The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

"Okay." Lu Nier had no objection.

"Then..." Li Jie hesitated, "Why don't you go to my house for dinner together?"

"Family……"

Alonia was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized that it was the reformatory.

"I'm fine, Xiaolu, what about you?"

"I think it's okay." Lu Nier didn't care.

"Then trouble you."

"No trouble……"

The team entered the reformatory school. Because of Li Jie's relationship, Alonia and Lu Nier were welcomed, especially Lu Nier, because of his performance of beating the little gangster, he was seen by the children and became a The object of some children's admiration.

"You two are welcome to come as guests." Shanila was very polite, but she could see that she was a little worried, "I will leave the missing children to you two."

"This is our duty." Alonya replied, "And I also have some questions to ask."

"I'll answer anything I know if I can help you."

"Has there been any trouble in the reformatory recently?" Alonia asked.

"Troublesome things..." Shanila thought for a while, "Except for this child's matter, our reformatory has been very peaceful recently, and we haven't encountered any troublesome things."

"I heard that the reformatory was recently harassed by some gangsters?"

This is what Lunier told Alonia.

"Those bastards..." Shanila sighed, "It's not a troublesome thing, they're just some children who have gone astray."

"Ms. Shanila, do you think it's possible that those gangsters kidnapped the children and wanted to blackmail you through them?"

In fact, this is the direction that Alonia is going to investigate next. Those gangsters are too suspicious, they have that motive, and they also have that ability.

"them……"

Shanila didn't seem to hesitate much, and rejected Alonia's guess.

"It shouldn't be possible. I know them well. If they want to blackmail me, they can use other, simpler and more direct methods. It won't be so troublesome."

"Ms. Shanila, you seem to know those gangsters well?"

"Of course."

Shanila showed a bitter expression.

"Because among those little bastards, there are children who have walked out of the reformatory..."

The children in the reformatory still have to go out after all, and have to live alone earlier than the children of other normal families.

However, when one has to live alone without the reformatory as a dependency, one will encounter many setbacks and tribulations, as well as inevitable changes and growth.

Some of these children will inevitably learn to be bad, which is actually quite normal.

After all, that's how life is.

And lose gratitude for the upbringing in the reformatory, and turn this kind of kindness into resentment for being abandoned, that is, a few people among the gangsters who came to find trouble.

"Those children were not like this before..."

Shanila looked very sad.

In this regard, Lu Nier and Alonia were not good at expressing their opinions, so they listened in silence.

The dinner in the reformatory was simple and simple. After they had finished their dinner, they rested in the reformatory at the request of Dean Shanila.

Lu Nier originally thought that Alonia would refuse, but he didn't expect Alonia to agree to the invitation, and really rested in the reformatory.

"follow me……"

Alonya whispered to Lunier.

Although Lu Nier didn't understand, he still followed Alonia.

When Shanila and Li Jie were busy, Alonia took Lu Nier around the reformatory.

The reformatory covers a large area, and it is fully utilized. Basically, every piece has its use. There are even some vegetable gardens, and there are a few pieces of plants that Lu Neil has never seen before. Some chickens and ducks.

In addition, Lu Nier also saw yellow vines drying on several racks.

After walking around the reformatory, the two came to several children in the reformatory.

Among the few children, there is also Abby who Lu Neil has met and is familiar with.

"They must have a lot of relief money in the reformatory." Alonia suddenly said to Lu Nier with emotion, "It must cost a lot to raise so many children."

"Huh? ... Yes, there must be a lot of expenses for so many children." Although Lu Nier was puzzled, he still replied.

"That's not true!" Abby, who was listening to the two talking, retorted, "The relief fund in our reformatory is not much at all, and it was all stolen by the vampires up there. You can’t feed your children.”

"Eh?" Alonia was a little surprised, "Is that so? Where do the usual expenses for raising the children come from?"

"Of course we earned it ourselves!" Abby said proudly, "We usually divide the labor to deliver newspapers, make small jewelry, make clothes and so on, and we spend a lot of money on us. I earned it myself!"

"clothing?"

Alonia moved her gaze down and took a few glances at Abby's clothes.

"Is this the clothes made of sand thread vine?" Alonia said suddenly, "I remember that this kind of vine grows very fast, and some people in desert areas will use this kind of vine thread to make clothes, although the material is usually very tough, It's hard to tear apart, but..."

"But it will rot after being soaked in water, right?" Abby finished what Alonia had left to say.

"That's right, this kind of clothes made of sand-thread vines has been published in newspapers. I remember it was popular in the imperial capital for a while." Alonia recalled, "By the way, I remember that this kind of sand-thread vines were soaked in water. After the mud, you can still eat it."

"Yes!" Abby nodded, "It's delicious, a piece of clothing that can be worn and eaten, how wonderful, but the price can only be bought at a very low price..."

Speaking of the latter, Abby looked a little unconvinced.

Lu Nier was not surprised. After all, although it doesn't rain often in the imperial capital, it will be soaked when exposed to water, which means that it cannot be washed. You can't keep a piece of clothing unwashed, right?

This is equivalent to defective products with fatal flaws in clothes, and it is normal that the price is not high.

"Can you tell me what you have done?" Alonia seemed very interested in this.

"Of course!"

Then Abby told the two about something about the reformatory.

From Abby’s words, we can know that most of the children in the reformatory are not only responsible for housework, but also work to earn some money, which will be handed over to Shanila, and then Shanila will unify the life of the reformatory. Funding is shared.

And this fund is transparent, the whereabouts of each sum is open, and there is a special account book, that is, there is no corruption in Shanila.

Because if Shanila really wants to embezzle, there is absolutely no need to get this account book. Even if she blatantly squeezes these children to make money and work for her, these children will not resist.

"Can I have a look at that account book?" Alonya asked curiously.

"No problem." Abby patted Pingping's chest, "I'm the one who manages the books, come with me."

Abby wasn't very wary of the two of them, probably because of Lu Nier's identity as an investigator and her relationship with Li Jie as a colleague, she gained her trust.

The two soon saw the correctional school's books.

It does record the capital records of the reformatory, a sum of income and expenditure, income from selling handicrafts, clothes, delivering newspapers, expenditures on buying ingredients, new clothes, and purchasing books, are all recorded in detail. Above, including donations from some well-wishers.

Also, as Abby said, the proportion of relief funds only accounts for a small part of the total income of this account book.

Alonia looked at it carefully, and Lu Nier also looked at it twice.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with the first pass, but Lu Nier seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he read it again.

"You kids are amazing!"

Alonia praised.

"hey-hey……"

Abby rubbed her ear sheepishly.

After reading the account books, Alonia found an excuse and came to a corner alone with Lu Nier.

"Well, do you see anything?" Alonia asked.

"A little bit, but I don't dare to confirm it." Lu Nier thought for a while, "I think there is a problem with the income of this account book. Normally, the money earned by those children is not enough to support their expenses."

"That's right." Alonia nodded approvingly, "Most of the income in this account book is fine, the children's money from selling handmade products and delivering newspapers is normal, because normal, So the money is too little, and it doesn't add up to much, and it can't meet the expenses of this reformatory, except for the relief funds and the children's earnings, the most important of which is the donations from those kind people..."

"I still believe that there are kind-hearted people, but these kind-hearted people are too many, and the money they give seems to be just right."

"That is to say..." Lu Neil said, "Captain, do you think there is something wrong with those so-called donations?"

"To be honest, I don't want to think so, but now it seems that it is true." Alonya nodded, "Our Dean Shanila probably has some secrets, and... there is one thing I dare not To be sure, I find her unusual in her own right."

"Unusual? What does this mean?" Lu Nier didn't understand.

"It's hard to describe, it's my intuition, although Dean Shanila behaves like a middle-aged aunt in all aspects..." Alonia said, "There is one more thing that I am very concerned about, the dog-human race today When I helped us track down the whereabouts of the children, I came to the reformatory twice. Although those children lived in the reformatory, it is normal to trace their smell to the reformatory, but now that I think about it, it seems that there are some Strange, after all, we started tracking from the place where the kidnappers got off the car, those children would not have been around there before, right? But the dog-man girl still tracked the taste from there, or tracked it to the reformatory..."

Lu Nier quickly reacted.

"Could it be that those kidnappers are actually in..."

"Yes."

"But Dean Shanila shouldn't..."

Before Lu Nier finished speaking, Li Jie's calling came from a distance.

"Captain, Lunil..."

"Let's talk about this first."

Alonya stood up and answered Li Jie's call.

"We are here."

The two joined Li Jie as if nothing had happened, and the three continued to search.

The way to search was to ask passers-by at the location of the abandoned carriage if they had seen any suspicious characters. They asked almost the entire street, but they found nothing.

Li Jie's expression became more and more disturbed and anxious.

Both Alonia and Lunier concealed from her that there might be something unusual about Dean Shanila and the funds of the reformatory. After all, it is really not easy to tell her about such things.

"Come here first today." Alonia said, "There is no one on the street now."

"Captain, go back and rest first..." Li Jie seemed unwilling to give up, "I'll look for it later."

"Oh...it's so late, you're looking around like this..." Alonia persuaded.

"Sister Li Jie!"

A shout came from a distance, interrupting Alonya's persuasion.

There was palpable joy in the shouts.

"It's back! They're back!"

It was Abby who called.

"A few of them are back!"

After Abby finished speaking out of breath, Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression was no longer tense.

The children who were kidnapped and disappeared have returned intact.

When they were found, they were lying unconscious at the gate of the reformatory.

When the three of them rushed to the correctional school, they saw a group of children asking about the missing children. However, the children looked blank, as if they didn't understand what happened.

Although the child came back, Dean Shanila's expression was not so sad, but Lu Nier was keenly aware that she didn't seem very happy.

"Dean Shanila, can I ask the children some questions?" Alonia asked politely.

"This..." Shanila looked a little embarrassed.

"Dean, this is to find out the prisoners who kidnapped the children." Li Jie persuaded, "And we also need to know the reason why those prisoners want to arrest the children."

"Okay, but please don't provoke them..."
