Chapter 37 Tracing the Death File

Coming out of the building, I got into Amy's car and took out the information of the residents of the building in front of me from my pocket. I stole this information from the nearest police station.Two old police officers in the police station were in charge of the Hesiwen strange case. I reminded them to collect the information of all residents in this building, and then they typed up an extra copy of the information, put it in an envelope, and threw it into the trash can.And I secretly kept this information as my own. I remember clearly that this information records that next door to Hao Siwen's house lived a couple and a child.But now, the owner of the house told me that the child died when he was in kindergarten.

This is impossible. If the child is dead, it will be marked on the information. I opened the file and looked at each word with my fingers.That's right, it says a couple and a child... Slow down, I held up the document to the sun and looked at it, only to find that the copied document was blurry and there was a bracket, which seemed to be from the original document. Marked with a pencil, the handwriting is blurred after a long time, and it is even more difficult to read after copying. After reading it for a long time, I finally saw the words in brackets clearly. There is only one word: dead!

Death, the meaning of death, I still understand this. I leaned weakly on the armchair, covering my face with my hands.I'm so tired and need a rest. Amy held the steering wheel and looked at me with concern: "Officer Xia, what happened?" Yes, no, I wonder too.I put my hands off my face: "Amy, let's go to the police station and check on that child named Zhou Ruolai. I need to know the specific circumstances of this child's death." "Okay." Amy started the car and drove forward slowly, but my heart was in chaos.Zhou Ruolai, is this child dead?If he is already dead, then what clues did I use to track down the tiger's house?If he's not dead... that's clearly unlikely.

There must be something that led me to Tiger's house. What is this thing? At the gate of the police station, I got out of the car, and Amy followed me. When I entered the door, I met two old police officers who were in charge of the Hauswen case.When I saw these two people, I was overjoyed: "Oh, Xia Dachuan, you're back so soon, why do you look so ugly?" "You look ugly, that's because I saw you two old guys." I smiled, "Please help me, I want to look up the information of a child named Zhou Ruolai." The old policeman asked me, "Is there any reason?"

"I'll tell you the reason, just in case you don't believe me." I said, "If I tell you that I met Zhou Ruolai and talked to him, what would you think?" "Then you must be crazy." The two old police officers said, and took me to the household registration room. I was received by a female police officer, and they turned around and went to their own affairs. The household registration police officer is a female student who has just graduated from the police academy for two years. While eating snacks, she opened the archives database. She didn't ask me why I checked the information, and pushed the computer screen over for me to look at it myself.

I leaned over the table and watched carefully: Name of the deceased: Zhou Ruolai, 5 years old.His father, Zhou Ping, and his mother, Xue Hong, are both unemployed and make a living by setting up street stalls.Because she had no time to take care of the children, Zhou Ruolai was sent to a nearby kindergarten.Due to poor management and careless management staff, a stampede occurred in the kindergarten, and Zhou Ruolai died in the stampede. Stampede?How could this be? I turned a page in surprise, couldn't bear to look at the bloody scene photos, and directly turned to the transcript of the person responsible for the incident.

The first record was left by the police when they interrogated the director of the kindergarten. The name of the director was Ma Kui, who turned out to be a migrant worker on a construction site and lived in a temporary building on the site.The building is a three-story board house with no air conditioning or heating.The rooms on the first and second floors were filled with construction equipment, and only the rooms on the third floor were vacant.So Ma Kui used the vacant room on the third floor to open a kindergarten without filing with any department in advance.However, due to the low fees and the low income of nearby residents, more than 50 children gathered here in Ma Kui, mostly between the ages of 2 and 6.The children could only go upstairs through a winding and narrow staircase, which was very steep. As a result, one child accidentally fell down, causing a chain reaction, causing many children to roll down one after another, and as many as a dozen children were injured. Zhou Ruolai die in the event.

The second transcript was left by Ma Kui's wife Yu Daman.This is an illiterate woman, but she assumed the duties of a kindergarten teacher and childcare worker.In her transcript, she denied that the stampede happened because her sudden screams triggered panic among the children.This record is the record of this woman rambling about and trying her best to push the responsibility on others.It is not known whether the police officer in charge of handling the case was fooled by her. The third transcript was left by the adopted daughter of Ma Kui and his wife, Ma Rhila.The situation in this transcript is different. Marila assumed all the responsibility for the accident, claiming that her adoptive parents were not at the scene when the incident happened. She screamed upstairs at that time, which caused panic among the children and caused the accident. occur.

The following transcript is the testimony of eyewitnesses at that time. The testimony shows that when the accident happened, Ma Kui and his wife were both present at the scene, but Marila had nothing to do with it. Play games on the ground.There were more than two dozen children on the stairs, going upstairs.At this moment, Ma Kui's wife Yu Daman suddenly uttered a frightening scream, rushed out of a room, stood in the corridor on the third floor, and screamed desperately towards the stairs.Terrified children on the stairs turned around and ran down, resulting in a tragic stampede. I turned to the end of the file, and what I saw was the court's judgment on the responsible person.Both Ma Kui and his wife Yu Daman were imprisoned. Two years later, they were released on medical parole due to illness and died in the hospital bed.Their adopted daughter Marila was released in court.

This information surprised me, so I asked the young household registration policeman: "Do me a favor, check this Marila for me, where is she now?" The household registration police officer chewed on a snack, searched the database, and said vaguely: "She went to a nursing home in the eastern suburbs and became a nurse." Nursing home?Be a nurse?She works at Wilbur's?My heart hung up, and I stood up suddenly.Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and Amy's scream seemed to be heard in his ears, and then he didn't know anything. I don't know how long it took before I woke up and felt sore all over my body. When I opened my eyes, I saw a delicate table lamp in the shape of a Milan flower, casting soft light on the side of the bed.The quilt covering me exudes a light scent of perfume.Then I heard a slight sob.

Turning my head slowly, I saw that the door was open, and Amy was sitting on the sofa in the living room outside, holding the black diary left by fashion designer Su Xiaohe, crying while reading it.
