At the same time, Lu Yizhan and his colleagues are also investigating the case of missing children in the orphanage.
"You said, this matter should be under the supervision of the Criminal Police Brigade, or some special department?" The colleague at Lu Yizhan didn't look good. "Look at the surveillance footage of the missing child. How can we handle this?"
"Four children heard a flute sound in the early morning and last night, and then they lined up to go out and play in the central children's park. The most evil thing is that these children don't seem to be hypnotized or sleepwalking at all, they will even escape specially. Surveillance, this shows that the four children are all conscious, and they are swinging in the Xiaopo Children’s Park. An hour later, these children suddenly disappeared from the surveillance!"
The colleague was talking and cursing: "Damn, but the child is gone. The equipment is still moving. I didn't sleep well yesterday after watching the surveillance..."
After speaking, the colleague at Lu Yizhan couldn't help but rubbed his arm, and he got goose bumps: "Now there are 5 children left. They were originally going to be transferred to other welfare institutions, but now the hospital is making trouble again. It's something, everyone must stay in this orphanage on standby to be investigated, it's damn weird!"
Lu Yizhan frowned: "Go and ask the dean first."
"President? I don't think she can say anything." The colleague at Lu Yizhan whispered, "This old woman never reported the missing child! If it weren't for the follow-up from the hospital, the mushroom poisoned and killed someone. This case has been upgraded to one level. When we came to strictly clean up the children, we found that the number of people was wrong and there were four fewer. No one knew that there were still missing children!"
"Then we have to go over and ask." Lu Yizhan said calmly, "She must know something."
In the dean's office, Mu Ke's father has discussed the donation with the dean and went to talk with others. There is only the old dean in the dean's office.
The old dean sat in a chair and looked at the Lu Yizhan who came to look for her with drooping eyes.
At the head of Lu Yi station, the old dean suddenly laughed. She opened the drawer tremblingly, pulled out a bunch of receipts and handed it to Lu Yi station: "Young man, are you new here? I report every time I disappeared. But in which year did you find my child back? So I didn't report it at all this time. Anyway, our orphanage is about to close down."
Lu Yizhan frowned and looked at the alarm receipt that the old dean handed him.
This receipt is from the oldest one ten years ago, and all of them are reported missing children, but the investigation reference opinion is that the children run away by themselves, so there is no follow-up.
"Our private orphanage will hold a Children's Day performance every year for the well-meaning people who invested in our orphanage, so that the bosses who spend money can see the situation of the children they raise, but after the annual Children's Day report, we There will be children missing in this orphanage, and the results of the investigation are all the children who try their own way to get out."
The old dean said slowly: "At that time, your police still suspected that our orphanage was abusing children, so the children would [run away from home]. However, the investigation found that there was no abuse here. Even if these children wanted to run, we did not. You haven't done anything unusual to these children, what human organs are being sold, what kind of pedophile trade, you have investigated this place all the time, haven't you found it?"
The old dean opened his eyelids: "It's very common. Very ordinary children run away from home and disappear."
"It's hard to find missing children. These small bean dots are like a grain of rice falling into a sea of people. You look for these children who deliberately avoid you, and you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, so every year you disappear."
A colleague at Lu Yizhan couldn't help but interject: "But this time watching the surveillance, the children in the park are gone when they sit on a swing! This is not a missing case!"
"What you said is too strange, how could it happen? It's because our monitoring has been used for a long time, and it's old and old." The old dean downplayed, "Maybe it's possible that it's broken?"
The colleague at Lu Yizhan was choked with a heart attack, and he was stopped by Lu Yizhan just as he wanted to sternly question the old dean.
Lu Yizhan asked calmly: "Dean, it’s our fault to find the child, but you should still report it, and you should not report it for more than this year? I just turned over your receipt. For several years No, and you said that every year there are children missing, so what is the truth?"
The old dean was silent for a few minutes, turned around and found a large file bag from the bookcase behind her, which was filled with dust. She blew off the dust on it, pulled the thread on it, and pulled it out from it. A thick book like a photo album, and then open it.
The first page is the "200x Children's Welfare Institute Art Performance Photo"-this is obviously the archive of this private orphanage.
Dozens of children in the photo above stood a little restrained and cramped beside a group of successful people in suits and leather shoes, showing a cute and fake smile that had been taught thousands of times, a little lipstick on the forehead, and smeared lips. It is red, vulgar and old.
"There are children missing every year, but I do not report it every year." The old dean looked at the child in the photo, and his tone stretched. It won’t be long before it will go bankrupt, so it’s okay to tell you about these old things."
"Many children here are actually not so easy to discipline. To say that it sounds good is to have a personality, to say that it is ugly is to have a wild temperament, and they like to run outside."
"Some of them did not run away from home, but escaped guilt."
The old dean turned another page as he talked. This page is similar to the record diary of early childhood development. It says: [Orphan Bailiu, Xiao Ke and other five people beaten up after the June 1st performance and came to watch the performance. The investor robbed the investor’s property and mobile phone, and was given a penalty of cleaning the whole hospital and a day’s fast. Follow-up, depending on whether the situation is corrected, will continue to be punished]
"For example, this group of children beat investors after the show, and then ran away that night. I didn't report the incident and let them run with one eye closed, because if they didn't run, these children would be caught in this house. The welfare institutions invested by a few investors will not end well."
The old dean's finger clicked on the punishment, which was meaningful: "At least the punishment can't be just a day of fasting."
"Dean, can I take a look at the group photo?" Lu Yizhan's focus was elsewhere, and his expression on his face was more solemn than ever.
The dean handed the portfolio to Lu Yizhan. Lu Yizhan turned to the previous page of the [200x Children's Welfare Institute Art Performance Photo]. His eyes quickly searched for the child in the photo, and finally locked in a child on the edge of the corner. superior.
Even if the child was put on lipstick, with a big red dot on the eyebrows, it did not look funny, but had a very subtle beauty of a little girl, but this beauty was destroyed by his unwavering eyes, showing a He was so precocious that he was beyond age, and the other children seemed to be all idiots in his cold eyes, which was very eye-catching.
No one is more familiar with this period of this face than Lu Yizhan.
Lu Yizhan's eyes fell motionless on the child in this photo. He pointed to the child and looked up at the old dean: "Who is this child? What's his name?"
"Is this kid?" The old dean looked at it for a while, and seemed to be lost in memory. "He was the kid who took the lead in beating the investor and ran away, so I remember him very deeply. When he came to the orphanage, he only said that he was It's called Bai, and it's called Bai Liu."
"No." Lu Yizhan put his hands on the table with a "pop" and stared at the old dean. "His name is Bai Liu. He was indeed once called Bai Liu, but he changed his name when he was fourteen. I never called that name again. He came out of the public welfare institution with me. It is impossible for him to appear in this private welfare institution at the same time!"
"But..." The old dean looked at Lu Yizhan with a confused look, "Did you admit the wrong person? This kid named Bailiu, shortly after escaping, the investor found it back by means, and he Failing to leave here, Bai Liu died soon after he was found back."
"Dead? The cause of his death... What is it?" Lu Yizhan asked in a strange voice.
The old dean sighed: "It's a strange way to die. He accidentally swallowed a strange coin. A hole was opened in the middle of the coin. He swallowed it into the trachea. In a few minutes, no one was gone, because he In our orphanage, we suffered some very bad things before and after we left, so...we all suspect that Bai Liu committed suicide."
Lu Yizhan moved his gaze stiffly, and looked at Bai Liu, who had no expression on his face in the black-and-white photo. He drooped his eyelids loosely, looking to the side as if a little sleepy, and the hanging hair was wet, as if he was being performed. Soaked with sweat, Lu Yizhan felt that his chest was invisible and heavily suppressed by these weird things. He looked at the thin boy in the photo and felt a little breathless.
That was Bailiu ten years ago.

Bai Liu stepped forward and picked up the doll next to the seesaw. This is a handmade doll. Obviously the reference template is him, but the texture is very old, but there is still a trace of ribbon on his doll’s leg. It feels like it should be a handmade gift doll-generally this kind of gift doll will have a gift or production date
Bai Liu searched the doll to try to find out if there was a date, and finally found a line of handwritten date inside the screwed head.
This is indeed a doll from ten years ago.
And Bai Liu has only been working for two or three years. He only started to dress up the doll in the shirt and suit pants after work. The coin hanging around his neck was only obtained after Bai Liu joined the game not long ago. Systematic Embodiment carrier.
His current costume was used to order a doll ten years ago, and his head and limbs were twisted off and left here.
Bai Liu narrowed his eyes.
