How to put on the character of Wen Haozai in front of Buteizai

Chapter 26

Facing Atsushi Nakajima's prayer, the old man who softened his heart told what he saw and heard in a simple and euphemistic tone: "Maybe it's because the number of tragedies I saw when I was working here is relatively large. It’s more of a businesslike feeling with orphans.”

It's like an office worker facing his boss. He is more than serious and responsible but not close enough. It can be said that he is completely numb.

But this is also normal, after all, so many children lead to more daily work arrangements for them.

The staff are so busy every day that they don't even have time to rest. How can they have time to cultivate relationships with orphans?

Without the so-called emotional foundation, how could the life in the orphanage be as warm as the news advertised.This orphanage is not so much a so-called "home" as it is a hospital or a hotel.

There is more than enough respect, but not enough affection.

Atsushi Nakajima, who grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, accepts this result well. After all, life in an orphanage is already very good for him. After all, the staff did not do anything similar to Abuse and things like that.

But Kunikida Doppo didn't see it so openly. After quickly recording a few words in his notebook, he pushed his glasses and asked: "Why do you say that you have seen too many tragedies? As far as I know, this orphanage The financial situation and the adoption status of orphans are still good."

There are so-called tragedies in orphanages with a good cycle like this, so what will happen to those orphanages with worse conditions? !

Thinking of this, Kunikida Doppo couldn't help feeling chills all over his head. He shuddered and immediately changed the subject: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the background of the adopters, which makes the future of those adopted orphans not so good?!"

Although it is rare to see orphans being used as goods for sale or resale in Yokohama, Kunikida Doppo also knows that this possibility is not impossible.

After all, the evil of human nature can be said to be beyond imagination in some places.

"If you think about it, this era is not the same as before. The family can't afford food and children, so they have to abandon them."

"Abandoning the children born to oneself at the risk of breaking the law when they can afford to raise them. From this behavior, it can be seen that those abandoned children are more or less in physical condition. The kind that no matter how good it is, it won’t last long.”

The old man at the gate sighed, and then took a deep breath of dry tobacco and said: "Being tortured by illness is already difficult enough, and with the addition of physical defects, they will have to accept it after they enter society. The number of children who can succeed and have a good life is really too small."

"If such a miserable life is not a tragedy, what kind of life is it?" After speaking, the old gatekeeper shook his head with a very disappointed expression.

Forget it, forget it, so what if I pity these orphans here?

And who can pity my grandson? !

Kunikida Doppo felt a little embarrassed when he found that he seemed to have accidentally poked someone's pain point. He squeezed the pen in his hand very uneasy and wanted to apologize to the old man who was watching the gate, but the current situation made him wonder what he should do. Where is the best place to start an apology.

So in the end he said "I'm sorry" in a hurry, and then he continued to ask: "Then what will happen to the children who have not been adopted in the future?"

As he said this, he unconsciously set his eyes on Atsushi Nakajima. Although he hadn't gotten the answer from the old man at the door, he could draw some conclusions from the experience of the newcomers in their detective agency. guess.

After all, the orphanage is only for those underage children. Once they become adults...

"Naturally, we will raise those children until they reach adulthood," said the old man.

The old janitor's answer was not beyond Kunikida Doppo's expectation at all, and the ginger-haired young man was a little disappointed and "scribbled" something in his notebook.

Kicked out of an orphanage once an adult, a person with little education and physical problems that day is very unlikely to be able to find a job and successfully support himself.

No wonder the tragic future, in which death can be seen in both eyes, is called a tragedy by the gatekeeper.

Atsushi Nakajima, feeling a little uncomfortable with the current quiet atmosphere, bit his nails, forced a smile and changed the subject to: "So how long have you been working here, sir?"

The old janitor, who was suddenly interrupted, turned his head to look at Atsushi Nakajima. His eyes, which were cloudy due to his age, seemed somewhat "clear and bright" at this moment. Atsushi Nakajima's shy look His mind gradually overlapped with another figure.

Maybe it's empathy, maybe it's something else...

The old janitor’s eyes became more and more kind, but before Atsushi Nakajima realized this, he turned his head and looked at a building in the orphanage not far away, and replied after a soft snort: “I came here three years ago after I retired. Here, after all, there is nothing to do when you are old, and looking at these young children here every day can be a little comforting."

After hearing this, Atsushi Nakajima thought—since the future of those children is a tragedy in the eyes of the old man who opened the door, why did he say that seeing these young children can be comforted?

This kind of contradictory discourse is really very strange.

But at this time, Atsushi Nakajima saw a middle-aged woman in stereotyped clothes coming out of the building in the middle with "da da da" steps, and guessed that this is probably the old janitor who contacted by phone He knew that there was no more time for himself to ask questions.

"When I was working, I was able to get a second-class individual merit medal issued by the police station. After retirement, I was able to come to the orphanage to apply for a job just to see the smiles of the children..."

Atsushi Nakajima took the old janitor's hand, and showed him a cute smile with perfect sweetness, "I really admire your ability and personality, so can I contact you in the future?" Then he handed Taking out his mobile phone, he looked at the past with a look of expectation: "If possible, I hope to hear you tell me your previous story."

"please!!!"

After discovering that the old janitor had a good attitude towards him, he decisively acted like a baby to the old man, and asked the other party for his phone number with a kind of intimacy unique to "grandchildren".

Regarding Nakajima Atsushi's series of operations, Kunikida Doppo, who has been with him for a long time, was stunned after seeing this scene, let alone the hard-faced and soft-hearted janitor?

So he sighed and tore a piece of paper from the inside of the notebook on his desk, quickly wrote a series of numbers and handed the paper to Atsushi Nakajima.

"I really can't do anything about you. You're such a grown-up and you still act like a baby every day."

Although the old man made complaints like this, judging from his smiling eyes, his close attitude towards Atsushi Nakajima is still very useful.

Afterwards, he said with a natural expression: "Although I stay here to watch the door every day, I still have a lot of free time. If you really want to chat with me, an old guy, I welcome you at any time come over."
