to die in nursing homes, but children, and three children at one time, will definitely attract people's attention.There is no way she can get rid of them all together, as long as someone is alive, she can spread her secret.

Xia Weiwei smiled: "So that's why you brought your little friend here?" Then she looked at the three children in front of her, and her tone softened, as if what everyone talked about just now was just a joke, "I Didn't do anything, you can say what you want to say, those old people died of natural causes, see if the police believe what you say, or believe what I say. You better go back now, or I will be with you Your parents have complained."

Du Ruoxin pulled Wei Hong to get up, but Bai Luorui did not move: "Doctor Xia...then I will tell the old people about this and let them know that you are going to kill them. When the time comes, someone will kill you." I came to investigate." She looked directly into Xia Weiwei's eyes, "Even if they can't find evidence for a while, they will definitely be on guard and careful with you, you can no longer kill people here."

What she said is not wrong, once the immediate interests are involved, people will pay more attention to their own lives, the police will not believe the words of the children, but they will believe the words of the old people.Even if it's just gossip, it can still be a sharp weapon to kill, not to mention, she might have left some clues somewhere.

Bai Luorui stared at Xia Weiwei closely, she didn't like her, she thought she was cruel and sick, but she needed such a teacher.She wants to get what she needs, to do what she wants to do.

Xia Weiwei looked down at Bai Luorui from Xinxin. In the child's eyes, she saw something different. It felt like a hunting beast met its own kind. She was a little shaken: "If I do Well, what's the benefit."

Bai Luorui knew that her chance had come, and now she had to convince Xia Weiwei. She blinked, with a childlike innocence on her face, but she was extremely serious: "I can help you with things. Even said, we can help you Do things. We are children, not so noticeable, we can help you to follow, help you do a lot of things that you can't do alone."

Xia Weiwei looked at them, as if considering whether to agree to her: "But, how do you make me believe that you will keep a secret?"

Bai Luorui's voice was clear: "We knew about you murdering a long time ago, but we didn't tell your lord. This is our choice. Now that we ourselves have been involved, then we are accomplices. Let us confess you. We will be implicated as well.”

"What about you two?" Xia Weiwei asked again.

"I'll follow her." The boy quickly stated, his tone was a little proud, as if he was going to do something exciting and brave, "Isn't it a dead person? I live with my grandfather in this nursing home. The five-year-old I have seen dead people since then. Some old people are just waste of resources."

Du Ruoxin rolled her eyes and looked at her two little friends. She twisted her body, her competitive spirit made her unwilling to lag behind: "I... I can help you watch the wind. That's what I'm best at. I play hide-and-seek. , they couldn't find me."

Xia Weiwei stared at the three children in front of him. Tong Yan Wuji, they seemed to have no idea that he was volunteering to become an accomplice and executioner, and they still didn't know what kind of life they would face in the future.

Xia Weiwei was silent for a few seconds, then she nodded and looked at Bai Luorui: "Okay, I can help you."

That was the day their lives changed.

Since then, Bai Luorui has seen many people die. Sometimes the death of a person is a long and tortuous process that takes months or even years. The flesh and blood are cut from the human body, as long as there is still a breath, as long as the heart is still beating, as long as the brain waves are not in a straight line, they can linger on.

Sometimes killing a person is an extremely simple process. It only takes an injection, a rope, and a knife. In a few minutes, the soul is like the liquid in the container, leaking away, and the life is gone. , separated by yin and yang.

She stayed by Xia Weiwei's side for a whole year.Like a best student, not only has he learned all of Xia Weiwei's methods, but he is even better than others.

It's just that she still has one more thing to do...

In August of that year, Bai Luorui, who was only 12 years old, made an anonymous call to the police.

Demons should go to hell.She was sure that there was no trace of what she had done. She was confident that even if Xia Weiwei was arrested, she would not confess to them or implicate them.That woman is like a lunatic. No one will believe those crazy things and the things they have participated in.

Since then, the matter of the Wushan Nursing Home has finally been uncovered.

Even the questioning that Bai Luorui was afraid of did not come, Xia Weiwei disappeared, she didn't know where she fled, no one knew, they had participated in those things, they were safe...

19 years later.

Bai Luorui, who was sitting in the car, looked out of the car as she did when she was a child.

The car stopped when it passed a red light. Bai Luorui, who had escaped from her memories, looked up. Longyue Nursing City was coming soon. From this angle, it really looked very similar to Wushan Nursing Home.

The bustling city was reflected on the car window. In the traffic, the sound of the car whistle was a bit harsh. Bai Luorui looked at the building, dazed. She remembered that she had helped Xia Weiwei hold down her grandmother's hand .At that time, grandma looked at her, obviously it was the medicine with the fastest effect, but the veins on her neck were exposed, her eyeballs were protruding, she hesitated for several seconds before she died, and finally she called out: "Luo Rui!"

That was the last sentence my grandma said.

Then she went to the bathroom and washed her hands repeatedly until they were flushed.

At this moment, Bai Luorui looked down at her hand. She unconsciously twirled the bracelet on her hand. It was a relic left to her by her grandma. From the time she was ten to now, with the passage of time, this bracelet has long been It was small, but she couldn't bear to take it off.

The grandma at that time should have been pleasantly surprised.

Grandma just doesn't have time, listen to her explain this clearly, if she understands, she will smile like she does every time she gets [-] points in the test, hug her and say: "My Luo Rui is doing really well."

She wouldn't blame her. Grandma obviously lived in such pain and discomfort. She often told her that she was going to die and wanted to die.

All she did was to end this pain as she wished.

She was brought up by her grandma since she was a child, and she loved her grandma, even more than other people. Only she understands her pain, and only she can help her end that pain!

After growing up, Bai Luorui discovered that there are tens of millions of families in this world, and many people have to endure this kind of pain.

Life can be measured by a formula, when the pain is greater than joy, when you are powerless on the verge of terminal illness, when you are too old to drag everyone down...

People should die when they deserve to die.

But some people want to die, but they don't have the courage to die, they don't know how to die, and no one helps them. How helpless and pitiful are those struggling old people and those families stuck in the mud?So she came to help him, to help them, and that's what she's doing now, and it's a great thing, and it's something she had to do.

She is completely different from Xia Weiwei. Her kindness in her heart saved those people from suffering.

Bai Luorui sighed, and looked out of the car window, the car was about to stop, and her destination was about to arrive.

She sat up straight and looked forward. Bai Luorui was still thinking about that question in her heart, and she still hasn't found the answer: Why do people get old?And why did he die?
