48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng chased the blood from the library all the way to a children's welfare home.

The whole process was not easy and although the shadow calf was badly injured, with the help of the black liquid, he did not need to escape with his legs, but it was obviously not pleasant to be sealed in the cement wall and he needed to breathe out of the wall from time to time.

This leaves blood on the ground, which is still quite recognizable, thicker than the blood of ordinary people, darker in color, close to dark black, and smells like rot, but even so, it's not easy to track a target in a big city.

Zhang Hengzheng reversed the curved bow, held the flashlight with one hand, held the phone with one hand, and opened the Gao De map above. In addition to tonight's operation, the behavior pattern of that thing has remained highly consistent, avoiding appearance in crowded places and targeting vulnerable groups. Therefore, it is rarely seen by witnesses. Now that he is seriously injured, I think he should be more cautious.

Zhang Heng first used an electronic map to exclude areas where there were still many people at this point in time, such as some main roads and food streets that had been open until dawn, chose several remote routes, sorted in order of likelihood, then conducted a comprehensive search until the special blood was found on the ground, and then proceeded to the previous steps using this as a starting point.

This search is time-consuming, especially if he is alone.

But if you find five or six bloodstains, you can basically figure out where that shadow escapes, and then things get a lot easier.

Of course, Zhang Henghuan determined that the last area still took a lot of time. He had searched a boarding elementary school and hospital nearby. The most likely place left was the child welfare home in front of him, but in the daytime period he had not closed his eyes for more than 30 hours. Zhang Henghuan did not rush in, but went to the convenience store next door to grab a bottle of coffee and left the money on the table as usual.

Drinking coffee restored a little spirit, Zhang Heng put on gloves, wiped the saliva on the mouth of the bottle and the fingerprints on the bottle with a paper towel, and then threw the bottle in a trash can half a street away, which led to crossing the iron fence outside the front door and entering the children's welfare home.

At this point, most of the staff in the welfare home had also gone home, leaving only the doorman on duty and some nurses, a doctor and four nurses.

The doorman plays cards in the duty room, the doctor prepares the psychiatrist's exam in the office, the little nurse is napping, and there are three of them together to play King's Glory. In addition to the emergency room and the duty room, there is an observation quarantine room, a children's restaurant, a staff restaurant and a multipurpose room on the ground floor, but there is no one inside.

Zhang Heng did not find anything unusual here, and soon came back to the second floor, which is the dormitory of the welfare home. In addition to this, the children adopted by the welfare home basically live here, there is a nurse's lounge and activity room.

Zhang Heng didn't have much to gain in the last two places. Until he came to the dormitory, he noticed a lonely bed in the west corner. The children in the other beds seemed to be afraid of people who were in bed. Even when they slept, no one wanted to be too close to him. So the bed was like being isolated from the other side of the world.

It was supposed to be bedtime at the children's home, but the bed was empty. Zhang Heng lifted the back of the bed with his gloved hands and found a roll of medical gauze underneath, with black blood on it, which means he finally found his rightful owner.

Zhang Heng dropped the quilt in his hand and took half a step back. He looked at the brand on the bedside of his eyes. It belonged to a child named Zhang Jingli. From this name, it can be seen that the staff at the welfare center wanted Zhang Jingli to grow up to be a quiet and polite person. However, unfortunately, this wish did not seem to be fulfilled.

Zhang Jingli's face in the photograph was silent, his eyes were gloomy, and he had an anger completely different from his age, but that face in the photograph was a little cute compared to the horrible things he had done.

“Gotcha.” Zhang Heng lowered his voice while removing the photo.

After Zhang Jingli was injured, he fled to the child welfare home where he was hiding. He stole gauze from the emergency room and handled the wound himself. He also knew that he was in a panic and might leave a lot of clues, so he did not dare to stay in bed, but Zhang Heng speculated that he was unlikely to escape from the child welfare home again.

After all, his leg was not slightly damaged. As the shooter of the arrow, Zhang Heng was well aware of the trauma caused by the arrow to the other party. Therefore, Zhang Heng did not find anyone in bed and was not in much hurry. He eventually found Zhang Jingli in Superroom B on the third floor.

The latter hid in the corner behind the B-boxer, curling his body, Zhang Heng walked over to untie the gauze on his leg and saw the arrow wound on his leg and the black blood on the wound.

Zhang Jingli at this moment appeared to be unprecedented fragile. At rest, he could no longer control the black liquid swimming between the walls, devouring an innocent life, not even moving a little thumb, and now he seemed to be no different from an ordinary evil child.

If Zhang Heng wants to kill him, he can do it with only one knife. This is also the first time Zhang Heng has killed in a stationary world. He has undergone the baptism of Mannheim and Blackfan. Zhang Heng still doesn't like the feeling of taking life, but there will be no great psychological fluctuations when doing this kind of thing.

Not to mention that the object he's trying to solve now is most likely not a human being, but the next moment he's got a mechanical knife parked in front of Zhang Jingli's throat.

Zhang Heng frowned, he could see in Zhang Jingli's eyes an uncovered hatred for the world, and also nervousness and anxiety. Unlike Li Shengxue's previous situation, Zhang Jingli's eyes had nothing but fear, indicating that he was not coerced, plus the wounds on his leg and black blood, none of which proved that he attacked Zhang Heng and Shen Xixi at school only a short time ago.

But one thing kept Zhang Heng very concerned, according to Li Shengli, Zhang Jingli came to school in the afternoon, which means that he left the children's welfare home at that time, which is certainly not a complicated thing for him to change the shape of the wall.

But after he left the child welfare home until the evening, no one could have noticed it for so long, but Zhang Hengsheng had previously met the staff of the welfare home, whether they were doctors for the refresher exam, and the honorable nurse of the king had shown no sense of urgency about the loss of the child.
