In the orphanage, the children gathered together, playing a game of cat and mouse, only one girl who looked slightly older was squatting in the corner, ignoring the chasing from the side,
 However, there was no look of loneliness on her face, she just seemed not interested in those boring games.

On the ground was a simple homemade mousetrap, and the girl was staring intently at the mouse that had fallen into the trap in the cage.

It's not a small mouse specially kept as a pet, but the long-tailed, gray-brown haired brown house mouse.

Two middle-aged female nurses were whispering behind her, their voices were not hard to hear,

The woman with burnt yellow curly hair pouted her nose, squinted at this girl who was out of tune with other children, her tone seemed a bit disdainful,
"What is she doing? She keeps doing weird things!"

Beside her is another woman with curly black hair who looks younger. She obviously just arrived and doesn't know much about some cases in the orphanage. Looking at the girl's back, she said in amazement:

"Why is there a child as old as her in our yard?"

The children in this orphanage were all abandoned babies when they were admitted to the hospital. Most of them welcome their own adoptive families around the age of four or five, which is convenient for cultivating the relationship with their adoptive parents. Except for those born with physical disabilities or mental disabilities, few of them are like her. Such an old age is still here.

"Of course it's because no one is willing to choose her!"

The yellow-haired girl folded her arms and said, "Don't look at her harmless appearance, this child is very weird.

She doesn't play with other children, and doesn't talk to the nurses. She has a withdrawn and indifferent personality, and she always likes to use particularly cruel methods to catch small animals.

I remember the last time, a stray cat from nowhere bitten a dead mouse that was half-baked and bloody, and carried it to the corridor.
Many children were frightened and cried when they saw the dead mouse. I saw that she was not afraid at all, but seemed to be particularly interested in these bloody things. "

The yellow-haired girl squinted her eyes again and said:

"Oh yes, you know about that?"

"Ok?"

The other party looked blank, and the woman went on to say:
"It happened last year. That day a man pretending to be an adopter came to our yard. No one knew that this man hid a knife in his briefcase. As soon as he came into contact with the girl who was going to be adopted, he drew out the knife and pointed it at her. His face was slashed, and many of the nurses who went up to pull people were also slashed, and then guess what?"

"That's the boy,"

She raised her chin and pointed at the girl,

"I happened to be there at that time, and I saw with my own eyes that she walked over with a calm face, using herself as a bait to lure the man into the trap she set up earlier,

That pervert stepped on the line, and a big kitchen knife cut across his neck!The blood splattered all over the ground, and the girl looked at it indifferently, her head rolled to her feet without changing her face! "

The woman shook her head and sighed.

"She is so young, she can kill people so calmly, you say such a child, how scary!"

Seeing the shocked and unbelievable expression on the other party's face that she had expected, the woman said again:

"So I said, this child is not a good seed at first glance, and don't you think her eyes look very evil?"

The girl in the corner turned her back to them and was concentrating on teasing the mice in the cage, but she listened to all the conversations between the two,
Adults always underestimate children's minds and ability to plan and practice one thing, thinking that they are simple-minded, just like these mice, who just need a little food and will obediently walk into the cage?
How stupid!

The yellow-haired woman had been talking endlessly between the two of them, and she finally changed a few topics,
The curly-haired girl quietly listened to her gossip, and saw that she took out a jade Buddha statue tied with a red string in her pocket, her tone was somewhat showing off,
"Look at this, the gods and Buddhas I prayed to on the mountain yesterday, said they can keep people safe, look how beautiful it is!"

The woman obviously just wanted her to see it, and when the other party reached out to touch it, she withdrew her arm in disgust, raised her eyebrows and said:

"This Buddha costs tens of thousands of dollars. Outsiders will tarnish the gods if they touch it. Once the Laughing Buddha is angry, it will not work!"
.
Walking on the road passing by the vehicle, the yellow-haired girl groped up and down her body for a while, but found that her precious jade Buddha statue was missing. She couldn't help but think,

I just showed the woman with the dished hair on my front feet, but I couldn't find my back feet. She must have stolen the Jade Buddha because of her greed!
After holding back her anger and swearing, she just turned around and planned to go back to find that shameless woman with curly hair to argue with, but saw a figure standing at the intersection,
Taking a closer look, I realized that the other party was the girl they were talking about just now.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and frowned in surprise, but the next second she saw the other person's flattened palm, in which was the Buddha statue she had lost.

She saw the girl wrap one end of the red string around her index finger, and dangle the jade stone hanging from the other end, as if showing off to her majesticly.

She was surprised that the smile of the Buddha statue and the girl's smile seemed to overlap, it looked extremely weird!
"……you!"

The woman stood there in shock, and was about to lift her foot when she heard a sharp scream in her ears. She turned her head in horror, and saw a speeding heavy truck whizzing towards her.

The whole person was knocked a few meters away, and she had no time to struggle. She watched the huge monster in front of her ruthlessly crush her body, and heard the "creaking" sound of bones being crushed inch by inch.

The truck did not intend to stop at all, and the spinning wheels then ran over the round head, splashing scarlet blood all over the ground...
.
As if having a nightmare, Xue Ran woke up from a coma, gasping violently, and it took him a long time to calm down.

She looked down at the infusion tube inserted into the back of her hand, and then heard the voice of a man beside her,

"Xiao Xue, you are awake!"

Xue Ran then raised his eyes and saw Xia Mingsheng and Ding Baiyi standing beside the bed, watching her worriedly, and then realized that Jiang Xun was there, and couldn't help frowning.

After the coma, Xue Ran didn't know what happened afterwards. Xue Ran guessed that it was Xia Mingsheng who called for reinforcements and rescued them from the factory.

No, because of Jiang Xun's relationship with those people, he probably didn't want to be rescued at all.

"Xiao Xue, take care of your wounds,"

She was still thinking, when suddenly she heard Ding Baiyi say in a concerned tone:
"I'll help you with your job, so don't go back to work at the Special Bureau for the next few days."

Xue Ran nodded with a slight smile, but he couldn't help thinking, how could she go back to a place like the Special Investigation Bureau after these things happened?

After finally climbing out of the pit, she had no reason to jump down again.

Xia Mingsheng said: "Don't worry, the doctor said that your injury is not serious. You are young and your body has a strong ability to repair. It won't be long before you recover."

As he said that, he lowered his eyes and looked at his watch, and said in a hurry:
"Hey, it's getting late, I have to go back to the special investigation bureau with Xiaoding, we'll come see you another day!"

"Ah."

"That little Xue," he waved at Xue Ran, then turned to look at Jiang Xun who was beside him,

"Goodbye, Inspector!"

The two left the ward in a hurry, the door was closed with a "bang", only Xue Ran and Jiang Xun were left in the room,

The air suddenly became extremely quiet.

In the suffocating silence, Jiang Xun couldn't help but glanced at the side of the other party's face, and saw her staring straight ahead indifferently, without any intention of turning her head to look at herself.

He moved his Adam's apple, faced the person in front of him but didn't know how to open his mouth, stunned for a few minutes in embarrassment, or finally Xue Ran couldn't bear it anymore and said first:

"Don't worry, I won't disclose your affairs. Besides, who are you and what is my identity? No one will believe you if you report it."

Xue Ran stared at the quilt in front of him, his temper restrained voice was full of helplessness,
"However, if you still feel unsafe, I have nothing to say if you want to kill me."

"Xue Ran,"

Jiang Xun said: "Things are not what you think they are. It is not my wish that these things happen. My mother and I have not had any contact in the past ten years. This is the first time I have seen her again after many years."

Xue Ran obviously didn't bother to think about what he said, she lay her head on the pillow,
"Whatever you say."

She just doesn't want to get involved in those dangerous and complicated things, just live like a salted fish, but fate just makes her encounter all kinds of troubles, especially Jiang Xun in front of her,
"Inspector Jiang,"

Xue Ran said: "I swear, I will never step into the Special Investigation Bureau again, and I will not reveal anything about you.
Or if I move away from this city, far away from you, you don't send people to hunt me down, and I don't reveal your secrets, is that okay? "

After a while of silence, Jiang Xun said, "Let's talk about it after you recover from your injury."

"why……"

Xue Ran clenched his fists tightly, and the wound on his chest began to hurt again. He didn't bother to talk to Jiang Xun now, so he closed his eyes a little annoyed, and turned his back to him.

"Heal your wounds well, follow the doctor's advice, and be able to leave the hospital earlier."

"It doesn't cost you money to be hospitalized!"

Xue Ran was suddenly a little irritable. She clenched her fists under the sheet, trying to suppress her anger, "I have a headache, and I don't want to listen to people talking."

"Then just calm down by yourself."

"Then you should go out!"

Hearing her impatient tone, Jiang Xun was unexpectedly good-tempered. He lowered his eyelashes, then walked obediently towards the door,
Hearing the door being gently closed with a "click", Xue Ran slowly opened his eyes, with a mocking look in his eyes,

She knew that the reason why the other party followed her was because she knew his secret,

But now she really doesn't have the heart to think about Jiang Xun, being distracted by another annoying matter,
This encounter really brought her a painful blow, not only physically, but also mentally!
And all of this is because of that person, Jiang Xun's mother, that woman named An Yu,
She really listened to what the woman said, so much so that she now feels at a loss like never before,
Are the lies I saw real, or, as the woman said, just her imagination?
Although the possibility that the other party was brainwashing her could not be ruled out, Xue Ran couldn't help having some self-doubt.
Abnormal, could it be herself?
