Scarlet Spirit Eye

Lullaby 24

Eight years ago, on a cool night, the moon was round and bright, and the stars were shining, but the sky was drizzling. 12-year-old Yu Yiran couldn't sleep because of the snoring in the house, so she ran out of the room and came to the empty yard alone.

Yu Yiran sat on the seesaw and looked at the sky, the smell of green grass soaked in rain came from his breath.Every night, she would think of such a quiet and dark night when she was abandoned by her parents a few years ago.

On a quiet night, the sound is infinitely amplified, and even a little wind and grass can be heard clearly.Yu Yiran heard a movement behind her, like a baby crying.She followed the sound and came to a door, which was the room of the dean and the dean's wife.

The cry sounded like a newborn baby.As far as Yu Yiran knew, there were no such young children in the orphanage, and they were probably innocent lives that were cruelly abandoned by their parents.

The baby's voice became smaller and smaller, Yu Yiran thought it was the baby falling asleep.As soon as she turned to leave, she heard voices coming from inside.

"Let go, I'm out of breath." The person who spoke was a man, probably the dean.

The child died?Yu Yiran wondered why he stopped breathing after a while even though he was crying very forcefully just now.

A female voice then sounded, "Son, don't blame me, I'm doing it for your own good. You shouldn't have come here, this is the beginning of hell. Leave this world as soon as possible, and join a good family in your next life."

Yu Yiran stood there in shock, unable to accept this fact for a moment.

Why?She doesn't understand.Why did my beloved mother You want to kill this child?In the end what happened?

Footsteps sounded in the house, and the sound was getting closer and closer to the door, Yu Yiran found a corner to hide.A few minutes later, Nie Wei opened the door and walked out with a shovel in his hand.You Xiufen followed behind, holding a child in her arms.

Yu Yiran was suspicious, and after the two walked away, she quietly followed.She was short, dark and thin, and was just blocked by weeds while hiding in the grass.

She saw Nie Wei and You Xiufen standing under the plum tree.Nie Wei bent down and dug the soil with a shovel. After digging for a long time, You Xiufen knelt down and put the baby in her arms. Then the two of them worked together to cover the soil and leveled the ground with the shovel to restore the ground to its original state.

You Xiufen raised her hand to touch the plum tree, and said a few words.Yu Yiran is far away, neither can see the expression clearly nor hear the voice, don't know what You Xiufen said specifically, only can see You Xiufen's last arm is very weak.

After a while, Nie Wei helped You Xiufen back to the room.Yu Yiran came out from the grass, picked a small flower behind her, walked to the plum tree, and slowly squatted down.

She put the flowers on the soil, touched the wet land with her hands, and comforted the souls of the dead under the tree, tears streaming down her face, "I don't know who you are, where you come from, let alone Knowing how many times you are, I only wish you happiness in the next life."

Yu Yiran looked around the yard and suddenly felt that everything was strange.She has been different from ordinary people since she was a child. She can see things that others cannot see and hear voices that others cannot hear.When she first came to the orphanage, she could occasionally feel some lonely souls wandering around, but she didn't think too much about it, and she didn't investigate the source carefully.

Now it seems that these lonely souls are man-made.Yu Yiran was terrified, the angel he thought was a life-threatening demon, would he die in the hands of the two of them one day.

It was getting late, Yu Yiran got up and decided to leave, just took two steps, when she kicked something with her toe, she looked down, there was something reflecting light.She picked it up from the ground and found that it was a silver bracelet, very small and thin, only babies should be able to wear it.

Yu Yiran couldn't help suspecting that it belonged to the child just now, she picked up the bracelet in doubt and put it away carefully.She didn't know why she put it away instead of burying it, maybe it was her subconscious that made the decision for her.Maybe one day this bracelet can become a tool for her self-protection, but she hopes never to have such a day.

In the days that followed, Yu Yiran seemed to be a different person, being careful in everything so as not to cause trouble.Later, perhaps because she was cautious about Thai cooking, she discovered some other secrets in the orphanage.It turned out that the orphanage she lived in was not as bright and righteous as it appeared on the surface, but a valley of food and people unknown to the world.It wasn't until she was adopted and left the orphanage that she felt alive.

Eight years later, Yu Yiran gradually closed his memory, thinking that he had walked out of the nightmare.However, the appearance of Jiang Siyan turned her beautiful imagination into a phantom, and her safety and well-being these years was nothing but her self-deception.Where she couldn't see or hear, the hurt was still there, and the death never stopped.

Just at the moment when Jiang Siyan thought he was infinitely close to the truth, You Xiufen's name was like a heavy weapon with extremely destructive power, instantly destroying most of his previous inferences.Everything had to go back to the original point, and Jiang Siyan needed to rethink the cause of the case.

"Why did You Xiufen kill these children?" Jiang Siyan couldn't think of a reasonable reason.

"I don't know the specific reason." Yu Yiran shook her head, "I just remember she said it was for the good of these children."

What does it mean to kill the other party for the good of the other party? Jiang Siyan couldn't figure out the meaning of this sentence.Could it be that these children could be worse alive?

Yu Yiran saw that it was getting late, and felt that it was time to leave, "That's all I know, and I can't do anything else. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Siyan asked again unwillingly: "I hope you can stand up as a whistleblower, so that the police can have a reason to search the orphanage, and these dead children will not die in vain. Since you can feel their existence , you should know that they have been trapped in the orphanage for so many years because they were killed and their souls have no return. Do you really have the heart?"

Yu Yiran was speechless, she wanted to say but dared not.Two voices mingled in her head, one convincing her, the other stopping her.

Jiang Siyan: "You can say whatever you are worried about, and we will definitely solve it for you."

Yu Yiran worried too much, who is behind the orphanage and what kind of terrorist power they will have, these are still unknown.The current stable life is something she has finally obtained, and she does not want to lose it.Once she becomes a whistleblower, everything she owns may disappear, and even her adoptive parents may be involved.

In the end, Yu Yiran still shook her head and said, "I'm sorry."

An apology shattered Jiang Siyan's expectations again.It's useless to force people to make things difficult. If you don't really want to, then it's only a matter of time before you go back.

Jiang Siyan borrowed a pen from the waiter, took out a napkin, wrote down his contact information, and handed it to Yu Yiran: "If you change your mind, please contact me anytime."

Yu Yiran looked at a line of small characters, and read out: "Jiang Siyan, Special Case Investigation Team of Haicheng Public Security Bureau."

Jiang Siyan nodded: "It's me, I look forward to receiving your call one day."

Yu Yiran put away the napkin, got up, bowed slightly to Jiang Siyan, and left the coffee shop.Jiang Siyan sat where he was, and didn't pay the bill until he drank all the drinks in his cup and left.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Siyan called Han Wei.

Han Wei waited in the office for a call from Jiang Siyan all afternoon.When the phone suddenly vibrated and slid on the desktop, and saw that the caller displayed on the screen was Jiang Siyan, he was extremely excited.

"Hey, it's over?"

"Ah."

"How about it?"

"Mixed. Most of our guesses have been confirmed, but some are off."

"for example?"

"The person who killed the child was not Nie Wei."

"Who is that?"

"You Xiufen."

Han Wei was also shocked by the answer, "How could it be her? Do you know the reason?"

Jiang Siyan: "I don't know."

Han Wei: "Then?"

Jiang Siyan didn't wait for Han Wei to finish asking, and already guessed what the other party wanted to ask, "No, she doesn't want to be a whistleblower."

Han Wei: "Is she worried?"

Jiang Siyan: "Well, I have too many worries. I probably know what she is thinking, and it is not easy to compare her life with my heart, so I don't want to force her. However, I gave her my contact information and kept the last ray of hope."

Han Wei: "Well done, then do you plan to stay another day or come back?"

Jiang Siyan: "Let's wait another day! Since I'm here, I want to go around and wait a little longer."

Han Wei: "Okay, then I'll ask Yuan Zhe to book you a plane ticket back the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Siyan: "Okay."

The next day, Jiang Siyan started a one-day tour of Tart City, walked around the city center, and checked his phone from time to time, for fear of missing Yu Yiran's call.After a whole day, Jiang Siyan visited various small shops in Tar City, bought a bunch of local specialties, and gained a lot, but he didn't get what he wanted most.

Until boarding the plane, Jiang Siyan was looking forward to the phone ringing, but in the end he couldn't wait.As the plane took off, Jiang Siyan's disappointment was palpable, in stark contrast to the hopeful arrival.

During the more than six-hour journey, most of the people on the plane chose to close their eyes and rest, but Jiang Siyan didn't feel sleepy at all, and stayed awake the whole time.Time seemed to slow down, and every minute and every second was tormented.

Finally, the broadcast on the plane informed the passengers that they were about to arrive at Haicheng Airport.It was already dark outside the window.Jiang Siyan looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.After getting off the plane, Jiang Siyan pushed his luggage out of the airport and was about to take a taxi home when he suddenly saw a familiar face not far ahead.

Han Weiyi drove to the airport after get off work and waited for Jiang Siyan in the arrival hall.He is tall and looks far, so he saw Jiang Siyan at a glance, and waved to him: "This."

Jiang Siyan dragged his luggage and walked to Han Wei: "Why are you here?"

Han Wei took the suitcase from Jiang Siyan's hand, "I just came over after get off work. Let's go."

Jiang Siyan: "Well, slow down, the kid is sitting on the box."

Han Wei looked down at the box, not knowing whether to pull it or not, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Should I return him to you?"

Jiang Siyan shook his head: "No, you come, I'm tired."

Han Wei smiled helplessly: "Let's go."

The two got into the car, and Han Wei drove Jiang Siyan out of the airport and onto the expressway.

"It's been a hard two days." Han Wei rarely said a polite word, and it could be regarded as looking for something to say.

"Fortunately, I'm not very tired, but it's impossible not to get lost."

"What are you going to do next?"

"I thought about this question all the way on the plane. I thought about whether to go straight to the point with Nie Wei and You Xiufen, but I was afraid that I might lose the bigger picture. So I finally decided to leave it like this. Before I have any further clues, I plan to temporarily Stand still, but be prepared with both hands. In case Yu Yiran figured it out one day, I can quickly reopen the case."

Han Wei nodded, although he was not reconciled, but judging from the current situation, this is a relatively safe approach, "Go back today and have a good rest, and tomorrow we will go back to the police station to make a summary."

Jiang Siyan: "Okay."

I don't know if it was because he returned to Haicheng and Han Wei's side, Jiang Siyan's lost drowsiness came back automatically, and not long after getting in the car, he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, it was already daytime.He recognized the furnishings of the room as Han Wei's home, or Han Wei's master bedroom.He looked around the room, but there was no sign of Han Wei.

Jiang Siyan didn't know how he came back and how he slept on Han Wei's bed. He only saw the kid on the bed smiling silly at him, and even pounced on him to kiss his lips. After finishing the matter, he muttered: "Good night (wannan)."

Jiang Siyan heard that the little ghost said "good night", and said with a smile, "good morning, little ghost."

The kid raised his hand and put it to his mouth, "Shh—"

Jiang Siyan smiled and rubbed the kid's head, "You ghost."

Putting on clean clothes, Jiang Siyan came out of the bedroom and walked to the living room.There is breakfast and post-it notes on the dining table.

Jiang Siyan took off the post-it note from the cup, and when he saw Han Wei's message, he smiled slightly.

The note said: [Did you sleep well?Remember to eat breakfast, and then take a taxi to work, the fare will be reimbursed. - Han Wei]

A quarter after ten o'clock, Jiang Siyan arrived at the police station.

Yuan Zhe greeted warmly: "Long time no see, Brother Yan."

Jiang Siyan: "It's only been three days."

Yuan Zhe: "One day is like three autumns, and three days is like a year."

Jiang Siyan: "I seriously doubt that your math was taught by your Chinese teacher."

Yuan Zhe: "Hey."

Returning to his seat, Jiang Siyan reached out and knocked on Han Wei's table, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your breakfast."

Han Wei didn't look up, but with a smile on his face: "No need."

Jiang Siyan turned his head to the kid who was sitting on the side of his table and said, "Okay, don't shush, okay?"

Han Weiyi was stunned, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Siyan: "This kid doesn't know who to learn from, he keeps booing non-stop, making me want to go to the bathroom."

Han Weiyi is only two heads taller: "What is this kid learning?"

Recalling that when Jiang Siyan got home last night, Jiang Siyan was in a deep sleep, Han Wei didn't cry out, and simply hugged him all the way home from the car.He put the man on his bed, took off his coat and shoes for him, and pulled the quilt over Jiang Siyan's body.

Looking at Jiang Siyan's sleeping face, Han Wei's heart beat continuously, and his tongue licked his chapped lips back and forth.In the darkness, he lowered his head slightly, approached the corner of Jiang Siyan's lips, and planted a superficial kiss.

Jiang Siyan seemed a little uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and hummed softly.

After Han Wei succeeded, for fear of waking up the dreamer, he immediately got up, pretending nothing happened, patted Jiang Siyan, and waited until the other party was silent, then said in a low voice, "Good night."

Han Wei got up and was about to leave and go downstairs to get Jiang Siyan's luggage, when he suddenly remembered that the night before when he stole the kiss, there was a little ghost watching him from somewhere he didn't know, probably the little ghost also witnessed the whole process of what happened just now, maybe I have learned something again.

Under pressure, Han Wei put his index finger in front of his mouth and said to the air in the room, "Shh, keep it secret!"

The author has something to say: if secrecy does not exist, the whole world must know.

Hush—— whispered, Fat Cha wants to comment on Po Qian.
