Chi He spat, stretched out a few fingers and rubbed them together. Yuan Chen suppressed the urge in his heart to beat him up and handed him a few pieces of paper. He took them and put them in his arms.
"No, I kindly took her in back then, but ended up spending so much money on her. Damn it, she's going to die just now when she starts making money!"
He wiped it with paper, looking unhappy.
"Then where did you find her?"
Chi He rubbed his fingers again and cursed, looking like a gangster.
Yuan Chen grabbed his hand and pressed it on the table, smashing the liquor bottle on his finger. He wailed and said tremblingly:
"Aren't you a policeman? How can a policeman beat someone?"
Yuan Chen was startled, and then calmly withdrew his hand. At that moment, his emotions were indeed out of control.
He really couldn't stand what this scumbag did.
Chi He quickly pulled his hands away and hid them under his buttocks as if he was receiving an amnesty.
"Chi Rui is her stage name. Her original name was Yi Lian. Do you know Zishan Orphanage? She ran out of it and was taken in by me."
Yi Ran? Yi Lian?
Yuan Chen suddenly stood up, glared at Chi He, and strode away.
Sitting in the car, his body was shaking with excitement.
Yi Ran, Yi Lian, Zishan Orphanage...
............
Zishan Orphanage is located on Zishan, in the western suburbs of Jinghai City, and coincidentally, Director Xu of Zishan Orphanage and Yuan Chen have known each other for many years.
When Yuan Chen was working as a criminal police officer in Country M, due to the special nature of his profession, he often had to deal with the placement of orphans. Among them were many children from China who lost their parents at a young age due to various reasons. Zishan Orphans
The orphanage is the largest orphanage in Jinghai City, so it is naturally their counterpart.
Most of these children are less than ten years old, but they have lost their parents early. They are very pitiful. Yuan Chen makes donations in his own name every year, and sometimes comes to help when he returns to China.
Dean Xu was a woman in her fifties, with a kind face and kind eyes. She spoke slowly and softly. When she saw Yuan Chen coming, she smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"I thought you wouldn't come back. It's so nice to see you again."
It was indeed a joy to see old friends again. The two chatted for a while. Yuan Chen followed Dean Xu as he walked around the orphanage, watching the maple leaves getting redder.
"There used to be a pair of twins named Yi Ran and Yi Lian in the orphanage, right?" he asked slowly.
Dean Xu stopped, nodded, and sighed slightly.
"I know about Yi Lian's death. Your colleagues have come here to ask before. Is it the child sent by your bureau back then? Now something has happened. I know that people like you who value love and justice will not ignore it.
"
"The child we sent here?" Yuan Chen suddenly stopped.
"Oh yes, maybe you just returned to China not long ago, so you haven't heard of it. This was a case in a small and medium-sized tuck shop twenty years ago, and these two children were twins."
............
Back at the station, Yuan Chen found the criminal policeman who was responsible for investigating the case, his name was Hu Yiming.
Opening the folder found in the archives room and looking at the information on Yi Ran and Yi Lian, everything seemed to be right before my eyes.
Twenty years ago, a case occurred in Jinghai City that shocked the whole city. In order to celebrate their birthday, three students from a school planned to climb over the wall and go to an Internet cafe. However, they found that they did not have enough money, so they robbed the canteen next to the school.
The canteen was run by a young couple. As soon as the husband pulled down the rolling shutter door, he was unexpectedly stabbed in the back with a knife.
The wife was imprisoned in a canteen by three students and tortured. They poured hot water on her face and forced her to reveal where the money was. They then cut her throat and died.
The couple also had twin daughters, an elder sister named Yiran and a younger sister named Yilian. They were just eight years old at the time. They were doing homework with their grandmother at home and waiting for their parents to come home, but they did not expect that they would never go home again.
As soon as my grandmother heard the news, she suffered a heart attack on the spot and was sent to the hospital, but she was not rescued.
The two sisters had no other relatives, so they were sent to an orphanage by the criminal police team.
This case was investigated by Hu Yiming. The case was actually not difficult at all. On the second morning, they caught three people in the Internet cafe who were still surfing the Internet all night long.
When they were arrested, they were even laughing and eating the food they had snatched as a matter of course, without any sense of guilt as they had just killed someone.
Two of the students were sentenced because they were fourteen years old, but one boy was not celebrating his fourteenth birthday the next day and therefore escaped legal sanctions.
Hu Yiming still remembers that there was a considerable controversy surrounding this case at that time. The topic of discussion was whether the boy was under fourteen years old when the case occurred.
At first, the owner of the Internet cafe said they went there after 1 a.m., but the next day he changed his story and said it was after 11 p.m.
The boy's family is a local businessman, and Hu Yiming and the others had investigated and found that they were suspected of being involved in organized crime.
But the Internet cafe owner, the only witness, wasted time. After all, it involved minors and caused quite a stir in society. At that time, they did not dare to use subjective assumptions to interfere with the handling of the case, and could only act in accordance with the law.
Later, the police could not find evidence to prove that the wife died after twelve o'clock at night, and the confessions of the three people all said that the crime occurred at around ten o'clock in the evening, which is also consistent with the closing time of the canteen next to the school.
Therefore, the court finally determined that the boy was under the age of fourteen at the time of the crime and did not need to bear legal responsibility.
However, Hu Yiming and his colleagues were only responsible for arresting people, and sentencing was a matter for the court. The most embarrassing thing about this incident was that the three students robbed a total of 280 yuan, as well as some cigarettes and snacks.
.
Just for such a small thing, two people were killed and two children were left alone.
Everyone's lives were ruined, completely ruined, and it seemed that only the boy who changed his name escaped.
Yiran and Yilian were originally sent to this orphanage by Hu Yiming hand in hand.
"They are really two very strong children. Except for the day when the crime happened, they cried a lot. Since then, they have not shed a tear. They said that if their parents saw them crying in the sky, they would be sad.
Sad.”
Hu Yiming said, his nose felt sore and he started to choke.
Although twenty years have passed and the two children have grown up, they are still vivid in my mind when I think about it now.
The air around him suddenly became colder. Yuan Chen shuddered and turned to look at the mirror aside. There he saw the female evil spirit lying on his shoulder. She had disheveled hair and was wet all over.
