The next day, Li Dongliao took his six or seven strong men to the mountain.
The mountain is not very big, just a big slope at most.
But there are many robber holes on the slope, and it is not easy to find someone under the cover of dead branches and weeds.
Li Dongliao and others turned the mountain upside down, day and night, but found no one.
Tanwan was waiting for news at home, and at seven o'clock he received a call from Li Dongliao: "How are you doing there?"
"We asked the construction team to break open the cement floor, dig through all the soil in the orphanage, and found a skeleton."
Li Dongliao said with admiration: "It's just as you thought, plus the skeleton under the banyan tree, there are two in total!"
"Are the bones those of an adult or a child?" Tan Wan then asked.
"Both of them are the skeletons of children. I have sent them back to the police station." Li Dongliao stood in the mountains, making a phone call and waving away mosquitoes and insects around him.
They had just had dinner at the manor, and Tan Wan was sitting on the sofa with his feet up and Li Jue helping him change the gauze on his legs.
Li Jue's hands were already very gentle, but the stinging pain in his legs kept pricking Tan Wan's nerves.
She lightly patted Li Jue's shoulder and asked him to wait.
Then he asked Li Dongliao on the other end of the phone: "Is there any news about Wang Mei?"
"No, I didn't even see a ghost on this mountain! Maybe no one is on the mountain anymore." Li Dongliao was covered in sweat and asked the people next to him, "Have you brought water? I'm dying of thirst."
Tan Wan held up her cell phone with a serious look on her face.
Wang Mei's behavior is so abnormal that people can't understand the logic behind it.
According to the murderer's murder routine, there is no doubt that the person who receives the letter will be killed by the murderer himself.
But Wang Mei set fire to the orphanage and locked herself in a room to wait for death.
No matter how you look at it, this behavior is considered suicide and has nothing to do with homicide.
In addition, Wang Mei decided to run away when she found out that the police were arresting her. What was the reason for hiding from the police?
"I heard from Wang Mei that the children in the orphanage were transferred to other orphanages." Tan Wan paused, "Wang Mei is very close to one of the children named Xiaoqi, and maybe she will go find him."
The word 'child' came out of my mouth. After talking about it, I realized that what I said was not accurate.
Just as she was about to add something to remind Li Dongliao, the phone call on Li Dongliao's end was cut off.
Li Dongliao also said 'hello' twice and looked at his phone: "The signal is gone."
After putting down the phone, the gauze on the leg had just been replaced.
Li Jue knelt down on one knee and put on the slippers for Tan Wan, then sat next to her: "It didn't go well?"
"Well, Wang Mei ran away." Tan Wan threw the phone on the sofa, leaned his head on the back of the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Jue rubbed Tan Wan's hair with one hand, stood up and walked toward the kitchen: "Don't worry, there are surveillance cameras along the streets in City A, it's only a matter of time before someone is arrested.
It is Officer Li's task to find someone, and your task at this stage is to recover from your injuries. "
It was comfortable to stay at home, but Tan Wan couldn't let go of the police station matters.
Every moment she sat on the soft sofa made her feel extremely tortured.
"Two skeletons were found in the orphanage." Tan Wan said, "I have to go there tomorrow."
While talking, Li Jue had already prepared a glass of honey lemon juice and walked out of the kitchen.
He put the lemon juice on the coffee table in front of Tanwan, looked at her and sighed: "It's okay to go to work, but your current physical condition is not suitable for working overtime for a long time. You have to leave when the time comes."
Tan Wan nodded, and the two reached out to hook up.
Li Jue was satisfied and smiled warmly: "Drink the water and go to bed early. I will accompany you to the police station tomorrow."
On the other side, Li Dongliao and Xiao He went to another orphanage.
According to the investigation, after the director of the Red Heart Orphanage was killed, these children were transferred to this orphanage.
This orphanage is not as big as the Red Heart Orphanage, nor does it have a large-scale building complex like the Red Heart Orphanage.
But the dean seemed friendly and the children seemed happy.
The director of the orphanage welcomed the two police officers into the office: "You guys sit down for a moment, and I'll pour you two cups of tea."
Li Dongliao hurriedly stopped her: "There's no need to be busy, we'll leave after just asking a few questions."
"Okay then, what do you want to ask Mr. Police Officer?" the dean asked.
"I heard that you accepted children from the Red Heart Orphanage two days ago?"
"Yes, it's just temporary care."
"temporary?"
"The land of the Red Heart Orphanage was about to be turned into an ecological park by the government, and the new orphanage had not been built yet, so Teacher Wang came to ask me if I could let the children in their orphanage stay with me temporarily. This way."
"Teacher Wang, is this Wang Mei?" Li Dongliao became attentive when he heard the name.
"Yes." The dean nodded in confirmation.
"It sounds like you and Wang Mei are very familiar. Do you meet often?" Li Dongliao raised his eyebrows.
"There aren't many orphanages in City A, so we all know each other so we can help each other." The director said, smiling kindly.
Then, he thought of the director of the Red Heart Orphanage and sighed with regret.
"I've also read the recent news. Dean Gao is not even fifty yet. I didn't expect something like that to happen at such a young age... Oh, what an unthinkable disaster... You have news about the murderer?" Yet?"
Li Dongliao raised his hand to cover his eyebrows: "Well, I can't reveal the details to you. Just answer my questions."
The dean originally wanted to find out some inside information, but he was beaten back by a sentence: "Okay, I know everything."
Li Dongliao brought the topic back again: "You said before, when did Teacher Wang ask you to take care of the children?"
"Three days ago." The dean held his cheek, raised his head slightly and thought, "If I remember correctly, it should be the morning three days ago.
I was still hesitating whether I should accept those children, but Teacher Wang said it sincerely and even cried to me.
Those children were really pitiful, and I couldn't bear to be cruel, so I immediately agreed. "
"Have you seen Wang Mei again since then?" Li Dongliao leaned forward, "For example, in the two days from last night to today."
The dean shook his head: "No, she has never been here."
After that, Li Dongliao asked a few more questions, but he really couldn't ask anything else.
Li Dongliao gave his phone number to the dean: "Okay, if you see Wang Mei, call me here."
"Okay, okay." The dean looked at Li Dongliao doubtfully, "Since just now, the police officer has been asking about Teacher Wang. Has Teacher Wang gotten into anything?"
Li Dongliao waved his hand and said no with a smile: "Ah, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask her to record a confession. We will search for every faculty and staff member of the Red Heart Orphanage."
