This little episode made Chu Cheng feel a little weird, but he didn't ask any questions.
Before leaving, Huang Liping politely said that you and our Xiaocheng live close to each other and are colleagues, so we can walk around more when there is nothing to do, and we can also take care of each other in work and life.
They were all ordinary polite words, but when Fana listened, the reaction on her face looked particularly serious.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chu Cheng seemed to feel that the girl was still standing at the fork in the back after they separated, watching them leave. Until they had disappeared and the crowd could no longer see each other when they turned around, Chu Cheng seemed to still be able to feel her.
That unblinking gaze.
"This girl is pretty good, isn't she?" Huang Liping said with a smile.
"What's good?"
It's really hard to criticize Fana in terms of her appearance, but her temperament feels weird and she's a bit precious about words. After a meal, she spoke far more phrases than complete sentences, which seemed a bit unnatural.
.
Mom doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. She thinks being less talkative is proof of being honest and well-behaved. But Chu Cheng feels the opposite. He's still wondering if there's some misunderstanding or if the other party deliberately deceived them and said he was living with his mother.
But in fact, she is the only one on the family register.
But looking at the sudden glint in her eyes when she mentioned her mother, it didn't seem like she was lying. That would make people think even more horribly.
Whether it is a supernatural development that she really lives with her mother who has been living with her for many years, or an Arkham-style development that her mother is actually just a fantasy in her head, it all feels quite dangerous.
But in short, since she passed the mental evaluation at the lunatic asylum, and the old thief Miyazaki seems to have confirmed that she is very stable, then Chu Cheng can only say that he hopes they really know what they are doing. But he Chu
For the time being, I still think it would be wiser to keep a distance from such unstable factors.
Taking my mother for a walk in the shopping district was the follow-up activity of today, and I bought her some clothes by the way. The only other advantage of working in a lunatic asylum is that it makes a lot of money, and the salary in the back row is not low.
It’s impossible to buy a house or a car in one step, but it’s still fun to treat your mother to a meal and buy some clothes. Huang Liping didn’t say it, but her expression of joy couldn’t be hidden. Her mother received a gift from her child.
The mood at that moment is hard to compare.
Chu Cheng originally checked online and found that there was a dessert shop here with a good reputation, but when he walked here, he found that there was another long queue, so he had to give up.
When you go out these days, the queues for food, drinks, and desserts are as long as the women's toilets in tourist centers in scenic spots, and there is no limit on the number of queues, starting in an hour.
After eating, drinking, and shopping, Chu Cheng felt that his blue bar was almost full. After returning to the apartment, he sat in front of the computer and logged in again.
When it went online again, the DNA comparison results extracted from the Yoshimura couple's home last night were also available, and a match was actually found.
It is indeed a child.
Raya Hada, twelve years old. She had been arrested for burglary and had a record with the Sheriff's Department, so the DNA data was recorded in the Sheriff's Department's system.
He has no parents or direct relatives, and his registration file records him as an orphan from an orphanage in the south of the city.
File records show that she was found on the grass in the suburbs, and a couple heard her crying while driving by in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the couple was quite brave, and they were not scared away directly.
I got out of the car and used a flashlight to follow the direction of the crying, and then I 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 was not the first time. Laya has been an out-and-out person since she was a child.
She has been accused of being a problem child, and has committed theft, fight, and fraud. She has a wide range of interests, is not picky about food, and is not partial to science.
But even so, she was actually adopted from an orphanage a year ago. Although her adoptive parents, Jordan and his wife, are not very rich, their conditions are at least mid-range even in a city like Jiangdu.
Treat it completely as your own, but it's definitely not bad.
But days like this could not last forever.
Some time ago, Jordan and his wife disappeared mysteriously on the same night.
The Sheriff's Department quickly arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation, but could not find any clues. All the doors and windows in the home were locked, and there were no signs of damage or break-in. The two people seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and their whereabouts have not been found so far.
.
No relatives were willing to take care of the child, so Lana once again returned to the orphanage, the place where she grew up.
Until a month ago, she also disappeared.
The investigation records of the Sheriff's Department showed that it was a case that was almost as strange as the disappearance of her adoptive parents. It also made the investigating sheriff scratch his head and couldn't figure out what happened.
It also happened overnight, in a large dormitory where eight children lived together.
There were eight children, that is to say, there were seven people in the room except for the missing Raya. But no one among the seven people noticed anything was wrong. Only when they woke up in the morning, they were surprised to find that one person was missing from the room.
The night guard assured that not a single living person entered the building throughout the night, and the Sheriff did not believe that anyone could take a twelve-year-old girl away from the room without alerting anyone. And
The remaining children also said that the door was still locked when they woke up in the morning.
Investigation records show that there has been little progress in the case so far, and the girl is still missing. But Chu Cheng clearly scanned her DNA information from the Yoshimura couple's home, indicating that she at least appeared there.
Chu Cheng thought for a while and decided to go to the orphanage first.
The location of the orphanage is relatively remote compared to the urban area. Chu Cheng has never been to such a place in reality, and his impressions of the orphanage are all in movies, TV books and works.
This time, although Batman was still remotely controlled in front of the computer, I must admit that what he saw was still impressive.
It was completely different from what he imagined. As a place where a group of children lived, there was no warmth or sunshine. The first impression it gave people was more like... Arkham.
Yes, this is really the first impression this building gave Batman on the screen when he landed outside the door.
The iron courtyard door was only locked, and thick old chains were wrapped around the door like snakes. There was no one in the empty courtyard, and the cold wind blew through the branches, like the whisper of ghosts and gods.
The light in the yard is quite bad, reminiscent of a horror movie with a ten-level underworld filter. Judging from the layout of the yard, it can be seen that the lighting during the day is also very bad, and it is likely that there will be no sunlight all year round.
Literally the corner where the sun doesn't shine.
Entering this building is easier than imagined. The guard in the security booth by the courtyard gate is reading a newspaper with his legs crossed, while the guard downstairs is watching short videos on his mobile phone.
In addition, everything from the courtyard to the building was deserted, with almost no signs of living people.
Batman passed silently through the corridor. 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 perspective of the detective mode is turned on, the corridors in front, back, left and right are basically empty.
No one.
As he passed a certain classroom, he noticed some children inside.
But it's not like ordinary schools or kindergartens where they would want to cause trouble in the classroom if they are left unattended for a while. Here it is just the opposite. In a classroom with more than ten or twenty children, they are eerily quiet.
There were children sitting in the corner, rolling their eyes and drooling. There were also children staring at the blackboard in a daze, twitching from time to time, and making two weird laughs.
And those that look normal also appear gloomy and weird.
Or maybe sanity becomes a curse here, because then you have to learn how to accept reality day after day.
Batman found the target dormitory. Raya's bed was still empty, but there were other children living in the dormitory. In addition, so much time had passed, and most of the clues and traces that might have been left have now disappeared.
He was about to start scanning, but soon he noticed the movement outside through detective mode.
Someone is coming this way.
"The Sheriff's Department is still investigating...but they also say the chances are slim."
That was a man's voice.
"If you want to see for yourself, her bed is over here. But people from the Sheriff's Department have come to see it several times, and it's been quite a while, so I don't think there's anything else we can find...
..”
Batman got out of the window before they entered and stood close to the wall on a bulge outside the building.
Chu Cheng secretly observed through Batman's perspective, and the facial recognition in detective mode quickly recognized who the person was.
The name of the man who spoke was Zhai Liangtao, the director of this orphanage.
And what came with him was...
...Fana?
