Start with Batman

This episode made Chu Cheng feel a little weird, but he didn't ask any questions.

Before leaving, Huang Liping said politely that you and Xiaocheng lived close to each other and were colleagues. If you have nothing to do, you can walk around more, and you can take care of each other in work and life.

They were all ordinary polite words, but the reaction on Fana's face when she listened was extremely serious.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chu Cheng seemed to feel that the girl was still standing at the fork in the back after they separated, watching them leave. Until they had disappeared in the crowd and turned their heads and couldn't see each other, Chu Cheng seemed to be able to feel her fixed gaze.

"She's a pretty girl, isn't she?" Huang Liping said with a smile.

"Where is it good?"

When it comes to Fana's appearance, it's really hard to be picky, but her temperament feels weird and she is a little bit stingy with words. After a meal, the phrases and phrases she said far exceeded complete sentences, which seemed a bit unnatural.

Mom didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she felt that the lack of talking was a proof of being honest and well-behaved. But Chu Cheng felt the opposite. He was still wondering if there was some misunderstanding or if the other party deliberately lied to them that he was living with his mother, but in fact she was the only one in the family's household registration book.

But seeing the sudden highlights in her eyes when she mentioned her mother, it didn't seem like she was lying. That would be even more frightening.

Whether it's a supernatural development where she actually lives with Bento's mother for years, or an Arkham development where her mother is actually just a fantasy in her head, it feels dangerous.

But in short, since she passed the mental evaluation in the madhouse, and the old thief Miyazaki seemed to guarantee that she was stable, then Chu Cheng could only say that he hoped they really knew what he was doing. But for the time being, he still thinks that it is wiser to keep a distance from such unstable factors.

Taking my mother for a walk in the shopping district is considered a follow-up activity for today, and I also bought some clothes for her by the way. The only advantage of working in a lunatic asylum is that there is more money, and the salary of hanging up in the back row is not low.

It is impossible to buy a house or a car in one step, but it is still a waste of water to treat my mother to a meal and buy a few clothes. Huang Liping didn't say anything, but she couldn't hide her joyful expression. It is hard to compare the mood of a mother upon receiving a gift from her child.

Originally, Chu Cheng had checked online that there was a dessert here with a good reputation, but when he walked around here, he found that there was another long queue, so he had to give up.

Going out these days, the line for eating, drinking, and buying desserts looks like the women's toilet in the tourist center of the scenic spot, and it usually takes an hour to start without a cap.

After eating, drinking and shopping, Chu Cheng felt that the blue bar was almost full. After returning to the apartment, he sat down in front of the computer and logged in again.

When I went online again, the DNA comparison results extracted from the Yoshimura couple's home last night have also come out, and I really found a match.

Sure enough, it was a child.

Raya Hatta, twelve years old. She had been arrested for burglary and had a record in the Public Security Bureau, so the dna data was recorded in the Public Security Bureau's system.

There are no parents, no immediate family members, and the registration file records that he is an orphan in an orphanage in the south of the city.

File records show she was found on a field in the countryside, and a couple heard her crying as they drove by in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the couple was quite courageous, and the black lights were not scared away. Instead, they got out of the car with a flashlight and walked in the direction of the crying, and then found her.

Her growth was not smooth. Chu Cheng only saw the record of her burglary a year ago in the file at first glance, but in fact this was not the first time. Laya has been an out-and-out problem child since she was a child. She has committed thefts, fights and frauds.

But even so, she was adopted from an orphanage a year ago. Although the adoptive parents, Jordan and his wife, were not very rich, their conditions were at least mid-level in a city like Jiangdu. She could not say that she could completely treat her as her own, but it was definitely not bad.

But such days did not last forever.

Some time ago, Jordan and his wife disappeared mysteriously on the same night.

The Public Security Bureau quickly arrived at the scene for investigation, but failed to find any clues. All the doors and windows of the house are locked, and there is no sign of damage or entry. The two seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and their whereabouts have not been found so far.

No relatives were willing to accept the child, so Lana once again returned to the orphanage where she grew up.

Until a month ago, she also disappeared.

The investigation records of the Public Security Department showed that it was a case almost as weird as the disappearance of her adoptive parents, and the sheriff in charge of the investigation also scratched his head and couldn't figure out what happened.

It also happened overnight, in a large dormitory where eight children lived together.

Eight children, which means there were seven people in the room besides the missing Raya. But none of the seven people noticed that something was wrong, only when they woke up in the morning, they were surprised to find that there was one person missing in the room.

The night guard assured that no one alive had entered the building all night, and the sheriff didn't think anyone could take a twelve-year-old girl out of her room without disturbing anyone. And the remaining children also said that the door was still locked when they got up in the morning.

Investigation records show that the case has not progressed so far, and the girl is still missing. But Chu Cheng clearly scanned her dna information from the Yoshimura couple's house, indicating that she had at least appeared there.

After thinking about it, Chu Cheng decided to visit the orphanage first.

The location of the orphanage is relatively remote compared to the urban area. Chu Cheng had never been to such a place in reality, and his impressions of the orphanage were all in movies, books and works.

And this time, although Batman was still remotely operated in front of the computer, it must be admitted that what he saw was still impressive.

It was completely different from what he had imagined. As a place where a group of children live, there is no warmth, no sunshine, and the first impression is more like... Arkham.

That's right, this is really the first impression Batman gave him of this building when he fell outside the door on the screen.

The iron courtyard gate was only locked, and thick old chains were wrapped around the gate like snakes. There was no one in the empty yard, and the cold wind blew through the branches, whispering like ghosts and gods.

The lighting in the courtyard is pretty bad, reminiscent of a horror movie with a ten-stop filter. From the orientation and layout of the yard, it can be seen that the lighting during the day should also be very bad, and it is likely that there will be no sunlight all year round.

Literally a corner where the sun doesn't shine.

Getting into the building was easier than expected. The guard in the security booth next to the gate of the courtyard is reading a newspaper with his legs crossed, while the guard at the bottom of the building is watching short videos on his mobile phone.

Besides, everything from the yard to the building was deserted, and there were almost no signs of living people.

Batman flitted silently down the corridor. As usual, he relied on the perspective of detective mode to avoid eyes and ears, but Chu Cheng once suspected that it was unnecessary. Because even if the full-view perspective of the detective mode is turned on, UU Reading www. uukanshu. The corridors in front, back, left, and right of the com are basically empty.

As he passed a classroom, he noticed some children in it.

But it's not like a normal school or kindergarten—they want to make a mess of the classroom when they're left alone for a while. Here, on the contrary, in a classroom with more than ten or twenty children, they are eerily quiet.

A child sat in a corner, rolling his eyes and drooling. There were also children staring at the blackboard in a daze, twitching from time to time, and making two weird laughs.

And the ones that look normal are also gloomy and eccentric.

Or maybe sanity becomes a curse here, because then you have to learn how to accept reality day by day.

Batman found the target dormitory. Raya's bed is still vacant, but there are other children living in the dormitory, and with the passage of time, most of the clues and traces that might have been left have now disappeared.

He was about to start scanning, but soon he noticed the movement outside through detective mode.

Someone is coming this way.

"The Sheriff's Department is still investigating ... but they also say the chances are low."

It was a man's voice.

"If you want to see for yourself, her bed is over here. But the Public Security Department has been here several times, and it's been a long time. I don't think I can find anything else... ..”

Batman came out of the window before they could enter, and stood on a ledge outside the building, close to the wall.

Chu Cheng observed secretly from the perspective of Batman, and the facial recognition in detective mode quickly recognized who was coming.

The man who spoke was Zhai Liangtao, the director of this orphanage.

And with him comes...

...Fana?
