Ling Han frowned. “Who is it?”

Wang Jian said, “Lu Yi.”

Ling Han had a vague guess, so he asked, “How did Lu Yi die?”

Wang Jian’s body suddenly froze, and his muscles tensed up. He looked at Ling Han with widened eyes as he slowly spat out, “Suicide.”

Ling Han remained calm and composed as he asked, “Why would she commit suicide? As a mother, shouldn’t she wait for the child that’s about to be born?”

Wang Jian chuckled and said mysteriously, “It’s because she committed suicide that she had this child.”

Ling Han asked Wang Jian, “What do you mean?”

Wang Jian looked at Ling Han as he replied, “Because on the seventh day after Lu Yi died, we suddenly heard a baby crying in her coffin!”

If Lu Yi was still alive, she indeed should have given birth at that time. However, the problem was that Lu Yi was clearly dead, so why was this child still alive?

Ling Han was unable to verify this statement, so he could only try to get more information out of Wang Jian. “Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”

“We and the people from the funeral parlor heard it, and even opened her coffin to take a look. There was indeed a child covered in blood inside.” Wang Jian’s expression was very certain, and he showed the photo in his hand to Ling Han. “It’s exactly the same as this photo. At that time, the umbilical cord wasn’t broken.”

It was unbelievable.

Ling Han froze, then after seeing the photo, he suddenly thought of something. “Why did that child disappear? Also, why aren’t you guys worried at all?”

Wang Jian lowered his head in shame. “Although I’m very happy to have a grandchild, I’m the only one left in the family. I don’t have a job or a pension. I can’t afford to support Wang Le at all. I… I sent her to the orphanage.” “Chengnan Orphanage?”

“Yes.”

Ling Han made another trip to the Chengnan Orphanage. As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw a female teacher leading a group of children to play in the open space.

He didn’t disturb them and only watched quietly. The laughter of the children filled the entire front yard, and at the end of the game, that female teacher finally discovered Ling Han at the door.

Seeing her walk over, Ling Han also reported his identity and purpose in coming. “I’m Ling Han, the police.”

The female teacher opened the door and asked, “What are you doing in the orphanage, Officer Ling?”

Ling Han said warmly, “I heard that your orphanage received a baby called Wang Le some time ago?”

At the mention of the baby, the female teacher’s expression stiffened. “Yes, but it seems that someone has already adopted her.”

Ling Han was surprised. “Someone adopted her so quickly?”

However, the female teacher said, “It’s not that soon. That child has been in our orphanage for a month. Some rich families like young children. Although it’s not easy to raise her, if she was raised from a young age, she’ll be closer to them.”

Ling Han only smiled lightly. “I have a photo. In this photo, Wang Le doesn’t look like she’s only a month old.”

At this moment, the female teacher suddenly panicked. “This…”

Actually, Ling Han was only making a gamble. Seeing the female teacher’s reaction, Ling Han knew that he had made the right bet, so he entered the room and sat down. “I advise you to tell the truth.”

After the female teacher thought about it for a moment, she said, “Wang Le was small and cute. I liked her back then, but something strange happened later, so we had to send her away as soon as possible.”

Ling Han sat there patiently as he listened to the female teacher talk about this strange matter. “What strange thing?”

The female teacher explained, “At first, there was indeed no problem, but later on, we realized that Wang Le had never grown up. The atmosphere in the orphanage had not been good recently. We felt that it was very strange that everyone fell ill half a month ago, so we found a fortune-teller. Before the fortune-teller even entered the orphanage, he said that he felt a very strong sinister energy, and the source of that sinister energy was Wang Le..”
