Monster 1

On weekdays, especially during class time, there were not many people in the Children's Palace. After Qiu Mingyuan showed his police officer's card at the door, he was received directly to Director Chen's office on the top floor.

Familiar office, familiar people, but this time Qiu Mingyuan obviously had no intention of practicing Tai Chi with him, he said directly: "Zhang Jing is dead, these children only had contact with each other in the summer camp class, let's get straight to the point, during that time the Children's Palace Did anything strange happen?"

Director Chen is a middle-aged man over forty years old, very bookish, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and dark cotton clothes, he looks like an honest and responsible person.

After listening to Qiu Mingyuan's words, he silently picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then dug out a file from the bottom of the cabinet behind him, and handed it to Qiu Mingyuan: "At the end of July last year, we fired a foreigner here. The hired employee, here is his information."

"Wang Zhen?" Qiu Mingyuan flipped through it, and found that it was a detailed personal information form: "Why were you fired?"

"...Some parents in other classes reported that he was harassing the students, but there was no concrete evidence for the students, and no students were actually violated. However, considering the image of the Children's Palace, we still expelled him."

"Besides him?"

"In the class of the summer camp, there was a girl who stopped coming before the final performance. The teacher who led the team said that she was originally arranged to be the main performer, but then she stopped coming for no reason. I can’t get through, anyway, the main courses are all over, so we don’t care about it here.”

"What's the girl's name?"

"Zhang Qi."

Qiu Mingyuan wrapped the file bag with white thread and handed it to Bai Qiu behind him: "Although I don't hold out hope, I want to ask, are her things still there?"

"It should still be there. Generally, the storage period for students' things is two years, and they will be discarded after two years if no one claims them."

"That would be troublesome."

All of Zhang Qi's things were packed into a 30x30x30 cardboard box. When the aunt of the dormitory management office took out the box and handed it to Qiu Mingyuan, the expression on her face seemed a bit tangled, and her hands were not loose. After a while, she hesitated and asked, "Are you the police?"

"Yes, Auntie, if you know anything, please let us know,"

"that is……"

Auntie's tone was very hesitant, as if she couldn't decide whether to say it or not.

Bai Qiu took the initiative to step forward, turned slightly sideways to meet Auntie's eyes, and said softly, "It's okay, we won't tell others. And any news you provide now may be very important to us. .”

"Can……"

"Ok?"

Auntie frowned for a long time, and then looked around for a while. After confirming that there was no one there, she glanced at Qiu Mingyuan and pulled Bai Qiu to the corner of the corridor.

"Zhang Qi, that little girl, I have an impression that she loves to smile and is good-looking. She usually greets us obediently when she meets us. We all like her very much. But...last year, one night, she...she came back It was very late, I thought that she was usually a good child, so I didn't make things difficult for her, and let her in. But... Zhang Qi's eyes were very swollen, as if she had cried, and the light at the door was not good...I..."

When Auntie said this, she seemed to be emotionally broken. She covered her mouth with her hands, and after calming down for a long time under Bai Qiu's comfort, she said in a crying voice.

"The child's neck seemed to have been strangled by someone, and her hair was wet. I asked her what was wrong, and she said it was...it was late for training...then the next morning, the little girl woke up very early, big summer Yes, he ran over wearing a high-necked dress and gave me a lollipop with a smile on his face, said thank you, and never came back.”

"Is she all right?"

"It's okay, nothing will happen." Bai Qiu patted Auntie's shoulder and comforted her in a low voice: "Auntie, this is my private phone number, if you still remember anything, just call me and tell me, okay? "

Auntie took the business card from Bai Qiu, held it tightly in her palm, nodded her head slightly, and kept saying 'yes'.

----------

As Bai Qiu is the pistachio in the office, Qiu Mingyuan rarely sees her with a dark face.The two of them returned to the police station in silence. Bai Qiu picked up a knife and started violently unpacking the boxes.

He came to Qiu Mingyuan's side and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Who am I going to ask?"

Several old men looked at each other, and decided to sit quietly across from each other, not to provoke this angry woman.

Lu Yunli looked through Wang Zhen's information and found that this young man graduated from a sports school. He is only 27 years old this year. Children's Palace, a swimming coach, is married and has a daughter who just turned two years old this year.

"what happened to him?"

"I was reported by the parents, saying that he was messing around with the children. The people in the Children's Palace were afraid that things would become serious, so they gave some comfort money and fired this person."

"Well, then..."

"The son of a bitch!"

Lu Yunli didn't even bother to roll his eyelids: "What the fuck is that son of a bitch doing?"

"This is Zhang Qi's diary. The last entry is from July 12th. It says 'I have been selected as the middle performer. I am very happy. I hope my parents can see it soon. Yes, Mr. Wang said that in order for us to perform better, he will give the three of us a special tutoring class tomorrow afternoon. I am looking forward to it. Xiaohuahua.'”

"Ah?" Fu Siqi stared at a pair of big round eyes: "What little flower?"

"...a little flower is drawn on the back."

"Three people, it can basically be concluded that the other two are Zhang Jing and Lin Zeru, but the question is, if Wang Zhen did it, why did only two children have an accident?"

"Wang Zhen has a wife." Bai Qiu put the diary on the table, took a sip of the chrysanthemum tea next to it, as if this would extinguish the fire in her heart: "Whoever woman knows that her husband is a child lover No obsessive bastard will forgive him."

"You mean, something may have happened to Wang Zhen, but no one reported it?"

"To be honest, if I were his wife, I would applaud him if he was eunuched."

"Then let's go see if his wife applauds."

"Army."

A little policeman outside the door suddenly knocked on the door. Lu Yunlin kicked the table leg, slid his chair out in the opposite direction, and waved at the little policeman.

"There is a person who surrendered himself, saying that he is the murderer of the alley dumping case."

"Yo, so self-conscious?" Lu Yunli chuckled, "What's your name?"

"He said his name is Li Yuan, and he is sitting in the interrogation room right now."

"Okay, got it, I'll be there in a while." Lu Yunli clapped his hands and called the attention of several people in the room: "Then Bai Qiu, you..."

"I'm going to catch Wang Zhen."

"...Okay, Mingyuan, you'd better go with her, don't let her kill that boy Wang Zhen on the spot." At this point, Lu Yunli paused, and specially added: "If It’s alive, try to catch it alive for me.”

--------

Li Yuan looks like he is in his 50s, with short gray hair, and his face is yellowish from working in the fume environment all the year round.There is an obvious circle of black and blue under the eyes, and the whole person looks very tired.

The air conditioner was turned on in the interrogation room, but Li Yuan was still shivering from the cold, and he kept turning his head to look around.Suddenly, he looked at the empty front and screamed, as if something rushed in front of him, he stood up staggeringly, shrunk his bony body to the corner of the wall, and held his head tightly with both hands.

"It's not me...you were almost out of breath when you came here, it's not me..."

"If you want to blame, blame that man. He put you in a suitcase and threw it away! It's him!"

"Yes, yes...you should go to him! Why are you pestering me?!"

Li Yuan's movements became more and more crazy. He stood together with red eyes, and his two hands were clasped in a circle in front of him, as if he was strangling someone's throat. 'people'.

But soon, he retreated to the corner again, and broke down crying.

"sorry Sorry……"

Lu Yunxi rubbed his chin. He suddenly remembered that someone told him before: Hell is real, it exists in everyone's heart, and it is full of bustling monsters.

If you don't look at them, they will live in peace and harmony in it.

If you notice them, they will meet your gaze.

And you will see your shadow in their dark abyss-like eyes.

You can't escape from those eyes, because in them are not only all your sick thoughts, but also your desires, the things you want most.

After Li Yuan had cried enough and calmed down, Lu Yunxi walked in slowly.

Before going in, he turned his head and said to Fu Siqi who was sitting at the door: "If I can't help beating him, remember to come in and stop me."

Fu Siqi:? ? ?I have to stop you even with your sinewy flesh.

The sound of the door being opened made Li Yuan jump up like a rabbit. He looked up in horror at the man with a bad face who came in.

"who are you?"

Lu Yunli violently pulled away the stool in front of the table, and the harsh sound of the iron stool rubbing against the ground sounded like death's scythe dragging across the ground.

Lu Yunxi sat down in a leisurely manner, raised his standard Erlang legs, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked sullenly, "What do you think?"

Fu Siqi: ...Come on, stop acting, you graduated from film school, right?

"You, are you from over there?"

"Ok?"

Li Yuan walked over on his knees, hugged Lu Yunxi's thigh tightly, raised his head and said in a begging tone, "Please, take him away, I really didn't do it."

"Did you know? People who die in vain will identify the last figure in their eyes as the person who killed them. How can you say you are innocent?"

"But, when I opened the box, he had no face, he didn't even have eyes, how could he see me!"

"Then why did you throw him away? He's a very clean boy in such an ugly and dirty place."

"Because there is a ghost." Li Yuan sat down on the ground, gesticulating with his hands in front of him tearfully: "The ghost put a lot of money in it, saying that I can get that money as long as I throw him away."

"Just for that money?"

"A lot...a lot..."

Lu Yunjin's voice suddenly rose: "Just for a sum of money, you smothered a living child and threw him into the garbage dump! Tell me he won't look for you, who will he go to?!"

"I didn't!" Li Yuan held his head tightly and shook his head desperately: "He has become like that, he can't live anymore, but...but if I get that money, I can live Very good, I... I can live for him."

"What do you take instead? He is only eight years old, and he still has a long way to go. He will meet many people, and maybe there are people he loves among them. He should have lived a good life."

"I know... I haven't had a good night's sleep since I got that money. Every night that child... that child stands in front of me bloody, he asks me, he asks me why To kill him... I really don't dare to use a penny..."

Looking at the crying man sitting on the ground, Lu Yunli stood up indifferently, grabbed his arm, lifted him up, and threw him on the opposite stool.

Lu Yunxi took out a photo from his pocket and put it on the table: "Do you know him?"

Li Yuan poked his head out to look at the man in the photo like a goose waiting to be slaughtered, he suddenly laughed out loud, poked the man in the photo desperately with his fingers, and said very fast as if asking for credit: "Yes He, it's him, it's his suitcase! Go grab him, grab him, it's not me, hahaha, it's not me!"

Rubbing the sore brows, Lu Yunli put away the photo: "We will catch him, you just wait here."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait, I'll wait for you, he must be arrested, murderer, yes, shoot him, shoot him!"

The man kept talking to himself, as if it would free him from guilt.

When he walked out of the interrogation room, Fu Siqi had already sorted out the electronic version of the interrogation records, as well as Li Yuan's information: "Li Yuan moved to Puliang Town at the end of last year, and has never met Zhang Jianguo. He usually does some breakfast business , I made things clean, but I didn’t expect this kind of person.”

"People die for money, birds die for food, what is impossible." Lu Yunli habitually took out a cigarette and held it in his hand, glanced at the sign of 'No Smoking' posted on the wall, and flipped through it. Rolling eyes: "Has the online arrest warrant been issued?"

"already sent."

Fu Siqi followed Lu Yunli with his small notebook in his arms, hesitant to speak, and hesitant to speak, he almost forgot what to say, only to get a look of charity from Lu Yunli.

"Let the fart go."

"Boss, how do you know that Li Yuan killed that child? Although the forensic doctor gave the death time, it might be Zhang Jianguo who did it?"

"Because Zhang Jianguo said, we must live with hope."

As long as one person resists the temptation and lends a helping hand, they can survive-this is their chance of survival.

——Zhang Jianguo, what did Zhang Qi go through that made you have such a desperate love for this world?
