Chapter 231

Xiaojia looked at Gu Changzheng firmly: "Hmm! Police Uncle, I remember now, when we were drawing with Sister Chen, that person was standing under that big tree! I will draw whatever I see!"

At this time, in the Dean's office of the Welfare Institute, Luo Fei was learning about Chen Mengyao's situation from Xiao Fang. After learning about Chen Mengyao's situation, the anger in Luo Fei's heart grew even stronger!

This girl, not yet 24 years old, had just graduated from college for half a year and was a volunteer at the Children's Welfare Institute. She was enthusiastic, kind, and talented. Everyone in the Welfare Institute, whether it was the Dean, teachers, dormitory Auntie, gatekeeper Grandpa, or children of all sizes, praised her!

When Xiao Yuanzhang spoke of Chen Mengyao at this time, she was also tearful and looked very heartbroken!

At this time, Gu Changzheng and forensic doctor Old Zheng brought Xiaojia to the Dean's office. Seeing this, Luo Fei hurriedly stood up and said with an angry face: "Captain Gu! That girl was a college student who just graduated..."

"What about her family?" Gu Changzheng interrupted him and asked.

"This..." Luo Fei touched his head awkwardly.

Gu Changzheng pretended to be angry and said: "Sit down!" Then he said: "Xiao Yuanzhang, after Chen Mengyao's accident, was her family notified?"

"This..." Xiao Fang hesitated. Gu Changzheng's gaze was like a torch, staring at her and saying: "What?"

"Oh! Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen is an orphan!" Xiao Fang said.

"An orphan?" Gu Changzheng was stunned, "Do you know which orphanage she was in before?"

Xiao Fang nodded and said: "I have Chen Mengyao's file here. When this child came to the Welfare Institute as a volunteer, she discussed with me that she didn't want a salary, just asked me to provide her with a place to live, and then she wanted to attend a training class in her spare time. She said she wanted to earn some money in a year and then settle down to take the civil service exam. I felt this child was not easy, so I agreed to her request..."

Xiao Fang was about to continue chattering, Gu Changzheng said: "Alright, thank you Xiao Yuanzhang, please give her file to us."

"Oh! Okay, okay!" Xiao Fang seemed to realize her wordiness and hurriedly stood up, turned to the filing cabinet behind her, pulled open the cabinet door, and pulled out a file bag from the bottom grid: "Officer Gu, this is Chen Mengyao's file!"

"Angel Orphanage?" Seeing the name of the orphanage Chen Mengyao stayed in when she was a child written in her file, Gu Changzheng and Old Zheng were both stunned!

They were too familiar with this name!

———

Angel Orphanage is located at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain in the suburbs of Zizhen City. It is a Gothic building that is very rare in Zizhen.

It is said that it was built by a French missionary during the Republic of China period. As for why such a large villa was built in an inland small city, there are many legends!

However, it no longer bears the responsibility of rescuing orphans here, because since it was involved in the "Supreme God" case three years ago, Angel Orphanage has been banned by the government. Currently, only the retired old Dean Zhou Hui lives inside, which can be considered as looking after this villa.

When Gu Changzheng and forensic doctor Old Zheng arrived with Luo Fei and others, Zhou Hui was already waiting at the door.

Zhou Hui was an old woman in her sixties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and asked in an old voice: "Hehe! Which one is Captain Gu?"

"Oh, Dean Zhou, I am Gu Changzheng!" Gu Changzheng said softly.

"Oh, oh! Hello! I received Xiao Fang's call. She said you were coming to investigate Mengyao's matter. What happened to her? I remember she just graduated from college not long ago, right? Did something happen to her?"

Gu Changzheng frowned, thinking that Xiao Fang was also familiar with this old Dean? It seems this old Dean still didn't know about Chen Mengyao's matter, but it's good not to know. Looking at her age, who knows what might happen if she receives that kind of stimulation!

Gu Changzheng exchanged a look with Old Zheng and Luo Fei, and said softly: "Oh, Old Dean, it's nothing. That, isn't Chen Mengyao preparing for the civil service exam? It just so happens that Xiao Fang and I know each other, so let me help Chen Mengyao check the file first. You also know that the political review for the civil service exam is quite strict!"

Gu Changzheng felt guilty about his own clumsy lie. However, looking at the old lady Zhou, she didn't seem to understand these things. Hearing his words, she smiled happily: "Oh my! That's great! Whatever situation you want to investigate about Mengyao, I can tell you!"

Saying this, she put on a posture of wanting to talk at length. Seeing this, Gu Changzheng hurriedly said: "Hmm, that, Old Dean, you just need to tell us where her file is, we'll take a look ourselves."

"Oh!" The old lady's expression was full of disappointment that couldn't be hidden. But it was also true, she had been staying in this empty villa alone for many years, and besides a cook auntie, there was indeed no one to talk to her.

However, at this time, Gu Changzheng and others had no leisure to chat with her.

After the old lady opened the dusty file, she let them check it themselves, while she lay leisurely on a rocking chair outside, watching them.

Gu Changzheng couldn't care about her, and the three entered the file room.

The file room was full of various documents and photos. Gu Changzheng noticed a group photo hanging on the wall, which was a photo of Zhou Hui and a group of children. In the photo, Zhou Hui's smile was warm and kind, and Gu Changzheng felt that the group of children around her looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where this familiarity came from for a moment, so he put it aside for the time being and focused on flipping through the files.

"Captain Gu!" Luo Fei called out. Gu Changzheng turned his head, only to see Luo Fei holding a file in his hand, and a photo of a girl who looked familiar appeared before his eyes. Although it was a black and white photo, it couldn't hide the girl's beautiful appearance, "Xia Fei!" Gu Changzheng blurted out!

The name registered on the file was exactly the first victim—pediatric nurse at the First Hospital: Xia Fei!

Gu Changzheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He continued to search and soon discovered the file of the second victim, Su Yuqing!

Gu Changzheng felt his whole body turn cold! A bone-chilling coldness surged toward him from all directions!

He had been looking for the connection point of the three victimized girls, never expecting that all three victims came from the same orphanage!

"Dean Zhou!" Gu Changzheng looked up and called, only to see the old lady sleeping on the rocking chair!

"Photo!" He suddenly thought of why he felt the girl in the group photo with Old Lady Zhou looked familiar just now!

At this moment, a terrible thought surged into his heart. He called out: "Luo Fei! Bring that photo over!" He wanted to see how many girls were in that photo, and now he must find their files immediately!

Suddenly, a strange laughter sounded in the orphanage. Gu Changzheng and Luo Fei chased after the sound, but found a small tape recorder outside the attic door on the top floor. The tape box in the recorder was rustling. Luo Fei pressed the rewind button, and after a while, the strange laughter they had just heard came out from inside again!

Several people looked at each other. Luo Fei took out his pistol from his waist and carefully pushed open the attic door. The most shocking thing was that in the center of the room, there was an unfinished "work"—a mannequin wearing a red dress, with its abdomen sliced open and its internal organs arranged into a distorted cross.

"Is, is this a practice ground?" Luo Fei said with a trembling voice.

Rain, still falling. Gu Changzheng stood in front of the attic window, looking at the blurry city lights in the distance.

That madman might be hiding in the darkness that the light couldn't reach! Who will be the next target?
