Criminal Investigation Notes

Nineteen years ago, September.

White Lori, only 11, was lying on the windowsill in a small white dress. She looked out of the window of the nursing home. From her point of view, you can see a small piece of green on the grass.

The old people had their supper early. It was almost dusk. The sky had just begun to show the color of sunset. They all finished their dinner and walked from the dining hall outside to their sleeping place in twos and threes.

Most of the old people were deaf and spoke so loud that they made a lot of noise in the yard. In front of her was the soundproof glass window, through which she could still hear some intermittent voices.

The view outside the window was monotonous and boring, but Gloria was attentive, quiet and motionless.

When my grandfather went to the canteen to return the dishes, he would take this opportunity to catch his breath and chat with other old people. He would stay for a while and come back again. Grandma had already been lying in bed early and washed simply, so she didn't need to take care of her. This is the only time of the day that belorui's own.

My grandfather always said that their family was lucky enough. When they came to the nursing home together, they had two empty beds. So, my grandfather and Grandma had a room. Later, because her parents divorced, she also stayed in and slept with her grandmother in the same bed.

Bai Luorui seems to have heard from her mother and her grandfather before. She had a very serious disease, like lung cancer. She was lying at home and waiting to die in the hospital. It's better to come to the nursing home to wait for death. There are more old people here who can bask in the sun and have a chat. Maybe grandma's health will be better.

My grandfather always insisted on taking care of grandma by himself, and didn't let people send her to the intensive care building.

However, grandma's health was not obviously better. On the contrary, she sometimes had a fever at night, and her body was hot and covered with sticky sweat. When it's too hard, she'll hum it out. Sometimes when other people are disturbed, a doctor will come and give her an injection. But Gloria knew that the drugs would not save her. At best, they would delay her illness and allow her to live a little longer in pain.

Now, Gloria could hear her grandmother's breathing, which was supposed to be trying to fall asleep, but her breath was like pulling a bellows, making a heavy whir. The air in the room became dirty, and there was a strange smell. It was the smell of disease and aging. Fortunately, she had been familiar with all this.

Why are people old? And why die?

Belorui thought about it, absorbed in thought.

A bright whistle came from the door, which was the secret signal between Wei Hong and her. White Lori's eyes moved and withdrew. Though the window was near dusk, it was bright. The room is dark, there is no light, pull the curtain, block all the sunshine. I can't help it. Grandma doesn't like the sunshine, so the curtains are pulled all the year round. There is only a small piece of window, you can feel a bit of light.

Bai Luorui got used to the darkness in the room before going out. Behind her came the sound of grandma's cough. She had been awake just now: "don't associate with the boy surnamed Wei. Learn from the child who often comes here, and don't forget to study hard every day here..."

In this yard, Wei Hong is a lousy boy who is struggling around. He has poor grades and plays truant in school. The child who is often brought over is an alien. Bailuorui doesn't know who he is. He only knows that he occasionally appears in the nursing home.

In recent months, I have seen him every month. He is a clean and clean young man. He is polite to people and is a good child of all the old people. Gloria liked him, and he had a good smell, which was different from those old people. She asked him, and he said his surname was Gu, and his name was Gu Zhibai.

Gloria walked on, pretending not to hear behind her, and carefully locked the door.

Under the stairs at the end of the corridor, Wei Hong and Du Ruoxin had been waiting there for a long time. One of them was 12 years old, and the other was only nine years old. Wei Hong still held a frog that he had caught today. Because he had been running in the yard all year round, he was sunburnt, but his eyes were white and bright. When they saw her coming, Wei Hong got up and threw the frog on the ground. He raised his head and said to Gloria, "have you really decided? Are you going to see Dr. Xia? "

Gloria nodded. After dinner today, it was the time they had made a long time ago.

Du Ruoxin took Bai Luorui's hand and thought of her previous plan. She was a little backward: "I'm afraid, we'd better not go..."

"You promised me for a long time, but now you want to say no more?" Bai Luorui's voice was still childish, but she said something like a little adult, and her expression was full of disdain. She was afraid of attracting adults. She lowered her voice in Du Ruoxin's ear and said, "you are always like this. Your parents just leave you here, coward!"

This sentence seems to have a thorn, scratch Du Ruoxin, listen to Bai Luorui's words, she is a little sad to lower her head.

"You can go or not." White Lori walked forward a few steps, turned back to look at her two small partners behind her, "if you are afraid, it's still time to go back."

"I will follow you whatever you do." Wei Hong finished speaking, followed her forward, a pair of eyes in the dark corridor appears bright. He didn't study well. At first, the other children in the yard were isolating him and not playing with him.Wei Hong didn't have a friend until bailuorui came. She will suddenly take his hand, the girl's hand is tender and weak, and she will carefully help him wipe the wounds left by the fight.

To Bai Luorui, Wei Hong always followed blindly, regardless of whether he was right or wrong. In his eyes, the little girl is like a princess. Since she is a princess, she should be protected by knights.

Du Ruoxin murmured a few times and followed. Among the children in the nursing home, she was the youngest and timid, but she was always the follower of bailuorui. She didn't want to be left alone by her best friend. What's more, she thinks that Gloria is right. Her parents must hate her for being cowardly and cowardly and leave her here. If she can do something shocking, maybe they will pay more attention to her.

the three people went to the doctor and nurse's building, and they knocked on Xia unknown's door as usual. Doctor Xia just had a rest tonight, and they all had only ten against that room Jiping's dormitory is very familiar.

Xia unknowns just took off the white clothes that she had been wearing for a day and changed her usual clothes, which made her body exquisite and gentle and intellectual. With a smile on her face, she got up and poured water for them: "how did you come here today? Are you here to ask about homework? "

All the children here know that Dr. Xia always likes children. There are often children here to play, and she has been used to it. There are candy for the children on the table, and they will patiently answer their homework.

"Doctor Xia, I want to ask you something." Bai Luorui's voice was clear and serious. It seemed that she had made some important decision. Wei Hong and Du Ruoxin stood aside and did not dare to say anything.

Xia unknown turns to look at the child. She recognized her, the child surnamed Bai, with precocious puberty above age. She is also very beautiful, such a little girl even in this gloomy old people's home will still get a lot of preferential treatment.

Xia unknown asked Bai Luorui: "what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to help me kill my grandmother," she said, word by word

Xia unknowns for a moment, just to make sure that he did not hear wrong, this only a few years old child's expression is serious and firm, she does not seem to think that what he said is how shocking, and his two small partners, the boy is silent, the other girl obviously has some panic, seems to feel her mood change, bailuorui took her hand 。

I'm afraid the children have been planning for a long time.

Xia unknown looked at her, her eyes gradually changed, expression from the initial soft, become a little indifferent: "why make this request?"

White Lori clenched her fist, and her hands sweated: "that's my grandmother's wish. She told me more than once that she wanted to die. She couldn't live by herself. I hope you can help me achieve her wish. I have only one request, that is, let her die as painless as possible

Granny trapped herself and her. Since grandma was ill, Gloria had not slept a whole night. She went to school during the day and came back from school to help her grandfather take care of the patients. The seriously ill grandmother was sensitive and irritable. She was angry when she was not satisfied. Sometimes she would cry hysterically. She closed all the curtains and didn't want to talk to people. She said that her life should not be like this, she said she had lived enough, she said she wanted to die more than once.

"Do you think it's good for her to kill her?" Xia unknown holding the water in her hand, she used a disposable paper cup, which was originally poured for these children, but now it has not been handed to them. She bowed her head and took a drink.

Although she killed people, she knew very well what she was doing. These children, just in their teens, had no idea what these words meant.

Although she sometimes hates herself, she still has a trace of humanity. She does not want to involve these children. She shakes her head and refuses to say, "I am a doctor here and a doctor. I can't promise you, and I don't know why you have such a request."

Summer unknown put down the water cup in his hand: "you go, after this door, such silly words don't say with others."

Bailuorui seems to have expected to be rejected, she looked up at Xia unknowns, eyes aggressive: "we know your secret. If you don't promise me, I'll tell the police what you did in the intensive care building. "

Summer unknown eyes slightly squint: "so, what did I do in the critical building?"

"You killed people there." "We saw you drive a nail into the old man's head and inject the potion in," said belorui in a deep voice

The room was quiet for a moment.

Du Ruoxin felt goose bumps on her arm. She looked at Gloria with some fear and regretted telling them what had happened.

Once they played hide and seek, Du Ruoxin hid in the curtain of a patient in the critical care building. Maybe because she was small and thin, Xia didn't find her. She heard a sound of feet in the room. She saw Xia unknowns come to the bedside and injected something after the old man was tortured. The paralyzed old man could only make a sound, Being subjected to such cruel torture.Later, Xia unknown recorded these in his book.

Frightened Du Ruoxin told her two best friends about this. She hoped that they could go to tell the adults together, but Bai Luorui asked her not to make a statement.

From that day on, they began to pay attention to Dr. Xia's whereabouts. Every time Xia unknowns went to the intensive care building alone, there would be old people who died and had more scars on their bodies. They were sure that Xia did something secret here.

She's killing people!

She's testing how to kill people!

At that time, Dr. Xia's eyes, just like now, were so cold that people familiar with her almost did not recognize it.

Xia looked down at Gloria with interest: "do you know what you're talking about? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you

"If I had come alone, it might have been. But now there are three of us. If you want to kill me, they will immediately run out and call for someone. Even if you kill us all in the future, it will certainly arouse the suspicion of others, and you will not do so. "

It's normal for the elderly to die in a nursing home. The death of children, and the death of three children at a time, will certainly arouse people's attention. She couldn't get rid of them together. As long as someone was alive, she could spread her secret.

Summer unknown smile: "so this is the reason why you brought your little friend here?" Then she looked at the three children in front of her, and her tone eased down, as if all the things we talked about were just some jokes. "I haven't done anything. You can tell if you want. Those old people died naturally. Let's see if the police believe what you say or what I say. You'd better go back now, or I'll complain to your parents. "

Du Ruoxin pulled Weihong to get up, but Bai Luorui didn't move there: "doctor Xia Then I'll tell the old people about it and let them know that you are going to kill them, and then someone will come to investigate. " She looked at Xia unknowns eyes, "even if they can't find evidence for a while, they will be on guard against you and be careful. You can't kill people here any more."

What she said is right. Once the vital interests are concerned, people will pay more attention to their own lives. The police will not believe the children's words, but will believe the old people's words. Even if it's just gossip, it's a sharp weapon to kill people. What's more, she may have left clues somewhere.

Gloria stares at Xia unknowingly. She doesn't like her. She thinks she is cruel and sick. But she needs such a teacher. She wants to get what she needs and do what she wants to do.

Xia unknown looked down at white Lori from the new head, in the child's eyes, she saw something different, that kind of feeling, like a foraging beast met a similar species, she was a little shaken: "if I do, what good."

Gloria knew that her opportunity was coming. Now, she had to persuade Xia unknowns. She blinked, with a childlike innocence on her face, but she was very serious: "I can help you with things. We can even do things for you. We are children, not so noticeable, we can help you to follow, help you do a lot of things you can not do alone

Xia unknowingly looked at them and seemed to be considering whether to promise her: "but, how can you make me believe that you will keep a secret?"

Gloria's voice was clear: "we knew you were killing, but we didn't tell the Lord that this is our choice. Now that we are involved, we are accomplices. If we confess you, we will also be implicated. "

"And the two of you?" Xia unknown asked again.

"I follow her." The boy was quick to express his position, his tone was a little proud, as if he was going to do something exciting and brave, "is not it a dead man? I live in this nursing home with my grandfather. I saw dead people when I was five years old. Some old people are just scraps of wasted resources. "

Du Ruoxin turned her eyes and looked at her two little friends. She twisted her body and was so competitive that she didn't want to fall behind: "I I can help you watch the wind. That's what I'm good at. I play hide and seek, and they can't find me. "

Xia unknowns stare at the three children in front of them. They don't seem to know that they are volunteering to become accomplices and executioners. They also don't know what kind of life they will face in the future.

Xia was silent for a few seconds. Then she nodded and looked at Gloria. "OK, I can help you."

It was that day that their lives changed.

Since then, Gloria has seen a lot of people die. Sometimes a person's death is a long and tortuous process, which takes months or even years. Years are like a sharp knife, cutting the flesh and blood from the body. As long as there is one breath, the heart is still beating, as long as the brain wave is not a straight line, you can survive 。

Sometimes killing a person is a very simple process. It only needs an injection, a rope and a knife. In a few minutes, the soul is like the liquid in the container. It will leak away, and the life will pass away. Yin and yang are separated.She spent a whole year with Xia unknown. Like a best student, he not only learned all the means that Xia did not know, but also excelled in the blue.

It's just that she has one more thing to do

In August of that year, 12-year-old Gloria made an anonymous call to the police.

Devil, it's time to go to hell. She firmly believes that what she has done has no trace. She is confident that even if Xia is arrested, she will not disclose them and implicate them. That woman, like a madman, those crazy things, the things they have participated in, will not be believed.

Since then, the matter of Wushan home for the aged was finally revealed.

She even said that the inquiry that Bai Luorui was afraid of didn't come. Xia unknowingly disappeared. She did not know where she had fled. No one knew that they had been involved in those things. They were safe

Nineteen years later.

In the car, Gloria looked out of the car as if she were a child.

The car stopped when passing a red light, and bailuorui, who was freed from her memory, looked up and saw that Longyue pension city was about to arrive. From this perspective, it was really similar to Wushan nursing home.

The bustling city reflected on the windows. In the traffic flow, the sound of the car flute was a little harsh. Gloria looked at the building and was dazed. She remembered that she helped Xia unknowingly hold down her grandmother's hand. At that time, grandma's eyes looked at her. It was clearly the fastest medicine to take effect. However, her blue veins were exposed in her neck and her eyeballs protruded. She hesitated for several seconds before she died. Finally, she called out to her, "Lori!"

That's the last word grandma said.

Then she went to the bathroom and repeatedly washed her hands until they were red.

At the moment, Gloria looked down at her hand. She unconsciously turned the bracelet on her hand. It was a relic left by her grandmother. She had brought it from the age of ten to the present. As the years passed, the bracelet had been small, but she could not bear to take it off.

Grandma at that time should be a surprise.

Grandma just didn't have time to listen to her explain these clearly. If she understood, she would smile like she did after she got 100 points in the exam. She hugged her and said, "my Lori did a good job."

She won't blame her. Grandma was so miserable and miserable. She often told her that she was dying and wanted to die.

What she did was just to end the pain as she wanted.

She was brought up by her grandmother. She loved her grandmother, even more than others. Only she knew her pain, and only she could help her end that pain!

When she grew up, Gloria found that there were millions of families in the world, and many people had to endure the pain.

Life can be measured by formula, when pain is greater than joy, when there is nothing to do on the edge of incurable disease, when you are old enough to drag everyone

People should die when they die.

However, some people, who want to die, have no courage to die, do not know how to do it, no one to help them, those struggling old people, those families in the mud, how helpless, how poor? So she came to help him and help them, which is what she's doing now. It's a great thing, and it's something she has to do.

She and Xia unknown is completely different, her heart is kind, let those people out of the sea of suffering.

Gloria sighed and looked out the window. The car was about to stop and her destination was about to arrive.

She sat up straight and looked forward. Belorui's heart was still thinking about that question. Up to now, she has not found the answer: why do people grow old? And why die?
