Chapter 92: Chunhuahua Kindergarten (XII)
There was only her reflection in the mirror, so Qiao Yuan looked directly in the direction of the hand.
The other party obviously didn't expect Qiao Yuan to look at him suddenly, and subconsciously wanted to hide again, but Qiao Yuan grabbed his hand.
His figure paused.
He was a boy who looked only three or four years old. He was wearing a school uniform, his skin was pale and bloodless, his face was handsome, and he stared at Qiao Yuan without blinking.
He should be the dead Hu Mingxuan, and also the ghost that Qiao Yuan had seen through the door before.
It was only after seeing them face to face that Qiao Yuan realized that what she thought looked like a red tie was actually a knife wound that ran from the neck to the chest, like a fish belly that had been cut open, revealing the rotten organs inside.
However, because he had seen ghosts that were even more terrifying than this, Qiao Yuan did not show any abnormality. He was just glad that he had chosen a place where there was no one else.
At this time, Hu Mingxuan pursed his lips tightly, with a look of condemnation, looking at Qiao Yuan as if he were looking at an ignorant friend. He seemed to want to say something, but because his throat and trachea were cut, he couldn't make a sound. He soon realized this and pointed to the post on the wall.
It was a picture of a child turning off a faucet, with a thumbs-up next to it, which formed a sharp contrast with Qiao Yuan's behavior.
Before Hu Mingxuan could draw inferences from his experience and give him a thumbs-down sign, Qiao Yuan looked at him and said, "Save water resources and protect the earth, starting with me."
Hu Mingxuan: !!!
His expression could be described as shocking. Although he was only four years old, he had heard the teacher mention the earth and knew that it was their common home. He only knew that saving water was for the kindergarten, but Qiao Yuan had already thought of the earth. If his vocabulary was richer, he would definitely be able to use a more accurate sentence to describe his feelings at this moment -
The pattern is bigger.
Although he couldn't speak, Hu Mingxuan's eyes were filled with admiration when he looked at Qiao Yuan, and his impression of her was obviously much better.
Sheng Yegui stood silently aside. The moment Hu Mingxuan appeared, he subconsciously wanted to step forward, but Qiao Yuan obviously didn't need him to worry, as he was able to quickly get along well with the kid.
His eyes fell on the still clasped hands of Hu Mingxuan and Qiao Yuan. Although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, he thought about what he had learned before, which also included not being jealous, so he could only suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
Zhang Ying also appeared later. He Ze said that Zhang Ying in his memory was a little slow to react, but Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui both found that he seemed to have some slight intellectual disabilities. He could only speak a few simple words and it took him a while to react before he could answer. But for some reason, Zhang Ying admired Qiao Yuan right from the start.
After both ghosts appeared, Qiao Yuan was finally able to ask the question that concerned him most.
However, the two children in front of him were still ghosts in essence, so Qiao Yuan considered carefully before asking questions so as not to irritate the other party.
Qiao Yuan: "The person who hurt you is back, right?"
Considering that Hu Mingxuan, one of the two children, cannot speak, Qiao Yuan only asked questions that could be judged by "nodding" or "shaking his head".
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Hu Mingxuan's face changed. He neither nodded nor shook his head. His body was shaking violently, and his face was full of fear. His other hand subconsciously pulled Zhang Ying beside him and turned around to run. Although Zhang Ying was a beat slower to react, he also read something from Hu Mingxuan's expression and became uneasy.
However, Qiao Yuan was still holding Hu Mingxuan's other hand, so he didn't let him run away: "Don't be afraid, he's not here."
Qiao Yuan did not feel the malicious gaze, and since Hu Mingxuan and Zhang Ying, who were so scared when the murderer was mentioned, both showed up, she knew that the murderer was not here.
Hu Mingxuan was reminded by Zhang Ying and obviously remembered the incident. He finally sat back down, and Zhang Ying followed suit.
Hu Mingxuan and Zhang Ying were obviously very afraid of the murderer. When they heard Qiao Yuan mention the murderer, their faces were either distorted or trembling with nervousness. They even tried to gesture, with their index and middle fingers on the back of their hands, like the two legs of a little man, running forward along the pale arms.
Obviously, these two ghosts also knew that Qiao Yuan was being targeted. Hu Mingxuan was signaling her to run quickly, preferably out of the kindergarten.
Qiao Yuan understood, and she wanted to run away, but the system didn't allow it.
Therefore, Qiao Yuan could only smile and say, "I won't run away from him."
Hu Mingxuan: !!!
So courageous!
But soon his eyes turned towards Qiao Yuan with some hesitation. After all, although Qiao Yuan seemed to know a lot like the teacher, she had to face the person who killed them.
Zhang Ying's eyes sparkled. She didn't understand what Qiao Yuan said, but she was more easily affected by the emotions in his words. She also repeated slowly: "No... I won't run..."
She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stomped her feet: "You can...stomp me to death..."
From her words and coordinated actions, Qiao Yuan guessed that she was talking about the incident of stepping on a cockroach to death. It seemed that this matter was more or less related to the other party, at least she saw that scene.
Qiao Yuan: "Did you release the cockroaches... the bugs?"
When she heard Qiao Yuan mention cockroaches, she was still confused, but when she heard the word insects, she nodded immediately. She frowned and looked distressed as if she was thinking. The cracked skull she had now really fits the description of racking her brains: "The gaze... looks like this insect... has crawled onto me..."
So that's how it is.
Qiao Yuan finally understood why the cockroach appeared. Zhang Ying felt that the murderer's gaze was like a cockroach crawling on her body.
Qiao Yuan asked a few questions that concerned him most. Some of Hu Mingxuan and Zhang Ying nodded or shook their heads, but some were also confused.
But for Qiao Yuan, she had collected enough information, so this was enough.
"This matter is much simpler than I thought ." Qiao Yuan looked at Zhang Ying and Hu Mingxuan: "Do you want the other party to also experience your pain?"
When a teacher came over, Hu Mingxuan and Zhang Ying had disappeared, leaving only Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui in the bathroom.
The moment he saw the two, the teacher's expression revealed a bit of surprise, and he quickly asked, "Have you seen little and little He Ze?"
She also went out of her way to describe the two's appearance, but unfortunately, Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui in front of her both shook their heads.
Although the teacher tried hard to hide it, a bit of disappointment still appeared on his face. He muttered to himself: "How can we not find it? It seems that we can only wait for the police to come..."
She looked back at the two of them and urged them to find their parents quickly: "The police will be here to take care of some things soon. You can go home with your parents soon..."
With two children missing, the graduation ceremony certainly could not go on, so they could only wait for the police to arrive. After questioning the parents and children at the scene, everyone else could leave.
However, this was not good news for Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui. After all, they had not yet stayed in the kindergarten for 48 hours.
Qiao Yuan did not delay any longer and immediately started to carry out the next plan with Sheng Yegui.
Now many parents have started to take their children to search for the missing He Ze and Wang Xiaoyang. They climbed to the top floor and finally found an empty corridor.
She took off her fisherman's hat, casually adjusted her backpack and put it on her chest, and then she and Sheng Yegui began to walk in the corridor in a pretentious manner.
Qiao Yuan soon felt the malicious gaze sliding across her exposed skin inch by inch. It was indeed a bit like the feeling of bugs crawling over her body that Zhang Ying mentioned.
She perked up.
Here we come!
Although Sheng Yegui didn't feel anything, he soon saw a figure walking towards them.
He was a thin, short, gray-haired old man, but he stood straight and looked very energetic, with a kind smile on his wrinkled face. After seeing Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui, he looked surprised, but still asked, "Children, why are you here?"
Sheng Yegui didn't say anything. Qiao Yuan grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and answered, "We need to go find Mom and Dad..."
Her voice was soft and tender, making the old man smile even more: "Then I'll take you there."
Perhaps noticing the vigilance revealed by Sheng Yegui, the old man smiled kindly: "I am Grandpa Wei, the gatekeeper. I always saw your parents coming to see you off before, so I know where your parents are."
"You don't remember grandpa, don't you remember this outfit?"
He even picked up the emblem of the Chunhuahua Kindergarten on his clothes and showed it to the two children.
Of course, the most important thing is to show it to Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan found this set of clothes in his memory, and it was indeed the clothes that the security guard often wore. It seemed that this old man was indeed a security guard, or had been a security guard.
"Grandpa, I believe in you. Let's go." Qiao Yuan smiled sweetly at the old man who called himself Grandpa Wei, and the old man also smiled: "Good boy."
He reached out his hand to Qiao Yuan, but Qiao Yuan refused to hold it: "Grandpa, I'm six years old now and can walk by myself."
The old man must have seen this kind of child who thinks he is not young at all when he is only a few years old countless times, so he did not doubt it. He just smiled and motioned Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui to follow.
The other party was obviously very patient. After noticing that Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui's pace had slowed down, he deliberately slowed down and waited for them.
I don’t know if it’s because he was not tall among his peers when he was a child and was laughed at and bullied by several people taller than him, but Wei Dong found that he liked girls who were shorter than him.
He had changed three wives. He beat and scolded the first two wives because he suspected that they were mocking him for being short and cheating on him. The two wives couldn't stand it and divorced and ran away. The third wife was a widow with a child. Because of her age and her son who was already a teenager and taller than him, he didn't dare to beat her anymore. They just lived together like this. However, he still had many dissatisfactions with his third wife and the child she brought up. He always felt empty inside.
It was not until Weidong was laid off that he felt his heart was filled when his old leader introduced him to the position of security guard at Chunhuahua Kindergarten because of his hard-working and down-to-earth attitude.
Of course, it was not because of the work, but because of those innocent little girls jumping around.
They were as fragile as newborn flower buds and would not pose any threat to him. They were also not like his previous two wives, who revealed dissatisfaction and sarcasm in their eyes when they first saw him. Instead, they would take the initiative to say hello, look at him with eyes full of dependence and expectation, and call him "Grandpa Wei" sweetly.
He also looked at these children, as if he was looking at the flowers planted in his back garden, thinking about which one he should pick. At first, it was just an idea in his mind, but soon this idea turned into an irresistible desire and broke through the barriers.
Due to the development of the Internet, the old man Weidong has been more or less exposed to the word pedophilia, but he does not think that he is a pedophile. He loves these little girls as women. Only these little girls can tolerate him and will not care about his height and appearance.
Taking advantage of his position as a security guard, he took the opportunity to touch the hands and legs of several little girls. These girls were not old enough to know what sexual harassment was, so he was never discovered. However, he gradually became dissatisfied with this.
He eventually chose a little girl named Zhang Ying as his first target.
The girl had a slight intellectual disability, and it took her a while to respond to other people's words. Therefore, even if he touched her, Zhang Ying would not be able to know what happened.
Most importantly, Zhang Ying's parents always came to pick her up just when the park was about to close, leaving Weidong with enough time to get started.
Weidong's opportunity soon came.
As the children were picked up by their parents one after another, he still didn't see Zhang Ying. He walked from the guard booth to the teaching building while on patrol, and saw two children in Zhang Ying's classroom, and a teacher who looked anxious and was on the phone.
Weidong knew the teacher's situation. Her husband was on a business trip, and her child was sick and had to be given an IV drip, so she could only take care of him after she got off work. But because there were still two children in the class, she couldn't leave even after work. When she called Zhang Ying and Hu Mingxuan's parents, she could only get a reply of "I'll be there soon, thank you for your hard work, teacher."
It was at this time that Weidong appeared and offered to look after the two children for the teacher until their parents came to pick them up.
Wei Dong knew that the teacher in front of him would not refuse. Not to mention that his appearance solved her urgent problem, he has always had a good reputation in the kindergarten. He is honest, down-to-earth and capable. He often helps the teacher carry heavy objects and clean the kindergarten. Everyone from the kindergarten principal to the teachers likes him very much.
Sure enough, the teacher agreed quickly.
Wei Dong's plan was simple, he just wanted to have some close contact with Zhang Ying, but he didn't expect that Hu Mingxuan, who had been staying with Zhang Ying, would become an obstacle.
At first, he did not take the child seriously. He just wanted to trick Zhang Ying into going to the bathroom with him by using a kind face. However, he did not expect that the little boy would follow him secretly. He even found that he was taking off Zhang Ying's clothes. He immediately wanted to run away with Zhang Ying and prepared to call other people to come.
However, despite hiding from place to place, the two were eventually caught. Seeing that the little boy was still about to shout, he felt guilty and was afraid that the other party would really call his colleagues in the guard booth over, so he used the knife in his pocket to cut the other party's throat.
The little boy finally stopped screaming.
Wei Dong did not stop, and out of anger that his plan did not go as he expected, he continued to cut open the other person's belly.
Zhang Ying was frightened by this scene and burst into tears.
At this point, Wei Dong knew there was no turning back, so he quickly killed Zhang Ying again, hid the body, and went to the guard booth to destroy the surveillance.
Hu Mingxuan and Zhang Ying's parents still came to pick up their children when the park was about to close, just like in the past, but this time they were unable to pick up their children.
Weidong was arrested on the third day, and then he was interrogated and searched for evidence until all the evidence was presented. Unexpectedly, when he was taken to the identification scene, he was stabbed seriously by Zhang Ying's father, and he lay in the hospital in pain for a long time before he died.
Until his death, Wei Dong was still regretting Hu Mingxuan's sudden appearance and Zhang Ying's non-cooperation, which led to his current situation.
He should have chosen the more well-behaved child.
Fortunately, death is not the end. Wei Dong felt that he had just taken a nap, and when he woke up, he found himself back in kindergarten.
This was two years after he committed the crime, and the children who were the same age as Hu Mingxuan and Zhang Ying were about to graduate.
The principal was standing on the stage and speaking, and the children were sitting below. Weidong was standing in the teaching building as usual, observing the children without restraint.
The first person he saw was Wang Xiaoyang, who was crying with tears in her eyes, the kind of weakness he liked.
And he finally succeeded.
The second person he saw was Qiao Yuan, the most beautiful child he had ever seen. If the fisherman's hat hadn't been blown off by the wind, he would have almost ignored her. He remembered that he had paid attention to her before, but it was a pity that Qiao Yuan's parents were watching her closely, so it was difficult to do anything .
Weidong also knew that the kindergarten had noticed the disappearance of Wang Xiaoyang and He Ze, and the police would be on their way soon.
He originally thought that Qiao Yuan would be taken away by his parents soon, and was worrying about how to start. He didn't expect that the other party would come to him on his own initiative. It was simply a godsend opportunity.
Although Qiao Yuan was accompanied by a little boy who followed him closely, Wei Dong was not worried. After all, he had just dealt with a little boy yesterday.
He couldn't help but trace Qiao Yuan's profile with his eyes.
As if noticing his gaze, Qiao Yuan also turned to look over, his eyes kind: "Grandpa Wei, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It's just that seeing you reminds me of my granddaughter. She is about the same age as you..." Wei Dong spoke of his non-existent granddaughter without blushing or beating his heart. This incident could easily lower other people's vigilance.
Sure enough, Qiao Yuan did not doubt it and gave him a comforting smile.
Simple and gullible.
Wei Dong tried hard to suppress the curl of his lips.
