The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Leng Yu and the others stepped on the single-plank bridge, and after crossing the small river, they went straight to the village chief Ye's house and searched for it again. They passed through the houses and saw that the villagers’ earthen huts looked almost exactly the same as the village chief’s.

Fortunately, the three people secretly wrote down the route when they were on the way to the orphanage with the village chief, so they didn't get lost in this strange village.

When they came to the village chief’s earthen house again, Leng Yu raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door outside his house. Then he leaned towards the wooden door and listened to the movement inside.

When she didn't hear any footsteps coming from the room, she knocked on the wooden door again. Xiao Cheng was afraid that the village chief would have found out that they knew he was lying and left, so he opened his voice and shouted: "Mr. Ye, are you at home? Open the door!"

Huang Lin walked around from the other side of the earthen house, and when he walked around the village head's house, he saw that the back door was also deeply locked. So she came to Leng Yu again and said, "The wooden door behind the house was also locked. I don't know if he went out."

Just when Leng Yu wanted to knock on the door again, the wooden door was suddenly opened from inside, and I saw the head of the village chief Ye just now sticking out, his white hair was still wet, and it looked like he had just washed it. bath.

When Mayor Ye saw them returning, he made a smile and asked, "I'm sorry, I just took a bath and didn't hear anyone calling me. How's it going? Are there any major discoveries?"

Leng Yu stared at his eyes tightly. Seeing that he didn't show the slightest sly look in his eyes, she began to be suspicious, but calmly, she said lightly: "Mr. Ye, you let us go in and sit first. I want to talk to you about something."

Mr. Ye didn't doubt he was there, and opened the door to let the three people in. When they stepped into the hall of his earthen house again, they saw that the chair arrangement was the same as before they left. Obviously, Mr. Ye hadn't moved everything in the living room after returning home.

Leng Yu sat unceremoniously on the chair he had sat on before, and without waiting for Mr. Ye to sit down, he asked, "Mr. Ye, why are you lying to us?"

After hearing this, the head of Village Ye shook his body standing behind the door. After a long time, I heard him sigh long.

After closing the wooden door of the hall, he turned and walked to the wooden chair in front of Leng Yu, bent down and slowly sat down, and when he looked up at Leng Yu, he met her indifferent eyes.

After a few minutes, he asked, "What did you find?"

At this time, Xiao Cheng took out a bag of physical evidence from his trouser pocket, raised his hand and raised his hand, saying, "We found a medical glove in the orphanage."

After seeing a glove in the material evidence bag he lifted, Mayor Ye moved slightly involuntarily, and was caught by the sharp-eyed Leng Yu. She said: "Mr. Ye, Mr. and Mrs. Liang Chengyuan What heinous crime was committed in the orphanage back then? Why did you hide it from us again?"

Chief Ye looked at Leng Yu with a pair of eyes. At this moment, those muddy eyes showed a complicated look. He lowered his eyes and said, "I'm hiding it from you because I don't want you to find that child."

child?

Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin glanced at each other, and they didn't understand who the child was in the head of the village chief, and what did this child have to do with this case?

However, for Leng Yu and Qi Congying, she immediately understood the meaning of Mr. Ye's words, and only listened to her coldly saying: "If he killed Liang Chengyuan and his wife and that Doctor Lin, no matter where he escapes, we will Where did you catch it."

Mayor Ye raised his head and looked at Leng Yu again, with a deep sorrow in his eyes. He said: "Police officer, Liang Chengyuan and his wife, and Doctor Lin deserve to die. Why can't you let it go? That kid?"

After hearing what he said, Leng Yu roughly guessed what happened that year. She thought that the incident might have involved many lives, and these lives were killed by these so-called doctors, so when the head of the village Ye revealed the real reason for lying, Leng Yu actually It understands his intentions.

Deep down in her heart, how much she wished that child could fly far away, don't let them find him.

However, as a police officer, her job is to find out who killed the deceased and then arrest them, so no matter what, she must find out what happened.

Leng Yu took a deep breath and slowly said, "Mr. Ye, please don't obstruct the police's mission and answer our questions honestly."

Although her tone was still as indifferent as usual, Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin, who had followed her for many years, could hear the helplessness hidden deep in Leng Yu's heart.

Seeing her insistence on this, Village Chief Ye nodded and said, "I also understand. But, police officer, if you really find the child, I beg you to help him so that he will not suffer too much in prison."

Although what happened in the prison has nothing to do with Leng Yu and others, she still agreed to him: "Okay, we will try our best to take care of him."

After receiving Leng Yu’s verbal assurance, Mr. Ye slowly said, “Chen Yiqin is a native of Nanshi. She somehow got the mayor’s permission and came to our village’s orphanage as a deputy dean. I At that time, I was very curious about her background, but since she was the person recommended by the mayor, I didn’t want to say much, so I handed it over to her. At first, she was a conscientious deputy dean and treated the orphans. The affairs of the courtyard were quickly learned, and even more flexible and clever than the dean, so the orphanage was taken care of by her fairly well, and in my eyes, I also felt relieved."

Leng Yu hugged a pair of arms and asked, "What happened afterwards?"

Village Chief Ye smiled bitterly, and said: "Later, I heard from the villagers that the dean was getting old and becoming useless, and that many things could not be done well, so I hope that I will get rid of him and let Chen Yiqin be an orphan. The dean of the courtyard. However, I felt that although the dean was old, even if he had no credit back then, he should have done hard work. Therefore, I can’t get rid of him casually, so I just perfunctory the villagers. That’s it, let’s go. After a year, Chen Yiqin was already very familiar with the operation of the orphanage, and she quickly established a relationship with the villagers, so there are more and more rumors about the dean's uselessness."

He paused, and then said: "Just when the villagers once again forced me to expel the dean, I made up my mind to go to the orphanage to see if it was taken care of by Chen Yiqin as the villagers said. It's better than before, and by the way, see if the dean is really old and can no longer hold this position."

After Leng Yu heard this, he suddenly interjected and asked: "Mr. Ye, have you never been involved in all the affairs of the orphanage?"

Village Chief Ye shook his head and said, "No, I never interfere. Although the orphanage was established after I became the village head, I gave the power to the orphanage head and didn’t want to intervene in the affairs, or It can also be said that this is the trust between me and the dean. Therefore, I have all the authority to give him the affairs of the orphanage."

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Well, keep talking."

Chief Ye villager reached out and took a cup of water next to the table. After taking a sip of water, he said, "Since the establishment of the orphanage, I have only been there 3 times. Later, after so long, I finally stepped in again. In the orphanage. In the past, the orphanage was just a simple wooden house with only a hall in it, and there were many small beds in the middle of the hall. Therefore, when all the orphans got together, it looked special Crowded. But at that time, we did not have enough funds at all, so we could not build a larger and more comfortable orphanage for the children. I remember when I stepped into the orphanage again, I saw Chen Yiqin was Cooking for the children, and the other villagers working there in the yard are also taking care of everything for the children. However, when I was chatting with one of the girls by chance, I accidentally found her arm Bruises."

When Leng Yu heard him say this, a thought flashed in his mind. What the Chief Ye said coincided with her previous thoughts, and she saw a hint of joy in the depths of her eyes.

Sure enough, Chen Yiqin has a tendency to abuse children.

Chief Ye had a pause, and when he saw that Leng Yu didn’t speak, he continued: “I asked the little girl how the bruises on her arms came from. She just told me that she accidentally fell and hurt her. Yes. I saw the little girl later and didn’t show any unusual looks or behavior, so I didn’t care too much. Later, I went to a bathhouse where several children were bathing. When I passed by the bathhouse, I saw the bather. The boys had large bruises on their backs, shoulders, arms or both. I started to wonder at this moment. I knew that something I didn't know should have happened here, so I found the dean for questioning. Unexpectedly, the dean didn’t know if it was scary or what, he didn’t tell the truth, he just said that it’s normal for the children to be naughty and hurt themselves by falling down. Then, I got another job there. When the villagers asked, seeing everyone saying so, they had to reluctantly believe it. However, since then, some bad things about the dean have disappeared, and the villagers are not forcing me to expel him from his position."

When Mr. Ye said this, he stopped talking and said to Leng Yu: "Police officer, I admit that I was careless about this matter, and it was because of my carelessness that it caused the later being in the orphanage. A series of disasters and tragedies have happened."

Leng Yu sighed and said, "This is indeed your carelessness, but it is not entirely attributable to you. Chen Yiqin, this woman is too powerful, isn't she? She can actually lead the villagers to find you and ask you to get rid of it. The dean, so that you can control everything in the orphanage. However, when you found the bruises and scars on the orphan’s body, she immediately threatened the dean and asked him not to tell you the truth, so that she could finally Continue to control everything."

Chief Ye village nodded and said, "Yes, the police officer is right. Chen Yiqin's arrival here was planned early in the morning, but the participation of Liang Chengyuan and the doctor Lin made the whole thing out of control. And when I found out it was too late, too late..."

When he said this, his face showed extreme regret, and all the misfortunes began at that time.
