44. The four arms of the funeral parlor 7
The dilapidated room, combined with the dim lighting, looks like a haunted house.
Tang Xin frowned and said, "The ward of the hospital? β
"I don't know." Xie Jibai said.
It looks a bit like an old hospital ward, with gray and white walls and a cramped room, but there are only two things in it: a bed and a bedside table, and there doesn't seem to be even a chair.
If you look closely, the door to the room is open, and you can see the blurred hallway, and the outside wall is one of those kinds, very old, with walls of two colors, upper and lower. At first glance, it looks more like a hospital.
Only then did the little boy speak, and said, "Someone asked me to bring the book to this neighborhood." β
"Who is it?" Xie Jibai immediately asked.
The little boy glanced back, but he couldn't find the man in the crowd, he shook his head and said, "I don't remember." β
There was a photograph in the gray book, and all that was left was a row of words.
-- Cowardly people choose hell on their own.
Xie Jibai and Tang Xin took the little boy back to the police station.
Everyone hadn't come back yet, but Chen Yancai was alone, and saw Xie Jibai and Tang Xin leading a little boy in, almost choking to death by the water they had just drunk in.
Chen Yancai's eyes widened and said, "What's the matter with the two of you, you even have children when you go out." β
"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Jibai said: "This child seems to be lost/. β
The little boy couldn't tell where his home was, and he didn't have a cell phone or anything like that, so he just shook his head when he asked him. Xie Jibai and Tang Xin originally planned to take the little boy to stay where they were and wait for a while, but after waiting for more than an hour, no one came to look for the little boy at all.
In the end, the two men had to return with the little boy first.
Chen Yancai walked over, squatted in front of the little boy, and said, "Little friend, tell Sister SΓΉ, where is your home, what is your name, do you remember your family's phone/phone number?" β
Tang Xin said: "We asked these words just now. β
The little boy shook his head slowly and said, "I don't remember." β
"Uh......" Chen Yancai couldn't help but say: "The answer is too perfunctory, at least tell me what is your name, you will never forget it." β
"I don't remember......," the little boy shook his head slowly, "they called me stupid." β
"Huh?" Chen Yancai was stunned for a moment, her eyelids jumped violently, and she muttered: "I'd better see if there is any police record." β
Chen Yancai stood up, saw the book in Xie Jibai's hand, and said, "Xiaobai, why is there another book?" β
Xie Jibai told her what happened, and Chen Yancai's mouth opened wide.
Tang Xin said: "I'm afraid that person knows that we are going to find Kou Xin to investigate/check, so he specially asked this kid to wait for us there with a book." β
Unfortunately, when they asked the child what the person who gave him the book looked like, he couldn't tell him.
Xie Jibai took a pen and paper, then beckoned to the little boy and said, "Come here, come, come to uncle." β
The little boy walked over very well-behaved, and then sat down next to Xie Jibai.
Xie Jibai pushed the pen and paper to him and said, "Can you draw a picture and give you the appearance of the person who wrote the book?" β
The little boy picked up the pen, lowered his head and played for a while, then raised his head to look at Xie Jibai, and nodded without answering.
"Ah, Xiaobai still has a way." Chen Yancai couldn't help but sigh.
Tang Xin stood aside and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already afternoon, and they would get off work in a few hours, and they hadn't even eaten lunch.
Tang Xin is really a little hungry at this time, he only hopes that he can get off work on time today, then go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for hot pot, and go home to eat hot pot with the air conditioner on.
The little boy was holding a pen, and at first he didn't draw, but just poked the pencil back and forth on the paper, and he didn't know what he was doing. Xie Jibai didn't urge him, turned on his computer, and sat next to him to read some information.
After more than half an hour, the little boy suddenly said, "Someone has been staring at me, and I can't draw it." β
Xie Jibai immediately turned his head and looked at Chen Yancai.
Chen Yancai's eyes widened and said, "It's not me." It must be Tang Forensics/Medicine! β
Tang Xin was pouring coffee, and he didn't look back, just lifted the cup.
"Rustle"
The little boy finally stopped poking the head of the pencil, there was a "rustling" sound on the paper, and he began to draw. The sound seemed to be rhythmic, neither fast nor slow, and it was very comfortable to listen to.
"I'm done." The little boy was quick to speak.
Tang Xin and Chen Yancai both walked over to see when they heard the voice, and there was a person drawn on the blank paper......
Chen Yancai: "......"
"It's too abstract, what is it?" Chen Yancai couldn't help but whisper.
Tang Xin shook his head.
Xie Jibai picked up the drawing paper, and to be honest, he couldn't read it......
Chen Yancai said again: "Is this a human nose, like an eagle's beak, it's too exaggerated." β
"Not an eagle." The little boy suddenly said, "This is it." β
He stretched out his hand and pointed to something on Xie Jibai's desk.
The thing was in the evident bag, a collar pin with a crow spreading its wings and screaming, something that the man had sent.
The little boy pointed to the pin and said, "It's a crow." β
The little boy's voice was soft/soft, but after these three words were spoken, everyone felt a chill down their spines.
Tang Xin beckoned to Xie Jibai.
Xie Jibai stood up and walked over, and the two of them entered the meeting/meeting room and closed the door.
Tang Xin said: "Maybe that person was carrying a crow's collar needle at that time. β
"Possibly." Xie Jibai said.
The little boy probably didn't mean that the man looked like a crow, but that he saw a crow at the time, and he was very impressed, so he painted the man's face like a crow.
Tang Xin said again: "There are ...... Xiaobai, I'll advise you to take this child for inspection/checkup. β
"Check/check what?" Xie Jibai asked.
Tang Xin said: "You should also notice that he may have some mental abnormalities. β
Xie Jibai was silent for a while and said, "...... I know. β
Xie Jibai and Tang Xin walked out, and Chen Yancai was still pondering the painting. And the little boy was looking out the small window of the side door.
When the little boy saw Xie Jibai coming back, he pointed to the window of the side door and said, "There is a person there." β
Chen Yancai, who was sitting next to the little boy, couldn't help but rub her arms and said, "Don't scare me." β
The side door to their office was locked, leading to the stairwell upstairs, which was never used. People usually take the elevator or the stairwell next to the elevator.
How can there be someone there?
Xie Jibai walked over and said, "Come, let's go with my uncle, my uncle will take you somewhere." β
The little boy looked at him twice and nodded.
Chen Yancai rubbed her arms while watching Xie Jibai take the little boy out and asked, "Where did they go?" β
Tang Xin said: "It's just a routine test. β
After Tang Xin finished speaking, he followed.
They took the little boy downstairs to the fifth floor, which was used for routine testing, and the various instruments were very comprehensive.
When they walked in, they saw several colleagues in white coats busy.
The two men swiped their cards through the glass door and led the little boy inside.
The little boy grabbed Xie Jibai's hand, he looked a little nervous, looked up at Xie Jibai, and said, "What kind of place is this?" β
"Don't be nervous." Xie Jibai said.
The little boy held Xie Jibai's hand tightly, he didn't go any further, looked up at him, and said, "I'm scared...... Do you think I'm sick too? They say it all the time. β
Xie Jibai looked at the little boy with red eyes, and suddenly his heart tightened a little.
The examination/examination report showed that the little boy was mentally ill, fortunately it was not very strict, but his emotions were unstable, and he often had auditory and visual hallucinations.
Chen Yancai said: "This is good. That person is so shameless, he must know it, that's why he asked this kid to send us books. Even if the child could really describe what he looked like, it would be useless. β
It is true that confessions of mental illness are not enough to say anything.
Before dark, Chen Wanting, Liu Zhihui and Qin Xu also came back one after another.
Everyone is a person who has never had a child, and they are helpless against a child.
Chen Yancai didn't find any police records at all, and no one seemed to be anxious because of the loss of a child.
And the little kid couldn't tell where he came from.
Chen Wanting sighed and said, "It's okay now, our case hasn't progressed yet, and now we suddenly have an extra child to take care of." β
Everyone stared at each other for a while, and in the end there was no conclusion.
Tang Xin suddenly took off his golden-rimmed eyes and said, "Forget it, it's too late today, I'll take this child with me, and we'll figure out a way tomorrow." β
"You take it?" Chen Wanting was stunned for a while, and said, "But it's a little white ......."
Chen Wanting couldn't help but look at Xie Jibai, Tang Xin is now living in Xie Jibai's house, if Tang Xin wants to take care of this child, does he want to bring the child to Xie Jibai's house?
Tang Xin said: "There is a hotel next to it, I can take him to rest in the hotel today." β
In the end, everyone dispersed and went home, Xie Jibai leaned on the table and looked at Tang Xin who was packing up his things, and said, "We still have to go to the supermarket, hurry up." β
Tang Xin looked up at him and said, "Little white ......"
Xie Jibai interrupted him and said, "You don't really want to take him to the hotel, do you?" Tomorrow morning, will someone come to the bureau and report to the police that you have abducted and trafficked children? β
Tang Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought you had a habit of cleanliness and didn't like others living in your house." β
Xie Jibai said: "So you have to tidy up the room." β
"I know." Tang Xin patted the kid on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, eat hot pot tonight." β
