Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Doll (2)

As Zheng Wei said, although the dean is not very old, but because of the fire, her body stepped down overnight, she sat down with crutches and squinted with a smile and asked, "Who are you, which two children?"

Presumably she misunderstood that the two were children who had been taken in by an orphanage, Lin Mu hurriedly explained, "We are police, and we have come to you to learn something." ”

Grandma Dean's mouth immediately shrank into a small circle, and she nodded nervously.

"Fu Yanpei and Fan Simo, do you still have an impression?" In order to better evoke her memory, Lin Mu brought two normal photos of the deceased and put them in front of the dean, but the dean said before he could see it, "Of course, as long as I take over the child, I remember the name you say." ”

"It's a pity that the fire ten years ago burned us all away, and there are very few people who come back to see it, and the reason why I still live here is because I am afraid that the children will not find me when they come back. ”

"Did something happen to the two of them?"

As soon as the words fell, a long-haired girl walked in outside the door, and because her back was to the light, her appearance could not be seen at first.

"This ......" the girl hesitated outside the door for a long time, and wanted to leave.

"Nini, there's a guest at home, you put down your things and go back to your room. The dean beckoned to the girl at the door, and the girl walked in with her head bowed quickly, and walked to the kitchen with the ingredients in her hand.

Until the girl disappeared from her eyes, Lin Mu never saw her appearance clearly, I don't know if it was intentional, half of her face was tightly covered by long hair, quite like Sadako in a movie.

"I'm sorry for both of you. Seeing this, the dean said, "This child, she burned her face in the disaster ten years ago, and she is very reluctant to see the living. ”

"Is that what she's been taking care of you?"

"Hey, take care of each other, she's not going to get out of this house. The dean looked sadly in the direction of the kitchen, "At that time, she was only six or seven years old, pitiful." ”

"And what she just had in her hand?"

"Oh, I'm not in good health, and this kid doesn't want to go out, but luckily I have friends who are willing to bring us something from time to time, and we'll just pay for it. ”

"That's right. ”

"You haven't said it yet, what happened to Pei Pei and Si Mo?" The dean already had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he should have known with his toes that the police could not come to the door.

"They were killed. Lin Mu and Zheng Wei glanced at each other, "Can you still think of some of their things, no matter how small they are." ”

"What?" exclaimed the dean, drawing the kitchen girl out, hiding behind the door and listening to the movement.

"How can this be? Pei Pei and Si Mo are not ......"

"No, Dean, do you remember something?"

"Oh, I mean, both kids are very well-behaved. The dean turned slightly sideways and straightened the couch covers, "How did they die?"

"It's miserable," Lin Mu didn't say anything about the specific death for fear of irritating the dean, "Do you know what relationship they once had with dolls?"

It's not that I haven't considered what perverts the two of them have provoked, but after an investigation, the possibility was ruled out, and the only intersection was that they once lived together in an orphanage.

"I remember that they were seven years old and ten years old, and they still liked to play with dolls, and the two of them always loved to play together. The dean took a sip of water and continued, "We had very few toys for them to play with at that time, and they were all donated by some well-wishers, so there have been cases of children snatching toys between them, but this kind of children are normal and not serious enough to kill." ”

"Did there ever be a child who always competed with them for toys before, and the kind with a very weird personality? ”

"No," she shook her head firmly, "our children here are very sensible and well-behaved, and they won't do that again after saying it well." ”

"Did Fu Yanpei and Fan Simo come back to see you?"

"Nope. ”

"Oh, by the way, what's going on with that fire, I read on the news that it was a misfire caused by a naughty child. ”

"That's the case, and it's also to blame me for not doing a good job in safety education. The dean frowned uneasily, looking quite flustered.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, we just wanted to find out. Looking at the dean's expression, Lin Mu only thought that she blamed herself, so she changed the question, "That child, have you been staying by your side?"

Catching a glimpse of the flickering shadow of the kitchen, the dean replied, "yes, where else can she go, alas." ”

"Then does she know something about Fu Yanpei and the others?" After all, they are peers and friends who are together, and they don't necessarily know less than the dean.

But the dean looked a little embarrassed, "She shouldn't know much, and she doesn't want to talk to strangers." ”

"Can you please ask her to come out, I'll just ask. Lin Mu pleaded with the dean, which made her shake, but unexpectedly, before she could speak, the girl took the initiative to come out and set the meal on her own.

"Nini, come over and ask you about something. Seeing Nini walking over in small steps, the dean took her hand and comforted, "It's okay." ”

Nini nodded in agreement, she mustered up the courage to raise her head, and from the other half of her face, she could still see that she was a delicate girl.

"Hello, Nini, do you remember Fu Yanpei and Fan Simo?"

She still nodded, and Lin Mu said again, "Then have you played together before?"

"And do they have a particularly bad relationship with anyone?"

"I don't remember. Nini's rare opening, it was an extremely hoarse voice, like a dying crow.

"Have they ever bullied anyone, or have they often robbed other people's dolls to play with?"

Nini shook her head and glanced at the dean, "I forgot. With that, he got up and went back to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, this child may have left too much psychological shadow at the beginning, and she has no memory of many things. ”

Lin Mu looked away in disappointment, but he felt that it was normal, so he also planned to say goodbye and start from other places.

There was a bicycle parked in the corner of the yard that was not new, Lin Mu walked over to take a look, and walked out of the yard with Zheng Wei.

The two of them thought about their own thoughts, and inadvertently arrived at Bihu Park, looking at the layer of dust accumulated on the ground, after the murder, I am afraid that this place will only be more deserted in the future.

"I've heard that the surrounding residents are trying not to walk here. Zheng Wei put his hand in the pocket of his clothes and said, "Say that there is an evil sect here." ”

Lin Mu smiled and didn't speak, he already knew that people always like to give different meanings to a place where special circumstances have occurred, whether it is good or bad.

"Team Lin, are you suspicious of anyone?"

"There is a bicycle in the yard, but the dean's legs are inconvenient, how can it be?"

"Nini?"

"I'm not sure," Lin Mu shook his head in denial, "the wheels of the bicycle are rusty, and they look like they haven't been used in a while, but I hope I've thought about it too much." ”

"You come back for me!" An anxious cry came from afar, "It's not that you don't want to go there!"

Lin Mu and Zheng Wei turned around and saw a young mother pointing at her son and scolding, "Don't you know what's wrong there? ”

"Just picking up the ball. The child waved the shuttlecock in his hand impatiently and replied, "Besides, he is not a ghost seen here!"

This conversation attracted the attention of Lin Mu and the others, and they chased after the woman and stopped her, "Sorry to disturb, what did you mean by the hell you just said?"

The woman quickly grabbed the child's hand behind her, and said mysteriously, "It's not that, our upstairs Zhou Qing came back quite late that night, saying that he saw a murderous ghost." ”

After she finished speaking, she shuddered, "Oh, don't say it, don't say it, you have to know that you ask!"

Zhou Qing was not at home, he had already moved away, and he didn't even pack up his things before leaving, and he didn't tell anyone where he went.

"Do you think he saw the murderer?"

"Quite possibly. ”

"Shall we go to him, then?"

"What else do you need to say?"
