The little girl stopped crying, turned around and looked at Chen Ge blankly. Tears hung on her palm-sized face, and her eyes were red and swollen, with a layer of mist on them.
The child's pitiful eyes seemed to be able to melt everything. Even the coldest-hearted person would unconsciously relax his expression when facing her.
The female nurse could no longer control herself. She hugged the little girl with heartache, put her face on the girl's head, and patted her back gently.
Just looking at the female nurse and two children in the bedroom, you will feel it is very warm, just like an elder sister who works alone and is bravely raising two younger brothers and sisters. Although they are poor and hard, they always yearn for happiness and beauty.
But if Chen Ge was added, the scene in the house became a little weird.
He stood at the door, his muscles tense, as if he was alone in the jungle and being stared at by a wild beast.
"According to the proportions in Fan Yu's painting, the monster is three times the size of an adult man."
Chen Ge, who had dealt with Fan Yu before, clearly remembered that Fan Yu's eyes could see ghosts, which meant that the huge spider monster in Fan Yu's painting was really behind him at this moment!
His fingers pressed on the switch of the duplexer, and blue veins appeared on his arm.
Before coming here, he never thought that he would encounter ghosts in this warm welfare home.
"Fan Yu and the little girl seem to have a very good relationship. Fan Yu and I are also acquaintances. Can this indirectly mean that the little girl and I are also friends?" Chen Ge muttered as he stood at the door. His voice was not loud, just loud enough to be heard behind him.
"Don't cry, your sister has left. I will take you to see her tomorrow." Fan Yu touched the little girl's head. He was especially kind to this little girl.
"Yeah." The little girl rubbed her red and swollen eyes, broke free from the nurse's arms, and reluctantly sat on the small mat in the bedroom, still holding the spider's corpse in her hand, reluctant to throw it away.
After hearing Fan Yu say that the girl's sister had left, Chen Ge finally relaxed, walked into the house, picked up the broom behind the door and swept the glass shards on the ground to the corner.
Standing among the three people, the female nurse felt a little embarrassed. She always felt as if she was being ignored and no one cared about her.
"Mr. Chen, let me sweep it up." The female nurse swept the broken glass into the dustpan, then dragged Chen Ge out of the house.
"You've seen the situation inside, right?" The nurse said helplessly, "I've been taking care of Jiang Ling since she came to the welfare home. More than half a year has passed. She used to call me mom and was very attached to me, like a little angel. But since Fan Yu came, everything has changed. This child follows Fan Yu around all day and only listens to him."
"Why do I hear a hint of 'jealousy' in your words?" Chen Ge leaned against the wall. This welfare home gave him a very good impression. It was doing practical things.
"I didn't!" The nurse glared at Chen Ge. "If Jiang Ling played with other children, I would definitely not stop her. The key point is that Fan Yu is very abnormal. You have seen the things he drew. Do you think it is appropriate to let a five or six-year-old girl look at that kind of thing every day?"
"This is a bit too much." Chen Ge didn't know how to explain to the female nurse. He couldn't say that everything Fan Yu drew was real.
"This is more than excessive!" The female nurse closed the bedroom door and pulled Chen Ge to the corner of the living room. "Jiang Ling was found by the police at the crime scene. You don't understand what this child has been through. When she was first sent to the welfare home half a year ago, Jiang Ling couldn't even speak and was deeply afraid of everyone. After half a year of psychological counseling and treatment by Doctor Chen, she has improved."
Chen Ge's expression became serious: "Can you tell me about that child's past?"
The female nurse lowered her voice and said, "I also heard it from the police. Jiang Ling originally had a very happy family. The family of four lived in a remote countryside. Although the family was not wealthy, they lived a happy life."
"Her father is an honest farmer. Her mother doesn't seem to be from here. She is very fair-skinned. She also has an older sister who inherited her mother's genes and is very pretty."
"About a year ago, her father borrowed some money and contracted a peach orchard to grow peaches. The family lived far away from the village and didn't interact with anyone."
"Just when the peaches were about to be harvested and their life was about to improve, something went wrong."
The nurse sighed, with a hint of sympathy and anger in her eyes: "First, Jiang Ling's sister disappeared, and not long after, Jiang Ling's father and mother got into trouble. There was a lot of rat poison in the rice soup and dishes. The murderer was determined to kill them."
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"No." The nurse shook her head. "The police didn't disclose much information. I only know that the murderer didn't touch the family's money, and he didn't do it for sex. I suspect the murderer is the villagers who are jealous of Jiang Ling's family's happiness! That area is quite remote, and few people go there except other villagers. Also, a few days before the incident, people from the nearby village often went there to steal unripe peaches. Once, the thief was caught by Jiang Ling's father, and they even had a fight in the peach forest."
After listening to the nurse's description, Chen Ge also felt that the villagers looked a bit like the murderer. Murder is usually purposeful and deliberate revenge, so this reason makes sense.
"After investigating, the police did not find the person who poisoned the girl in the village. The only survivor at the scene was Jiang Ling, who did not drink the soup. However, she was also shocked when she saw her parents collapse after eating. The police suspected that Jiang Ling had seen the murderer, but they had no way to communicate with her. The little girl had some mental problems since the incident."
"As you can see, she would call me sister when she saw a spider. She would run towards things that others would be afraid of. Can you imagine her putting her cute face close to the spider?"
"After spending a long time together, I discovered that she had other problems."
"This child's cognition is somewhat confused. She often asks the blanket to be called "mother" and the hanging rope to be called "daddy". When others ask her why, she can't tell the reason."
The nurse was a little frustrated. It was obvious that she was worried about the girl. "Our welfare home has been trying to correct Jiang Ling's wrong perception. She no longer calls the rope and quilt "Mom and Dad". As long as we change her perception of spiders, this girl can live like a normal person. But who knew Fan Yu would come and destroy all our efforts with just a few words."
"Let's not talk about Fan Yu for now." Chen Ge had to face the Ghost Story Association, so he was more interested in the haunted house: "Has the police investigated Jiang Ling's sister? Why did she disappear? Could she be the murderer?"
"Before the incident, Jiang Ling's sister had disappeared. The police once suspected that the murderer might be her sister who had gone away and returned, but they have not found Jiang Ling's sister to date."
