Lin Xi frowned, her eyes crossed the girl's shoulders, and saw that the eldest sister was also staring at her behind.

With eyes facing each other, Lin Xi could see the obvious disgust in the other person's eyes.

Lin Xi looked back at the girl.

"Let your sister look at your arms, okay?"

"What?" the girl was stunned.

"Let your sister see your arms or something hurts, so you can tell her." Lin Xi said, gently brushing her palms across the little girl's cuffs, and then pulling them up.

There is nothing on the arm.

It's just a delicate skin unique to children... no bruises or scars.

Lin Xi's eyebrows were frowning deeper.

At this time... the elder sister who had been behind seemed to see Lin Xi's expression, and she came over at this time.

"How is it? Have you seen enough?" She still did not hide her displeasure towards Lin Xi: "Since you have seen enough, please leave. There is no need for detectives here.

Even if someone really issued a commission, it was just a prank by these children. They didn’t have the ability to pay for the commission or something.”

Lin Xi stood up and looked directly at the other person. With the absolute height difference, she had to lower her head and look down.

"This has nothing to do with the commission. Detectives do not work for the commission. Sometimes, we are free."

As he said that, Lin Xi no longer listened to the elder sister's response, so he turned around and walked towards Zhou Yan.

"Help me and dig out the secrets here." She said to Zhou Yan very formally.

Zhou Yan was a little surprised. He had never seen Lin Xi so seriously.

It was obvious that Nobita's case before, just using a card as a commission, and the woman did not give in at all, and she clearly looked jealous of money.

But at this time, I didn't seem to care at all about whether a child could pay the entrusted deposit.

“Sometimes, we’re free.”

It's very simple, but powerful.

"OK."

Under this gaze, Zhou Yan seemed to subconsciously agree.

In the following time, he and Lin Xi seemed to be put in an "isolated" situation again.

Even the staff began to use the saying "children are in class" to prevent the two of them from getting in touch with their children.

The two of them could only wander around in this orphanage without any clues.

And in the process of wandering around, they could clearly feel that no matter where they went, there was at least a beam of gaze staring at them.

The three staff members have been hiding in a certain corner and have never left their sight for a moment.

However, it was just as they thought before.

This orphanage has been in operation for many years, and the people here must have their own set of safety measures.

So Zhou Yan and Lin Xi did not find any valuable clues or evidence.

In the entire orphanage, except for the strange and unusual atmosphere and the obvious children, it is normal and inconsistent.

Moreover, the 13th child seemed to have never appeared again. Maybe he was hiding in a certain place, waiting for the lucky star to appear again. Maybe he had been caught by a staff member and locked up.

I just don't know where I am locked up.

Time passed little by little.

Zhou Yan and Lin Xi still found nothing, and they were almost forced to a dead end.

The truth is clearly right beside me, but... I can't hold it.

......

It was four o'clock in the afternoon and dusk had arrived.

For the whole afternoon, no one had ever communicated with Lin Xi and Zhou Yan.

The two of them returned to the hall again, looking at the strange stairs in front of them, and could only be speechless.

"Otherwise... let's go directly to the search team, and they will definitely find something." Zhou Yan asked tentatively.

"The possibility is too small. First of all, it is not easy for us to apply for a search warrant." Lin Xi shook his head helplessly.

At this time... the children's afternoon class was over, and the footsteps rang out continuously, and the children still lined up and walked downstairs.

The fat woman also appeared. She saw Lin Xi and Zhou Yan standing in the hall, as if she was smiling.

She walked over.

"Two, how do you think the investigation is going?" she said, the smile on her fat face was a little distorted.

Neither Zhou Yan nor Lin Xi spoke...

"Haha, I think, you two can't find anything." The fat woman continued: "I can understand that a detective is obsessed with commission, but... we really have nothing to do here. Check it out, so...you two don't bother with these kids here."

Before he finished speaking...

"What do you want to do with them? Is the detective awesome? I've been wandering around here for a day! I can't see that you are not welcome here?"

The young male classroom was talking. He walked down the stairs and spoke in a very straightforward tone: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for bombing you out!"

Well, it seems that this young teacher has a bad temper.

"Yes, you have caused trouble to us, so...please leave."

The elder sister with glasses also appeared, hesitating that the sunset was blocked by the stairs, so the hall seemed increasingly wet and cold.

The three staff members stood in different positions in the hall, and the light from both sides of the steps stretched their shadows very long.

Their attitude was stronger than in the morning. Zhou Yan understood that this was the final order to expel the guest.

However, at this moment of tit-for-tat, Zhou Yan clearly observed that the three people in front of him were all looking at the clock on the wall intentionally or unintentionally.

"What are they waiting for?"

And Lin Xi.

She seemed to be still struggling. If she continued to stay here, it would not seem that there would be more important discoveries. But if she just left, wouldn't she forget about the puzzle in the orphanage?

What should I do with those kids?

It's at the critical moment of dilemma.

Suddenly... Zhou Yan heard a subtle and extremely soft sound.

A sound of "dou~".

The sound was so small that it was impossible to hear it with a little bit of concentration.

But he still caught it with great luck.

Zhou Yan looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Soon...he seemed to find...

It was a small spot of light, just on the floor not far away. As the dusk light shone on it, a faint light reflected.

Zhou Yan walked over, bent down... and picked it up.

That's...a little star.

This afternoon, the kind that the little boy was holding in his hand was very small and folded with long strips of paper.

At that time, because the child cared about the so-called "Lucky Star", it was impossible for Zhou Yan to touch it at all. He even wanted to come over and look carefully. The little boy was nervous and hurriedly shrank his hand.

When I went back, I was afraid that Zhou Yan would take it away.

"Where did this thing fall?"

Zhou Yan looked up and looked up at the top. There was only the fence on the second floor.

He lowered his head again, no matter where the thing fell, anyway, he could finally observe it carefully.

In fact, there is nothing to observe, it is just a small star, not as big as a fingernail.

etc.....

At this moment... Zhou Yan seemed to have thought of something.

He stretched out his hand and clasped the edge of the little star...

Button, button.

The little star was quickly locked and dispersed by him...

Zhou Yan quickly pulled one end of the paper and stretched the entire little star back to a long piece of paper...

Immediately afterwards

"Damn?"
