"I found something." The taciturn Cheng Guoxu searched for a long time in the cabinet under the curtain on the other side, and finally found a file bag, took it over, and then handed the file bag to Mu Qin, seemingly invisible The report confirmed Mnuchin's leadership in the small group of three.

Mu Qin took the document bag from Cheng Guoxu's hand, and took out the documents from the bag. Later, he found that the so-called documents were actually a few sheets of thin paper stapled together, plus a stack of cut-out documents. newspaper. Mouchin casually placed the candlestick he was holding on the tattered table on the church stage, and then began to look through the documents.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Qin realized that these yellowed papers recorded the employee files of the orphanage.

In fact, it is a thin resume with the names, gender, age, date of birth, and ID number of each employee written on it, and a one-inch ID photo is pasted in the upper right corner. Each employee's career and family members are documented below in scribbled handwriting.

All the resumes were stapled together, but Mouchin found that one of the resumes seemed to have been torn off, because the staples still had scraps of paper from the torn paper.

The torn marks are new, as if they were just torn off.

After discovering this detail, Mu Qin silently raised his head and glanced at Cheng Guoxu. After Cheng Guoxu gave the document to Mu Qin, he did not leave, but stood next to Mu Qin, pretending to read the document with him. So Mu Qin didn't say much, and continued to look down at the documents.

Judging from these employee resumes, there are more female employees in the orphanage, and only one or two male employees. Most of them are around 20 to 30 years old, and their education level does not seem to be very high.

At first, Mu Qin didn't think these resumes were meaningful, until he found Han Li's resume in a few resumes.

Han Li's resume is the last one, and the word "Han Li" is clearly written in the name column. At first, Mu Qin thought it was the same name, but he saw Han Li's one-inch photo on the upper right corner. The photo is very small. Moreover, the Han Li in the photo is obviously much younger than the Han Li that Mu Qin sees now, probably in her twenties, but her facial features can still make Mu Qin recognize her easily.

Han Li's resume is simple and clear, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, but since her resume appears in the employee files of this orphanage, it proves that she has worked in this orphanage before. Before arriving, Han Li said that she had been a kindergarten teacher...

Mu Qin thought about it, and felt that there was something strange about it.

Since Han Li used to work in an orphanage, and it seems that she has been working for a long time, she is undoubtedly very familiar with this orphanage, but she did not truthfully inform Mu Qin and others of her situation. People, she chooses to hide and keep her mouth shut, but why should she hide it

In fact, the answer is easy to speculate. Mu Qin first thought of the cause of Han Li's death. Xu Fu had previously speculated that Han Li was drugged by her students and killed.

And Han Li is a junior high school teacher, who teaches a group of students from the first to third grades, aged about twelve to sixteen. A teenage child knows how to drug to kill, so what is the motivation of this child to drug and murder his teacher

This is also easy to guess, most likely there is an irreversible conflict with the teacher. Generally, children’s psychological endurance is not bad. In school, it is common to be scolded by teachers for various reasons such as not doing homework. The teacher swears a few words and then kills with cruel hands. Maybe Han Li used corporal punishment or even worse methods to arouse the hatred of the students and even make the students murderous.

It can be seen that Han Li's character is not particularly good.

The following speculation is even more obvious. Han Li said that she worked as a kindergarten teacher, and this employee file in the orphanage shows that Han Li's so-called job as a kindergarten teacher probably means being a nanny for orphans in this orphanage.

Reminiscent of the various negative reports that came out of the Iris Orphanage, the remarks accusing the staff of the orphanage of being suspected of abusing children, and the fact that Han Li kept secret about the fact that she had worked in the orphanage, Mu Qin felt that Han Li might be doing something wrong. Because of the immorality of child abuse, he dared not admit that he had worked in this orphanage in front of Mu Qin and others.

But so what

Mu Qin took Han Li's resume and thought about it... Now they are all in this closed orphanage, surrounded by high walls and iron gates, trapped here and unable to go anywhere, and there is another The terrible killer is after them.

In such a critical situation, Han Li's past...is not important to Mu Qin, he doesn't bother to care about what Han Li did before, he just wants to know how to get out of this place.

Xu Fu said that they were already dead, and after they were dead, they were sent into this game by a mysterious force and sent to this map.

Xu Fu's words made Mu Qin dubious. Although Mu Qin did have the memory of his "death", he remembered a big truck hitting him head-on, and he could even recall the sound of his internal organs bursting.

But this kind of memory is like a dream. Now he is standing here intact, his body and limbs are still there, and he can still hear his own heartbeat and breathing. He is clearly alive, really alive, which makes Mu Qin I can't tell the difference between dream and reality.

Mu Qin took the document Cheng Guoxu gave him and continued to flip through it a few times, and then saw a stack of newspapers under the employee's resume.

This stack of newspapers is the same as the newspapers searched by Mu Qin before. It also reported various negative news about the Iris Orphanage, but there were several extremely bad crime reports, such as:

"An eight-year-old girl was found dumped in the wilderness, suspected of being abused before her death."

This title made Mu Qin couldn't help but read the news carefully. It said that the body of an eight-year-old girl was found. She had been dead for several days and had begun to rot. It was discovered in the suburban woods a few meters away. The forensic examination revealed that she was raped and beaten before she died. The girl was an orphan registered in the orphanage. The police speculated that she was raped by some employees in the orphanage. Intensify the investigation" end.

Mu Qin flipped through the newspaper again. Not only did he not see the follow-up report, but he saw more news about orphans of similar age who were raped and killed and then abandoned in the wilderness. After counting, there were about five orphans in the Iris Orphanage Children were killed in succession. It seemed that this was a vicious incident of serial child abuse and murder. However, Mu Qin turned the stack of newspapers to the end and found no news that the police had solved the case.

After thinking about it, the reason is that Mu Qin believes that these victims are just orphans, without father and mother, and the social attention is very low.

Seeing this, Mu Qin closed the document in his hand. He raised his head and looked at Cheng Guoxu again, but suddenly found that Cheng Guoxu was also looking at Mu Qin.

Cheng Guoxu's facial features are not very good, the end of his eyes and the corners of his mouth are always drooping, which gives people a "very unhappy" feeling, especially when he stares at you, those pair of eyes There seemed to be dark and dirty emotions in the eyes.

Cheng Guoxu didn't seem to dare to look at Mu Qin for too long, and soon he lowered his head again, and resumed his usual taciturn posture. Mu Qin squinted his eyes and stared at him for a long time, and finally didn't say anything unnecessary to him, but Throwing the documents in his hand everywhere, he went to find Qiu Zijia.

At this moment, Qiu Zijia had turned the entire chapel aside, held up a candle and shook his head at Mu Qin, "There's nothing in this damn place."

Mu Qin looked back at the second floor of the church. The second floor of this small church is not closed, but open, with corridor railings, presenting a "U" shape facing the stage on the first floor, which means standing On the stage on the first floor, you can directly see the roof of the church when you look up.

Mu Qin glanced at the collapsed stairs leading to the second floor, and said: "There must be something important waiting for us to explore on the second floor, but we can't go up now, it's best to find a ladder or something else Tools, climbing up with bare hands is too time-consuming."

"I know where there is a ladder." Cheng Guoxu said coldly.

Qiu Zijia asked strangely when he heard the words: "How do you know where there is a ladder?"

These words seemed to make Cheng Guoxu slightly taken aback. After a subtle pause, Cheng Guoxu said: "The roof of this church is very high, and the position of the wall lamp is also very high. If they want to clean the dust on the roof or change the light bulb for the wall lamp , will definitely use a ladder... Maybe there will be a nearby utility room or something."

Qiu Zijia nodded understandingly after hearing this: "That's true, although this church is not big, it is a sacred place after all, and the staff will definitely clean it up every day. Maybe the ladder is placed where they put cleaning tools... Let's go outside to see Let's see."

Mu Qin had no objection, and several people nodded, and walked to the gate of the chapel one after another. Just when they were about to open the door and go out, they heard slight... wet footsteps from outside, the kind of footsteps on the ground. Although the sound from the stone-brick stairs was not obvious on a stormy and rainy night, it was still detected by Mu Qin and the others who were tense.

At that time, Mu Qin stopped Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu who were beside him, and said in a low voice, "Turn off the lights and hide."

After speaking, Mu Qin blew out the faintly burning candle in his hand, and the other two followed suit. The inside of the church was already very dark, but it became even darker when the candles were blown out. Mu Qin and others followed the darkness, stooped, and quickly hid in the gaps between the rows of seats in the church, squatted down and climbed under the chairs.

This was a very critical moment, because the door of the church over there was pushed open from the outside just as Mu Qin and the others hid. With the opening of the door, the sound of wind and rain outside the church also followed the movement of the door, turbulently penetrated into the interior of this small church, and the cold and damp atmosphere rushed towards him. Mu Qin huddled under the chair in the dark corner, In his hand, he held the candlestick that had just been extinguished and was still a little hot.

Mu Qin silently groped with his fingers on the ground, and gently and slowly put the burning candlestick on the ground, trying not to make any noise. A woman's voice was justifying from the opened door, the voice was small and intermittent: "I really don't know... I left this orphanage many years ago... I haven't done that kind of thing. thing!"
