The song "Scarborough Fair" could not be heard for the time being. Although Jared felt itchy, he could only put it down for the time being.

Later, Li Fan told the story of meeting Eduardo in the concert hall.

Jared smiled and said, "Is Mr. Li Fan interested in the detective novel activity festival the day after tomorrow?"

Li Fan also smiled and said: "I went to a few places in Langdun City today, and I have become interested."

"Oh?" Jared felt a little strange. He had told Li Fan before about the detective novel festival the day after tomorrow, but Li Fan was not very interested at that time. Why is he suddenly so interested now?

So he asked: "Where did Mr. Li Fan go? And why did he become interested in the Detective Fiction Festival after going to those places?"

Li Fandao: "Mainly I went to a street called Baker Street, and then suddenly I had some idea."

"Baker Street?" Jared nodded, "That street is indeed a bit special."

"Oh?" Li Fan was slightly surprised and said, "Why did Mr. Jared say that that street is special?"

When they heard the two talking about Shell Street, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, and Tang Ying also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Jared smiled and said: "Although that street is not long and it is also in the old city, the residential apartments on both sides of the street are still good. But the strange thing is that the people living there have moved away one after another, and , no new residents moved in, and the government ignored it, as if the street had been forgotten.”

Li Fan nodded and said: "It is indeed quite strange, but that street is not uninhabited. It has only one resident."

Jared said: "So, Mr. Li Fan should have met Mr. Alves on Baker Street. Indeed, there is only one resident on Baker Street. This is why I say Baker Street is a bit special. .”

Li Fan said: "I did see an old man on Shell Street, but I don't know his name. But I think it was Mr. Jared who mentioned Alves."

Jared nodded and said: "An old man, he must be. He should live at No. 221b Baker Street."

Li Fandao: "There is no house number on that street, but I asked the old man and it is indeed No. 221b. It seems that Mr. Jared should know him."

Jared said with emotion: "We do know each other,

He is a very kind, yet somewhat stubborn person. I guess when you saw him today, he was working with scraps. "

Li Fan wondered: "That's true. He was about to take a bag of scraps to sell. But, how did Mr. Jared know?"

Jared said: "That stubborn old man rarely leaves the apartment where he lives, except when he goes out to collect scraps, sell scraps and send money."

"Remittance?" Li Fan was confused again and said, "He often goes out to remit money? Why does he, an old man living alone, often go out to remit money?"

Jared sighed again and said, "When you see him selling scraps for a living, do you think he has no source of income and can only make money by selling scraps?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "Isn't it so?"

Jared said: "That's not true. In fact, he gets a pension of 5,000 rand every month."

"A pension of 5,000 Rand pounds?" Li Fan was even more surprised. 5,000 Rand pounds was not a small amount of money.

You must know that the monthly salary of an ordinary white-collar worker in Langdon City is about 3,000 Rand, and the salary of an ordinary office worker is only between a few hundred Rand and 2,000 Rand.

The old man named Alves' monthly pension is as high as 5,000 rands, which is really surprising.

Jared said: "Mr. Li Fan is very surprised, right? In fact, I am also very surprised, but considering his identity, it is normal."

Li Fan's heart moved. When he saw the old man during the day, he felt that the old man didn't seem like an ordinary person.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case, what kind of identity the old man must have.

Sure enough, Jared continued: "Before Mr. Alves retired, he was the most famous professor in the Department of Biology at Langdon University. He was also a very famous biologist in our country and an academician of the Academy of Sciences. His pension was It is paid by Langdon University. As for why it is so high? I think it is because Mr. Alves has made a great contribution to the development of biology at Langdon University."

"I see." Li Fan nodded and said, "The old man's identity is indeed not simple. He can be said to be a national treasure."

Jared sighed: "They are indeed national treasures, but it's a pity that they once made great contributions to the country, but when they grow old, they are just an unknown old man, and their popularity is not even as good as that of an ordinary fifth- or sixth-tier star. Fortunately, Langdon University and the country have not forgotten him.”

Li Fan also sighed. This phenomenon is indeed very helpless. Many scientists who have made many sacrifices and contributions to the country are not as well-known as even an ordinary little star.

On the Internet, news about the death of a great national scientist has very few comments, while news about a celebrity cheating on his wife, or news about which celebrity is in love with another celebrity, has tens of thousands, as many as hundreds of thousands, or even More, it attracted heated discussions among countless netizens.

This phenomenon is true in Lanzhou, China, and perhaps other countries in the world. This phenomenon is indeed helpless.

After sighing, Li Fan added: "Mr. Jared just said that Mr. Alves often goes to remit money. Could it be..."

Jared Point

The leader said: "Mr. Li Fan's guess was not wrong. Mr. Alves anonymously donated every penny of his monthly pension, and his main donation target was those in need of help. poor children. By chance, I met Mr. Alves and learned about his anonymous remittances every month. Then he asked me not to publicize this matter. What a kind man. Another stubborn old man.”

Li Fan nodded. He had already guessed it just now, and he couldn't help but feel sincere respect in his heart.

Then he smiled and said: "In the eyes of others, Mr. Alves's approach may be very stupid, but for Mr. Alves himself, he feels very happy. I met him today." When he arrives, you can feel that the old man is living a happy life.”

Jared said: "Maybe so, but he once told me that he hopes to help more people in need, and 5,000 pounds per month is still too little. However, he is already old. , there is no way to earn more money. The money he earns from collecting waste can only allow him to live alone. When he talked about this, I could feel the unwillingness and regret in his heart."

"Where is his family? Does he have no children?" Qin Yulin said suddenly.

Jared shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. I asked him before, but he just smiled and didn't say anything. However, I guess he has children, but that stubborn old man likes one person." Living alone in Baker Street.”

"Okay." Qin Yulin said.

"Oh, right." Jared seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Mr. Alves seems to be very interested in detective novels and is a fan of detective novels. God knows if he is the oldest detective novelist in our country. Fan? Also, he is already in his seventies and does not need to wear glasses when reading newspapers and magazines. This is definitely a miracle. "

"Like detective novels?" Li Fan was slightly surprised again. He was indeed a different old man.

Then he said: "Since he likes detective novels, he shouldn't be going to participate in the detective novel festival the day after tomorrow, right?"

Jared said: "Who knows, but it is indeed a possibility."

Li Fan nodded, thoughtfully.
