After Bai Xiaohan placed Xiaohui in a children's welfare home, he rode a heavy plane to the K City Psychiatric Recuperation Center.

In front of Yang Liu's hospital room, she saw Mr. X with a black backpack talking to a doctor from a nursing home.

"Doctor Li, Doctor Jiang." Bai Xiaohan stepped forward to greet them.

"Officer Bai, you're finally here." Doctor Jiang seemed to see a savior, "Just now, your sir Wang specially told us on the phone that we can't move the body at will before you come, so go and take a look." ”

Bai Xiaohan nodded, walked into Yang Liu's ward, and saw a cold corpse lying on the ground.

There was a distinct strangulation mark on her neck, and the deceased's facial expression was somewhat hideous, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was looking at her with resentment.

After examining other parts of the deceased's body, there were no obvious signs of trauma or poisoning, and Bai Xiaohan came to the conclusion: "The cause of death was suicide, and the time of death was no more than six hours." ”

She looked up at the rope hanging from the ceiling vent and asked, "How can there be such a dangerous thing in the ward?" ”

Dr. Jiang immediately explained: "Every day, the staff who clean the ward will check every corner of the ward, and it stands to reason that they will not have access to such a thing as a rope. ”

"So, who did Yang Liu see before the accident?" Bai Xiaohan asked.

Dr. Jiang glanced at Mr. X, who was sinking as water beside him, and said hesitantly: "Two days ago, Dr. Li came to see Yang Liu, and he had permission. But yesterday, the editor-in-chief of a magazine came to see her, but Yang Liu applied for it herself. ”

"Guan Yulan?" Bai Xiaohan couldn't help but blurt out.

"Yes, yes," Dr. Jiang nodded repeatedly, "That's the person, Yang Liu filled in the relationship column of the application form at that time as a relative, so we didn't refuse her request to meet." ”

"Can you pull up the surveillance footage of their interview and show it to me?" Bai Xiaohan asked.

"Okay, please come with me."

Dr. Jiang took Bai Xiaohan to the monitoring room, and Mr. X immediately followed behind them, Dr. Jiang stood at the door with some hesitation and asked, "Officer Bai, do we need to avoid it?" ”

"No, you don't." Bai Xiaohan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Dr. Jiang called up the video of Yang Liu and Guan Yulan's meeting, and the three of them stood in the monitoring room and watched silently.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Guan Yulan's figure disappeared from the screen, and Dr. Jiang said incredulously: "How can I not understand what they are talking about at all." ”

"The case involved here is more complicated." Bai Xiaohan summed up the secret that the two were talking about, and Dr. Jiang withdrew with interest.

When only Mr. X and Bai Xiaohan were left in the monitoring room, another voice came from the backpack: "Look at what is written in the diary." ”

"What diary?" Bai Xiaohan asked.

"A diary I got in Yang Liu's hospital room just now." Mr. X pulls out a notebook with a blue cover from his backpack.

"This is evidence, and you actually hid it privately." Bai Xiaohan shook his head noncommittally.

"It's a good habit to keep a diary." Mr. X flipped through the diary, his gaze darting over the rows of graceful handwriting.

The diary records a woman's most secret inner world.

"September 2004

I met a girl in the orphanage, she looked like me when I was younger, I liked her very much, and even though she looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, I still wanted to adopt her.

But the text is very opposed, because the origin of this child is unknown, and she doesn't seem to remember anything, only her own name, Yitong.

Zhengwen and I can't have a child, this is a curse from God to us, because he has done extremely cruel and evil things, and I just watched silently by his side, and I didn't even have the courage to denounce it. I'm a sinner too. ”

"March 2005

I finally got my wish and adopted the child and renamed her 'Tang Yitong'.

After spending two months with her, I can feel that Yitong is special, she has a mature heart far beyond her years. A lot of the time, she doesn't act like my daughter, but like a sister. ”

"October 2010

Five years have passed, and Yitong's height and appearance have not changed at all, and he still maintains the appearance of when he was thirteen.

Both Zhengwen and I felt very panicked, in order not to let the people around us find out about Yitong's abnormality, we would transfer her every year or two, choose a place that no one knew, and start life again. ”

"February 2015

When I woke up in the morning, I found Yitong sleeping in Zhengwen's bed. Looking at their intertwined bodies, I suddenly felt very sick.

Yitong's actual age should be twenty-five or sixteen years old, but he still maintains the appearance of being in his teens. I felt like I was about to run out of it, and I wanted the text to send Yitong back to the welfare home, but he told me that Yitong was an angel sent by God to redeem us.

I can no longer look directly into Yi Tong's eyes, those eyes that are no longer innocent make me feel terrified, and every time I hear her call me 'Mommy', I only feel my scalp tingle.

What a terrible thing it is for a young girl to have an adult soul living in her body. ”

"January 2018

Knowing that I had committed an unforgivable crime, I pushed Yitong down from the roof of the building. I thought it was all over, but the police didn't find her body, and the case ended as missing.

Yitong's figure will always appear in front of me, wearing a white dress, slim and elegant. I told everyone she was alive, but no one wanted to believe me. ”

Turning to the last diary, it was written by Yang Liu before she committed suicide, only two short lines: "She's back again, she's back to me..."

After reading these strange diaries, Star Swirl suddenly said, "No wonder at the end of the surveillance video, Yang Liu wants to say that Guan Yulan is her daughter, because she is somewhat similar to Yitong, right?" ”

"Therefore, it is now basically certain that Tang Yitong is Guan Yulan's sister who has been missing for many years." Bai Xiaohan thought about it and said, "But after so many years, her appearance has not changed at all, which seems very unreasonable." ”

"There is another possibility," Mr. X seems to have an answer, "that there is some connection between the missing students of Nishikawa Middle School and Hermes's experiments. ”

"You mean, Guan Yitong is also an experimental subject of the ST virus?" Star Swirl asks.

"If it weren't for Hermes, Clotho wouldn't be reluctant to let us get involved."

Remembering Clotho's advice about the disappearance of Nishikawa Middle School, Star Swirl also understands it, and goes around and around, always related to Hermes.

Everything was like a woven net over her head.

Outside the window, the night was getting darker, and only a vague outline was left in the building, and a man stepped out of the shadows, and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor outside the door of the monitoring room.
