Chapter 16: The Secret of the Orphanage

Chapter 16 The Secret of the Orphanage 【Good Luck Children's Nursing Home】【A private nursing home located in the suburbs of Tokyo. 】 Toru Amuro read it over and over again and was sure that there were only these two lines of description on the paper... at most there was a panoramic photo of the orphanage from the front. “What… is going on?” Toru Amuro saw the paper in tatters, but couldn't tell what was wrong. Su Beixun said in a "you're so stupid" tone: "I've always believed that childhood habits are more or less reflected in adulthood... The most important thing about this commission is to find the backup ID card first... So I want to go to the orphanage and try to find out Jiang Gu Yichuan's habit of hiding things." Amuro Toru obviously found it difficult to accept this explanation: "Just... because of this?" Su Beixun spread his hands and said, "Is there any other way now?" Toru Amuro was speechless, and felt both amused and annoyed. He thought to himself that he was too cautious and overestimated Su Beixun. After confirming that Su Beixun was "helpless" about the mission, Amuro Toru was not prepared to stay any longer. He said "good luck to you guys", pretended to have no interest in the matter, opened the car door and left. He walked across the street as if nothing had happened, avoiding places where people inside the car might see him. He found a corner to call his police colleague, but his hand touched nothing in his arms.

He froze, then he remembered that his cell phone was taken away by Su Beixun, and he suddenly became stunned in the cold wind of the night. the other side. Su Beixun was still flipping through the documents one by one. He didn't care about Amuro Toru's opinion. He picked up the papers that he had placed on the chair after he left, rearranged them, and organized his thoughts in an orderly manner. However, Vodka, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly said, "That's not what you really think!" Su Beixun raised his head in surprise, looked at Vodka, and smiled again, "Why do you say that?" Vodka used one free hand to adjust his sunglasses and explained, "Bourbon doesn't know you, but I was there when Big Brother checked your information that day... Big Brother said you were a scary kid, so I think your thoughts must not be that simple." Su Beixun leaned back on the backrest and asked with interest: "What is your relationship with Gin? Just because of his casual comment, you firmly believe that I am hiding something... Ha, you two are not childhood sweethearts who grew up together, right?" Faced with Su Beixun's teasing, Vodka was a little angry, but he didn't know how to refute. Talking has never been his strong point. Su Beixun then asked, "In your eyes, what kind of person is Jiang Gu Yichuan? Throw away the information you got from the organization and just look at it from the perspective of an ordinary citizen." Vodka thought for a moment and said honestly, "He is a successful person... well, and a great philanthropist." "Bingo!" Su Beixun snapped his fingers and said with emotion, "Everyone who is successful enough will eventually become a philanthropist. From a certain perspective, the more successful you are, the more philanthropic you will be." He pulled out a document and read to Vodka: "Establishing a charity fund to help the elderly, paying out of your own pocket to encourage vaccination, improving the marine environment at all costs, and generously supporting poor mountainous areas..." Su Beixun read all these for nearly ten minutes, then raised his head and asked, "How is it? Did you hear anything wrong?" Vodka was confused and stammered, "You...you mean...his image is too good, which doesn't match his experience and personality, so there is a problem?" Su Beixun did not laugh at him, but guided him: "The image does not have to conform to the personality. It is just a superficial appearance shown to others... However, whether he is doing charity out of his own heart or for show, don't you think something is missing?" Vodka was stuck and his face turned red for a moment, until he saw Su Beixun put a piece of paper in front of him as a reminder, and then he suddenly realized: "It's that orphanage!" Su Beixun nodded: "Jiang Gu Yichuan relied on the orphanage to survive after being abandoned. Whether it is out of his own heart or eager to show off, he should support this orphanage." "However, in his philanthropic experience, all the big and small things were mentioned, but there was no mention of his contribution to the orphanage where he was born... This can only mean that he deliberately covered it up!" Vodka still didn't understand: "But this doesn't prove anything." Su Beixun's eyes were deep, and he spoke softly: "Sometimes, the more you care about something, the less you want others to care about it... Since Jiang Guyichuan doesn't want anyone to know that he has a connection with this orphanage, then there must be a secret in this orphanage that Jiang Guyichuan cares about the most!"

Vodka barely followed the train of thought, looking at Su Beixun in disbelief. Among a bunch of details, he accurately grasped the key! Until this moment, he truly understood why his elder brother said that Su Beixun was a terrible little devil! Vodka looked down at the monitor on his chest. This mission had been around for more than a month, and Gin had not been able to dispatch enough firepower, so he gave it to Su Beixun with the idea of ​​giving it a try... He didn't know what his brother was feeling on the other end of the monitor... Vodka sighed for a moment, then thought of Bourbon, and asked again: "Why don't you explain it to Bourbon this way?" Su Beixun shook his head without answering. He patted Vodka's shoulder and said, "Let's go to the Good Luck Children's Nursing Home." Vodka looked at the camera in his hand awkwardly. Su Beixun sighed, helped him fix the surveillance camera on his chest to the back of the driver's seat, pointed it at himself, and said, "That's it, let's put the camera aside for now... It's two o'clock in the morning, and it will take almost four hours to get there. Drive slowly, I'll take a nap." Vodka responded and started the car smoothly. Su Beixun closed his eyes, but he did not fall asleep. He was thinking about the various situations he might encounter on this trip... He was sure that this matter would be more troublesome than it seemed! An ID card that can log into the organization's member identity database... Gin actually let an outsider like him handle this kind of thing... If they want to find evidence of me, the more straightforward it is, the easier it will be. Is it because they are confident that there are surveillance cameras? Or do they think they will never succeed and want to use this as a warning? Su Beixun didn’t know, but it didn’t matter. No matter what situation he encountered, he would not lose! The black Honda car was like a ghost in the night, floating past the tall buildings and speeding towards the quiet suburbs. Su Beixun sat on the soft cushion, sorting out the preparations he had made. Letting Toru Amuro know that the target is Eko Ikawa is to draw out the power of the Public Security Balance Organization. After all, Gin can see his actions through surveillance, so there is no guarantee that he will not abandon the donkey after it has done its job. But because it is only a possibility, and my current position is inclined towards the organization, I cannot let the police get too involved so as not to interfere with my actions. When Toru Amuro asked himself what he wanted to do... If I lie to him and tell him another location, then when he finds out through the public security that my real destination is the orphanage, he will definitely be alert to the orphanage. If he said nothing, he would most likely send someone to follow him, and would also focus on the orphanage. And if he had spoken his true thoughts without concealing anything, the outcome would have been the same. Therefore, while honestly telling the destination, he made up a rather outrageous reason... Only in this way could he make Amuro Toru subconsciously ignore the investigation of the orphanage. It is not yet known how effective these preparations will be, but as the old saying goes, you can do without them, but you can’t live without them! (End of this chapter)
