Chapter 36: The Past.

The night should have been as dark as lead, but the air was filled with a scorching heat, and even the night breeze that swept through the cheeks and neck carried an unbearable temperature, and the heat wave swept in, wantonly destroying the land in the cold night of September.

The Sunset Welfare Home, a magnificent building that accommodates hundreds of orphans every year and enjoys national first-class merits, roars and screams in pain in the sea of fire like a dying patient.

There was a relentless crackling sound of fire devouring all things, and the light of the fire reflected the entire night sky as bright as frostβ€”two thin figures were standing in front of the fire at this time, their faces expressionless, they were silent, and the beating flames pulled their figures into strips, shaking like ghosts on the ground.

"What will I do next?"

The light of the fire shone on their faces, bringing a burning sensation, and the little girl pulled the corner of the boy's clothes and asked.

The boy stared in the direction of the sea of fire, his gaze was as tough as iron, and he was silent for a long time before he said word by word.

"Let's go for the detective exam."

"Okay." The little girl nodded, followed the boy's gaze, and also looked at the door that smashed down in the sea of fire, she still had no expression, just said blankly, "Where are you going...... I'll go wherever I want. ”

……

"What do you mean...... You came to Liucheng to investigate the case of the Sunset Welfare Home more than ten years ago? Zhang Chaoran was a little puzzled, "Isn't the case already closed?" ”

Lin Fengmian was noncommittal, but said in a showdown, "The reason why I want to get an errand at your police station is actually to look through the files you keep, the case of the Sunset Welfare Institute...... I found a lot of doubts. ”

"That's ......"

Truth be told, anyone can come and look through the police department's archives...... What is that like? What kind of system do you want to become? In fact, even these people with the title of Detective Detective Chidori want to read the files related to the completion of the case, it is very troublesome, after all, these things involve some sensitive issues, and as various evidence and case materials that have been closed, the detective does not have the right to check at will, or turn over the old bottoms of others, so there is nothing wrong with Lin Fengmian's previous behavior.

Eh, after all, this one, there is no authority below the third order, and there is no need for permission above the third order (there are means), Lin Fengmian is just stuck at this point, it is really embarrassing and helpless.

Fortunately, Zhang Chaoran's personality is also open-minded, if you play yin with someone like him, he will naturally be furious, and it is possible to burn the entire database if you put it up, but if the other party says it openly...... Then all things are negotiable.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Chaoran also said his true words.

"You can also look through the database of the police station if you want to, but in the future, whenever there is a criminal case in Liucheng, you have to ensure that you help complete the case, and," Zhang Chaoran thought for a while, "I have to have the right to know all your clues and reports about the investigation of the Sunset Welfare Institute, oh, by the way, you should also know the confidentiality agreement related to the information, right?" ”

"That's fine." What Zhang Chaoran said Lin Fengmian doesn't matter, anyway, every case is solved, and Qiandori has a labor fee specifically for the detectives involved, and what the local law enforcement department wants is completely different from what they want, and there is no conflict in assisting in solving the case; And what I want to check is a dark line, the arson incident of the Sunset Welfare Home has already fallen to the dust, even if some new clues are revealed, it is actually harmless.

"Okay." Zhang Chaoran was very satisfied with Lin Fengmian's attitude, he picked up his briefcase, and was about to leave with satisfaction, when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang loudly, and he took it out and saw that Xiao Du was calling.

"Didn't I tell you that the crisis was over?" Zhang Chaoran pressed the answer button and said.

"Sheriff, something happened to Putian Hospital B." Xiao Du explained it over there, and by the way, he told the true intention of the call.

"Putian B Hospital?" Holding the phone for a pause, Zhang Chaoran seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about Xu Zhaojie?" ”

"That's right! That's him! ”

"Got it, I'll be right there."

Zhang Chaoran hung up the phone, Lin Fengmian frowned and asked, "Who is Xu Zhaojie?" ”

"Oh, this surnamed Xu used to be our Liucheng person, he was dealt with by the police station because of his involvement in crime, and this was all when the previous sheriff was still there, after being released from prison, this calf went to another country, successfully whitewashed himself, made a lot of money, and when he was old, he returned to Liucheng with his family property, and was diagnosed with acute heart disease a while ago, and was admitted to Putian B Hospital."

Zhang Chaoran explained to Lin Fengmian while packing his briefcase, "But since he was admitted to the hospital, this old thing has been a lot of trouble. ”

"?" Lin Fengmian listened carefully, "How do you say it?" ”

"Ah, I guess I've been saying that he has seen a lot of strange phenomena, such as weird footsteps in the middle of the night, figures wandering around in the ward, etc., and has called the police many times." Zhang Chaoran seemed a little impatient when he talked about these things, maybe in his opinion, these things Xu Zhaojie said were just hallucinations seen by a dying person.

But Lin Fengmian didn't think so, but he didn't say anything, but asked again, "What about now?" ”

"Now?" Zhang Chaoran was stunned and said, "Xiao Du called just now and said that Lao Xu died. ”

"Unnatural death?" Lin Fengmian asked, after all, if he died normally, it had nothing to do with the police, and Xiao Du would not call specifically to report.

"The doctor said it was a sudden heart attack, but something strange was found in the ward, and the hospital felt that it was safer to call the police, Xiao Du and they rushed over to take a look, and they also found something wrong, so they called me to report, oh, by the way, since you are now a consultant in the police station, let's go over and have a look." Zhang Chaoran knows everything, and he has endless words, in his opinion, anyway, Xu Zhaojie's guy is almost at the age of the end of his life, and he was still a victim when he was young, and he can live to this age, which can be regarded as God's eyes.

"Hmm." Lin Fengmian nodded, signaled An Ge to prepare for the preparation, and followed Zhang Chaoran to the hospital to have a look, now that he has joined the company, he still has to have a good relationship with other colleagues in the police station.

"Tsk, you're all gone...... So what should I do? "Listening to the two men chattering for a long time, Su Kuobei was not happy, and came over to send you information, oh, I didn't eat a meal for you, and I was tied up with an explosives bag, and now I have to leave myself alone? Is it so ruthless? Is this kid surnamed Lin really a?

"Your group has nothing to do lately?" Listening to Su Kuobei's words, Lin Fengmian turned his head and asked.

"The Silver Pioneer Regiment is now stationed in the mountain stream five kilometers away from Huhuli, and has not received any relevant tasks for the time being, otherwise I can run to Liucheng to find you?" Su Kuobei rolled his eyes and said angrily.
