C23 A Girl in Red

"Do you believe in God in this world?"

In the orphanage in the Eastern District, the biggest orphanage in Loongkou City, there were children received by people from all walks of life through various channels. Some of these children were abandoned, and some were abducted and sold. All in all, the children here more or less had their own stories.

The sentence above was a girl wearing red clothes in the orphanage. At this moment, the child was looking at Lee Fei, Xu Lai, and President Qiao, who was standing next to them with an awkward expression.

On the way, Lee Fei had already explained to Xu Lai in detail that the client of this case came from a third-rate family in Loongkou City, the Feng family. Although they were said to be a third-rate family in Loongkou City, they were also big shots in real estate. Their assets and the company and hotels under their command added together, there were at least 10 billion.

It was such a family that privately entrusted Lee Fei to investigate a case of child trafficking many years ago. This not only made Xu Lai a little curious.

But after Lee Fei's simple explanation, all of this did not seem complicated.

After Feng Family's Patriarch Feng Sheng successfully started his business in his early years, this person's confidence would swell and he would spend money like dirt. At that time, there would naturally be many women around him. This included a woman, who was also known as a close friend.

Then, the two of them fell in love and gave birth to a daughter.

However, they could not do anything about it. At that time, the Feng family was not one of Feng Sheng's calculations. In order to become more successful in business, he had to marry someone he did not love. Of course, this kind of relationship was not new, but it happened occasionally.

After the woman found out about this, she got a sum of money. Her life was pretty good.

This matter was already more than 20 years ago, and that daughter back then was already a mother. And this is exactly what happened. In this daughter, The child who was abducted was her daughter.

In other words, the victim of this case was the daughter of the illegitimate daughter of Feng Sheng, the oldest person in charge of the Feng family in Loongkou City. Feng Sheng was already very old. As the head of the Feng family, it was impossible for him to let this matter be handed over to the police department, but it was even more impossible for him to let his granddaughter be kidnapped just like that. That was why he entrusted Lee Fei with this task.

And the only clue in this case, It was said that the granddaughter had once had a particularly good companion, but that the companion's parents had run off because of something, and that the girl had been sent to an orphanage.

The girl was the girl in red who was sitting in front of Lee Fei and Xu Lai.

After figuring out the whole story, Xu Lai looked at Lee Fei who was beside him. Clearly, Lee Fei wanted to pursue the truth, but the little girl in front of him kept repeating a sentence.

"Do you believe that there is a God in this world?"

Lee Fei did not have much patience now. She looked at the dean with a puzzled look. There was a trace of inquiry in her eyes. The meaning of this inquiry was, of course, what was wrong with the red-dressed girl in front of her. Through her slightly dull expression and repeated words, no matter how she looked at it, she did not look like a normal child.

Of course, the dean was also very embarrassed. He coughed softly a few times. Then he lowered his head and said, "The Feng family once found this place. At that time, they said that the girl named Feng Taotao was only with Lin Xin Xin when the accident happened. So they also wanted to come and find the answer, but this child has been like this ever since he came in. No matter who was chatting with her, she kept repeating the same sentence, as if she was possessed. If the Feng family had not greeted us, our hospital would have sent her to the Psychiatrics Department to take a look. Hey, it's a nice little girl. I wonder what she's been through. "

The director said with a sigh. His tone was full of regret. Although some of the children in the orphanage were really disabled or had problems, there weren't many who were as talkative as this girl.

The granddaughter of the Feng family was called Feng Taotao, and her little friend was Lin Xinxin.

Lee Fei stared at this girl called Lin Xinxin in a daze. She knew that this case was not easy to investigate, but she did not expect it to go wrong from the start. The Feng family had come here before, which meant that they must have tried countless methods.

Lee Fei now felt that she had a headache. At this time, she discovered that Xu Lai was looking at the red-dressed girl in front of him with interest.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Xu Lai did not move his head. His eyes continued to stare at the girl in red in front of him. At this moment, in Xu Lai's view, the girl was no different from an ordinary person. However, what was interesting was that the scene reflected in the girl's eyes was not the room in front of her but a sea of fire.

A sea of fire was burning red. In the middle of the sea of fire, a little girl who was about the same age as her was sitting in the sea of fire. She was murmuring with her head lowered.

"Do you believe that there is a God in this world?"

Xu Lai's pupils shrank. He saw something else. His face instantly turned as white as paper. His entire body trembled and his back was as cold as ice.

There was clearly a person standing behind the little girl.

No, it was not accurate to say that she was a person. It should be said that she was a demon.

A demon wearing a black robe with sunken cheeks, empty eyes, and a pair of sharp claws wrapped around the little girl's neck.

When Xu Lai looked at the demon, it suddenly raised its head and smiled at Xu Lai.

Hu!

The sea of fire suddenly swept up a monstrous devil flame and drowned everything in an instant. Xu Lai suddenly leaned back and sweat flowed down his forehead under Lee Fei's strange gaze.

Xu Lai had never seen such a devil before. In the past, the devil was at most just some vengeful souls that appeared after the death of some people. And in the sea of fire, the decision Xu Lai saw was a genuine devil!

Xu Lai suddenly realized the seriousness of the world. This matter was definitely not as simple as kidnapping children on the surface.

There were even more things involved than Xu Lai had imagined.

It was at this moment that the red-dressed girl, Lin Xinxin, who had been repeating the same sentence, suddenly tilted her head and looked at Xu Lai.

After saying that, Something she had never said before.

"You seem to have angered him."

These words struck Xu Lai like thunder. He knew that everything just now was real. In other words, the devil had noticed him and even knew about his existence.

In an instant, Xu Lai's heart trembled. He was scared.

"What's wrong with you, Xu Lai?"

Lee Fei saw Xu Lai's reaction and patted his shoulder. She then looked at the girl in red with surprise.

"What did you just say?"

The girl tilted her head but did not say anything.

Lee Fei also felt that this matter was a little strange. At this time, Xu Lai had already walked to the table and kept looking at the documents in his hands. When he knew that this matter was unusual, Xu Lai planned to study the original documents.

He believed that he would definitely find something on it.

Or perhaps it was to look for something that he had overlooked.

On Lee Fei's side, when she was unable to find anything on the red-dressed girl, she began to inquire about the location of Feng Tao's disappearance from the hospital director. Then, she began to walk the streets and ask about Feng Tao's family situation. Perhaps Lee Fei also noticed that there was something fishy about this matter.

Strange girl, strange disappearance, strange case.

The two of them, Lee Fei included, did not know at this moment. Just when Lee Fei started to search for clues, on the top floor of the largest high-rise building in Loongkou City, a surveillance video entered the eyes of an old man through a big screen. The surveillance video was captured by the surveillance cameras in the orphanage's office, including Feng Taotao's disappearance.

In the darkness, a hoarse and ancient voice could be heard.

"They are quite enthusiastic in their investigation, but I don't know what they can find."

The old man picked up a glass of red wine fearlessly and took a sip quietly.

"It doesn't matter. They can't find anything." The old man put down the glass and stopped talking. He looked at Xu Lai's figure, who was reading the documents carefully. He frowned slightly.

"Even if they found something, they wouldn't understand. The more they know about this matter, the closer they will be to danger."

As the old man spoke, he looked at the person in the darkness. A strange smile unconsciously appeared on his face. That smile was almost the same as the smile of the devil Xu Lai had seen in the sea of fire.
