Maybe I can't have normal youth

"Please help us and find out the truth." After we opened all the doors of the room, a woman's voice came from the large room outside, which sounded quite normal.It shouldn't be a deliberately scary ghost.

When I saw the woman's white nurse uniform, I guessed that it was probably the female nurse who worked with Ms. Ace back then.On the way she asked for help, she also confirmed her identity as the head nurse.

"I used to be Morton's head nurse, because there are so many children who need many nurses to take care of, so we set up a nurse department like a hospital."

Because there are no clocks in the room, and mobile phones and other items cannot be brought in.We don't know how long we have spent now.But it seems that the physical evidence that should have been found has almost been found, and the next step is entered.

The next thing we need to do is to find out the truth about the arson that year. Although the head nurse seems to be a normal person, all the people involved in the story should be trapped here by ghosts.The ghost cannot die because of confusion and resentment.If we strayed into this place, as long as we help them reason out the truth, we can get out of this orphanage.

The head nurse slowly said the suspect's clues: "I remember that before the arson, four children were suspected, and their behavior was strange."

"Emily is the latest child to come to Morton. She was very strange the first time she stepped into this gate. In our opinion, she is very different from the children around her. She doesn't like to communicate with others. I don’t like being in a lively place..."

"Ellen has always been Morton's little eldest brother. The children here are basically listening to him. However, since the fighting incident, Ellen's status seems to be getting lower and lower, and even children in the orphanage dare to resist him. ."

"Karen is Morton's most talented child, but because he has always been very lonely and is not liked by children. Although we have always wanted to help him, we are afraid that this will backfire and make the situation worse, plus He himself is very alienated from us. So we have to endure it all the time and wait for him to grow on his own."

"The last girl, Bazaar, is Morton's most infectious girl. Maybe you will find it strange when I say that. She is very infectious and lively. Why do I say she is suspected, right? Because she I can occasionally see a very shrewd look in her eyes. It seems to see the world more thoroughly than an adult, which makes people shudder. But where does it come from, none of us know..."

Listening to the head nurse's account, we have a clear understanding of the problems that need to be solved.Under such preconditions, it is only necessary to infer who is the arsonist.

But since she left, we felt stuck right away.Obviously, the previous part has been very smooth, although I don't know the exact time, but I always feel that it has broken many small organs.But at the end it was difficult to choose who the arsonist was. The group of four had to explore the scene again while brainstorming.

"You said, isn't it Karen? Come here..." The first thing I walked into was Karen's room. Karen was very talented in painting, and the room was full of his creations.After Xu Xiao took a few pictures from the wall, we said so.

She turned over all the paintings she had taken down, so that the text hidden behind her became visible.

"Xu Xiao with you! This is the second time today, looking for a hidden text expert!" The president couldn't help but praised her again.

It's just that all the words behind this let us take a breath.

"Disgust, disgust, disgust, hate, hate, hate, hate..." Almost all the space behind the painting is filled with the words "disgust" or "disgust". The paper that should have been white is now almost black.

Turning back to the front of the original painting again, it makes the fragments that were originally all describing the good life very acne-prone.

"This kid seems to be lively on the surface, but gloomy inside." The president gave a conclusion after reading it.

Xu Xiao nodded in agreement: "So I said, could it be Karen who set the fire?"

"No, I don't think it's necessarily." The magician student felt that something was wrong with such a rapid development.

He took several paintings from Xu Xiao: "Are all the other paintings on the wall also have words on the back?"

"No, no, I've seen them all, only these ones are on them." Xu Xiao flipped over the remaining pictures on the wall to show us at will, it turned out that there were white and ordinary canvases behind.

"It seems that something is wrong." The president nodded and signaled Chen Yudi to spread all the paintings on the ground, so as to observe them together.

Almost all children appear on the screen, and the immature brushstrokes depict scenes of happy daily life.Each face was replaced by two curved eyes and a curved mouth.Everyone on the canvas seemed very happy.

Under the big sun, a few children are eating ice cream profusely; everyone is playing house together, it seems to be reprinting the story of "Little Match Girl"; the children are in the fruit and vegetable garden with farming tools in their hands Vegetables are cultivated here, sweat soaks the clothes; everyone sings hand in hand around the campfire in the dark night...

what!That's it!

This is what they have in common!

Although I couldn't figure out the beginning and the end of all the events, the sudden inspiration at least allowed me to get through the strangeness of this link.

"Hot...all the thing in common is heat." The last picture of the campfire woke me up.

"What?" Xu Xiao didn't understand.

I had to give a further explanation: "There is only one thing in common among all the paintings with words like hate, and that is that the scene in the painting is very hot."

"So Karen is actually very likely to hate intense heat. We still need to carefully consider whether he is an arsonist or not." The magician classmate continued my words.

"Yes." I nodded at him.

Ah right!When I read it before, I remembered something mentioned in his diary.

I searched Karen’s bed again to find his diary, and I have to say that it was actually well hidden.At that time, classmate Xu Xiao found it out. From her performances several times, it directly showed that she was an expert in finding hidden objects.

"Today is my ninth birthday, but a fire a few days ago took away important people around me. It should have been a very happy day, why should everything become like this! I miss them so much, I really hope They can celebrate my birthday as before."

I turned to the page at the end of the diary, and when I first looked at it, I felt nothing wrong.But I don't know why, after knowing that Karen hated intense heat, the first thing that flashed in his mind was the words in the diary of this day.

After re-reading the diary that was spread out in my hand, the magician classmate said what I thought in my heart: "If Karen hates the intense heat after the fire, I will not mention that he wrote behind these paintings. According to his depressed mood at the time, how could he paint a wall full of these paintings, all happily living with his friends?"

"Yes. But I think the violation is not only in this place... but I just can't catch this erratic feeling."

After listening to my words, the magician took the diary from my hand and continued to read the short lines of words repeatedly.

If it doesn't work or just forget it, maybe it's just a blind feeling.

I looked at him frowning, and I haven't said this.The magician put the diary together and said excitedly: "Student Bai An! I see!"

He immediately ran out of Karen's room, trot all the way to the dean's room, then rummaged for it, and ran back with a booklet.

"Look at this!"

He opened the orphan admission registration form and wrote on Karen's page: Karen, male, joined Morton Orphanage when he was 11 years old.

"11 years old!" Xu Xiao also realized something.

"It seems that this diary has been tampered with and the number of pages has been changed." The president carefully observed the old diary bound with thread, and continued to reason, "Karen may have experienced two fires, and the diary The recorded time may be the reason why he lost his parents. Every year, children come to the orphanage. If we all think that they came here because of famine, they will be misled and go astray."

"Yes, very reasonable inference." I agree with the president's words. In the early stage, he was always worried about ghosts and his condition seemed to be very poor. Now his reasoning ability seems to be finally online.

In your words and my words, Karen’s story was pieced together by us.

"So that's it!" Xu Xiao's eyes lit up a lot after listening to our inferences, as if he had been opened up through the two channels of Ren and Du.

"So in this case, Karen can be said to be ruled out of suspicion. He seems to have been designed, and the arsonist should be someone else." The magician classmate arranged his thoughts and concluded.

"Yes, yes, I agree with what classmate Chen Yudi said, I was too sloppy at first. Then who would be the arsonist in this case?"
