"When I searched the scene, there was an infirmary."
The old man gave Zheng Kai a positive answer.
Zheng Kai did not ask in a hurry, but waited for the old man to continue.
"It's just that the infirmary has been abandoned for a long time. It's filled with a lot of clutter. It's actually a grocery room."
The child abuse and murder case caused a great sensation.
All useful details are being recorded in the files.
The infirmary was an insignificant detail in the eyes of many people back then.
Information that is not useful to the case will not be recorded.
This is also the reason why Zheng Kai didn't see the infirmary in the file.
Zheng Kai frowned slightly.
He is not a dedicated crime solver per se.
He will have his own ideas from the perspective of thinking about the problem. Moreover, this kindergarten is related to his life safety, so he cannot rely solely on the files from that year.
Zheng Kai bowed to the old man again: "Thank you for answering my question."
After saying that, Zheng Kai walked out of the kitchen.
The staff dormitories have been demolished, so there is no need to check them.
The kitchen can be put aside for now.
Zheng Kai is now going to the second floor in the south to see the abandoned infirmary with his own eyes.
Looking at Zheng Kai leaving alone, a middle-aged man among the four murmured: "Xiao Qing, where did you discover this talent? I like this young man quite a lot."
Su Qing was stunned for a moment: "Is he a talent? Why don't I think so?"
The old man smiled and nodded: "I quite like him too."
"Teacher, you..."
Among this group of people, only the young man seemed to be hostile to Zheng Kai, while the others all admired Zheng Kai.
Especially this old man!
The old man walked slowly outside. He was curious about what Zheng Kai would do next: "Actually, this case has not been solved yet."
The experience of more than twenty years ago flashed through the old man's eyes. Not all cases have results, and not all criminals can be arrested and brought to justice.
"When I investigated this case, the most difficult problem I encountered was not due to the criminal's careful thinking, nor to my own negligence."
"I lost time."
The social impact caused by the case is too strong.
During that time, everyone in Zhi'an City lived in fear. They were afraid that their children would become one of the children in Yizhi Kindergarten, and they were afraid that the murderer would expand his target from children to adults.
Under the huge pressure of public opinion, the General Administration could only push out Guo Shengping, the person with the greatest suspicion.
In particular, Guo Shengping disappeared during that time and could not be found.
In this way, his suspicion becomes even greater.
If sufficient investigation time had been given, the outcome of the case might have been different.
This is a hurdle in the heart of the old man.
Regardless of whether Guo Shengping was the real murderer in the end, he felt guilty.
Because the judgment that convicts a person has changed from evidence to popular opinion, which makes the old man feel scared.
When evidence no longer matters, anyone can be convicted.
The old man's eyes were very complicated.
What he admired about Zheng Kai was that this young man had a very unique perspective on problems.
After a brief contact, his appreciation for Zheng Kai became even stronger.
To solve a crime, sometimes all you need is a novel brain circuit.
.......
the other side.
Zheng Kai finally walked to the door of the second floor building on the south side.
There was originally a white seal on the door, but now it's so damaged that it's original appearance can't be seen.
With a gentle tug, the seemingly solid door was opened by Zheng Kai.
Squeak~
The door leaf made a very harsh friction sound, which made people get goosebumps all over.
The light gray dust made Zheng Kai squint his eyes slightly and cover his mouth and nose.
After waiting for a while, Zheng Kai walked inside.
After entering, Zheng Kaicai had the most intuitive understanding of this two-story building.
The door is facing the stairs.
On both sides of the stairs, the infirmary and bathroom are on the left; the toy storage room and the kindergarten teacher's office are on the right.
There is a seal on the door of every room.
White spider webs hung in every corner, and no one had come in for a long time.
If Zheng Kai and Su Qing had not come here today, the two-story building would have been quickly bulldozed by the construction team and disappeared from the world.
"There's another place I've overlooked."
Some things, the more you think about them, the more questions you have.
Zheng Kai did not go to the infirmary immediately, but looked at the innermost room on the right. The sign above said: Kindergarten Teacher's Office.
Kindergarten teacher......
The soles of his feet stepped on the dusty ground, making no sound.
Zheng Kai walked cautiously towards the kindergarten teacher's office.
When I arrived at the door, the glass on the office door was completely broken.
Zheng Kai did not go in, but stuck his head halfway through the broken window and took a look.
It’s all junk!
Covered with mildew, smelly wooden legs of tables and chairs, and cardboard boxes with no original appearance, this place doesn't look like an office at all.
After hesitation, Zheng Kai did not choose to open the door and go in.
He memorized the entire layout of his office, even where the light switches were.
This place is also not mentioned in the dossier.
Obviously, in the minds of the inspectors at that time, the infirmary and kindergarten office were assigned to ordinary places.
Suddenly, Zheng Kai saw a crack in the wall, and some vague patterns were revealed.
After digging out a small piece of wall, the pattern became clearer.
"Graffiti?"
Zheng Kai just pulled it gently, and all the original wall coverings fell off in an instant, revealing the inside.
Bah!
The wall panel fell to the ground, causing dust to fly up.
Zheng Kai was choked and coughed. He shook his hand a few times to disperse the dust in front of his eyes.
At this moment, Su Qing and others also walked in.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The old man's eyes widened even more, staring at the wall after it fell off.
Just as Zheng Kai thought, it was indeed graffiti.
Moreover, it is a child's graffiti with a very rough and simple style, and it is difficult to tell what is being drawn at a glance.
Zheng Kai took a few steps back, his eyes covering the entire wall.
After a few seconds, he stopped paying attention to the graffiti on the wall and finally walked towards the infirmary.
He had some guesses in his mind.
But these guesses need to be verified and cannot be told to others.
Zheng Kai didn't intend to speak, he just wanted to walk around in silence and leave.
But the old man seemed to care about Zheng Kai's thoughts. When Zheng Kai passed by him, he said, "Young man, what do you think this graffiti is about?"
Zheng Kai's eyes flickered: "I don't know."
Among the people present, except Zheng Kai, all were comrades with experience in solving crimes.
The prisoners they came into contact with were much more cunning than Zheng Kai.
Therefore,
They could tell at a glance that Zheng Kai didn't want to tell the truth.
Just as Su Qing was about to ask, the old man held Su Qing's shoulders and smiled at Zheng Kai: "Go and do your business."
Zheng Kai came to the door of the infirmary. This time he opened the door without hesitation and walked in.
"Teacher, he must have thought of something."
Su Qing said firmly.
The old man was very helpless: "Can't you think of the things he can think of?"
When he met Zheng Kai's eyes, the old man knew that what he was thinking was the same as what Zheng Kai was thinking.
This case back then,
Their search was in the wrong direction from the beginning.
