did not meet tonight

The figure walked in the narrow alley, where there were walls on both sides, and there was no place to hide. He was wearing a peaked cap, and his steps were fast. As he walked, he paid attention to the silence behind him.Xiao Yu quickly felt that he was not trying to escape, but was deliberately leading him to a certain place.This person was wearing a white dress. Judging from his movements and figure, he should be a woman. Xiao Yu quickly thought of a person's name, Lu Yao.

The sound of the music in the playground gradually disappeared, their footsteps were hurried and fast, Xiao Yu did not overtake her, and she did not panic.The alley had come to an end, and Xiao Yu saw that familiar old building, so there was such a shortcut that was not easily noticed.The person in front had already stopped. She turned around and looked up at Xiao Yu. The low brim of her hat covered most of her face, but her appearance could still be recognized.Without saying anything, she slowly stretched out her hand to Xiao Yu, and in her palm was a bunch of old and new keys.

Xiao Yu was taken aback. This was obviously the key from the old building, but it had been kept by Shao Taikun all along. How could it appear in Lu Yao's hands now?

"I can only do this, the rest is up to you." Lu Yao's voice was very low, but it came clearly in the wind.

"Thank you." Xiao Yu took the key and said sincerely.

"Don't let them go." Lu Yao gritted her teeth and said.

"Don't worry." Xiao Yu said.Lu Yao took a deep breath as if relieved, pulled the brim of her hat, and left the alley quickly.The old building is right in front, the iron gate is locked tightly, and you can see the trees swaying in the wind in the yard, the shadows are all over the ground, and there is an invisible sense of depression.Xiao Yu inserted the key into the huge brass lock, and with a click, the iron door opened. He walked in step by step, and found that it was quieter than before. There was no staff. Those children, they went where?

Xiao Yu went up to the second floor and came to the room where he saw the fallen leaves earlier. He opened the door, but there was nothing inside, the quilts were piled up on the bed in a mess, and there was a pungent smell of medicine.He searched around and found nothing unusual, and opened the next few rooms, the situation inside was basically the same, and everyone seemed to have disappeared.

It seems that Meng Xianzhen has long been prepared to transfer these children, but if they are brought back to the original dormitory, it will be easier for people to notice. What is the most reassuring place for Meng Xianzhen?

Xiao Yu thought of the row of sundry rooms on the first floor. Last time, Meng Xianzhen tried her best to prevent him from going in. What would be inside?

He came to the first floor again. The row of rooms were all locked tightly. Xiao Yu passed by the window one by one. Scattered light.Xiao Yu stopped in front of a room, about to open it with a key, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, he was secretly startled, and turned around to find that Gao Zhishang came with a few colleagues.

"How's the front?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Cheng Zhe is watching, but Meng Xianzhen has already sensed our actions, and she may rush over soon. Captain, did you find anything?" Gao Zhishang ran all the way over, panting.

"The children are all gone." Xiao Yu realized that he had underestimated Meng Xianzhen, this person was far more treacherous than he thought.

"Shao Taikun never showed up at the event, could it be that he took the child away?" Gao Zhishang guessed.

"So many people have too big a goal no matter where they take them. If my guess is correct, these children should still be here." Xiao Yu looked around and said.

"Still here?" Gao Zhishang was taken aback, "But with so many children gathered together, it's impossible for there to be no sound at all."

"There are many ways to make people quiet." Xiao Yu believes that Meng Xianzhen can do anything, "I suspect that this building has a basement."

Gao Zhishang's eyes suddenly brightened: "I remembered! When we checked outside, we found that this building is on the high side, maybe that's why!"

Xiao Yu stopped talking, he inserted the key into the door, and the keyhole turned with a crisp sound, and the wooden door was pushed open with a creak, revealing the messy things inside.The light is very dim, the wires hanging from the ceiling have no light bulbs, and things are piled up randomly, and there seems to be no way to get in.Xiao Yu signaled Gao Zhishang to use his mobile phone for lighting. If there were really few people walking around in these rooms, then there should be a thick layer of dust on the ground, but this place is much cleaner than imagined. Look, how many times it seems to have moved.

"Move them away and have a look." Xiao Yu said.

Two policemen stepped forward to help, when Meng Xianzhen's voice sounded from behind: "Why is Captain Xiao still interested in these rags?"

Xiao Yu expected that Meng Xianzhen would appear, so he signaled them to continue, and said calmly: "We just received a report that someone claimed to have seen the victim in the disappearance case here, and the duty is to ask the Meng Yuan to Long forgiveness."

"Captain Xiao is really good at joking. This is an orphanage, how could it be related to the disappearance case?" Meng Xianzhen followed a few people, judging from their clothes, they should be the leaders of the social welfare team who came to participate in the event, "But I It's very strange, why does Captain Xiao have the key here, I've been looking for Tai Kun, has Captain Xiao ever seen him?"

"I also have one strange thing," Xiao Yu asked instead of answering her, "Before the event, Dean Meng said that the children have been properly arranged, but now there is no one here, what's going on? "

Meng Xianzhen also seemed very surprised: "Huh? Is there no one in the room? This matter was handled by Tai Kun. I have always trusted him, so I didn't ask much. Maybe he felt that this place was not safe enough, so he temporarily put the child away. Move it somewhere else."

"You are the dean of the orphanage, can he take away the child without your consent?" Xiao Yu said with a sneer.

"Captain Xiao doesn't know. Tai Kun is also an important person in charge of the orphanage. I have the same responsibilities as him, but the responsibility is different. If he thinks it is better to transfer the children, he can do so. He I have this right." Meng Xianzhen said calmly, "But Captain Xiao brought so many people here, do you know if there is a search warrant?"

"This is not a search, but an investigation. As long as there are doubts, the police have the right to investigate and collect evidence." Xiao Yu refused to budge.The people following Meng Xianzhen couldn't bear it any longer, and a short, middle-aged man said: "Then you must pay attention to the evidence, and you are here to investigate at such an important time today, don't you just want to Embarrassing the orphanage?"

"That's right, you are a government department, no matter how powerful you are, you can't bully others. There are so many children outside, and you are not afraid to scare them with such a big fanfare!" Another younger man echoed.Dissatisfaction came one after another. These people had some backgrounds, and what they said was tit for tat. Gao Zhishang was sweating profusely and didn't know how to explain it.However, Xiao Yu was unmoved by the accusations. After they had scolded and quieted down, he said, "If you are dissatisfied, you can go to any department to complain, and what I am going to do today, there is no People can stop."

"Is this the attitude of being a policeman! You are deliberately making things difficult for the orphanage!" Those people pointed at him and said angrily.

Xiao Yu remained unmoved, and signaled the police to continue to move things away. Meng Xianzhen stepped forward and said, "Don't blame Captain Xiao, I believe he also has his own difficulties. Our orphanage is innocent and will never It will be related to the disappearance case, since he wants to investigate, let him investigate."

"Dean Meng, you are so easy to talk to. If it were me, they would definitely be endless!" said the middle-aged man.

"What's the reason for this? I think he can't solve the case. He is afraid that his superiors will blame him, so he just wants to find some excuses to prevaricate, so as to delay the time."

"It's a policeman, what's the difference between a hooligan and a hooligan!"

"The reporters are still outside, I'm going to call them over now and expose you all!"

Amidst the accusations, Xiao Yu still stood at the door with a cold and determined expression. He knew that if he didn't find any clues this time, there would be very serious consequences waiting for him, and he might even be suspended and punished severely. He had to do something, even if it cost him everything.

The sundries in the house were cleared out and piled up in the yard, and an empty room appeared in front of my eyes, but there was still nothing here.Meng Xianzhen came over and said, "What did Captain Xiao find?"

White mottled walls, old curtains, and wires full of spiders, no matter how you look at it, this is a room that has been abandoned for a long time.The ground was covered with square floor tiles, some of which were cracked, and a few rays of light came in through the gaps in the curtains, and floating dust could be seen at the light source. Seeing Xiao Yu's frowning expression, Meng Xianzhen sighed and said, "I understand that Captain Xiao I am in a hurry to solve the case, but we must pay attention to evidence in everything. Our orphanage has been dedicated to orphan relief for many years, and has never done anything illegal. I hope Captain Xiao can understand."

When Xiao Yu walked into the house, he stepped on the floor tiles and found a slight crackling sound. He could see clearly that there was indeed no entrance leading to the basement.

Is he feeling wrong?

No, there must be something quirky about the building.

He walked slowly, step by step, many pairs of eyes were watching him from outside the door, Gao Zhishang's anticipation, Meng Xianzhen's composure, and the taunts of those behind her, everyone was looking at him.

He was still walking, it was so quiet here that it seemed that only the sound of his walking was left, but in this silence, another sound of footsteps suddenly sounded.

click, click, click

It came dully, as if it was far away, but also seemed very close.

Everyone was stunned. They were all looking for the source of the sound. There was no one in the yard or on the corridor.

Like a voice from another dimension.
