Under the gray sky, three short figures rushed out of the dormitory building as usual, and slowly walked around the green belt for daily morning jogs and the most basic martial arts training.

Behind the rows of pine trees, Song Ci, who was wearing sportswear, made a stern posture, urging Chen Yuli, who was trying to be lazy, with a stern expression, not allowing her to be distracted from thinking about the breakfast hanging on the treetops before completing the task.

"Yan Dou, why do we have to get up early in the morning to do these strange movements, I'm so hungry every time I finish it!"

Chen Yuli, who has been taking special medicine for half a month, no longer swallows toothpaste froth as she did when she first met her, and her mind will not only revolve around food, at least she will bother to think about it when others ask for it. Find out why, as it is now.

Song Ci squeezed his delicate arm, "Because we have to learn to protect ourselves."

She motioned the other party to look at Quan Minxiu, who is also talented in martial arts, "Look at Minxiu, he wants to protect his younger brother so hard to learn all the knowledge. And you, don't you want it in Yuri's heart?" Something to guard?"

"Of course there is!"

Chen Yuli stretched out her thumb and little finger with her left hand, and they landed heavily on the palm of her right hand, "I want to be with Yeon Doo and Min Soo forever!"

In the little girl's limited fuzzy memory, only the days when her three good friends were together were the happiest, and she instinctively hoped that she could live like this forever.

"Then be obedient."

Song Ci persuaded patiently, "If one day in the future, Minxiu and I become heroes flying over walls, but Yuri can only stand on the ground and watch, what should we do?"

When Chen Yuli thought of such a situation, it was almost worse than not being able to eat, "I will work hard to learn martial arts, don't abandon me!"

"Don't be afraid, I will teach you slowly."

The sweaty Quan Minxiu took the time to comfort her, "No matter where I go, I will take Yuri with me."

At this moment, the little boy's heart is full of longing for the future life. When he grows up, he will definitely take his younger brother and Yuri to move to a city full of sunshine.

He will also work hard to become a capable person, instead of lying helplessly on the hospital bed like his father, unable to even leave his mother behind.

Looking at the cute and childish smiling face in front of him, Song Ci couldn't imagine what kind of pain and despair Quan Minxiu would go through five years later to be so determined to die with the murderer who killed his brother, and died tragically on that dyed river. On the railroad tracks where my brother's blood was stained.

Thinking of the railway track extending from the dark tunnel, Song Ci couldn't help but think of another little girl who also disappeared in the brilliant years, Shi Yinzhu.

Shi Yinzhu is a child with congenital hearing impairment. Her birth completely broke down the already crumbling family relationship. The mother who could not bear her husband's indifference could only file for divorce, and took the child back to her hometown of Wujin, where it was easier to make a living.

In a patriarchal society like the Republic of Korea, it is conceivable how difficult it is for a divorced woman to live with a disabled daughter. The conservative folk customs in remote towns make their mother and daughter suffer from cold discrimination.

But Yinzhu's mother still gritted her teeth and persisted in raising her daughter with a meager income in cleaning work. With the help of social welfare organizations, she sent her child to Ci'ai School to receive education for the hearing-impaired.

"Yinzhu, listen to the teacher carefully, and don't cause trouble for everyone!"

In the words of her mother's exhortations, the lively and lovely Shi Yinzhu walked into the longing for campus life, and thus walked into the end of her life.

In the second year of Shi Yinzhu's school, she was found dead on the railroad tracks by scavengers in such a cold winter.

The speeding train crushed the little girl's body into two pieces, and the mutilated and pale body lay like a damaged plaster cast in the haystack on the edge of the sleepers.

No one knew what happened that night. After a simple investigation, the police left Yinzhu's mother with only a notice of closing the case written in a few strokes.

Accidental death, these four cold words are the final conclusion made by the local police station in Shi Yinzhu's file.

Of course, this ridiculous answer can't appease a mother's broken heart, but she can no longer fight for the justice she deserves for her daughter.

Because compared to high-sounding public officials, who would take the words of a crazy woman to heart.

The once-familiar students gradually forgot the seat that should not have been vacant. Only the rabbit doll carved on the table and the dirty hair rope were still persistently waiting for the return of the owner.

In the cold wind, Song Ci's erratic gaze crossed the high courtyard wall and fell on the old figure hovering near the railway track.

The old woman's loving and compassionate call seemed to echo in her ears, "Yinzhu, go home, mother is waiting for you!"

Song Ci slowly closed his eyes, digesting Yinzhu's mother's confusing and upside-down memories in his mind, trying to find sporadic clues that hide some truth.

Both Quan Minxiu and Chen Yuli stared blankly at the friend who seemed to have changed suddenly, not knowing what to do for a while.

"nothing."

Song Ci who opened his eyes suddenly smiled, "I'm just a little homesick."

She vowed silently in her heart that it was time to end all this and leave this place of oppression and pain.

Because they became friends with a transfer student from Seoul, Minsu and Yuri's life at school became easier. At least on the bright side, no one would intentionally embarrass these two mentally retarded children from poor families.

After school, Song Ci called his friends to the dormitory to review their homework together as usual, and asked them not to leave until he came back.

For safety reasons, she deliberately locked the door before leaving.

The town at night is darker than during the day, and the fog that hangs over the sky at any time even covers the stars.

With Hazel Shoes pointing the way, Song Ci found the Wujin Police Station without much effort, bypassed the police officers on duty, and entered the file room on the second floor.

"Stone Silver Bead."

In a series of files sorted by year, the girl's name is instead placed in the most inconspicuous corner of the drawer.

Song Ci slowly flipped through the obviously simplified case materials in his hand, and found Zhang Xudong's name in the case handler column without any surprise.

"Interpol Zhang, long time no see."

Thinking of the greedy and shameless face in his memory, Song Ci's fingers tightened his fingers on the thin file bag, "Is the dirty money bought with the child's life happy to spend?"

She never believed the words in the forensic examination. A child who can move freely will never lie obediently on the railway tracks waiting for the train to run over him.

After copying and backing up the required materials, Song Ci rushed to Zhang Xudong's residence not far from the police station without stopping, and carefully searched this seemingly sloppy single apartment.

In order to avoid drawing too much attention from the neighbors, she did not turn on the indoor lighting, but looked for possible key evidence with the weak light source of the mobile phone.

Song Ci went through the living room, bedroom, bathroom, all the places used by criminals to store dangerous items in detective films, but found nothing.

"There must be a place I didn't think of, where would it be?"

Her eyes jumped from the old coat hanger to the ashtray on the coffee table, and she didn't even let go of the upturned wallpaper behind the sofa.

"He is obviously a villain who collects black money, but he pretends to be clean to the point where he won't even change the wallpaper."

Song Ci sneered and was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

She walked over slowly and pushed the sofa away, pointed the phone screen at the palm-wide crack and touched it in, and then pulled out a flat plastic sealed bag.

Hidden inside was an autopsy report, but compared with the one on file at the police station, there was one more line of writing.

With the dim light of the screen, Song Ci clearly saw Shi Yinzhu's initial autopsy conclusion that the child most likely died before being crushed in half by the train.

Add this vital conclusion, and the accidental inferences made by the local police immediately become ridiculous.

"The Ci Ai School still has the face to say that Shi Yinzhu ran away secretly because she missed her family. When will a dead person be able to walk?"

Song Cizai folded the report carefully, "Perhaps only the great principal can give the final answer to this matter."

Silent night.

Zhang Xudong, who had been chic in the bar in the middle of the night, opened the door drunkenly, "A small place is a small place, and there are only a few women who can see it. Damn it, even if you close your eyes, you know what kind of woman is worth a man's money." Do you enjoy it with money? You should thank me for patronizing you in turn!"

He pressed the power switch in a daze, "What's the matter, um, didn't I pay the electricity bill on time? Damn the broken apartment!"

Zhang Xudong tried his best to reach the drawer under the TV and found a flashlight, "Block, where is the switch?"

Holding the flashlight, the man who was about to leave suddenly heard a strange clicking sound.

Very light, very crisp, one after another came from the direction of the sofa in the corner.

Zhang Xudong turned his head abruptly, and immediately under the dim light of the flashlight, a rabbit doll as tall as an adult appeared.

The big snow-white rabbit is tied with a pink bow, with a pompom hair rope tied around its ears, and is eating a carrot with relish in its paws.

"good evening."

The rabbit doll looked at the surprised man with black eyes that occupied half of his face, "Interpol Zhang, do you like carrots?"

Its small mouth opened and closed, and between chewing, it made a loli sound that men had never heard before.

"Hey! What are you?!"

Zhang Xudong was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear, "Who allowed you to enter my house, do you know who I am? A bold guy!"

"You invited me in, Detective Zhang."

The rabbit doll threw away the carrots in its paws and replaced it with a sealed plastic bag, "You like me very much, you keep my things. Except for my mother, only detective Zhang is willing to remember me."

The rabbit doll jumped to the ground and bowed, "Thank you."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Xudong showed a horrified expression, "Who are you?!"

As he said that, he rushed over fiercely, trying to snatch the plastic bag from the other party.

"Don't move, I said don't move."

The voice of the rabbit doll is still soft and cute, but to Zhang Xudong's ears, it sounds like a deadly ghost, because from this moment on, his brain has lost control of his body, and his whole body is rigidly maintaining a running posture and fixed in the living room central.

The rabbit doll bounced over, "How can I thank Interpol Zhang for his kindness?"

Its black eyes stuck to the man's side face covered with cold sweat, "By the way, you like money very much. May I give you money that you can never spend in your lifetime?"

Zhang Xudong's bloodshot eyeballs moved rapidly in the angry sockets, and his unclosed teeth could only make a vague cry for help.

"Hehe, it sounds like Detective Zhang has also become dumb."

The rabbit doll found his cell phone from his coat pocket, dialed the number of his partner in the police station, "Hi, it's me! Zhang Xudong!"

In the man's desperate eyes, the rabbit doll said in his voice: "Oh, I accidentally drank too much wine and my head hurts. I guess I can't pass tomorrow. Please explain to the boss for me, just say that I went to the countryside to check for stolen cars." The case of a thief."

There was a man's clear laughter and cursing on the phone, "Is it because of the alcohol? It's the women who give you headaches! Single men can't be too indulgent, pay attention to maintaining their health!"

The rabbit doll wiped Zhang Xudong's tears with its paws, "Stop rambling, I'll buy you a drink after I get to work, that's all."

"Solved one, but it's not over yet."

The rabbit doll then called the communication number on the phone, "Ah, here it is."

After the busy signal, a man who was obviously awakened from his sleep answered the phone impatiently, "Who is it, what's the matter so late?"

"Is it Principal Li? I'm Interpol Zhang."

The rabbit doll pretended to be deep and said: "I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but I still have a few words to tell you about that matter."

"that matter?"

The man on the phone deliberately lowered his voice, "Isn't that incident a long time ago, and I didn't let Interpol Zhang get involved in vain, did I?"

"Yes, thanks to Principal Li's generosity, I can live a good life now."

The rabbit doll said eagerly: "But I just got the news today. It seems that the higher-ups will set up a special investigation team. Although those people may not be willing to go to a small town like Wujin to suffer, some things are not suitable for the police station." here. What do you think?"

Principal Li was silent for a while, "Will it be troublesome to put these things in a safer place?"

The rabbit doll smiled, "Please believe me, it won't be more troublesome than last time."

"Ok."

Principal Li finally agreed to his request, "You come to the school tomorrow night to find me and bring those things. I will also prepare the necessary items to solve the trouble."

"Okay, see you tomorrow night."

The rabbit doll pressed the end button, looked up at the ashen-faced man, "How much money do you need to solve those troubles, 500 million or 1000 million? Is a child's life only worth this little money in your heart?"

Zhang Xudong's ears were buzzing, he never knew he could make such a cold voice.

Even when dealing with that matter, he smiled and said: "It's really tricky, after all, he is dead."

When he still had some money, he also found the sound of the rubbing notes to be more pleasing to the soul than the church hymns.

But now those warm and beautiful voices have all left him, and the only thing he can do is to wait for the avengers to carry out their final punishment.

"so cold."

Zhang Xudong looked at the still cute rabbit head in a daze, "No matter how hard I try, I can't let myself live in this world for a second. It turns out that this is the feeling of being deprived of life. I haven't died yet, but I feel too cold to live. It's over."

As if hearing the voice of the man, the rabbit puppet waved its hand to create a stack of banknotes on the coffee table, "Life is priceless, how can it be taken away at will? But it is different if both parties voluntarily buy and sell."

It clumsily lifted up the large bills with its paws and counted them, "A person with the status of a criminal police officer must be more valuable than Yin Zhu, and no one with long eyes will deny this. Well, it counts as 1 million yuan." alright."

Pushing the small pile of money aside, the rabbit doll happily fiddled with its new toy, "From this moment on, Detective Zhang is mine."

"The nose is mine."

The rabbit doll said and patted its paw, and a thick blood mist burst out.

"The arm is mine, too."

"There are also legs. How can a rabbit's legs be so long?"

Ten minutes later, the red and white rabbit doll returned to the bedroom with the paralyzed detective Zhang, and thoughtfully covered him with a blanket.

"Get a good night's sleep."

The rabbit doll humming a lullaby gently tapped the man's body, "When you wake up from the nightmare, you will find that nothing has changed."
