Misty Forest [Criminal Investigation]

In the silent night, the village by the mountain was pitch black, and even the noisiest dogs slept in their dens. An inconspicuous spot on the edge of the village was like falling stars and sprinkled a little red light. The red light gathered more and more and became a patch Finally, the sky became full of flames, and the sound of crackling and crackling and barking of dogs finally broke the quiet village's late night.

The flames burned higher and higher like a freshly baked sharp knife piercing the dark sky. The thick smoke mixed with black and white ashes permeated the air, and the sleeping villagers were finally awakened one by one.

"The house is on fire!"

"It's on fire!"

"Fight the fire!"

……

The sound of messy footsteps, the knocking of buckets and wooden basins, and the creaking of the door opening and closing were mixed together, and it was impossible to distinguish where the sound was coming from, south, east, north, and west. For a while, every corner was filled with chaotic overtures.

The villagers who hastily put on their clothes and slippers chased me to the fire point at the west entrance of the village, following the burnt smell and flames. Everyone was blocked by the fire and stopped a few meters away from the fire site, dreaming like a dream.

"Find something to put out the fire, what are you doing in a daze?"

Someone in the crowd yelled, and everyone woke up like a dream, holding tools and running to the small river not far away, buckets of river water mixed with water plants and leaves were poured on the house in the fire, the flames were like giants that swallowed everything. Long drank all the water in one gulp, but there was no sign of malaise visible to the naked eye, but the fever was even hotter. The village chief who rushed to the crowd went to the front of the crowd and drove everyone back.

"Stand back, get out of the way, I've already called the fire alarm, everyone stay away and don't burn."

Ten minutes later, the red fire truck drove into the village with flashing lights and sirens, and the firefighters drove the surrounding villagers back a few meters.

"Stand back, this is a wooden house, be careful if it burns down and hits you."

The raging flames tightly wrapped the three village houses so that people could not approach them. The high-pressure water gun produced four or five water dragons. After several minutes of confrontation, the raging fire was finally extinguished. As the fire gradually extinguished, the burning beams The pillar gradually turned into pitch-black coke and fell down feebly.

Accompanied by the remnants of sparks, a team of firefighters walked into the fire scene, and within 2 minutes after entering, the team retreated as they were. One of the firefighters ran to the captain and whispered a few words, and then everyone was driven back One or two meters.

"Don't surround yourself. The house is burning too badly. It may collapse at any time. Back off."

"Back off!"

As if to confirm the words of the firefighters, the sound of wood falling to the ground and rolling came again from the dark and smoking house.

Someone in the crowd muttered: "The fire is so big, did the people in the house escape?"

This sentence is like a pot of cold water pouring over the head to wake up the people who have been repeatedly roasted by the high temperature of the fire. body.

"Mr. Sun, is your son at home today?"

"Ms. Sun, is the house you live in okay?"

The old man clasped his hands to his ears to hear everyone's questions, and waved his hands. Everyone was relieved, as long as no one was at home, the house can be built again if it is gone.

The continuous sound of police sirens pierced through the black screen from far to near and resounded through the sky, and a team of police cars parked all over the village road with flashing red lights.The villagers witnessed several doctors in white coats walking out of a car carrying several large boxes into the scene of the fire. The soles of their feet involuntarily took a few steps forward and were immediately stopped by policemen in police uniforms.

There were busy policemen everywhere, and a few policemen in plain clothes and with work IDs shuttled through the crowd, looking over and over again at everyone's faces.

Before the police could speak, there were already whispers among the crowd.

"It's just firefighting, why are the police here?"

"Did someone set the fire on purpose?"

The discussion became louder and louder, and a policeman interrupted everyone's discussion by raising his voice.

"Who knows the family on fire?"

"Teacher Sun!~" Everyone turned their attention to the old man again.

Qi Yu walked up to the old man and asked, "Master, what does the owner of this house have to do with you?"

The old man turned his head sideways, and prayed for rain with his ears: "What are you talking about? It's too noisy, I can't hear you clearly!"

Qi Yu helped the old man to a place away from the crowd, and raised the volume: "Master, can you hear me clearly now?"

"Yes! Say it."

"Do you know the owner of that house? How many people are there?"

"Yes, my son lives with his daughter-in-law and grandson."

The old man is hard of hearing, and as the conversation continues to increase in volume, on the contrary, his heart for praying for rain is getting more and more sinking.

After detailed questioning by Qi Yu, I learned that the old man's name is Sun Guoxing, he is 80 years old, and he lives in another hut ten meters away.The house where the fire broke out was lived by his son's family of three, and his grandson went to school and stayed at school. Usually only his son, Sun Shufu, and his wife live here.The two families have already separated and lived without interfering with each other. He was old and went to bed early but couldn't sleep well. This night he was awakened by the shock of running outside. He saw a fire outside and came out wearing clothes to see that it was his son's house.The fire was so big that no one could get close to it. Then the fire truck came, and he didn't know if his son and daughter-in-law were at home today.

"Is there no one in the room?" Sun Guoxing finally asked.

Qi Yu couldn't bear to tell the truth, and told the old man that he was still searching and hadn't finalized it.

The old man nodded thoughtfully, "They shouldn't be at home, they usually go out..."

Qi Yu stepped through the big iron gate leaning against the wall that had been dismantled by the fire brigade, and walked into the messy scene.Several high-power emergency lights were placed on the ground to illuminate the interior of the house. Puddles of puddles of water were everywhere on the untouched dirt floor. The water was mixed with black ashes and soaked in charred wood. With lingering smoke and fire.

There were two charred and partially carbonized corpses on the ground not far apart. One was sitting leaning against the brick wall, and the other was lying on the opposite ground, with a distance of about one meter between them.The bodies of the two corpses were all distorted due to the high temperature, their limbs were curled up, and their fists were shrunk under their chins. On their bodies were beams that had been burned into several sections of black charcoal.

Qi Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time: 6:8 am on June 2.

The three of Nianfeng squatted on the ground to carefully collect evidence. Many digital signs had been placed on the uneven ground. number cards.

Not long after, Nian Feng grabbed several evidence bags containing things in his hand. He stood up and prepared to put them aside, turned around and saw Qi Yu standing not far behind, and smiled helplessly.

"It looks like there's nothing wrong with you here, it's all burned..."

"It seems to be... Was it an accident or man-made?" Qi Yu asked.

Nian Feng turned his head to look at the body sitting against the wall, spread his hands and shrugged.Qi Yu glanced at it and came to a general conclusion in his heart.

The whispered discussions in the crowd continued, and the doubts in the hearts of the big guys became more and more serious. Some of them couldn't help but look into the fire scene from different angles, and finally saw the black shadow lying on the ground in the brightly lit ruins. Combined with the fact that the doctor in a white coat has been in for so long and has not come out, the villagers' discussions have become more and more serious.

"I'm afraid it's not a dead person. Those who come out with the police are forensic doctors."

"Forensic doctors who specialize in the dead..."

"Who died?"

"What do you say?"

A group of people winked at each other under the cover of night, and Qi Yu listened to their conversation and re-entered the crowd, but a group of people began to disperse in twos and threes, yelling that it was too late to go back to sleep.

Seeing a group of people leaving one after another, the crowded place just now was emptied, Qi Yu quickly walked a few steps according to the direction of the voice, and the characteristics of the voice grabbed the two people who were chatting most vigorously just now.

"Don't go in a hurry, help us understand the situation."

The villagers who were suddenly grabbed gave Qi Yu a sideways glance and said in a very uncomfortable tone: "What are you cooperating with? I am also here to fight the fire..."

"Then tell me when did you know it was on fire, and how did you know it? How was the fire when you came here?" Qi Yu took out the ID and approached the other party's eyes to ensure that the other party could read the words clearly in the dim light.

Seeing that it was a policeman, the other party softened his tone a little.According to him, he slept until after twelve o'clock to go to the bathroom, and after going to the bathroom, he lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. He didn't know how long it was before he heard someone shouting that there was a fire outside. He got up and came out to see the red sky in the west of the village. Yes, he came along with other villagers. On the way, he met someone running home and told him to go back to get a water tool. When he arrived, someone was already pouring water into the house with a basin, but it didn't help. Afterwards, they could only stand on the sidelines and watch. "Did you see any suspicious people, such as people from your village mixed in with the crowd?"

"It's not suspicious that they are all here to fight the fire. Could it be that someone else ran in and killed someone? It's nothing..." The villagers waved their hands as if they were praying for rain out of nothing.

The villagers disappeared one after another, leaving only the village head and Sun Guoxing standing aside, Wen Bin and the others shrugged. Everyone learned that the situation was similar.

The village chief asked Ke Xia, "Is Teacher Sun all right? Let him go back to rest, it's too late."

Before Ke Xia could speak, Qi Yu said, "Wait a minute, take a sample first."

Qi Yu walked into the fire scene and called out Nian Feng, and asked him if he would like to get the family's DNA. The deceased might be Sun Guoxing's son. Nian Feng walked out carrying the investigation box with a hum.The sampling was very fast, and Sun Guoxing kept silent during the process and did not ask a single question.

After the end, the village head sent Sun Guoxing back to the next hut, and prayed for the rain to take a look at Sun Guoxing's residence, which was a low bungalow about ten meters away from the burning house.

A few steps away, the village head kept muttering: Oh, what a crime.

Qi Yu asked the village head: "This family's relationship with neighbors is not very good? Why is everyone so indifferent?"

The village chief sighed: "What can I do? I guess if everyone knew that this house was on fire today, they would turn over and continue to sleep. Everyone ran so fast and thought it was Mr. Sun's house that was on fire..."

"Teacher Sun?" Qi Yu asked.

The village chief pouted towards the dark hut with the closed door: "Sun Guoxing, the couple have been teaching and educating people all their lives, but they were completely cheated by their own children. I don't know how much debt I owed in my previous life."

Sun Guoxing is not a local, he was transferred from other places to build a school in Lumna decades ago.After Sun Guoxing came here, he met Zhao Qing, a female colleague who also supports education in mountainous areas, and the two became husband and wife for a long time.Sun Guoxing taught Chinese and Zhao Qing taught mathematics. After they got married, they settled down here and taught for a lifetime. Under their education, countless students learned Chinese characters and learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Sun Guoxing and his wife were no longer young when they came here. They had a daughter soon after they got married. I don’t know the situation of the parents of the couple. Anyway, no one came to help after the child was born.When the couple went to work, they took their daughter to school together, and the two took turns.When the child was four years old, he was able to walk and run. One day the couple had classes and the little girl was asked to stay in the office.I never thought that the little girl would sneak out by herself. At that time, the school was just a few small bungalows, without even a courtyard wall and gate.No one saw or stopped her. The little girl ran to play in the field near the school in one breath. It was the season of planting, and the aqueduct was filled with water. The little girl fell face down in the aqueduct. The water submerged her when it reached the calf depth, and when people found out that they were cold.

The couple were heartbroken, and after more than a year, they finally gave birth to another child.Zhao Qing was afraid of another accident and asked for leave to take care of the children, so the higher-ups agreed taking their situation into consideration.Zhao Qing stayed at home with the child until he was three years old, and the wages were low for taking long vacations. With the child, the expenses were high and the income and expenditure were uneven. All kinds of realities forced Zhao Qing to take no more leave.
