Officer Xiang and Mumu

During the day, I pulled Ling Yunmu out of the swimming pool to see if he could swim.It would be a great honor to be able to think of something while swimming.How can a happy childhood be without swimming?Although my move has another explanation from Ling Yunmu, but that's not the point.

The point is, Ling Yunmu returned to normal state, and provided us with a very important clue.

Later, I realized how important this clue is, and I vaguely saw the shadow of the murderer!

Under my guidance, Zhao Shuzhen began to talk about the nightmare that had plagued her for half her life.

"My grandson, Xiaoyue, is a very obedient child. He is well behaved, never mischievous, and never going out with others. He is very good at housework, among all the children in the orphanage, he is the best at housework !"

Grandma Zhao Shuzhen spoke highly of her grandson, and she never forgot him so much, but it was a pity that she still lived alone in the old house.

"That was more than ten years ago, when he was still so young." She stretched out her hand to show the height of the five or six-year-old child, with a joyful smile on her face, as if seeing the joy of her grandson running up and down the hillside scene.

At that time, the village was called "Rizhao Village", and it was still undeveloped and primitive.The villagers live in bungalows or low rough buildings, surrounded by a mountain, blocking the road to the outside world.Young people have gone out to work in the city, and the villages are full of lonely old people and left-behind children.

Zhao Yuehua's orphanage is in the innermost part of the village, very remote.Some left-behind children with both parents will also be sent to the orphanage, where they will be watched by the Zhao family and grow up with the children.

Zhao Shuzhen's wife passed away a long time ago, she lives alone in the village, and her grandson Xiaoyue comes home from the orphanage occasionally.It's only a few hundred meters away, so she often goes to the orphanage to see her grandson.

She cares about everything, so I couldn't help but want to interrupt and ask some other questions: "Grandma, you remember Xiaomu so much, do you remember which child he has the best relationship with? Or who is particularly friendly to Xiaomu?"

She replied without thinking: "Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue and Xiaomu are the best."

"Oh, that's it. Anyone else?"

She tilted her head and thought hard, and couldn't say any other names, so I had to guide her to continue talking about the murder of her grandson.

"That night, the moon was more than half round, and it was hazy. Walking on the road, you could even see the grass clearly." Zhao Shuzhen said that she woke up suddenly when she slept until midnight, and looked out the window thinking it was dawn. , just opened the door and walked out.Today I'm going to the orphanage to bring my little grandson home and cook him a delicious meal.

When she went outside, she realized that it was the light of the moon, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, so she walked slowly towards the direction of the orphanage.

I don't know if it's because her memory is too good or her imagination is too strong. In short, she even described in detail what she saw on the ground when she was walking.She felt that the air was good at night, so she rested on the side of the road for a while, and told us ghost stories that were passed down in the village.

In her narration, there are many bamboos around that road.Walking through the bamboo forest alone in the dark night, we feel intimidated just thinking about it, but she is not afraid at all, did she really sleepwalk there?

"Behind the orphanage is also a bamboo forest. The children in the courtyard often cut bamboo there, and then cut it into bamboo strips to weave into bamboo baskets. They can be sold for some money. Those children are hard-working children. No father or mother, no enough food and clothing, no money for selling bamboo baskets!"

I couldn't help sitting up straight, "Grandma, who took that money?"

She ignored me, and said to herself: "Not only is it chopping bamboo to weave bamboo baskets, but also moving bricks to a brick factory a few kilometers away. At the age of four, I will start to learn how to move bricks. Such a small child, the hands are grinding I got blisters, and I will be beaten if I cry in pain." She took Ling Yunmu's hand and spread his palm, tears filled her eyes, "Look, there are so many blisters! Orphans have to work, everything! Picking up rubbish, chopping firewood, farming, as long as you have a little strength, you have to go out to earn money! The money you earn is all used by the black-hearted dean to eat and drink! The children have no shoes to wear all year round, and they cannot eat meat. , was beaten and starved to death pitifully, woo woo..."

I clenched my fists, wanting to beat up that man, Hao Aiguo squeezed my shoulder.

Ling Yunmu curled up on the sofa and fell asleep, I only hated myself for not being able to do anything for him.

Zhao Shuzhen's words are still undistinguishable, but I have already been brought by her to that gloomy orphanage era.A lazy middle-aged man drives a group of orphans to work for him, earn money for him, and bring him many social donations... This calculation is really resounding.

As Zhao Shuzhen talked, she seemed to have forgotten the subject, but I didn't stop her, and said whatever she thought of.Fortunately, she is a person who is good at expressing words. I think there is another reason because no one listens to her nagging on weekdays, so she talks a lot tonight.

She said that everything in the orphanage was fine before that black-hearted man snatched it away.

Before Zhaoliang came back, Zhao Yuehua was able to support herself with a few orphans and left-behind children in the village.Zhao Shuzhen believes that at that time, the children lived better, at least they had enough to eat and wear.Zhao Yuehua is a good person. She has no children. Whenever someone leaves a child at her door, she will take it back and raise it with a mouthful of rice soup. She is a simple and kind woman.

I figured it out, Zhaoliang probably returned to Rizhao Village when Lingyunmu was five years old.As soon as he came back, he opened an orphanage with his wife Zhao Yuehua.People who have gone out to see the world must have some ideals and minds. He wants to make the orphanage stronger and bigger, which is understandable for a man.However, it is really disgusting to use the method of squeezing children to become stronger and bigger!

Zhao Shuzhen's logic is very clear, her narration is organized, compassionate and just.If I hadn't read the information on Hao Aiguo's phone, I might have accepted everything she said.

"I have never left Rizhao Village in my life. Even when the orphanage caught fire, I watched it with my own eyes. The fire burned well! How can such a person be the director of the orphanage!" Her voice became louder and louder. , the anger gushed out, and the emotion rose very abruptly.

I hurriedly asked her, "Grandma, what else did Zhaoliang do?"

"What did he do?" She opened her eyes and stared straight ahead, as if standing there was a sinner who should be cut to pieces, tears welling from her eyes, "He...he... woo...why? There are such shameless people!"
