Chapter Twenty-Four: Something Missing
At first, Zheng Kai thought that after this place was renamed Zhi'an Kindergarten, the buildings inside should also be demolished and rebuilt.
But after reading the file and briefly analyzing it, Zheng Kai found that the building had not changed.
The entrance to the Puzzle Kindergarten is on the north side.
The gate of Zhi'an Kindergarten is on the south side.
To put it simply,
Zhi'an Kindergarten actually rebuilt a door in the south.
Standing on the north side, overlooking the kindergarten, the whole kindergarten presents an N-shape; Standing on the south side, overlooking the kindergarten, the whole kindergarten is U-shaped.
This is also something that Zheng Kai only figured out later.
"It's a two-story building."
"On the first floor is the infirmary and toy utility room, and on the second floor there is the principal's office."
Because the direction of the iron gate has changed, as soon as Zheng Kai enters, the first thing he sees is the second floor.
This two-story building is in the deepest part of the gray fog.
Zheng Kai has never had a chance to see it in the dream world.
Unexpectedly,
He actually saw it in the real world first.
After hesitating, Zheng Kai bypassed the second floor and walked deeper.
He had plenty of time to walk around the place.
More than 20 years have passed,
Zheng Kai didn't expect much useful to be left, but he could get a glimpse of the entire structure of the kindergarten.
Corresponds to the dream world,
Even if Zheng Kai doesn't need a map, he can roughly plan what he should do next.
The row of staff dormitories in my impression is gone, and it is still a little late, and the construction team has bulldozed the row of houses in the staff dormitory.
Zheng Kai walked straight towards the location of the kitchen.
A simple cement room with asbestos tiles on the roof that shades the light and rain, and that's what the kitchen is all about.
The kitchen door is gone.
And the "Tian" shaped glass is also broken out of many holes, which can't block the wind, let alone the cold.

The moment he stepped into the kitchen, the cold sweat on Zheng Kai's forehead seeped out.
His eyes were black, and they were quickly drowned out by a sea of red, and the air seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood, which made Zheng Kai's breath short.
"I'm in reality!"
"I'm in reality!!"
Zheng Kai kept telling himself that it was the real world now, not in a dream.
His brain was constantly sending safety signals to his body, but the muscles all over his body seemed to freeze, and he didn't mean to take instructions.
Zheng Kai bit the tip of his tongue, and the faint smell of blood and the strong pain made him finally move again.
But his body was still shaking.
"Exactly the same!"
Zheng Kai looked around, and the layout in front of the kitchen was the same as in the dream.
"If it were a dream, I would have been seriously injured and lying here."
Zheng Kai looked at the edge of the wall facing the door, when he was carrying the injury on his back, rushed all the way into the kitchen, and then his whole body collapsed in this place like mud.
For some reason,
Zheng Kai walked to that position, recalling his posture at that time, half-lying on the dusty floor, curled up, staring at the kitchen door.
That's right!
That's how it feels!
Zheng Kai took a big breath, and fear appeared in his eyes again.
He even saw Shu Fu squatting at the door, as well as those scarlet bloody eyes.
Truth be told,
Physical pain is far less devastating than psychological overload.
The strong psychological stimulation made Zheng Kai feel the urge to go crazy, but fortunately he suppressed it.
After so much,
Zheng Kai's spirit was not so easily crushed.
At this moment,
Su Qing's voice came from outside: "Zheng Kai, what are you doing here alone?" ”
Outside the door.
Su Qing looked at Zheng Kai, who was slumped on the ground inside, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Are you alright?"
Su Qing ran to Zheng Kai's side and squatted down, anxiously asking.
Zheng Kai came back to his senses, glanced at Su Qing, shook his head, and stood up holding on to the ground.
Seeing that Zheng Kai was indeed fine, Su Qing complained: "Is there a disease?" What are you doing lying on the ground when you have nothing to do? ”
Zheng Kai didn't answer, but walked towards the back kitchen.
Su Qing followed.
Zheng Kai frowned slightly, and turned his head: "What are you doing with me?" Look into your case, I'm fine. ”
In this kind of environment, it feels even more intimidating to be followed by a person.
It's better for Zheng Kai to stay alone, and feel a little more secure.
Su Qing laughed angrily directly: "You were put in by me, I don't follow you, what should I do if something happens to you?" I'm going to take full responsibility! ”
Hearing this, Zheng Kai did not speak again.
Go to the depths of the kitchen,
It's still the layout of the dream, a few simple stoves, all of which are in tatters.
There's not a lot of space here.
Zheng Kai tried to measure it back and forth, left and right, and found that there was no place for the freezer and refrigerator at all: "Captain Su, are you familiar with the case back then?" ”
Hearing Zheng Kai's question, Su Qing replied angrily: "This case is in charge of my teacher, I have read the file several times, and I have also asked my teacher, so I am relatively familiar." ”
"I want to ask you a question."
Zheng Kai stretched out his hands and gestured up and down in the air: "When I searched the kitchen back then, was there a freezer or refrigerator here?" ”
Su Qing frowned.
This question..... She really couldn't answer.
Su Qing didn't speak for a long time, Zheng Kai glanced back at her, and shook his head helplessly.
After all, it's not a first-hand experience.
Su Qing only reads the files and listens to others about everything here, at most he is a little better than Zheng Kai.
"What kind of eyes are you?"
Su Qing was a little unhappy.
Su Qing still wanted to speak, but an old and powerful voice interrupted her: "I can answer you this question, back then, there were no freezers and refrigerators here. ”
Zheng Kai and Su Qing turned back at the same time.
The person who spoke was the old man of the previous four, who was still very healthy in his sixties.
"Teacher."
Su Qing shouted.
Zheng Kai pondered for a few seconds, and then asked, "Grandpa, when you searched back then, did you find a freezer or refrigerator elsewhere?" ”。
"Not either."
The old man's answer was yes.
Zheng Kai was sure of one more thing.
Liao Fan has been to other places, and it is outside of kindergarten.
The doubts of the kitchen are solved.
Zheng Kai looked around again, made sure that there was nothing missing, turned around and bowed to the old man: "Thank you for your doubts." ”
The old man smiled gently, his eyes showed appreciation for Zheng Kai, although Zheng Kai didn't know where this appreciation came from: "What else do you want to ask?" ”
Su Qing's teacher was an investigator in the child abuse and murder case.
He was all too familiar with the case!
Thinking of this,
Zheng Kai was also not polite: "Is there an infirmary here?" ”
"Why do you ask this?"
The old man asked curiously.
Zheng Kai hesitated a little, glanced at Su Qing, and Su Qing suddenly understood what Zheng Kai meant: "The matter I gave you the file was agreed by the teacher." ”
At this moment, Zheng Kai had no scruples: "I read the file, there is no record of the kindergarten infirmary on it, I think it's a little strange." ”
Zheng Kai always felt that if there was no infirmary, there would be something missing, but he couldn't say what was missing.
