Unexpectedly, he suddenly spoke up. After thinking for a while, the dean replied, "It seems there are one or two hundred, after all, it has been such a long time."
Upon hearing this, Li Ru pursed her lips: "I didn't expect it to be this much already. Do they also occasionally help out the orphanage?"
"There will be some days when things are a little easier, but I won't force things to be too easy."
The dean smiled and spoke.
Looking at the kind-faced old man in front of them, Li Ruo and Wen Huaiyan exchanged a glance.
They didn't dwell on that issue any further and went straight to talking about the donation.
Soon, one million was transferred to the welfare home's account.
The dean, upon seeing the string of numbers, was naturally extremely grateful.
Seeing his grateful expression, Wen Huaiyan waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, Dean, we're just doing our part."
At first, the two of them were only thinking about finding the man, but after seeing the children in the orphanage, they actually had the idea of donating money.
Moreover, a million is not a large sum for him.
"yes."
Li Ruo echoed, then whispered, "By the way, Dean, when we came in just now we saw a lot of children playing outside. I wonder if the Dean could show us around?"
"Of course."
Having just accepted their kindness, the dean had no reason to refuse. He immediately stood up and led the two men outside.
After leaving the office, the three of them walked through the play area and arrived at the classroom at the back.
At this moment, some volunteers were teaching the children in the classroom. Looking at their serious expressions, Li Ruo's eyes flickered slightly.
As the dean walked, he introduced the volunteers: "They are all students from nearby universities. They take some time out of their day to teach the children, so it's a good thing for us."
Upon hearing the dean's introduction, the two nodded in unison.
Just as they turned the corner, a photograph appeared before them.
There were many photos of children on the wall, and some of them looked quite old, probably taken many years ago.
Li Ruo carefully examined the people in the photo, when suddenly her gaze was drawn to a large group photo.
There were at least fifty people in that group photo, and in the corner was a boy who looked particularly gloomy.
He stood in the corner, his slightly gloomy eyes staring intently at the camera.
Li Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly and tentatively asked, "Director, are these all children who left the orphanage?"
The dean subconsciously turned around and saw her standing in front of the photo wall. He quickly walked over with a smile.
Looking at the wall full of photos in front of him, he revealed a nostalgic expression: "Yes, they were probably the same group of children who entered the orphanage ten years ago."
Upon hearing this number, Li Ruo and Wen Huaiyan exchanged a glance.
Keep in mind that the fire happened ten years ago. Is it really such a coincidence?
"Could the director tell us the stories of these children?"
Li Ruo smiled and continued.
"You want to hear this?"
The dean was somewhat surprised, but still nodded: "Alright, let's start with the first row then. These children are..."
To Li Ruo's amazement, although the dean was quite old, he still had a deep memory of the children he had personally mentored.
With a smile, he pointed to each child in the photo, finally stopping at the boy who looked quite strange.
He pointed his withered finger at the little boy, his expression filled with regret: "This child is also a tragic figure. His parents died in the fire ten years ago, and he was the only survivor. His name is Zhang Jiadong..."
Both of them were taken aback by these words.
After all, before they came, they never imagined that they would find this so-called "Zhang Jiadong" so easily.
However, whether the other person is the same man from that night remains to be verified.
Looking at the little boy in the photo, Li Ruo silently memorized his appearance, and then, taking advantage of the dean's inattention, carefully took a picture.
By the time the dean finished introducing all the children in the photos, the sun was already high in the sky.
Li Ruofei quickly gave Wen Huaiyan a wink, and seeing this, the man said in a low voice, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in a while, so I won't bother the dean any longer."
His words came suddenly, and the dean was taken aback. After regaining his senses, he said, "Then I'll see you off."
"Thanks!"
They escorted them out of the orphanage, the director's eyes overflowing with gratitude: "Thank you so much. If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit the orphanage. We have some small activities during holidays."
"Of course!"
Li Ruo glanced at the children playing in the orphanage, a smile flashing across her face.
In fact, even if she wasn't looking for the murderer, she wanted to see these little guys.
After saying goodbye to the director, the two walked quickly until they were almost out of sight of the orphanage. Then, Li Ruo took out her phone and showed a photo: "Do you have any way to find out where he is based on this photo?"
Wen Huaiyan shook his head, his expression solemn: "Just one photo is far too little evidence. Besides, even if we want to prove that Zhang Jiadong is the same man from that night, we need to see what he looks like clearly."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo frowned.
So does that mean the evidence they found was useless?
If there's no way to determine whether they are the same person, how can we find out who is behind this?
