This is an anti-theft seal, it will be replaced after one hour. “This is in trouble.” Cheng Guoxu’s words made Mu Qin frowned in embarrassment.
And Qiu Zijia said: “Don’t worry about her, since she is left behind, it means that she is looking for death on her own.”
“What I want to know is whether she left by herself or was taken away. If the former is okay, we can leave it alone. But if it is the latter…” Muqin sighed, “It’s very Trouble.”
Qiu Zijia said: “Do you think that woman will go away by herself?”
“I don’t know.” Muqin shook his head.
As soon as Muqin’s voice fell, everyone suddenly heard a sharp scream from the stairwell at the end of the corridor.
This scream was obviously a female voice. Mu Qin and the others instantly recognized that it was Han Li’s voice. They looked at each other. Qiu Zijia was still a bit hesitant, but Mu Qin had already stepped toward the source of the sound.
“Wait a minute!” Qiu Zijia reached out to stop Mu Qin from letting him go, and said at the same time, “Don’t go there, what if it’s a trap?”
Mu Qin turned to look at Qiu Zijia: “So you don’t want to save her, right?”
Qiu Zijia was a little embarrassed, so she didn’t reply. He really didn’t want to save Han Li. To put it bluntly, Qiu Zijia was not a just and awe-inspiring person. In the face of possible and unknown dangers, he just wanted to save himself.
Mu Qin didn’t speak either. He stared at Qiu Zijia with dark and deep eyes. He was so calm that Qiu Zijia couldn’t help feeling horrified.
Qiu Zijia found that Mu Qin seemed to be too calm. Since the first time they met, Mu Qin hasn’t changed much emotionally on this person’s face. Whether it’s a smile, an angry, or surprised expression, he is faint, and his tone is also indifferent.
Muqin said: “This is the second floor. This apartment has five floors. Only the left end of the corridor has a staircase for up and down. Unless we jump from the window in the corridor, it doesn’t matter if we want to go up or down. You have to go through that stairwell.”
“And Han Li’s voice just came from the stairwell. No matter what, if you don’t want to be blocked here, you must pass.” Mu Qin said and looked towards the end of the corridor, on the corridor over there. There seems to be something wrong with the lamp, which is flickering and dimming.
Han Li made no other sound after screaming, and the apartment building of the orphanage fell into deathly silence.
Mu Qin took the lead. He broke off a steel pipe as a weapon from the heating pipe on the side of the corridor by the window. The steel pipe was so corroded that it was easy to break off.
Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia followed him, they walked lightly and quickly towards the stairwell, and then they found that the lights at the corner of the stairwell had been turned off by somebody. It was obvious that they had all turned off when they came up. The light is turned on.
“Han Li!?” Mu Qin shouted at the pitch-black stairwell. His voice echoed in the narrow aisle, but he could not hear any response.
If only there was a flashlight.
Mu Qin thought so, but had to hold the rusty steel pipe in his hand, bent his back against the wall, and started walking downstairs.
Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated for a while, but they still leaned forward to heel.
Mu Qin walked down a flight of stairs against the wall, and touched the light switch at the corner of the stairwell. At this time, Mu Qin smelled a strange fishy smell in the air. He was familiar with the smell, so he felt With some preparation, I pressed the switch to illuminate this small area.
“My god!” Qiu Zijia immediately cried out in horror when the lights turned on. He jumped three feet high, and he couldn’t help but stick to Mu Qin’s back.
In front of them, a person who didn’t know whether he was alive or dead was lying on the steps at the corner of the stairs. The person was covered in blood. The blood was splashed on the wall. There was a huge wound on his back, which was obviously What sharp weapon did the person use to scratch.
The man seemed to be struggling for a long time before he died, and the **** handprints remained on the wall beside him.
“He… is he dead?” Qiu Zijia has lived for 28 years and basically hasn’t seen blood. The conditions in his family are good, and his parents are very spoiled. He has not been allowed to do heavy work, and there are no chickens. Killed one, let alone suddenly saw such a **** dead person.
At this moment, Qiu Zijia was trembling with fear, hiding behind Mu Qin and shaking, but Cheng Guoxu next to him was much calmer than him, although Cheng Guoxu’s face was a little pale.
Mu Qin stabilized his mind for a while, walked over to squat down, and stretched out his hand to feel the pulse on the opponent’s neck. He started to feel a little warm. It may be that there was residual temperature shortly after he died, but he couldn’t feel the pulse anymore.
Mu Qin said solemnly: “It seems to be dead.”
Qiu Zijia shivered: “This guy is not Han Li, he looks like he is a man.”
“It’s not Xu Fu, he doesn’t have a similar body shape. It should be the one among the six people mentioned by Xu Fu that has not been found.” Mu Qin stretched out his hand and grabbed the corpse’s arm, trying to turn the person over. face.
“Don’t, he is full of blood!” Qiu Zijia seemed afraid, and wanted to stop Mu Qin, but Mu Qin had already turned the person over. But turning it over was useless, because after turning it over, everyone found that the corpse’s face was also full of blood, and it looked like it had been scratched with a very large mouth of blood, from the left eye to the right chin, so the whole face was flesh and blood. Fuzzy.
Qiu Zijia leaned her head to take a look at the corpse’s terrible face, and couldn’t help covering her eyes with her hand: “Mom, it’s so miserable, I can’t see what it looks like at all.”
Mu Qin did not pay attention to this. He carefully observed the body shape of the dead body. The figure of the deceased was actually very good. It should be a big man of about 1.8 meters. His arms, chest and abdomen were very strong. Mu Qin pulled away. On the sleeves and placket, tight and strong muscles can be seen.
Such a man of very good height and physique shouldn’t be killed easily, especially since he didn’t make any noise before he died.
Just now, Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and others were searching on the second floor, and the man died at the corner of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.
If he is struggling to call for help, Muchin and the others can hear him.
Unless this stairwell is not the first scene of death, someone dragged his body to the corner of the stairs after killing this guy.
However, this behavior is meaningless, time-consuming and laborious, and Muqin can’t think of a reason for the murderer to do this.
Thinking Muqin couldn’t help grasping the arm of the corpse, and Bala looked at the neckline of his clothes carefully, trying to discover more details from the corpse.
Then, Muqin discovered that the fatal injury to the corpse was probably a bone-in-depth cut in his neck, which may have damaged his carotid artery. Therefore, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground and the walls everywhere.
Mu Qin is not a forensic doctor, and cannot identify the severity of these injuries, but he guessed that this person might have encountered the so-called “killer” or “ghost”, and then he was stabbed in the neck by the ghost, and he covered his neck. He wanted to escape, but was hurt by the ghost on his face and back.
Because of a stabbing on the neck, the vocal cords may have been damaged, so there was no voice calling for help. This is why Muqin and others did not hear a voice on the second floor.
And…
Mu Qin followed the blood stains under the corpse and looked down the stairs. This person may have come from the outside courtyard. A lot of blood was dripped along the way he came. Following these blood stains, you should be able to find this person’s encounter. The first scene of the attack.
Qiu Zijia has calmed down a bit now, not shivering as before. Although his face is still pale, he still mustered up the courage to cover his nose and squat beside Mu Qin.
“The female teacher probably screamed when she saw the corpse.” Qiu Zijia muffled and said to Mu Qin, “She might have seen the killer, so she ran away.”
Mu Qin declined to comment on Qiu Zijia’s opinion. He is still observing the body.
“There are two footprints.” Muqin said suddenly.
Qiu Zijia did not respond: “What?”
Mu Qin pointed to the blood stain next to the corpse, where there were obvious footprints left by the foot stepping on the blood stain.
“One is a woman.” Muqin pointed to the footprint that looks relatively small, and then pointed to the obviously larger footprint next to him, “This should be a killer.”
“The two footprints were very close, and the woman’s footprint disappeared within a few steps. I am afraid it was caught by the killer and carried away.” Muqin used simple traces to infer what might have happened in the scene.
And Qiu Zijia looked at Mu Qin in shock: “Brother, you are amazing. Are you a soldier or a detective?”
Mu Qin sighed and said, “This is the basic investigative ability.”
After speaking, Mu Qin stood up from the corpse, he was still holding the corpse’s arm, and now he subconsciously wanted to let go. However, at this moment, I don’t know if it was Mu Qin’s illusion, Mu Qin felt the arm of the corpse in his hand tremble suddenly.
This made Muqin startled, his eyes widened sharply, and he stared down at the corpse.
But the corpse is still a corpse. This man who looks good in shape has already lay on the ground and turned into a piece of dead flesh that is beginning to rot.
Maybe it is the muscle contraction caused by nerve twitching after death. Mu Qin thought to himself, but still squinted at the corpse for a long time.
Until Qiu Zijia next to him felt something was wrong, he watched nervously the wind and grass around him, the sky had completely darkened, and it started to rain, the air became damp and cold, and he could still vaguely hear raindrops falling on the concrete floor. The sound on the dirt.
The torn marks are new, as if they were just torn off.
Mu Qin who discovered this detail silently raised his head and glanced at Cheng Guoxu. Cheng Guoxu gave the documents to Mu Qin and did not leave. Instead, he stood next to Mu Qin and pretended to read the documents with him. . So Muqin didn’t say much, and continued to look down at these documents.
From these resumes, it can be seen that there are more women in the orphanage, and there are only one or two men. Most of them are in their 20s to 30s, and they don’t seem to be very educated. high.
At first, Mu Qin didn’t think these resumes had any meaning, until he found Han Li’s resume in the resumes.
Han Li’s resume is the last one. The name “Han Li” is clearly written in the column of name. Originally, Mu Qin thought it was the same name, but he saw a one-inch photo of Han Li in the upper right corner. The photo is small and yellowish. The Han Li in the photo is obviously much younger than the Han Li that Mu Qin sees now. She is probably what she looked like in her twenties, but her facial features can still make Mu Qin easily recognize her. come out.
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. , And think of Han Li’s message that she had been a kindergarten teacher…
Mu Qin thought for a while, and found it a bit weird,
Since Han Li has worked in an orphanage, she seems to have worked for a long time, so she is undoubtedly familiar with the orphanage, but she did not truthfully tell her situation Mu Qin and others, she chose to conceal and kept silent, but why should she conceal it?
Actually, the answer is easy to speculate. Mu Qin first thought of the cause of Han Li’s death. Xu Fu previously speculated that Han Li was killed by her students after being drugged.
Han Li is a junior high school teacher who teaches a group of students from the first to the third grade, aged between 12 and 16 years old. A teenage child knows **** someone with drugs, so what is the motive of the kid who kills his teacher by drugging it?
It’s also easy to guess. Most of them have irreversible contradictions with teachers. Generally, children’s psychological endurance is pretty good. It is common for teachers to be scolded by teachers for various reasons such as not doing homework. It is impossible to be brutally murdered after being scolded by the teacher. Maybe it is Han Li’s corporal punishment or worse methods that caused the hatred of the students and even made the students murderous.
It can be seen that Han Li’s character is not particularly good.
The next guess is even more obvious. Han Li said that she had worked as a kindergarten teacher, and this employee file that exists in the orphanage shows that Han Li’s so-called kindergarten teacher job is probably to take care of orphans in this orphanage.
Reminiscent of various negative/face-to-face reports exploded in the Iris Flower Orphanage, the remarks accuse the employees of the orphanage of suspicion of child abuse, and Han Li is very secretive about the fact that she has worked in the orphanage. Han Li may have done such unscrupulous things as child abuse, so she dare not admit that she once 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, iron gates, etc., trapped here, they can’t go anywhere. , There is a terrible killer chasing them.
In such a critical situation, Han Li’s past… is not important to Muqin. He doesn’t bother to care about what Han Li has done before. He just wants to know how to leave this place.
Xu Fu said that they were dead, and they were sent into this game by a mysterious power after death, and sent to this map.
Xu Fu’s words have made Mu Qin dubious. Although Mu Qin does have the memory of his “death”, he remembers a big truck hitting him head-on, and he can even recall the sound of his internal organs cracking.
But this kind of memory is like a dream. He is standing here now intact, with all his limbs still there, and he can hear his heartbeat and breathing. He is clearly alive, a real alive, this Muqin couldn’t distinguish between dreams and reality.
Mu Qin continued to flip through the documents that Cheng Guoxu gave him, and then saw a stack of newspapers under the staff resume.
This stack of newspapers, like those previously searched by Muqin, also reported various negative/face-to-face news about the Iris Orphanage, but there were several reports of extremely bad crimes, such as:
“An eight-year-old girl was found tossed in the wilderness and was suspected of being abused/humiliated before death.”
This headline made Muqin couldn’t help but read this 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 a distance from the Iris Orphanage. Found in a suburban forest almost a few hundred meters away. The forensic medical examination said that she was raped/violent and beaten before her death. This girl was an orphan registered in the orphanage. The police speculated that she was assaulted by some employees in the orphanage. After a dozen nonsense, she said ” The police are stepping up their investigation” at the end.
Mu Qin flipped the newspaper back again, not only did he not see follow-up reports, but instead saw more news about orphans of about the same age being bullied/humiliated and then abandoned in the wilderness. Counted, Iris Orphans Approximately five children were killed in a row in the hospital. It seems that this was a series of vicious incidents involving the killing of children. However, Muqin turned the stack of newspapers to the end and saw no news of the police solving the case.
Thinking about it, the reason is that Muqin believes that these victims are just orphans, without fathers and mothers, and the social attention is very low, and I am afraid that they will not end in the end.
Seeing this, Mu Qin closed the file 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, and it looks like a “very unhappy” feeling, especially when he stares at you. , Those eyes seemed to reveal dark and dirty emotions.
Cheng Guoxu didn’t seem to dare to look at Mu Qin for too long. Soon he lowered his head again and resumed his usual taciturn posture. Mu Qin squinted at him for a long time, and finally did not say anything to him. , But tossed the documents in his hand everywhere, and went to look for Qiu Zijia.
At this moment, Qiu Zijia has turned the entire chapel to one side, holding a candle and shook his head at Mu Qin: “There is nothing in this ghost place.”
Mu Qin looked back at the second floor of the church. The second floor of this chapel is not closed, but open, with corridor railings, showing a “U” shape facing the stage on the first floor. That is to say, 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 staircase to the second floor and said: “There must be something important on the second floor waiting for us to explore, but now we can’t go up, it’s better to find it. Ladder or other tools, it takes too much time to climb up with bare hands.”
“I know where there are ladders.” Cheng Guoxu said coldly.
When Qiu Zijia heard this, he asked strangely: “How do you know where there is a ladder?”
These words seemed to make Cheng Guoxu a little stunned. After a subtle pause, Cheng Guoxu said: “The church’s roof 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 give the wall lamp If you change the light bulb, you will definitely use a ladder…maybe there will be a utility room nearby.”
Qiu Zijia nodded clearly after hearing this: “That’s right, although this church is not big, but after all, the sacred place, the staff will definitely clean it daily, and the ladder may be placed where they put the cleaning tools… Let’s go and take a look outside.”
Mu Qin had no objection. Several people nodded and walked to the gate of the chapel. When they just wanted to open the door to go out, they heard a slight…wet footsteps outside. The sound of the foot stepping on the stone brick stairs, although the sound was not obvious on a stormy and rainy night, it was still noticed by Muqin’s nervous people.
At that time, Mu Qin stopped Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu who were beside him, and said in a low voice: “Turn off the light and hide.”
After Mu Qin blew out the faintly lit candle in his hand, the other two followed suit. The inside of the church was already very dim, but when the candles were blown out, it became even more dim. Mu Qin and the others followed the darkness, hunched their waists, and quickly hid among the rows of seats in the church, squatted down and climbed under the chairs.
This is a very critical moment, because the door of the church over there was pushed open from the outside as soon as Muqin and the others hid. With the opening of the door, the sound of wind and rain outside the church followed the movement of the door, tumbling into the interior of this small church, the cold and humid breath rushed towards him, Mu Qin shrank under the chair in the dark corner, He held the candlestick that had just been extinguished and was a little hot.
Mu Qin quietly fumbled with his fingers on the ground, and placed the candlestick with his hot hands on the ground gently and slowly, trying not to make any noisy noises, just when he concentrated on doing so. At that time, there was a woman’s defensive voice from the door that was opened. The voice was very small and intermittent: “I really don’t know… I left this orphanage many years ago… I Have never done that kind of thing!”
It’s not that he didn’t think about the happiness he might get between Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue is a caring person. When he was with him, Mu Qin could experience the best and most irreplaceable time in his life. . However, it was precisely because of cherishing this time that Mu Qin finally chose to give up.
He had already seen how huge the gap between himself and Zhou Yue was.
Zhou Yue’s Zhou family is the most famous family in that province and city. It is said that the family history can be traced back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. His ancestors were in jade business before, and their wealth is rich and can be regarded as a wealthy country.
Since the Qing Dynasty did not fall behind, the Zhou family declined for a period of time due to the turmoil of the war at that time, but then the Zhou family started from scratch, trading stocks and real estate, and founded a first-class enterprise, which is well-known in China and the world.
As the only child of the Zhou family’s parents, the Zhou family has placed heavy expectations on Zhou Yue. From childhood to adulthood, he has to undergo strict elite education, and he needs to learn a lot of things related to business, finance, corporate management, etc., because Sooner or later, he will take over the enterprise of his father’s generation. His life has been arranged from the moment he was born, and the road has been paved, and he only needs to move forward impartially on this road and keep moving forward.
Piano is only Zhou Yue’s hobby that his fairly enlightened parents allow him to learn. Even if Zhou Yue’s talent in music is high, even if this is Zhou Yue’s own dream, in the end, he still can’t pursue what he loves. His music cannot be a musician on his stage.
Mu Qin asked Zhou Yue about his future plans. He thought that Zhou Yue would resist the life arranged at home, but Zhou Yue shook his head and said, “That’s it.”
“Don’t you feel a pity?” Muqin looked at his beautiful hands disappointedly. “You should stand on the stage, sit by the piano, be illuminated by the spotlight, and win everyone’s applause. This is not you. Your dream?”
Zhou Yue said: “If it is so easy to achieve, it is not a dream. It is also very good for me to take over the enterprise of my father’s generation, and I can make a lot of money. I can also take you around the world!”
