☆, 80, Siren Orphanage
"Where is the orphanage?" After hearing the man utter the word Siren, Yu Jiuyin immediately focused his attention, and Rongqing also put down the work in his hands and came over.
“I don’t remember… No one can find it, not even those who escaped.” With this man’s narration, the mystery of this place was finally revealed.
"There is no heaven anywhere, and there is no Virgin Mary, only monsters, endless monsters. Children are adopted every month, but who knows what they are taken away? And those who are not adopted will not survive, because evil spirits and monsters will come to find you at night. It was an accident that I was able to catch the dream fox, so I have been hiding my identity since I ran away. But it's useless, they will find me, sooner or later. No good will come to anyone who runs away, none of them!" The man's voice suddenly became shrill, and Yu Jiuyin's magic failed at this moment.
After he came to his senses, he stared at Yu Jiuyin's face and suddenly laughed, "Hahahahaha, it's you, it's actually you! Hahahaha, so funny! How could it be you!"
"Do you know me?" Yu Jiuyin frowned, sensitively realizing that something was wrong. After being freed from the control of the witchcraft, the man's soul was actually disintegrating.
"I don't know you, but I've seen you ten years ago." The man, already at the end of his strength, stared at Yu Jiuyin for a long while, and finally laughed breathlessly, "If I had known you would become so beautiful now, I should have captured you ten years ago as a collection. It's too late, too late..."
"Rongrong, find a way to shock his soul."
Rong Qing understood Yu Jiuyin's intention. A powerful ghostly aura instantly enveloped the man's body. His rapidly disintegrating soul was stunned by Rong Qing's ghostly aura, seemingly frozen in place. Yu Jiuyin inserted three silver needles, attempting to stabilize the man's soul.
But it's completely useless.
He was already extremely weak from the backlash of his sorcery, and had long since reached the point of dying. It was Yu Jiuyin who used a substitute to forcibly lock his soul within the shell, allowing him to linger on until now.
"There's nothing I can do." Yu Jiuyin sighed, put away the silver needle and stood up.
Rong Qing shook his head. "No, he's already said a lot. Give me some time, I can find it out."
"How are you looking for it?" Yu Jiuyin asked curiously. Although this person had given a lot of information about the Siren Orphanage, none of it provided a specific location. Furthermore, this person was insane and his words were incoherent. Yu Jiuyin couldn't figure out how Rongqing was going to uncover the orphanage.
"It's simple, process of elimination." Rong Qing listed all the cases related to the Siren Orphanage.
Wu Qu of Bagua Tower, whose father came from an orphanage, was a magician.
Skin peeling mirror girl, janitor from orphanage, witchcraft.
Death Game, the script comes from an orphanage, witchcraft.
Wang family jade pendant, the jade pendant comes from an orphanage, witchcraft.
The illegitimate fan murder case, the dream fox from the orphanage, and witchcraft.
"These people have different identities, but they all have one thing in common."
"Rich people!" Yu Jiuyin suddenly reacted.
Wu Qu, needless to say, had been chipping away at the Xu family's wealth for generations, making him a respectable figure in City B. The mastermind behind the death game had won the lottery, making him a nouveau riche. As for the Wang family, needless to say, they were wealthy and powerful. As for the illegitimate fan they'd caught, owning a bar in City B, a land so expensive, meant he couldn't possibly be a poor, broke family. Rongqing checked his account and saw at least 10 million in it. But that school worker...
"Demolition." Rong Qing sighed. "The school worker's family only appears to be frugal. In fact, they received over five million yuan in demolition compensation, and were allocated seven houses."
"So you're saying this orphanage was targeted?"
"No, what I mean is that these people might all be abandoned children from the orphanage. It's like this orphanage is deliberately breeding children with special abilities. Children who have no hope of being successfully bred and who don't involve too many experiments will be abandoned. For example, the evil magic in the hands of those people we captured is probably compensation for being abandoned."
"From what that person said, there are children being taken away every month. Perhaps those who are taken away are those who are unqualified and abandoned. As for the mastermind behind the Jingfeng case, claiming to be a defector, it's very likely an illusion, or that he has been implanted with false memories. He didn't escape, but was abandoned. Menghu is his compensation."
"Do you remember the guy who took the script in the Death Game? He also claimed to have stolen it, but his identity doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Comparing it further, everyone here is actually like this."
"How did Wu Qu and his son, so helpless and helpless, find the opportunity to interfere with the Bagua Building project and harm the Xu family in the first place? And that skin-stripping woman, how could she have hidden six lives so secretly? The subsequent death game was clearly posted online, but there is no trace of it. Who erased it? The remaining Wang family case and the current case's powerful and omnipotent fans are even more inconsistent."
"Indeed." Yu Jiuyin agreed with Rongqing's statement. "Jingfeng is a movie star, and his wife's infidelity went unnoticed even by the paparazzi. How come the illegitimate fans are so sure of it? Plus, we've searched nearly all of China before and still haven't found anything. This suggests two things: either the orphanage is inaccessible to ordinary people, like on the sea or underground. Or, the current director of the Siren Orphanage is unusual, perhaps even possessing extraordinary power."
"No, there is another possibility." Rong Qing shook his head, "It's both."
"I thought the same thing." Yu Jiuyin followed the doubts Rong Qing had sorted out and deduced, "Everyone involved in the orphanage, whether they escaped or had a vague past, all have identities that allow them to gain a legitimate foothold in society. And they have had these identities for more than ten years. From this point, it can be seen that the director of the Siren Orphanage at least has connections in the system."
"That's why I said this is easy to investigate. He needs money, connections, and a location. Not many people meet all three of these requirements. Also, that person said he saw you ten years ago. I remember you were in City K ten years ago, right? And he left the orphanage ten years ago and went to City K, which means the Siren Orphanage should be located not far from City K. Adding this to the mix, the remaining clues are even smaller. So what we have to do now is to investigate slowly without alerting the enemy!"
"Well, you do have a point." Yu Jiuyin's original anxiety disappeared instantly. "But I'm curious, what kind of children does this orphanage want to cultivate? Are there evil spirits or monsters every night? Are they training heavenly masters?"
However, Rong Qing's heart moved, and he suddenly asked Yu Jiuyin: "Jiuyin, do you know who your parents are?"
Rong Qing and Yu Jiuyin had different ideas. In fact, the previous case had made him suspicious, wondering if Yu Jiuyin was related to the orphanage. And the things the mastermind confessed this time only deepened his doubts.
Each of these abandoned people happened to be involved in the evil magic that Yu Jiuyin knew or was even proficient in. They were like being tied together by a string and forcibly pushed in front of Yu Jiuyin.
It was more of an inquiry than a threat. It seemed as if the other party was trying to determine Yu Jiuyin's strength and bottom line.
If that's the case, maybe Yu Jiuyin himself came from that orphanage, but was taken back by his master for some unknown reason, or maybe his master himself had problems.
Rong Qing's frown deepened. He had never met Yu Jiuyin's master, but he was certain that in the metaphysical world, even the founder of Yu Jiuyin and his Ghost Dao Celestial Master couldn't master all of these things at the same time.
However, Yu Jiuyin's words made his thoughts even more confused.
"I know!" Yu Jiuyin looked at Rongqing strangely, as if he didn't understand why he asked that.
"Aren't you an orphan?" Rong Qing frowned. He vaguely remembered hearing Yu Jiuyin mention before that he had no parents and was picked up and raised by his master.
"I can't really say that. I can only say that my parents are still alive, but in fact, I am almost an orphan." Yu Jiuyin directly told Rongqing two names, "Yu Mingwei and Shen Tianlan."
Rong Qing frowned. "Yu Yongqing is you..."
"He's my biological brother, but in their eyes, I might not be considered a member of the Yu family. I don't even have a different last name." Yu Jiuyin smiled faintly and changed the subject nonchalantly. "What's wrong, Rongrong? Are you in a hurry to meet his parents? Then I'll take you up the mountain to see my master after the case is concluded."
However, Rong Qing suddenly reached out and hugged Yu Jiuyin, because he probably knew what happened in Yu Jiuyin's past.
The Yu family is considered one of China's most prestigious and established families. Yu Jiuyin's father, Yu Mingwei, is the current heir to the Yu family. However, the Yu family has been in turmoil for the past two years, with two major events having recently occurred.
The first incident was 25 years ago, when the Yu family's eldest son was inexplicably abducted from the hospital less than 20 days after his birth. The second incident was four years ago, when Yu Mingwei's only son, Yu Yongqing, met with an accident while out playing with his classmates. There were six students who went to the Fox Fairy Temple together at the time, but when the temple collapsed, the remaining five died inside. Only Yu Yongqing survived and was rescued by locals. However, he did not get better after returning. He was idiotic during the day and had a crazy craving for human flesh at night. Everyone said he was possessed by an evil spirit.
At the time, everyone in the circle was saying that Yu Yongqing was hopeless, and that Yu Mingwei had no luck with children. His eldest son had been stolen at birth, and his second son had become insane. Rongqing vaguely remembered someone in the Yu family approaching him, asking him to help. But Rongqing was busy with a case at the time and couldn't leave abroad, so he turned it down.
But when he went to inquire about it again after the case was closed, he heard from his subordinates that Yu Yongqing was fine. Coincidentally, on the same night that Yu Yongqing recovered, another college student about the same age as Yu Yongqing was rushed to the emergency room and apparently lay in bed for half a year before being able to get out of bed.
Ever since Rong Qing suspected the orphanage might be deliberately targeting Yu Jiuyin, he'd privately investigated his situation. He discovered that, while Yu Jiuyin hadn't previously joined the Metaphysics Association, he often helped resolve incidents. But then, four years ago, he suddenly disappeared. He even dropped out of university, never continuing his studies.
And when I came out of the Taoist temple again, it was now.
Then there's Yu Jiuyin's physical condition. Rongqing feels that Yu Jiuyin isn't being lazy on purpose; he's simply not keeping up, especially with the excessive use of some ghostly formations. It looks like he has an old injury.
With this reasoning, Rongqing immediately understood how Yu Yongqing was saved. It was likely because Yu Jiuyin was young at the time and believed the Yu family's story of being stolen. Furthermore, he was gentle and had been cared for by his master since childhood, so he didn't have much resentment. It was only natural that he would risk his life to save Yu Yongqing out of concern for his family.
Finally, the truth was revealed. The Yu family was just attracted by his good ability, or they had some kind of agreement with the thing on Yu Yongqing's body, and wanted to sacrifice their eldest son in exchange for the life of their younger son!
The result... after using it, it is thrown away casually.
"Pretty much." Yu Jiuyin knew what Rongqing was thinking from his expression and briefly recounted what happened back then. "They hated me from the moment I was born because I was a monster. Through the reflection of my pupils, they could see many things that didn't belong to this world."
"Maybe he loved me at first, so he asked a so-called master for help. But the conclusion he came to was that I was born with the ability to see ghosts and gods, and it couldn't be changed. Then I was stolen. Then the child thief got into trouble in the mountains, and my master picked me up."
"When we met later about Yu Yongqing's matter, it wasn't him who came to me, but I went to him." Yu Jiuyin curled the corners of his lips sarcastically.
Yu Jiuyin took a Feng Shui job and went to G City. When he was leaving, a good friend of his in G City insisted on treating him to a meal.
Yu Jiuyin, this close friend of his, was well-known in City G as a top Feng Shui master. So when Yu Yongqing first got into trouble, the Yu family approached him, but he had no solution. So when they heard Yu Jiuyin was coming, they wanted to ask him to go take a look.
"Isn't it interesting? The first time I saw Shen Tianlan, I knew she was my mother. But Shen Tianlan only reluctantly acknowledged me after doing five paternity tests."
Yu Jiuyin still remembers the scene of their first meeting. Shen Tianlan held his hand and almost knelt down to him.
"Young Master, please, I only have this one son left. I can't live without him!" Shen Tianlan cried bitterly, and the sad tone made Yu Jiuyin's heart ache.
Coupled with the sentence that there was only this one son left, Yu Jiuyin felt that a mother who cared so much about her child, how could she be a bad person? He even felt sorry for Shen Tianlan, thinking that Shen Tianlan had been particularly filial and thoughtful because he had been unable to sleep all night for so many years.
But ultimately, it was all because he was too young. The Yu family wasn't a very good family, and Yu Jiuyin was in her early twenties at the time, with a youthful face. Her overly pretty features were perceived as frivolous by the public.
Even if the Yu family was desperate, they wouldn't just turn to Yu Jiuyin as their savior. It was clear that they had been investigating his past from the moment he entered the family.
Including the friend of different ages who seemed to have no intention of dragging Yu Jiuyin to the Yu family, he was also bribed by the Yu family.
"I was so stupid at the time, thinking it was a caution to recover what I had lost. In fact, Shen Tianlan simply didn't want to admit that I was still alive. But she couldn't do anything, because I was the only one who could save her son's life! Even my master couldn't do it."
"Stop talking." Rongqing felt uncomfortable.
Yu Jiuyin, on the other hand, comforted him, "It's okay, Rongrong. You really don't have to worry about me. Those things are in the past. If we're not destined to be together, I won't force it."
"I know, that's why I'm heartbroken. Jiuyin, when will you think more about yourself?" Rongqing tightened her grip around Yu Jiuyin's arm. Yu Jiuyin said it so casually, as if it were someone else's business. But what Rongqing saw was the desolate scene of Yu Jiuyin, a young man full of admiration for his parents, sacrificing his life for a tenderness that simply could not exist.
They were both his biological sons. How cruel could the Yu family be to have the heart to lie to him like this? And how cruel could Yu Jiuyin's friend be to have the heart to push a twenty-year-old into this fire pit?
No wonder Yu Jiuyin said that ghosts are more honest than humans. Rongqing just felt that these people were disgusting and terribly scary.
But Yu Jiuyin comforted him again.
"That's not the case, Rongrong. They gave birth to me, and I saved Yu Yongqing, so that's the end of the cause and effect. Changing my last name means I'll have no connection to the Yu family anymore." Yu Jiuyin smiled and shook his head. He stood up and hugged Rongqing in his arms, nuzzling his face affectionately. "Besides, you care about me, so you think about everything for me. But in reality, for those who don't care about me, what's the point of me thinking about everything?"
Yu Jiuyin's words were insightful, but Rongqing felt a pang of pain in his heart. He was silent for a long time, wanting to say something but unable to speak. In the end, he could only lean closer to Yu Jiuyin and gently kiss him on the lips.
“Jiuyin, please be more considerate of me in the future.”
The sudden warmth on his lips startled Yu Jiuyin for a moment, then he smiled softly and nodded seriously at Rongqing, "Yeah, okay."
What’s past is past.
————————————————————-
The Siren Orphanage case had begun to unfold, and the investigation went undercover to avoid alerting the suspects. However, this time, Rongqing, whether out of selfish motives or genuine suspicion of the Yu family, after careful consideration, ultimately added the Yu family, who had not originally been on the investigation list, to the list.
Rongqing always felt that the fact that the Yu family had lost their child for twenty days was very strange in itself. Even if Yu Jiuyin could communicate with ghosts and gods as soon as he opened his eyes, he couldn't speak at that time! How could an adult notice that something was wrong with a baby who couldn't even speak?
The excuse of pupil reflection may sound logical at first glance, but in reality, Yu Mingwei and Shen Tianlan's excessive dislike for Yu Jiuyin does not make sense.
After ten months of pregnancy, why would a mother hate her own child if there is no special reason?
Furthermore, as a long-established family, the Yu family clearly had connections within the system, not to mention the wealth. As for the location, Rongqing remembered that Yu Yongqing alone owned a private island. This made the situation even more suspicious.
But Rong Qing didn't tell Yu Jiuyin about this in the end. After all, even if it didn't matter, they were still related by blood. Rong Qing knew that Yu Jiuyin wouldn't act on emotion, but Rong Qing was afraid that Yu Jiuyin would feel bad.
Just like that, Rong Qing suppressed his investigation into the Yu family. Meanwhile, Zhang Yao from the special case team also made some progress.
"Team Leader, our Brother Yu is truly amazing!"
"What do you mean? The illegitimate fan of the Jingfeng case has been found?"
"Found it! He had been hiding in the sewer like the bar owner. Now that the storm has passed, he wants to go home to get the money and run away, but we caught him right in the act. What a bunch of bastards!" Zhang Yao was speechless.
They had previously investigated according to the information given by the owner of the Affair Bar, and every case matched up, and they had restored the original circumstances of the crime. However, in case 128, the illegitimate fan who killed Jingfeng's wife and wiped out the adulterer's entire family was still at large.
Zhang Yao searched till his head was bald but still couldn't find any clues. Finally, Yu Jiuyin took pity on him and asked him to say a word.
"Tian?" Zhang Yao said it casually.
However, Yu Jiuyin asked him to withdraw all the people from other places and just place secret sentries at the sasaeng fan's house.
"No way, Brother Yu, we've been watching him every day and can't find him. What if he runs away if we retreat now?"
"She can't escape. We'll catch her at her home in the city within two days. There's a day on each side of the Chinese character 田 (Field), which means two days. Also, the character 田 (Field) belongs to the element of earth, and earth is in the center. Doesn't that imply the city? Furthermore, the character 田 (Field) resembles a window, proving the person we're looking for will return home. So I say, withdraw your men and just wait there!"
"Okay! Then I'll go." After listening to the explanation, Zhang Yao hurriedly did as Yu Jiuyin instructed. Sure enough, after just half a day, he blocked the man's house.
"Team Leader, are you really not considering submitting a report to recruit Brother Yu to join us? This is too efficient! Compared to Brother Yu, Yi Tian seems like a quack master."
"Really?" Rong Qing looked up at him, "Yi Tian is standing behind you!"
Shit! Zhang Yao turned around and was met with Yi Tian’s complicated face.
Yi Tian said sincerely: Compared with Brother Yu, I am indeed a novice.
Zhang Yao was embarrassed: No, no, no, I am a pheasant, I am the pheasant.
Yu Jiuyin happened to come looking for Rongqing. As soon as he entered the room, he heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but tease, "They are all wild chickens. Has this become a chicken coop? Rongrong, do you still have this hobby?"
Rong Qing looked at the two burly subordinates behind him with a stern face, and said expressionlessly, "Then I have to use something heavier." It can be said that he was very disgusted.
"Pfft." Yu Jiuyin laughed even harder.
As for Zhang Yao and Yi Tian, they pondered for a long time before they understood the conversation between the two people, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became more complicated.
You guys are telling dirty jokes right off the bat. Brother Yu and Rong Zu, are you serious about this?
However, Yu Jiuyin came here for serious business, so after chatting for a while, he quickly got down to business.
"Dayao, you have to go to the boss's school later."
"What's wrong?"
"The third child woke up and told me about the camera and the wardrobe in their dormitory. Even though it was just a dream, I think it must be real. You should go and collect the evidence!"
"Okay! Brother Yu, I'll go right away." Zhang Yao was also a decisive person. He took people out after saying that.
Rongqing also shared the final summary of the remaining cases with Yu Jiuyin.
"What are you going to do about this case?"
“I choose to be public.”
"Won't the higher-ups have any objections? It involves over a dozen old unsolved cases, and quite a few celebrities. Aren't you afraid of a backlash?"
"That's all a matter of guiding public opinion, don't worry. And I've heard that laws regarding online speech and real-name registration will be passed next year at the latest. So this sasaeng fan case is a good prelude to this."
Rong Qing spoke with a righteous tone, but Yu Jiuyin heard something else in it, "You're not going to make it public just to seek justice for the boss, are you?"
Yu Jiuyin felt something was amiss. Rongqing had never been one to meddle in other people's affairs. Even if it was just a prelude, this case was too big. A poor manipulation of public opinion would mean the police were incompetent. How could such a murderer have been at large for over a decade? So even if there was a benefit, the higher-ups wouldn't immediately agree. But Rongqing was adamant, and he must have other motives.
However, to Yu Jiuyin's surprise, Rong Qing actually admitted it directly. "Calling me brother can't be in vain. Some people dare to say anything over the Internet. Now they should pay the price."
————————————————————-
Three days later, Case 128 was officially closed. At the same time, the official police accounts of all the places involved in the case released the truth of the case at the same time.
In just three minutes, the article was forwarded over 10,000 times. Within five minutes, the 128 case was trending again.
But this time, the key words were not "Actor Jingfeng killed his wife and wiped out his family", but murder in the name of love.
All the netizens who saw the truth of the case couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Especially those who had followed the trend and scolded Jingfeng, they were at a loss.
Because Jingfeng has been in a coma since he committed suicide. If he is really dead, it was them who forced him to death.
Beneath the imagined justice lies the bloody tip of the executioner's knife.
The author has something to say: Yu Jiuyin: I calculated that those keyboard warriors will have nightmares at night.
