It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 8 The Secret of the Archives Room
  Once this thought comes up, it can't be suppressed.

It tickled him like a hook.

Maybe this could be a clue?
  He struggled for a long time but still suppressed his fear and planned to go to the archives to take a look.

Thinking of being stabbed by a player last time, he felt scared.

Still can't put all our hopes on the players, it's too unsafe.

Lin Yi took the elevator to the fifth floor, where the archives room was.

Information about the elderly over the years is here.

There are also some unused sundries piled here, such as shabby tablecloths, empty glass bottles, and a small box of old-fashioned colorful headbands.

No one has been to the old archives for a long time. There are several boxes of sundries piled at the door and the handles are covered with dust.

When I walked into the archives room, I was hit by the smell of dust, and the wind that came in stirred up a cloud of dust particles.

Part of the white covering on the wall has peeled off, revealing the mottled red brick wall, and the carton seals on the iron shelves have blurred writing.

Lin Yi had no way of identifying what was in the cartons, so he could only open the boxes one by one and look at them.

In this dim space, yellowed files were opened one after another, recording the long history of this place.

Countless names and photos flashed before his eyes, and every face was smiling.

Hidden in each piece of information is a period of past events.

The people they took in were all old people who had nowhere to go, just like the ones he knew.

The cardboard boxes on the iron shelf had been rummaged through, but he could not find the file named Li Guihua.

Is there anything that has been missed?

Or is it that Li Guihua's files are no longer here and have been taken away?
  Lin Yi carefully looked through every place in the archives room, even the nooks and crannies, but still found nothing.

Looking at the file with other names written in his hand, he lamented. The photos on the file were too blurry, and it was impossible to match them without knowing the names.

Unfortunately, the only person whose name is known cannot find the file here.

Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his phone again. It was almost time for dinner. If he didn't leave, he would easily attract others' attention.

He quickly started to pack up the opened files. Unexpectedly, one of the files was not sealed and a piece of paper fell out of it.

It is a confirmation of death report.

The stamp on it caught Lin Yi's attention.

In addition to the hospital's seal, the seal also bears the seal of an insurance company.

"Insurance company?"

Lin Yi was a little curious, so he took out the file and flipped through it. There were also some insurance receipt information sheets in it.

It can be seen from this information that this old man purchased a high amount of accident insurance, and then died of an unexpected illness.

In the end, the insurance company settled the claim according to the sudden illness protection clause.

It seems to be a very ordinary insurance claim, and it seems to have no direct connection with the fire.

But Lin Yi always felt that something was wrong.

How can an elderly person who has been taken in get the money to buy a high amount of accident insurance?

He looked through several other files, and without exception they were the same as the first one.

Basically, there is a claim every six months, all due to death from accidental illness, and the insurance company is always blue.

Such regular deaths are intriguing.

The most recent claim was three months ago, when an old man named Zhao Lanxiang died of a sudden heart attack.

Even though he is not a medical student, he knows that some major diseases cannot be insured, let alone accident insurance.

Blue Sky Company actually agreed to settle claims every time. What kind of company is this?

It made him want to buy one.

Lin Yi glanced through all the files and found that the old people who were still alive in them all had such a high accident insurance policy.

Is the caring community cheating on insurance?

Could it be that taking in the elderly is used to obtain a large number of claims?

He frowned and analyzed. There must be someone within Blue Sky Company helping to do this, otherwise how could it be possible to succeed every time.

Lin Yi did some rough calculations and found that in less than two years, the Love Community had received claims of nine million yuan. This money is enough to renovate a dozen caring communities.

But until now this place is still old and run-down.

Where did the money go?

Could the fire be related to the money?

Could it be internal strife caused by uneven distribution of spoils?

The information in the archives not only did not bring useful clues to Lin Yi, but instead extended new questions.

"Snapped"

There was the sound of things breaking outside.

As soon as Lin knew someone was coming, he quickly stuffed all the information in the file back into the box as quickly as possible, and the boxes returned to their original state.

A clear sound of footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Xiao Lin, what are you doing here?" Director Li opened the door and stood at the door staring at Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi hurriedly dusted himself off and said, "Director Li, I want to find information about Grandma Li and see where her grandson is studying."

"Grandma Li misses her grandson very much. I want to take a photo and give it back to her."

"Really?" Director Li walked over quickly and opened a box on the ground. Everything inside was still there, no problem. "Then did you find it?"

"Isn't this the beginning of your search?"

Lin turned around and took a step back, stretching out his hand towards Director Li: "The dust in the archives is too big. I just moved all the boxes down and I was covered in dust."

"Xiao Lin, it's a good thing that you have a good intention, but you can't be too kind as a person."

Director Li smiled and didn't know if he believed Lin Yi's words. His eyes fell on the box behind him for a long time.

It was a moment before she spoke again.

"I will take care of Grandma Li's matter. It's very dusty here. Staying here for a long time will be bad for your health. Get out."

Lin nodded, picked up the salt and pepper melon seeds and rabbit lanterns that were placed aside, and walked quickly towards the door.

Behind him, Director Li's eyes were dim, and the nails of his hidden left hand became extremely sharp, aiming at Lin Yi's back vest.

Who would have thought that Lin Yi suddenly stopped, turned around and shook the bag of melon seeds in his hand towards Director Li: "Director Li, do you want to eat the salt and pepper melon seeds from Grandma Li's house?"

Director Li shook his head, holding his left hand close to his back. His eyes fell on the little rabbit lantern in Lin Yi's hand. He was silent for a while before he said, "No, you can keep it and eat it slowly."

Lin Yi noticed that the other party's movements had restrained, and he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left quickly.

The lights in the archives room flickered on and off. Director Li stood there, red liquid flowing down her forehead, making a ticking sound when it landed on the ground.

"What a smart kid." She reached out and touched the box next to her, "What a pity."

The middle of the aisle in the archives room was filled with shards of glass, a worn tablecloth was wrapped around a wooden box on the side, and a broken headband lay alone against the wall.

Lin Yi stepped over the shards of glass, kicked the head rope into the gap between the wooden box, and casually tore off the small strip of cloth clinging to the wall.

He quickly pressed the elevator button and left the fifth floor in the elevator.

He could feel that Director Li had murderous intentions towards him, but he didn't know why he gave up in the end.

Although Director Li hid quickly, he still caught sight of the opponent's sharp left hand.

In order to prevent being attacked by surprise, he planned to throw the melon seeds in his hand as weapons.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly stopped and kept staring at his lamp, which felt weird.

This time he was impulsive and shouldn't have acted so recklessly.

Knowing that he had nothing to hold on to, he ran to a dangerous place.

Fortunately nothing serious happened.

But this also reminded Lin Yi that if he wanted to survive, he must improve his strength.

But he didn't understand the system very well, so he could only find a solution from the players first.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about how to cheat a player, the elevator door opened.

The moment he stepped out of the elevator, the screen quietly changed. There was a red symbol in front of the original number 1.
