"This mission does not belong to the team, but I will send people to support you. Xia Yue, you will take the lead in the action."

Lin Ze pushed the document forward.

Xia Yue didn't say much, she just picked up the document and opened it.

After just a few glances, he looked at Lin Ze in disbelief.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, what happened?"

Instead, Lin Ze asked Xia Yue with a smile.

"Any questions?"

"... Don't you know his past? Why would you let him perform such a mission?"

"In the Special Administration Bureau, everyone has an unspeakable past. It is precisely because of this unwillingness or regret for the past that we unite and fight for the future of mankind."

"Don't say these high-sounding words to me."

Xia Yue interrupted Lin Ze coldly.

Li Muhan was a little curious. He took the stack of documents and looked at it, and then his brain exploded with a buzz.

"...investigate an orphanage where children are missing one after another."

Li Muhan muttered the title of the document.

orphanage.

His mind quickly began to flash back, and scenes that had appeared in the orphanage came back to his mind.

Li Muhan spent his childhood in that dark orphanage where he had to work hard to get a bite of food.

"The police were not involved in this case because no one, including the children in the orphanage, had any feeling about the disappearance of their companions, as if those people never existed."

Lin Ze introduced the situation to the two of them while stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon.

"Then how did we find out? Since no one discovered it, the disappearance case should not be established."

Li Muhan raised reasonable suspicion.

Lin Ze nodded and said.

"Indeed, if the Special Administration Bureau had not intervened in this matter, it is estimated that no one would never have discovered that these children were missing, but some things are just such a coincidence. A woman who works as a caregiver in the orphanage is a registered alien under our supervision. , it was she who reported the disappearance to us and provided the original orphan list of the orphanage."

......

Half an hour later, Su Xue drove Li Muhan and Xia Yue to the Mushan Welfare Home located in the northern suburbs of Tianhai City.

"Why are you, Sister Xue, here to support our operation?"

Li Muhan was a little confused.

Because Su Xue's role in the seventh team was long-range fire support, this kind of early investigation did not seem to be suitable for her.

However, Yin Qi may be more coordinated with this action.

"Well...it's a long story. This orphanage actually has something to do with me, so I should be able to provide you with some information."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Muhan guessed that maybe Su Xue was once an orphan in this orphanage.

Alas, we share the same problem.

When Li Muhan looked at this cheerful and sunny girl, he felt a sense of intimacy.

But when they walked into the principal's office of the orphanage, this sense of closeness completely disappeared.

"Miss Su! Are you here to inspect the orphanage? Why didn't you inform me in advance? Look, I didn't even prepare."

A middle-aged woman treated Su Xue with great respect, especially the word "inspection" that made Li Muhan feel like he had misunderstood something just now.

"I funded the establishment of this orphanage. If something like that really happens, I will bear the responsibility, so the Forestry Bureau asked me to assist you in the investigation."

Damn it.

Li Muhan's sympathy and closeness to Su Xue just now disappeared.

Class enemy! Absolute class enemy!

Xia Yue completely ignored the conversation between them.

After she entered the office, her nose moved, as if she smelled something.

"what happened?"

Li Muhan noticed something was wrong with Xia Yue and asked casually.

"It has a sour taste."

The director of the welfare home scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, that's what you should be smelling."

She took out a bottle of orange jelly-like liquid from the drawer.

"This is marmalade, which is produced by our welfare home. It is the oranges picked by the children in the backyard."

"Is it because there are not enough funds?"

Amelia Su asked with some confusion.

"Of course not, Miss Su, you have been supporting the welfare home every quarter, so of course there is no problem with the funds. It's just that we want to cultivate children's hands-on skills. These marmalades are not for sale, but will be used for charity. At the event, we serve as a reward for those kind people who donated money to the welfare home.”

Li Muhan nodded approvingly.

"If they can receive gifts made by children, those kind-hearted people may be happier."

The dean was very happy to hear what Li Muhan said.

"This gentleman is absolutely right when he says that there is nothing more sincere than a gift that a child prepares with care."

Afterwards, the director took the three of them to visit the orphanage.

This welfare home has two buildings in total, one of which has three floors. The first and second floors are where children study and do crafts, and the third floor is the children's dormitories.

The other building houses the canteen and staff dormitories.

This orphanage currently has two chefs, three teachers, and twenty-five children.

And the alien registered under the supervision of the Special Administration Bureau was among these three teachers.

"These four teachers are Teacher Zhang who teaches cultural classes, Teacher Wang who teaches arts and crafts classes, and Teacher Zhou who is responsible for children's physical and mental health."

"Who is our person?"

Li Muhan quietly leaned into Su Xue's ear and asked.

"week."

Su Xue replied briefly.

It seems that Teacher Zhou is an outlier.

After visiting the orphanage, several people returned to the office.

"Sorry, Miss Su, I didn't know you were coming. The children are taking a nap now."

"It's okay. Let the children have a good rest. Don't disturb them for now. But, Dean, can I see the student roster?"

Su Xue's question made the dean a little stunned.

"Huh? Good, good."

But she turned around and took out a roster from the drawer and handed it over.

"The roster of children is here, including the two new children who arrived this August."

The three of them looked through the orphanage's children's manual together.

Most of the children here are 5-10 years old, children whose parents died in accidents.

It can be seen that the orphanage takes good care of them. The children in the photos are all smiling happily, including the new twin brothers, but it's hard to tell anything from just this.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you today, Dean, we're leaving first."

Before leaving, the dean suddenly stopped Su Xue.

"Oh, Miss Su."

"Ok?"

"You came here this time...is it because of that rumor?"

"Rumors?"

"that is......."

The dean was hesitant to speak, and after hesitating for a long time, he still said to Su Xue.

"That's the rumor of a missing child."

"Did you hear about this?"

"I'm the dean. How could I not have heard about it? I don't know who spread the news. It's nonsense. All the children here are fine. As the dean, don't I know whether my own child is missing or not? "

The dean looked aggrieved, perhaps because he had received a lot of criticism during this period.

Su Xue comforted the dean for a few words and then drove away.

But she didn't drive very far.

He just made a circle and parked the car at a corner not far from the orphanage.

"What do you two think?"

Su Xue listened to the car, turned around and looked at Li Muhan and Xia Yue sitting in the back seat and asked.

"On the surface, it appears that this orphanage is very formal and there is no abuse of the children, but I can't say for sure without seeing the children."

"..."

Xia Yue kept her head down and said nothing.

"I agree."

Su Xue was not partial to the orphanage she built.

"More investigation is needed, but subsequent investigations cannot be done openly. Let's wait until dark and meet with our informants."

Li Muhan nodded and agreed with Su Xue's words, but Xia Yue seemed to have been thinking about something. Finally, she slowly turned her head, looked at Li Muhan and said.

"I see."

"Ah? What do you know?"

"Blood."

"Huh?? We can't suck blood now. Please bear with me."

Xia Yue shook her head.

"The liquid in that bottle smells of blood."
