Chapter 204: The Tricky Child (5)
Coming to this conclusion, Star Swirl remembers the painting, of two small red figures in a black room.
Now that I think about it, the black house bears some resemblance to the dilapidated house of his adoptive parents. So the two red villains are... Star Swirl's hairs stood on end, could it be that there had always been a trick in the house where Xiaohui lived?
Star Swirl enters the password "return" and returns to the psychiatric clinic to briefly tell Bai Xiaohan about the incident he saw in Xiaohui's memory about the head of the welfare school.
Bai Xiaohan fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a moment she said, "It is very likely that Xiaohui's biological mother was killed, not missing. ”
"And who do you think the murderer will be?" Star Swirl looked at the corners of Bai Xiaohan's pursed lips, and felt that the answer in their hearts at the moment pointed to Director Tang of the welfare home at the same time.
"Let's go to the welfare home again, I always feel that some people are going to get ahead of us." With that, Bai Xiaohan walked towards the door of the consultation room, and Star Swirl hurriedly followed.
On the way to the welfare home, Bai Xiaohan received a phone call, and after listening to the call, her face became a little more solemn.
Seeing her suddenly turn the direction of the locomotive, Star Swirl asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"The Dean's residence." Bai Xiaohan replied in a deep voice.
The sky began to darken, and the seven-story residential building in front of me was covered in a layer of gray haze. On one of the south-facing walls, a few withered vines hang down.
Bai Xiaohan was wearing a black police uniform, and his originally charming long hair was combed into a spiritual ponytail at the back of his head, looking heroic.
She stood downstairs and looked up at the rooftop, but couldn't see anything. She knew something was going on, and there were several police cars parked downstairs, adding some popularity to the lifeless building.
As soon as she stepped into the building, Star Swirl felt a special atmosphere.
There was a policeman guarding the door to the rooftop, who was looking at Bai Xiaohan with inquiring eyes, she deliberately showed her ID, and did not forget to say hello.
As they reach the rooftop, Star Swirl sees the corpse surrounded by several police officers. Bai Xiaohan walked quickly in front of them and nodded at his colleagues.
Suddenly, a young policeman said to Bai Xiaohan: "Sister Bai, if you want to see it, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Star Swirl remembers the policeman, who is Xiao Wang, who is in the same office as Bai Xiaohan.
Bai Xiaohan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
Bai Xiaohan stared at the male corpse for thirty seconds, the wind on the rooftop was very strong, and the few strands of hair exposed under the brim of her hat were blown up by the wind and flew in the air.
"Sister Bai, you are amazing!" Xiao Wang stood behind her and said, "When I first saw it just now, it was really a little..."
Bai Xiaohan waved his hand and said, "Can you confirm the cause of death now?" ”
"It's not that easy. Judging by the extent of the body's decomposition, the time of death was probably five or six days ago. No external injuries were found on the deceased's body, but there were signs of bleeding from the mouth, nose and eyes. Xiao Wang replied.
"Could it be that the Seven Orifices bleed to death?"
"It may have been the cause of death, but the degree of decomposition of the body is too good to be determined."
Star Swirl, who was hiding in her backpack at this point, felt a sick sensation go straight to her throat just by their conversation.
Bai Xiaohan continued to ask, "Who found the body?" ”
"It's a boy named Xiaohui."
Bai Xiaohan nodded, and suddenly found that there was a mess of dirt at her feet, which didn't look like human vomit, and she left the rooftop quickly.
Walking down the dark staircase, Star Swirl asked softly, "Could the deceased be the director of the orphanage?" ”
"Judging by the extent of the corpse's decomposition, it shouldn't be him." Bai Xiaohan replied.
"yes, we just met him yesterday..."
"Let's go see Xiaohui first."
Bai Xiaohan walked downstairs with Star Swirl and saw Xiaohui standing with his adoptive mother with a calm expression.
Seeing Bai Xiaohan in a police uniform, the woman was stunned, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "Doctor Bai..."
"Ms. Liu, may I ask if your son was the first to discover the deceased?" Bai Xiaohan interrupted her and asked directly.
Looking at Bai Xiaohan with a serious face, the woman wanted to say something more, but finally closed her mouth and nodded.
"Originally, I brought Xiaohui to the dean, but as soon as I walked into this building, Xiaohui ran upstairs. I followed him all the way to the rooftop and found the body. The woman recounted in horror.
"May I ask why your son ran to the rooftop?" Bai Xiaohan asked.
The woman's eyes flickered back: "I also want to know why." ”
"It was an older sister in white who took me up." Xiaohui suddenly spoke, and the people around him were shocked.
"Officer, don't listen to kids' nonsense. I haven't seen a girl dressed in white since I came in. Xiaohui's adoptive mother's expression was a little embarrassed.
"Sister in white? Do you still have a string of bells in your hand? Bai Xiaohan ignored the woman's explanation and continued to ask Xiaohui.
Xiaohui thought for a moment and shook his head gently.
The woman's face turned strange, and she asked in a low voice, "You... Who are you? ”
"Xiaohui, this child, is indeed a little introverted, and there are some minor problems in the mental aspect, which are easy to cure. You were in a hurry to send him back to the welfare home because of those rumors, right? Bai Xiaohan asked without staring at the woman's worried face for a moment.
"Those rumors in the welfare home... How many people can not care? What's more, Xiaohui is very sensitive to the phenomenon of death, just like today's events, how do you explain it? The woman stared at Bai Xiaohan and asked.
"Then I don't understand, why did you have to adopt this child in the first place?" This is what Star Swirl is most confused about.
"Because the house... Not long after we moved in, a lot of weird things happened, and women could often be heard crying at night. Later, I had the same dream several times and dreamed that a woman told me that she wanted to see her child. ”
Bai Xiaohan pondered for a moment: "With this unwarranted supernatural phenomenon, you found Xiaohui?" ”
"No," the woman shook her head, "because our husband and I were tormented by nightmares every night, and then we were introduced to a master who was very famous in psychics, and he told us that we were haunted by evil spirits, and the only way to solve them was to go to the welfare home to adopt Xiao Hui, otherwise we might be haunted by evil spirits forever." ”
"Psychic Master?" Star Swirl was a little unbelievable.
"So after adopting Xiaohui, has the situation improved? If that's the case, why did you send him back to the orphanage? ”
The woman was silent for a moment, and the hand she stretched out towards Xiaohui froze in the air: "Who can bear to live with Wei all the time?" ”
