Original sin

Luo Sen did not go back to Lincheng with Shen Chen, but got out of the car halfway. He was going to investigate Hou Xiaoqiang's experience in the orphanage.

This time he did not alarm the Qiaocheng Bureau. After all, the relationship between Hou Xiaoqiang and the Qiaocheng Bureau is there. If Hou Xiaoqiang knew that the police were investigating his past, he might respond accordingly. It's going to be discounted.

Shen Chen didn't even tell Ouyang Nana about this matter, it's not that Shen Chen doesn't believe Ouyang Nana, on the contrary, he trusts his old classmate Shen Shen very much, but Shen Chen feels that the fewer people who know, the better, and this is also true Rosen's kind of protection.

Luo Sen came to "Xiaozao Private Kitchen". At noon today, he asked Dean Du to meet here.

When old Dean Du came, Luo Sen had been waiting here for about 10 minutes.

"Comrade Luo, I'm really sorry. I ran into an old acquaintance on the road and chatted for a while." With an apologetic smile on Old Dean Du's face, Luo Sen hurriedly said, "President Du, you're being polite. Anyway, it's just dinner. , and it’s nothing to worry about.”

Naturally, Luo Sen wouldn't blame Dean Du, it's already very good that he can come.

"What do you want to drink?" Rosen asked, and Dean Du said, "Can you have beer?"

Rosen smiled: "You can drink whatever you want, but there is one thing, that is, I can't accompany you. As you know, our discipline is very strict now, and drinking is prohibited on weekdays."

Old Dean Du really didn't know, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly: "Forget it, I won't drink anymore."

"It's okay, let's do it, I'll order you a bottle of Xiao Crooked Lang first, or we'll order it if you don't stop your addiction."

Old Dean Du really likes this. To be honest, he has never married for the sake of the orphanage all his life. He has no home or children of his own. For him, the orphanage is his home. Those orphans That is, his child.It can be said that this orphanage has devoted all his efforts.

In the first few years, he even put in his monthly salary.

He doesn't have any hobbies or interests. When he is free, he likes to drink a few sips of wine, and then play a Beijing opera along with the radio. This wine has become his best friend.

After two glasses of wine, Old Dean Du looked at Luo Sen who was on the side: "Comrade Luo, you are looking for me more than simply wanting to invite me to dinner, right?" He is a sensible person, and he is a retired orphanage Dean, how could a policeman from Lincheng invite him to dinner casually? The key is that he has no friendship with him at all.

It was the same day when I met Captain Shen of Lincheng, I had a relationship with this Rosen, and the two of them hardly had a word.

Rosen hesitated for a moment and said, "Please come here because I really want to ask you something."

Old Dean Du narrowed his eyes, but his heart was not so peaceful.

Shen Shen asked him about Hou Xiaoqiang that day, and he wondered if Hou Xiaoqiang had committed something.

For him, Hou Xiaoqiang is like his own child. He can be said to have watched the child grow up, and he also watched the child grow up. Strong personality, it is definitely not accidental to have today's achievements.

Hou Xiaoqiang is not only the pride of the orphanage, but also his pride.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want anything to happen to Hou Xiaoqiang.

"About Xiaoqiang?" Dean Du asked softly.

Luo Sen could only nod his head, and Old Dean Du sighed softly: "You have repeatedly asked me about him, Comrade Luo, tell me honestly, is something wrong with him?"

Luo Sen was a little embarrassed. At this moment, he knew that he could not reveal anything to Dean Du at will.

"Old Du, there are some things that cannot be said right now, please forgive me."

Old Dean Du frowned: "Comrade Luo, you have nothing to say to others. I am also a member of the organization. If it really involves confidentiality regulations, I will rot it in my stomach."

Rosen smiled wryly: "I didn't mean that, Mr. Du, you should know that the police have their own rules when handling a case. During the process of handling a case, the situation of the case cannot be disclosed to outsiders."

"I know, since that's the case, I won't ask, but I know Xiaoqiang, he has no evil intentions, and he is also a very upright person." Old Dean Du helped Hou Xiaoqiang to say good things.

Rosen nodded: "We know this too, but there are some things we still want to know about with you."

Old Dean Du drank another glass of wine: "That's fine, you can ask."

Old Dean Du felt a little uncomfortable, so he didn't eat much of the food, and just kept drinking, and soon he finished a bottle of two taels of Xiao Crooked Lang, and Luo Sen ordered him another bottle .

"Did Hou Xiaoqiang have close friends when he was in the orphanage?" Rosen asked.

Old Dean Du shook his head without thinking, "No, his personality is very withdrawn, and he doesn't want to communicate with others at all on weekdays, let alone those children in the orphanage, it's us teachers, except for me. Besides, he won't talk too much with other teachers."

Old Dean Du sighed when he said this: "This kid has a serious mind, and he likes to hide everything in his heart by himself. Most of the time, even he is unwilling to tell me. As long as I find something wrong, I will ask the bottom line. I just thought, talk to him more, maybe this way he can open up his heart, his heart is bitter, what happened at home, his brother separated from him again, this world is really unfair to him, All the unfortunate things seem to have happened to him. You don't know, he looked pitiful at that time, he committed crimes, why did he have such a parent! "

After hearing what Old Dean Du said, Luo Sen felt a little disappointed. According to his and Shen Shen's guesses, Hou Xiaoqiang would have at least one very good friend in the orphanage, and that person was very likely to be regarded as a Same as his brother.

"Mr. Du, think about it again. Is there anyone who is close to his brother's age, and his attitude towards this person is different from other people, or he is very protective of this person, just like his brother?" Like that."

Luo Sen's words made Old Dean Du startled, he put down his wine glass and fell into deep thought.

It took about half a minute before he looked up at Rosen: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that there is such a person, but this child didn't stay in the orphanage for long, less than two years ago. He was taken away later by his uncle and aunt. I remember he was about eight years old when he came to the orphanage, and he was less than 11 years old when he left. In the orphanage In those two years, the relationship between Xiaoqiang and him was not bad, at least the two of them could talk, and I could see that Xiaoqiang was very protective of him, and Xiaoqiang was already fourteen at that time."

Rosen said, "That means Hou Xiaoqiang is six years older than this person?"

"Well, it shouldn't be wrong. What's the name of that child? By the way, it's called Mu Feng. That's right. This surname is rare here. Mu Feng's character is very similar to Xiaoqiang's. Not much, and I like to bury everything in my heart.”

"Do you understand the situation of Mufeng?" Rosen asked.

"I know all the children in the orphanage. This is my compulsory course. For every one of them, I will put them here." He pointed to his heart.

Luo Sen respected Dean Du very much. He knew that the old man in front of him was a person who had dedicated his life to his career. He also felt lucky for those orphans. There was such a serious and responsible dean who was the father of these children. blessing.

"Not to mention, Mu Feng was also due to a big change in his family, and it was very similar to the change that Xiaoqiang experienced. His mother killed his father, and then his mother jumped off the building, and he was sent to the orphanage. .”

"Since he has uncles and aunts, why was he sent to the orphanage?"

"At that time, his uncle and aunt were still working outside, and they said they would not come back. In fact, I know that the reason why they were willing to pick up Mu Feng was because their own child died in a traffic accident, and they could not be born again. I'm a one-and-a-half daughter, so I want to take Mufeng back. They are all from the countryside, and they still have old ideas, hoping to have someone who will take care of them and see them die."

"I see, then they will definitely treat Mu Feng well." Rosen said.

Old Dean Du shook his head: "If you think so, you are wrong. Later, I also inquired about Mu Feng's situation, and I realized that it was not easy for him to go to his uncle and aunt's house. You must know that for them, Mu Feng It was never their own, and they would definitely compare Mu Feng with their own children. In their hearts, they still felt that their own children were the best. His uncle got infected after his son died. The bad habit of drinking, once drunk, Mu Feng's nose is not the nose or the eyes, and he is punched and kicked at every turn."

Rosen felt a little annoyed after hearing this: "In any case, those are his brother's sons. They are related by blood. How could he do this?"

"Well, this is human nature. No matter how good Mu Feng is, he is someone else's child. His aunt is better to Mu Feng, but you don't know, parents like them who have lost their children will always have such a hurdle in their hearts. , it's not so easy to get by, although his aunt is good to him, but she can't really regard him as her own, especially when she thinks of her children, she can't be really calm."

Rosen nodded lightly: "That's true, it seems that Mu Feng's life is really difficult."

"By the way, I remember that Mu Feng sneaked back once after being picked up by them. Later, his aunt came to pick him up in person, and promised to treat him well in the future. I also persuaded him. In my opinion Come on, having a home is better than staying in an orphanage, although our teachers in the orphanage are very good to the children, but family affection is family affection after all, and there is nothing that can replace that kind of affection, right?"

"And then, what happened to Mu Feng?"

"I'm not sure about that. I heard that the family moved away after Mu Feng went back with him. I don't know where they went. I just heard that Mu Feng's family may have gone to the south."

Rosen made up a message and sent it out.

He wanted someone to help him find out about Mu Feng.

Soon the text message was returned.

The information said that Mu Feng's uncle and aunt both died in a traffic accident when Mu Feng was 12 years old.

Then Mu Feng disappeared.

Luo Sen felt a little sad when he heard that, fate would really play a joke with Mu Feng, and he once again endured the pain of his relatives leaving.

"Please check Mu Feng's whereabouts." Rosen made up another message and sent it out.

After Luo Sen sent the message, he said to Dean Du again: "Old Du, do you know where Mu Feng is now?"

"I really don't know about this. Some people say that he went to work in eastern Zhejiang Province, but that was several years ago."

Luo Sen's goal has been achieved. He has learned from Dean Du that there is indeed such a person as they guessed. This has already made great progress.

"Come here, Mr. Du, don't just drink, eat some food." Then Luo Sen just chatted with old Dean Du about the orphanage, and old Dean Du also relaxed, and had another drink together. Lang just ended the meal.

Luo Sen didn't expect that the old man could drink so much, but he seemed to be fine after drinking six taels of wine, his face was not red, and he looked so energetic.

"Mr. Du, thank you!" Rosen said to Mr. Du after paying the bill.

Old Dean Du sighed again: "Don't thank me. As a citizen, I still have the awareness to cooperate with the police investigation, but I really don't want Xiaoqiang to have any problems. He has poured himself into him. The expectations of many of our orphanage teachers."

Rosen nodded: "Don't worry, if he didn't do anything illegal, then he won't have any problems."

Rosen's words showed the attitude of the police.

Old Dean Du stopped talking and prepared to leave with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Du, get in the car. I'll see you off." Luo Sen still politely asked Dean Du to get in the car, but Dean Du waved his hand: "No need, just take care of yourself if you have anything to do." Go ahead, leave me alone, I want to digest my food after dinner, so I won't take your car."

Rosen didn't insist anymore, and started the car to go in the opposite direction.

"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang, what have you done? Why do the police care about you so much?" Old Dean Du took out his mobile phone from his body while talking to himself, hesitated, and then called Hou Xiaoqiang past.

Hou Xiaoqiang did not expect to receive a call from the old dean.

"Papa Du."

That's what Hou Xiaoqiang called him when he was in the orphanage, and he was very happy to hear "Papa Du".

"Xiaoqiang, tell Papa Du honestly, did you do something shameful? How did Papa Du teach you before? To be a human being, you must sit upright, have a clear conscience, and don't do anything illegal. "Old Dean Du said earnestly.

Hou Xiaoqiang was taken aback. Old Dean Du seemed to have never spoken to himself in such a tone. It seemed that Old Dean Du was angry.

"Father Du, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I can assure you that I haven't done anything bad. Dad Du, has someone chewed their tongue in front of you?"

Old Dean Du sighed: "Okay, I don't care about this matter, you can take care of it yourself."
