Criminal Investigation Notes

Nineteen years ago, in September.

Bai Luo Rui, who was only eleven years old, wore a little white skirt and lay on the windowsill, looking out the window of the nursing home.From her angle, you can see a small patch of green on the grass.

The old people had their supper early. It was close to dusk, and as soon as the sky showed the color of sunset, they all finished their meal and walked in twos and threes from the cafeteria outside to their sleeping place.

Most of the old people were hard-earned and spoke loudly, making the yard noisy.In front of Bai Luo Rui was a soundproof glass window, through the window, she could still hear some intermittent voices.

The scenery outside the window was monotonous and boring, but Bai Luo Rui looked attentively, quietly, and motionless.

Grandpa went to the cafeteria to return the dinner plates. He would take this opportunity to catch his breath, chat with other old people, stay for a while and then come back. Grandma was already in bed early, and she simply washed it, so she doesn’t need to take care of it. .In the time of the day, only this time is Bai Luo Rui's own.

Grandpa always talked about it. Their family was lucky enough. When grandma and grandma came to the nursing home together, they happened to have two vacant beds. So, grandpa and grandma had one room. Later, because her parents were divorced, she also moved in at night. Sleep with grandma in the same bed.

Bai Luorui seemed to have heard her mother talk to her grandfather before, that her grandma had a very serious illness, like lung cancer or something, lying at home and waiting for death, and waiting for death in the hospital, it is better to go to the nursing home and wait for death.There are more elderly people here who can enjoy the sun and chat, maybe grandma's health can be better.

Grandpa insisted on taking care of his grandma by himself, and did not let people send her to the intensive care unit.

However, my grandmother's body did not get better. On the contrary, under the circumstance of the day, sometimes she would have a fever at night, and her body next to Bai Luo Rui was hot, covered with sticky sweat.It's extremely difficult, she will scream out.Sometimes when I disturb other people, a doctor will come over and give her an injection.But Bai Luo Rui knew that those drugs could not save her at all, and at best delayed her condition, allowing her to live a bit longer.

Now, Bai Luo Rui could hear her grandma's breathing. Grandma should be trying to fall asleep, but her breathing seemed to be pulling a bellows, making a heavy whirr.The air in the room became dirty, and there was a strange smell, which was sickness and aging. Fortunately, she was already familiar with all this.

People, why are they getting old?Why would he die?

Bai Luo Rui was thinking about this problem, thinking about it intently.

There was a bright whistle at the door, which was a signal between Wei Hong and her.Bai Luo Rui's eyes moved, and she withdrew her gaze. Although it was near dusk, outside the window was bright.The room was dim, no lights were turned on, and the curtains were drawn to block out all the sunlight.No way, grandma doesn't like sunlight, so the curtains are always drawn.Only a small piece of the window can feel a bit of light.

Bai Luo Rui got used to the dimness of the room before walking out, her grandma’s coughing sound came from behind her. She had been awake just now: "Let’s talk less with the kid surnamed Wei. You learn from the kid who comes here often. , I don’t forget to study hard every day..."

In this yard, Wei Hong is a stinky boy who is tossing around. He has poor grades and skips school. The kid who is often brought over is a stranger. Bai Luo Rui doesn't know whose child he is, only that he occasionally appears. In the nursing home.

In the past few months, I have seen him every month. He is white and beautiful. He is a clean boy. He is polite and polite. He is a good boy among all the old people.Bai Luo Rui liked him, he had a nice smell on his body, which was different from the smell of these old people.She asked him, and he said that his surname was Gu, Gu Zhibai.

Bai Luo Rui walked forward, pretending not to hear the words behind her, she 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 these two friends was twelve years old this year and the other was only nine years old. Wei Hong was holding a frog caught today. Because he was running in the yard all the year round, he was tanned, but the white of his eyes was shining.When the two saw her coming, Wei Hong got up and threw the frog on the ground. He raised his head and said to Bai Luo Rui, "You really decided? Go to Doctor Xia?"

Bai Luo Rui nodded. After dinner today, this was the time they had agreed long ago.

Du Ruoxin took Bai Luorui's hand, remembering her previous plan, she retreated a little: "I'm afraid, let's not go..."

"You promised me a long time ago. Doesn't it count if you want to talk now?" Bai Luo Rui's voice was still childish, but what she said was like a little adult, her expression was full of contempt, she was afraid of attracting adults. She lowered her voice in Du Ruoxin's ear and said, "You are always like this, your parents kept you here, coward!"

This sentence seemed to have stabbed and scratched Du Ruoxin. After hearing Bai Luo Rui's words, she lowered her head sadly.

"It's up to you to go or not." Bai Luo Rui took a few steps forward and turned to look at the two little friends behind him, "If you are afraid, it is still too late to go back."

"What you do, I will follow you." After Wei Hong finished speaking, he followed her forward, his eyes sparkling in the dim corridor.His studies were not good, and at first the other children in this yard isolated him and did not play with him.

Wei Hong had no friends until Bai Luo Rui came.She would suddenly pull up his hand, the girl's hand was white and soft, and she would carefully wipe the wounds left by the fight.

Regarding Bai Luo Rui, Wei Hong always followed blindly regardless of right or wrong.In his eyes, the little girl was like a princess. Since she was a princess, there should be a knight to protect her.

Du Ruoxin snorted a few times and followed.Among the children in the nursing home, she is the youngest and courageous, but she has always been Bai Luo Rui's follower.She didn't want to just leave it alone and be left behind by her best friend.Moreover, she feels that Bai Luo Rui is right. Her parents must hate her for being timid and weak, so they left her here. If she can do anything shocking, maybe they will look at her more.

The three people walked up to the doctor's and nurse's building. They knocked on Xia's unknown door as usual. The doctor was taking a rest tonight. They were all very familiar with the dormitory with only a dozen square meters.

Xia Weiqi just took off the white clothes she had worn for a day, and changed into her normal clothes. She was exquisite and gentle and intellectual.With a smile on her face, she stood up and poured water on them: "How did you guys come here today? Are you here to ask about homework?"

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

"Doctor Xia, I want to ask you something." Bai Luo Rui's voice was clear and serious, as if he had made a major decision. Wei Hong and Du Ruoxin stood by, not daring to speak.

Xia Weiqi turned his head and looked at the child.She recognizes her, this child is surnamed Bai, with precocious maturity above age.She is also very beautiful, such a little girl will still get a lot of preferential treatment even in this gloomy nursing home.

Xia Weiwei asked Bai Luo Rui: "What do you want me to do?"

Bai Luo Rui's face was calm and not suitable for her age. She said every word and said seriously: "I want you to help me kill my grandma."

Xia Weiqi was stunned for a moment before he was sure that he had not heard it wrong. This only a few-year-old child had a serious and determined expression. She didn't seem to think what she said was terrifying to the world, and the two little friends around him, the boy was silent. , The other girl was obviously a little nervous, and she seemed to feel the change in her mood, Bai Luo Rui took her hand.

The children have been planning for a long time.

Xia Weiqi looked at her, her eyes gradually changed, her expression changed from the initial softness to a little indifferent: "Why make this request?"

Bai Luo Rui clenched her fists, and her palms were sweaty: "That was my grandma's wish. She told me more than once that she wanted to die and she couldn't live on her own. I hope you can help me to achieve I only have one request for her wish, which is to make her die as painless as possible."

Grandma trapped herself and also trapped her. Since grandma fell ill, Bai Luo Rui has not slept for a whole night. She goes to school during the day and helps her grandpa take care of the sick when she comes back from school.The seriously ill grandmother is sensitive and irritable, and becomes furious when she feels unsatisfactory. Sometimes she will cry hysterically.She closed all the curtains, unwilling to talk to people.She said that her life shouldn't be like this, she said she lived enough, and she said she wanted to die more than once.

"Do you think it's good for her to kill her?" Xia Weiwei took the water in her hand. She used a disposable paper cup. It was originally poured for these children, but now she didn't pass it to them. She bowed her head. Take a sip.

Although she killed people, she knew exactly what she was doing. These children, those who were just over ten years old, did not know what these words meant.

Although Xia Weiqi sometimes hates herself, she still has a trace of humanity. She doesn't want to involve these children. She shook her head and refused: "I am a doctor here and a person who treats diseases. I cannot promise you. I don’t know why you have such a request."

Xia Weiwei put down the water cup in his hand: "Let's go, after you get out of this door, don't tell anyone such silly things."

Bai Luo Rui seemed to have expected to be rejected a long time ago. She raised her head and looked at Xia Weiqi, with aggressive eyes: "We know your secret. If you don't promise me, I will tell you what you did in the Intensive Care Unit. Policemen."

Xia Weiwei's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, what did I do in the intensive care unit?"

"You killed someone there." Bai Luo Rui said solemnly, "We saw you knock the nail into the top of the old man's head and inject the potion into it."

The room was quiet for a while.

Du Ruoxin felt goose bumps on her arm.She looked at Bai Luo Rui with some fear, regretting telling them what had happened before.

Once they played hide-and-seek, Du Ruoxin hid under the curtain of a patient in the Intensive Care Unit. Xu was because she was small and thin. Xia Weiwei did not notice her existence. She heard a sound of footsteps in the room and saw Xia Weiwei came to the bedside and injected something into the old man after torture. The paralyzed old man could only make an ahhh sound weakly, accepting such harsh torture.

Later, Xia Weiwei recorded these in his notebook.

The horrified Du Ruoxin told her two best friends about this. Liushen Wuzhu hoped that they could tell the adults together, but Bai Luo Rui told her to keep silent.

From that day on, they began to pay attention to Dr. Xia's whereabouts. Every time Xia Weiwei went to the intensive care unit alone, an old man would die, and there would be more scars on his body.They determined that Xia Weiqi was doing secret things here.

She is killing!

She is experimenting how to kill!

At that time, Doctor Xia's eyes were as they are now, terribly cold, almost beyond recognition by those who knew her.

Xia Weiqi looked down at Bai Luo Rui with interest: "Do you know what you are talking about? Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

Bai Luo Rui said: "If I came alone, it might be. But now we have three people. If you want to kill me, they will immediately run out and call someone. Even if you kill us all in the future, they will definitely Arouse others' suspicion, you would not do this."

It is normal for the elderly to die in the nursing homes. The death of children, and the death of three children at once, will definitely attract people's attention.She has no way to get rid of them together, as long as someone is still alive, she can spread her secret.

Xia Weiqi laughed: "So this is why you brought your little friend here?" Then she looked at the three children in front of her, her tone of voice relaxed, as if the things everyone talked about were just jokes, "I I haven’t done anything. If you want to say it, just say it. Those old people died naturally. See if the police believe what you said or believe what I said. You’d better go back now, otherwise I will get along. Your parents complained."

Du Ruoxin pulled La Weihong to get up, but Bai Luo Rui did not move there: "Doctor Xia...then I will tell the old people about this, let them know that you are going to kill them, when there will be someone Come to investigate." She looked directly into Xia Weiqi's eyes, "Even if they can't find evidence for a while, they will definitely be on guard and be careful of you. You can never kill people here again."

What she said is not wrong. Once the immediate interests are related to their own lives, people will pay more attention. The police will not believe the words of the children, but will believe the words of the elderly.Even if it was just rumors, it was a weapon that could kill people, not to mention that she might have left clues somewhere.

Bai Luo Rui stared at Xia Weiqi closely. She didn't like her. She thought she was cruel and sick, but she needed such a teacher.She wants to get what she needs and do what she wants to do.

Xia Weiqi looked down at Bai Luo Rui. In the eyes of this child, she saw something different. The feeling was like a beast foraging met the same kind. She was a little shaken: "If I do What are the benefits?"

Bai Luo Rui knew that her chance was coming, and now, she must convince Xia Weifang. She blinked, with the child’s innocence on her face, but she was very serious: "I can do things for you. Even said, we can help you. Do things. We are children, not so noticeable, we can help you follow and do a lot of things that you can't do alone."

Xia Weiqi looked at them and seemed to be considering whether to promise her: "But how do you make me believe that you will keep secrets?"

Bai Luo Rui’s voice was clear: "We knew you were killing people a long time ago, but we didn’t tell the adults. This is our choice. Now that we are involved in ourselves, then we are accomplices and confess you. We will also be implicated."

"What about you two?" Xia Weifang asked again.

"I'll follow her." The boy said quickly, his tone was a little proud, as if he was doing something exciting and brave, "Isn't it a dead person? I live with my grandfather in this nursing home, five years old. I have seen dead people back then. Some old people are just waste of resources."

Du Ruoxin rolled her eyes and looked at her two little friends. She twisted her body, and her ambition made her unwilling to lag behind: "I...I can help you watch the wind. That is what I do best. I hide and seek. , They can't find me."

Xia Weiqi stared at the three children in front of him, Tong Yan Wuji. They seemed to have no idea that they were actively inviting, becoming accomplices, and executioners. They also did not know what life they would face in the future.

Xia Weiqi was silent for a few seconds, then she nodded and looked at Bai Luo Rui: "Well, I can help you."

On that day, their lives changed.

Since then, Bai Luo Rui has seen many deaths. Sometimes the death of one person is a long and tortuous process. It takes months or even years. The years are like a very late knife, one by one. The flesh and blood are cut from the human body, as long as there is a breath, as long as the heart is still beating, as long as the brain waves are not in a straight line, you can linger.

Sometimes killing a person is an extremely simple process. It only requires an injection, a rope, and a knife. In a few minutes, the soul is like liquid in a container, leaking away, and life is gone. , Yin and Yang are separated.

She stayed with Xia Weiqi for a whole year.Like a best student, he not only learned all the methods Xia Weijie did, but he was also blue.

But, she still has one more thing to do...

In August of that year, Bai Luo Rui, who was only twelve years old, made an anonymous call to the police.

The devil should go to hell.She was sure that there was no trace of what she had done, and she was confident that even if Xia Weiwei was arrested, she would not confess them and implicate them.That woman is like a madman, and no one will believe those crazy things and the things they have participated in.

Since then, the matter of Wushan nursing home has finally been revealed.

Even said that the inquiry Bai Luo Rui was afraid of did not come. Xia Weiwei was missing. She did not know where she fled. No one knew that they had been involved in those things. They were safe...

Nineteen years later.

Bai Luo Rui sitting in the car looked out of the car as if she was a child.

The car stopped when passing a red light. Bai Luo Rui, who broke free from the memory, looked up and looked up. Longyue Pension City is about to arrive. From this perspective, it is really very similar to Wushan Nursing Home.

The bustling city showed a reflection on the car window. In the traffic, the car whistle was a bit harsh. Bai Luo Rui looked at the building in a daze, and she remembered that she helped Xia Weiqi hold her grandma's hand. .At that time, grandma looked at her. It was obviously the quickest potion to take effect, but the blue veins on her neck were exposed and her eyes were protruding. She hesitated for several seconds before she died. Finally, she called her: "Lori!"

That was the last sentence that grandma said.

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

At this moment, Bai Luo Rui looked down at her hand. She unconsciously turned the bracelet on her hand. It was the relic left by her grandma. She brought it from the age of ten to the present. With the passage of time, this bracelet has long been When she was young, she couldn't bear to take it off.

The grandma at that time should be pleasantly surprised.

Grandma just doesn't have time. Listen to her to make it clear. If she understands, she will smile like she did every time after 100 points in the exam. She hugged her and said, "My Lori did a great job."

She wouldn't blame her, grandma was so painful and uncomfortable, she always told her that she was going to die, she wanted to die.

What she did was just to end this pain as she wished.

She was brought up by her grandma since she was a child. She loved her grandma, even more than others. Only she understood her pain, and only she could help her end that pain!

After growing up, Bai Luo Rui discovered that there are tens of millions of families in this world, and many people have to endure this kind of pain.

Life can be measured by a formula. When pain is greater than joy, when you are powerless on the edge of terminal illness, when you are old enough to drag everyone down...

People should die when they are damned.

But some people want to die, but they don’t have the courage to die, and they don’t know how to do it. There is no one to help them. How helpless and pitiful are those struggling old people and those families who are stuck in the mud?So she came to help him and help them. This is what she is doing now. This is a great thing and something she has to do.

She and Xia Weiqi are completely different. Her heart is kind, which frees those people from suffering.

Bai Luo Rui sighed and looked out of the car window. The car was about to stop and her destination was about to arrive.

She sat up straight and looked forward, Bai Luo Rui was still thinking about the question in her heart, and has not found the answer to this day: why do people get old?Why would he die?
