Chapter 359 Archives

After Qin Fen took Han Xu and others into the welfare home, Miao Xiaofeng was already waiting inside.

And contacted the dean here.

The dean is an older middle-aged man, wearing a very ordinary pair of thick-rimmed glasses. His temples are a little gray, but he has a good spirit.

"Captain Qin, Han Xu, this is Dean Chen of Happy Little Family."

"Hello, Dean Chen, I am Qin Fen from the Northern Suburbs Police Station, and this is Han Xu."

Qin Fen stepped forward and shook hands with Dean Chen.

"Captain Qin, hello, and you, welcome." Dean Chen subconsciously raised his hand to push up the glasses on his nose. Seeing so many police officers for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Team Miao must have told you our purpose of coming, right?" Qin Fen got straight to the point and didn't want to waste too much time.

Dean Chen nodded, "Come with me. Our files here are always well organized, but I don't know if I can find what you are looking for."

"Thank you very much, Dean Chen," Qin Fen said politely.

"What did Captain Qin say? It is the duty of every citizen to assist your police in handling cases!"

After Dean Chen finished speaking, he led a group of people into the building of Xingfu Xiaojia Welfare Institute.

It is said to be a building, but it actually only has two floors, and it was built many years ago. Although it looks clean and tidy, it always gives people a very strange feeling, as if they have stepped into a place that exists in another space.

"This building is old, right?" Miao Xiaofeng said casually while looking at the layout of the building.

Dean Chen stopped and turned around and said, "Yes, it seems to have been built in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, I was still a little kid.

Alas, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed. "

As soon as Han Xu and others entered the building, they looked back and forth curiously, as if they had returned to that distant era!

"In a few years, this building will almost become a dilapidated building, but our new home will start construction after the new year." Dean Chen said, smiled slightly, and said as he walked, "The archives are on the second floor. Come with me. Bar."

The group of people followed Dean Chen upstairs one after another, and saw an old wooden sign hanging on the wall of the room turning left on the second floor.

The handwriting on it is blurry, and the word "case" can be vaguely distinguished.

"I'll make you laugh. Alas, the courtyard has never had much money to maintain these, but things have gotten much better in recent years. New homes are almost being built."

Dean Chen seemed to care about his new home, and there was a hint of relief and pride in his words.

Han Xu glanced at Dean Chen, who was wearing a crisp suit, and felt a little strange, but he couldn't grasp the point and didn't say anything more.

As he spoke, Dean Chen took out a large bunch of keys from his pocket and carefully identified them for a long time before finding one. Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I'm old and my eyesight is not that good!"

"It's okay," Qin Fen and Miao Xiaofeng replied in unison, seeming to have a tacit understanding.

With a "squeak", the door of the archives room was opened.

As soon as Han Xu entered, he smelled a musty smell on the tip of his nose. It was the smell emitted by brown paper bags when they got wet. It wasn't too strong, but it wasn't very pleasant either.

In the archives room, there were neatly arranged rows of bookshelves that were found in old-fashioned libraries.

It was crowded with all kinds of boxes, and you could even see a packaging box for instant noodles!

"It's been a long time. I haven't seen this brand of instant noodles when I was a child!" Li Le muttered softly.

Qin Fen turned around and glared at him without saying anything more.

Li Le closed his mouth knowingly.

Han Xu nodded and moved closer to Li Le, "It's indeed quite early."

Qin Fen turned around when he heard the words. When he saw that the speaker was Han Xu, he immediately turned back!

It means nothing at all!

Li Le frowned fiercely, hehe, what kind of treatment is this? How can the gap between people be so big!

Chengzi stood outside the door and did not come in, but when he saw Li Le's deflated look, he almost laughed out loud.

After Dean Chen entered the archives, he shuttled back and forth between several bookshelves, looking left and right, somewhat confused.

Seeing this, Miao Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask, "Dean Chen, don't you have someone specializing in file management here?"

Dean Chen smiled awkwardly again, "There used to be some, but the wages were too low and many people were unwilling to work. Now there are not many people in the entire welfare home.

Alas, you have also seen that the environment here is not very good. I am just waiting for the new home to be built and the children will be transferred there. Then I will recruit more people!

Now, just deal with it if you can, there are only a few days left. "

Miao Xiaofeng nodded when he heard this, "How about, Dean Chen, let's help you find it together?"

"That's not necessary." Before Dean Chen finished speaking, he seemed to have discovered something, "Hey, isn't this it?"

After a while, Dean Chen walked out from the gap between the bookshelves holding a large cardboard box.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. These materials are in a mess, mainly because I'm not very familiar with them."

Han Xu hurriedly stepped forward and took the cardboard box from Dean Chen's hand.

It was quite heavy to hold, so I simply placed it on the floor.

Dean Chen looked at the label on the carton again and said, "Yes, that's it! These are the files of children who left our place in the past three to five years."

Qin Fen and Miao Xiaofeng exchanged a few polite words, and then both squatted down.

Han Xu had already wiped off the dust on the carton and opened it carefully.

Qin Fen and others came over to take a look and saw that the box was filled with old-fashioned brown paper bags.

Han Xu casually pulled one out, with basic information such as name and age written on the package.

"Dean Chen, are there any photos in this?" Miao Xiaofeng asked.

"Yes, there are photos attached to the information inside!" Dean Chen replied accordingly.

Han Xu simply took out all the cowhide bags in the carton!

There is strength in numbers, so the group of people rummaged through the materials one by one under the dim light of the archives room.

A few minutes passed, but everyone rummaged through the brown leather bags in the carton and still found nothing!

No child's information can match the information of Xiao Xiba.

Miao Xiaofeng and Qin Fen looked at each other and shook their heads, "No!"

Han Xu frowned when he saw this, a little unwilling to accept it, and turned to look at Dean Chen, "Dean Chen, are all the files and materials from the past three to five years here?"

Dean Chen nodded and pushed up his glasses again, "It's all here. I promise there's nothing missing."

After hearing this, Han Xu looked at the rows of bookshelves again.

"Han Xu, how about we find another welfare home?" Qin Fen said.

Han Xu suddenly remembered something and took out his mobile phone from his pocket...
