The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

The director of the orphanage did not take a step out of the village on the night he was about to leave. So, where did he go?

This question kept entangled in the minds of the other three people, and Leng Yu's next sentence was even more surprising. Only when she said coldly: "He was killed."

After the three listened, they remained silent for a long time.

This is a fact that no one dares to think about.

It was not until later that Xiao Cheng asked, "Boss, was he killed by someone or did he accidentally fall into a cliff and die?"

Leng Yu asked calmly: "Did you ever see a cliff when you came here?"

Xiao Cheng was stunned, then lowered his head and said, "That's not true."

Huang Lin glanced at Xiao Cheng, and then asked, "Then, if he is really killed, who is the one who killed him, and then, where is his body?"

Leng Yu turned his head to look at the village chief Ye, and asked, "Mr. Ye, have you thought about this?"

Chief Ye's face twitched, and he nodded and said, "I thought about it, but I would rather take a chance."

"So, this is why you have never dared to step into this orphanage anymore?" Leng Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Village Chief Ye shook his head and said, "Not really, because after the dean is gone, I still occasionally visit the orphanage. It's just that... I was also driven away later, until a few years later. I just came back. But when I came back to the village, I overheard the villagers saying that the orphanage had been abandoned, and since then, I was reluctant to step into the orphanage."

After listening, Huang Lin widened her eyes and asked, "You were also driven away?"

Mayor Ye glanced at her and nodded again: "Yes."

Leng Yu had countless thoughts in his mind, knowing that Mr. Ye still had many secrets about the orphanage, about Liang Chengyuan and his wife, and Dr. Lin.

She sighed and said to the village chief Ye: "Mr. Ye, can you tell us what happened in the orphanage after the dean left?"

Village Chief Ye looked down for a long time, and then said, "A lot of things have happened in the orphanage, but it's all because of my cowardice. If I had been brave back then, I might not have missed so many children."

The child is gone?

Leng Yu and others felt a little strange, why did he say that the child is missing?

However, they didn't interrupt, they just waited quietly for what Village Chief Ye wanted to say next.

He sighed and said, "Just two weeks after the dean left, I stepped into the orphanage again. Since the dean was dismissed by the mayor, Chen Yiqin has become the dean here, and I Whenever she wanted to see her, she always tweeted that she was very busy and didn't want to meet with me."

After a pause, he said again: "I don't think she would like to meet with me, nor would she want to talk about the affairs here after taking over the position of the dean, so I won't force her, after all, the affairs of the orphanage I have never intervened, so I had to give it up. However, my visit to the orphanage is considered to be one thing, not in vain."

Leng Yu asked, "What did you find?"

Chief Ye's eyes were dark, and he said, "I found a chance to talk to a little boy in the yard. This little boy was sent to the orphanage because his parents had no money to support him. However, he has been By the time he was 9 years old, his parents had never seen him once, alas..."

In fact, there are many young couples in the village, or young men and women who don’t know how to take contraceptive measures. Therefore, most of them are abandoned to the orphanage after they have given birth and are unable to raise them.

After Mayor Ye sighed several times, he told Leng Yu and others what he had heard.

That year, the head of village Ye walked outside the orphanage and saw a little boy crying in a secret corner. He quickly walked to the little boy's side. After seeing no one next to him, he whispered: "Koizumi Quan, why are you crying?"

When Koizumi raised his eyes to see that it was Mr. Ye, his tears fell even more and he sobbed, "Ye... Mr. Ye, do you think Koizumi is not good?"

Village Chief Ye was very surprised why he asked himself such a sentence, but when he saw him crying very sadly, he squatted down, touched the top of his head, and asked, "What's the matter? Why did Koizumi say that? "

Koizumi wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeves and said, "Mum and Dad have never come to see me. She said that Mom and Dad will come, but I waited for a long time without seeing them."

"Who is he?" Mayor Ye asked.

"It's Xiao Xinxin. Xiao Xinxin always tells my parents that they will come back, so I wait patiently. However, I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait, now Xiao Xinxin is gone again... She asked me to wait for her here. , But, I have waited for her from yesterday to now..." Koizumi said while crying, and then raised a pair of bright eyes to look at Mayor Ye.

Mayor Ye frowned and was a little confused about what Koizumi said. He asked, "Xiao Xinxin? Why did Xiao Xinxin let you wait for her here?"

Koizumi shook his head and said, "I don't know. She suddenly ran to me yesterday and told me to come here and wait for her. I thought she was going to play hide and seek with me, so I hid here. She told me not to When she said it out, she said that only me and her knew about it, so let me not tell anyone that I was hiding here. She also said that except for eating time, you must stay here, not Let people find out."

Tong Yan Tong Yu, but it made Village Chief Ye suspicious.

He asked: "Then do you know where Xiao Xinxin went?"

Koizumi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know where she went... Does she also dislike me and don't want to play with me?" When he finished speaking, he cried again. .

Village Chief Ye immediately took out some small candies from his arms, gave them to Koizumi, and said softly to him: "Koizumi, here are the sweets, so you won’t cry. I’ll go and ask your good friend Xiaoquan. Where exactly is Xinxin. You stay here for now, don't leave."

As a result, Mr. Ye left the little boy and went to a kitchen behind the orphanage, where he saw a woman cooking.

He coughed and asked, "Who is Xiao Xinxin?"

After seeing him, the female chef quickly lowered her head without saying a word.

Mayor Ye took a step and asked again: "Who is Xiao Xinxin? Where did she go?"

After all, the female chef was afraid of his identity as the village head, and said, "No... I don't know. I didn't see her when I woke up the children today. Later, I asked Dean Chen, she Said that Xiao Xinxin probably didn't like it here, and left in the middle of the night. Dean Chen also said, if you come to find her, tell you that she is not available, and then if someone asks about Xiao Xinxin, tell them that she is missing ."

After Mr. Ye heard it, his suspicions were even worse. He asked again: "Are all the things of Xiao Xinxin still there?"

The female chef nodded and said: "Also... still there."

"Then how can you trust her to leave in the middle of the night? If you want to leave, you have to bring all your clothes, right? Tell me, how old is she this year?" Village Chief Ye asked angrily.

Seeing his fierce attitude, the female chef said in fear: "She... She is 12 years old this year."

12 years old. .

Children of this age should be somewhat sensible.

Why did she let Koizumi Izumi hide in that secret corner and wait for her? Did she know something?

Before Mr. Ye had time to think about it, he hurried back to the place where he met Koizumi just now, and saw that he was gone. He then looked around, but he couldn't find it anymore.

At this moment, when Mayor Ye recalled this incident, his face was full of regret.

He regretted leaving Koizumi there alone.

After hearing this episode, Leng Yu asked, "Later, will you see Koizumi again?"

Mayor Ye shook his head and said, "When I visited the orphanage again later, I never saw him again."

Leng Yu gave an "um" and asked, "So, except for Xiao Xinxin and Koizumi Quan, have other children disappeared one after another?"

Mayor Ye nodded and said, "Yes. I found that the children disappeared one by one, but other children were always sent over in the orphanage, so the number of children did not decrease drastically. Maybe every time. In three months, one child will be missing, and the child sent over may have one within a month."

According to him, the disappearance of the child did not attract the attention of other villagers, because after the child disappeared, another child was sent to the orphanage to make up for the number of missing children, thus concealing the fact of the disappearance. .

Leng Yu frowned and asked, "So, among the children sent to this orphanage, is it possible that they are children from other villages?"

Village Chief Ye nodded and said, "There are also. After all, after the orphanage becomes more famous, people will bring the children over one after another."

"What happened?" Leng Yu asked again.

"Later, the child’s disappearance made me suspicious. But there was another thing that made me feel even more distressed. Every time I came back to the orphanage, I saw some scars on the child’s body, some of which were new injuries. And some are old scars. Without thinking about it, I knew that all of this was made by Chen Yiqin, a perverted woman. It's just that she had a huge backing behind her, so no one dared to expose what she did." Chief Ye Village said.

At this time, Xiao Cheng, who was standing behind him, asked, "As the village head, haven't you thought about how to save the children?"

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he thought of the poor orphans back then, and couldn't help but turn his anger on the head of Village Chief Ye, so he asked him with anger in his tone of voice.

Mayor Ye smiled bitterly and said, "The backer behind her is the Mayor of Nanshi. This man is very powerful and can't offend him at all, plus I don't have any evidence to expose her. So, the only thing I can do I took advantage of the reputation of the orphanage, contacted some organizations that adopted children, and brought infertile couples to this village and asked them to take the children away. That's all I can do, and I can save one. ."

He paused and continued: "When the adoption incident spread in the village, more and more unborn couples came here to adopt children, but Chen Yiqin became unwilling because of this. Although At first she was able to accept the adoption of the orphans, but she was afraid that one day what she had done would be spread, so she contacted the mayor of Nanshi and kicked me out of the village, and the adoption came to an end."

Leng Yu asked calmly, "Did you drive you away on the charge of bribery?"

Village Chief Ye lowered his head and said, "Yes. She said that I charged a lot of money from a pair of young couples to make their entire adoption process very simple. What's more, I quietly stole the child and gave it to I came to the couple who wanted to adopt a child in the village."

"Huh, what is this abnormal woman doing with so many children?!" Xiao Cheng couldn't help cursing loudly again.

Why did Chen Yiqin, a young and beautiful woman insist on keeping so many orphans?

The author has something to say: Many years ago, the author watched a French film "LesChorites", which inspired me to write this case.
