Chapter 384: Hidden Orphanage

The news that Wen Ning brought to me instantly made my brain nerves start to activate, and my first instinct told me that there was something wrong with this orphanage! Dr. Liu's cremation was at two o'clock in the afternoon, and before that, we had a few hours to investigate.

Wen Ning told me very honestly that it was Xu Tong who asked him to inform me. Wen Ning's attitude towards the 330 case is slowly changing, but Wen Ning can't see through Xu Tong's psychological movements. According to Wen Ning, when it was discovered that the orphanage and Du Lei had been in close contact, Wen Ning immediately reported Xu Tong.

At that time, Xu Tong was in a meeting, Wen Ning thought that the situation was urgent, and interrupted Xu Tong's meeting, Xu Tong listened to the news that Wen Ning secretly told him, and called everyone out. During that half an hour, Xu Tong had been sitting in the office, and Wen Ning didn't dare to disturb him.

Half an hour later, Xu Tong finally spoke, and the first thing he said was: Inform Professor Li.

I asked Wen Ning where he was, and he said that he was on his way to the police academy and that he was coming to pick us up, along with Dr. Liu's daughter, Liu Jia. Jiang Jun and I went out immediately, and when we arrived at the gate of the police academy, Wen Ning's car just stopped, and when we got into the car, we rushed to the orphanage without stopping.

In the half hour when Xu Tong was stunned and hesitated, Wen Ning asked people to retrieve the records of the orphanage, and he realized that this orphanage seemed to be really unusual. The orphanage was established more than 10 years ago, to be precise, the orphanage was relocated from other provinces.

As for where the relocation site was, Wen Ning did not find any records for the time being, because the review at that time was not strict, and the relevant departments were allowed to establish it if it was a brand-new orphanage, and it was allowed to be established if it met the conditions for establishment. After arriving in City B, the orphanage was established in a small alley in City B, and the location was extremely remote.

About a few years ago, the orphanage moved to a more remote location near the outskirts of City B. And the timing of the orphanage's relocation is also extremely sensitive: the third day after the 330 case.

Liu Jia sat in the passenger seat, she was wearing black, and there was no other mixed color at all. This color of sacrifice made Liu Jia's face more and more white, and Liu Jia's straight long hair shawl hung down to her waist. It was still rainy, mixed with freezing rain falling on the car window, and the sound was almost exhausting to sleep.

Jiang Jun kept staring at Liu Jia's back, he sighed slightly, and whispered in my ear that he felt that Liu Jia was too pitiful, not only because of his father's death, but also because of his age, but he had to bear the mess left by his father. Dr. Liu has several children, but in fact, Liu Jia is the most shrewd and capable.

After Dr. Liu's death, Liu Jia was the only one who could calm down and take care of various affairs in addition to grief, but Liu Jia was also the youngest of Dr. Liu's children. Judging from her appearance, she is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, similar in age to Jiang Jun, but her temperament is more mature than that of an ordinary person in her thirties and forties.

After more than an hour, Wen Ning finally stopped the car.

After getting out of the car, we each held our umbrellas, the wind was very strong, the rain was also very strong, and the black umbrellas were almost blown away.

We looked around, this place is really remote, although there are a few families around, but compared with the city, this area is much more inconvenient to buy food and other living functions. The orphanage is very large, and it seems, the conditions are not very good.

As soon as we reached the entrance of the orphanage, we heard a cry coming from inside.

At first, a child was crying, but when I looked closely, there was a child sitting on the ground in the courtyard of the orphanage, and the cry came from his mouth. Opposite the weeping child, there was another boy, who stood at a loss, and soon he also cried.

Then, many children were affected by the cry, and the crying came and went, and almost all the children in the orphanage actually cried.

The orphanage was surrounded by a high wall, and the gate was equipped with a gate similar to an iron fence, through which you could see the inside and outside of the courtyard, which was indeed safe enough, but I had the idea that the iron fence made the orphanage look less like an orphanage and more like a prison cell.

Hearing the child's cry, several women in their twenties and thirties soon ran out, looking at their appearance, panicked and angry. They shouted and told the children to shut up, but the eldest of those children looked like they were only eleven or twelve years old, and when the children's emotions came up, how could they be so easily controlled.

This annoyed the women, who picked up a few children and slapped them a few times, but not only did this not calm the children, but everyone cried even harder. One of the women, in a hurry, threw a seven or eight-year-old child to the ground from a waist-high position.

It was a concrete floor, and there were a lot of small marble-sized stones on the concrete floor, and even if the impact was not enough to cause serious injury to the child, so many small stones hurt the body. When a few women came out, we thought they would comfort the children, but we didn't expect to see such a scene.

We were all stunned for a moment before we reacted, and then, anger ignited our emotions. Jiang Jun kicked on the iron fence, the iron gate was locked, Jiang Jun didn't kick the iron gate open, but the iron bar on the fence was slightly deformed by Jiang Jun's kick.

Several women in the courtyard heard the movement and glanced at us, and at this glance, they were so frightened that they didn't even care about the children, and ran straight towards the courtyard. There were even one or two women who were holding the child in their hands, and they threw the child away.

Such a panicked performance aroused our suspicions even more.

If they run into the courtyard, then they are most likely trying to escape through the back door. Jiang Jun immediately chased towards the back door, and Wen Ning and Liu Jia also followed. I stayed at the front door, I looked at the height of the wall, it was not so easy to climb up, I looked around, and soon I found a large rock.

Carrying the big rock to the wall, I quickly sprinted and kicked up the wall with the help of the stone. After landing steadily, I felt a tingling sensation in my shoulder. Gritting my teeth, I was about to go inside when several children grabbed my hand. The children's eyes are the least deceiving, and I can tell from their teary eyes that they are eager to get out of here.

The feeling of sadness immediately came over me, and I patted them on the head and asked them to wait for me here. These kids actually believed me, and an older kid pulled everyone aside, and they were really ready to wait for me here. I clenched my fists, I was just a stranger to them, but they would rather trust a stranger, which was enough to guess how they were ordained in this orphanage.

They are dirty and smell bad. I picked up the child who had been thrown to the ground by the woman, and upon closer inspection, I confirmed that he only had some scrapes on his body. After settling the children, I ran into the courtyard, the orphanage is not very large, and there are only seven or eight rooms in the courtyard. I pushed them open one by one, and none of the women were inside.

Some of these rooms are occupied by people, and some are kitchens. The room for people to live in was supposed to be occupied by the administrator of the orphanage, as there was only one bed in it. Each manager has a gas tank and a pot in his room, and it seems that the manager lives here and cooks and eats at the same time.

It's crowded, but it's clean, and of course, compared to what I saw in the kitchen.

When I pushed open the kitchen, a musty sour smell hit me, and the leaves were scattered all over the floor, and they had been trampled on, but no one cleaned them. There were all kinds of ingredients on the stove, both vegetables and meat, but the meat was already rotten.

It was boiled in the pot, and when I looked closely, it was carrion infested with maggots. There was also a white and fat maggot floating on the soup, some of which had been boiled.

The managers themselves have pots and stoves, so these things must be for those children.

Before the fire was turned off, the pot was already boiling, and those people were so in a hurry that they forgot to turn off the fire.
