Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Oh right, IVLr. Lin mentioned before that you’re a police officer.” Teacher Xiaozhang’s memory was not bad. She was shocked and saddened by the murder, but after seeing Yin Tao, her mood improved a little.
Yin Tao didn’t explain too much. She glanced at Feng Jing and asked Teacher Xiaozhang with concern, “Are you the first teacher to discover the crime scene?”
Teacher Xiaozhang nodded gently. Yin Tao’s words made her relive the fear and sadness of finding the corpse.
“I’ve been feeling flustered all day today. When I came out at night, I checked the children’s room. I didn’t expect to be missing a child. I hurriedly came out to look for her, and 1 found her body in a more secluded spot.”
Teacher Xiaozhang seemed very kind. As she spoke, she wiped the tears off her face.
Yin Tao could understand her feelings. After all, they had been together day and night in the Children’s Home. As the teacher that the children trusted the most, she definitely wouldn’t feel good.
Yin Tao took out a packet of tissue paper from her pocket and handed it to Teacher Xiaozhang, who was still crying.
“Thank you, Miss Yin.”
Teacher Xiaozhang suddenly thought of something as she was sobbing. She said to Yin Tao, “At first, I thought that the missing child was Shanshan. Recently, she has been more sensitive and will always do things to hurt herself. I thought that she had secretly run out of the dormitory. I didn’t expect to see Xiaoying’s corpse in the corner.”
Hearing Teacher Xiaozhang’s words, Yin Tao and Feng Jing looked at each other at the same time. Both of them felt that the situation was complicated.
“Teacher Zhang, why do you think that the child who ran out was Shanshan?” Yin Tao’s tone was very calm, but her slightly clenched fists revealed the emotional turmoil she was in.
“Because the empty bed in the dormitory belongs to Xu Shan, of course I would think that the child who walked out was Shanshan.”
Teacher Xiaozhang noticed Yin Tao’s especially shocked expression and hurriedly explained, “Actually, there’s nothing strange about this. Xiaoying, the victim, had always been close with Xu Shan. It’s normal for the two of them to switch beds occasionally.”
“You’re saying that the child who was killed was close to Xu Shan?” Yin Tao knew that Xu Shan was a loner, so she was very concerned about what Teacher Xiaozhang said.
“They’re quite close. These two children’s preferences are a little similar, but Xiaoying is more outgoing. Our teachers said that these two children look a little like biological sisters. Their height and appearance are similar, so Xiaoying probably took what the teachers said to heart and became especially concerned about Xu Shan.”
Thinking of this, Teacher Xiaozhang’s tears flowed uncontrollably again, “Xiao Ying is usually very obedient and warm-hearted. How did she encounter such a thing?”
“My condolences. We will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible.” Yin Tao didn’t know how to comfort the female teacher in front of her. At this moment, her emotions were also very complicated.
Yin Tao was a little suspicious. Was the murderer really trying to kill Xiaoying tonight? Or was Xu Shan the real target, but she happened to not be lying in her bed?
As they were calming Teacher Xiaozhang down, Captain Gao, who had finished taking the statements, walked towards Yin Tao and Feng Jing.
“Sigh, this child’s background is very pitiful. She was abandoned by her biological parents the moment she was born. She’s only six years old and such a terrible thing had to happen to her.”
It was rare for Sergeant Gao to feel depressed. He had seen countless murders and crime scenes. It was especially heartwrenching when the victim was a defenseless child.
“Captain Gao, if there’s anything you need, we will help you with the investigation.” Feng Jing knew that the Linjiang Branch had been very busy recently. The number of missing persons was increasing, and the police officers in the entire branch were busy.
“I’m relieved to hear that. It’s already so late.”
Captain Gao glanced at his mobile phone and said to Feng Jing and Yin Tao beside him, “Go home and rest first. When the details of the case are sorted out tomorrow, I’ll get someone to send the information to your branch to see if we can find any related cases.”
Feng Jing nodded. Even if Captain Gao didn’t need his help, he had to start investigating this case. Feng Jing felt that there were many doubts about this case judging by the statement of the teacher from the Children’s Home.
“Dr. Yin, thank you for your help today.” Captain Gao looked at Yin Tao gratefully. He knew very well the strength of his interns at the police station. If not for Yin Tao’s help, he might have wasted a lot of time at the crime scene..
