Chapter 95
The silver bell made a crisp sound, jingling, rolling all the way on the ground, and finally stopped at Xi Yunze's feet.
The little bell was obviously also smoked by the thick smoke in the fire, with black stains on it, and a third of it was burned by the fire, and the remaining half was hung on the bell.
Long-life lock. Xia Kingdom has had the custom of wearing long-life locks for children since ancient times, which means health and long-lasting life.
The long-lived lock is shaped like a lock, but it is also a bell, which can make a crisp sound.
Xi Yunze stared at the little bell beside his feet blankly, feeling that the blood had solidified, and his body was frozen in place without moving, without coming back to his senses for a while.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Lao Zhou's expression became tight. He was good at observing his words and expressions, and immediately realized something was wrong with his husband.
Xi Yunze ignored Lao Zhou, squatted down tremblingly, and carefully took the small bell, like the black bell burned by the fire, which was a rare treasure.
"gentlemen……"
Lao Zhou had never seen a gentleman in this way, and he was shocked and suspicious.
He looked at the little bell that looked a bit like baby jewelry and vaguely realized something.
Xi Yunze carefully held the little bell in his palm and stared at it tightly without blinking. He was really afraid that it was just an illusion.
He is really familiar with this long life lock, and he can even dream every night. It was the one that the wife personally wore for the child when she was one year old.
Healthy and long-lasting, and full of beauty.
After more than ten years, he finally saw this long-lived lock again.
"Sir, this is..."
Old Zhou couldn't help asking, and he was also very excited at this moment. If it was really something from the young master, then everything would be worth it after the hard work over the past decade.
Xi Yunze held Changxing tightly in his palm, turned around and walked out with great strides.
"Check, check it thoroughly. I want all the information of everyone who lived in this orphanage more than ten years ago."
...
Donghai City, in a retro garden-style building.
This kind of architecture is becoming more and more modern and internationally urbanized Donghai City is already quite rare.
It is estimated that one hand can be counted across the city.
Moreover, this garden-style building covers a considerable area of about 10,000 square meters, making it a treasure of historical and cultural significance.
In the mansion deep in the garden, Xi Yunze stood silently in a hall.
At this moment, everything was quiet, it was already late at night, and he was alone in the huge Chinese hall.
There was an altar in front of him, and there was a portrait of a woman on it.
The woman looked very young, probably only in her twenties or thirties. She had passed away at such a young age and was considered a short-lived person.
"Madam, it's been more than ten years, and I finally found the clues for our son."
"I promised you to find him no matter what. You have to see people alive and die with corpses."
"Maybe...there will be an answer tomorrow."
...
Xi Yunze was very excited and nervous at this moment, and his heart was in a state of uproar.
After more than ten years of searching, there was finally a clue. He was really afraid that although he found his son, his son was dead.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and Xi Yunze can't sleep at all.
Suddenly, he suddenly understood why he had a good impression of Lu Xiaohao.
Because Lu Xiaohao's eyes are very similar to his wife. They are all those clear and spiritual eyes.
If his son could grow up healthily, he would probably be as old as Lu Xiaohao... Xi Yunze thought so.
Xi Yunze stayed in his wife's mourning hall for a night and stood silently all night. It was not until the sky turned slightly white and the morning dew had already wet his clothes. Lao Zhou's news finally came.
I have to say that Lao Zhou is very efficient in his work. In just one night, he missed the information of the orphanage ten years ago.
"Sir, all the information you want is here. However, because time is tight, the information we found is not comprehensive."
"And you also know that the orphanage belongs to that organization, and a lot of key information has been destroyed. After ten years, a lot of information has been found."
Lao Zhou lowered his head with a little ashamed, not very satisfied with the matter he did this time.
Xi Yunze couldn't wait to take a thick stack of information and read it page by page.
He just glanced at a glance and looked through many materials, such as teachers, chefs or managers invited by the orphanage.
These people must have nothing to do with his son.
What he paid the most attention to was of course the information about orphans in the orphanage.
From the moment he found the Longevity Lock, he was sure that his son must have lived in this orphanage.
There were more than 270 copies of information about orphans. However, after he carefully compared them one by one, no information matched his son.
"That's all?"
Xi Yunze frowned slightly and said.
Lao Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, these data have been investigated by using the power of the entire Donghai City. More detailed data is probably difficult to find in a short period of time."
"And that orphanage was burned by a fire for some reason ten years ago. Many of the information was engulfed by the flames and there was no way to find out."
Xi Yunze frowned deeply, and there was indescribable loss in his eyes.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The information about his child was not found in the first batch of information, which is already a very bad sign.
"Continue to search and use all the manpower and material resources. I want information about everyone in the orphanage back then, and no one can be left behind." Xi Yunze said coldly.
"yes."
Lao Zhou said respectfully, turned around and prepared to continue collecting information.
Of course he knew very well how important this matter was, and it would not take a quarter of an hour to delay.
"Wait, the information from that year was burned, so you can go to the surviving people in the orphanage to inquire. There should be a lot of managers and orphans who survived in the orphanage back then?"
"You can come to the door one by one to inquire. Remember, everyone needs to inquire, don't let anyone go."
Xi Yunze said.
Lao Zhou took the order and left. That afternoon, he came back with the news.
"Sir, after investigation and inquiry, there were more than 1,000 orphans in that orphanage." Lao Zhou said with a wry smile.
Xi Yunze frowned when he heard this. You can find detailed information about more than 1,000 orphans? When did the people under his command be so efficient!
Lao Zhou naturally understood what the teacher said in his eyes and said helplessly: "Sir, that orphanage was originally illegally operated, tainted with dirt, and a lot of information was not reported to the official. Moreover, the fire that year also destroyed a lot of information."
"When the orphanage caught fire, some orphans died in the fire, some older orphans ran away by themselves; some orphans disappeared completely and no trace anymore. I guess it was taken away by the people from that organization."
"But after most people escaped, they were taken over by charitable organizations across the country."
"There is an orphanage called Rongshuer at the foot of the mountain. Because it is closest, it received more than 100 orphans that year."
"The director of the Banyan Tree Children Orphanage is an old philanthropist. We may be able to find some useful information from her." Lao Zhou said.
"Let's go to Banyan Tree Children's Orphanage."
Xi Yunze walked straight out without thinking about delaying for a quarter of an hour.
