he replied in a cold and desolate voice. " 。A fair finger picked up another bandage and tore it open, ready to stick it on the wound. Suddenly, the wrist was grasped tightly. 。She was forced to look u...Having obtained the desired clue, Ye Xiao immediately arranged for someone to set up a contact code and prepare for the arrest three days later.

For the past three days, Ye Xiao had no rest, constantly reviewing materials. Shao Qing sent over some information about the Fu family.

Fu Shaoqing was unable to find out about the butler's background and returned to Nanjiang immediately to arrange for someone to investigate the orphanage director's home address. The investigation results showed that the director had died of illness a year ago.

Clue cut off

Fu Shaoqing contacted the former dean's family, using the excuse of looking for information on an orphan who had lived in the orphanage. He successfully arranged a meeting with the former dean's son.

The meeting place was an old house where the former dean used to live, located on the outskirts of the city in a rural area.

The gray-toned brick house was quite old, its exterior walls faded and dilapidated, the wooden door chipped and peeling paint, giving off a musty, aged scent. The courtyard, however, was surprisingly clean and tidy, as if someone visited regularly to sweep it.

Fu Shaoqing came alone, the old dean's son had already been waiting for him.

The old dean's son introduced himself. His name is Li Jianguo.

He was a man in his forties or fifties, wearing a faded checkered shirt. He was tall and thin with thick glasses and a slightly bald head. Fu Shaoqing's investigation materials said he was a university professor.

Li Jian Guo faced Fu Shao Qing without flinching, seemingly unconcerned or afraid of Fu Shao Qing's status.

Please have Fu Shaoqing enter the room and look up some information about the former dean's life.

Besides the old principal who worked at the orphanage, none of his family members had experience working there, so they couldn't provide Fu Shaoqing with more information about the orphanage.

Li Jian Guo only remembered his father had handwritten some materials before he died, which might be helpful to Fu Shao Qing. While looking through the old dean's belongings, Fu Shao Qing unexpectedly saw the old dean's photo album.

Li JianGuo told him, this is a group photo of the former dean and generations of orphans.

Upon hearing this, Fu Shaoqing's black eyes lit up.

Opening the heavy photo album, black-and-white old photos come into view.

"This is my father when he was young," Li Jianguo pointed to a photo where a tall, slender man who resembled him in appearance stood.

Fu Shaoqing lowered his eyes to browse the album. The first few pages were solo photos of the old dean when he was young, in black and white. After flipping through two or three pages, the photos turned into color.

The people in the photo album have also changed from one person to many, most of whom are taking pictures with children. The ages of the children range from a few years old to teenagers. Fu Shaoqing can't tell who the housekeeper is from the figures of the children for now.

Li JianGuo told him that the back of the photo album was written with the shooting date and the child's name.

Fu Shaoting pulled out a photo, flipped it over, and on the back, in small, neat handwriting, each child's name was written.

He decisively borrowed the entire photo album, intending to take it back and look through it carefully.

Li Jianguo readily agreed and took out five photo albums one by one from the drawer. He also found the relevant orphanage information, a thick stack of it, and handed it all to Fu Shaoqing.

Fu Shaoqing returned to the villa with a pile of things and spent all night poring over the documents. He compared them with photos and names written after each photo, but unexpectedly found that none of them included the butler's name!

The caretaker admitted to having lived in the orphanage. Given the caretaker's age, the former headmaster should still have been in office at the time. Why weren't there any photos taken

Unless he never actually lived in the orphanage, or changed his name, there would be no record of him.found that he had already left Nanjiang and disappeared without a trace.His carefully laid plans were working perfectly, as everything was going exactly according to his expectations.His wife and chil...
