After saying goodbye, the two walked down the corridor of the orphanage one after another, preparing to leave.
Xiao He quietly asked in Li Dongliao's ear: "Why can't you tell the dean that we are looking for Wang Mei?"
Li Dongliao walked in front and said softly: "Do you want to scare the snake away?"
"Officer Li, do you think..." Xiao He came up and said, "The dean here will tip off the news?"
"I don't know. Team Tan said it's always right to be cautious."
The sounds of children laughing and playing kept coming from around them, and they passed by Li Dongliao and the others.
Li Dongliao's eyes paused on these children, then turned to Xiao He and said: "Don't talk about work in other people's territory. Let's talk about it when we go out."
Xiao He quickly lowered his head and replied softly: "Yes..."
The children here are obviously different from the children in the Red Heart Orphanage, and they are divided into two camps.
The children in the Red Heart Orphanage are bored. Before they are completely familiar with the environment of their 'new home', the familiar children like to sit in the corner and quietly watch others play.
The children in the local orphanage were very happy, running around with toys in their hands, very lively.
Li Dongliao suddenly felt the need to urinate. He threw the notebook to Xiao He: "I'm going to the bathroom. You go to the gate and wait for me."
Xiao He nodded and took the notebook: "Okay."
The toilets, urinals and cesspits in the orphanage are all small in size, and Li Dongliao carefully aimed them to avoid accidentally dripping on the ground.
When I was peeing happily, the voices of several boys came from the single room next to me.
"Originally, the delicious chicken legs can only be eaten every other day. We haven't eaten for three days since you came here, and we have to share half of the other food and toys with you!"
"That's right, you freeloaders, get out!"
Li Dongliao listened silently. It turned out that there was a gap between the children in the two kindergartens.
It seems that the children are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface. Looking at it this way, the dean has a long way to go...
It is common for children to fight and fight among themselves. Li Dongliao remembered that he used to quarrel with the neighbor's children when he was a child, so he did not intend to interfere in the children's affairs, so he zipped up his pants and prepared to leave.
Before I even walked out of the bathroom door, I heard a loud clang from behind, and then a kicking sound.
The sound was deafening, and when it got to this point, Li Dongliao didn't think it was a small matter.
So he immediately turned around and went back, shouting to stop: "You all, stop it!"
There are two children who commit violence, one has a broad head and the other has a round head.
In addition, the three children who were abused were not very tall, and they looked like three small potatoes.
The little boy who was abused was pushed down beside the toilet, while the other two were trying to hold his head down and make him drink the water from the toilet.
The two children, Kuan and Yuan, were instantly intimidated by the roar from the adults behind them.
"Hurry, hurry up!" The little boy with a broad head grabbed the sleeve of the little boy with a round head, and then ran away in despair.
The little boy with a round head reacted a little slowly and was caught by Li Dongliao just as he was about to run away.
"You have to run away if you do something wrong? Do you know what uncle does?" Li Dongliao half-crouched and took out the handcuffs from his waist. "Uncle is a policeman. If you bully other children, be careful not to be caught by uncle and put in the police station." Game!"
I saw the handcuffs and heard that I was about to be arrested by the police and taken to the police station.
The round-headed little boy sat down on the ground and cried out.
When Li Dongliao saw someone crying, he continued to shake the handcuffs in his hand: "Do you know you were wrong?"
"I know, I know!!" The round-headed boy couldn't stop crying and confessed loudly.
Seeing him crying like this, Li Dongliao pulled him to the toilet door: "Children must apologize if they do something wrong. Please apologize to the children who were bullied by you."
The round-headed boy sobbed and slowly stopped crying. He looked at the little boy in the toilet and then at Li Dongliao, but said nothing.
When Li Dongliao wasn't paying attention, he feinted and fled out of the toilet door.
Li Dongliao didn't expect this trick. The source child ran away faster than a rabbit and was slippery, making it impossible to catch him.
Seeing the two bullying children running away without a trace, Li Dongliao stood up straight with a look of helplessness.
The little boy in the toilet stall stood up holding on to the toilet. He looked calm and calmly patted the water stains on his body.
"I'm sorry for letting them run away." Li Dongliao reached out to help him, "Are you okay?"
Just when Li Dongliao thought that as an adult, he should comfort him in time or provide other encouragement, a cold word came to his ears: "Do you policemen believe the tears of criminals?"
"W-what..." Li Dongliao was shocked by this sentence.
His body was half bent, his hands were in the air, and he stared at the little boy in front of him with a bewildered face.
"It's nothing." The little boy pushed away Li Dongliao's hand that stretched out to help him, "Please give way, I have to change my clothes."
"Ah, okay, okay." Li Dongliao subconsciously took a step back to make way for the child.
Speaking of clothes, Li Dongliao saw the name hanging on the little boy.
This child's name is Xiaoqi...
'Xiaoqi...Xiaoqi...' Li Dongliao silently chanted this name in his heart, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Just when Xiaoqi was about to walk out of the room, Li Dongliao remembered that he had talked about this child in Tanwan.
She also said on the phone that Wang Mei seemed to be very familiar with a child named Xiaoqi.
Li Dongliao stared at Xiaoqi's back for a while, then asked: "You...do you know Wang Mei?"
"Not familiar." Xiao Qi opened his mouth and answered without stopping.
"You mean unfamiliar, not unfamiliar!" Li Dongliao quickly caught up and closed the toilet door first.
The toilet door slammed shut under the force. Not to mention Xiaoqi, even Li Dongliao himself was shocked.
After realizing this, Li Dongliao hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to talk to you about Teacher Wang Mei. She is the only teacher in the Red Heart Orphanage. Do you remember her, right? "
Xiao Qi looked up at him, expressionless and silent.
Seeing that the other party gave him a chance to speak, Li Dongliao was still a little happy.
"Have you seen Teacher Wang Mei recently? Has she visited you since you came to this orphanage?"
He asked the same question as the dean.
Li Dongliao, who always believed that children would not lie, looked forward to hearing a different answer from Xiaoqi's mouth.
Xiao Qi looked at him expressionlessly for a while, then blurted out: "No."
Two very simple words made Li Dongliao feel ashamed: "Yes, yes, that's such a pity."
"This is nothing to regret."
"If teachers or staff who are familiar with you come together to take care of you, you will have a familiar adult to turn to when you are bullied. This is a good thing for you, isn't it?"
