Chapter 143 Casting a Net

"Honestly, I don't know."

The old dean laughed dryly and said: "How about calling it anonymous? All the formalities, including the confirmation letter and the thank you letter we delivered, they didn't show up when they signed it. What we got in the end was only real money. , and a very...um...signature."

Gu Yan: "..."

Very... um... what do you mean?

The old dean also knows that the consortium behind this may be the key to them.He considered for a moment and said: "How about this, I will find a way to get you some of the original documents. Of course, the confidential part cannot be done, and I am not that capable as an old man. But the confirmation letter I can still try documents like thank you letters, do you need them?"

In this situation, of course, the more clues the better.

Even if it's just a small clue.

"It couldn't be better, I'm sorry." Gu Yan said.

The old dean: "But it will take some time, I have to contact some old friends. I'm not sure if they are busy now—"

He looked at the time, "—this time is probably either a meeting, or dealing with troublesome things. You know, troublesome things are always indifferent. If you don't come during the day, you like to pick them up when you get off work. "

Perhaps because he was afraid that they would be in a dull mood, the old dean made a few jokes, and blinked at Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi like a child.

Yan Suizhi smiled, and followed the words: "I have a deep understanding, this is probably some kind of mysterious law of the world."

The mysterious law is indeed widely used.

It took a lot of time for the old dean to contact his friends, and the communication indicated that he was busy.

"What did I say?" The old dean shrugged and said helplessly, "Maybe they won't be able to find time until evening."

Time flies by in Wine City much faster than in Decama.

It seems that after just saying a few words and dialing a few calls, black color appeared in the sky.

Qiao and Ke Jin finally came out of the closed room.

"I just received a message from Laura. She took a friend's private cargo flight and will arrive tonight." Qiao Chong Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan shook the smartphone.

His voice became even hoarse.

"My God, you kid." Upon hearing his voice, the old dean stuffed the untouched teacup over, "Take a couple of sips to moisten yourself, why are you so dumb."

Joe accepted the kindness, drank some slowly, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I talked too much."

His expression was a little tired, and the blood in his eyes hadn't disappeared.But the state is much better than before.

Gu Yan looked him up and down, felt relieved, didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.

Joe is very familiar with the way of caring for his buddies, and said: "Don't worry, I'm not crazy."

He handed the newly requested warm water to Ke Jin, watched the other party drink it slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Some people who didn't understand before said that Ke Jin was very dependent on me, and I supported him. To be honest, there is a For a while, I was too narcissistic and thought so. But later I found out that he was actually supporting me..."

"When I contacted friends from all walks of life before, I really couldn't control myself. My mind was full of yelling at that scavenger to fuck your ancestors, and my mind was full of rehearsing how I would torture him if I found him. How to make him kneel down and cry, regret and beg for mercy, how to make him go crazy and out of control, desperate and helpless...how to kill him."

As Joe said, he was silent for a while, and then laughed sarcastically: "I have all these in my mind, and I'm not sure if I accidentally brought out a crazy sentence or two while chatting on the newsletter."

So he stood in the corner the whole time and didn't look back for a long time.

"But when I saw his eyes, those crazy words couldn't come out."

As long as he looked at Ke Jin, the other party's clear and clean voice would sound in his mind, joking seriously: "——No, no, don't interfere with my logic. I'm angry, don't make trouble. I'm going to collect the evidence Slapping that scumbag one by one on the face is fair and aboveboard. You who are 'lynching him on a sack' are pure rioters, don't mislead me."

……

I don't know how many similar words appeared in his mind one after another, and those crazy thoughts were gradually submerged.

As long as Ke Jin is by his side, he can always calm down quickly, cheer up, and even try to smile twice.

Then, things didn't seem so bad.

"I promised him just now that I will collect all the evidence and nail that bastard into the execution ground openly. Waiting for him... When he recovers, maybe he will be happy and take off my rioter hat by the way."

……

It took time for Joe's friends to come to fruition, even if they did their best.

So they bid farewell to the old dean and planned to go to the residence first.

Qiao's taste in booking hotels in the wine city is the same as that of Gu Yan, and he usually stays at the silver tea on Cabbage Avenue when he comes.It is relatively quiet at night, suitable for rest.But after the matter of Mu Dingniao was brought out, he felt that it was too quiet there, so he became worried and booked a room in the busiest commercial area of ​​Wine City instead.

When they said this, they were walking in the front yard of the orphanage.

Those young people who came to help had just rested at this time, chatting and preparing to go home while loosening their muscles and bones.

Joshua Dale ran over when he saw Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan.At first, he was still scratching his head, but when he heard Joe talk about the hotel, his eyes lit up immediately, "Are you going to live on Shuangyue Street?"

"Yes." Gu Yan nodded.

"That's really great. Double Moon Street is much closer to us..." Joshua Dale said, "Grandma Kitty would like to invite you to dinner, is that okay?"

"Grandmother Kitty?" Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan looked at each other, thinking that this address was a bit interesting, "You mean Ms. Kitty Bell who lives next door to you?"

Joshua Dale nodded, "Well, that's her."

Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows, "Are you very powerful, so you abducted a grandma for yourself?"

"What is abduction!" Joshua Dale blushed, and glared at Yan Sui.

Some days without seeing each other, Yan Suizhi can still make this brat blush and thick neck.

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Joshua Dale said, "Wait a minute."

He turned around and ran outside the gate, dragging a person over.

It was a boy a few years older than him, but in the eyes of Yan Suizhi and the others, he was still a kid.

"You tell me." Joshua yelled at the boy in front of everyone, and stood beside him as a supervisor.

"Uh...I'm Chester, I met you last time." The boy felt guilty when he saw Yan Suizhi, "Um... how are your legs?"

Yan Suizhi: "Very good, how about letting him say hello to you?"

Chester: "..."

Gu Yan: "..."

As soon as he heard that someone started not speaking human words again, Gu Yan asked, "How is Ms. Kitty Bell?"

Chester was freed from the situation where he was blushing and had a thick neck, and immediately said: "It's all right. I recovered very early, and now I am in very good health."

Gu Yan nodded.

"That's right," Chester said, "Joshua told me you were coming, and I told Grandma Kitty again, and she told me to come and invite you to dinner together. As an apology for the last time I...splashed water, And a thank you for the case."

Seeing that Yan Suizhi and the others wanted to decline, Joshua Dale added: "Whether Chester can come in to sleep tonight depends on this dinner."

……

When they arrived at Kitty Bell's house, they found that much had changed.

The wall that originally separated Joshua and Kitty's house was cut open, and a door that could pass through both sides was erected, which was equivalent to merging the two houses into one.

The old lady who had been hurt and hospitalized did not change her kindness. She took the brother and sister who also suffered because of the case into her wing, and gave them an elder they could rely on and a home.

But even after the merger, the room is still not big, and the dining table is an old-fashioned small long table, which can barely accommodate everyone.

Whether it is Yan Suizhi, Gu Yan, Qiao or Ke Jin, they are not short, and they are a little crowded when they sit down.

Yan Suizhi and the others have almost never had such a dining experience, and the only one who has this experience is Ke Jin.He had experienced this crowded atmosphere in the orphanage when he was a child, arm rubbing against arm, sometimes unable to let go of both hands.But they had an unusually gentle and interesting aunt who took care of them, so those days were not too gloomy for him, and he even missed them occasionally.

Of course, these were just what Qiao and Gu Yan had heard from Ke Jin.

When listening to it, Joe actually couldn't understand the kind of psychology that people are crowded and happy.But now, they're sitting with their arms squeezed together, and everyone feels fine.

When Joshua Dale's younger sister Luo Xi saw Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan, she narrowed her eyes with a smile.

The little girl stood by the door and didn't come in. After laughing at them, she turned around and ran away.After a while, he rushed into the house again in a hurry, stuffed two candies into Yan Suizhi's palm, and then stuffed two candies into Gu Yan's too.

She is very strange to Qiao and Ke Jin, and she would never talk to him in the past.But this time, for the first time, she also stuffed them with sugar.

Joshua Dale commented: "The little girl is crazy."

No one can refuse the most direct and purest kindness that belongs to children.

But when Luo Xi stuffed Ke Jin with candy, the others still sweated quietly.This kind of sudden action can easily startle Ke Jin out of his own world, causing him to lose control of his emotions.

Ke Jin stared at the candy in his palm for a long time before he realized it.

He peeled off one of them and put it in his mouth.After a while, another one was put into Joe's hand.

So... Master Qiao was also crazy.
