Chapter Forty-Two
Tu San went back to the law firm and dug out the files of Ran Ran and the dean.
Ran Ran has reported to the police many times, but it is useless to say that the dean is very cautious and hides the fox's tail very tightly.
Now that Ran Ran is back in his hands, Wang Xiao has also been dealt with. This is the time when he is most proud and his guard is weakest.
The key is where to find the evidence.
The dean will not allow him to get in touch with the real side of the orphanage. To him, the identity of lawyer Tu Jun is not only an object of respect, but also an extremely dangerous existence.
The identity risk of self-exploding and spreading is too great. If there is someone who can gain the trust of the dean, is smart and will not betray him, the matter will be much simpler.
When he was in distress, Bai Mo walked out of the room with a bag on his back, apparently about to go out.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"Go and tutor the little girl upstairs in math."
Tu San's eyes suddenly lit up, and he just stared at him like this, making Bai Mo's back feel hairy.
"What, what's the matter? Xiao San."
"Brother, can you do me a favor?" Tu San asked.
Bai Mo: "Just say what you need."
"Just go to the orphanage..." Tu San recalled that Bai Mo had spoken to the dean before, and thought about how to open his mouth to let him accept the fact that the dean has problems in the most tactful manner.
Don't wait for him to figure it out.
"You want me to investigate the dean, right?"
Bai Mo caught him off guard and said this to him.
Tu San was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, brother, why are you..."
Bai Mo smiled helplessly, put down his backpack, lowered his head to change into his slippers, and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
He didn't avoid the probing and suspicious eyes, walked straight to him and sat down, still looking at him softly, "If you want to ask anything, just ask."
Since he said so, it means that he does know something, and Tu San is not polite to him.
"Did Ran Ran get a kidney stolen by the dean?"
Bai Mo: "Yes."
Tu San's fist tightened suddenly, as expected.
Ran Ran is by no means the first victim. The dean has killed countless children over the years.
Seeing Bai Mo's calm expression, he couldn't sit still any longer, stood up abruptly, and asked angrily, "Brother, since you know everything, why didn't you say it!"
"For you." Bai Mo looked at him calmly, his eyes filled with the calm and cold Gutan, Tu San felt that he had seen these eyes somewhere before.
"for me?"
Bai Mo lifted the corner of his clothes, and there was the same scar on the same position as Ran Ran's abdomen.
He looked at Tu San's shocked eyes, put down the corner of his clothes, slowly looked at Tu San's abdomen, and said, "This scar should have appeared on your body."
Tu San was cold all over, but his mind was exceptionally sober. He suddenly understood some doubts, such as the fire that almost killed the dean, such as the companion who was pushed downstairs by Bai Mo, but he still needs to confirm it again.
"Brother, tell me." He reluctantly sat back, not calm like a normal person.
Bai Mo: "Where do you think I should start?"
"The fire."
"Well, you guessed right, it wasn't an accident, I let it go, and I already knew what the dean was doing at that time, but unfortunately I was just a child, no one believed what I said, and I couldn't find any evidence.I wanted to force the dean to show his flaws, but he wanted money rather than his life, and he was trapped in the fire and couldn't get out. I didn't expect you to rush in to save people, and I didn't expect you to have a quarrel with me because of this."
Tu San lowered his head and looked at his own hands. It was these hands that dragged Mei Youde back from the brink of death, and brought a greedy and hypocritical demon back to the world.
"Where's the companion you pushed downstairs?"
"He, he and the dean are on the same team. Doesn't he often help make biscuits in the kitchen? There are medicines in the biscuits, which will cause the organs to fail slightly. The dean can take the children with symptoms to the hospital.The certificate from the hospital, even if the children find that their organs are missing, with the certificate from the hospital, they will not doubt the director, they will only think that they were removed due to a serious illness."
Bai Mo paused at this point, "Ran Ran was an accident."
Tu San smiled wryly, "I don't know if she is lucky or not, but she knows the truth."
"It's not luck." Bai Mo said, "She actually knew it all along."
"What?!"
Ran Ran's pale and helpless expression came to Tu San's mind again, and she could not be connected with the accomplice no matter what.
Bai Mo smiled, "Don't doubt it, I won't lie to you."
"If she didn't know too much, the dean wouldn't take a lot of trouble to catch her back."
"Because of her weakness, she chose to hide it for the dean so far, and has suffered a lot."
"Brother, what about you?" Tu San raised his head at some point, staring at him with burning eyes, "Why are you hiding it?"
Bai Mo didn't care about Tu San and put his doubts on the surface, and said in a hurry: "Because of you, the dean originally wanted to attack you. After you ran away, he took his anger on me, and later used you to attack me."I helped him conceal the security threat."
Tu San opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Bai Mo treated him like the older brother who was responsible for warming his heart.I was angry with my brother.
To be honest, Bai Mo is much more pitiful than him, at least he still has a family member like Mr. Tu alive, but Bai Mo's family is really ruined, wandering around the world without a home.
"I'm sorry, brother, I was a little anxious just now, and my tone of speaking was not very good." Tu San knew that he had said something wrong, so he hurried to make up for it.
Bai Mo smiled, and patted the top of his head. From the beginning to the end, he didn't mean to be angry at all, and his emotions were well controlled.
The more he didn't care, the more guilty Tu San felt.
"It's okay, I know you are annoyed by what the dean has done, and it was indeed my mistake to help the dean hide it."
"So what's next? What are you going to do?"
Tu San originally wanted to ask Bai Mo to help find evidence, but in the current situation, how could he be ashamed to let Bai Mo go? After thinking about it, he said: "Can you take me into the orphanage, help me get rid of the dean, and just buy some time.".”
"Okay." Bai Mo agreed without any hesitation.
————
The next day, Bai Mo found a reason to ask Mei Youde out, and Tu San took the opportunity to enter the orphanage. The children all knew him, and the journey was smooth.
When he came to the dean's office, Mei Youde used to put all the important things where he could see them at a glance, so that he could feel at ease.
After groping for a long time, Tu San found a locked cabinet under the desk.
Pry it open with brute force, the birthday book is on the top, the corner of the page is more curled and old than the last time I saw it, Mei Youde has obviously flipped through it many times.
There must be important things recorded in it, but when Tu San opened it, he found that the content on it was almost exactly the same as last time, all of which were incomprehensible numbers and names circled in red.
The only difference is that Tingting's name is now also circled in red, followed by a series of numbers "03023050366".
Tingting has been adopted. It would be understandable if the adopted child's name would be circled in red, but what does the number mean?
Perhaps the truth he wanted to know was hidden in the serial number.
Tu San flipped through the birthday book page by page, and the only sound in the whole office was the sound of the pages turning. The benefits of a strong memory came out at this time. Tu San memorized the corresponding number of each child in his head, andSequences of numbers are the same as looking for patterns, looking for connections among them.
He found that every boy starts with "1" and every girl starts with "0".
He tried hard to recall the numbers related to Tingting.
The day she was adopted seems to be May 3rd.
The short-circuited line was reconnected at this moment, and dazzling sparks came out of the collision.
Tu San suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
If the first number represents the gender, the last four represent the year, and the last four represent the date, it is exactly the right time for adoption.
The date and gender are available, so what do the last two digits mean?
Tu San went through all the numbers in his mind again, and suddenly, a chill rushed from his spine to his forehead.
"Sixty-sixth." He murmured in a daze.
That's it, that's it.
From the first child with a number drawn in a red circle to Tingting, there are exactly 66 children.
Most likely, Tingting was not adopted by her parents, but was sold and became one of the 66 items.
He should have thought earlier that it would be difficult for a sick and weak child like Tingting to be favored by her adoptive parents. They must have some kind of intention in wanting her.
If he found out earlier, would he be able to save the child?
The candy Tingting gave him was still in his coat and he hadn't eaten it. He originally thought about giving her a can of chocolates in return. Most girls like to eat chocolates.
But it's too late, it's too late to think about it now.
The voice of children singing poems faintly came from outside the window. It was still the song "Praise the Angels". The innocent children didn't know that the angels they sang could not bring them a peaceful life and clean food.The people put drugs on them, and one dirty deal after another was carried out in the peaceful orphanage, maybe the next one to be sold was themselves.
Tu San puts money above morality, and sometimes his heart is always torn between black and white, he lets them go and never restrains them, because he has such a character, quick-witted and changeable, he does whatever he wants, he is a person first, and thenA lawyer who supports justice, but not harming innocent people has always been his bottom line.
Therefore, as the defendant's lawyer, he will give the plaintiff enough compensation for the rest of his life; so he will bluntly say that he is not good when the media asks him what he thinks of his client's character; so when he knowsAfter Wu Yu deserved to die, he simply acted as a pusher and sent him on his way...
He swayed left and right on the borderline of black and white, coping with ease.
Maybe it was his talent that brought him arrogance. He thought everything was under control, but fate quietly deviated from the track.
You shouldn't be soft-hearted because of your feelings.
If it were Mr. Tu, with his upright personality, he would have started looking for the truth and collecting evidence when he first became suspicious, and would rather kill by mistake than let him go.
Tu San knows that what he can do now is to find all the evidence to expose Mei You Dewei's rotten flesh and blood under his skin.
Put the birthday book back in its original place, and bring the cabinet back to its original appearance. Now these evidences are not enough, and a stronger and more powerful hammer is needed.
Tu San straightened up, met a cold gaze, and immediately froze his body.
Mei Youde stood at the door with a gloomy face and his eyelids pulled down. The normally kind and amiable Grandpa Dean immediately changed into a different person. The eyes that glanced up and down on Tu San were full of calculation and greed, with his hands behind his back and his back very straight.Straight, the momentum suddenly increased several times, and it should be that all the camouflage has been removed at this moment.
He's going to have a showdown.
Tu San clenched his hands tightly.
How long had he stood there watching, didn't Bai Mo lure him out?Why did he come back so quickly? Could something have happened to Bai Mo?
After a while of silence, the dean spoke first, "Xiao San, it's you."
"Well, it's me."
"Tsk." Mei Youde frowned.
It seems that Mei Youde has recognized him, and now there is no need to pretend.
Mei Youde looked at the child he used to like most, with a secretive expression on his face. Sometimes he felt lost as if he was recalling the past when he picked peaches behind his back, and sometimes there was a flash of cruelty, full of calculations.
He knew that this kid was very smart, so he approached him slowly and asked directly, "How much do you know?"
Tu San looked at him coldly, stepped back step by step, and there was no more emotion in his eyes, "You number the children and sell them like pigs in the slaughterhouse, I know all about it."
Mei Youde was stunned, "I know everything."
Things got a little tricky.
Taking advantage of Mei Youde's distraction, Tu San quickly figured out how to get out of here. Based on his understanding of this place, escaping is not a problem, and he is afraid that Mei Youde will threaten the child.
Mei Youde saw that Tu San didn't trust him at all now, so he took a step back.
This move confused Tu San.
Mei Youde sighed, and the tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
"Xiao San, good boy, I know you won't believe what I say next, but please listen to me."
"You have been lied to the child."
"Ran Ran and Bai Mo are on the same team, they have been using you!"
