"fine."
Teacher Wang shook his head and looked at the black ashes left by Zhang's mother on the ground with a trace of unbearable expression.
"Mother Zhang joined the orphanage with us. We have been together day and night for two years. I never thought that she would do such a thing..."
Xiao Li consoled him: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart, Zhang Ma has already fallen into a state of madness in order to survive. Now that she has ended up like this, it is her own fault."
Sister Sun stood aside, dumbfounded, while I watched with cold eyes. I felt more and more that the relationship between everyone in the orphanage seemed a bit complicated.
Teacher Wang didn't say anything more. He looked around and walked towards me.
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for protecting these children."
I smiled and waved my hand, indicating that Teacher Wang was welcome.
Teacher Wang nodded, and then walked behind me to check on the orphans.
Just after scanning around, Teacher Wang suddenly looked panicked: "Why is Zhou Xiaomei missing?"
I was stunned, quickly turned around, took stock, and sure enough, I found that there were only nine orphans standing behind me, and Zhou Xiaomei was the only one missing!
"Mr. Cheng, have you noticed Zhou Xiaomei?"
Teacher Wang asked me hurriedly.
"I didn't see it!"
When the monster appeared, the classroom was dark. After turning on the lights, I just glanced around and saw that the children were all crowded together, so I relaxed and did not count the heads.
I never thought that Zhou Xiaomei would suddenly disappear!
"Xiaohu, do you know where Xiaomei went?"
Seeing my confused face, Teacher Wang came to Lei Xiaohu again and asked eagerly.
"have no idea,"
Lei Xiaohu also shook his head and said with a cry.
"Just now we were doing self-study, and the classroom suddenly became dark. Sister Xiaomei said she was scared, so I took her hand and hid in the corner of the classroom with other friends, and didn't move until this uncle appeared. "
Lei Xiaohu pointed at me and said.
"I didn't notice at all when Xiaomei disappeared. Teacher Wang, you must find her!"
At this moment, Lei Xiaohu was crying so hard that he looked like an aggrieved little girl, completely different from the image of a young man he had shown before.
Teacher Wang touched Xiaohu's head and comforted: "I promise you, I will definitely get Xiaomei back."
When Lei Xiaohu said this, everyone immediately focused their attention on me, full of suspicion.
"Mr. Cheng, Zhou Xiaomei disappeared under your nose. I think you need to give us a more reasonable explanation."
Teacher Wang stared at me and said coldly.
"I've long thought that this kid doesn't look like a good person. Maybe he took the opportunity to hide Zhou Xiaomei!"
Security guard Xiao Li also took the opportunity to say: "Teacher Wang, you can't let this guy go easily!"
Sister Sun stood aside and said nothing, as if she did not dare to offend Teacher Wang and Xiao Li.
"What, you doubt me?"
I looked cold: "I kindly came down to protect the children, but now someone is missing and it's on my head. You said I need to give a reasonable explanation, but I also want to say that before you doubt others, you must at least have something." evidence!"
Teacher Wang seemed to realize that I was not someone to be trifled with, so he did not continue to press: "Mr. Cheng, the child is gone. I was too anxious just now. I hope you understand."
"I can understand, I just hope you don't doubt others randomly!"
I said coldly.
Security guard Xiao Li wanted to say something, but Teacher Wang winked and signaled him not to say more.
Then, Teacher Wang asked other children around, and everyone said they had not noticed when Zhou Xiaomei disappeared, and Teacher Wang's expression became more solemn.
"Everyone, take action to find Zhou Xiaomei!"
Teacher Wang looked extremely solemn and gave instructions to the remaining people in the orphanage.
I stood aside and watched Teacher Wang's reaction, and I became more and more convinced that Zhou Xiaomei's identity must be extraordinary.
After all, Teacher Song was eaten by a monster, Teacher Wang didn't care, and Ma Zhang was killed by Xiao Li. Others seemed to have no reaction. On the contrary, Teacher Wang acted so nervous when Zhou Xiaomei disappeared.
It was obvious that Zhou Xiaomei was very important to her.
However, if Zhou Xiaomei is the child of a ghost mother, will she really be easily eaten by monsters? If she had really been eaten by a monster, wouldn't my mission have failed?
While he was thinking wildly, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhou Xiaomei, covered in blood, walked out timidly.
"Teacher Wong……"
When Teacher Wang saw Zhou Xiaomei, he ran over quickly, squatted down, and carefully wiped the blood on Zhou Xiaomei's body, looking very nervous.
"Xiaomei, are you okay? It really scared me to death. I thought you were captured by a monster!"
"Teacher Wang, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
Zhou Xiaomei looked pale and tried hard to smile.
"Xiaomei, tell the teacher, are you injured? Why is there so much blood on your body?"
Teacher Wang asked eagerly.
"It suddenly turned dark just now. Everyone said it was a monster coming. I couldn't see anything clearly. I was so scared that I ran around. I didn't know why I ran out of the classroom. Then I saw a black monster that was biting into pieces. I grabbed Teacher Song's neck. I was so panicked that I started running around in the yard. When I ran to the kitchen door, I tripped over a stone and fell all over my body covered in blood. Then I accidentally knocked open the kitchen door and hid. He was inside and never came out.”
There was nothing wrong with Zhou Xiaomei's explanation. Teacher Wang also touched her head and said, "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."
Lei Xiaohu also ran over and said happily: "Sister Xiaomei, it's great that you are okay!"
"Just now, I remember that I was holding your hand. When did you run away on your own?"
Xiaomei smiled sweetly: "Brother Xiaohu, maybe you remembered it wrong. At that time, everyone was panicking and bumping around. I guess you pulled the wrong person."
Lei Xiaohu looked puzzled: "But I remember..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about those useless things. It's a great good thing that Xiaomei is fine!"
Teacher Wang waved his hand, signaling Lei Xiaohu not to continue questioning.
"Xiaomei, fortunately you are safe, otherwise your teacher Wang would have regarded me as the number one suspect!"
I also walked over with a smile and patted Zhou Xiaomei on the shoulder with my left hand.
"I'm sorry uncle, I believe you are a good person, and everyone will definitely find this out in the future."
Zhou Xiaomei looked at me and said softly.
I didn't say anything more, just turned around and walked away with Xiao Hei. When passing by the place where Teacher Song was killed, I quietly knelt down and picked up a piece of a wine bottle with blood stains on it.
