Chapter 26 Suspense

Adam frowned, and asked anxiously: "After that video, has Eva appeared anywhere else?"

Jack had a hunch in his heart, but he still felt disappointed. He put away his phone and said in a low voice: "No. That was her last picture. After that, she was not seen in the surveillance at the gate of the community. It was as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth."

Alen proposed a hypothesis: "Could it be that she changed her clothes and left quietly?"

Adam nodded in agreement: "Yes, if she left at night and got into the car waiting on the roadside as soon as she went out, she would probably not be noticed." His idea was recognized by Alen.

But Jack shook his head and denied: "We have checked the surveillance. During that period, no one came out of the community gate and got into the car directly. Although there were a few people whose faces could not be seen clearly, they were all residents of the community after the police identified them, and there were no outsiders."

Adam continued to speculate: "Then is it possible that she disguised herself as a resident of the community and left?"

After experiencing the strange incident with his father, Adam felt that he was becoming more and more like a detective. He made bold guesses because some things in this world were beyond his imagination.

Jack did not refute, but fell into deep thought. He did not rule out this possibility, but if Eva really did it, what was her motive? Why did she hide herself? Why was she afraid of being discovered?

The discussion between the three did not solve Jack's doubts, but made him feel more confused.

The atmosphere of the dinner became a little heavy.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Jack took out his carefully crafted bust sculpture and showed it to Alen: "My skills are limited, please give me more advice from Adam's father."

After seeing the sculpture, Alen and Adam both had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

"Alen exclaimed: "Good! "

Adam exclaimed: "It's so realistic, more realistic than anything I've seen before!"

Jack smiled and explained: "I made some detailed modifications later."

"Great!" Alen gave a thumbs up, "I like it very much!"

Adam immediately transferred money to Jack, one thousand more than the originally agreed amount.

Jack was a little surprised when he saw the transfer information, and just as he was about to speak, Adam said: "Thank you for helping my father, this little money is nothing, don't refuse it. "

Although Adam lives in the suburbs, he has a job and a few empty rooms for rent. His financial situation is much better than Jack's.

Jack nodded and said nothing more.

The dinner lasted until almost ten o'clock in the evening. The three of them were a little drunk. They called a designated driver. Adam and his son left with the sculpture, while Jack walked alone to the Ivy Community opposite.

The cool breeze at night made him sober a lot and his mind became calm.

Standing at the gate of the community, he looked up at the high place on the street. He remembered that there was a camera in front of the cold bean skin dealer opposite, facing here, and the sky eye probe at the gate of the community was also facing here.

The two cameras are still there and working normally, but when checking the video at the beginning, Eva was not found coming out of the gate.

Did she leave the community from somewhere else? Or is it really like Adam said, she disguised as another resident? Or...

Jack stood at the gate of the community, his eyes through the iron fence, staring into the community: "Or... she never left at all! "

After returning to the rental house and taking a shower, Jack compulsively checked the doors and windows again before returning to the bedroom.

Since experiencing the blood pupil incident, his obsessive-compulsive disorder seems to be more serious.

But he thought about it again, this is because he has become more vigilant, which is manifested by the superposition of obsessive thinking. He even checks the door lock three times before closing the door at night.

After closing the bedroom door, pressing the anti-lock button, and checking the places in the bedroom where people might hide, he lay down on the bed.

Jack knows that he has an advantage, that is, once he completes the compulsive behavior, he will become very at ease and be able to sleep until dawn without any suspicion.

The next day, he got up very early, and after breakfast, he went to the "Tingwu" store on Chunyu Street at the usual time and started business.

There are many sculptures in the store, but except for the new product he discovered after his rebirth-the animation sculptures have good sales, other works are still tepid.

Of course, the income from animation sculptures is not large, and it mainly relies on quantity to win. The truly fine works are still Like blood pupils and fake Alen.

Most of the better works before were natural landscapes, Buddha statues or sculptures with meanings.

No sculptures were sold in the morning. At noon, Jack temporarily closed the store and went home to take the documents for adoption procedures and made a copy.

He packed the original and the copy in a paper document bag. At the hour of the afternoon working hours, he went to the Civil Affairs Department of the City Hall, submitted the copy, and printed, signed, and fingerprinted on the spot.

He had decided that no matter what, he would submit the application for adopting Clare first, and whether it would be approved was left to fate.

But this situation is rare, and Jack guessed that it would most likely not be approved.

When he came out of the Civil Affairs Department, his mobile phone rang. It was a landline number, and the smart number recognition showed "Qianguang Orphanage".

Jack was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was impossible to be approved so quickly, and contacted him directly. How anxious are they to send the child away?

After answering the phone, a strange man's voice came: "Hello, is this Mr. Jack Shen?"

"It's me. "

"Please wait a moment, Clare has something to say to you." The man seemed to be a staff member of the orphanage office.

After speaking, he handed the microphone to Clare who was waiting on the side.

A familiar and childish voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Uncle Shen, where are you now?"

Jack heard that her tone was a little wrong, and asked in confusion: "I'm on the street, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No." Clare suddenly lowered her voice, as if deliberately avoiding the people around her, and then whispered: "Do you have time? Can you come here? I feel that Sister Xiaoyu is a little strange…"

"Who?" Jack was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Are you talking about the volunteer Rainy? Is today her volunteer day again?"

"No, it wasn't her today, but she came, and she acted very strangely…" Clare seemed a little scared on the other end of the phone, "They don't believe what I just saw, can you come over?"

"Okay, I'll be right over. "Jack nodded.

After hanging up the phone, he hailed a taxi on the side of the road and headed straight to the Qiguang Orphanage.
