I couldn't hear the song "Scarborough Fair" for the time being, and Jared could only let it go for the time being despite his irritation.

Later, Li Fan will be in the concert hall again, and talk about Evador.

Jared smiled and said: "Mr. Li Fan is now interested in the acquired, detective novel festival?"

Li Fan also smiled and said, "I have been interested in several places in Langdun City today."

"Oh?" Jared was a little strange. He also told Li Fan before about the Detective Novel Festival the day after tomorrow, but Li Fan at that time was not very interested. Why is he suddenly so interested now?

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

Li Fan said: "It was mainly because 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 does Mr. Jared say that the street is special?"

When the two talked to Shell Street, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, and Tang Ying also pricked their ears and listened carefully.

Jared laughed and said, "Although that street is not long, it is in the old town, but the residential apartments on both sides of the street are still good. But the strange thing is that the people who live there have moved out one after another, and , No new residents moved in, and the government didn’t care about 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 seen Mr. Alves on Baker Street. Indeed, there is the only resident on Baker Street. This is why I said Baker Street is a bit special. s reason."

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

Jared nodded and said, "An old man, that should be it. He should be living at 221b Baker Street."

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

Jared said with emotion: "I do know him, he is a very kind, but somewhat stubborn person. I guess when you see him today, he should be dealing with scraps."

Li Fan doubted: "It is true. He is about to sell a bag of waste products. But how did Mr. Jared know?"

Jared said: "The stubborn old man rarely walks out of the apartment where he lives except for collecting waste, selling waste and remittances."

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

Jared sighed again and said, "You see him selling waste products for a living. Do you think he has no financial resources and can only make money by selling waste products?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "Isn't that the case?"

Jared said: "It's really not the case. In fact, he can get a pension of 5000 pounds every month."

"A pension of 5000 Lan pounds?" Li Fan was even more surprised, 5000 Lan pounds is not a small amount of money.

You know, the average white-collar worker in Langdun City earns around 3,000 pounds a month, while the average salary of office workers is only between a few hundred pounds and 2,000 pounds.

That old man named Alves, the monthly pension is as high as 5000 pounds, which is indeed very surprising.

Jared said: "Mr. Li Fan was surprised, right? I was actually surprised too, but thinking of his identity, it's normal."

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

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

Sure enough, Jared continued to say: "Before Mr. Alves retired, he was the most famous professor in the Department of Biology of Longdon University, and also a very famous biologist and a member of the Academy of Sciences in my country. His pension was It is paid by the University of Longdon. 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 the University of Longdon."

"So that's it." Li Fan nodded and said: "The identity of the old man is really not simple. It can be said that he is a national treasure."

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

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

On the Internet, the news about the death of a great national scientist has very few comments, while the news about a celebrity cheating, or the news about which star is in love with which star, has comments ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Even more, attracted countless netizens to talk about it.

This phenomenon is true in China, as well as in China, and perhaps also in other countries in the world. This phenomenon is really helpless.

After sighing, Li Fan said again: "Mr. Jared just said that Mr. Alves often remits money. Could it be..."

Jared nodded and said: "Mr. Li Fan guessed right. Mr. Alves donated a lot of his monthly pension funds anonymously, and his main donation target is Those poor children who need help. I met Mr. Alves by chance, and learned that he would send money anonymously every month, and then he asked me not to publicize this matter. . What a kind and stubborn old man."

Li Fan nodded, he had already guessed it just now, and his heart could not help but a kind of respect.

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, he can feel that the old man is living very happily."

Jared said: "Perhaps it is, but he once told me that he hopes to help more people in need, and 5000 pounds a month is still too little. It's just that he has already reached his age. He has no way to earn more money. The money he earns from collecting waste can only live on his own. When he talks about this, I can 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. I have asked him before, but he just smiled and didn't say. However, I guess he should have children. It's just that stubborn old man who likes someone. Living alone on Baker Street."

"Okay." Qin Yulin said.

"Oh, yes." Jared seemed to remember something suddenly, and said: "Mr. Alves seems to be very interested in detective novels, he is a detective novel fan. God knows if he is the oldest detective novel in our country. Fan? Also, he is already in his seventies, reading newspapers and magazines and so on, without wearing glasses, this is definitely a miracle."

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

Then he said: "Since he likes detective novels, should he participate in the Detective Novel Festival the day after tomorrow?"

Jared said, "Who knows, but it is possible."

Li Fan nodded thoughtfully.
