Chapter 38 - Chapter 38 Son of the Devil

Huang Xiaotao then ordered down, "Visit the people at the hospital and investigate this peculiar case of bloodsucking by the way."

 "Wait! I want to visit the major orphanages in Nanjiang City later." I added.

 "Song Yang, what have you found out again?" Huang Xiaotao really didn't know why I wanted to go to the orphanages.

 "No, this is just my speculation, if I really can't spare any manpower, I'll go alone, but you'll have to give me a certificate for the case." I said to Huang Xiaotao.

 "I'll go with you!" After saying that, Huang Xiaotao told everyone to go their own way to investigate.

 Wang Dali and I got into Huang Xiaotao's car right away, and Huang Xiaotao looked up on the GPS and said, "The nearest orphanage is the Ci Ai orphanage, so let's go there and take a look."

 "OK! Then I'll take a nap first, I'm really sleepy." After saying that, I put the passenger seat down and dozed off, quickly falling asleep.

 Not long after that I was shaken awake by Huang Xiaotao, "Get up, we're here."

 I saw a white building crawling with green vines outside the window, with a sign 'Compassionate Welfare Institution' hanging on the gate, I yawned, a nap was indeed a relief, I felt a little better in spirit.

 Huang Xiaotao drew out a wet towel and wiped my face, I said 'thank you'.

 I wiped my face while saying, "It's really hard for you guys to be police officers, you often don't have any sleep, how can you still keep your skin so good?"

 Huang Xiaotao pulled open the storage box, there were a lot of face masks inside: "When I have sleep, I put on hydrating masks!"

 "I shit, or imported masks, how do you feel that you usually spend a lot of money, what exactly does your family do?" Looking at those hundreds of dollars a mask, I was completely dumbfounded.

 Huang Xiaotao smiled mischievously, "Confidential! Let's investigate the case, vigorously ..."

 A snoring sound came from the back seat, we both looked back, Wang Dali lying in the back seat sleeping, Huang Xiaotao ready to shake him awake, I waved my hand, "Forget it, the two of us go down to check it out, it's not certain that we can find out."

 We walked into the orphanage and asked the person in charge if there had ever been a child with pale skin, fear of the sun, and no body hair. The person in charge led us to the medical clinic to find a thick file of medical records, flipped through it, and finally determined that no such child had been admitted, we thanked and left.

 Huang Xiaotao asked me in disbelief, "What was the reason you came to the orphanage to investigate?"

 I replied, "I can't disclose it for now, there are probably just a few orphanages in Nanjiang City, I'll tell you when I've run through them all."

 "What if you don't find anything?" Huang Xiaotao asked.

 "Buy you dinner!" I said.

 Huang Xiaotao sneered, "You're a poor student and you're still treating me?"

 "It's my honor to treat a beautiful policewoman to dinner." I faintly curled my mouth.

 We ran three orphanages immediately after, Huang Xiaotao has a car is very convenient, if I and Wang Dali to visit, this day time will be all hitched.

 These three orphanages are also all unproductive, at noon, Huang Xiaotao parked the car in front of a fast food restaurant, asked for two set meals, when ordering Wang Dali suddenly sat up, "I want fried chicken wings, cola to be a large portion, remember to put ice."

 Huang Xiaotao glared at him, "Why did you wake up as soon as it was time to eat?"

 Wang Dali hemmed and hawed, "My biological clock is like this, no matter how late I sleep the night before, as long as I'm quasi-awake when it's time to eat the next day, isn't it awesome?"

 "It's like living like a pig!" Huang Xiaotao gave him a blank stare before calling the waiter to add a set meal.

 After we finished eating, Huang Xiaotao searched the GPS and said, "Song Yang, there's only one last orphanage left in Nanjiang City, if we still can't find it, dinner should be on you."

 "Okay!" I nodded.

 "However, the street stalls won't be able to satisfy me, so just prepare your wallet to hemorrhage." Huang Xiaotao laughed evilly.

 More than an hour later, we arrived at the last orphanage, Sacred Heart Orphanage. The location of this orphanage was relatively remote, and from afar, we could see a church-like building standing in a birch forest, quiet and secluded, with a white cross erected on the spire of the building.

 "Isn't this a church?" Wang Dali said.

 "I remember that this orphanage was donated by Christians in Nanjiang City, so it was built like this." Huang Xiaotao explained.

 We pushed the door and entered this orphanage, the courtyard was quiet and the birch tree beside the road had fallen many leaves.

 In the concierge sat an older woman, knitting a sweater, seeing us come in she asked who we were looking for, Huang Xiaotao explained her intentions, the older woman snapped, "Ah, I have some impression of this child you're talking about!"

 Huang Xiaotao and I exchanged glances, it seems to be the right place!

 Auntie said that the child was adopted twenty years ago when he was only seven years old, because of his odd appearance and fear of sunlight, several nuns, priests and the abbess at the time had argued vehemently about it, thinking that he might be the child of the devil, and some suggested simply abandoning him. But the kind abbot was firmly against it, saying that even if he was the devil's child, God's light would be able to convert him, so he took him in.

 The child ate very little, not touching milk, meat, peanuts or other food, and grew up with a yellow face, chronically malnourished. Once he fainted because of malnutrition, so the nuns gave him a nutritional injection, which almost killed him, as he had a layer of blisters all over his body, and rolled around on the ground wailing and screaming, which terrified everyone.

 The boy had a frightening aura about him. Once when Big Mother was doing her nightly rounds, she found that all the chickens in the chicken coop were dead, thinking that a weasel had come in, but she saw the boy squatting in the coop, his mouth full of blood, and his eyes glowing with a ghostly light, which scared her out of her wits!

 Because of this incident, the boy was locked up for three days, but he was naturally withdrawn, so the confinement had no punitive effect on him, and he preferred to stay in the small dark room.

 Later he even bit a nun, on the neck, almost killing the nun, and people felt they could not tolerate it any longer and threatened a strike, telling the Mother Superior to get rid of the boy. Some even said that the boy was a descendant of Cain and that the sunlight should be allowed to kill him.

 The abbot strongly disagreed, saying that the boy was of a pitiful character, and that he would not live a single day if he were driven out. He also said that God had said, when he banished Cain, 'Whoever kills Cain will be rewarded sevenfold', and that if the boy was really Cain's descendant, it would be a terrible thing to kill him!

 So the dean took the boy to the atonement room and educated him for a whole day, using the Torah to convict him.

 The dean is a compassionate person, has always been in everyone's eyes saint, the child was really sensitized, and has not bitten anyone since, of course, everyone is also on guard against him, do not let him and the other children get too close ...

 Until he was eighteen years old, he escaped from the orphanage, and then there was no news, to the orphanage staff, this nightmare is finally over.

 After listening to the aunt's account, I was beyond certain that this man was the murderer we were looking for!

 "What's his name, do you have any details?" Huang Xiaotao asked eagerly.

 "I'm not sure about these, let me take you to see the dean." Big mom said.

 "Okay, please!" Huang Xiaotao nodded.

 On the way, Wang Dali asked me curiously, "What does Cain's offspring mean?"

 "Cain is a character in the Bible, and the legendary vampire originator, later on, what vampire counts, vampire queens, all belong to the Cain clan." I explained.
