Chapter 275 The fire nineteen years ago

For Su Rui, who had been away for nineteen years, the excitement in his heart after hearing the news about Ye Binglan was beyond words.

Su Rui had known for a long time that shortly after he left the children's welfare home, the entire welfare home was burned to rubble by a fire, and many teachers and children were even unable to survive. It was an extremely sad disaster.

There were so many casualties, but it did not cause any sensation. The accident was suppressed by the Ninghai Municipal Government at that time, and not many people knew about it.

"I had already asked for leave this afternoon and was going to visit the old dean. As a result, you happened to be back, so let's go together." Ye Binglan said happily.

"Okay, but I have to have dinner first." Su Rui looked at the tired look between Ye Binglan's eyebrows and felt a little distressed. This girl is good at everything, but she is really hard at work.

"Yeah, listen to you." Ye Binglan looked at Su Rui's eyebrows with a smile, and his eyes never moved away.

For Su Rui, he has been looking for news about the welfare home for so many years, and he is not in a hurry at this moment. Although he is also very excited, Ye Binglan's body is more important in comparison.

"When I come out of the dean's house, I'll take you to massage and relieve fatigue." Su Rui said: "If you stay up late like this, you can't make up for it by sleeping alone."

"No problem, listen to you." Ye Binglan smiled and said, "But I won't let the man come and give me a massage."

"Am I considered a man? No masseur has better techniques than mine." Su Rui said.

"Come and give me a massage?" Ye Binglan smiled like a flower: "Of course!"

…………

The old dean lives in an old-fashioned building on the outskirts of the city. In Ninghai, where the ever-changing house is now an antique and is facing demolition at any time.

"It seems that the old dean is not doing well," Su Rui sighed.

Ye Binglan nodded silently. She had inquired for a long time before she got the news from a friend of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

In the memory of the two who were not very young, the old dean could be considered a relatively important person. He was in his fifties and was kind and friendly. After all, he should be in his seventies now.

With a complicated mood, the two of them carried fruits along the dim and wet corridor, and stood in front of an old-fashioned anti-theft door.

Su Rui put his hands on the door, looking a little hesitant.

I feel even more timid when I am close to home, so I dare not ask the person I come.

"Knock it." Ye Binglan said, she took a deep breath and looked a little nervous. At this moment, the "brother and sister" were in the same mood.

Su Rui knocked it lightly a few times, and an old voice came from the room.

"Who?"

Before Su Rui and Ye Binglan could answer, the door had already opened, and the one who appeared in front of them was an old man in a simple cloth clothes.

Even though his hair was completely white, his body was a little hunched, and his face was covered with wrinkles, Su Rui and Ye Binglan recognized it at a glance. It has been nineteen years since his memory, and some memories are always so profound that they cannot be erased.

"Old Dean!" Su Rui and Ye Binglan shouted in unison.

Hearing this greeting, the old man's body trembled, and there was something unbelievable in his turbid old eyes.

This title has almost never sounded in the past decade, so strange that even he would have forgotten it!

"What are you?"

The old dean looked at the man and woman standing at the door, he was a little hesitant. He was trying hard to search for the memories in his mind, but he couldn't remember them no matter what.

In nearly twenty years, the children have changed so many that he can no longer recognize them.

"Old Dean, I don't know if you still remember it. I am Xiaobing, this is my brother, Su Rui." Looking at the old man in my memory, Ye Binglan's eyes showed warmth.

"Old Dean, I am Shi Tou, I don't know if you still remember it." Su Rui still clearly remembered his nickname when he was a child. As for the word "Su Rui", only a genius knows who gave it.

"Xiaobing, Shitou? It's you?" The old dean thought for a long time in his mind, and his eyes regained excitement.

"Come in, come in." The old dean hurriedly let the two into the room, and the excited expression on his face could not be concealed.

"My mind is getting worse and worse as I get older, I think about it for a long time before I remember it." The old dean hurriedly wanted to pour them tea, but he couldn't even find a suitable cup.

In the end, the old dean only took two bowls and filled them with water. This scene made Su Rui feel sad.

"Old Dean, are your children not around?" asked the careful Ye Binglan.

It seems that the old dean lives in this room alone. The lunch on the table has not been cleaned up, and there is only a pair of chopsticks.

"The children are busy with work, and I live far away. I usually come back to see me once a month." The old dean said with a smile: "My wife had gastric cancer a few years ago and left me alone. I guess I can hold on for a few more years."

Su Rui looked at the decorations in the room and thought that the old dean's children were really unfilial and did not want to buy some good things for his father.

"Okay, it's so great, Xiaobing, Shitou, I didn't expect you to grow up so big." The old dean's eyes kept sweeping around Su Rui and Ye Binglan's faces, and said with relief: "The big guy and the big girl are so beautiful."

"I remember you two liked to stick together when you were young, and they were childhood sweethearts. Unexpectedly, they became couples when they grew up. What a good marriage, a pair made of heaven and earth!" The old dean said with emotion.

The couple? It’s made of heaven and earth?

Obviously, the old dean misunderstood something.

After hearing this, Ye Binglan's handsome face showed a slight redness, and she felt a little sweet in her heart. She secretly glanced at Su Rui and found that the latter was about to explain.

"Old Dean, Xiaobing and I are actually..."

Before Su Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Binglan: "Old Dean, I don't know how your health is for so many years?"

Su Rui looked at Ye Binglan in surprise, and it seemed that interrupting others was not her style.

"My body is pretty tough. I'm idle on weekdays and walk more often. I don't have colds or fevers." The old dean looked at Ye Binglan and Su Rui. The more I looked at him, the happier I became: "I haven't seen you for so many years, how did you find me here?"

Ye Binglan hesitated for a moment and said, "I happened to have a friend in the Civil Affairs Bureau, so I asked him to inquire and found out that you are living here, the old dean."

She did not say that she had been looking for many years and had many friends, but she happened to find out about the old dean recently.

Because Ye Binglan didn't even know the old director's name, and the Ninghai Municipal Government once covered up the fire, many valuable information was wiped out.

"Oh, those poor kids, I don't know what's going on now." The old dean sighed slightly as if he was thinking about something.

After the teenagers entered society, the children in the welfare home became teenagers without any care and no one asked. Many of them ended up going to prison. It was rare to grow into Ye Binglan and Su Rui.

Those children are all the concerns of the old dean.

Su Rui looked moved and asked, "Old Dean, do you still remember the fire after I left?"

When the old dean heard the word "fire", he seemed to think of something very painful, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Su Rui did not experience the fire personally, so he naturally didn't know what kind of panic it caused at that time.

"The time of that fire should have happened shortly after you left." Unexpectedly, the old dean even remembered such an accurate time point.

Su Rui nodded, and the answer he got from all parties was the same.

"A few days after you were taken away by a kind-hearted person, a big fire broke out in the welfare home. It was night, and many children and teachers were sleeping soundly, and all the school buildings were burned." When the old dean said this, the pain on his face became clearer. Although it took so many years, when he recalled it again, those scenes were still vivid in his mind.

"Is it arson for man?" Su Rui's tone was already very low.

"The Public Security Bureau filed a case, but it was not settled later, because there were too many children burned to death and burned at that time. I was willing to be stingy with a major disaster. If it spread, it would have a fatal impact on the future of the leader at that time."

Although the old dean did not say it clearly, he could understand the meaning of his words, and he must also think that this was arson for man!

How could so many school buildings be burned at night? There is no fire source near the school buildings! Even if the liquefied gas explosion in the canteen cannot cause such a result!

Things that normal people can see at a glance have missed the best time to solve the case due to the government leaders' self-protection, which has now become a unsolved case!

The cold light in Su Rui's eyes gradually began to condense.

Ye Binglan herself is a criminal policeman, and she immediately began to analyze and find out the possibility of this case.

"After so many years, it's really hard to check." Ye Binglan thought for a while and sighed softly.

"Later, after the fire, the Fourth Welfare Home was disbanded. The teachers and students who survived by chance were placed in other welfare homes. I retired early and until now."

Su Rui didn't know the cause of the fire before. Now that he knows it, if he doesn't find out, it will be too inconsistent with his personality.

"Old Dean, do you still remember who the mayor of Ninghai was at that time?" Su Rui did not know in detail about this. He was the mayor of Ninghai nineteen years ago. Now that so long has passed, I am afraid that his status is already terrible!

"Of course I remember." The old dean blurted out without even having to recall the memories: "Bai Keqing, he was very young at that time, just became the mayor of Ninghai, and had a bright future."

"Uncle Bai's third family?" Su Rui raised his eyebrows, like two swords about to be unsheathed! Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
