Looking at the old police officer in front of him, Cao Mingliang glanced at his uniform.
Looking at the epaulettes, cuffs, and collar flowers, Cao Mingliang knew that he was an auxiliary police officer.
"You want something from me?" Cao Mingliang's eyelids twitched slightly as he looked at the old police officer's face, which was burned by fire and looked like earthworms crawling on it. "I don't care about trivial matters."
Old police officer: "Thirty-one lives, is it a small matter?"
Cao Mingliang asked: "Why are you looking for me?"
The old police officer was silent for a moment and said, "Captain Lei told me that you are a trustworthy person."
Cao Mingliang stepped aside to open the door, "Come in."
The old police officer stumbled in, and it was then that Cao Mingliang discovered that there was something wrong with one of his legs and one of his arms.
Generally speaking, people with physical problems cannot be auxiliary police officers.
"I'm sorry, I'm a cripple. To be honest, I can only afford this meal with the help of Team Lei."
The old police officer said, taking out a USB flash drive and handing it to Cao Mingliang, "There are several videos in it related to the fire at the Xiangli Hotel in Mingyue City ten years ago."
Cao Mingliang did not pick up the USB flash drive, but first asked: "Why are you thinking of taking this thing out now?"
The old police officer was silent again. He seemed to have recalled some bad memories.
He stood like this for a full minute before he came back to his senses and said, "Captain Cao, if I had taken this thing out a month earlier, not only would it have been destroyed, but I would not have lost an arm or a leg. "
Cao Mingliang asked: "What happened in this month?"
The old police officer stared into Cao Mingliang's eyes and said, "We can't go into details about this. Captain Cao, why did you come to Cang'er in the first place?"
Cao Mingliang's eyes showed enlightenment.
In the past month, the biggest thing that happened in Cang'er was that several people died.
One of them was a local adjutant in Mingyue City ten years ago, and later became a chief officer in Cang'er, and later retired.
In the last month, this man died.
Bai Chang, the fourth light that illuminates Yang Ning's path.
Cao Mingliang will always remember that rainy night in front of Chongwen Temple. Bai Chang, whose heart was dug out, was lying on the side. A group of police officers surrounded him, but Yang Ning still left easily.
He even had a cordial exchange with himself before leaving.
Thinking about the previous scene, Cao Mingliang focused his eyes on the fire-burned face of the old police officer in front of him, and said, "I made a mistake last month."
"In the heat of the moment, I killed a damn, incapacitated man."
"That was not a critical mistake for us as an organization."
"But it brought me very serious consequences. I regretted it for several days afterwards. I felt that I could no longer be impulsive."
Listening to Cao Mingliang's words, the old police officer's eyes gradually dimmed.
However, Cao Mingliang continued: "But today, when you came to me, I felt the impulse I had before, and it was not without gain."
"At least, people like Captain Lei think I'm of some use."
"So, just now, I suddenly asked myself, Cao Mingliang, are you still you if you are not impulsive, stupid, and aggressive?"
With that said, Cao Mingliang reached out and took the USB flash drive from the old police officer's hand, "That's obviously not the case."
"Thank you, thank you Captain Cao!"
"You're welcome, what do you call me?"
"My name is Peng Yong."
"There are chairs over there, bring them here. I have a computer here."
"good."
...
The USB flash drive contains several surveillance videos, taken by surveillance cameras ten years ago.
Several of them were secretly filmed in hotel rooms.
The shooting quality is very average.
But you can probably see clearly what the people inside are doing.
In a suite, dozens of people were communicating in depth.
Because there were more boys than girls, a dozen more girls were called.
During the exchange, a man seemed to have a conflict with two girls and started fighting.
The girl picked up her cell phone to call someone, but the man picked up a wine bottle and smashed it over the girl's head.
Afterwards, the girl fell to the ground and the scene was chaotic.
Cao Mingliang recognized this man at a glance because he had just watched this man's interview video.
It's Lorraine.
Peng Yong, who was standing next to him, said: "This video was filmed secretly in the hotel room by a manager with a special quirk."
"The people in the video are the people from the Tianxiang Santa Group who came to Xia Kingdom when the two countries' medical expo was held in Mingyue City ten years ago."
"These girls are local, ahem, local girls who have made some ideological mistakes."
The first video ended and Cao Mingliang opened the second video.
This time it was a surveillance video from the hallway, and the quality was much better.
The time of the surveillance video was around 11 o'clock the next night, and everyone in the Santa Group looked very panicked.
They dumped bulk gasoline in hotel corridors and on other room doors!
An old man wearing a red monk's robe, holding a stack of talisman papers, affixed one on the door of each room.
The third video was from the room where they had an in-depth communication yesterday. Lorraine led several men and almost covered the entire room with gasoline.
There was another girl lying motionless in the middle of the room. She was the one who was knocked down by Lorraine with a wine bottle yesterday.
The fourth video shows the night shift manager of the hotel discovering an abnormality and leading the security guards to check. As a result, the two of them were ambushed by a dozen men who rushed up to knock them unconscious and dragged them into a room filled with gasoline.
In the fifth video, in the front section of the corridor, someone is hiding in the fire escape, stretching out a hand and throwing the burning cloth to the ground, and flames instantly burst out.
Almost every hotel room door with a talisman posted on it would "bang" into an even more violent tongue of flames as soon as it encountered the flames, leaping straight to the roof!
The sixth video, the screen is filled with fire!
Guests in other rooms on the same floor scrambled to escape, but the entire floor was blocked by flames.
A woman ran out of the smoke-filled room with her child in her arms, trying to break through the sea of fire in the corridor.
However, she tried it and was burned by the flames!
Can only go back.
At the same time, a fire broke out in the room behind him.
Seeing the flames igniting from all directions and constantly surrounding her, this young-looking mother hugged her child and cried loudly: "Wu Di! Mom, I can't help you!"
"Mom killed you!"
"Mom shouldn't have bought you here, shouldn't have brought you to stay in this hotel!"
"God, please! Let me die and let my son live!"
"No, no, this is not my son. God, I am guilty! I should not buy other people's children! Let me die and don't involve this strange child!"
The child hid in the woman's arms and cried loudly.
But the sea of fire that was spreading rapidly would not stop for a moment because of the cry.
The young mother and son watched helplessly as the flames surged from all directions and burned them to death.
A woman will protect the child in her arms until she dies.
In the seventh video, a man wrapped in a wet mattress rushed through the sea of fire and rushed to the fire escape, but he desperately found that the fire escape had been blocked in advance.
Eventually, the flames consumed him too.
All videos end here.
