did not meet tonight

When Xiao Yu got up the next day, he didn't see Ye Jian. There was a prepared breakfast on the dining table, and a note was pressed underneath, saying that the flowers had been watered.On the left side of the living room is a large balcony, with lush green plants surrounding the log tea table in the middle, and each pot is well-kept, with water droplets rolling on the leaves.

Xiao Yu actually doesn't like to grow flowers and plants. Most of these green plants are sent by friends. In the past, the hourly union would come to water every three days. Although it won't dry out, the leaves are always dusty. Angry, but now all that comes into my eyes are green colors, and even the flower pots have been polished to a shine.

The morning sun shone brightly on the balcony, and Xiao Yu seemed to see Ye Jian busy in the emerald green with a watering can. The water mist was sprayed on the branches and leaves, and the sunlight reflected colorful colors. It was as clean as the white shirt on Ye Jian’s body. .

Due to his family relationship, Xiao Yu has been living alone for so many years. He has long been used to this kind of life. He rarely attends parties, and he is unwilling to go out to socialize. Most of his time is spent on work, and he occasionally has leisure time. He would also choose to stay at home.He seems to be a very difficult person to get in touch with. His personality determines his behavior. He has never tried to approach anyone deliberately. In fact, everyone who wants to approach him will eventually be scared away by his indifference.He always draws the boundaries very clearly. Work is work, colleagues are colleagues, and friends are friends. He puts them in the most appropriate position and knows what to do.

If there is an exception, then this person is Ye Jian.

Xiao Yu admitted that he didn't have much affection when he first met him, and even thought he was ridiculously stingy. It wasn't until he got to know him slowly that he realized that he was actually a very principled person. Whether it was stingy or making money, his premise was that he would not hurt others. to others.This is actually very contradictory, but it is so perfectly blended together in him, it seems that he should be that kind of person, a person who looks very unreliable but is full of sunshine.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile, it might be better if he could be more honest.

After breakfast, he went to the police station first. After simple preparations, he, Gao Zhishang and policewoman Yu Tong went to the "Happy Home" welfare home.This orphanage is located in the eastern suburbs of the city. It is a welfare institution that specially adopts abandoned babies and disabled children. The legal representative on the registration certificate is called Meng Xianzhen, which means that it is a private operation. Since it is not profitable, its Daily expenses basically rely on government subsidies and donations from all walks of life.

The entire Happiness House is surrounded by a high wall, the gate is guarded by a security guard, and there is a parking lot in the courtyard. Every weekend or holiday, there will always be many volunteers pouring into the Happiness House and non-profit organizations, and it is precisely because of these people that Happy Home can operate normally.

The eastern suburbs of the city have not yet been developed, and are basically wasteland. The buildings with white walls are particularly conspicuous. There are four buildings in the Happy House, and each building is equipped with a yard and activity room. It is often seen that older children lead the younger Children play while there are always staff watching over them.Most of these workers are women in their forties, and there are also a small number of volunteers. Although the conditions are relatively simple, they are very clean, and it can be seen that they have put their heart into it.

Under the leadership of a staff member, Xiao Yu went straight to the dean's office. The dean was Meng Xianzhen, an elegant woman in her 50s. She was wearing a light gray suit, her hair was neatly coiled behind her head, her eyebrows and eyes were Gentle, always with a smile on his face, he looks like a very good-tempered person.Xiao Yu had been here before, and she still remembered them, so she warmly invited them to sit down and asked the staff to make tea.

"Dean Meng, excuse me, we are here for the photos." Xiao Yu said to her, "I wonder if you have prepared the materials you mentioned last time?"

"It was more than four years ago. I don't have any impression, and I'm not sure whether that person is a volunteer or a non-profit organization. In the past few days, I have asked people to check the past information in detail. It is indeed not what you said. Name." Meng Xianzhen said apologetically, "We are an orphanage with a lot of staff turnover, and there are still many deficiencies in management. There are inevitably negligence. Captain Xiao, I am really sorry."

Xiao Yu could understand her difficulty, but the photo was the only clue so far, so she couldn't just give up so easily.He thought for a while and said, "I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to give me the information of the registered personnel that day?"

"This." Meng Xianzhen seemed a little embarrassed, "These materials are very valuable to our orphanage."

"I understand. I just want to confirm. After the investigation is clear, I will return the information intact." Xiao Yu said.Meng Xianzhen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay then, the file room is at the back, and I'll take you there."

Part of this building is the staff's office and dormitory, and the other part is the classroom for the children to learn. Although this is an orphanage, Meng Xianzhen still hopes that these poor children can master life skills, whether it is reading, Whether it is hobbies or hobbies, she does her best to give them the best.Yu Tong is a girl. Along the way, she saw those healthy or disabled children bursting into hearty laughter, and her eyes couldn't help getting moist. The reason why Meng Xianzhen can manage this place so well is because she sincerely Thinking about children.

The door of a classroom was open, and there were more than 20 children of different ages sitting in it. They surrounded the young female teacher, beat rhythmically with her hands, and were learning to sing Grandma’s Penghu Bay This song.The singing voice was inconsistent, high and low, and many people were out of tune, but so many voices blended together, but it made people feel so pure and natural.Meng Xianzhen stopped and looked at these children who didn't know how to worry, her eyes were gentle and distressed. After a long time, she sighed deeply, and then said: "They are all very good children."

"Are they all abandoned?" Yu Tong looked unbelievable. In her opinion, although some of these children have disabilities, their smiles are so clean and pure. Even seeing them makes her feel distressed. How can their parents bear the heart? Abandon them?

"In our orphanage, most of the children have all kinds of physical problems, some are deformed in appearance, some are physically sick, which is why their parents abandoned them." Meng Xianzhen looked inside the room, "My So the purpose of setting up this orphanage is to give these children a place to grow up, but this is not something I can do alone. You see, the girl in the classroom is a volunteer who came here to help. Every day there are people like People like her come here, some teach children to sing and draw, some teach children to write, without their help, the orphanage would not be able to get to where it is today."

"That's also because Meng Yuanzi provided you with such a place." Yu Tong said in admiration.

"There is so little I can do. Now I just hope that more people will pay attention to these poor children so that they can grow up like normal people." When speaking, Meng Xianzhen kept her eyes on the classroom, The singing didn't stop, and her eyes became more and more gentle.

"Yes, I will. Although it is unfortunate to be abandoned, it is also the greatest luck for them to meet you." Yu Tong said sincerely, "Look at these children, everyone has a smile on their faces, yes For them, this is home, and you and these teachers are their family."

Meng Xianzhen couldn't help but cast a grateful look at her: "If everyone can be as understanding and courteous as Miss Yu, the orphanage won't encounter so many difficulties."

"What do you mean?" If possible, Yu Tong also wants to do something outside of work.But Meng Xianzhen didn't seem to want to continue, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just some difficulties in management, it's not a big deal, it will get better after a while. Let's go, I'll take you to the reference room first."

Yu Tong was so fascinated just now that she almost forgot what was going on. She looked at Xiao Yu embarrassedly, but Xiao Yu didn't respond. It’s the same with the case, you can’t just retreat when you encounter a problem, no matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way to solve it, right, Happy Home can now have such a scale, and it will definitely get better and better in the future.”

Seeing that Xiao Yu hadn't spoken, Yu Tong thought that what she had done just now had wasted time and made him angry, so she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and Gao Zhishang's words didn't cheer her up.Meng Xianzhen led them to the reference room, and Yu Tong saw a small performance stage in the yard downstairs, with many empty plastic benches under the stage, and a girl in white appeared in the middle, she was sitting in a wheelchair, watching When she woke up, she was only twelve or thirteen years old, she kept her head up, staring at the sky, the sun was so hot, but she never moved.

"Why is this kid there?" Yu Tong stopped and asked worriedly.

Meng Xianzhen followed her gaze and said, "It's her, this child likes to sing, that table is usually used by our orphanage for small activities, she likes to stay there the most, it's all right , I’ll call someone over to take a look.”

"What is she looking at?" Seeing that the girl was motionless, Yu Tong raised his head and followed her line of sight. The sun was so dazzling that his eyes hurt and he couldn't see anything clearly.Gao Zhishang covered his forehead with his hands and looked up. The place the girl was looking at seemed to be the roof, where there was a faint black shadow. Gao Zhishang squinted his eyes for a while, but couldn't see clearly.

"Why don't I go and have a look," he said.They were all policemen, and their intuition was sometimes deadly accurate. Although the girl was only sitting in a wheelchair, she looked so weird and weird.Meng Xianzhen didn't want to bother them, so she said, "Well, I'll call someone over now."

Meng Xianzhen took out her mobile phone, and the girl raised her arms at this moment, pointing high.Xiao Yu's brows gradually frowned: "There is someone on the roof, Xiao Gao, go up and have a look."

"Okay." Xiao Gao nodded. There was a staircase next to him, and he walked up quickly.

At this moment, a shadow fell vertically from the roof of the building and fell on the performance stage in their sight, making a dull sound. Yu Tong covered his mouth and opened his eyes wide in astonishment. Gao Zhishang, who had just stepped up the steps, also stopped.

Blood was spreading on the performance stage, and the girl was still where she came from. Her raised arm followed the falling shadow and stretched out, quietly pointing forward.

There, lay a dying man.
