Chapter 929: Both Parents Died
The dean was quite old and thought for a while before speaking slowly.
"I only know that their parents died early and they have been living with their relatives. Because the two children ran to an orphanage, their relatives were scolded by the police and simply refused to raise them."
"In fact, we all know that they were just looking for an excuse to abandon her. In the end, Xia Chun took the initiative to ask to stay in the orphanage, and the matter was dropped."
"I remember asking the police about their parents, but they avoided talking about it and just asked us to take good care of the children."
The dean stroked the photos of the two sisters and sighed slightly.
"In fact, I can sense something from the police's words. The death of their parents is probably not simple."
"By the way, can you still see Xia Chun?"
The dean suddenly looked at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.
Lin Zhiyi nodded. Now it was basically certain that Xia Chun was Xia Wan, and Shirley was her younger sister Xia Xue.
The dean said, "She left in a hurry to go to college and left a photo in her room. I have been keeping it for her. I remember she kept it under her pillow at the time. If you can see her, please help me return it to her. It should be very important to her."
"Okay." Lin Zhiyi agreed.
The dean kept a photo of the two sisters and then took down the other photos.
"I don't know if they have met each other. If not, these photos are a memory. Let's give them to her together."
"Ah."
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen followed the dean into the office.
The dean found an envelope in the drawer and took out a photo from it.
Lin Zhiyi held the photo, confused.
She had expected it to be a family photo or something like that.
I didn't expect it to be a solo photo. The photo was a little yellowed and had wrinkles at the corners.
But it does not detract from a woman's beauty.
The woman sat on the chair with a relaxed posture and a gentle smile.
Especially this face, it's very beautiful.
In the era when beauty filters were not well developed, women perfectly embodied the classic and stunning figure.
The dean smiled and said, "Isn't she beautiful? I felt the same way as you when I saw her. How could there be such a beautiful woman?"
"Who is this?"
"Judging from her features, I guess she is the sisters' mother," explained the dean.
Lin Zhiyi handed the photo to Gong Chen.
Gong Chen held up the photo and looked at it, just revealing the back side in front of Lin Zhiyi.
"Wait." She raised her hand and held Gong Chen's wrist, "There are words on the back."
She leaned closer to identify it, and said slowly: "It's...Qian."
flourishing.
This was the name the old man called out when he was seriously ill in his previous life.
But there is no one named Qianqian in the Gong family.
Are you referring to this woman?
Gong Chen also remembered the question that Lin Zhiyi had once asked him.
The two looked at each other.
When it comes to the woman who has a relationship with the old man, they can't help but think in a certain direction.
"That... can't be..."
"..."
Gong Chen was speechless for a moment.
Because it is very likely so.
The dean asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Zhiyi was embarrassed.
"Thank you for your help," the dean instructed.
"it is good."
Lin Zhiyi put all the photos into the envelope together.
Before leaving, Gong Chen asked, "Dean, do you still remember the police officer who handled this matter back then?"
The dean smiled and said, "Remember, he is in charge of our area, and the police station is not far from here."
"Thank you."
As he said that, Gong Chen left his business card.
"Dean, if you need anything here, you can contact me directly. You're welcome."
“Thank you, may you be safe and happy.”
The dean looked at the two of them and gave them his sincere blessings.
Lin Zhiyi smiled and left the orphanage with Gong Chen.
In the car, Lin Zhiyi looked at the photos again.
"Third Master, congratulations, you have two more sisters."
"..."
Gong Chen was speechless.
Lin Zhiyi suddenly had an idea: "What the netizens said is indeed true. My mother is rich and prosperous, and my father has rich brothers and sisters."
Gong Chen took the photo and looked at it again.
"Not sure yet."
"uncertain?"
Lin Zhiyi was a little curious.
The old man is definitely capable of doing such a thing.
After all, this is not the first time that an illegitimate child has come to the door.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the police station.
After explaining their purpose, the police took them to find the old policeman.
The old policeman put down his teacup and looked at the two of them.
"Which one?"
Gong Chen stepped forward and whispered a few words.
The old policeman nodded twice.
"As for them, I remember them too. We would always say hello when we went on patrol near the orphanage. I saw the sisters a few times, but they didn't like to talk much."
"As for their families... it's also a tragedy."
As he spoke, the old policeman had already taken out the files from that year.
Because they have never seen a sister taking her younger sister to an orphanage, they must visit and investigate thoroughly.
The old policeman said, "Did you know that their father is from Beijing?"
Lin Zhiyi shook his head.
Come to think of it, what Xia Wan said when they first met was actually quite strange.
She said she lived in Lancheng, but she didn't say she was from Lancheng.
Maybe she didn't consider herself a Lancheng person from the bottom of her heart.
As he spoke, Gong Chen had already started looking through the files.
Gong Chen handed a photo to Lin Zhiyi.
After Lin Zhiyi took it, he was confused again.
"This is theirs..."
"Dad, they look very similar." The old policeman smiled.
Lin Zhiyi wanted to take back what he said in the car that the Xia sisters were Gong Chen's sisters.
The father and his two daughters are really alike.
"suicide?"
Just as Lin Zhiyi and the old policeman were looking at the photos, Gong Chen suddenly spoke up.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and asked, "What suicide?"
The old policeman said, "Their father committed suicide by jumping off a building. The records in Beijing City show that his business failed and he owed too much money. He couldn't pay it back, so he jumped off the building out of despair. His wife took the children back to their hometown, Lancheng, but died of illness not long after. The two children became a burden to the relatives. At first, they were willing to support them because their mother left them a lot of money, but later they changed their attitude when the money was taken away. They were not bad to the children, but they were very cold. Zheng's children of such a young age needed love and care, so the elder sister took the younger sister to the orphanage."
After saying that, he sighed.
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
Instead, Gong Chen stared at the information with a serious expression.
She leaned in closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gong Chen pointed to the records in the archives.
"Gong has also participated in this cooperative project."
"Gong family? Could it be..." the old man?
"Yeah." Gong Chen responded lightly.
"So they are seeking revenge?" Lin Zhiyi stared at the information. "No, their father's business failed. Since the police didn't find anything, there is nothing wrong with suicide. They can't blame the Gong family, right? Besides, you only said that the Gong family was involved, which means there are other people involved."
Gong Chen nodded: "Something else must have happened."
Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, I figured out some things. At least I know the reason."
She turned to the old policeman and asked, "Excuse me, what's wrong with their mother?"
