Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Orphanage

This little episode made Chu Cheng feel a little strange in his heart, but he didn't ask out loud.

Before parting, Huang Liping also politely said that you live close to our family Xiaocheng and are colleagues, you can move around more if you have nothing to do, and you can still take care of each other in work and life.

They were all ordinary polite words, but the reaction on Fana's little face when she listened to them was extraordinarily serious.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Chu Cheng seems to feel that after the separation, the girl has been standing at the fork in the back, watching them leave. Until they had all disappeared, they couldn't see each other in the crowd, and Chu Cheng seemed to be able to feel her intent.

"She's a pretty girl, isn't she?" Huang Liping said with a smile.

"What's good?"

Fana is really hard to find fault if she wants to say about her appearance, that is, her temperament feels weird, and then she is a little bit like gold. At the end of a meal, the phrases she said were far more than complete sentences, and it seemed a little unnatural.

Mom doesn't think there's anything, she thinks that the lack of words is a proof of honesty and well-behaved. But Chu Cheng felt that it was just the opposite, he was still wondering if there was any misunderstanding or if the other party deliberately lied to them that he was living with his mother, but in fact, she was the only one in the household registration book.

But looking at the sudden highlight in her eyes when she mentioned her mother, it didn't seem like she was lying. That would be even more scary to think about.

Whether it's the supernatural unfolding where she really lives with her mother, who has been in the bento for many years, or the Arkham unfolding where her mother is actually just her skull's fantasy, it feels quite dangerous.

But in short, since she passed the mental assessment on the madhouse, and the old thief Miyazaki seemed to be saying that she was very stable, then Chu Cheng could only say that he hoped that they really knew what they were doing. However, he still thinks it is wiser to keep a little distance from this unstable factor.

Taking my mother to walk around the business district is even a follow-up activity today, and I bought her a few clothes by the way. There is no other advantage of being suspended in a madhouse, that is, there is a lot of money, and the salary income of hanging up in the back row is not low.

I can't buy a house or a car in one step, but I still sprinkle water when I invite my mother to have a meal and buy a few clothes. Huang Liping didn't say anything, but her joyful expression couldn't be hidden. It's hard to compare the mood of a mother when she receives a gift from her child.

Originally, Chu Cheng also found a dessert here on the Internet, which had a very good reputation, but when he walked here, he found that it was a long line, so he had to give up.

This year, when I went out, the team of eating, drinking, and buying desserts looked like the women's toilet in the tourist center of the scenic spot, and it was easy to start in an hour without a cap.

After eating and drinking, he was almost full, and Chu Cheng's blue stripe felt almost full, and after returning to the apartment, he sat down in front of the computer and logged back online.

When it was launched again, the DNA comparison results extracted from the Yoshimura couple's home last night had also come out, and a match had been found.

Sure enough, it's a child.

Raya Hada, 12 years old. She had been arrested for burglary and had a criminal record with the Sheriff's Office, so the DNA data was recorded in the Sheriff's system.

There are no parents, no immediate family members, and the registration file records as orphans in an orphanage in the south of the city.

Archival records indicate that she was found in a meadow on the outskirts of the city, and that a couple heard her crying as they drove past in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the couple was quite bold, and they were not directly scared away by the black light, but got out of the car and walked in the direction where the cry came from, and then found her.

Her growth was not smooth. Chu Cheng only saw the record of her burglary a year ago in the file at first glance, but in fact, this is not the first time. Raya has definitely been an out-and-out problem child since she was a child, she has committed theft, brawl and fraud, and she has a wide range of knowledge, not picky eaters or biases.

But even so, she was actually adopted from an orphanage a year ago. Although the adoptive parents, Qiao Deng and his wife, are not very rich, but the conditions can at least be regarded as midstream even in a city like Jiangdu, and she can be regarded as her own completely, but it is definitely not bad.

But these days did not last forever.

Some time ago, the Jordens and their husbands mysteriously disappeared on the same night.

The Sheriff's Department quickly arrived at the scene to investigate, but could not find any leads. All doors and windows in the home are locked, and there is no sign of breaking or entering. The two of them seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and so far they have not been found.

No relatives were willing to accept the child, so Lana returned to the orphanage, where she grew up.

Until a month ago, she also disappeared.

The Sheriff's investigative records indicate that it was a case that was almost as bizarre as the disappearance of her adoptive parents, and that the investigating sheriff couldn't figure out what had happened.

Again, it happened overnight, in a large dormitory where eight children lived together.

Eight children, that is, seven people in the room in addition to the missing Raya. But none of the seven noticed anything was wrong, only to wake up in the morning to be surprised to find that there was one less person in the room.

The guards on the night shift assured that no half living person would enter the building during the night, and the sheriff did not think that anyone could take a twelve-year-old girl from the room without alarming anyone. The remaining children also said that the door was still locked when they woke up in the morning.

Investigation records indicate that there has been no progress in the case so far, and the girl is still missing. But Chu Cheng clearly scanned her DNA information from the home of the Yoshimura couple, indicating that she had at least appeared there.

Chu Cheng thought about it and decided to go to the orphanage first.

The location of the orphanage is also relatively remote compared to the urban area. Chu Cheng has never been to such a place in reality, and his impression of the orphanage is also in film and television books.

And this time, although Batman is still remotely operated in front of the computer, it must be admitted that what he sees is still impressive.

It's completely different from what he imagined. As a place where a group of children live, there is no warmth, no sunshine, and the first impression is more like ...... Arkham.

That's right, this is really the first impression of the building when the Batman on the screen landed outside the door.

The iron gate was only locked, and the thick old chain was wrapped around the door like a snake. There was not a figure in the empty courtyard, and the cold wind blew through the branches, like the whispers of ghosts.

The lighting in the courtyard is rather terrible, reminiscent of a horror movie with a ten-level netherworld filter. From the layout of the yard, it can be seen that the daytime lighting should be very bad, and it is likely that there will be no sunlight all year round.

Literally, the corner where the sun doesn't shine.

Getting into this building is even easier than you think. The doorman in the security booth next to the courtyard gate was reading the newspaper with his legs crossed, while the doorman at the bottom of the building was scrolling short videos on his mobile phone.

Other than that, from the courtyard to the building, it was deserted, and there was hardly any sign of any living person.

Batman silently skimmed through the hallway. As usual, he relied on the perspective of the detective mode to avoid the eyes and ears, but Chu Cheng once suspected that it was not necessary. Because even if the full-picture perspective of the detective mode is turned on, the corridors in the front and back are basically empty.

Passing by a certain classroom, he noticed that some children were inside.

But it's not like a typical school or kindergarten – they can't wait to take care of the classroom for a while. Here, on the contrary, in a classroom with more than a dozen or twenty children, they were eerily quiet.

There were children sitting in the corner, rolling their eyes and drooling. There are also children staring at the blackboard in a daze, twitching twice from time to time, and letting out two weird laughs.

And those who look normal also look gloomy and weird.

Or maybe sanity becomes a curse here, because then you have to learn how to accept reality day in and day out.

Batman finds the target dorm. Raya's bed was still empty, but there were other children living in the dormitory, and after all this time, most of the clues and traces that might have been left were now gone.

He was about to start scanning, but soon he noticed movement outside through detective mode.

Someone is coming this way.

"The Sheriff's Department is still investigating...... But they also say it's not a good chance. ”

It was a man's voice.

"If you want to see for yourself, her bed is right here. But the sheriff's department has come to see it several times, and it's been a long time, so I don't think there's anything else to discover......"

Batman stepped out of the window before they could enter, and stood against the wall on a bulge outside the building.

Chu Cheng secretly observed from Batman's perspective, and the facial recognition of detective mode quickly recognized who the person was.

The name of the man who spoke was Zhai Liangtao, the director of the orphanage.

And with him came ......

...... Fana?
