last case

The dilapidated rooms, combined with the dim lighting, looked like a haunted house.

Tang Xin frowned and said, "A hospital ward?"

"I don't know." Xie Jibai said.

It looks a bit like a very old hospital ward, the gray and white walls are severely peeled off, the room is small and crowded, but there are only two things in it, a bed and a bedside table, and it seems that there are no chairs.

If you look carefully, the door of the room is open, and you can see a vague corridor. The outer wall is that kind, very old, with two colors of upper and lower walls.At first glance, it looks more like a hospital.

Only then did the little boy speak, and said, "Someone asked me to deliver the books around here."

"Who is it?" Xie Ji Bai asked immediately.

The little boy looked back, but he couldn't find that person in the crowd. He shook his head and said, "I don't remember."

There was a photo in the gray book, and all that was left was a line of words.

—Cowardly people choose hell by themselves.

Xie Jibai and Tang Xin took the little boy back to the police station.

Before everyone came back, Chen Yancai was alone. When she saw Xie Jibai and Tang Xin leading a little boy in, she almost choked to death on the water she just drank.

Chen Yancai widened her eyes and said, "What's the matter with you two, you even have children after going out."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Jibai said, "This child seems to have gotten lost."

The little boy couldn't tell where his home was, and he didn't have anything like a mobile phone on him, so he just shook his head when asked.Xie Jibai and Tang Xin originally planned to take the little boy to stay where they were and wait for a while, but after waiting for more than an hour, no one came to look for the little boy.

In the end, the two had no choice but to bring the little boy back first.

Chen Yancai walked over, squatted in front of the little boy, and said, "Little friend, tell my sister, where is your home, what is your name, do you remember your family's phone number?"

Tang Xin said: "We asked all these questions just now."

The little boy shook his head slowly and said, "I don't remember."

"Eh..." Chen Yancai couldn't help but said, "The answer is too perfunctory, at least tell me your name, so you won't forget it."

"I don't remember..." The little boy shook his head slowly and said, "They called me a fool."

"Ah?" Chen Yancai was taken aback, her eyelids twitched, and she muttered, "I'd better see if there is an alarm record."

Chen Yancai stood up, saw the book in Xie Jibai's hand, and said, "Xiaobai, why another book?"

Xie Jibai told her the story, and Chen Yancai's mouth opened wide.

Tang Xin said: "I'm afraid that person knew that we were going to find Kou Xin to investigate, so he deliberately asked this kid to wait for us with a book."

It's a pity that they asked the child what the person who gave him the book looked like, but he couldn't tell.

Xie Jibai took the pen and paper, waved to the little boy, and said, "Come here, come, come to uncle."

The little boy walked over obediently, and then sat next to Xie Ji Bai.

Xie Jibai pushed the pen and paper to him and said, "Can you draw a picture of the person who gave you the book?"

The little boy picked up the pen, lowered his head to play for a while, then raised his head to look at Xie Ji Bai, and nodded without answering.

"Ah, Xiaobai still has a solution." Chen Yancai couldn't help sighing.

Tang Xin stood aside and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already afternoon, and they would be off work in a few hours. They didn't even have lunch.

Tang Xin is really hungry right now, he just hopes to get off work on time today, then go to the supermarket to buy hot pot ingredients, and then go home to eat hot pot with the air conditioner on.

The little boy held a pen and didn't draw at first, but just poked back and forth on the paper with the pencil, not knowing what he was doing.Xie Jibai didn't urge him, turned on his computer, and sat beside him to read some materials.

After more than half an hour, the little boy suddenly said: "Someone has been staring at me, I can't draw."

Xie Jibai immediately turned his head and looked at Chen Yancai.

Chen Yancai opened her eyes wide and said, "It's not me. It must be Tang Forensic Doctor!"

Tang Xin was pouring coffee, he didn't look back, but just raised the cup.

"rustle"

The little boy finally stopped poking the tip of the pencil, and there was a "rustling" sound on the paper, and he started to draw.The voice seemed to be rhythmic, neither fast nor slow, and it was actually very comfortable to listen to.

"I've finished drawing." The little boy said quickly.

Tang Xin and Chen Yancai heard the voice and walked over to look. There was a person drawn on the white paper...

Chen Yancai: "..."

"It's too abstract, what is this?" Chen Yancai couldn't help but whispered.

Tang Xin shook his head.

Xie Jibai picked up the drawing paper, honestly he couldn't understand it...

Chen Yancai added: "Is this a human nose? It looks like an eagle's mouth. It's too exaggerated."

"It's not an eagle." The little boy said suddenly, "It's this one."

He pointed to something on Xie Jibai's desk.

It was contained in a transparent evidence bag, and it was a collar pin of a crow spreading its wings and screaming, which was sent by that person.

Pointing to the collar pin, the little boy said, "It's a crow."

The little boy's voice was soft, but after saying these three words, everyone felt a chill down their spines.

Tang Xin waved to Xie Jibai.

Xie Jibai stood up and walked over, the two of them entered the conference room and closed the door.

Tang Xin said: "Perhaps that person was wearing a crow's collar pin."

"It's possible." Xie Jibai said.

Perhaps what the little boy meant was not that the person looked like a crow, but that he saw a crow at that time and was very impressed, so he painted that person's face like a crow.

Tang Xin said again: "And...Xiaobai, I suggest you take this child for a checkup."

"Check what?" Xie Jibai asked.

Tang Xin said: "You should also have noticed that he may have some mental abnormalities."

Xie Ji Bai was silent for a while, then said: "...I see."

Xie Jibai and Tang Xin came out, while Chen Yancai was still thinking about the painting.And the little boy was looking at the small window of the side door.

Seeing Xie Ji Bai come back, the little boy pointed to the window of the side door and said, "There's someone there."

Chen Yancai, who was sitting next to the little boy, was startled, couldn't help but rubbed her arms, and said, "Don't scare me."

The side door to their office was locked and led to the upstairs stairwell, which was never used.People usually take the elevator or the stairwell next to the elevator.

How could anyone be there?

Xie Jibai walked over and said, "Come on, can you take a walk with Uncle, Uncle will take you somewhere."

The little boy glanced at him and nodded.

While rubbing her arms, Chen Yancai watched Xie Jibai take the little boy out, and asked, "Where did they go?"

Tang Xin said, "It's just a routine test."

After Tang Xin finished speaking, he followed.

They took the little boy to the fifth floor downstairs. This floor is used for routine testing, and all kinds of instruments are very comprehensive.

When they walked in, they saw several colleagues in white coats busy.

The two swiped their cards and entered the glass door, leading the little boy inside.

The little boy grabbed Xie Jibai's hand, he looked a little nervous, looked up at Xie Jibai, and said, "What place is this?"

"Don't be nervous." Xie Jibai said.

The little boy held Xie Jibai's hand tightly. He didn't go any further. He looked up at him and said, "I'm scared...do you think I'm sick too? They always say that."

Xie Jibai looked at the little boy with red eyes, and suddenly his heart felt a little tight.

The examination report showed that the little boy suffered from mental illness, but fortunately it was not serious, but he was emotionally unstable and often had auditory and visual hallucinations.

Chen Yancai said: "This is great. That person is really shameless. He must have known about it, so he asked this kid to give us a book. Even if this kid can really describe his appearance, that's too much. useless."

True, a confession of being mentally ill is not enough.

Before dark, Chen Wanting, Liu Zhihui and Qin Xu all came back one after another.

We are all people who have never brought up children, and they are all helpless with a child.

Chen Yancai did not find any alarm records at all, and it seemed that no one was anxious because of the loss of a child.

And the little boy couldn't tell where he came from.

Chen Wanting sighed, and said, "That's it, our case hasn't progressed yet, and now we suddenly have an extra child to take care of."

Everyone stared wide-eyed for a while, but finally came to no conclusion.

Tang Xin suddenly took off his gold-rimmed eyes and said, "Forget it, it's too late today, I'll take this child with me, and we'll figure out a way tomorrow."

"You brought it?" Chen Wanting was stunned for a while, and said, "But Xiaobai..."

Chen Wanting couldn't help but look at Xie Jibai. Tang Xin is living in Xie Jibai's house now. If Tang Xin wants to take care of this child, should he also bring the child to Xie Jibai's house?

Tang Xin said: "There is a hotel next to it, I can take him to rest in the hotel today."

In the end, everyone dispersed and went home. Xie Jibai leaned on the table and looked at Tang Xin who was packing up, and said, "We still have to go to the supermarket, hurry up."

Tang Xin looked up at him and said, "Xiaobai..."

Xie Jibai interrupted him and said, "You don't really want to take him to a hotel, do you? Then tomorrow morning, will someone come to the police station to report that you are abducting and trafficking children?"

Tang Xin couldn't help laughing, and said, "I thought you were obsessed with cleanliness and didn't like other people living in your house."

Xie Jibai said, "So you have to tidy up the room."

"I know." Tang Xin patted the child on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, have hot pot tonight."
