The Elf Guide is in my heart

Chapter 22 The inside story of the fire

"Oh? Lao Te!"

"Yo! Lao Zuo!"

Boss Zuo also noticed the visitor immediately. Two middle-aged men as strong as cattle greeted each other from a long distance away.

"Who is this?" Ning asked in a low voice to Lan beside him.

"Oh, he is Uncle Te. He has known his father since he was a child. He is his best friend. He was in the same class in middle school, high school and even university."

"Yeah." Ning nodded, but he also noticed the key point.

"Your father and this police officer were in the same class at university?" Ning originally thought that Boss Zuo graduated from Pokémon cooking. Could it be possible? Changed career?

"Yes, they are all professionals in Pokémon City Security." Lan didn't know why Ning asked like this.

"Then this special officer..."

"It's a police officer from the Gaoqi City City Security Police Station." Lan replied simply.

"Just a policeman?" Ning asked immediately.

What a joke, with a level 62 Wind Speed ​​Dog, would such a person be an ordinary policeman? How blind do the top security police officers have to be? Didn’t you see that Ning kept calling the latter police officer?

"Okay, but don't keep it public. Uncle Te is the director of the Ninth Branch of Gaoqi City City Security Police." Lan watched Ning insist and said cautiously, for fear that others would hear.

Lan's behavior does not mean that the identity of the special police officer is a secret, but that he is a low-key person and does not like others to make public.

"Ninth Branch? Director!?" Ning was stunned when he heard this.

As a large city with a population of tens of millions, Gaoqi City cannot only have one security police station.

Such a city will often set up a branch within a certain range.

Among the many branches, this ninth branch is the most special and important one.

Because the number nine itself carries important connotations.

The Ninth Precinct is a facility that houses special temporary prisoners and handles acute incidents.

His position as director of the Ninth Branch is even more important. Ning had to look at the special officer again.

"Long time no see, you finally remembered to come to my place to eat and drink?" After Boss Zuo handed over the work in his hands to his relieved clerk, he hurried over to greet me.

"Yeah, I've been very busy recently. If there hadn't been a big case in Gaoqi City, I would have been transferred back urgently. It will take a while for you and me to meet each other." The special police officer shrugged.

Although his words sounded helpless, his expression was unusually relaxed.

It seems that for him, being burdened with heavy cases is not something that worries him.

Looking at his friend who had withdrawn from his busy schedule, Boss Zuo also said excitedly: "I always have wine ready, but do you have any stories?"

"Of course!" The special officer also nodded.

"Wine? Story? What story?" Ning looked at the mysterious two people. He didn't quite understand this conversation.

In fact, it is normal for Ning not to understand. This is a special code word between Zuo and Te.

The translation is, "Are there any major cases that you can share recently? Tell me about it."

Originally, the police station had strict regulations not to disclose the case to outsiders.

But Boss Zuo is an expert in the industry and knows the rules, and the special police officer himself will not tell the high-level secrets in the office, and of course Boss Zuo will not listen.

What Zuo wanted to know was nothing more than some bizarre, bizarre, and story-telling cases that could be shared.

He has been away from his past life for too long. To be honest, he still misses his past life and hears about what happened in that circle.

The media reports are ultimately different from the truth of the matter.

Being able to get information from the police is more real and exciting.

"Let's go to the old place, let's have a simple meal!" Boss Zuo immediately suggested.

"That's the best. I've missed your craftsmanship for a long time!" The special officer also smiled naturally. It was obvious that Boss Zuo's cooking was deeply impressed by him.

What Ning didn't expect was that this so-called "old place" was the back room where Ning himself visited twice.

What made Ning even more unexpected was that Ning was also invited to the dinner table by Boss Zuo, and ate with Boss Zuo, Lan, and the special police officer.

Ning originally wanted to refuse, after all, he was an outsider.

But thinking about it on the other hand, if you don't listen to the secrets in the police station, it will be in vain. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He's had enough of the news editor's shoddy fabrication.

As for the special police officer, since his friend insists, he won't care about one more person.

Boss Zuo prepared some exquisite side dishes and tea, and they ate together.

Unfortunately, because the special police officer was on official duty in the afternoon, he could not drink alcohol, which made Boss Zuo sigh.

However, the special officer did not feel regretful. He quietly looked at the sumptuous food on the table.

He felt a sincere sigh in his heart, how comfortable and happy it would be to live such a life in which he could enjoy the dishes prepared by his close friends in his spare time.

The special officer took a few bites of the fried noodles in front of him, and they still tasted as delicious as he remembered.

What's more important is that your friends know your own taste, and they always have the right taste for salty or light food.

After taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, the special officer felt that the time was almost up, so he said, "There was a fire in Gaoqi City yesterday. Do you know?"

"Fire?"

"Fire?"

Boss Zuo and Ning asked in unison.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

A man is exhausted from climbing mountains.

The other person missed several hours of work because he sent the previous person to climb the mountain, so he worked overtime until very late.

Ever since, both of them missed yesterday's news.

"I know, it's all on the headlines!" It was Lan who spoke. In the situation yesterday, only Lan could have checked her phone at night.

"Xiaolan, since you know, you might as well give a brief description!" The special police officer also took care of Zuo and Ning, who didn't know the news.

Under Lan's brief introduction, Ning and Boss Zuo learned that at about 10 o'clock last night, a huge fire broke out in a luxury apartment located in the bustling urban area of ​​Gaoqi City. The entire fire burned this extremely expensive building to the ground. ash.

According to the police investigation, the cause of the fire has been found to be a katy dog.

"Kadi Dog?" Ning was suspicious. A docile and kind Pokémon like Kati Dog could be an arsonist?

"The most critical thing here is that the fire did not cause any casualties." The special police officer pointed out the key point.

"There were no casualties?" Ning was even more puzzled when he heard this. The fire happened at night. How could there be no casualties? He didn't believe that no one was sleeping? Simply baffling.

Even at the same time, Boss Zuo, who was a policeman, lowered his head in thought.

"Because that night, all residents of this building were invited to the apartment garden to participate in an outdoor banquet." Lan explained.

Lan continued to tell that on the night of the incident, a businessman named "Jin" who was also a resident held a banquet in the garden of his apartment.

Businessman Jin is a shareholder of a real estate company, and this high-end apartment is its property.

In order to thank the tenants for taking care of their business. Last night, he hired a global touring band at a high price, and even invited top chefs from five-star hotels and high-end restaurants to hold a luxurious garden party.

Participants are limited to residents of this apartment building, and everything else is free except for bringing your own dress.

Since the residents who can live in such high-end apartments are all celebrities, they will all attend such high-end banquets without exception.

Therefore, it was strange that there were no casualties in such a big fire.

The media even photographed one of the strangest residents, facing the raging fire, sipping the champagne in his hand while looking at the fire, as if it was not his own house that was burning. Enjoying a different kind of "beautiful scenery".

The man told the media that for him, there are more than ten such properties in Gaoqi City alone. One more or one less does not matter.

Of course, the crux of the matter is not here, but the owner of this Kati dog, who is the gold merchant.

"Could it be that this businessman is behind the scenes?" Ning said softly.

"Yes, it's this businessman!" Lan's tone was a little excited.

According to the analysis of professional news analysts, although the real estate company where this gold businessman works is one of the leading companies in the industry, there are deep internal contradictions within it.

The biggest one is the differences between shareholders regarding profit dividends and business philosophy, which are particularly prominent.

The relationship between Jin and other shareholders of the company is extremely bad. According to relevant sources, the relationship between several people has long been incompatible.

Moreover, Jin himself owns several residences in this high-end apartment building, and has purchased a large amount of accident insurance for the properties. He has purchased almost all the insurances that he can theoretically purchase.

These two key reasons made him the biggest suspect.

The media and police agreed.

Jin set fire to his company's property, and his purpose should be to retaliate against other shareholders.

The purpose of purchasing a large amount of accident insurance is to stop losses and make a comeback.

As the owner of Kati, Jin was detained and arrested on the night of the incident.

However, what surprised all parties was that this businessman named Jin still insisted that he was not guilty even in such an unfavorable situation.

That night, he said his dog was not with him at all. Moreover, if you buy a large amount of insurance, you are afraid of revenge from your enemies and burning your property. It is not for the so-called stop loss at all.

"Lan, what do you think?" the special officer asked.

With an angry look on her face, Lan looked at the Kati dog in her arms and said angrily: "It goes without saying that this businessman must have done it, Kati dog? How could he do such a thing?" She touched it gently. Stroking the dog's hair, this time she imitated Ning's technique. Kadi dog was barely comfortable.

The meow sitting on top of Boss Zuo's head was staring closely at the dead dog enjoying itself in Lan's arms. It felt that its position in Lan's heart was being replaced.

Ning didn't speak, he just thought in his heart. He already understood the development of the entire incident, and the incident itself was not difficult to understand.

But what he didn't understand was that since the gold businessman wanted to take revenge and minimize his losses, why not use a better method.

Because Ning believed that the plan used by this gold businessman was full of loopholes, some news editors were the first to decipher the truth of the matter before the police. It is not difficult to see how weak this plan is.

Even if we maintain the status quo and do nothing, it is still better than executing such a plan.

After all, he is also a strong man in the business world. He has achieved the position of shareholder of a leading company. How can he be so careless in doing things? Even in Ning's opinion, it's almost like seeking death.

Ning Conglan took a look at Merchant Jin's personal information on her phone, as well as the video of the interview at the banquet that night.

Although it was a private banquet, several media outlets were still qualified to interview, otherwise the fire report would not have been so quick.

After all, reporters were covering the fire live.

The gold businessman in the video is about fifty years old, slightly fat, with a kind face and a Mediterranean face. He gives the impression that he is the image of a standard wealthy businessman in ordinary people's minds.

He talked endlessly about his company's future development concepts on the video screen, and his expression was full of longing and expectations for the future.

What's more important is that in the past, he presented an optimistic and confident image to the public.

Would a confident and optimistic person who is full of expectations for the outside world be able to do such a stupid thing? Ning thinks this alone is very problematic.

What? Is his image just an act? Is it a mask of hypocrisy?

That's even more impossible. Since Merchant Jin has such a powerful city, he will not do such a dangerous thing.

Ning's brows furrowed. He felt as if he had ignored the most important information.

He turned his head and glanced at the giant needle bee and the caddis playing with each other on the side. The place filled with debris became a paradise for the two, and they were very happy.

"Carty dog? Carty dog?" Ning murmured in a low voice.

"What, classmate Ning, do you have any opinion?" It was Boss Zuo who spoke.

"If Ning has any opinion, you might as well tell him." The special police officer also encouraged him. Being so close to Kati Dog made him feel good about this student.

Ning looked at the two people who were encouraging him and slowly opened his mouth, but his words were shocking.

"Perhaps the problem is really the Katy dog!"

After saying that, the expressions of the three people on the table were also different.
