To tell you the truth, as soon as this number came out, I was already tempted - who told me that I am poor now?

Now my physical condition is a real big stomach. When I go to eat noodles on the street, I directly ask for three bowls at one time, and it is a super bowl of three or two, which has caused the crowd to watch melons more than once, but there is no way to be watched, and my stomach has to be filled with tears.

I still have two compressed biscuits in my pocket (chocolate melts away from body temperature, so I don't fit in my trouser pocket), and I feel like there's a black hole in my stomach, and I can't do without high-calorie food wherever I go.

"I promise that I won't get in the way of Mr. Yoshimitsu's investigation! And...... I'm a sixth-dan black belt in karate, so if I meet a bad guy, I can protect ...... That, assist, yes, assist you in subduing the bad guys! Kirishima shook his fist in anticipation, "How about it?" ”

Looking at the way she swings her fists, although she looks good, but in terms of her lovely face and petite figure, it is really unconvincing.

I hesitated and glanced at Shen Tang, who just smiled, but I always felt that there was something else in her smile, and I was thinking of finding a reason to "this is the rule, I'm really sorry" to euphemistically refuse Kirishima Fumi, even if the commission fee will be less in the end, there is no way.

But Shen Tangzhi opened his mouth and said: "Ji Guang, Xiao Xun is a psychology expert, and this commission is related to several patients with serious mental illness, she will be very helpful to your investigation operation, and I repeat it again seriously, don't be deceived by her seemingly weak appearance, her karate rank is not fake." ”

"Oh, Sister Tang...... Actually say that! ”

"I'm not exaggerating at all......"

"Na Na Na, although I said so, it's not my fault that I look like this!"

……

So, in such an atmosphere, we signed a commission agreement, and wrote both of Kirishima's requirements into it, and the final remuneration was 120,000.

After doing this, I looked at my watch, it was half past four in the afternoon, if I went to the orphanage to investigate, the time should be enough, and when I was about to make this suggestion, Shen Tangzhi took the lead and said:

"I already knew that you would definitely not be able to bear it, the orphanage has already contacted you in advance, and you can leave now. I'm going to attend a foreign-related medical conference later in the evening, and it happens to be related to the newspaper exhibition of artefacts in collaboration with two of the UK's most famous museums, because there are several British surgeons in the group. I'm really convinced by these leaders in the city, these British surgeons originally came to China to travel, but now it's a good thing that it's actually a medical exchange meeting......"

Shen Tangzhi said goodbye to us downstairs at the Kirishima Psychological Counseling Center.

Kirishima didn't set off in a hurry, but first took me to a cake shop to buy more than 20 pounds of cakes, and then I realized that we were going to an orphanage, and we should bring some gifts for the children.

I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that I hadn't thought of this at all—even though I could use the excuse that I had never been to an orphanage or something, so I rushed to pay, but Kirishima stopped me with a cross arm.

"Now, Mr. Yoshimitsu, these are the small gifts I promised to bring to you last time, but I can't break my promise!"

"As long as you say it's your heart, it doesn't matter who pays, right?"

"This is absolutely not good, how can you break the bank!"

"I'll do it anyway."

"No, no, no, Miss clerk, please swipe my card! Please! Kirishima stood in front of me, one hand against my arm, and the other hand handed the female clerk a black credit card.

Isn't this the black gold card of Huaxia Tianlong Bank? I heard that it is a "special card for local tyrants" that can only be applied for by wealthy people worth more than 100 million......

This president Kirishima who wears a light blue dress and can easily be mistaken for a minor from his appearance is really rich.

By the way: this woman's strength is really great, with my current physical fitness, she actually used only one hand, so that I have already used fifty percent of my strength to move forward at all, I can't be shameless enough to rush with all my strength, right?

Seeing that we were fighting to pay the bill exaggeratedly, the female clerk covered her mouth and chuckled, and apologized, "The two are a couple, right?" I'm sorry because it's so cute, I can't help but ......."

I hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood, in fact, we have just met ......"

"Hehe, Mr. is really humorous, no wonder my girlfriend is so young and beautiful...... "Who knew that the clerk didn't believe my words at all, and thought I was joking," then, a total of 3311 yuan. ”

"Huh?"

3311 yuan? Is it so expensive?

I didn't pay attention to the price at all, but now that I think about it, it seems that this pastry shop called "White Angel" is indeed a very high-end pastry shop.

I was a little embarrassed, not because I was reluctant to spend it, but because I had less than a thousand in my wallet, and a little more than two in my card—I didn't have enough money to pay for the cakes!

"If you apply for a VIP membership card of our store, you only need to pre-deposit 2,000 yuan to enjoy a 9% discount, and this time you can use the membership card to consume, the price after the discount is 2,980...... Have you two thought about it? The female clerk looked at us expectantly.

"Hey, you pay the bill every time, and I can help pay this kind of small bill once in a while, right?" Kirishima winked at me, "Well, don't fight with me anymore, or I'll be angry!" ”

At the stall where I was slightly stunned, Kirishima had already handed the black gold card to the female clerk: "Then, Miss clerk, please help me get a card, my place of work is nearby, and I may come to visit it often." ”

The female clerk was very efficient, and immediately got the membership card, combined it with the black and gold card, and handed it to Kirishima with both hands: "Please put it away!" ”

Another clerk handed me the packed box of pastries, and I was dragged out of the bakery by Kirishima Kamikomi, and the goodbye voice of the clerk came from behind: "Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to the next time!" ”

As soon as he walked out of the store, Kirishima stuck out his tongue, breathed a long sigh of relief, and patted his chest: "It's so dangerous, it's finally fooled!" They really thought we were a couple...... It's the first time we've met, and we say—"

She suddenly changed her words: "Ahhhh I'm sorry! ”

Speaking of which, Kirishima habitually bowed to me again.

I hastened to hold out a hand—I wanted to stop her—but it would seem that it would not be appropriate to place the hand on any part of a girl......

Finally, I put my hand on Kirishima's head.

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. If I hadn't been reckless just now, you wouldn't have had to break the siege for me. I said.

"No, no, no, I'm going to apologize to Mr. Yoshimitsu."

I felt a tremendous force in the palm of my hand.

"You really don't need to apologize - what are you obsessed with apologizing?"

I also secretly exerted my strength to resist Kaoru Kirishima's head as he tried to bow down with brute force.

……

The power of Kirishima is unexpectedly large, and I used seventy percent of my strength to offset this huge force.

So, we were frozen in a strange position.

……

“…… Kirishima-san, isn't it time for us to leave for the orphanage? It shouldn't be too early. ”

"Hmm......"

"Then I'll let it go?"

“……”

I withdrew my palm, Kirishima Kaoru raised his head, looked at me with a very strange gaze, and suddenly said, "Mr. Yoshimitsu, it turns out that you are also a martial arts master?" ”

"This ......" I really don't know how to answer, but I believe in Shen Tangzhi's judgment, I must not divulge my physical condition, but I don't want to lie, "It's just that I was born with more strength, but I haven't been systematically trained." I explain it this way.

"Oh, that's right." Kirishima Kaoru showed a skeptical expression, and said with a little loss, "I thought it was a pity to have a discussion with Mr. Yoshimitsu in martial arts......

Kamimi's red Maybach led the way, and I followed in my own N-hand Beijing Jeep, and at a quarter past five, we arrived at the orphanage called the "Red Star Farm Social Welfare Institute" on the edge of Jinji Lake in the south of the city.

I've never been to an orphanage before, the so-called "social welfare home", and I've always felt a bit tragic about the term, because the children in the shelter are orphans or abandoned babies who have no one to support them.

However, the reality was worse than I expected.

The whole orphanage was a small hospital-like place, and we were greeted by a female teacher in her thirties surnamed Luo, who led us through the front yard.

I estimate that the entire front yard is about 1,000 square meters, with a garden-like square, a large slide set on the well-maintained lawn, and more than a dozen children ranging in age from three or four to ten years old playing.

Kirishima asked me to divide half of the pastries and give them to the caregiver in the front yard to distribute, and she greeted the children one by one with a smile, touching their heads and asking them if they were well-behaved.

The interior of the building is similar to that of a secondary school building, and it still looks clean and simple.

We met volunteers in the hallway with a few children upstairs, and it looked no different from a normal kindergarten.

The passage connecting the front and back yards was cut off by a large iron fence and guarded, and after entering the backyard of the welfare home, the atmosphere changed abruptly.

The first thing that caught my eye was a dozen or so children playing on the grass in the backyard, they looked very lively, but I soon noticed that they only made mmmmmmm

As he gave the pastries to the children, Kirishima whispered to me that the children were deaf and mute.

There are also six or seven children sitting in special wheelchairs on the side of the yard, most of them are about seven or eight years old, but they look very thin, and their mental state is obviously not very good, Kirishima smoked, these children have polio, they are very hard, some often have cramps, seizures, and must do rehabilitation every day, otherwise their limbs will become more and more atrophied.

I was silent, looking at these children, and I felt very uncomfortable.

After going upstairs, this feeling gradually turned into uneasiness...... I found the whole building to be eerily quiet, but every now and then there would be one or two horrible screams that sent chills down my back.

As I passed through a few classrooms, I saw something that shocked me:

There were some children with cerebral palsy in the classroom, rolling their eyes and drooling on the bed;

There are children with mental retardation, who make strange cries from time to time;

Babies of both sexes, lying there with their eyes open and silent;

What made me despair the most was the only child with normal intelligence but disabled legs, who looked so happy to see us, desperately trying to stand up on the windowsill......

Teacher Luo, who accompanied him, said softly: "These children in the backyard have some major physical or psychological defects, we can only isolate them, these children are too pitiful, but the welfare home is understaffed, the aunts are really too tired, if you don't do this, the whole welfare home can't be maintained......"

She refused our request to visit the disabled children, and promised only that our pastries would be delivered to each child.

As I walked through the classrooms, I noticed that Kirishima's eyes were slightly red and his sockets were full of mist.

The target we visited lived on the fifth floor of the top floor of the building, where there was another security door at the entrance of the staircase, locked by a chain full of rust.

When I opened the security door, I rushed over a few mentally handicapped children with violent tendencies, kicking, scratching and scratching around me and Kirishima.

But after letting us in, Teacher Luo didn't mean to follow in, she looked at my last words, and wondered: "Miss Kirishima, you know, I can only send you here......"

Kirishima nodded and bowed slightly to her, "I understand." Excuse me, Mr. Luo. ”

"Mr. Yoshimitsu, over here." Kamiru Kirishima led me deeper into the hallway.

I had no idea that this orphanage would give me the feeling of being in prison—

I saw children in restrictive clothes and locked in private rooms;

There are also children whose feet are chained and cannot get too far out of the bed.

Although, these children do have crazy or nervous expressions on their faces.

Kirishima explained that the children were traumatized mentally and psychologically, leading to extreme violence or antisocial personalities, but the outside psychiatric hospital was unwilling to accept the orphans, so the orphanage had to lock up the poor children.

She said that she came here not only for her own psychological research, but also to try to help these poor children.

"You're here?"

As we spoke, two and a half children suddenly walked out of the classroom in front of us, and the boy who spoke looked no different from adults.

He had a delicate face, half of his face was covered by his hair, his skin was strangely white, and his right arm was wrapped in a thick bandage, all of which had turned yellow.

I suddenly remembered those files, and the young man in front of me should be Xu Liang, who has been bitten by insects on his right arm and suffers from dense phobia.

"Are you Xu Liang?" I tried to ask.

"Who is he?" Xu Liang ignored me and asked Kirishima directly.

I noticed Xu Liang's tone, very polite, but, according to the records in the archives, Xu Liang has had so many tragic experiences, he may have a natural dislike and distrust of adults, and Kirishima, who has only been in contact with him a few times, obviously has not completely won Xu Liang's trust.

Kirishima introduced me, "His name is Yoshimitsu, and he is a well-known detective in the city, and he is also the helper I found to help us solve the dream that plagued everyone. ”

"Detective? What is that? ”

Suddenly, a little girl's voice sounded, and at the same time, a small head poked out from behind Xu Liang.

Only then did I realize that the child hiding behind Xu Liang was wearing a transparent poncho and holding a yellow umbrella in his hand.

It was Shen Xiaoke, who suffered from a fear of rain.

"Brother Xu Liang, did they bring dolls?"

At the same time, another girl's voice came out of the classroom.

"That's Du Min." Kirishima whispered to me, "She suffers from a phobia of dolls. ”

"Xiaomin, it's me. Of course we didn't bring the dolls, I brought the cream cake you wanted to eat last time. Kirishima said to the classroom.

Xu Liang said in a commanding stiff tone: "Open the box and show me." ”

I finally couldn't help it, and took a step forward and said, "Children, we kindly brought gifts to visit you, at least it should be a little polite, right?" ”

"Did anyone ask you to come and see you?" Xu Liang actually raised his head, looked directly at me, and said-for-tat, "Either open the box and show me, or just get out - we don't need your pity." ”
