In the wee hours of the morning, there was a long queue outside the service station. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of the service station compound, more than a dozen long tables were lined up, and when volunteers in white coats carried baskets full of steaming meatloaf onto the long tables, the long queue of hungry people immediately became in an uproar.

The musketeers hired by the aid station shouted and pushed to maintain order, so that the hungry people did not rush forward.

Although he is a lawyer, Lechen also participated in the pie pie activity that all volunteers participated in early that morning, because today is the "Horis" festival in Diwang City and the surrounding areas, a day of family reunion, eating a local potato patty is a tradition, and the poor people are willing to buy some meat to make meatloaf every year, and in slum areas, if there is no aid station to distribute bread, I am afraid that nine out of ten days will be hungry, let alone meatloaf.

Old Jack originally thought that Le Chen would definitely not participate in the pie pie activity, but he didn't want Le Chen to come early in the morning, and he didn't fake others, he prepared from the early morning to the afternoon, and even baked a lot of meatloaf with his own hands, which made Old Jack look at him a little weird.

In fact, looking at the elation of these ragged and skinny hungry people when they received the meatloaf, and watching their lifeless numb breath reveal the joys, sorrows, and sorrows that human beings should have at this moment, Le Chen's heart was also touched, and many times in the past, Le Chen looked at the hundreds of millions of busy humans on various planets, in fact, it was not much different from watching ants.

Towards the end of the pie activity, Manning came to the aid station, and Le Chen, who was taking the remaining meatloaf on the long table back into the basket, greeted him.

"What about Shuzhi?" Le Chen frowned slightly, although he was protected by Edson and the two musketeers, but he didn't see Shuzhi turn around, Le Chen was still slightly worried.

From the bottom of his heart, dealing with so many dirty and hungry people, Le Chen didn't want Shuzhi to participate, and it happened that Manning said that there was another case that he wanted to get Le Chen's help, so Le Chen sent Shuzhi and Manning to understand the situation, and Old Jack had no objection to this.

"Miss Shuzhi is still making inquiries, I think, can you take a few cakes and send them over, Miss Shuzhi should be hungry too......" Manning said and scratched his head a little embarrassed, although he is a lawyer, but in fact he is poor, and now no one is looking for him to litigate, so he wants to buy some food for the poor client in this case and Shuzhi, because he is short of money, but he thinks of decent cakes at the service station.

Le Chen looked at his watch and said, "I'll go with you." ”

After talking to Old Jack, Le Chen took a paper bag and filled a few meatloafs, Manning hurriedly took them in his hand, but glanced at the basket containing meatloaf.

"How many people? I'll ask someone to buy some barbecue. Le Chen was a little helpless.

Manning sighed: "As for the family of seven, because they all care about this case, they have been cooperating with Miss Shuzhi to make inquiries, but no one has come to receive the bread." ”

Le Chen was stunned, looked at the hungry people who were dispersing, sighed slightly in his heart, but felt a little ashamed of his impatience just now, speaking of which, the hungry people in the slums, all year round, may be able to really eat meat today, but for the case of their relatives, this family of seven has abandoned this annual festival, and they feel that it is just a little bit of meat, but for these hungry people, it means the biggest happy moment of the year.

Nodding, Le Chen didn't say more, and grabbed more than a dozen meatloaf from the basket and stuffed them into a paper bag, Old Jack frowned from the side, and Le Chen ignored him.

Manning looked at Le Chen with some surprise, he could imagine that Le Chen must be very unusual in his own world, but now he was being looked down upon for taking a few more meatloaf for the hungry.

......

The setting sun reflected the sky, and the yellowish hue made the whole slum look even more desolate.

Le Chen followed Manning and came to the outside of a dilapidated earthen kiln, which was not small, with a two-story structure, but it was dark and damp, and it was obviously dark after entering.

Edson led the two musketeers in the middle of the earthen kiln corridor, and when he saw Le Chen coming in, Edson hurriedly nodded with a smile and greeted him, and pointed to the room next to the corridor, "Miss Shuzhi is inside." ”

In fact, Shuzhi's voice could already be heard outside the earthen kiln, and the little guy was meticulously asking about the case.

The case that Manning asked for help was the case that he had followed a month ago but had reached an impasse, because it also involved Yabai, so Manning would ask Le Chen for help.

Along the way, Le Chen also listened to Manning introduce the case in detail, the bitter master is called Gu Li, who was originally a buddy of Yabaitong Treasure Pawnshop, and was suspected of stealing an ancient calligraphy and painting from the pawn shop, although the stolen goods have not been found, but Gu Li has been convicted of the crime, and the person has been put in prison, Manning is seeking to help him appeal, but he can't find the basis for appeal.

Listening to Shuzhi's inquiry, I was learning about the economic situation of each of Gu Li's relatives and Gu Li's friends, and I didn't find any stolen goods, and if there was no evidence that Gu Li sold the stolen goods and left behind money, it would be a reasonable suspicion.

Le Chen entered the house, but saw Shuzhi sitting on a shabby pony, four or five people sat around her on the ground, these people are naturally Gu Li's relatives, looking at their expressions, they naturally regard Shuzhi as the last hope, and their eyes are full of expectation.

Seeing Manning and Le Chen coming in, they all got up and greeted warmly, Manning wanted to introduce Le Chen's identity, but was stopped by Le Chen's eyes, Manning understood, lifted the paper bag and smiled: "Come, eat something, the meatloaf delivered by the aid station, let Miss Shuzhi also take a rest!"

These male and female relatives of Guli seemed to want to say something, but when they heard Manning's last words, the oldest gray-haired old man said, "Yes, yes, Miss Shuzhi, you can rest for a while." He took the paper bag in Manning's hand and respectfully handed it to Shuzhi.

Shuzhi shook her head slightly: "Uncle, you come first." ”

Manning had already walked over and whispered in the old man's ear, saying that Miss Shuzhi was from a foreign country and should not like to eat this kind of meatloaf.

The old man suddenly understood, of course, that Manning was just polite, but in fact, in the eyes of Miss Shuzhi, these delivered meatloaf were only extremely lowly food.

In fact, there will be no class distinction in Shuzhi's eyes, but she really doesn't like to eat this kind of meatloaf, listening to Manning's words, she hesitated, then went to the paper bag and grabbed a piece of cake, and saw Le Chen beckoning to her, so she walked out of the earthen kiln with Le Chen.

"Brother, I want to ask Edson to check the painting, if it is really stolen, there should be a rumor on the black market. Shuzhi frowned, obviously she wanted to handle the case well.

Le Chen smiled slightly: "Okay! You can do whatever you want." ”

"Miss Shuzhi, please drink water!" The timid voice was a little girl who was younger than Shuzhi, holding a steaming wooden cup, and she said anxiously: "The cup is very clean, I have been brushing it for a long time......"

"Okay, thank you...... Shuzhi looked at the little girl, her expression was a little different, and she stepped up and whispered in Le Chen's ear: "Brother, did you bring cookies and candy?"

Obviously, maybe this reminded her of Chu Xing, and this little girl also made her heart, who had no friends of the same age, feel a surge of friendship in her heart.
