Chapter 81: Cheng'en Mansion
Fire and songs
Brief introduction:
A fire in the children's welfare home burned half of the sky in Haizhou City, and after the fire burned out, everyone found a charred corpse in the director's office...
The adopted son of a serial murderer turned into a rising political star in the Haizhou City Police Force after many years, while the daughter of the former captain of the Haizhou City Criminal Investigation Team embarked on the road of crime, and this fire that started from the children's welfare home changed the fate of many people in Haizhou City...
The fire burns through the darkness, but will the fire leave a trail of dust or will there still be sparks flickering in the dust?

Late at night in Haizhou,
The number 23:00 pops up on the electronic alarm clock at the head of the bed
Tan Qing, who should have fallen asleep at this point, was lying on the bed tonight but was excitedly tossing and turning, and she couldn't sleep for a long time: tomorrow is the day to report to the criminal police team, she looked at the uniform hanging at the head of the bed, which was ironed quite wide and neat, without a trace of wrinkles, and the whole heart was surging, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Okay, okay, I have to sleep, I have to be calm, otherwise I won't be beautiful tomorrow with two dark circles under my eyes." Tan Qing tried to carry out psychological hypnosis on herself, so that her hot beating heart could calm down, "I'm sleepy, I'm really sleepy..."
"On the first day of work, you have to put your best foot forward!" Tan Qing thought silently in her heart, turned around and pressed the switch next to the bed, and then poured herself heavily on the bed.
The room instantly became pitch black, with only a faint glimmer of light shining through the curtains and leaving a blur of light and shadow in the room.
"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep..."
Dozens of minutes later, however, the lights came back on. Tan Jing hung her head, rubbed her hair and got up again, painful and tangled: "Ah, what should I do?" I still can't sleep! ”
At this moment, suddenly a fire truck siren whistled from far and near, which was more sharp than the other. Tan Qing, who was still rolling on the bed, finally froze her body and remained motionless, she listened attentively, and it seemed that the fire trucks that followed were coming in the direction of her house.
Tan Qing hurriedly got out of bed, opened the curtains, opened the window, and immediately saw that the sky not far away had been reflected in red, the smoke was billowing, and the smell of burning came from afar, although it had almost drifted away here, it was still very pungent.
"It's not good, it's the location of the welfare home!" Tan Qing reacted, and her heart suddenly tightened. It is the only children's welfare home in Haizhou City, and she has just been there to volunteer last week. I was happy that the location of the children's welfare home was not far from the community where I lived, and I could have the opportunity to see more of these children in the future, but I didn't expect a sudden fire tonight.
Tan Qing hesitated for a moment, thinking that she couldn't sleep at night anyway, so it was better to go and see if there was anything she could help with, and when she thought of those children, she hurriedly grabbed a stack of clothes next to the bed, and just had time to grab her mobile phone, lock the door and run out.
Chapter 1
In Haizhou City on a November night, the cool breeze of the night has already written a chill on the body. When Tan Qing ran to the door of the Haizhou Children's Welfare Institute, there were already auxiliary police officers outside to pull up a cordon, and the nearby residents were standing in the cold wind in coats like Tan Qing, shivering, but they refused to leave, and they all gathered there to talk.
There are several fire trucks parked on both sides of the road, fortunately, the fire is not big, although it looks dangerous and terrible from a distance, but Haizhou is a first-tier city, the police response is fast, and the Haizhou Welfare Institute is a key security unit.
On the contrary, a group of frightened children stood on the side of the road, and several teachers in the welfare home hugged them and comforted them again and again, and the enthusiastic residents in the vicinity took their quilts and coats to wrap the children who hurriedly woke up from their sleep, for fear that one of them would freeze.
Tan Qing hurriedly surrounded her, she saw a teacher with a familiar face, so she inquired with her, fortunately, the security guards of the welfare home found out early, the firefighters also came in time, the fire was quickly extinguished, and the welfare home often organizes fire drills, dozens of children in the welfare home were a little frightened, and lost a few pairs of shoes on the way to escape, and there were almost no casualties.
Tan Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, these children in the welfare home were more or less physically disabled. Now that the living conditions are better, Haizhou City is a relatively economically developed and highly civilized city, as long as it is a healthy child, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, it will soon be "snatched" and emptied, and there are even many couples in need waiting in line for adoption.
These children are either physically or psychologically disabled, if they encounter a fire, it will be physically difficult to escape, or they have no intention of escaping, so Tan Qing has even prepared for the worst before coming. Now it seems that it is a blessing in misfortune, and none of the children have an accident.
She exhaled softly, and saw a barefoot little boy standing not far away, looking like he was already in his teens, but he was still holding a somewhat shabby rabbit plush toy in his hand, and he was wearing a flower cotton jacket sent by an unknown well-wisher, and she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart.
She still remembers the little boy who was impressed by him the last time she went to volunteer at the orphanage. Most of the children who stay in the children's welfare home are disabled, crested lips, cerebral palsy, or disabled, and you can see the difference between them and normal children at a glance, but Tan Qing thought he was really beautiful when she saw this boy for the first time, yes, that's right, it is "beautiful", maybe it would be a little strange to use "beautiful" to describe a boy, but the first thing that comes to mind when you see him is this word. Quietly, a person holding a little rabbit sat in his place, lonely and motionless, and no other children found him to play, and people couldn't help but feel pity at a glance.
At that time, Tan Qing felt strange, how could such a beautiful boy, who looked like nothing broken, still be left in the children's welfare home, and no one rushed to adopt him?
Later, I heard from the teacher in the welfare home that this little boy's name was Chu Hang, and his mother was still alive and could even be contacted. At that time, his parents were arrested for drug trafficking, and the amount was particularly huge, and his father was sentenced to death in court; Because of having him in her belly that year, her mother escaped death, and was changed from a death sentence to life imprisonment, and she is still locked up in a prison in Province G, but she may not be able to get out of prison in her lifetime.
"Xiaohang is also pitiful, the police sent him back then, saying that they couldn't find his blood relatives who could raise him, so they could only send him to our welfare home. His parents are all trafficking and producing drugs from village to village, especially his father's side is said to be a big head, so the relatives related to him are basically dead, those who are arrested are arrested, and some distant relatives don't want to have anything to do with their family at all. ”
Tan Qing couldn't help but sigh for Chu Hang, who knew that the teacher said again: "Alas, it doesn't matter if Xiaohang really has no guardian, there are a lot of couples with excellent conditions waiting to be adopted!" Who knew that his mother was not only a drug addict and drug trafficker, but also an HIV-infected person, and was still taking drugs before Xiaohang went to prison...... Poor people, Xiaohang was born with AIDS. This child's life was ruined by his parents! You said that if it weren't for this problem, Xiaohang would have been adopted a long time ago, but now when they heard that Xiaohang had AIDS, everyone hid far away and didn't dare to approach at all. It's the teacher in our welfare home, although we all know that general contact is not contagious, but ......" she said with a long sigh.
AIDS?
Hearing the teacher say that, Tan Qing couldn't help but stop approaching, but after a moment of hesitation, she walked over again, squatted down gently in front of Xiao Hang, and said with a smile: "Hello, Xiao Hang." ”

"Xiao Hang!" Tan Qing ran over and took the boy who was obviously frightened into her arms, "Are you okay?" Is there anything hurting? Xiao Hang came back from his sluggishness, was stunned, and finally relieved: "Sister Tan." He opened his hand
