Chapter 140 The Scavenger

In fact, in those years, Yan Suizhi had very little contact with the orphanages of the major welfare institutions. He only learned about the situation at the time of the initial donation. personal.

Seriously, this is at best a "meeting", which cannot be defined as a friend.

So Yan Suizhi was actually surprised when he heard the title "old friend".

"May I ask, who is your old friend?"

The dean put on the goggles again, and his eyes fell on Yan Suizhi again, "A very interesting gentleman, who has quietly provided financial support many times through different accounts."

"Secretly provided by changing accounts? Then how do you know it's him?" Joe was curious.

The young master didn't know the relationship between Yan Suizhi and the orphanage at all, and thought that the old director was talking about some kind stranger.

The old dean gave a short laugh, which made him look like a honest elder, "I can see it. It may not be seen in other places, but it is obvious here. Because he is the only one in my orphanage. Will donate such a large amount, I know it is him when I look at the accounts."

The old dean nodded his head, "An old man's intuition."

Yan Suizhi suddenly felt that the word "old friend" was really appropriate when the old gentleman said it.

Even if they only saw one side in total.

"Actually, the orphanage can be reopened because of him." The old dean sighed, with a slightly low tone, "Because I received a letter from the inheritance committee last month."

"Inheritance Committee?" Qiao finally realized belatedly, glanced at Yan Suizhi, then at Gu Yan, "It can't be..."

The old dean cast him a questioning look.

"...Our dean, right?" Joe finished the second half of the sentence.

"Your dean?" The old dean was taken aback for a moment.

"He used to use the abbreviation Y. I don't know if the old friend you mentioned is him." Gu Yan said.

"Mr. Y..." The old dean repeated himself, looking at everyone differently, "Are you students of Mr. Yan?"

Obviously, even though he only met once, the old man still remembers the appearance of that young man. He may have seen him in a certain report, knew who he was, knew that he became a lawyer, and became the youngest man in the University of Metz. the Dean.

"Can you know the abbreviation of Y... You are not ordinary students, you should be very close to Mr. Yan?" said the old dean.

"Well. Very... close." Gu Yan said: "I'm sorry, I didn't say much in the communication before."

The old dean waved his hand, "I understand, I understand. So what is the purpose of your visit today?"

"Actually, I want to ask you about a person, which is related to certain cases." Gu Yan simply went straight to the point.

Thanks to Yan Suizhi's "old friend", the old dean's attitude has changed subtly compared to before.

He was kind and polite before, but whether it was a simple conversation in the newsletter or the first two sentences of small talk, he could feel that his words were reserved.That is the attitude towards stranger visitors, enthusiastic but distanced.

But this time it was different, he stopped laughing and became more serious.

The old dean pursed his lips, wondering what he was thinking about. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, "Who are you asking?"

They released photos on the website of Yuncao Welfare Institute.

It was a group photo taken many years ago. There were many children in the photo, standing in three rows. The young ones were even held in their hands. The older ones were sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were about to grow up.

The dean himself was among them, along with some administrators and nurses from the orphanage.

Most of the people were smiling, and occasionally a few were blinded by the sun and couldn't care less about laughing.

Yan Suizhi pointed to a boy in the back row and asked, "Who is he?"

The boy in the photo is wearing a simple T-shirt and trousers, with short hair on his head and his hands behind his back.It can be seen from his grinning lips that he is smiling, but there is still a lingering gloom in his brows and eyes.

At this time, his earlobe was still clean, without the spade tattoo.

"Is this child?" the old dean said slowly, "I remember his name was Don at that time, he must be 17 years old. This photo is quite old, nearly 30 years ago. At that time, the orphanage had just been approved for two years. It's just getting bigger. The pictures are of the first extended families."

"I have a deep impression of this child." The old director said, "Most of the children in the photo are from the wine city, but the latter few are not."

He swiped his finger over the boy named Dorn, and nodded to the two people on his left and right, "They were sent from other places for various reasons. As you know, not every A child can adapt to the atmosphere of an orphanage or a welfare home, so occasionally there will be transfers. The staff call this moving, but I think those children should not call it that in their hearts, and they may feel that they are wandering.”

The old dean said, "I chatted with him. He actually talked a lot. When he talked about some things, he would show off a little bit. Of course, that's normal. They don't get many things, so occasionally there are some things. Not bad, can't help but let other people know. But this kid is a little too concerned about this kind of thing... how to say, it can be seen that he is not very happy to see others get better things, whether it is luck But what happened? When he saw other people being unlucky, he would occasionally show jokes or even gloat. This made his popularity not very good, and he was always alone. Going astray, so I will talk to him from time to time."

He recalled for a moment, with a lost expression on his face, "But unfortunately, it was too late when I met him. He turned 18 after staying here for a year, and according to league regulations, he doesn't need to be under guardianship anymore. I remember He was here for his 18th birthday, the carer prepared him cake and presents, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he submitted his application and left the next day."

"Then, do you know where he went afterwards?" Yan Suizhi asked.

"I know a little bit." The old dean said, "Although according to the regulations, these children will not be under our guardianship after they become adults, but we will still keep in touch. After all, this is their home. If they have a bad life, we will Help them as much as possible. But there are some children who are reluctant to mention this place after they go out, and they are cut off from before the age of 18. After he left, he lost contact with this place. I can only get it through some connections. I know part of his movements. He stayed in Wine City for a while, and then went to Nest Star, and he is a member of Nest Star."

Hearing this, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan looked at each other.

The information gradually overlapped, and they should have found the wrong person.

"Then do you have any news about him?"

The old dean shook his head, "The last time I heard about him was 25 or six years ago. A nurse in the courtyard saw him on the shuttle to Decama. The kid said he was living a good life. Yes, he went on a business trip to Decama and helped people with some things. But he didn’t mention what unit he was doing in. After that until now, I haven’t heard any news.”

The old dean hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This is actually a bit strange. I have worked in the government for many years and have some connections. To tell you the truth, I asked my friends in the filing system to help me because I was worried about that child, but No trace of him was found, as if he had only lived for a few years after being released from the orphanage, and then disappeared from the world."

"disappear?"

Master Qiao is the most sensitive about this kind of thing.

Almost as soon as he heard similar words, he would subconsciously think: "Don't you have genetic modification?"

The old dean was stunned for a moment, his expression a little dazed, and then turned into deeper regret, because he knew very well in his heart that if a person needs to rely on genetic modification to hide his tracks, it will not be a good thing.

Yan Suizhi, Gu Yan and the others found more than a dozen photos, spanning far more than three to five years.In addition, after Joe and Eunice got the news, they searched their database with "shepherd bird" and got some fragmented information.

Putting the two together, it is almost certain that the scavenger has been active for at least 20 years, and it may even still exist until now.

And the reason why he has been hiding so well for so many years, perhaps, as Joe guessed, is due to genetic modification——

Every time some people are eliminated, he will change his skin just to be on the safe side.

It is very difficult to find such a person.

The more relevant information there is, the greater the hope.

Yan Suizhi asked: "About this Don, do you still have any information?"

"When he was admitted to the orphanage, there was a file of his past." The old director said, "But it was all before the age of 17."

"Can you let us have a look?"

The old dean said: "I can only show you a part within the specified range."

"Thank you."

The archives are located in this office building, in a room on the west side of the first floor.The room is not big, and there are several optical computers working inside, emitting a slight fluorescence.

"The staff has not arrived yet, and I and a few teachers are still in charge here." The old dean said.

"teacher?"

"Oh yes, they are the ones you saw when you entered the office just now." The old dean smiled again when he said this, "Several friends, are willing to help me. We plan to set up supporting classes in the orphanage And Weekend Academy, it's always good to teach those kids a little bit more before they become adults."

The old dean slowly operated the optical brain.

Yan Suizhi and the others waited politely aside without urging them.

After a while, the optical brain buzzed and spit out some simulated paper pages, which contained some photos, archives and transfer letters.

The old dean thoughtfully prepared four copies and distributed them to them.

It's just that when it was passed on to Ke Jin, Ke Jin seemed to be unaware, still standing by the window with his back to them.

"Uh..." The old dean was a little uncertain about Ke Jin's state, and neither handed over nor accepted the materials in his hand.

Qiao's train of thought just now was interrupted, and he nodded at the old dean and said, "Thank you, if he wants to read it, just read it with me."

The first page of the information is a transfer letter, which shows that Dawn lived in an orphanage on Nest Star until he was 10 years old.Attached to the transfer letter was a file issued by the orphanage, in which there was a column stating his experience, performance and some preferences in the orphanage.

It is specifically mentioned in it that Dawn likes birds very much and is overly dependent on them. He has domesticated a shepherd bird almost without a teacher, and he takes it with him everywhere. When he was 10 years old, the shepherd bird he tamed was injured and died. For this reason, he had conflicts with several children.

This is the main reason for his transfer.

Immediately following these two documents is a letter of acceptance.

The accepting unit is an orphanage in Decama. The discipline method here is more scientific, much better than that of Nest Star.Don stayed in this Decama orphanage until he was 17 years old, and encountered some unhappiness, and was then transferred to the Yuncao Orphanage in Wine City.

But the point is not here, Yan Suizhi's eyes fell on the name of the orphanage located in Decama, and he frowned deeply: "Milan Orphanage..."

He raised his head abruptly and met Gu Yan and Qiao's eyes.

The Milan Orphanage is where Ke Jin once stayed.

This made it hard for them not to think of Lee Connor who was at large, the culprit who caused Ke Jin's mental problems.

He was also carrying his life, and also escaped the search by genetic modification.

Qiao turned his head to look at Ke Jin, but Ke Jin was still unaware, and his eyes were fixed on a certain high place.

They followed Ke Jin's gaze and saw a lush tall tree in the backyard. On the branches of the tall tree, there were a few resting birds.

That is the most common gray spotted finch, except for the indistinguishable tail feathers, which are exactly the same as the shepherd bird.
