demons lurk beside you

Leng Yu and the others stepped onto the single-plank bridge, crossed the small river, and went straight to Village Chief Ye's house to search again.They passed through houses and saw that the earthen houses of the villagers were almost exactly the same as that of the village chief.

Fortunately, the three of them secretly wrote down the route on the way to the orphanage with the village chief, so they didn't get lost in this strange village.

When they came to the village head's earthen house again, Leng Yu raised his hand and knocked hard on the wooden door outside his house, then leaned his ear to the wooden door, listening to the movement inside.

When she didn't hear any footsteps coming from the house, she knocked on the wooden door vigorously again.Xiao Cheng was afraid that the village chief would find out that they knew he was lying and leave, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Cunjiang Ye, are you at home, open the door!"

Huang Lin went around from the other side of the earthen house, and when she got to the back of the village chief's house, she saw that the back door was also locked.So, she came to Leng Yu's side again, and said: "The wooden door behind the house is also locked, I don't know if he has gone out."

Just when Leng Yu was about to knock on the door again, the wooden door was suddenly opened from the inside, and the village chief Ye poked his head out just now, the white hair on his head was still wet, it looked like it had just been washed bath.

When Village Chief Ye saw them going back and forth, he put on a smiling face and asked, "Sorry, I was taking a shower just now, and I didn't hear anyone calling me. How's it going? Did you find anything important?"

Leng Yu stared closely at his eyes, seeing that there was no trace of cunning in his eyes, she began to feel suspicious, but she remained calm, and she said lightly: "Mr. Ye, please let us sit in first. I want to talk to you about something."

Village Chief Ye didn't suspect him, and opened the door to let the three of them in.When they stepped into the hall of his earthen house again, they saw that the arrangement of chairs was still the same as before they left. It was obvious that Village Chief Ye hadn't moved anything in the living room after returning home.

Leng Yu unceremoniously sat on the chair she had sat on before, and asked without waiting for Village Chief Ye to sit down, "Cunnel Chief Ye, why did you lie to us?"

When Village Chief Ye heard this, the body standing behind the door trembled.It took a long time before I heard him let out a long sigh.

After closing the wooden door of the hall, he turned around and walked to the wooden chair in front of Leng Yu, bent down and sat down slowly. When he looked up at Leng Yu, he met her pair of indifferent eyes.

After a few minutes, he asked, "What did you find?"

At this moment, Xiao Cheng took out a physical evidence bag from his trouser pocket, raised his hand and said, "We found a medical glove in the orphanage."

When Village Chief Ye saw a glove in the evidence bag in his hand, the corners of his eyes moved slightly involuntarily, which was caught by the sharp-eyed Leng Yu, and she said: "Cillage Chief Ye, Liang Chengyuan and his wife What heinous crime did you commit in the orphanage back then? Why did you keep it from us?"

Village head Ye looked at Leng Yu with a pair of eyes, and a complicated expression appeared in those cloudy eyes at this moment. He lowered his eyes and said, "I kept it from you because I didn't want you to find that child."

child?

Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin looked at each other, but they didn't understand who the child Village Chief Ye was talking about, and what did this child have to do with the case?

However, with Leng Yu and his cleverness, she immediately understood the meaning of Village Chief Ye's words, and she said coldly: "If he kills Liang Chengyuan and his wife and that Dr. Lin, no matter where he escapes, we will kill him." Where are you going?"

Village Chief Ye raised his head and looked at Leng Yu again, with a bottomless sadness in his eyes, he said: "Officer, Liang Chengyuan, Mrs. Liang and Dr. Lin deserve death, why can't you let them go?" The kid?"

After hearing what he said, Leng Yu roughly guessed what happened that year.She thought that that matter might have involved many lives, and these lives were killed by these so-called doctors. Therefore, when Village Chief Ye revealed the real reason for lying, Leng Yu actually He understood his intention.

Deep down in her heart, how much she wished that child could go away and not let them find him.

However, as a police officer, her job is to find out the murderers of the dead and then arrest them, so no matter what, she must find out the truth.

Leng Yu took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Mr. Ye, please don't interfere with the police's mission, and answer our questions honestly."

Although her tone was still indifferent as usual, Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin who had followed her for many years could hear the helplessness hidden deep in Leng Yu's heart.

Seeing her insistence, Village Chief Ye nodded and said, "I understand too. But, officer, if you really find the child, please help him so that he won't suffer too much in prison."

Although what happened in the prison has nothing to do with Leng Yu and others, she still agreed to him: "Okay, we will try our best to take good care of him."

After receiving Leng Yu's verbal assurance, Village Chief Ye slowly said: "Chen Yiqin is from Nanshi. She somehow got the mayor's permission to come to the orphanage in our village and become the vice-principal. I At that time, I was very curious about her background, but since she was recommended by the mayor, I didn't have to say much, so I handed over the job to her. At first, she was still a conscientious vice president, and she was very kind to orphans. She quickly learned the affairs of the orphanage, and was even more flexible and smarter than the dean, so the orphanage was well managed by her, and I was relieved to see it."

Leng Yu folded her arms and asked, "What happened next?"

Village Chief Ye smiled wryly, and said: "Later, I heard from the villagers that the dean is getting old and useless, and can't do many things well, so I hope I can get rid of him and make Chen Yiqin an orphan." The dean of the hospital. However, I felt that although the dean was old, even if he had no credit, he should have worked hard. Therefore, I couldn't dismiss him casually, so I just perfunctory the villagers. That's it, after that One year later, Chen Yiqin was already very familiar with the operation of the orphanage, and she quickly established a relationship with the villagers, so there were more and more rumors about the director's incompetence."

He paused, and then said: "Just when the villagers forced me to get rid of the principal again, I made up my mind to go to the orphanage to see if I was taken care of by Chen Yiqin as the villagers said. It’s better than before, and let’s see if the dean is really old and can no longer hold this position.”

After hearing this, Leng Yu suddenly interjected and asked, "Mr. Ye, have you never interfered with the affairs of the orphanage?"

Village head Ye shook his head and said: "No, I never interfere. Although the orphanage was established after I became the village head, I have entrusted all the power to the head of the orphanage, and I don't want to interfere in its affairs, or It can also be said that this is the mutual trust between me and the director. Therefore, I have given him full authority over the affairs of the orphanage."

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Well, continue."

Village head Ye reached out for the water glass placed by the table, took a sip of water, and said, "I have only been here three times since the establishment of the orphanage. Later, after such a long interval, I finally stepped into the orphanage again. In the past, the orphanage was just a simple wooden house with only one hall, and many small beds were placed in the center of the hall. Therefore, when all the orphans gather together, it is very special. Crowded. But at that time, we didn’t have enough funds at all, so we couldn’t build a bigger and more comfortable orphanage for our children. I remember when I stepped into the orphanage again, I saw Chen Yiqin Cooking for the children, and several other villagers working there in the yard are also taking care of everything for the children. However, when I accidentally chatted with one of the girls, I accidentally discovered that her arm bruises on it."

When Leng Yu heard him say this, a thought flashed in his mind.What Village Chief Ye said coincided with what she had thought before, and there was a gleam of joy in the depths of her eyes.

Sure enough, Chen Yiqin had a tendency to abuse children.

Village Chief Ye paused for a moment, and seeing that Leng Yu hadn't spoken, he continued, "I asked the little girl where the bruises on her arms came from, and she just told me that she accidentally fell and injured herself. Yes. I saw that the little girl didn’t show any abnormal expressions or actions, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. Later, I came to a bathhouse, where several children were taking a bath. When I passed the bathhouse, I saw people taking a bath The boys had large bruises on their backs, shoulders, arms, or both thighs. I started to get suspicious at this moment. I knew that something must have happened here that I didn't know, so I asked the dean for questioning. Unexpectedly, the dean didn't know whether it was fear or something, he didn't reveal any truth, he just reasoned that the children were naughty, and it was normal for them to fall and hurt themselves. Then, I found other people working there I asked the villagers about it, and seeing what everyone said, I had no choice but to believe it. However, since then, some bad things about the dean have disappeared, and the villagers are not forcing me to remove him from his position."

When Village Chief Ye said this, he stopped talking and said to Leng Yu: "Officer, I admit that I was careless about this matter, and it was because of my carelessness that it caused the incident in the orphanage later. The chain of misfortunes and tragedies that have ensued."

Leng Yu sighed, and said: "It's true that you were careless, but it's not entirely your fault. This woman Chen Yiqin is too powerful, isn't she? She was able to drive the villagers to find you and let you get rid of them." She asked the dean so that she could control everything in the orphanage. However, when you noticed the bruises and scars on the orphan, she immediately threatened the dean that he would not tell you the truth, and finally she could Keep running everything."

Village Chief Ye nodded and said, "Yes, the police officer is right. Chen Yiqin's coming here was planned early in the morning, but the addition of Liang Chengyuan and that doctor Lin made the whole thing get out of hand. And when I found out, it was too late, too late..."

When he said this, his face showed extreme remorse, and all the troubles began at that time.
