Chapter 398 Lurking
Chapter 398 Lurking
While waiting, Chao Ke sipped the tea in the cup one sip at a time. However, even after he finished several cups, the dean and the children still did not arrive.
Chao Ke looked at the woman next to him and expressed his doubts.
Unexpectedly, the woman told her that the dean had to take the children away to prepare for the next filming and would not be back for some time.
"Is that so?"
He nodded to Ke and immediately had a plan in mind.
Taking the [Bilan Heavy Machine] from his predecessor, Chao Ke stood up from the chair in the reception room and walked towards the woman.
"Mr. Boss?"
The woman looked at Chao Ke who was walking towards her with confusion.
"I drank too much tea. I need to go to the bathroom. Ma'am, can you guide me in the right direction?"
The woman bit her lower lip lightly, looking at Chao Ke's expression which did not seem fake, and was half-believing and half-doubting for a moment.
But after all, he was the financial sponsor she wanted to cooperate with, so the woman could not refuse. Thinking that the camera on Chao Ke had been taken away by the dean, the woman simply stood up and called another staff member from the corridor, asking her to stay and receive Falushan for her. The dean's confidant personally accompanied Chao Ke to the restroom and kept an eye on him all the way.
After the woman had made the arrangements, she led Chao Ke to the restroom in the deepest corner. Due to the difference between men and women, the woman did not go in with Chao Ke, but still stood in front of the restroom door. After Chao Ke went in, she knocked on the door and said to Chao Ke.
"Mr. Boss, I'll be standing outside the door. If you need any help, just call me."
Hearing the woman's words, which seemed to be concerned but were actually hinting to Chao Ke that she had been following him outside the door, Chao Ke smiled disdainfully.
Looking at the ventilation window on the top, Chao Ke tapped the ground with his toes and jumped up in an instant.
However, it is not so easy to climb out through the window.
Perhaps the managers of the orphanage wanted to prevent the children from sneaking out, so except for the top floor, all the windows on the lower floors were installed with tight protective nets made of fine iron to block this escape route.
However, this was nothing to Chao Ke. He grabbed the guardrail with one hand and pushed it outwards. The tight protective net made of fine steel was easily pushed open by Chao Ke.
During the whole process, the protective net neither deformed nor made any sound. Chao Ke was able to do this not by relying on top-notch force skills or unrivaled strength, but to ensure that everything was foolproof. He controlled the fire element and instantly melted several connection points of the protective net on the wall, allowing it to be easily pushed open like a curtain.
After escaping, Chao Ke relied on his strong body to nimbly climb up the outer wall of the orphanage. Due to limited time, Chao Ke was unable to conduct a large-scale investigation. He could only randomly select a layer and drill into the fuse protection net using the same trick.
After opening the window, Chao Ke stood on the windowsill and sniffed a few times with the tip of his nose. He smelled several scents of disinfectant at the same time, and heard the sound of a mop and sweeping the floor coming from a distance.
Chao Ke jumped steadily from the windowsill, supported himself low, looked around, and sneaked towards the direction of the sound.
As the exploration deepened, Chao Ke was certain that the place he entered was the infirmary of the Gray River District Orphanage. However, unlike the conventional impression that infirmaries occupy a smaller area, this one in the orphanage had definitely undergone expansion.
It was probably done by connecting the [infirmary], which was not very big in the original design, with the nearest children's dormitory, thus expanding a huge space.
In addition, the single beds that were originally intended to be used to accommodate patients have also been converted into bunk beds in order to provide more accommodation for patients.
But the strange thing is that in the [Infirmary] with such an expanded placement capacity, there are not many sick children being placed. As far as the eye can see, there is only a skinny child lying in the corner at the end.
Moreover, in the [Infirmary] which should have been clean and hygienic, there were bloodstains, unknown body fluids, and stains on the beds.
Everything, everything, reveals abnormality.
Chao Ke thought for a while and decided to go to the corner to check on the child first, and then deal with the staff who were mopping the floor.
However, as he got closer to the child, Chao Ke's expression became more and more ugly.
Not until he had completely reached the child's side, smelled the breath that had completely disappeared, and listened to the heartbeat that had become extremely silent, Chao Ke had no choice but to accept the fact that the child in front of him had left.
Time was running out, and Chao Ke had no time to feel sad. He quickly examined the child's body, trying to determine the cause of the child's death.
However, the body without any signs of external injuries and the thin body without any signs of disease forced Chao Ke to make the most reluctant judgment.
This child who passed away had no cause of illness.
He was starved to death.
Chao Ke stood silently in front of the narrow double bed. He couldn't imagine that in Fontainebleau, where productivity was relatively advanced among the Seven Kingdoms, there would be children dying from such a painful cause.
Chao Ke felt that he should do something.
Operating the [Bilan Heavy Machine] developed by his wife to fly up and down, Chao Ke wanted to firmly fix the evidence.
Suddenly, Chao Ke discovered an abnormal bulge on the child's chest. After hesitating for a while, Chao Ke stepped forward and felt around, and found it was a diary.
Since it took a lot of time to examine and determine the cause of the child's death, Chao Ke did not have time to take a closer look, so he simply put the child in his arms and waited until he got back to look at it.
After erasing his own exploration traces, Chao Ke did not have time to check on the situation of the staff in the other direction and had to go back quickly.
After all, Senior Falushan is still in the [reception room]. Chao Ke doesn't want to cause any trouble and put her in danger; secondly, it is better not to let her know about some bloody and shady things.
Chao Ke quickly returned along the same route. Considering that he had already scouted the place once, Chao Ke's return journey was much faster than the way he came.
.......
【Restroom】outside.
Somehow, even though the boss had only been in the toilet for a minute or two, the woman still felt a little uneasy. She gritted her teeth and knocked on the door of the bathroom where Chao Ke was.
"Mr. Boss, excuse me, do you have any toilet paper in there? It seems like we haven't put it out for a while."
.....
No one answered for a while.
