Hunt down

Searched inside and outside the orphanage, but found no roster. The "VIP room" Jiang Jiale mentioned was just an ordinary reception room with slightly better decoration, and there was nothing else in it except sofas and conference tables.

Zhou Jiming was listening to the police report on the situation. A little girl holding a doll was about a head higher than Zhou Jiming's knee. She was wearing a pink floral dress and tugged at the hem of Zhou Jiming's pants.

Zhou Jiming looked down at her, then turned around and explained a few words to the police officer, and the police officer left.He turned his head to look at the little girl, squatted down, his left knee slightly touched the ground, and asked with a smile without any hostility in his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Uncle policeman, why were the dean and the others arrested? Are they bad people?"

The girl hugged the doll tightly when she was talking. The doll was already in tatters, its clothes were torn to pieces, its face was painted in various colors, and its hair was ripped out of shape.

"They are people who are going to atone for their sins." Zhou Jiming straightened the somewhat messy hair on the side of his daughter's face.

"Atonement? What is 'Atonement'?"

"That is, they did something wrong, they need to bear the guilt, and they need to be responsible for what they have done."

"Wrong thing" the girl blinked, "Do adults make mistakes too?"

"Of course, as long as you are human, you will make mistakes." When Zhou Jiming moved the girl's sideburn hair behind her ear, he found a small black spot on her tragus. He inadvertently pointed with his thumb. I touched my stomach.

The girl shrank her shoulders, lowered her head in fear, and whispered something.

Zhou Jiming withdrew his hand, and then simply sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the little girl, with a coquettish tone, "I couldn't hear your voice just now, can you say it again?"

The girl was playing with the doll's clothes in her hands, and she seemed to be talking to the doll, "I'm very obedient, the dean said, as long as you are obedient, you won't feel pain, as long as you don't feel pain, you can sleep well. "

Zhou Jiming frowned slightly, "Have your ears ever hurt?"

The girl grabbed the doll's clothes and nodded slightly.

"What did they do to your sore ear?" Zhou Jiming was very patient and his tone was soft.

"They stab it with a small, iron thing."

"Who? Dean? Ear piercing?"

"Not only the dean, but also people I don't know, they, they... yes, pricking my ears, once and again, I will pass out from the pain."

"Small, iron, what is it?"

The little girl shook her head, "It looks like a needle, but it doesn't look like it. It's a bit thicker than a needle, and it's still connected with a long thread..."

When Zhou Jiming touched the black spot, he could clearly feel that it wasn't a scab, it was more like a burn mark, and there was less obvious redness and swelling.

If it was fire, the little girl would definitely recognize it, but what she kept saying repeatedly was a black needle-like thing with a long thread attached to it.

They used electricity.

Zhou Jiming suppressed the anger in his heart, he leaned over and picked up the little girl, put her on his arms, and brought her to Fu Li.

Fu Li is also very busy now, she doesn't know where to settle so many children, it's not dozens of children, but thousands, it's really hard to think of a good place for a while.

Zhou Jiming put the little girl down, stood up and looked around, only to find that someone was missing.

"Chen Yu."

Zhou Jiming called Chen Yu, who stood aside to greet a group of children, to come over.

"Deputy team."

"Did you see Mr. Song?"

Chen Yu flipped through the book subconsciously, and only after turning two pages did he realize what Zhou Jiming was asking, and hurriedly responded, "Boss Song, I saw that he went outside not long ago, but he never came in."

"Going out?" Zhou Jiming wondered.

"Ah."

"Are you with anyone?"

"No."

Zhou Jiming had a bad idea, he was still injured, if he went out right now and ran into someone, he was afraid it might be dangerous, so he went out without thinking much, and just took two steps, when he heard a lot of people who were not small The sound of a car coming from not far away.

The noisy reporters outside the orphanage also fell silent. Looking into the distance, Zhou Jiming also hurried out to see if there was another disturbance.

The entrance to the orphanage is a very open road. Although it is only big enough for one car, it is absolutely flat, and you can see what kind of car is driving at a glance.

It was a long-distance bus, with two upper and lower floors. From a distance, through the forest, I could see that the entire entrance was already crowded with buses, and they drove in one after another in an orderly manner.

Everyone's focus naturally shifted from the sudden bus to a black off-road vehicle leading the way in front of the bus.

Zhou Jiming: ... When did he take away my car keys again...

The black off-road vehicle drove slowly and stopped outside the wall of the orphanage. A clean-dressed gentleman got out of the car. After getting off the car, he immediately turned around and made a "stop" gesture to the first bus, and then Close the car door and enter the orphanage.

The reporters swarmed up to ask about it. Song Nai has always only been unmannered in front of Zhou Jiming, and he has always been modest and polite when dealing with people who are difficult to touch his emotional minefield, with a smile.

Song Nai said with a smile on his face, these are all giving back to the general public, so it should be regarded as doing good deeds, and it can also be regarded as cooperation between the police and the people, and he is only helping the police.

People have always been more tolerant and kind to people with good skin. Song Nai said a few words with a smile, and the male and female reporters were not forced to ask any more questions. Ask Song Nai, they filmed all this quietly, maybe it will be more interesting to make a documentary later.

Zhou Jiming propped his chin and stared meaningfully at Song Nai who was walking towards him.

Song Nai put the car keys into Zhou Jiming's trouser pocket as if nothing happened, "60 people in each car, 30 cars in total," Song Nai raised his head to meet Zhou Jiming's half-squinted eyes, "Please police officer Zhou to make arrangements."

"When was it arranged?"

"Early morning."

"Then where will these children be taken? You also arranged in advance?"

Song Nai imitated Zhou Jiming's half-closed eyes, and said strangely, "Guess."

---

Zhou Jiming asked Fu Li and Chen Yu to follow the car, and then sent three police officers to drive behind the convoy in case the bus was lost. Song Nai sat on the first bus and instructed the driver the route.

The rest of the police officers and Zhou Jiming stayed behind to search the mountain, and found no useful evidence in the orphanage, but this can also be expected in advance, people who can do this kind of business in this place are afraid that they have no skills.

The reporters retreated one after another after the children got into the car, and the orphanage was sealed off.

When the last police car drove past its gate and headed for the other side of the mountain, the dust raised by the wind broke into the empty orphanage. He was as dead and silent as Zhou Jiming and Song Nai when they first arrived. Little life.

Li Fei brought people over later, they needed to conduct an on-site blood survey of the entire orphanage.

Before Zhou Jiming went, a group of people had already searched here for a while, and found nothing special. In addition to the place searched before, there is still a mountain top that has not been searched. The slope is steeper, there are no plants, and the soil has not been turned. Zhou Jiming took a group of people to the top of the mountain.

The search of such a large area in the mountains relies on the police dogs' keen sense of smell. The four accompanying police dogs began to bark as soon as they reached the top of the mountain, and rushed forward with their heads muffled. The police officers couldn't stop them.

But the police dogs didn't stay on the hill for long. The place where they rushed over was the bottom of the hill, the back of the hill!

Zhou Jiming walked quickly to the top of the mountain and looked down. There were forests on the north side of the mountain, and the forest beyond the edge...

If those people randomly placed the corpses in this forest, the search scope and difficulty would increase linearly, and the time of this case would be infinitely long, Zhou Jiming felt the pressure.

"Deputy team, there seems to be a house over there!"

A little police officer pointed to the mountain that was blocked by dense branches and leaves and said in surprise.

The police dog also barked its teeth in that direction and kept barking in that direction. It took a lot of effort to keep the policeman from being dragged down the mountain by pulling on the rope.I don't know what they smelled. It is very rare for a police dog to be out of control. Obviously, the house covered by the woods at the foot of the mountain is not unusual.

"Go down and have a look."

As Zhou Jiming said, he walked down the mountain with his waist down. He gestured to the people behind him, telling everyone to disperse and not to get too close.

The police dogs were instructed to act and rushed down the mountain quickly. Their keen sense of smell and hearing and years of training kept driving these little guys to go to places with unknown risks without flinching.

The slope on the back is relatively gentle, and the speed of going down is also very fast. It didn't take long to reach the bottom of the mountain. They stopped at the foot of the mountain and did not continue to move forward. First, they hid in the forest and peeped at the house.

From the appearance, the houses should be made of wood. At first glance, they thought they were the residences of ordinary hunters, but the problem was that this forest was also man-made, and there was absolutely no place worth hunting.

The surroundings are very quiet, except for the occasional "rustling" sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and the chirping of birds and insects, there are no other sounds.

Zhou Jiming squatted behind the tree trunk at the front. He turned his head and nodded to everyone, raised his hand and pointed in four directions, signaling for everyone to surround the house and surround it from all sides.

The police officers understood, walked through the woods to where they should be, and began to slowly move towards the wooden house.

The door of the wooden house is closed and locked. Judging from the fact that there are not many fallen leaves at the door, people still live in this house recently.

Zhou Jiming held the gun in his hand and pointed at the door, beckoning to a little police officer, who held the gun tightly in both hands, he walked lightly and quickly, moved to the door, leaned his back against the wall, raised the gun to his ear, and tilted his ear Listening to the voice in the room, "Is there anyone in the room!"

No one answered.

The little policeman looked at Zhou Jiming, Zhou Jiming nodded, the little policeman left the wall, stepped to the door, raised his leg and kicked hard at the wooden door.

The door did not open from the middle, but the hinges connecting the door frame on both sides were kicked loose, and the lock seemed to be a new one, so it was not easy to kick it open.The little policeman leaned over, and kicked his feet towards the slightly loose hinge on the right side. The hinge fell to the ground with a bang, and the whole wooden door tilted downward in response to the sound. The little policeman quickly entered the room through the gap , leaning against the door and inspecting the house for a while, and even helped the door that was about to fall, avoiding a loud noise.

The furnishings in the wooden house are simple. There is a wooden square table in the middle. There are three bowls of water on the table, one is empty, and the other two have some left in it.There is a bench on each side of the square table, and a bed measuring two meters long and 1.8 meters wide on the west side. The thin quilt and pillows on the bed are a bit messy.

Zhou Jiming walked to the bed, he lifted the thin quilt, and reached out to check the temperature of the mat under the thin quilt.

It's warm!Someone left not long ago!

Just as Zhou Jiming was about to speak, he heard a dog barking from behind the wooden house, and then the policeman with the police dog hurried over, "Deputy team! A suspicious person is found fleeing in the woods behind!"

"Chase!"

"Yes!"
