Dangerous Personality

"Hey...emergency notification. Li, who is studying in the experimental middle school, has been confirmed missing. Li left home at 45:[-] in the morning and did not take the usual bus to school..."

"Emergency notification, another junior high school student is missing..."

"So far, six students have gone missing."

The curtains in Chi Qing's house were closed tightly, leaving only some light from the TV.

Chi Qing was like a nocturnal animal, sitting in the too empty living room, holding the remote control in his hand and huddled on the sofa in the living room, his legs were bent, and the trousers were hanging down long, covering the insteps.

The case has not progressed for a long time, and the two haven't had a good night's sleep since the incident. This day, Xie Lin helped send Yang Yan back to Tianxin Community, and then went back from the police station ahead of time, and held Chi Qing together for a while to catch up on sleep. .

When he woke up, he found that the people beside him had gone somewhere.

Chi Qing pressed the playback button, and the news replayed from the first one.

"Hey...an emergency report. Li, who is studying in the experimental middle school, has been confirmed missing. At [-]:[-] in the morning, Li..."

In the next second, one hand lightly placed on the top of Chi Qing's head and rubbed it a few times: "Why did you run out?"

Chi Qing explained: "Can't sleep, watch TV for a while, if there were other survivors back then, there might be some traces left in the news bulletins ten years ago."

It was only then that Xie Lin noticed that the news broadcast on TV was ten years ago.

Ten years ago, the picture quality was rough, and after copying from the Internet, there were even stuttering and some electrical sounds coming from nowhere.

"Are you hungry?" Xie Lin asked, "I'll check to see if there are any steaks left in the refrigerator. They shouldn't take away everything in your refrigerator."

After finishing speaking, Xie Lin turned into the kitchen, and was about to show off his cooking skills, but someone moved something in the kitchen. He pushed open the cabinet door, and a pile of overcrowded pots and pans fell from it, with a "bang" sound. There was a slam on the ground.

It was not the first day that Ren Qin noticed movement upstairs.

Today she was on vacation, originally planning to take a good rest at home, but she heard a faint sound.

And she walked to the door of Chi Qing's house yesterday and found that the flower basket she sent seemed to have been moved and changed direction, as if someone had entered and exited.

……

There should be no one upstairs.

The more Ren Qin thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Too many weird things happened in this building. If she hadn't paid a deposit and moved out before the contract expired, the deposit would not be refunded, otherwise she would have moved out long ago.

"Meow~~"

Little Xingxing, who was temporarily staying at Ren Qin's house, squatted at the door and called out.

It has been looking in the direction of the door, as if it wants to see the door through the door, or wants to go out.

"You also think it's weird, right?" Ren Qin picked up Little Xingxing, touched his head, and mustered up her courage, "How about we go up and have a look?"

Although the two upstairs were very kind to her and saved her when they were still there, but now one is dead and the other killed someone...

Ren Qin's courage is not enough: "It's better...forget it."

The two people who didn't know that they were bothering the neighbors downstairs were still thinking about what to eat, and finally ordered a takeaway at random, and continued to watch the news while waiting for the takeaway.

The news ten years ago is too far away from now.

At that time, many things were underdeveloped, and many things that were common in those days would not appear today.

In half an hour of news time, the part about the "child kidnapping case" accounted for half, and the remaining 15 minutes were scattered with other social news.

The last piece of news of the day was about the "South China Orphanage": "Some people reported that the South China Orphanage was involved in child abuse. After the police visited and investigated, it was confirmed. The director of the orphanage and others have been dismissed for investigation."

A very simple piece of news, but Xie Lin stretched out his hand to cover Chi Qing's hand, and pressed the playback button with his hand.

So the TV screen was rewound and restarted when the last news was broadcast. The hostess said in a straight voice: "Some people report the South China Orphanage..."

Chi Qing didn't quite understand why Xie Lin watched an irrelevant piece of news repeatedly.

Moreover, he was unfamiliar with the name Huanan Orphanage. After searching the Internet, he found that Huanan Orphanage had been renamed Red Sun Children's Welfare Institute because of the scandal ten years ago, and even the address had been changed.

Xie Lin usually likes to pinch the ring when thinking about things, but now that Chi Qing is by his side, he just touches wherever he goes, and his fingertips climbed up to Chi Qing's ear and rubbed it a little bit: "If the murderer was the first to strike at that time, It's not 001 recorded in the file, but other people, and they are able to leave no trace, and have not been discovered so far, so "leave no trace" is a clue instead."

Assuming that there are really No. 3 survivors who are not recorded, then this clue is in the test question: who can not be recorded.

"Besides, it is almost impossible for most of the murderers to commit crimes like the murderers in the past who would dare to make such a big fuss for the first time. Many murderers have a process of simulating a crime before committing a crime. Be cautious, try some low-risk crimes, or find some vulnerable groups that are easy to attack."

Having said that, Jie Lin's hand paused briefly:

"If the first person who reported the crime was not the first, then Z is probably the real first child who was kidnapped."

Even if you take them away, where are the places where no one will notice, where the risk is low, and where there are many children?

On TV, the news was played again and again.

The answer that the two thought of overlapped perfectly with the three words that the hostess said on TV: —— Orphanage.

The next day, it was just dawn.

The cafeteria is the first to get busy in the Red Sun Children's Welfare Institute.

The aunt in the canteen is preparing meals for the day, and the children will eat in the canteen in order of class after getting up in the morning and doing exercises.

It looks no different from some ordinary schools. There are dormitories, classrooms for classes, and an activity area similar to a playground. There is a small play facility in the corner of the activity area, with children's favorite red and yellow slides and simple swings. .

There are children playing games together in the play area.

A girl with shofar braids covered her eyes and stood against the wall, muttering: "One, two, three, we are all wooden people, don't speak or move!"

"..."

After a few seconds of stillness, the child behind her pointed at one of the children and yelled, "You moved!"

"Yes, I saw you move too!"

The child defended himself: "I didn't, I just didn't stand firm just now."

Xie Lin and Chi Qing walked into the orphanage and saw this scene.

Looking at the plants and trees in the orphanage and the group of children playing games, Chi Qing recalled a past experience: "I came to the orphanage once before."

Xie Lin raised his eyebrows, expressing his unimaginability: "This is not like a place where you would come."

"At that time, I heard from the first psychiatrist. The psychiatrist thought that more contact with innocent children might be beneficial to my condition. The next day I found an orphanage," Chi Qing said here, feeling a little uncomfortable Too willing to continue sharing, "Forget it, the case is important."

Xie Lin pulled him back: "Why don't you forget it, after finishing speaking, no one will half-talk."

Chi Qing pursed the corners of his lips, and opened his mouth after a while: "The children cried when they saw me, and finally the dean invited me out."

"..."

It is also reasonable.

When the two walked to the play area, the group of children had already changed to another game after three minutes of enthusiasm. Only the one who was playing with the wooden figure just now could not stand still because he might feel aggrieved and stood there silently.

Xie Lin walked over and knelt down to look at him: "Child, why don't you go and play with them?"

Xie Lin was smiling when he said this, and the child quickly raised his head to look at Xie Lin, pretending not to hear, but replied with a good face: "Because I don't like to play their game."

However, what he didn't expect was that a gloomy and beautiful brother next to him uttered a few cold words: "It's because I lost the game."

"..."

The gloomy and beautiful brother continued: "It's useless to find reasons for yourself, only the weak will escape."

The child felt that he could perform a wail on the spot in the next second.

But before his tears burst out, the elder brother frowned again: "You don't want to cry anymore, do you?"

"........."

Xie Lin was helpless, and said seriously: "Although I don't mind what you say, I also hope that I can listen to you more in my limited life, but you should talk less to others. .”

Chi Qing: "..."

Finally, holding back tears, the child pointed them in the direction of the dean's office: "In the building in front, the dean's mother is on the third floor."

They will refer to the dean as "the dean's mother".

For these children, most of them have never met their parents since they were born, and the dean who cares most about them is "mother".

In the dean's office.

"That's why these children think of me as a mother because they miss their mother," Dean Liu is in his 40s this year, with black curly hair tied up behind his head, and a slightly fat body. He looks very peaceful. Looking for me, do you need my cooperation?"

"We want information on the children who were in the South China Orphanage ten years ago, and we want to ask if there were any missing children during that time period."

The dean was stunned when he heard the words "South China Orphanage". The name was too old for her. When she first came to the orphanage, it was called "Red Sun". not many.

"Previous information? I think it should be there, but you also know that our orphanage has moved and changed its name. I'm not sure if the information in the archives is complete or not."

With that said, Dean Liu took them upstairs, where there was a file room.

"It's all here, you might have to look for the ones from ten years ago."

According to regulations, each child must create a personal file after entering the kindergarten. Even if many children are adopted in the future, these files will still be kept in yellow file bags.Usually no one comes in and out here, the windows are sealed, and there is basically no lighting at all. Several rows of dim and yellowed files are quietly displayed.
