Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god

After Chu Yao and Pei Nian returned home, Pei Nian moved down a dozen solid-state drives from upstairs, each with a capacity of 2 TB, adding up to at least TB.

Chu Yao looked at the pile of hard drives suspiciously, "Are you sure that just the two of us can read through so many hard drives?"

It stores the PDF versions of all newspapers in a certain place for eight years. There are several copies a day, and nearly ten thousand copies in eight years.

"Actually, you don't need to read them all. I asked my friend and he said that his family only subscribed to one kind of newspaper." Pei Nian took out three solid-state drives numbered 06-08, "And, since he was seven or eight years old, When I was a picky eater, the nursery rhymes my parents made up should have been the news in those years.”

If the news was from three or four years ago, his parents would not even remember it.

"Then why did you download all the local newspapers?" Chu Yao suddenly asked.

Pei Nian was silent for a moment and said: "Uh...I admit, I may have had some mental buffs that kept me up all night..."

Although there are more than a thousand copies of newspapers that are only three years old, they are much easier to find than before.

Since the memory consumption of the solid state drive has reached more than 90%, using keyword search will not work. The computer will freeze as soon as the search bar is opened.

Two people each took a year's worth of solid-state drives and looked through them one by one.

It has to be said that the place where Pei Nian’s friends live is indeed a place where the folk customs are strong, and all kinds of weird news emerge one after another. For example, a man kidnapped thirty-six innocent citizens in a row just to let them play dice games with him...

Pei Nian would be distracted from time to time and forget the important things he had to do.

The two of them had a laptop each and watched until after four in the morning.

"I've finished reading these two sets. No." Chu Yao walked up behind Pei Nian and said, "How many times have you read that one?"

"Hmm... I think I'm almost finished reading it." Pei Nian quickly flipped through the remaining newspapers, "I didn't see any news related to flies..."

Chu Yao suddenly thought that his parents made up nursery rhymes to stop him from wasting food.

"Do you have any news related to wasted food?" Chu Yao asked. She had not read any of it herself.

Pei Nian recalled, "There is no one who wastes food, but there is one who is malnourished."

It was a piece of news published on July 7. It only occupied a small space in the newspaper, about 25 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, and the words were very concise.

"Obituary. At 17 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Meyer Valentine, the daughter of the Van Lunding family, died at home due to malnutrition and heatstroke. She was years old."

This news gives too little information, and the 17-year-old girl named Meyer Valentine cannot be found on the Internet at all. Her adoptive parents are often mentioned in local forums.

The Valentine couple are among the most well-known figures in the small village. They have high-paying, decent jobs. The husband is an engineer and travels all year round, while the wife is a church choir teacher.

The locals think highly of them because the couple are very devout believers and often provide help to their neighbors.

Once the village encounters trouble, they will also take the lead in making donations to help the villagers tide over the difficulties.

Pei Nian quickly discovered the problem, "That's not right. They are both rich and kind. How could their child die of malnutrition?"

"Perhaps only those close to her know the inside story." Chu Yao pointed to Meyer's obituary.

"I'll ask my friend again. You can check the couple's information first." Pei Nian said while going to the terrace to make a phone call.

Chu Yao stared at the computer screen in front of him and read every reply carefully, fearing that he would miss some important information.

Before Meyer passed away, the Valentines registered a social account and often shared some of their family's daily life.

The account's speech obviously had a different tone, indicating that this account is likely to be a family sharing account.

In addition to Meyer, the Valentines also have a pair of daughters. The second daughter is eight months younger than Meyer, and the younger son is a little younger. He is less than five years old in the photo.

A happy family celebrates every holiday, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. They enjoy the joy brought by the holidays and hold colorful family activities.

But without exception, the eldest daughter Meyer is not included in the photos.

The account was last updated seven years after Meyer's death, and the content was a deep condolence for the tragic death of the Valentines.

The two were involved in a car accident while on vacation. The wife died on the spot, and the husband was sent to the hospital for treatment for three months, and finally passed away due to infection.

The day of the car accident happened to be July 7th.

After ending the call, Pei Nian sat back on the sofa and said, "There's good news. My friend's sister and Meyer Valentine go to the same girls' school."

When he called, his friend's sister was also at home, so the friend gave the phone directly to her sister.

His sister didn't know much about Meyer, though.

According to her description, Meyer is a very introverted and even a bit strange person.

She never communicated with her classmates, kept to herself, and her grades were a mess. She couldn't even complete the simplest manual homework.

Whenever the teacher asked her to answer a question, she would stand silently until the teacher said "please sit down."

The teachers at the school had repeatedly asked the Valentines to send Meyer to the hospital because Meyer's performance was far below the level expected of a child of her age.

In other words, teachers suspected that Meyer was born with mental retardation or severe autism.

If that were the case, Meyer should not have continued in a regular school but gone to a special education college.

However, the Fan Lunding couple disagreed with the teacher's statement and sued the girls' school on the grounds that the teacher discriminated against students.

My friend's sister was very impressed by this incident, because according to local law, if the school receives a complaint from a parent, it will temporarily suspend the school.

And that year, they took two months of extra vacation.

Meyer dropped out of school and was never seen again.

"She heard that we were investigating the cause of Meyer's death, and gave me a local police station public website. Maybe we can find some information related to Meyer," Pei Nian said.

He typed the address directly into his computer and searched for Meyer Valentin.

As a result, a related page really popped up.

Although the photo was not clear and mosaic due to its age, Pei Nian and Chu Yao could still get a general idea.

The room was very small, barely able to accommodate a single bed. The floor was covered with garbage, paper towels and empty mineral water bottles. There were at least thousands of flies flying everywhere.

The girl lying on the bed looked thin at first glance, but she soon discovered that the parts that looked like flesh were actually clumps of maggots.

She died in the hot summer. The ulcerated skin on her back was almost stuck to the sheets, mixed with traces of various dirt.

One of the girl's arms rested on the edge of the bed. On the floor in that direction were a small bottle of turbid water and a small half bag of cheap cereal.

The police also specially marked a line of text next to the cereal, "Two years expired."
