After hanging up the phone, I took the graduation photo from Xiao Ai, and there was a name on the back of the photo, and I easily found Wang Dian.

Xiao Ai's face is not good-looking. He frowned, as if recalling something that made him uncomfortable. The school violence at school did hit him quite hard, and the double blow of his later murder of his stepfather was enough to change a person, but I don't think he seems to be recalling these two events now, because the expression on his face made me feel remorse, not pain and anger.

"Have you done anything to Wang Dian? I mean, another you. I asked tentatively.

Xiao Ai took a deep breath and nodded at me.

"There were 45 people in this graduation photo, and only 3 of them cared about me, so I let them go, and I visited all the other 42 people, and 25 of them were already one of the 9."

Xiao Ai's answer didn't surprise me, I knew that the death assistant would definitely take revenge on the people in his class, so I took this graduation photo and wanted to follow these clues to find the death assistant.

After I came out of the asylum with Xiao Ai, I also asked him about this graduation photo, and he said that what did the death assistant do? I asked Xiao Ai again.

"I know he loves bugs. So it deprived him of his preferences. I threw him into a nightmare while he was asleep. In this dream, I turned into a worm and ate him, which was like a psychological suggestion, and if no one cracked it, he would always be trapped in the fear of bugs, and eventually he would be tortured to death by demons. Xiao Ai replied with a frown.

"The other people in this picture are in a similar situation, right?" I asked, holding the photo.

Xiao Ai nodded.

"If you know this, why didn't you sue me before?" I asked with some excitement.

"I ...... I do not know. I actually knew very well in my heart that this was not right, and I should help them, but there was always a voice in my head that stopped me, telling me not to do anything, not to say anything, and to let them continue to be tortured, that is their due retribution. Xiao Ai replied bitterly.

Seeing the way he is now, I seem to understand why the death assistant chose me to be Xiao Ai's mentor, he really needs someone to guide him. Perhaps because his soul is not complete, Xiao Ai's emotions are obviously unsound, and he is like a high-IQ affective disorder.

Instead of blaming him, I waved at him and comforted, "Forget it, I can understand your feelings, I have made similar decisions before, but now I can tell you very clearly that this decision is wrong!" You, you want to get revenge on him alone, but he killed 20 people because of your revenge, maybe more than 20, this shouldn't be the result you want, right? I'm sure you don't want to see that happen, do you? ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ai nodded in response.

"So even if you don't let those innocent people be implicated, what relevant clues can you think of about Wang Dian?" I guided Xiao Ai to ask.

Xiao Ai nodded while thinking about it, and after being silent for a while, Xiao Ai suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "That dream!" It's the dream that I turned into a worm and ate him! I think he might go to the place where he was eaten in the dream, and we can go there and have a look. ”

"Good! Let's go! ”

I didn't ask where that place was, anyway, I didn't know the route, so I didn't ask at all, and let Xiao Ai show me the way, after all, this city is also one of his home fields.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ai took me to the Botanical and Botanical Garden near the Outer Ring Road, the Botanical and Botanical Garden had not yet closed its doors during this time, so we bought tickets from the main entrance and went in, and then walked along the stone road to the garden.

In March, the cold did not dissipate at all, and everywhere you could see were bare branches and trunks, and there was no greenery at all, and there were hardly any living creatures in the zoo part, only some hardy birds were still outside. Two men in overalls were standing inside the birdcage, chatting with brooms in their hands.

Xiao Ai pointed to the bird cage and whispered to me: "This is the place, I used to come here a lot when I was a child, so I used this scene, I fed all the insects he raised here, and then I became his insects and ate him." ”

I nodded to Xiao Ai, then walked to the bird cage and gently knocked on the metal animal name tag on the side of the cage, and said to the two workers inside: "Two little brothers, please ask you two something, has there been any strange things in this garden recently, probably only in the past two months." ”

The two men turned to look at me, then looked at each other again, and after a few seconds of silence, one of them asked me, "What are you doing?" What does this mean? ”

His question was very interesting, or completely unconventional, and normally he would have said "it's okay" or "why are you asking this", but he first asked me what I was doing, and then he asked me further about the purpose of the inquiry, so he was telling me that there was something strange in this place, and that it was necessary for them to hide it.

After guessing one or two, I didn't ink with them, but just showed my ID and scared them: "I'm a police officer, specializing in some supernatural, unconventional special cases, I suspect that a murderer has escaped here, and has been hiding in the botanical and botanical garden, if you don't want to be killed for no reason, it's best to tell me the truth." ”

"What...... What the? You say kill...... Kill ...... Murderer? The guy who had asked me the question earlier asked with wide eyes in surprise.

"That's right! Murderer! We've just exhumed 19 bones from his house, all of which he had killed in the last five years, and if I were the two of you, I'd tell you about the strange things that happened here, and I'd get home from work right away. I scared them again.

Both of them swallowed their saliva, and after glancing at each other, they both nodded at me and said, "Something!" Something is indeed wrong! ”

The man who had just been silent came over and looked mysteriously to the left and right, and after making sure that no one else was passing by, he whispered to me: "There is a strange group of insects in this garden, which often come out in the middle of the night to hunt birds and eat, and we have caught a few, but they die in the morning, and the carcasses are soon burned to ashes by themselves. The director wouldn't let us tell anyone about it, and told us to keep a few live chickens here every day for the insects to eat. I don't understand what he was doing it for, but he's the headmaster, and we'll just do as he says. ”

"One more thing!" The other man came and added, "Those worms have a king, and they are very large, bigger than a man's feet." One time when I wanted to catch it, someone suddenly shouted, I was startled, and then the insect king crawled away, and the person who shouted should be the murderer you said, right? "Sister-in-law, I'm waiting for you in hell

"It's possible!" I casually coped with it and asked, "Are the chickens ready tonight?" ”

"Ready, we're planning to keep the other birds in a safe room, leaving only the chickens outside to feed the weird bugs." One of them replied.

"What time do the bugs appear?" I asked.

"It's usually after 10 p.m., do you have to wait here? It took more than 3 hours to wait. ”

"Do you have a place to stay, I mean a place to sit and rest, a warmer place?" I replaced my answer with a question.

"Yes, there's a break room right behind the safe house, you can go there if you want to wait."

This arrangement is naturally the best, and after the two workers have finished their work, Xiao Ai and I followed the two to the lounge. They changed into civilian clothes and left for work, while Xiao Ai and I waited in the room for 10 p.m. to arrive.
