"Mr. Charles!"

"Mr. Charles!"

The maid stood at the open door with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, knocked lightly on the door, and greeted Dean Charles, who was standing at the window.

Nearly ten years of maid experience, so that she has a very good understanding of her master's habits, the dean very much hates that others break into the room without knocking on the door, which will make the other party very unsafe, so all the servants and patrol officers know that even if the other party is "outside the spirit", they must first knock on the door to remind the other party to enter the door.

"Ahh Coffee on the table, close the door! Dean Charles, who had come back to his senses, glanced at the maid at the door, commanded, and looked out the window again.

"Yes, sir." After the maid put the coffee away, she slowly exited the room and closed the door.

"Jingle bell!"

"Jingle bell!"

The ringing of the phone interrupted Dean Charles's silence again, and he walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice: "Hey! Hello! ”

"Dean, your voice sounds very worried!" The familiar thick male voice sounded again, and there was no need to guess who Charles was.

"Ralph, I'm not in a good mood, Hessel may be vegetative." Holding the phone, I opened the drawer, and I was greeted by a pipe and a box of tobacco to dispel my worries.

"It's not really good news, he's a good guy." Ralph was silent for a moment, and then a voice came from the other side of the phone again: "Dean, I believe that my next words should be able to divert your low mood. ”

"Good news?" Dean Charles asked.

"Further news, Dean."

"That's right, Dean, two days ago we found out what appears to be an important member of the Divine Light Church, appearing outside a hat shop in the city of London."

"Who is it?"

"I'm sure you're familiar with this person, Dean."

Ralph hung Charles's appetite and squeezed toothpaste slowly, which made Dean Charles on the phone feel the urge to beat him up.

"Ralph, if you talk nonsense in the next second, I'm sure you won't get even a penny from me in the future."

"Algernon, Dean, don't worry, look at you like this, it's easy to get angry!" Ralph said.

"Algernon? Who is he? How I don't remember. Charles hesitated and asked.

"Ahh By the way, his original name was O'Hara. After hearing this, Ralph on the other end of the phone reacted, and the other party changed his name.

"O'Hara, translator? That young corporal who worked as an outgoing interpreter many times, are you talking about him? After hearing the name, Dean Charles felt a little familiar.

The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst is divided into five colleges: the Old College, the New College, the Blazing Sun College, the Schliewenham College, and the Shenghui College.

O'Hara, a student of the old academy, was one of the most promoted students in the academy in twenty years, and his grades in many subjects were at the top of the ranks of the vast majority of his classmates. For the operation of weapons, among the cadets of the same class, he took first place for two consecutive years. Fluent in four languages: English (Britannia), French, Japanese, Chinese. He was particularly prominent among his fellow students, who twice served as a foreign translator during his time at the university, and attended military meetings with the senior management of the academy.

What is particularly striking is that the study has not yet been completed, and he mysteriously disappeared after returning home from vacation. It is suspected to be related to a local homicide.

Dean Charles put down the microphone in his hand, silently picked up another telephone microphone on the table, dialed a few times, and said the name O'Hara to the other party, and not long after, Butler Scotto knocked on the door and walked in, put a file bag in his hand on the table, and pushed out of the room.

Slowly opening the file bag is like opening a dusty memory. Holding a stack of paper documents in his hand, he was reminded of the names that had appeared in the past.

Ralph on the other end of the phone was holding a silent microphone in his hand, combined with the words that were not very clear from the receiver just now, he vaguely guessed what Dean Charles was doing now, and I believe that after this time, the other party can deepen his impression of the name Algernon!

O'Hara, a grass-level figure, don't look at the bald man now, the original short hairstyle when he was in the military academy, with a sturdy body, like the color of autumn leaves, is more energetic and capable.

Dean Charles knows about him, and it should be said that not only O'Hara, but anyone who has excellent grades in the college, outstanding performance, and unusual talents or talents, he, the head of the college, will remember. The talents will be recommended and recommended to serve in different departments of the military according to their performance in the academy.

O'Hara isn't the best, but he's the most remarkable.

Translation, or military translation, compared with full-time translators in government departments, is not comparable in terms of language advantages, and this alone is not easy.

You must know that O'Hara did not come from a good background, not from a wealthy family, but an orphan who was ruthlessly abandoned, and the four languages he mastered, except for pure Britannian English, which was learned over time under the influence of most of the teachers in their orphanage, the other three languages were learned at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, which shows his strong language learning ability, among which Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn.

It is difficult for such a student not to be famous in a military academy in this era, and it is difficult to not attract attention. And his mysterious disappearance also caused a storm in the academy at that time, whether it was the academy or the students speculated, there was everything, but no matter what, O'Hara never came back.

Everything has a cause, just like the Buddhist theory of cause and effect. The hospital later conducted a rigorous investigation into O'Hara's life and what happened to her. There are no impermeable walls in the world, there are no eternal secrets, and the hospital investigated the matter from an official point of view, but the information obtained was that O'Hara was involved in a homicide, and the local police department refused to tell more details.

The Military Academy is outraged that it has lost such a capable cadet without even knowing the cause, but the local police have the right not to inform them of the specific circumstances of the case. For this kind of thing, the hospital found a private investigator to find out the truth, and at the same time, Dean Charles found out about it and found Ralph to investigate secretly.

Ralph is a professional and a veteran of this business, and Dean Charles told him that evening that accurate news had reached the manor the next afternoon, and in terms of the speed of investigation, it was no worse than those so-called full-time intelligence officers, and in some cases even faster.

It all started when O'Hara returned to his hometown, St. Weis, a very small city in England, with a combined population of less than 2,000 people, which was still the most crowded. Although the town has a small population, it is very famous in the United Kingdom, where the famous Royal St. Weiss Church was built. Whenever the festival comes, it will be very lively, like a pilgrimage, come here to pray, ask for the Lord's praise and repentance of your sins.

The city of St. Vess is small and has a small population, but the sparrows are small. The orphanage was established in 1830 and was opened by the eldest son of the then chief executive of the city of St. Vis when he returned from a study trip. Many years later, when the chief executive's youngest son inherited his father's legacy and became the new consul, the maintenance of the orphanage was much more intensive.

The history of the St. Weiss Orphanage is nearly 100 years, during which there have been three successive directors, the first is the eldest son of the administrator, and then the orphanage has changed hands several times, falling to the former director Henry, Henry treats all the orphans as his own children, O'Hara is one of the most cared for, childhood autism, so that he can't play with other children, it is Henry who helps him get closer to the relationship with his friends.

In O'Hara's mind, Dean Henry was like Jesus, sacrificing himself for the children of the orphanage. However, perhaps because of his age, the old dean, who is nearly eighty years old, is far less energetic than he was when he taught O'Hara and others. André, the vice-director, was chosen locally in Saint-Weiss and had been in the orphanage for more than a decade, and Dean Henry, who was deteriorating, gradually handed over the work in the orphanage to André, which led to the tragedy that followed.

André is in his forties this year, and he came to the St. Vis Orphanage to work diligently, and his performance was not very good, but he was also decent. It may be that time can really change a person, or show a person's sincerity. More than ten years of work has made Andre feel the "repetition" day after day, yes, "repetition" is like falling into infinite reincarnation, and it is still the same life, but I still remember it.

After a long time, maybe it's numbness, Andre doesn't care, but not long ago, his only son smoked marijuana, for fear that his father Andre would find out, he kept borrowing money from outside, but he didn't pay off his debts for a long time, and was finally arrested by the debtor. borrowed money to pay off the debt, but the story of his son smoking marijuana was spread by the local people, and no one was lending them money.

Andre wanted to borrow money from Dean Henry, but over the years, he had almost exhausted all of Dean Henry's money.

Dean Henry is not a nouveau riche, let alone a rich man with big assets, but a down-and-out businessman. The reason why he wanted to take over the orphanage was also because his deceased wife, Dean Henry, once had a child, but unfortunately he died of illness. After his wife left, in order to commemorate his deceased wife, but also because he was tired of doing business for many years, he came to St. Vis City and bought the ownership of St. Vis Orphanage.

One thing to mention here is that the reason why the St. Weiss Orphanage has existed for so many years and is still not because the descendants of the chief executive are still local nobles, and they also have the lowest title from the baron, in line with the will of their ancestors, even if the family is not running the orphanage, it still ensures the existence of the orphanage, which is the biggest reason why the orphanage has existed for so many years.

Money is indispensable in any time and in any place, and it is an "indispensable existence" that makes people become gods and demons. That's how Andre was changed, and a creditor came up with the idea of selling orphans to fill the remaining debt hole.

Andre struggled in his heart at first, but when he saw that the creditors kept coming to the door to force debts, he still succumbed to reality. Andrei didn't know what the other party wanted these orphans for, only that the other party was willing to spend a lot of money to buy these orphans, and he could pay off the debt.

However, it is not for any orphan, but for children who are healthy and good-looking. Every time, the creditor took a few people in cloaks to choose children while it was dark, and the children who were also selected would be sent away by Vice President Andre under various names, or simply said that they were sick and died, and there was no investigation in the future.

Through the creditor, Andrei quietly sold the orphans, and from the beginning to the end, Andrei did not know the whereabouts of these orphans, the only thing he knew was that his son's debt was paid off, and he also recovered his previous financial situation because of the trafficking of orphans, and even made a small profit.

Of course, one will ask, how is it possible that there are so many orphans in the orphanage for Andrei to sell?

Although the city of San Vis is small, it is the only city with an orphanage within nearly 1,000 kilometers of the surrounding area, and those big cities are big, but no one has invested in the construction of orphanages.

During the Cold War, not long after the war, many cities and villages were destroyed, and many more families persecuted by the war were left behind, as if to prove that the war existed. Parents have lost their children, wives have lost their husbands, children have lost their parents, all of these are the "after-effects" of the war.

It is precisely because of the existence of these "sequelae" that in order to calm the haze left in people's hearts, the state has subsidized and expanded the scale of construction for orphanages, welfare homes, and hospitals that originally existed in major cities. For cities that do not have them, the corresponding urban construction is carried out taking into account the geographical environment and surrounding conditions.

The St. Weiss Orphanage was also invested and built by the government, and many orphans from the surrounding towns were sent here, which made the orphanage here the largest number of people since its establishment.

Andrei initially sold orphans to pay off his debts, and was later tempted by money. From cautiously and secretly selling orphans, to becoming more and more bold to cheat orphans and sell them during the day. After a long time, someone will always notice, just like the old saying "There is no impermeable wall in the world, there is no eternal secret".
