The murderer killed the two victims in a short period of time, but Tan Wan knew very well in his heart that the murderer's targets had three from beginning to end, corresponding to the three threatening letters.

It's not so much a threatening letter as a warning letter.

Usually, the murderer sends a letter before committing the crime for two purposes: one is to threaten the victim and make a profit;

The other is that the murderer is confident that he can succeed in killing, and sends the letter to make the victim feel fearful in order to satisfy some special desires.

The first two cases have been revealed, and now only the last victim has not appeared.

Yin Dong, as the biggest suspect, is still locked up in the police station, and everyone in the police station feels that Yin Dong is now in the police station, and the so-called third case has not appeared for a long time, and Yin Dong can basically be determined to be the murderer.

After all, the murderers are locked up in the police station and can't get out, and the third case is categorically impossible.

But I didn't feel right when I talked about it late.

If the murderer really killed Liu Xiaoyan and arranged the scene of the second crime as a suicide, then after the package was delivered to Liu Xiaoyan's house, he had to appear at Liu Xiaoyan's house in person, otherwise he would not be able to arrange it.

But after Li Dongliao's investigation, Yin Dong fled the scene of the crime that day and happened to go to the law firm to inquire about the verdict on the crime of abduction and trafficking, and the people from the law firm were able to testify for him.

If the murderer is Yin Dong, although he has time to kill the two, he has no time to arrange.

At this point, Yin Dong's suspicion has also been cleared.

The case revolves around the Hearts Orphanage from beginning to end, in order to find out the truth.

As night fell, Tan Wan returned to the orphanage again.

Since Gao Meizi's death, the children in the hospital have been temporarily managed by Wang Mei, the oldest teacher.

Tan Wan stood at the door of the orphanage, quietly, and the withered leaves blew through the door number of the Red Heart Orphanage, which looked particularly desolate.

"Is anyone there?" The big iron gate was wide open, and Tan Wan slowly pushed open the door and walked inside.

In winter, the sun sets early, and although it is already pitch black, it is only six o'clock.

It stands to reason that six o'clock is the time for eating.

But there was a dead silence in the orphanage, and the lights at the windows were dim, and there was no life at all.

It's like that in the front yard, and it's the same in the backyard.

Just as Tan Wan was groping in the orphanage looking for someone, he heard a cold woman's voice behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

The woman's cold voice sounded abruptly in the silent darkness, without warning.

As soon as Tan Wan turned around, he saw a thin figure standing in the dark corridor behind him.

The man's face was obscured by darkness, and the moonlight outside the window hit the man, forming an inverted triangle of shadows on the face, and she stood there motionless, making people feel a kind of uncanny valley effect.

Talking about the night tonight is uninvited, and being so frightened is inevitably a little weak-hearted.

"Uh... Where did all the people in the orphanage go? ”

The woman in front of her was Wang Mei, she stared at Tan Wan quietly for a while, and then said after a long, long time.

"It's all gone, and the children will be sent to other orphanages until the new director comes."

"What about the nurses and other teachers? Are they gone too. ”

After Tan Wan asked, he swallowed lightly, the current situation and atmosphere are too weird, which makes people feel hairy.

Wang Mei replied: "The children won't be back for a while, so I dismissed everyone. ”

When Wang Mei spoke, she always stood still and did not move.

Whenever she asked late, she answered, and even the answer only moved her lips, which made people feel very weird

Tan Wan slowly walked towards Wang Mei, and as the two approached, Tan Wan also saw Wang Mei's appearance clearly.

Her face was pale, her cheekbones were prominent, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and she didn't look very good.

A pair of eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he hadn't had a good rest in days.

Seeing Wang Mei's appearance, Tan Wan's question came to his mouth and swallowed: "Then why are you still here?" ”

I saw Wang Mei look up at the ceiling and say, "I want to stay here." ”

A sentence that she wanted to stay here, so that Tan Wan had nothing to say, she always felt that Teacher Wang had something, but she couldn't open her mouth.

So during the silence of Tan Wan, Wang Mei said lightly: "So, what is the police officer doing here, I heard that the suspect has been arrested and brought to justice." ”

Tan Wan replied: "There are still some doubts in the case, and I want to come to the Red Heart Orphanage to investigate the situation again." ”

After Tan Wan finished speaking, Wang Mei glanced up at the clock on the wall: "Where Officer Tan wants to go, I can lead the way." ”

This time, Tan Wan firmly said what she was thinking: "Backyard, I want to go there." ”

After Wang Mei heard what Tan Wan said, she stared at her in a daze for a while, and then nodded: "Come on." ”

When I met Wang Mei for the first time, I felt it when I talked about it.

This teacher Wang is a withdrawn person, in addition to being enthusiastic about children, he is cold to other adults.

Therefore, when Wang Mei treated Tan Wan like this, although Tan Wan felt awkward, she didn't take it seriously and felt normal.

"Teacher Wang has been working in the orphanage for many years, and I can see that you have a deep affection for this place."

Wang Mei's steps were very fast, and Tan Wan quickened her pace and followed behind.

"It's been a long time." Wang Mei replied softly, she thought for a while and said, "It's been so long that I can't remember when I came." ”

"When we met before, I asked you why you came here to be a teacher, do you remember how you answered me?" Tan Wan said.

Wang Mei was silent, and walked forward vigorously without replying.

Tan Wan continued: "You say, here's something you can't get anywhere else, I want to know what that is? ”

"Did I say anything like that?" Wang Mei denied, "Sorry, I don't remember." ”

"......" Tan Wan looked at her back and was not very satisfied with such an answer.

When she wanted to ask something, Wang Mei had already taken Tan Wan to the backyard.

"This is where the kids live."

The orphanage was much bigger than expected, and when Gao Miko died before, Tan Wan walked through the entire orphanage, but she didn't expect to pass through a narrow aisle, and there was an area that she had never seen before.

The backyard is the same as the front yard, and the ground is poured with concrete.

What is different is that the concrete floor in the backyard is full of potholes, and you can still see puddles formed after rain on the ground.

There were leather balls and two or three hula hoops on the concrete floor, and the plastic hula hoops leaned against the wall, which looked very old from the outside.

Not only those hula hoops, but also the toys on the concrete floor are all old to varying degrees, and they look second-hand.

On the wall of the open air in the backyard, many paintings were painted by children with oil paint, and those paintings exposed to the open air were exposed to the sun day after day, and some of them were no longer visible.

Seeing these paintings, Tan Wan suddenly remembered the little strange children who liked to paint that day.

"By the way, is Xiaoqi also gone?"
