Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Rui looked at the younger children in the Children’s Home with some sympathy. Every child looked so innocent, but it was precisely because of this innocence and bliss that made people feel sorry for them.

Zhang Rui understood that the children here probably had relatively tragic backgrounds.

“There are also younger children. Some children were abandoned for various reasons not long after they were born.” Yin Tao had been to the Children’s Home many times and had learned about the children’s background from the teachers.

Many children were abandoned. They no longer had anyone to rely on in this world.

Under the arrangement of the teacher, Yin Tao and Zhang Rui quickly met Xu Shan. From Teacher Xiaozhang’s description, Xu Shan had not been in a good state recently.

Ever since the accident with the girl in the same dormitory, Xu Shan had become even more taciturn.

Yin Tao could understand Xu Shan’s feelings. It wasn’t easy for a girl to be willing to be friends with her, and yet such a thing had happened. Xu Shan’s already sensitive and fragile heart naturally couldn’t take such a huge blow. “Officer Yin, how’s the progress of the previous case? If that murderer isn’t caught, the entire Children’s Home won’t be able to rest easy.” Teacher Xiaozhang looked at Yin Tao worriedly. After the accident, she was also very afraid, but there was nothing she could do.

“Teacher Xiaozhang, just call me Xiaotao.” Yin Tao knew that Teacher Xiaozhang had seen her come to the crime scene to collect evidence, so she thought that she should be aware of the progress of the case.

“Linjiang Branch is handling this case. I’m not too sure about the details, but the police will definitely do their best to catch the murderer.”

Yin Tao knew that no matter what she said would seem feeble. Everyone wouldn’t be able to help but worry about the murderer.

“The police have already strengthened the security of the Children’s Home. However, as long as we don’t catch the criminal, we’re still on tenterhooks. After all, there are too many children in the Home. We’re really worried that something will happen again.”

Teacher Xiaozhang frowned. She had not slept well for a long time because of what happened. Everyone at the Children’s Home felt sad when they thought of what happened to that child.

Yin Tao didn’t know how to comfort Teacher Xiaozhang. She couldn’t wait to catch the murderer, but her ability was limited, so Yin Tao couldn’t personally investigate this case.

“Although Shanshan is young, she’s actually very sensible. Although we tried our best to hide Xiaoying’s murder from the children, I know that Shanshan is more upset than anyone else.”

Teacher Xiaozhang pointed to the innermost bed in the dormitory. Yin Tao and Zhang Rui saw a small figure sitting by the bed.

“Xu Shan became even quieter now. See if you can communicate with her. The director has already contacted a psychiatrist for her and a series of tests and treatments have been done, but it’s still ineffective.”

Yin Tao looked at Xu Shan’s lonely backview from outside the door, and a wave of sorrow surged in her heart. This child had experienced too many things that shouldn’t happen to a child her age, so it was inevitable that she would have psychological problems.

“Teacher Xiaozhang, we will have a chat with Shanshan. You can go and do your work first.” Yin Tao knew that the Children’s Home had always been short on manpower, so she didn’t want to hold Teacher Xiaozhang back.

“If there’s anything, you can call me anytime. This way the child can speak with you a little more.” Teacher Little Zhang sighed helplessly. Xu Shan’s attitude towards Yin Tao had always been very good. She was more at ease to let them stay.

“Sister Xiaotao?” Xu Shan noticed the voice at the door and turned around to see Yin Tao standing beside Zhang Rui.

“Shanshan, I brought a new friend to see you today.” Yin Tao walked to Xu Shan’s side and squatted down to introduce Zhang Rui to Xu Shan. “This pretty sister is also here to see you. You can call her Sister Xiaorui.”

Zhang Rui looked at the little girl in front of her. She was obviously a little thin, and she suddenly started tearing. If nothing had happened to Xu Rui and his wife, this child would have been leading a happy life.

“Shanshan, I’ve prepared many gifts for you. I’ll get Teacher Xiaozhang to bring you to get them later, okay?” Zhang Rui realized that Xu Shan was a little afraid of her and squatted down to communicate with her with a smile.

Yin Tao could also tell that Xu Shan was still a little afraid of strangers. She gently hugged her and comforted her, “Sister Xiaorui is my good friend. She also likes you very much.. Let’s play together, okay?”
