Sunrise in the smoke

F city, city bureau, meeting room.

As soon as Qi Yihan finished speaking, the door of the meeting room was opened.Everyone looked at the door, An Cixi realized that he didn't seem to have knocked on the door just now, just when he was about to push out and knock on the door before entering, Shen Jiuqi had already waved at her.An Cixi put his palms together to express his apology, and then returned to his seat.

Although this was a small episode, Qi Yihan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

However, their thinking was not interrupted by this little episode, Shen Jiuqi flipped through the materials, and then supported his head with one hand, as if thinking completely.

In fact, what Qi Yihan said just now is not wrong, nor is it unreasonable.It's just too powerful for others to drive.It's almost the same concept as saying "I am the most powerful in the world" out loud.Even if Qi Yihan has such ability, they may not be able to fully believe what Qi Yihan said.So now no one dares to speak in the entire conference room.Qi Yihan pressed his temples, and said: "There are only so many clues we can get now, if we want to get more, we have to get some words from Ran Ying..."

Before Qi Yihan finished speaking, the sound of the door opening came again.A small police officer from the second team came running sweating profusely: "Shen, Shen, Yu, Yu said, please, please go to the scene with him." Shen Jiuqi turned her head and asked: "What scene?" ? Murder scene?" The little police officer nodded.Shen Jiuqi thought, is there no one in the second team? How could he be allowed to go?

Qi Yihan seemed to have come to his senses, and asked, "Who is the deceased?" The little policeman shook his head, looking at him like he was crying anxiously.

Everyone present looked at each other, as if they were conveying some message.

Shen Jiuqi finally moved the wheelchair, patted Qi Yihan's shoulder, picked up his coat and said, "Then give Yu Ran a face, let's go." Qi Yihan didn't say anything, but mechanically pushed Shen Jiuqi's wheelchair.

Walking and walking, Shen Jiuqi seemed to feel that something was wrong behind her, she turned her head to look at them, and said, "Brother Kong, come too."

The three went to the scene together.

In the car, when Shen Jiuqi saw the address that Yu Ran had sent him, she felt something was wrong: "This place...isn't Bai Liu's residence?" Qi Yihan was still driving, so it was inconvenient to look at it, but he still glanced at it.Kong Yan leaned forward to look at the location, it seemed that it was indeed the place where Bai Liu lived.

"It should have been expected a long time ago." Qi Yihan said suddenly, "We have just encountered such a big thing, it is normal for the murderer to want to 'destroy the corpse'. But there is one more suspicious point, since the murderer knows that Bai Liu treats him very Unfavorable, but why did he wait until now to kill Bai Liu? Maybe he planned it, or maybe he wanted to tell us something."

"Then Yu Ran thought it should be related to the case we're dealing with, so he called us here?" Shen Jiuqi seemed to ask knowingly.

The other two people in the car didn't say a word, so it was taken as acquiescence.

When the three of them arrived at the scene, a cordon had been set up at the entrance of the unit, and the surrounding residents had gathered around to watch the excitement.The entire crime scene was very lively, but this was not the first time they had seen such a scene.So the police were not alarmed.Shen Jiuqi read the message Yu Ran sent him on the phone, and dragged the two of them to find Yu Ran.

On the way, they heard chattering discussions from many residents: "Oh, it is said that the dead man's husband was a criminal policeman before."

"Hey, could this be the murderer's revenge?"

……

Although this kind of discussion is very common, a possibility suddenly flashed in Qi Yihan's mind after hearing it, but he quickly denied it.

After watching the three of them come, Yu Ran put his waist down and blamed: "Why did you come here!" Then he didn't say much, and led the three of them into the cordon.

When they went upstairs, they could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere in the corridor, and they could see that the murder case had just been completed.

To be honest, before meeting Bai Liu, they made a lot of psychological preparations, thought about many ways of her death, and thought about many scenes.But they didn't expect the scene in front of them; and the death of Bai Liu in front of them, they also didn't expect it.

With the pile of things that were about to turn into ashes in front of them now, they really couldn't connect her with the clean and dignified Bai Liu in the past.I couldn't tell who it was, because she was almost ashes, and there was a burning smell in the room.It is preliminarily judged that Bai Liu should have been burned to death.

Shen Jiuqi saw Han Yejing's figure at a glance among such a group of firefighters.So he avoided people and caught Han Yejing.Han Yejing looked back at the middle-aged man, she was puzzled at first, and then asked: "Why is Captain Shen here?" Shen Jiuqi pulled Han Yejing back, and said in a low voice: "Come, I'll follow you Say something."

Shen Jiuqi handed over what she should do to Qi Yihan and Kong Yan.He and Han Yejing were in the corner.

"Captain Shen, tell me, what can I help you with? I am willing to help." Han Yejing bowed slightly.

Shen Jiuqi went straight to the point and asked, "How do you think this caught fire?" Han Yejing felt that Shen Jiuqi was deliberately embarrassing him, they came here thinking of putting out the fire, and now they were dragged here by him, who could tell? Think of how the fire started in such a short time!Han Yejing turned her head quickly, and then said: "Let me tell you something, don't feel terrible. But in any case, this has nothing to do with accidental fire. You should be able to see that it is a deliberate murder. The point of fire …The preliminary judgment is to pour gasoline on people and burn them alive.”

"Has there been any similar cases before?" Shen Jiuqi continued to ask.

"Well..." Han Yejing prolonged the ending on purpose, to give herself a moment to think, "Anyway, I have never encountered it in my place, after all, it is not something that ordinary people can do. .You can ask other squadron leaders, I haven’t met them before.”

"You just said... the fire started on people, so I want to ask what the fire looked like when you went in." Shen Jiuqi asked.

"It's just like you think, a 'Fire Man'. When we arrived and saw the 'Fire Man', our first reaction was how to put out the fire, and the second reaction was to see if there were other people in the house. In the end, we had no choice but to Use the method of directly extinguishing the fire, otherwise it will only cause greater losses." Han Yejing pinched the bridge of her nose, pointed at Shen Jiuqi and said, "You guys, who are you offending? Why are all the people who have something to do with you Ordinary people have to suffer this kind of thing?"

Shen Jiuqi was still thinking, and when she heard Han Yejing's last two sentences, she still had a surprised expression on her face: "How did you know?" Han Yejing patted Shen Jiuqi on the shoulder : "Brother, I asked for leave to visit you yesterday. Xi Jinghua told me a paragraph that was equivalent to not saying a paragraph, and the latter one was also summed up by myself. By the way, I insisted on asking Ah, don't blame Xi Jinghua."

"You boy, there are so many people here, why did you just find Xi Yun?" Shen Jiuqi had a "gossip" expression.

"Fuck your sister! I like men." Han Yejing didn't feel any shame when she said this, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with someone like him saying that.

Shen Jiuqi probably also forgot that her leg was injured, and limped directly into the scene.

After Qi Yihan saw Shen Jiuqi coming back, he quickly supported him, seemingly leaning on his shoulder, but actually took the opportunity to say to him: "Captain Shen, I found something." Well, Comrade Shen Jiuqi didn't know what he was It was some kind of bad luck, Qi Yihan dragged him to the place where he was talking to Han Yejing just now.

Qi Yihan said to him: "Captain Shen, what did you and Captain Han talk about just now?" Shen Jiuqi slowly listed it for him... and then asked: "What do you think?" Qi Yihan asked Shen Jiu mysteriously Qi said: "I don't think Bai Liu's death is that simple." Shen Jiuqi frowned: "Comrade Qi Yihan, can you please say the whole sentence every time you speak?"

"Forget it, let me tell you this. I suspect that the murderer is downstairs now." Qi Yihan said what he thought very simply.

Shen Jiuqi looked shocked, and lip-synced to him: Are you serious?Qi Yihan nodded.Just when Shen Jiuqi was about to ask "How did you know", Qi Yihan hooked his finger at him, and Shen Jiuqi moved her ear closer.Qi Yihan whispered in his ear: "Actually, I also asked Captain Han just now, when did they receive the report, and Captain Han said it was at 36:35, but I asked the person who reported the case just now, and she said The time was 1:35. Although the difference between the two time points was only 39 minute, there was still some difference. Then I asked other neighbors, and they all said that they smelled a burning smell, and , the murderer left footprints in the room, as if he escaped by jumping out of the window. Assume that the time the murderer set the fire was 4:2, and the rest of the team arrived at [-]:[-]. Escaping is not uncommon. But the most terrifying thing is these people. When they hear a fire, normal people will go downstairs. It takes about [-] minutes for the people on the first floor to evacuate. This is not crowded. , Think about it, at that time, everyone was walking up the stairs, and the murderer was walking through the window alone, so whoever saw it would not doubt it?"

"Mr. Qi, there are big loopholes in the theory you mentioned. First of all, you can't be sure whether the murderer fled immediately after setting the fire or something; secondly..."

"Captain Shen, although I know you will be angry if I say this, I still want to say it. The murderer has probably escaped at this time." Qi Yihan said very calmly and calmly.

Shen Jiuqi: "...Then what do you mean by telling me that you want us to chase him now?"

Just when Qi Yihan was about to say "well", Shen Jiuqi's phone rang suddenly.Shen Jiuqi answered the phone.I only heard Shen Jiuqi say two words - "Hello" and "Okay, I see".

"Ran Ying was silenced." Qi Yihan said after watching Shen Jiuqi finish making the phone call.

"How do you know?" Shen Jiuqi regretted this sentence as soon as it came out.Is he stupid?Isn't it a good time for the murderer to choose to silence him?

"The reason why the murderer chose to attack at this time is because the three of us came out. And I have a hunch that I might be finished next time." When Qi Yihan said the last sentence, he was in a very relaxed state, He doesn't panic about his end, as if that's what he has to go through.

Now Shen Jiuqi can finally understand why Qi Yihan is so "beautiful" sometimes, he feels that he is about to die and can relax, and calmly said this sentence, he is really a real "lunatic".Shen Jiuqi asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

"As far as I guess, the murderer didn't dare to touch me, at most he said a few words to me, and then let me go..."

"Do you think I can die right away?" Shen Jiuqi suddenly asked Qi Yihan.

"I don't think so." Qi Yihan swept Shen Jiuqi's whole body.

"Why?" Shen Jiuqi asked.

"Because you are in the state of dying now." Qi Yihan pointed to Shen Jiuqi's injured leg, "The murderer really wants to take revenge not on us, but on some people they should take revenge on."

Shen Jiuqi was completely dazed by Qi Yihan, but he still turned his head around a corner, and then said to Qi Yihan: "Do you think it's someone related to Wang Jing?" Qi Yihan shook his head , and then added: "I'm not sure. And, Team Shen, have you noticed that the murderer seems to want to repeat what happened, maybe there will be a corpse next time. The murderer may be slowly implementing Retaliation, if we don't find him, this revenge may not end, and in the end too many people will be involved, and we can't pay for so many lives. Therefore, we must make a quick decision now." Shen Jiuqi patted Qi Yihan's shoulder: "Sometimes I feel that your age seems to be older than me."

Qi Yihan smiled after hearing this sentence.

F city, city bureau, meeting room.

Yu Ran was dragged by the three of them to the meeting room as a guest, so it seemed a bit abrupt.

Qi Yihan looked down at the documents and said: "The forensic results have come out, and it is Bai Liu herself. Apart from being able to identify her as Bai Liu herself, there is nothing that can be found. After the preliminary judgment of the firefighter uncle, it is mainly in Bai Liu's body." Doused gasoline on the body, and then set fire to people. But there are so many points in it that make it difficult for us to judge directly. The first point is how Bai Liu was burned alive; the second point is how the murderer escaped; the third point, what is the murderer's purpose of burning Bai Liu to death."

"We called in surveillance, and listed all the suspects based on the shoe prints." Shen Jiuqi picked up what Qi Yihan said.

Because of the timeline, our Comrade Qi Yihan was particularly obsessed with the residents at the scene, so he made notes for them all.Moreover, according to the monitoring at the scene, no one escaped by jumping out of the window, but all of them came out of the residential building.

Qi Yihan stared at so many documents on the table, and slowly said: "I have an idea. Will there be no murderer?" Everyone was frightened by Qi Yihan's thought, what is "there is no murderer"?Shen Jiuqi gave Qi Yihan a look, Qi Yihan pretended not to see it, and continued: "Maybe there is no murderer at all, but Bai Liu committed suicide by herself? If this is really the decision, then those points we mentioned before It can be completely ignored. The shoe prints may be interference information, which means that no one escaped from the window at all. And according to the records of the residents, there is no mention that anyone came out of Bailiu's house. We checked all the surrounding Surveillance, no suspicious person was found. Now the scope is directly narrowed, and there are only two possibilities. One possibility is that the murderer left through some secret door, and we have no way to see where he is; One possibility is that, as I just said, there is no murderer at all. It was all caused by Bai Liu himself. But if what I said is true, then we will soon face a more difficult problem, that is, how did Bai Liu Do you have to make up your mind to burn yourself to death?"
