Water lanterns and dreams in 1 nights

, Elo's crazy words seem to me to mean something, and there seems to be a bloody smell that seems harmless. I want to rely on him to relieve my boredom, and I don't want to go deep into the trap and cause myself to fall into a trap.I reminded myself this way more than once. The reason why I was alert may be that I also noticed that no matter who took the initiative in my relationship with Elo, it had reached a limit. If I went down, I was not sure what I would encounter.Imbalance is dangerous.

"That girl named Jin Dongshu is your superior? I think you think highly of her."

"She's a very determined person. She knows what she's going for and she's been working hard for it. Most people lose to her at the first step. It's like I don't know what to do until now."

"Then try everything." Elo pulled the car off the road, and we got home. "It doesn't have to be the so-called good thing, but the thing you want to do."

We took a shower one after another and went back to our rooms. I called Wu Ji and told him that there was another murder case, and he was also strangled to death.

Wu Ji asked me if I had taken any pictures, and I told him to take a few before the police arrived, and he asked me to show him the pictures of the two murders, happily saying that it might be a serial murder.From the point of view of the editor-in-chief, it is a big case material, but if only from the point of view of human nature, he seems cruel. I can only think about this in my heart. I said that I will bring the photos when I go to work the next day, and then he will take the lead. Hang up the phone.

50. Pierrot 09

April 7

Wu Ji squinted his eyes behind the black-rimmed lenses, carefully looking at the photos I brought.

"You can do it," he said briefly.

"But where is the police?"

"Don't move too much just yet."

I couldn't help but ask him what he thought of the two cases.

"There is a suspicion of serial murder." Wu Ji returned the photo to me, and told me to report to him after I understood the case. A kind smirk appeared on his black and red face, which was always severe, and he praised: "Little brother , It’s finally on the road.”

"Where, it's just luck..."

"Your strength is not good enough. I will ask Jin Dongshu to watch this case with you." He said without doubt, picked up the microphone, saw that I was still standing there, waved me to go out, and said another In a peaceful tone: "Xiao Jin, Yin Yingguang has a case here, you need to take him with you, and he will talk to you about the specific situation..."

I walked out of the office and sat down at my desk. After a while, a white hand tapped on my desk. I looked up and saw Jin Dongshu's back floating in front of me, "Come to work, rookie .”

It was Jin Dongshu who was driving. During the drive, I told her about the two cases I encountered and asked her where she was going now. She said that she needed to get some information first. "Called the police twice, right?"

"Yes."

"There is a shortcut to find out, as long as you have access."

In the state of not knowing the destination, I was taken by Jin Dongshu to a dessert shop. I didn't order. She ordered a sandwich and placed it opposite, and ordered a cup of coffee while drinking and waiting. After about 10 minutes, Jin Dongshu looked The table said almost.Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the wind chimes at the door of the store jingled, accompanied by a gust of airflow, a woman wearing a peaked cap sat down on the opposite sofa, quickly took off her coat to reveal the black T-shirt inside, and deftly used the naked arms to grab the sandwich.Jin Dongshu poured out a glass of lemonade from the glass jug and handed it over, "Didn't you have breakfast again?"

The visitor had his cheeks swollen and had no time to speak, so he took out two pieces of paper folded into squares from his jeans pocket and gave them to Jin Dongshu.

After thanking Jin Dongshu, he unfolded the paper, and in the upper left corner was a ID photo of a woman, with a blue background and white shirt, her long hair tied up, revealing her forehead and facial features with light makeup. , which turned out to be a little dull brown like a stain.

"The Playground Dead."

"Still young."

"Looks much smaller than with heavy makeup."

"Generally speaking, girls of this age can't get into disputes involving life." Jin Dongshu read the materials carefully, "22 years old, just graduated, simple social relationship, single." She gave me the materials she had read, and looked at them. one sheet.

"Orphanage." The visitor finally finished his sandwich and raised his head from under his black peaked cap. Under his fluffy bangs were a pair of eyes that would be hazy when half-closed because they were too big, and his expression seemed to have just woken up.Jin Dongshu stretched her hands forward, thinking she was about to shake hands, but she simply introduced: "I send Xiao Mimu, an official servant." Then she waved to me and explained symbolically: "Yin Yingguang, a junior of the same company."

"Is Miki's real name?"

"Of course not, but as long as it's called that, the name doesn't affect communication."

"They come from the same orphanage." The woman named Miki said, carefully wiping her fingers that were stained with food residue with a wet tissue.

"Indeed." Jin Dongshu also finished reading the information, "Jin Meng Welfare Institute, do you have any impression?"

After thinking about it for a while, I vaguely remembered something, "I remember the name of the orphanage that had a major accident in Gaoyuan more than ten years ago."

"28 orphans in the staff hospital died of food poisoning, and there was a lot of trouble at the time."

"What poisoning?"

"It is said that they accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms picked from the surrounding mountains, and the canteen staff picked them and made them into a big pot of rice."

A bit far-fetched.Poisonous mushrooms that are so toxic that they are fatal are rare. Even if they are eaten by mistake, it is difficult to cause death if the toxin does not reach a certain dose, let alone collective food poisoning.

"During the forensic examination, it was confirmed that the toxin of the mushroom was extracted from the dead body, and the undigested residue in the stomach pouch can also prove it." Jin Dongshu said, also frowning.

Miki wiped his hands well, and stretched his waist at ease, "The old man who died was originally a logistics worker in the Jinmeng Welfare Institute. He ate a small amount, had blood changes and surgery, and at least he survived."

"At the end of the day, it's an untimely death."

"Are the other people in the orphanage still alive at that time?" I originally asked Jin Dongshu, but Miki looked lazy, but she answered first, "No. He was the only one among the adults, and how many children were punished? Those who ate dinner survived."

"How many other children are there?"

"I don't know. After the incident, it was taken over by other orphanages."

I have an inexplicable premonition in my heart, always feeling that the two murders are related to the survivors in the orphanage.

"Can I find information about the remaining children?" Jin Dongshu asked.

"I'll give it a try." Miki took off his peaked cap, adjusted the angle, put it on again, put on the coat he had taken off, and went to the door without saying hello.

"Let's go." Jin Dongshu yelled casually.The wind chimes rang again, and she went out.

"You never told me that you have friends who are policemen."

"You don't know that I have a lot to do, kid." Jin Dongshu said, "Now you know."

"Then the most important thing is to find out the whereabouts of the remaining children in the orphanage."

"This is a road, we still have to do other homework." Jin Dongshu glanced around outside and drank the coffee in his cup.Her eyes were weird, which made me look outside, but I didn't see anything unusual.

Jin Dongshu asked me to go to the public library to look up reports about the Jinmeng Welfare Institute, and she herself made other investigations.I spent the afternoon in the library, looking for all the materials in the library, but unfortunately they are not allowed to borrow, so I have to record the important information in my notebook. Even so, the information I found is not too much. After all, it is news from other places. What is collected in the Postal Public Library is only the reports of mainstream newspapers and periodicals, which are objective but objective, but the information is not rich enough.

I made an appointment with Jin Dongshu at four o'clock in the afternoon. After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear her reply, and no one answered the phone. I left a message on her voicemail and told her that I should report back to the agency first.

In the process of sorting out the materials, I always felt that something was wrong. For such an important case involving many lives, the report only said that it was suspected of food poisoning, and the exact cause of death was not mentioned, and there was no follow-up report.I've always wondered if poisonous mushrooms are that powerful.

I tried to search on the Internet. At that time, the Internet was not yet popular, and the clues were sporadic and limited. I checked and found that the original orphanage had sent new management personnel, and it is still in operation. I thought that I should apply to Wu Ji when necessary. On business trip.

At [-]:[-] p.m., I called Jin Dongshu again, but no one answered until the female voice finished speaking.Occasionally, she would not answer the phone when she was obsessed with investigating the case. Even though I wondered why it happened suddenly during the investigation with me, I was not particularly worried. Wuyou is a relatively stable place, so I don’t have to worry about safety if I can’t get in touch for a while.Just to be on the safe side, I reported this to Wu Ji, and he told me to do my job well, "You don't know what to do without Jin Dongshu?" It looked twice as severe as usual, and I immediately left the office to avoid the sharp edge.

I buried myself in my work until I got off work. I didn’t bring my briefcase. I took out my long-lost Walkman and planned to go home listening to the music. I was untying the earphone cable. When I stepped out of the newspaper building and looked up, I saw a familiar car parked across the road. I stopped and thought for a while. , When the car window was about to go away, Elo poked his head out with a smile and asked me to get in the car.I sighed and crossed the road to stand in front of him.

"I'll pick you up."

"Don't bother, you go first."

"Let's go together."

"I want to walk back."

"Are you angry that I came to pick you up?"

"No. I just want to listen to the song and go home today." I showed him the Walkman in my hand to prove that I wasn't lying.
