The next day, Liu Chengcheng and Chu Yiheng set off to return to the capital.

The first thing I did when I got off the plane was not to go home, but to drive to an orphanage in the suburbs.

The three-storey old blue-and-white building stands at the foot of a sparsely populated hill.

This is the orphanage where Chu Yiheng stayed when he was a child.

"Is there anything you can do?" Inside the rusty iron door came an old man who was guarding the door.

Liu Chengcheng reacted quickly and pointed to Chu Yiheng beside him and said: "He stayed here when he was a child, and he has been living abroad all these years, and he finally returned to China once and hoped to come back to see it." Uncle, can you let us in? ”

Chu Yiheng was very cooperative, and instantly changed his face to reveal a nostalgic expression.

The uncle didn't ask much, and immediately opened the heavy iron door and let the two in.

"Uncle, thank you!"

After Liu Chengcheng thanked the uncle, he pulled Chu Yiheng and walked quickly to the building in front.

The two came to the orphanage to find out about the staff who had worked there and to learn about the situation and other victims.

"Excuse me, do you have anything to do?" A young staff member asked, looking at the two people in front of him.

Liu Chengcheng pointed at Chu Yiheng again and said: "My friend just came back from abroad, he used to live here, and I want to come over to find the staff at that time to catch up." ”

"Most of our old employees here have retired, how many years have you been here? I'll help you find out who the staff are. The staff asked Chu Yiheng enthusiastically.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Chu Yiheng's eyes, and he immediately replied, "Ninety-five." ”

"Ninety-five...... the staff, muttered to themselves and pondered for a while, and then said with a regretful expression on his face: "In 05, there was a fire in the data room, and the materials before that were all burned out, whether it was the staff or the children's materials, there was no more. ”

"Huh? Such a coincidence? ”

Liu Chengcheng and Chu Yiheng wrinkled their eyebrows and looked at each other, they didn't believe that this would be a coincidence.

"Yes! I remember it was caused by a short circuit in the wires, and even the computer burned to ashes. You may have to run for nothing. The staff shook their heads regretfully.

Liu Chengcheng thought that this matter was not simple and needed to be discussed in the long run, she smiled and said goodbye to the staff: "It's okay, thank you for your help, we will come again when we have the opportunity in the future, we will go first." ”

After speaking, Liu Chengcheng reached out and tugged at Chu Yiheng's sleeve and walked outside quickly.

What they didn't know was that there was a middle-aged woman standing on the second floor of the orphanage, and she listened to all of their conversations.

As they left, the middle-aged woman hurried downstairs.

The two of them walked side by side to the car parked on the side of the road with serious faces.

"Wait a minute."

Just as they were about to open the car door, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

The two of them looked behind them in a loud voice, only to see a middle-aged woman running towards them in a hurry, looking left and right like a thief.

She ran straight to Liu Chengcheng and whispered quickly in her ear: "I am a staff member of the orphanage, I know what you are looking for, I know a little about the things back then, we will meet at the Starbucks on the road in front of us in the evening, and we will talk in detail when the time comes." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged woman didn't wait for Liu Chengcheng to react, and ran back sneakily like when she came, and finally disappeared at the door of the orphanage.

"What did she tell you?"

Chu Yiheng was standing next to the cab on the other side, and he didn't hear the words of the staff.

Now because of curiosity, he opened his mouth to ask Liu Chengcheng.

"Get in the car first." Looking at the cautious appearance of the staff, Liu Chengcheng was also vigilant, and planned to tell Chu Yiheng after getting in the car.

After the two of them got into the car and closed the door, Liu Chengcheng repeated what the staff had just said to Chu Yiheng.

"Do you know that woman? Or do you feel familiar? Liu Chengcheng asked Chu Yiheng.

Chu Yiheng shook his head and responded: "The staff back then looked older than her, and they should have retired after so many years." ”

"Then how did she know about the past? You can't be a liar, right? Liu Chengcheng was skeptical.

Chu Yiheng started the car, thought as he drove forward, and finally decided: "It's impossible for a liar, she may have heard about the events of the year from the previous staff, in short, she will know when we go to the meeting at night." ”

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chu Yiheng's black cayenne stopped at the door of the agreed café on time through the traffic.

Chu Yiheng and Liu Chengcheng entered the restaurant side by side, and after looking around, they didn't see the staff member.

The two didn't think much about it, and in a conspicuous position directly opposite the door, they found a table and sat down to wait.

Time passed minute by minute, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The staff never showed up, which made the two very angry, thinking that she regretted the appointment.

"Don't wait, let's go directly to the orphanage to find her address and see if she is delayed by other things, or if she is playing with us!" Chu Yiheng couldn't sit still, and stood up from his position with the car keys.

Liu Chengcheng couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately agreed to Chu Yiheng's suggestion, got up and left the café.

The two went to the orphanage, and after describing the appearance of the middle-aged woman, they were quickly recognized by the staff inside, and successfully obtained the address of her home.

Then, the two of them searched for the location on the address non-stop.

"Knock knock, anyone? Is Chen Qing here? Liu Chengcheng and Chu Yiheng stood in front of a bungalow and knocked on the closed door vigorously.

After knocking for a while, there was no movement inside, Liu Chengcheng became impatient, and his hand slamming the door increased a little harder.

Unexpectedly, the door was slammed open by her.

It turned out that the gate was just closed and not locked.

"I think it's weird, let's be careful."

"Got it."

Before entering the door, Chu Yiheng always felt weird, and he hurriedly told Liu Chengcheng.

Then, the two pushed the door open and walked in, but the hall was empty.

The two glanced at each other, and Liu Chengcheng raised his hand and pointed to the small door on the right side of the hall and said, "The back should be the place to live, let's go and look for it." ”

Chu Yiheng nodded approvingly, then reached out to take Liu Chengcheng's hand and strode towards the back of the hall.

There was a two-story cement building inside, and the door on the first floor was hidden, and a bright light came out of it, and there was a faint sound of television.

"Watching TV at home!" Liu Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief and took Chu Yiheng's hand away at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengcheng stepped forward and pushed open the hidden door, revealing a living room with simple decoration.

She stepped into the living room, only to find that the couch was empty, and she turned her head to look in other directions.

The next second, her eyes widened in shock, and her body stiffened and retreated step by step towards the door.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yiheng looked at Liu Chengcheng's actions in confusion and asked.

Liu Chengcheng just retreated to the door, she leaned against the door with some weak legs, raised her hand and pointed inside, and said, "The person is dead." ”

"What?" Chu Yiheng exclaimed in surprise and stepped into the living room quickly.

I saw that on the door on the side of the living room, a rope as thick as a thumb was hung, and a staff member named Chen Qing hung himself on it.

"Come out! I immediately called the police. ”

Liu Chengcheng was used to seeing such a scene, and quickly eased up, she reached out and dragged Chu Yiheng out, then took out her mobile phone and walked outside.

The last clue has been broken, Liu Chengcheng thinks that there is something strange about this matter, and it is very likely that Li's father learned that they came to find evidence back then, so he killed Chen Qing first.

After she reported to the police, she asked Chu Yiheng to stay and wait for the police, while she left first.

There is one last way, Liu Chengcheng pinned all his hopes on this.

……

In the café of the high-end leisure club, a melodious violin sounds, and people enjoy the melodious music while sipping fragrant coffee.

In one corner of the café, Ms. Lee, like everyone else, sat on a sofa chair and closed her eyes to the music, her fingers playing rhythmically on her knees.

"Miss Li is sorry, there is a bit of traffic jam on the road."

Liu Chengcheng's figure entered the café, and she searched around before finding Li Meici's figure.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Li Meici opened her eyes, looked at Liu Chengcheng arrogantly and asked.

Liu Chengcheng casually ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter, and no longer wasting time to ask Li Meici directly: "Your father has done a lot of charity, most of them are sponsoring children in orphanages, does he often go to see those children?" Or did he ever bring the child home? ”

"Is Miss Liu a journalist? Why do you ask this? Li Meici looked at Liu Chengcheng strangely and asked rhetorically.

Liu Chengcheng lowered his eyes to hide the panic in his eyes, and then said with a reason: "It's nothing, after I heard about your father's deeds, I admired him more." ”

"You have a vision." Li Meici's vanity was bursting, and she proudly raised her chin and replied to Liu Chengcheng: "My dad has done a lot of charity, but I don't know about child sponsorship, where did you know this?" ”

Li Meici didn't know, could it be that after her father immigrated to Canada, there was no child abuse? Or did he hide it more deeply, so Li Meici didn't find the clues?

Liu Chengcheng stared at Li Meici's brows tighter and tighter, thinking about whether to find out to her about Li's father's evil deeds.

Let's see if we can open a breakthrough from Li Meici and find evidence of Li's father's crime.

However, in doing so, the risk of exposure is relatively large, after all, the two of them are father and daughter.

"You speak! Why are you staring at me? Li Meici was furious when she saw it, and yelled at Liu Chengcheng angrily.

"Ahem." Liu Chengcheng cleared his throat and said to Li Meici seriously: "Next, I want to tell you something, you must not accept something, you must be mentally prepared first." ”

Li Meici looked at Liu Chengcheng who suddenly turned positive with a confused expression, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My friend is the man who beat your father, he used to be the child sponsored by your father in the orphanage, the reason why he has so much hatred for your father is because he was molested by your father, and other children were poisoned during the same period, I think you should ...... this matter" Liu Chengcheng slowly recounted to Li Meici.

"Bang!" Before Liu Chengcheng finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Meici slapping on the table, she angrily pointed at her nose and scolded: "Liu Chengcheng, you want to be shameless, no matter how much you want to save your friend, you can't make up such disgusting rumors to slander my father, do you understand this rumor?" I can sue you. ”

After scolding, Li Meici was still angry, picked up the water cup on the table and splashed it on Liu Chengcheng's face without saying a word.

"Bang!"

After Li Meici put the water cup on the table vigorously, she turned around and left the high-end club.

Liu Chengcheng was left alone, wiping his wet hair and clothes with a tissue.
