Chapter 208 Investigating the Arsonist (Part [-])

Mei Wenhua listened to the speeches of the neighbors, and it seemed that they were not the ones who started the fire.

Sister Mei Lan came to Mei Wenhua and whispered in his ear, "Brother, do you know who released it?"

"I don't know either!" Mei Wenhua shook his head.

"I don't believe it. I feel like you know. Just tell me quietly!" The younger sister didn't give up. She always felt that her brother knew something.

However, my brother seemed to have come out with me, and he probably didn’t see the person who set the fire.

How strange!

How could I think that my brother knew who set the fire? My sister Mei Lan fell into deep thought.

But soon he stopped worrying. Officer Lu had already arrived at the courtyard.

Officer Lu, Director Wang and others discussed it and began to question the people in the yard.

"Comrade Mei, your family is here first. Can you tell me what you did this morning?" Officer Lu asked Mei's mother and her family to speak first.

"In the morning, Lan'er and I got up earlier. The two of us were making buns in the kitchen. When we heard the shout of a man outside, saying that there was a fire in the yard and the fire needed to be put out, I packed a bucket of water and carried it out. ”

"For me, I also found our bucket and carried water to help. My brother happened to get up, so we went out together and went directly to the uncle's house to help! I carried a total of 15 buckets of water to put out the fire, but It’s fun, no, I’m awesome!”

"Wow, Xiao Meilan, you are so awesome!" Officer Lu gave his sister a thumbs up.

"It's not very good, just average!" After being praised, my sister was very happy and looked at her Mei Wenhua proudly.

"My sister is so awesome. I didn't even carry so much water. The main reason is that I don't have a bucket."

Officer Lu: "..." You have the nerve to say this, but you just don't want to help!

"Okay, do you have any questions about what they said? Or does anyone think they are lying?"

"No, when the Mei family's wife came out, I had just come out, and we happened to meet!"

"There is no doubt that what they said is true. Even little Wenhua stood there and did not help. But for a child, we are not willing to let him help because we are worried that he will be burned!"

"Hahaha... Xiao Meilan is the most diligent. There is no other child to help. Xiao Meilan deserves praise!"

Neighbors of the courtyard said that Mei Wenhua and his family had no problem.

"Very good, your family's suspicions have been eliminated. Comrade Mei and Xiao Meilan can go home. Xiao Wenhua comes here to help me. I didn't do anything just now, but now it's time for you to do it!"

Mei Wenhua came to Officer Lu reluctantly. When he saw Officer Lu coming to the courtyard, he knew that he could not escape and would definitely be captured and used as a young man.

"Brother, come on, my mother and I will go back and make breakfast. After you finish interrogating, you can have breakfast!" My sister cheered for Mei Wenhua.

"Thank you sister! You go back first and do more. I will call Officer Lu and Director Wang to come to our house for breakfast later."

"There's no need for breakfast. I've eaten. Come over quickly to help. Everyone is still busy going to work! Try to find out as soon as possible so as not to delay everyone's going to work."

"Thank you, Xiao Wenhua, we have eaten too!" Director Wang also refused.

"Okay, let's continue the investigation! Whoever comes first, come early, go home early, and have breakfast so you can go to work."

"Our family comes first!"

"Our family is here first, we have to send our children to school!"

"Don't rush, our family will come first, we are ready!"

Seeing the neighbors huddled together, Director Wang came with his staff to maintain order.

"Everyone, don't crowd. Line up one family at a time. No one should grab it. As long as everyone actively cooperates, it won't waste too much time. If everyone continues like this, it will only waste more time!"

After interrogation one by one, everyone told each other and could prove each other.

An hour later, Qin Huairu's family was the only one left in the courtyard.

Mrs. Jia Zhang had been reluctant to come out, but Qin Huairu called her several times before finally calling her to come together.

"Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu, tell me what your family did in the morning?" Officer Lu asked, staring at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang.

"Comrade police, I haven't gone out this morning. I don't know anything. Just ask Qin Huairu!"

"Comrade policeman, I got up in the morning to fetch some water and make breakfast for my family. Then I was busy in the kitchen. When I heard the uncle shouting to put out the fire, I came out with a bucket to help!"

"Well! When did you come out to fetch water? Did you find that the first and second uncle's houses were on fire?"

"No, I came out early. There should be no problem in the yard. If there is a fire, I will definitely see the smoke!" Qin Huairu shook his head.

Officer Lu then asked a few more questions, ruling out the suspicion of Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's setting the fire.

Now everyone in the courtyard was asked, and they all had alibi.

Officer Lu had no choice but to ask Yi Zhonghai again, "Master, when you found out there was a fire in your house, did you go out immediately? Did you find anything?"

"We only discovered it when fire smoke entered the house. As soon as we found out that our house was on fire, I immediately went to the yard to find someone to help put out the fire. I didn't find anything else." The uncle shook his head.

He found his house on fire and called his aunt to put out the fire. One after another, he knocked on the door to ask for help.

"I didn't hear any noise before I discovered the fire. The person who set the fire was well prepared and left no clues!" The second uncle Yan Bugui said without waiting for Officer Lu to ask.

The investigation was now at a deadlock. There was no experience in putting out the fire at the scene, and no attention was paid to protecting the scene.

Officer Lu and Director Wang, look at me and I look at you. They don’t know what to do next.

How much time will it take to call everyone around and ask? At this critical moment, many people have already gone to work and are not at home at all.

"Little Wenhua, think of a solution quickly! If you don't come up with a solution, don't even think about going home for breakfast!"

"Officer Lu, there's nothing you can do, what can I do?" Mei Wenhua spread her hands and said.

"Then let's interrogate them again, one by one this time?" Director Wang suggested. He felt that Officer Lu would not be able to find out anything if he interrogated one by one like this, and his own people would definitely cover up their own people.

"This consumes too much time. Just the people in the yard will be interrogated until noon!" Officer Lu also knows that it is more accurate to talk about each person one by one. He just wants to be lazy. Now it seems It's no longer okay to be lazy.

"No need to go to such trouble. In fact, there are not many people who have gone out and come to the yard in the morning. There are less than ten people in total. Regardless of adults or children, it doesn't take much time to call these people over and ask them one by one!"

This is why Mei Wenhua did not stop Officer Lu from asking each family, so that people who had been out could be quickly screened out.

Those who have been away from home think that they have their own family members to help testify, so they will not hide it from the beginning.

"This method is reliable. You two call all the people who have gone out to gather together! Call adults and children over here!" Director Wang nodded and asked the staff to order people.

Ten people including Qin Huairu, Bang Geng, Jia Zhangshi, and Liu Guangfu were gathered together.
