Chapter 142 Casting a Net

Joe didn't see the message from Eunice right away.

For two hours, for a full two hours, he has been busy contacting various people who can be contacted, checking port security records, pet consignment records, and passenger records...

All the registration records that can be found through their network, all the remaining surveillance images, photos and videos, all of them are required.

His communication has never stopped, and he will dial a new one when he hangs up.He looked extremely busy, and he didn't stop talking for two hours, so that his lips were literally covered with a layer of dry skin.

The dean of the orphanage was stunned, and he kept looking at Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan inquiringly.

"It's okay." Gu Yan glanced in Qiao's direction, and said in a deep voice, "...he just needs a way to vent his anger."

They are no longer in the small archive room, but in a living room next to the archive room. Ke Jinan sat quietly on the sofa by the window, at first he was still staring at the tall branches outside the window, but the gray After the freckle, he withdrew his gaze and stared at a certain point in the void in a daze.

With his back to everyone, Joe stood in a corner, covering his forehead, and talking to the person on the other side of the communication like a cannonball.

Yan Suizhi's identity is inconvenient, there are very few names in the address book, and there is nothing to contact.

Gu Yan, on the other hand, found some trustworthy friends, including Laura who was already concerned about Ke Jin's situation.

Knowing the general situation, Laura exhausted all her life and still couldn't hold back a curse, and then the lady who was always in a hurry when she was in school dropped a sentence: "Are you in the wine city? I'm going to the port now!"

Qiao's voice became hoarse, and upon hearing this, he turned his head and said to Gu Yan from a distance: "Laura? She wants to come here now? It's too rushed, but it's not necessary."

He actually looked calm, not "crazy" as Eunice exaggerated, only the bloodshot eyes showed his emotions.

Laura heard his voice and said in the communication: "It's not necessary, I don't know what I can do when I go, but whatever, I want to find you now! Even if I want to talk to Ke Jin Woolen cloth."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the communication.

Joe dialed a new communication and repeated the words countless times.

Until he flipped through the address book and found that he had already searched for all the credible people, and there was no way to dial.He lowered his head, looked through the address book several times, and finally put away the screen.

He just stood facing the wall silently for a while, took a deep breath, and then turned around, his eyes fell on Ke Jin.

Ke Jin was still in a daze, unaware.

Qiao looked at him for a long time, walked over softly, and stood in front of Ke Jin.

He raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to hug him, but he hesitated for a while and then retracted, his fingers clenched into fists.

He stood for a while, then crouched down.

Ke Jin, who had been in a daze, finally realized that there was an extra person in front of him belatedly.

Qiao raised his head and looked at him from his angle. Ke Jin nodded slightly, his eyes fell from his lowered eyelashes, and he looked at him quietly.At that moment, there was an extremely gentle illusion.

This kind of gaze is extremely unbearable.

The bones at Qiao's jaw moved, as if clenched and then loosened, and then whispered to Ke Jin in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry..."

Sorry for searching for so long and missing such a detail...

I'm sorry I didn't find out the truth sooner and made you wait for so many years in the silent world...

Ke Jin's eyes moved for a moment, as if he had concentrated for a moment, and then dispersed due to some physical force majeure.

He just stared at Qiao Fa with his eyes downcast for a while, and then his eyes were drawn away by the sound outside the window.

Just such a diversion of sight, Joe lowered his head as if he couldn't stand it, his eyes turned red.He frowned, closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, knelt there and didn't speak for a long time.

As soon as Yan Suizhi lowered his eyes, he felt his face was touched.

He turned his head and saw Gu Yan tilting his head towards the door.

He froze for a moment, then understood immediately, and got up quietly.The three of them left the reception room one after another and closed the door behind them.

"You guys sit here for a while, and I'll send someone to deliver the prepared refreshments."

"no need."

"Yes." The old dean couldn't help but push them into the empty room next door, and said, "Go in and sit."

As he spoke, he glanced at the room where Joe and Ke Jin were staying, and walked away with a sigh.

There are not many welfare homes under repair, but the most idle houses.As soon as the two of them sat down in the next room, the old dean really came back with refreshments.

Yan Suizhi and the others got up to help, put the refreshments on the high table, and then sat down again.

"As I get older, I feel uncomfortable after being hungry for a while." The old dean grumbled, "I also left some tea for the two people next door, and I will eat some when they come out later. They look so bad."

He said, bowed his head and took a sip of tea slowly.

Yan Suizhi scanned his face, and said, "Dean, do you have something to say?"

The old dean paused, then swallowed the tea slowly, hesitated for a moment before saying: "I have something to say, but I haven't thought about telling you this, will it bring you trouble."

Yan Suizhi turned the cup around and said warmly to him, "Tell me about it, and only after listening will you know that it's not troublesome."

"I just listened to it. What you said...reminds me of an incident I encountered before." The old dean said.

In fact, before that, he avoided talking about some things.

But just now next door, these young guests did not avoid the old man at all when they dialed the communication to explain the matter.It is obvious that he has released absolute respect and trust first.

Then if he knew something but kept silent, he would have let down the goodwill of these young people.

"Before this, my orphanage was closed for several years, you know that?" said the old director.

Yan Suizhi said: "I have heard about it, but it is temporarily closed."

That's why he still left a share in the inheritance distribution.

The old dean nodded and said: "Yes, at that time it was said that there was a problem with the operation and it was temporarily closed. But in fact, I really thought about not opening it anymore."

"why?"

The old dean didn't say the reason directly. He was in a daze for a moment and said, "You may not know that when I was young, I worked for the Union government. I supervised welfare homes, orphanages and some charitable funds. Transferred to Liquor City. At that time, Liquor City was even more chaotic than it is now. When I first arrived, I was very desperate. I felt that I would spend my whole life here. Later, I may have been lucky and ran into a kind consortium who wanted to follow me. The government of Jiucheng is joining forces and wants to pull this side..."

Hearing this, Yan Suizhi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

It was Gu Yan who responded, "I have heard a little bit about it."

Most of the infrastructure in Wine City was renovated and upgraded with the support of that consortium, otherwise it would be a veritable interstellar slum and garbage dump.

"Actually, it's not a consortium, it's an anonymous union of two." The old dean said, "A very caring person, very kind. The initial funds were also used in local areas. Look at the facilities that are still in use in Wine City I knew it. But the good times didn’t last long, and the whereabouts of the money began to become more and more unclear. The water was too deep. I just transferred to Liquor City. I have a title but no real power. Going against my heart, I simply left my public office and started this orphanage myself."

"Probably more than ten years ago, there was a series of cases in Decama." The old dean recalled, "The principal culprit was the vice president of the hospital, who was mainly in charge of technical research, and was accused of using medical treatment in the name of A lot of people have been harmed by conducting genetic experiments on patients. Oh, by the way, you may have heard of this case. It was Mr. Yan who accepted the case at the beginning, aren’t you his students?”

Halfway through hearing this passage, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan frowned, but soon corrected their expressions.

Hearing the old dean's question, they nodded and said: "I really know."

"When Mr. Yan accepted the case, the defendant was acquitted. But after that, he was brought to court again. He deserved his crime and went to prison." The old dean said, "In fact, there are still cases in this case Some follow up."

Yan Suizhi: "Follow-up?"

"Yes. In addition to Decama, the defendant's main base camp for genetic experiments actually has Wine City. The scale of Wine City is much larger than that of Decama. The construction and operation of the initial deception are top-notch. It’s in the name of the government, and it’s funded by that well-intentioned consortium.” The old dean said, “Since this matter mainly involves the Jiucheng government, it’s inevitable that this place will become more chaotic, and it’s all handled in secret. Unless the high-level government , other people can't find anything. I still rely on my original position and contacts to know something."

The old dean sighed and said: "At that time, I was quite aggressive. After I found out, I couldn't be angry. I screened all the information I had when I was in office and contributed some key evidence. In the end, it led to a big change of staff in the wine city government. That The consortium also cut off its financial support to Wine City. After that, it pushed the wave along the way and pushed the review in Wine City to Decama. Didn’t Decama carry out an innovation a few years ago, and all residents underwent identity verification and address updates."

Yan Suizhi was very impressed during the audit, because when he registered his residence, the system skipped for a long time, and his usual residence defaulted to the long-distance shuttle.

The old dean continued: "Actually, the essence is to conduct an investigation on Decama. It is said that the driving force behind it is the consortium that was tricked in the wine city. I learned from friends in the government that it actually warned many people. There are few people, and the rats in the gutter were either killed or moved urgently."

It is said that persimmons are soft, the old director offended people because of that series of incidents, and the orphanage was forced to close down.

He once felt troublesome and troublesome, and thought about staying away from it completely, raising flowers and growing grass by himself, why bother with other people's life and death.

It wasn't until recently that he received a gift from Yan Suizhi that he changed his mind under the touch.

"The reason why I think this matter has something to do with you is because I have seen the shepherd bird you are looking for when I was investigating the key evidence, and before and after the orphanage was forced to close." The old director said, "But at the time, I just thought this bird was strange, so I didn't think much about it."

Gu Yan frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Who is the anonymous funder behind the consortium you mentioned?"

To be able to investigate Liquor City and de Kama in an effort to fuel the flames, one must have something in one's hand and know some key information.
