Chapter 25: The Wrong Direction

"When I searched the scene, there was an infirmary."

The old man gave Zheng Kai an affirmative answer.

Zheng Kai didn't ask in a hurry, but waited for the old man to continue.

"It's just that the infirmary has been abandoned for a long time, and it's full of miscellaneous items, but it's actually a grocery room."

The child abuse and murder case caused a great sensation that year.

All the useful details are recorded in the file.

And the infirmary, in the eyes of many people back then, was an inconsequential detail.

Information that is not useful to the case will not be recorded.

This is also the reason why Zheng Kai did not see the infirmary in the file.

Zheng Kai frowned slightly.

He is not a specialized crime-solving officer per se.

He will have his own ideas from the perspective of thinking about the problem, and besides, this kindergarten is related to his life safety, and he cannot just rely on the files of the year.

Zheng Kai bowed to the old man again: "Thank you for answering my question." ”

After speaking, Zheng Kai walked towards the kitchen.

The staff dormitory has been demolished, so naturally there is no need to look at it.

The kitchen can be set aside for the time being.

Zheng Kai is now going to the second floor to the south to see the abandoned infirmary with his own eyes.

Looking at the back of Zheng Kai leaving alone, a middle-aged man among the four muttered, "Xiaoqing, where did you find this talent?" I like this guy. ”

Su Qing was stunned for a moment: "Is he a talent?" How don't I think! ”

The old man smiled and nodded: "I like him a lot, too." ”

"Teacher, you ......."

Of the group, only the young man seemed to be hostile to Zheng Kai, and everyone else admired Zheng Kai.

Especially this old man!

The old man walked slowly outside, he was curious about what Zheng Kai would do next: "Actually, this case has not been solved yet. ”

The old man's eyes flashed with the experience of more than 20 years ago, not all cases have results, and not all criminals can be arrested.

"When I investigated this case back then, the most difficult problem I encountered was not the meticulousness of losing to the criminal, nor the loss of my own negligence."

"I lost out on time."

The social impact of the case is too strong.

During that time, everyone in Zhi'an City lived in fear, they were afraid that their children would become one of the children in the puzzle kindergarten, and they were afraid that the murderer would expand the target from children to adults.

Under the huge pressure of public opinion, the General Administration could only push out Guo Shengping, the most suspicious person.

In particular, Guo Sheng's life was still missing during that time, and no one could be found.

In this way, his suspicion is even greater.

If sufficient time had been given for the investigation, the outcome of the case might have been different.

This is the hurdle in the old man's heart.

Regardless of whether Guo Shengping was the real murderer in the end, he felt that he couldn't go away.

Because the judgment of convicting a person has changed from evidence to people's desire, which makes the old man feel afraid.

When the evidence is no longer important, anyone can be convicted.

The old man's eyes were very complicated.

What he admires about Zheng Kai is that this young man has a very unique perspective on problems.

After a short period of contact, his appreciation for Zheng Kai became more and more intense.

To solve a case, sometimes what is needed is a novel brain circuit.

.......

The other side.

Zheng Kai finally walked to the door of the second-story building on the south side.

The door used to have a white seal, but now it is too damaged to see what it was.

With a slight tug, the seemingly solid door was opened by Zheng Kai.

Squeak~

There was a harsh grinding sound on the door, which gave people goosebumps.

The pale gray dust made Zheng Kai squint slightly and covered his mouth and nose.

After waiting for a while, Zheng Kai walked inside.

After coming in, Zheng Kai had the most intuitive understanding of this two-story building.

The door is facing the staircase.

And on both sides of the staircase, on the left are the infirmary and toilets; On the right is the toy storage room and the kindergarten teacher's office.

Every room has a seal on the door.

White cobwebs hung around every corner, and no one had been in for a long time.

If Zheng Kai and Su Qing hadn't come here today, the two-story building would have been bulldozed by the construction team and disappeared into the world.

"There's another place I've overlooked."

There are some things, the more you think about it, the more you have questions.

Zheng Kai didn't go to the infirmary immediately, but looked at the innermost room on the right, and the sign on it read: Kindergarten Teacher's Office.

Teachers......

The soles of your feet stepped on the dusty ground without a sound.

Zheng Kai cautiously walked towards the kindergarten teacher's office.

When I got to the door, the glass on the office door was all shattered.

Zheng Kai didn't go in, but poked half his head in through the broken window and took a look.

It's all clutter!

Covered with mildew, smelly wooden legs of tables and chairs, and cardboard boxes that don't look like they are, this place doesn't look like an office at all.

After hesitating, Zheng Kai did not choose to push the door in.

He wrote down all the layout of the office, even where the lights were turned on and off.

This place is also not mentioned in the dossier.

Obviously, in the minds of the search personnel back then, the infirmary and the kindergarten teacher's office were assigned to ordinary places.

Suddenly, Zheng Kai saw a crack in the wall, and some patterns were faintly revealed.

Pick off a small piece of wall skin, and the pattern becomes clearer and clearer.

"Graffiti?"

Zheng Kai just tugged lightly, and the original wall skin instantly fell off, revealing the inside appearance.

Let's go!

The wall skin fell to the ground, splashing dust directly.

Zheng Kai was choked and coughed, and shook his hand a few times to disperse the dust in front of him.

At this moment, Su Qing and the others also walked in.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

The old man's eyes widened even more, staring at the wall after it had fallen off.

As Zheng Kai thought, it was indeed graffiti.

And it's a child's style of painting is very rough and simple, and you can't tell what you're drawing at a glance.

Zheng Kai took a few steps back, his gaze covering the entire wall.

After a few seconds, he stopped paying attention to the graffiti on the walls and finally walked in the direction of the infirmary.

He had some guesses in his mind.

But these speculations need to be verified and cannot be said to others.

Zheng Kai didn't plan to speak, he just wanted to walk around silently and leave.

But the old man seemed to care about Zheng Kai's thoughts, and when Zheng Kai passed by him, he spoke: "Young man, what do you think this graffiti is drawing?" ”

Zheng Kai's eyes flickered: "I don't know." ”

Among the people present, except for Zheng Kai, all of them were comrades with experience in solving cases.

They came into contact with much more cunning prisoners than Zheng Kai.

Because of this,

They could see at a glance that Zheng Kai didn't want to tell the truth.

Su Qing just wanted to ask, but the old man pressed Su Qing's shoulder and smiled at Zheng Kai: "Go and get busy with you." ”

Zheng Kai came to the door of the infirmary, this time he did not hesitate, directly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Teacher, he must have thought of something."

Su Qing said very firmly.

The old man was very helpless: "What he can think of, can't you think of?" ”

When he came into contact with Zheng Kai's eyes, the old man knew that what he was thinking in his heart was the same as what Zheng Kai was thinking.

In this case,

They searched in the wrong direction from the start.
