demons lurk beside you

In this quiet earthen house, the past more than ten years ago came to my mind instantly.

The director of the orphanage was dismissed, the orphans disappeared one by one, and the village head also left the village, leaving behind many unspeakable secrets.

Following Xiao Cheng's angry curses, the earth house became silent again.

Although the anger in Leng Yu's heart was gradually rising, she forcibly restrained herself. She asked, "After you left, did you hear any news about the village and the orphanage?"

Village head Ye lowered his eyes and said, "In the first year, I heard about it. Although I was expelled from the village, I still stayed in Nanshi and kept an eye on everything in the village."

"Then what happened?" Leng Yu asked.

"After I left, I heard that many couples who were unable to have children decided to come to the village to adopt children. However, day after day, the number of couples who came to the village to adopt children gradually decreased. That was because the mayor finally issued an order. The adoption can no longer be allowed to continue. He even closed down many adoption organizations, and captured many important figures in the organizations, announcing the suspension of all plans to adopt children. Moreover, he was so powerful that the media blocked and covered up Since then, the adoption incident seems to have disappeared out of thin air. After that, no one can interfere with Chen Yiqin's evil plan." Village Chief Ye said slowly, with deep helplessness in his tone.

Leng Yu nodded and asked, "So, you have been away for many years, have you heard any other news?"

Village head Ye shook his head with a bitter expression, and said: "I never heard any news after that. The orphanage seems to have evaporated from the air, and the name of the village has been slowly forgotten. I don’t know what happened in the village afterwards.”

After hearing this, Leng Yu asked again: "So, when did you return to the village again?"

Village head Ye answered her: "After 6 years, I suddenly saw a piece of news from the newspaper. I found out that Liang Chengyuan had become a surgeon in Yangshi People's Hospital. At that time, the report indicated that he had successfully He saved the life of a wealthy businessman in Yang City, and the operation was very successful, which also earned him a very good reputation, and at the same time made the name of the People's Hospital. Since then, the People's Hospital has also And it became a famous hospital, and many foreigners came to the hospital because of its reputation, hoping to find Liang Chengyuan to perform various difficult surgical operations for them."

Leng Yu asked: "So, when you knew that he had left Nanshi, you decided to return to this village again?"

Village head Ye nodded and said: "Yes, I decided to come back quietly after I learned that the two of them had gone to Yangshi. At that time, I thought that since they had left, there would be no other people in the village. People with a strong background and backing, the rest are only villagers, so if the mayor really knows that I am back, he probably doesn’t bother to do anything to me. Moreover, this village is where I grew up, If I don’t go back from now on, I’m also a little bit reluctant.”

Leng Yu gave a "hmm" and asked, "So, you have always been single and never married, right?"

Village head Ye showed a guilty smile on his face, and said: "Yes, I'm sorry I lied to the police officer just now. People like me are not worthy of marrying a wife. After all, I want my family to accompany me to bear this life of fleeing. Neither do I."

A rare smile appeared on Leng Yu's face, and she asked, "Then, after you come back, you will still miss the children in the orphanage after all, right?"

Village Chief Ye nodded and said: "Yes. On the day I came back, I quietly went to the direction of the orphanage. At that time, I walked there quickly while the villagers were taking a nap at noon, and I saw But it was a villa that was already empty. When I stepped into the orphanage again, I saw that there was no one in it, even the furniture was gone, and there was nothing in it. When I went up the stairs and came to the bedroom where the dean lived, I saw that there was only a bed frame left and nothing else. Since then, I have convinced myself that the dean has really left. I left the village and never came back, and the other orphans were probably sent away by Liang Chengyuan and his wife, and I don’t know where they sent the children.”

"So, did you contact other villagers afterwards? Have you asked them about everything in the orphanage?" Leng Yu asked indifferently, looking at Village Chief Ye with sharp eyes.

When Village Chief Ye met her eyes, he felt a little guilty. He quickly lowered his eyes and said, "No, I haven't even asked them about everything about the orphanage. Then, when they saw me coming back, they also asked me." Never mentioned it to me."

Leng Yu sneered, and said: "Mr. Ye, you dare not ask any more questions, don't you? You deliberately avoided the villagers, didn't you? It was also you who chose to live here alone and avoid the villagers as much as possible." ,Yes or no?"

She asked Village Chief Ye three questions in a row, and each question hit something that Village Chief Ye buried deep in his heart that he didn't even dare to think about.

When Village Chief Ye faced Leng Yu's aggressive question, he collapsed, and even collapsed on the chair, unable to say a word.

After a long time, Leng Yu stood up from the chair, she came to the door of the earthen house, turned her head and said to him indifferently: "Mr. Ye, I believe that deep down in your heart you must be thinking the same question as me. .”

At this moment, Huang Lin and Xiao Cheng looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand why Leng Yu said these words to Village Chief Ye.

And why did Village Chief Ye dare not refute a word after hearing Leng Yu's question?

So, what are the two of them thinking about?

After a long time, Leng Yu saw that Village Chief Ye was still lying on the chair with his head down, motionless, and he had an idea, and said, "Cillage Chief Ye, come back to the orphanage with us again, and say Maybe this will save Izumi Koizumi."

Village head Ye looked up at Leng Yu and asked, "Officer, is what you said true?"

Leng Yu nodded and said firmly, "Yes!"

"So, can you really treat the child who killed Liang Chengyuan and his wife and Dr. Lin kindly?" Village Chief Ye asked again, he wanted to get Leng Yu's verbal promise again.

Leng Yu nodded again and said, "We promise you that we will make some special arrangements for this child."

"Okay!" After finishing speaking, Village Chief Ye stood up again.

This time, Leng Yu personally took off Village Chief Ye's coat from behind the wooden door of the Tsuchiya hall, put it on him with his own hands, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Village Chief Ye."

Huang Lin and Xiao Cheng also followed them out of the earthen house, and the four headed towards the orphanage again.

This time, the mood of the four people has changed dramatically from the previous time when they went to the orphanage for the first time.They learned from Village Chief Ye that there was an extremely unusual event hidden in the village, and this event was closely related to the brutal murder they encountered today.

The village seems to be peaceful, but it is undercurrents.

They all vaguely guessed the dark incident that happened inside, but this incident has not been discovered by anyone until now, until today because of the two murders that happened to two surgeons. .

And why did Village Chief Ye dare not communicate with any villagers?Why didn't he dare to expose what happened after the orphanage was closed?

Because he would rather bury it, would rather it never happened, would rather not accept these terrible facts.

He wanted to bring all the things hidden in his mind into the coffin after his death.

However, Leng Yu's words woke him up.

What about the missing Koizumi Izumi?Is he really missing?

He told him not to run around, he told him to stay there.So, did he really run away?Did he really just stay where he was?

do not know.

No one knows where Koizumi went.

The four walked silently on the road until they came to the single-plank bridge. Leng Yu turned to look at Village Chief Ye. After seeing him take a deep breath, he followed them across the single-plank bridge again and stood there again. In front of the orphanage overgrown with weeds.

"Mr. Ye, shall we go in?" Leng Yu asked in a low voice.

There was a gleam of light in Village Chief Ye's gloomy eyes, and he suddenly asked, "Officer, how do you know that I will definitely find that secret room?"

Chamber of Secrets?

Huang Lin and Xiao Cheng looked at each other again.

What kind of situation is this?Why didn't I understand a word of what the two of them said?

Leng Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Ye, you are the only one who thinks that a tragedy has already happened here, so you should have paid attention to the terrain and building structure in the orphanage early in the morning, right?"

Village head Ye smiled wryly, and praised Leng Yu again: "Officer, you are the smartest police officer I have ever seen, and I can't hide anything from you."

Then he said, "Let's go in first."

"Okay." Leng Yu nodded.

Xiao Cheng walked in first, he opened the way for the three people behind, pushed aside the weeds next to him, until he entered the hall of the house, he saw the food left on the ground with sharp eyes, and there was not much left .

He turned his head to look at Leng Yu and Huang Lin, and quickly noticed when he saw them.Leng Yu hurriedly whispered into Village Chief Ye's ear, "Cillage Chief Ye, the homeless man is back."

Village head Ye nodded, then looked towards the left bedroom of the orphanage, and said in a low voice, "I remember there is a bed over there."

Therefore, Xiao Cheng walked quietly to the bedroom on the left. When he looked in, he frowned instantly. He walked up to Leng Yu quickly and said, "Boss...Boss, you better not go in, I'll go Let's talk when he wakes up."

Leng Yu gave him a sidelong glance, and walked straight forward. When she saw the homeless man, her face showed helplessness.

Xiao Cheng scratched his head and said, "I just said, let me go in and wake him up first."

Huang Lin was a little curious, so she also walked forward. When she looked up into the bedroom, she immediately backed out, then pulled Xiao Cheng aside, and angrily reprimanded in a low voice: "Why didn't you say it earlier? He doesn't even wear pants. Don't wear it!"
