Chapter 275: The fire nineteen years ago

In 19 years, for Su Rui, who had been away for 19 years, the excitement in his heart was beyond words after hearing the news of Ye Binglan. [燃^文^书库][][]
Su Rui knew that shortly after he left the children's orphanage, the entire orphanage was burnt to rubble. Even many teachers and children failed to survive. It was an embarrassing disaster.
There were so many casualties, but it did not cause any sensation. The accident was suppressed by the Ninghai Municipal Government at the time. Not many people knew about it.
"I had already requested a leave this afternoon, and I was going to visit the old dean, but you happened to be back, so let's go together." Ye Binglan said happily.
"Okay, but we have to eat first." Su Rui looked at Ye Binglan's tired look between his eyebrows, a little distressed. This girl is good at everything, but she works too hard.
"Yeah, listen to you." Ye Binglan smiled and looked at Su Rui's eyebrows, her eyes never moving away.
As far as Su Rui was concerned, he had been searching for news about the orphanage for so many years, and he was not in a hurry at this moment. Although he was also very excited, Ye Binglan's body was more important in comparison.
"When you come out of the dean's house, I'll take you to massage to relieve fatigue." Su Rui said: "You stay up all night like this. You can't make up for it just by sleeping."
"No problem, listen to you." Ye Binglan smiled and said: "But I don't let men come to massage me."
"Am I considered a man? There is no masseuse better than mine." Su Rui said.
"Are you here to give me a massage?" Ye Binglan smiled like a flower: "Of course!"
…………
The old dean's family lives in an old-fashioned building on the outskirts of the city. In the rapidly changing Ninghai, this kind of house is already an antique and is facing demolition at any time.
"It seems that the old dean didn't do well either." Su Rui said with emotion.
Ye Binglan nodded silently. She also inquired for a long time before getting news from a friend of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
In the memory of the two being not too young, the old dean can be regarded as a more important person. He was already in his fifties and amiable. After counting, he should be in his 70s now.
With mixed feelings, the two of them carried fruits and walked along the dim and humid corridor to the sixth floor, standing in front of an old-fashioned anti-theft door.
Su Rui put his hand on the door, looking a little hesitant.
Feeling closer to the hometown is more timid, and dare not ask anyone.
"Knock it." Ye Binglan said. She took a deep breath and looked a little nervous. At this moment, the two "brothers and sisters" were in exactly the same mood.
Su Rui knocked gently, and an old voice came from the room.
"Who?"
Before Su Rui and Ye Binglan could answer, the door was already opened, and an old man in a simple commoner appeared before them.
Even though his hair is completely white, his figure is a bit cramped, and his face is full of wrinkles, but Su Rui and Ye Binglan can recognize it at a glance. For 19 years, some memories are always so deep and indelible. .
"Old Dean!" Su Rui and Ye Binglan shouted in unison.
Hearing this greeting, the old man's body trembled, a little unbelievable in his muddy old eyes.
This title has almost never sounded in the past ten years, so unfamiliar that he seems to have forgotten it!
"You are?"
The old dean looked at the men and women standing at the door like a pair of biren, hesitated, he was trying to search the memory in his mind, but he couldn't remember it anyway.
In the past twenty years, the children have changed so much that he can no longer recognize them.
"Old Dean, I don't know if you remember, I am Xiaobing, and this is my brother, Su Rui." Looking at the old man in memory, Ye Binglan's eyes were warm.
"Old dean, I am a stone, I don't know if you remember it." Su Rui still clearly remembered his nickname when he was a child. As for the word "Su Rui", the ghost knew who gave it.
"Xiaobing, Stone? It turned out to be you?" The old dean thought for a long time in his mind, and his eyes reappeared with excitement.
"Quickly come in, quickly come in." The old dean quickly let the two into the room, the excited expression on his face could not be concealed.
"My mind is so old that it doesn't work well. It took a long time to think of it." The old dean quickly tried to pour them tea, but he couldn't find a suitable cup.
In the end, the old dean only took out two bowls and filled them with water. Su Rui felt sad when watching this scene.
"Old Dean, aren't your children with you?" Ye Binglan asked carefully.
It seems that the old dean alone lives in this room. The lunch on the table has not been cleaned, only a pair of chopsticks.
"The children are busy with work, and I live far away, so I usually come back to see me once a month." The old dean said with a smile: "My wife got stomach cancer and left me a few years ago. I guess my bones can last a few more years."
Su Rui looked at the furnishings in the room, thinking that the old dean's children were really unfilial, and didn't want to buy some good things for his father.
"Okay, that's great, Xiaobing, Stone, I didn't expect you all to grow up so big." The old dean's eyes kept sweeping across the faces of Su Rui and Ye Binglan, and said with relief. : "The boys and girls are really beautiful."
"I remember that you two liked to stick together when you were young. You were childhood sweethearts. I didn't expect to become a couple when you grow up. It's a good marriage, a perfect match!" The old dean said with emotion.
Couple? Made in heaven?
Obviously, the old dean misunderstood something.
After hearing these words, Ye Binglan's handsome face was slightly red, and there was a sweet feeling in her heart. She took a peek at Su Rui and found that the latter was trying to explain.
"Old Dean, Xiaobing and I are actually..."
Before Su Rui finished speaking, Ye Binglan hurriedly interrupted: "Old Dean, I don't know how your health is for so many years?"
Su Rui glanced at Ye Binglan in surprise, as if interrupting others was not her style.
"My body is pretty tough. I don't have anything to do on weekdays. I walk more and I don't have a cold or fever." The old dean looked at Ye Binglan and Su Rui, and he liked it more and more. The happier I see: "I haven't seen you for so many years, how did you find me here?"
Ye Binglan hesitated and said, "I happened to have a friend in the Civil Affairs Bureau, so I asked him to inquire about it, and then I knew that the old dean you live here."
She didn't say that she had been searching for many years and entrusted many friends, but only recently happened to find news about the old dean.
Because Ye Binglan didn't even know the name of the old dean, and the Ninghai City Government had covered up the fire, and many valuable materials were wiped out.
"Hey, those poor children, I don't know how they are now." The old dean sighed slightly as if he was thinking of something.
After the children in the orphanage entered the society as a teenager, they became three-five teenagers with no one to care about and no questions. Many of them ended up in jail. It is really rare to grow up to Ye Binglan and Su Rui.
Those children are all worried about the old dean.
Su Rui's expression moved, and he asked, "Old Dean, do you still remember the situation of the fire after I left?"
When the old dean heard the word "fire", he seemed to think of something very painful, and his body started to tremble slightly.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Rui did not personally experience the fire, so naturally he didn't know what panic it caused.
"The time of the fire should be shortly after you left." Unexpectedly, the old dean even remembered this exact time.
Su Rui nodded, the answer he got from various parties was the same.
"A few days after you were taken away by a good-hearted person, a big fire broke out in the orphanage. It was at night. Many children and teachers were sleeping and all the school buildings were burned." The old dean said Here, the painful color on his face became clearer, even though it had been so many years, but when I recalled this time, those scenes were still vivid.
"Is it artificial arson?" Su Rui's tone was already very low.
"The Public Security Bureau has filed a case, but then it stopped. Because there were so many children who were burned to death and burned at that time, they were not stingy with a catastrophe. If it were to be spread, it would have a fatal impact on the future of the leaders at that time. ."
Although the old dean didn't say it clearly, he could understand the meaning in his words, and he must also think that this was artificial arson!
So many school buildings were burned at the same time at night, how could it be a natural fire? There is no fire source near the school building! Even if the liquefied gas in the cafeteria exploded, it is impossible to cause such a result!
What a normal person can see at a glance, but due to the wise protection of the government leaders, he has missed the best time to solve the case, and now it has become a pending case!
The cold light in Su Rui's eyes gradually began to condense.
Ye Binglan is a criminal police officer herself, and she immediately began to analyze the possibility of this case.
"After so many years, I'm afraid it's really difficult to check." Ye Binglan thought for a while and sighed softly.
"Later, after the fire, the Fourth Welfare Institute was disbanded, and the teachers and students who survived were placed in other orphanages. I also retired early, and it has been until now."
Su Rui didn't know the cause of the fire before, but now that he knows it, if he doesn't find out, it will be too inconsistent with his personality.
"Old dean, do you remember who was the mayor of Ninghai at the time?" Su Rui did not know this in detail. He was the mayor of Ninghai 19 years ago. Now that long has passed, I am afraid The status is already terrible!
"Of course I remember." The old dean didn't even need to remember, he blurted out: "Bai Keqing, he was very young at that time, he just became the mayor of Ninghai, and he has a bright future."
"The third uncle of the Bai family?" Su Rui raised his brow, like two sharp swords about to be unsheathed!
