I Became a God in a Horror Game: 76. Children’s Welfare Institute (1st update)

————————

At the same time, Lu Yizhan and his colleagues are also investigating the case of missing children in the orphanage.

"You said, this matter should be under the control of the Criminal Police Brigade, or some special department?" Lu Yizhan's colleague looked unhappy, "Look at the surveillance footage of the child's disappearance, this is something we can't handle !”

"The four children heard a flute in the early morning last night, and then they lined up and went out to play in the central children's park. The most evil thing is that these children don't seem to be hypnotized or sleepwalking at all. I deliberately avoided the monitoring, which means that these four children are all sane, and after an hour of swinging in that small children's park, these children suddenly disappeared from the monitoring!"

The colleague started to curse while talking: "Damn, but the child is gone, the equipment is still moving, I didn't sleep well yesterday after watching the monitoring..."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yizhan's colleague couldn't help rubbing his arm, and he got goosebumps all over his body: "Now there are only 5 children left, and they were going to be transferred to other orphanages, but now the hospital is in trouble again. When something like this happens, everyone must stay in this orphanage on standby for investigation, it's so **** weird!"

Lu Yizhan frowned: "Go to the dean first."

"Principal? I don't think she will say anything." Lu Yizhan's colleague curled her lips and muttered, "This old woman never reported the missing child! If it wasn't for the hospital's follow-up incident, she died of mushroom poisoning. People, this case has been upgraded to a higher level, when we came to strictly check the children, we found that the number was wrong and four were missing, and no one knew that there were still missing children!"

"Then we have to go over and ask." Lu Yizhan said in a calm tone, "She must know something."

In the dean's office, Mu Ke's father had already discussed with the dean about the donation and went to talk with other people. The old dean was the only one in the dean's office.

The old dean sat in a chair and looked at Lu Yizhan who came to look for her with drooping eyelids: "You ask me why I didn't report the child missing?"

Lu Yizhan nodded, and the old dean suddenly laughed. She tremblingly opened the drawer, took out a bunch of receipts and handed them to Lu Yizhan: "Young man, are you new here? I reported it, but in what year did you find my child? So this time I simply did not report, anyway, our orphanage is about to close down."

Lu Yizhan frowned and looked at the alarm receipt that the old dean handed him.

The oldest of these receipts is from ten years ago, and all of them are reported missing children, but the reference opinions of the investigation are [children run away from home on their own], so there is no follow-up.

"Our private orphanage holds a Children's Day performance every year for the well-meaning people who invest in our welfare institution, so that these money-spending bosses can see the conditions of the children they are raising, but the annual Children's Day report performance Afterwards, there will be children missing in our orphanage, and the investigation results show that the children managed to escape by themselves."

The old dean said slowly: "At that time, your police suspected that our orphanage abused children, so the children [run away from home], but the investigation found that there was no abuse here, and these children wanted to run away. We didn't do anything outrageous to these children, such as human organ trafficking, pedophilia trade, you have already investigated this place, didn't you find it?"

The old dean raised his eyelids: "It is very common, very ordinary children who run away from home and then disappear."

"Missing children are hard to find. These small beans are like a grain of rice falling into the sea of ​​people. When you look for these children who deliberately avoid you, you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, so you end up missing it every year."

Colleagues at Lu Yizhan couldn't help interjecting: "But this time, watching the surveillance, the children in the park were sitting on swings and disappeared! This is not a disappearance case that ran out!"

"The thing you said is too strange, how could it happen? Our surveillance system has been used for a long time, and it is old and old." The old dean said lightly, "Maybe it is broken or malfunctioned?"

Lu Yizhan's colleagues were choked for a while, and just about to question the old dean sternly, they were stopped by Lu Yizhan.

Lu Yizhan asked calmly: "Dean, it's our fault that we couldn't find the child, but you should still report it, and you should have not reported it for more than a year, right? I just checked your receipt, For a few years, there were no children, and you said that children disappeared every year, so what is the truth?"

The old dean was silent for a few minutes, then turned around and found a large file bag from the dusty place in the bookcase behind her, she blew off the dust on it, pulled the thread from it, and A thick book like a photo album was pulled out from inside, and then opened.

The first page is [200x Children's Welfare Institute Cultural Performance Group Photo] - this is obviously the archives of this private orphanage.

In the photo, dozens of children are standing awkwardly next to a group of successful people in suits and ties, showing cute and fake smiles that have been taught thousands of times, and a little lipstick mark on their foreheads. The lips were painted bright red, gaudy and old-fashioned.

"Children go missing every year, but I really don't report them every year." The old director looked at the children in the photo and said in a drawn-out tone, "Even if someone has spent a year or two in this children's welfare home , It won’t last long, and it’s going to close down, so it’s okay to talk about these old things with you.”

"Many of the children here are actually not so easy to discipline. To put it mildly, it means to have a personality. To put it bluntly, it means that they are wild-tempered, and they like to run outside."

"Some of them did not run away from home, but escaped with guilt."

The old dean turned another page as he spoke. This page was like a diary for children's education records. Investors who watched the show robbed investors of their belongings and mobile phones, and were punished by cleaning the entire courtyard and fasting for one day. Additional punishments will be added depending on the situation]

"For example, this group of children beat up investors after the show and then ran away that night. The welfare home invested by these investors will not end well."

The old dean's finger clicked on the punishment, which was meaningful: "At least the punishment cannot be just a day of fasting."

"Dean, can I have a look at that group photo?" Lu Yizhan's focus was elsewhere, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

The dean handed the file bag to Lu Yizhan, and Lu Yizhan turned to the [200x Children's Welfare Institute Art Performance Group Photo] on the previous page, his eyes quickly searched among the children in the photo, and finally locked on the edge of the corner one of the children.

Even if this child is painted with lipstick and has a big red dot on the brow, he doesn't look funny, but has a very faint beauty of a little girl, but this beauty is destroyed by his calm eyes, Showing a kind of precociousness beyond his age, the other children seemed to be a bunch of idiots in his cold eyes, which was very eye-catching.

No one is more familiar with this face than Lu Yizhan at this time.

Lu Yizhan's eyes fell on the child in this photo without moving. He pointed to the child and looked up at the old dean: "Who is this child? What's his name?"

"Is this child?" The old dean looked at it for a while, and seemed to be lost in memory, "He was the child who took the lead in beating the investor and ran away, so I have a deep memory of him. When he came to the orphanage He just said that his name is Bai and Bai Liu."

"No." Lu Yizhan propped his hands on the table with a "slap" and stared at the old dean, "His name is Bai Liu. It is true that he used to be called Bai Liu, but he changed his name when he was fourteen years old. , He was never called by this name again, he came out of the public orphanage with me, it is impossible for him to appear in this private orphanage at the same time!"

"But..." The old dean looked at Lu Yizhan with a slightly confused look, "Did you recognize the wrong person? This kid named Bai Liu was found by investors after he escaped Come back, and he failed to leave here, Bai Liu died not long after he was found."

"Dead? What was his cause of death?" Lu Yizhan asked in a strange tone.

The old dean sighed: "It's a strange way of dying. He accidentally ate a strange coin. There was a hole in the middle of the coin, and he swallowed it into the trachea. He died within a few minutes. , because he suffered some very bad things in our orphanage before he left and after he came back, so...we all suspect that Bai Liu committed suicide."

Lu Yizhan moved his eyes stiffly, and looked at the expressionless Bai Liu in the black and white photo. Drenched in sweat from the performance, Lu Yizhan felt that these strange things were pressing down on his chest invisibly and heavily. He stared at the thin boy in the photo, feeling a little out of breath.

That was Bai Liu ten years ago.

Bai Liu stepped forward to pick up the doll next to the seesaw. This is a handmade doll. It is obvious that the reference template is him, but the texture is very old, but there is still a little ribbon left on the leg of the doll. It seems that it should be a handmade gift doll - generally this kind of gift doll will have the date of gift or production on it

Bai Liu rummaged through the doll, trying to find if there was a date, and finally found a line of handwritten dates inside the twisted-off head.

This is indeed a doll from ten years ago.

And Bai Liu has only been working for two or three years. He only started to dress up the doll as a social animal in a shirt and suit pants after he started working. The coin hanging around his neck was obtained not long ago after Bai Liu joined the game. , the concrete carrier of the system.

His current outfit was used to order a doll ten years ago, and his head and limbs were twisted off and thrown here.

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes.
