Son, who do you think wants to harm us? We never have grudges with others. Didn't you see that the fire just burned me? If I hadn't been in a hurry to urinate and wanted to go to the toilet, your mother might have died now. "Mother Zhong looked back at the still burning tent and said with a horrified expression.
Father Zhong went crazy and wanted to rush into the burning tent, but was stopped by the soldiers who were rescuing people. "Don't stop me. Please help put out the fire. There are all our family's belongings in that tent. We have gasoline, but if it’s all gone, how can we go on our way!”
"Don't you smell it? This fire is burning your gasoline. You can't get it out even if you rush in now!" One of the soldiers looked at Father Zhong with some pity.
"No, it's impossible." Zhong's father roared with cracked teeth. The gasoline was saved by the family working day and night and frugally, including the gasoline that Zhong Minglou used in the summer. All the gold jewelry he coaxed out of his hands was used to buy the gasoline.
"Isn't that just an oil drum filled with oil? If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look." The soldier on duty said, pointing to an empty oil drum rolling around.
At this time, many soldiers have arrived. They have dug a shallow ditch to form an isolation zone around the fire point. All the fire sources that can be extinguished with soil have been extinguished. Well, the weather is sunny today, there is nothing wrong with it. Wind, the fire point is not very wide. As long as the gasoline is burned out, the fire will naturally be extinguished.
"Little comrade, someone must have set this fire deliberately. We originally thought that following the army, no one would dare to do such illegal and criminal things. Unexpectedly, this murderer did not take your army seriously at all. Comrade, you must Find the murderer, let him compensate us for our losses, and then arrest him. Otherwise, everyone will be in danger from now on, unable to rest at night, and how can we travel during the day?" Mother Zhong was a little suspicious at this time that the fire was Xia Kai's. Or maybe he sent someone to release it, feeling both angry and scared.
"Have you ever offended anyone, or have you had any disputes with anyone recently?" Although there were no casualties, arson was not a trivial matter. Wen Qingming mentioned the report and sent his officers over.
"Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law's brother Xia Kai may have some misunderstanding about us. He just had a quarrel with us today and took his sister away." Mother Zhong said immediately.
Zhong Yingying watched as the officer responsible for investigating the matter sent people to Rong Xianxian's camp.
The movement outside had long since awakened Rong Xianxian. She frowned and looked at Xuanxuan who was sitting up sleepily. Xuanxuan rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Mom, is it dawn yet? I'm still so sleepy. It’s so noisy outside!”
Rong Xianxian went to the cabinet next to the bed and took a pair of earplugs and handed them to Xuanxuan, "It's not yet dawn. Something might have happened outside. It has nothing to do with us. You can sleep a little longer!"
Rong Xianxian had already seen someone waiting outside her tent, so she comforted the child, put on her coat, and left the tent.
"Sister Rong, it was Xia Kai's brother-in-law's tent that caught fire. There were no casualties. Someone from the army came to investigate the situation. Xia Kai and I went with them to have a look. You don't have to worry." Cui Lie briefly explained the situation. .
"Okay, I get it!" Although she didn't know the cause of the fire over there, she intuitively felt no danger signs, so Rong Xianxian didn't care.
After Cui Lie left, Rong Xianxian looked at the fire over there and saw that the fire over there was under control. Don't turn around and go back to the tent.
The two children were still resting in the tent, and Rong Xianxian was not going anywhere.
But as soon as she stepped into the tent, she broke out in a cold sweat. A tall figure was sitting on the chair next to Xuanxuan's bed. Rong Xianxian immediately activated the soul-suppressing bell, sending a silent sound wave towards that person.
The man just turned his head and smiled at Rong Xianxian. Under the calm moonlight, his exquisite and perfect face was even more beautiful. The sound waves invaded his mind, and he saw a moment of confusion on his face, and then he was sober again. Come over.
At this time, Rong Xianxian had already recognized that the person was Ning Qingyun. Her heart that had been in her throat just now calmed down, resumed beating, and did not launch another attack.
Rong Xianxian was a little depressed. Her five senses and six senses were sharp and alert, but Ning Qingyun could quietly enter her safe range every time.
Ning Qingyun watched Rong Xianxian walking towards him with light steps. When he was about to get up, Rong Xianxian held down his shoulder with one hand and stepped on one of her feet. Then she crushed Rong Xianxian hard. Xianxian looked at Ning Qingyun's clenched hands and frowned brows, "Does it hurt?" Rong Xianxian asked softly in his ear.
Ning Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her helplessly, and nodded cooperatively.
"I asked you to sneak in. You scared me just now." If Ning Qingyun hadn't been too close to Xuanxuan just now, and Rong Xianxian was afraid of alerting the visitor and threatening the child's safety, she might not have just activated the Soul-Calming Bell.
"I'm sorry, I saw you were talking to your team members. I didn't want to disturb you so I came in quietly." Ning Qingyun felt quite uncomfortable when he said this. The tacit understanding between Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie made him unable to ignore it.
"Isn't your team helping to guard the camp tonight? Why did you come to me?" Rong Xianxian asked in confusion.
"Huo Ye just told me that the brother who assisted in patrolling the camp saw the murderer who set the fire over there. It was the child of that family. He heard the host said that he had a dispute with Xia Kai before, so he passed the news back and asked him to Don't worry, he will come out to testify when needed." Huo Ye originally planned to send someone to tell Rong Xianxian, but he didn't know that Ning Qingyun insisted on coming by himself.
Rong Xianxian felt a little embarrassed and pulled her foot away from Ning Qingyun's instep, coughed, and said, "I understand, thank you."
Fire scene.
After Cui Lie and Xia Kai arrived, Zhong Mu hid behind Zhong Minglou and looked at them with some fear.
"How is the investigation of the scene going?" the officer in charge asked the scout responsible for detecting the scene.
"The fire burned away all traces of the scene, and it is impossible to judge the overall crime process. However, an incomplete fingerprint was found on the empty oil drum. The murderer's hands may have been stained with gasoline." In this case, , there is no monitoring equipment, and there is no way to extract fingerprints, and because a fire burned the surrounding area to a piece of scorched earth, plus the isolation zone that was dug out to put out the fire and prevent the fire from spreading, the crime scene was basically completely destroyed. Yeah, there's no way to find out.
After listening to the scout's report, the officer in charge turned to look at Cui Lie and Xia Kai with a headache.
