After Xu Lang was silent for a while, he asked Cao Zhiyi for a cigarette, lit it, and asked: "Captain Cao, you are the captain of the Chengxi Criminal Investigation Detachment, over the years, there must have been many murders in the Chengxi District, and among these criminals, are there any people from the Chengxi Orphanage?" ”

Hearing Xu Lang ask this, Cao Zhiyi frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "This is the second strange thing I want to tell you. ”

"What?" Xu Lang looked at Cao Zhiyi and asked.

"It's not that I have any prejudice against the children of criminals, in my experience of being a criminal police officer for so many years, many children of criminals, after they lose their parents, especially after knowing the crimes committed by their parents, some children will be excluded, abused, and even beaten by their parents because of their parents, after they experience all this, their psychology will change, and then they will take the path of their parents, and then transform into a criminal, but I have been in the west of the city for so long, Countless suspects have been arrested, but none of the suspects have come out of this orphanage, and I have not heard of any criminals in S City who came out of the orphanage in the west of the city. Cao Zhiyi said with a frown.

"Not a single one?" Xu Lang asked in surprise.

"Not a single one." Cao Zhiyi said affirmatively.

Xu Lang was silent again, Cao Zhiyi's words, Xu Lang understood, he knew that Cao Zhiyi was right, no matter who had a bad record, or the children of those criminals, whenever a murder occurred, unless there was a clear object of suspicion, many times, when the police solved the case, the first thing they thought of was those who had bad records, as well as the children of those criminals, after all, unlike ordinary people, these people had a very strong motive for committing crimes, Xu Lang used to handle the case. is often so suspicious, so Xu Lang understands Cao Zhiyi.

However, what surprised Xu Lang was that the children in the orphanage in the west of the city were all children of criminals who were sentenced to death or life imprisonment, and before they became orphans, they more or less knew about some of their parents, and it was impossible to say that they were not influenced by their parents at all, but after these children left the orphanage, none of them embarked on the road of crime, which is very surprising, not that Xu Lang looked down on these children, but felt strange, Could it really be that the education method of the orphanage is so powerful that these children, who were once extremely close to sin, can really not sin? Xu Lang was skeptical.

But suspicion is just suspicion, if the children in the orphanage really did not commit crimes, it is actually a good thing for the police, their parents, or society.

After Xu Lang silently smoked a cigarette, he asked again: "Shangguan Huasheng, how much do you know?" ”

Cao Zhiyi shook his head and said: "I haven't met Shangguan Watson, and I don't know much about him, it's more about the records in the archives, I only know that Shangguan Watson was a famous figure in the last century, and black and white are very related, I don't know why, he suddenly washed his hands of gold, and he stopped doing his previous business, which may be related to the policies of the time, or because of other reasons, in short, Shangguan Watson stayed in this orphanage in the last century, and later, I heard that he died, and some people said that he was missing, but what the truth was, and there was no more record in the police file. ”

After Cao Zhiyi said this, he turned his head to look at Xu Lang and asked, "What are you asking for?" Could it be that there is something to do with this fire? ”

Xu Lang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You should know something about the Niu Honghe case that happened some time ago and the Yao Wenlin case that happened last night. ”

Cao Zhiyi nodded and said, "I know something, but does this have anything to do with this orphanage?" ”

Cao Zhiyi looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression.

"In Niu Honghe's case, two deceased, a man and a woman, including Niu Hong and himself, were both people who came out of the orphanage in the west of the city that year, and, through investigation, we also found a hidden case five years ago, the deceased was a woman, named Yu Huixin, she also grew up in this orphanage." Xu Lang said slowly.

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Cao Zhiyi seemed to think of something, looked at Xu Lang with a shocked face, and asked, "Could it be that Yao Wenlin, who died at home last night, is also the same?" ”

Xu Lang nodded and did not deny it.

Seeing Xu Lang's attitude, Cao Zhiyi immediately understood why Xu Lang asked him about the orphanage, and also understood why Yao Wenlin's second criminal investigation team took over, and even more understood why Xu Lang always appeared in Chengxi District and why he cared so much about this orphanage.

After the two of them were silent for a while, Cao Zhiyi looked at the scene of the orphanage, then looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Do you suspect that this fire is also related to the children in the orphanage?" ”

Xu Lang didn't speak, he neither nodded in acknowledgement nor shook his head in denial, obviously, he wasn't sure.

Next, after the two of them talked about the fire again, Xu Lang left.

The truth of the fire needs time to investigate, and now it has only been a few short hours since the fire happened, it is unrealistic to want to figure out these problems at once, Xu Lang can't help much if he stays here, besides, the fire is the Chengxi Criminal Investigation Detachment, not the second criminal investigation team, although Xu Lang is the criminal investigation consultant of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but in some matters, Xu Lang still has no right to interfere.

Before leaving, Xu Lang told Cao Zhiyi that once the case of the fire occurred progressed, he would notify him as soon as possible, and Cao Zhiyi naturally agreed.

Xu Lang, who left the scene of the fire, contacted Zhang Lei and learned that they were in an additional hotel, so Xu Lang rushed over, he wanted to see which children, no matter what the parents of these children had done before, after all, it was just a mistake made by their parents, it had nothing to do with them, and the children were innocent.

After this group of children lost their parents and family, the orphanage in the west of the city is a second home for them, and now the house is on fire and there is an accident, for these half-grown children, it is undoubtedly a catastrophe, the fire brigade is responsible for fighting the fire, and the police are responsible for finding the truth, and the only thing these children can rely on is except for Shangguan Jing and Aunt Wang, none of them can rely on.

After Xu Lang came to the hotel, he inquired with the front desk, and then learned that Zhang Lei arranged the group of children in four rooms on the fifth floor, one of which was the presidential suite.

When Xu Lang took the elevator to the fifth floor and knocked on the largest room, it was Zhang Lei who opened the door, and after Xu Lang walked in, he found that all the children were here, and they sat around and listened to Shangguan Jing telling them stories.

Xu Lang didn't walk over immediately, but turned around and closed the door, looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "It costs a lot of money to live here, right?" ”

Zhang Lei glanced back at the group of children who were looking at Shangguan Jing expectantly, and said, "I told my family what happened in the orphanage, and my family arranged all this. ”

Xu Lang nodded and didn't ask anything more.

"Is there a result of the investigation?" Zhang Lei asked in a low voice.

"The preliminary investigation found that it was arson." Xu Lang said in a deep voice.

After Zhang Lei heard this result, his already unattractive face suddenly became more and more difficult to look at, he clenched his fists and said, "Who did it?" ”

"It's still under investigation." Xu Lang said.

"Hmph, if I let me know who did it, I won't let him go." Zhang Lei said viciously.

Xu Lang saw it for the first time, and he was not surprised that Zhang Lei, who was walking in the right line, showed such a hideous expression, but Xu Lang didn't know how to comfort Zhang Lei, so he just stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Lei's shoulder, then turned his head, looked at the children and asked, "Are the children okay?" ”

Zhang Lei also turned his head to look at Shangguan Jing and the group of children, his eyes were gentle, he shook his head, and said: "It's okay, Shangguan Jing is very good at coaxing children, the children have been much better after being flustered and frightened at the beginning, and now they are listening to her tell stories." ”

Xu Lang nodded, didn't say anything, to be honest, Xu Lang didn't have a child's fate, and he didn't know how to deal with children, maybe, this was related to Xu Lang's experience, in the matter of coaxing children, he really didn't have Zhang Lei and Shangguan Jing had a way.

After the two of them were silent for a while, Xu Lang looked at Zhang Lei and asked suspiciously, "You appeared here, does Ning Yanran know?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Team Ning knows, and Team Ning asked me to come over, she gave me a few days off and asked me to help deal with things here." ”

Xu Lang nodded again and didn't ask anything more.

Xu Lang came to the room and looked at the group of children, his eyes became gentle, and the stiff expression on his face became softer and softer.

After Shangguan Jing saw Xu Lang, she didn't get up immediately, but after telling the story to the children, she said to the children: "It's time to go to bed, it's time to go to bed." ”

The children stood up suddenly, left the room one after another, hand in hand, and went to their respective rooms under the leadership of Aunt Wang, Shangguan Jing and Zhang Lei.

After all the children were arranged, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, almost ten o'clock in the evening, Shangguan Jing and Zhang Lei returned to this room, and Aunt Wang was taking care of the group of children.

After Shangguan Jing came back, she looked at Xu Lang and asked, "How did it turn out?" ”

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "It's not clear for the time being, everything is still under investigation." ”

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Shangguan Jing didn't think much about it, and didn't ask anything more.

After the three of them were silent for a while, Shangguan Jing suddenly remembered something, looked at Xu Lang anxiously and said, "Siya." ”

Xu Lang was stunned by Shangguan Jing's words, and asked suspiciously: "Siya?" ”

"Siya is still at your house, we've been out for so long, she probably hasn't had dinner yet." Shangguan Jing explained.

"Smack."

Xu Lang patted his head, and after Shangguan Jing's reminder, Xu Lang remembered that Liu Siya was still in his home, because of the fire in the orphanage, he had forgotten about this stubble, thinking of this, Xu Lang hurriedly said: "I'll drive back and bring Siya over." ”

Shangguan Jing shook her head and said, "I'll go with you, although Siya is very sensible, she is very vigilant and may not be willing to go with you." ”

Xu Lang thought about it, so he nodded and agreed.

Zhang Lei looked at Xu Lang, then at Shangguan Jing, and then asked, "What can I do?" ”

Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "You stay with the children, after all, Aunt Wang is old, I am worried that she can't take care of her alone, and the children have only experienced everything during the day, and now they live in the hotel, they may not sleep well at night, and"

"What else?" Zhang Lei asked.

Xu Lang looked at Zhang Lei's eyes and said, "Zhang Lei, although I don't know how rich your family is, but how to arrange this group of children, I'm afraid I still need your help, after all"

Without waiting for Xu Lang to finish speaking, Zhang Lei immediately said: "Brother Lang, I don't need you to say that I know what to do, just leave these children to me, and I will take care of it." ”

Xu Lang didn't say anything, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Lei's shoulder, and walked out.

Shangguan Jing looked at Zhang Lei and said gratefully: "Thank you, you have done so much for me, you are a good person." ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "I didn't do this for you to add up to me, nor did I do it for the sake of pursuing you, I just did it for this group of children, don't think about it." ”

Shangguan Jing nodded and said, "I know, so, you are a good person." ”

Zhang Lei looked at Shangguan Jing silently.

The two of them were silent for a while, and without speaking, Shangguan Jing left the room and followed Xu Lang downstairs.

After Xu Lang and Shangguan Jing left, Zhang Lei stood in the room, looking at the empty room, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Good person? Are you sending me a good guy card? ”

————

When Xu Lang drove Shangguan Jing home, the two of them were silent along the way.

Xu Lang drove the car seriously and didn't dare to be distracted, while Shangguan Jing sat in the passenger seat, looking sideways out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the car arrived at the community, Shangguan Jing considered that Liu Siya might not have eaten yet, so she went out to buy food, while Xu Lang went home first.

After returning home, Xu Lang took out the key to open the door, and found that the room was dark, and the lights were not turned on, Xu Lang stood at the door, frowning, he did not change his shoes, but turned on the lights in the room first, and then went straight to the living room, and found that the TV was still on, but the sound was relatively small, and Liu Siya curled up in a ball, nested in the sofa, obviously asleep.

Xu Lang walked over and looked at Liu Siya, and found that when Liu Siya was sleeping, the expression on her face was very painful, her brows were tightly locked, her body trembled from time to time, and on her green and immature cheeks, there were dried up tears, obviously, the little girl had cried.

Xu Lang, who saw this scene, was a little distressed, he had been plagued by nightmares for so many years, and often woke up from nightmares in the middle of the night, he could understand Liu Siya's mood.

"Wake up, Siya, wake up."

Xu Lang stretched out his hand and gently pushed Liu Siya.

As if sensing that a stranger was approaching her, as if she heard someone calling for her, Liu Siya opened her eyes.

When she saw that it was Xu Lang's face that appeared in front of her, the little girl sat up on the sofa, and then quickly stepped back, clasped her hands on her knees, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Xu Lang with a wary face, her eyes were full of vigilance and distrust.

This is a manifestation of extreme insecurity, Xu Lang's eyes became more and more gentle, and the expression on his face gradually eased, he didn't know what this half-old child had experienced, but he could feel the vigilance and uneasiness in the little girl's heart, he didn't walk over, but asked, "Why are you asleep here?" Have you eaten? ”

Liu Siya looked at Xu Lang, her eyes were still very vigilant, she bit her lip tightly, looked at Xu Lang, and finally asked in a trembling voice: "What about Sister Jingjing?" Why isn't she here, doesn't she want me anymore? ”

Speaking of this, the little girl's clean and clear eyes were full of tears, and bean-sized tears came out of her eyes and slipped down her cheeks, and Xu Lang was very worried when she saw it.

Xu Lang said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Sister Jingjing went out to buy you something to eat, and she will be back in a while." ”

"You lied to people, Sister Jingjing definitely didn't want me, you lied to people, you lied to people"

The little girl said in the end, her eyes were like a flood that had opened the floodgates, and she was screaming hoarsely, while grabbing the pillow on the sofa and throwing it at Xu Lang, Xu Lang stretched out his hand to take the pillow, and just wanted to explain something to the little girl, but the knock on the door sounded at this moment.

"Knock knock."

The little girl, who was still crying, suddenly stopped crying, and looked at the door with a trembling body, her eyes full of fear.

Xu Lang looked at Liu Siya in some surprise, not knowing what was wrong with her, but the knock on the door was still ringing, Xu Lang went straight to the door, opened the door, and found Shangguan Jing carrying a lot of things in his hand and standing at the door.

Xu Lang hurriedly took the things in her hand and said, "Come in." ”

Xu Lang took the food in his hand to the living room and put it on the coffee table, then turned his head and said to Shangguan Jing, who was changing her shoes: "Siya cried just now, you comfort and comfort her, I'll take a bath." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang went straight to the bathroom.

When Liu Siya saw Shangguan Jing, her tearful eyes suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, she immediately jumped off the sofa, ran to Shangguan Jing barefoot, and fell into Shangguan Jing's arms at once, crying bitterly, and said while crying: "Sister Jingjing, I thought you didn't want me anymore, woo woo woo"

Shangguan Jing lowered her head, looked at the girl with gentle eyes, stretched out her hand, rubbed the little girl's head gently, and said softly: "How could Sister Jingjing not want you, good, don't cry, good"
