I thought about it, "That's true, but this place is still pushed out by us, and it may not be reliable." Second, there is no way to clear Lao Xinglong, even if it is hail, it is the same as a vegetable market. A little clearing, and people will see a clue. ”

Min Ziqin said: "Then this will also create an opportunity for the arsonist to escape, there are so many people, and if there is a mess, the police will not be able to strictly control it, so maybe they will let him escape while the chaos is in chaos." Unless the fire can be controlled in the first place and the riot can be stopped. ”

I looked at Bi Yunfang, "Xiao Fang, you can breathe fire, can you extinguish the fire?"

Bi Yunfang shook his head, "No, I can only spray, but I can't extinguish it, how can I kill it?"

Su Er waved his hand, "Unless we know Ying Long, I always feel that in the matter of extinguishing fires, monsters should not be as good as modern technology." So the key is not to control the fire, but to detect the fire in the first place. ”

"That's a bit difficult, Lao Xinglong doesn't look big, but the five floors add up to a lot of money. And the building is so old that there are no monitoring facilities at all, so you can only rely on people to patrol back and forth. ”

Su Er asked Kangkang: "Is there any pattern in the time period of these crimes, don't set the fire now." ”

Kang Kang said: "It's all at night, between late at night, and this time is also the easiest time to commit crimes." ”

I nodded, "Forget it, I'll go to Lao Xinglong with Xi Fan at night and give Xiao Jian a hand, if I can catch the arsonist, I'll beat him first." ”

Let's take a look left and right, "Where's Yanan?"

Min Ziqin pointed upstairs, "Study." ”

It seems that this child was frightened, and they all started to learn well, and I didn't suffer in vain.

After dinner and resting for a while, I beckoned Xi Fan to go with me, Su Er originally wanted to follow, I said that it was useless to go to so many people, and they were not familiar with Lao Xinglong at all, don't lose yourself after going in, I have to spend time looking for them.

When I arrived at Lao Xinglong, I made a phone call to Xiao Jian, he had already brought someone to control, and he was eating at a stall on the first floor, and when we went over, I saw that there were a few people sitting next to him, and Xing Ming was also among them.

He beckoned the boss to bring two more pairs of chopsticks, and I smiled and said, "Is this considered a public hospitality?" ”

"We don't have such a big meal at work, and I pay for it out of my own pocket. ”

"Okay, is it all arranged?

"I've already checked up and down in the afternoon, and I haven't seen any clues, but you also know the place of Lao Xinglong, and I can't check it too carefully, and I'm worried that the other party has put in the things used to start the fire. ”

"That's no trick, we chatted for a while in the afternoon, under the premise of being prepared, the fire extinguishing is not a big problem, the main thing is to find the fire in the first place. Otherwise, if these people are messed up, it will not be easy to catch people. ”

"Well, we are also considering this, and we have transferred a lot of people to help with the control, the serial arson case, although there are no fatalities in these cases, but the impact is still extremely bad, the above is very concerned, I am under a lot of pressure. ”

"So the two of us also came to help, I don't dare to say anything else, it's always good to have two more pairs of eyes. ”

Xiao Jian was also not polite, "Tonight, except for our colleagues guarding the front and back doors, everyone else entered Lao Xinglong in order, and walked along the shop number, if it takes about an hour to walk around the five floors according to the normal pace, we will go in every three minutes, and we will patrol along the numbered line, and after an hour, it will basically be fully covered." If you want to help, you can do it yourself, and if you find one, just call me. ”

"So if you say that, people are already flowing in it now?"

"Well, that's what it means. ”

After eating, I took Xi Fan to familiarize myself with the layout of Lao Xinglong, and roughly told him how to go, where the stairs were, and then walked separately, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Lao Xinglong was still full of people, bustling, and the sound of bargaining was endless.

I walked around, from time to time I will see a familiar face, that is Xiao Jian's colleague, and when I finished walking to the fifth floor, I looked at the time, sure enough, it was nearly an hour, I began to go down again, not all the shops on these five floors are open, there are many places that cannot be rented, or are used as warehouses, we can't enter these places, and naturally there is no way to understand the situation.

And there are some small black houses, with the door pulled outside, it is estimated that there is a group of people gathering to gamble inside, virtual and real, to choose here to set fires, there are really more places to start. Another one, whether it is clothing or daily necessities, most of them are flammable, once they catch fire, it will not take a moment to spread, and then the whole building will be in chaos.

Thankfully, the damn guy hasn't done it yet, and after nine o'clock the crowd will start to disperse, and some of the shops will be ready to close up, and I guess by ten o'clock there won't be many shops open here, so there will be good and bad. The good thing is that there are few people and it is not easy to have a mass stampede, but the bad thing is that we are a large group of people sweeping the building, which is easy to be detected by arsonists.

It was already ten o'clock on the first floor, and the stalls on the periphery of the downstairs were in full swing, and those who had finished shopping in the market and the shopkeepers were eating supper and drinking in twos and threes in the stalls. I'm a little uncertain, I don't know if that guy will come tonight, I'm dying.

I went to the stall outside the building and asked Xiao Jian what the situation was, and Xiao Jian said that now slowly let some of the people in the building withdraw part, leaving two people to patrol each floor, and the others are on standby near the front and rear doors. "Don't worry, I hope your reasoning is correct, then he only has two hours left to commit the crime. ”

After another half an hour, according to what Xiao Jian said, most of the people had already withdrawn, and there were actually not many shops still open in Lao Xinglongli. Xi Fan and Xing Ming also withdrew and stayed with us, to be honest, I had the heart to ask for two bottles of wine to drink.

At this moment, my phone rang, and when I took it out, I saw that it was Kangkang, "Hey, what's wrong, girl?"

"Brother Li, I took the map down at night, carefully compared the previous incident, our inference is not wrong, and this person, absolutely the same as you said, is a Virgo, after those points are connected, there is basically no error, and I also measured the specific location of the last point. ”

"You said it, isn't it Lao Xinglong?"

"The scope of the previous arson was basically more than 100 square meters, and Lao Xinglong was too big and not fine enough. ”

"Yo, tell me, where is it?"

"I'm not familiar with Lao Xinglong, but according to the measured location, it should be in the southeast corner of this building. ”

I asked Xiao Jian, "What is the number of the southeast corner?"

Xiao Jian looked at the drawing, "I'll see, the location of the southeast corner should be around No. 60." ”

Kang Kang continued: "And I also found a pattern, that is, the place where the incident occurred before, the place where the fire caught fire did not start from the ground, but in mid-air, on the third floor. ”

I remembered the residential building on fire that I saw today, and it was indeed scorched black on the third floor, and I hurriedly said to Xiao Jian: "Old Xiao, let people focus on the southeast corner of the third floor, the number should be around 3-60." ”

Suddenly, I was stunned for a moment, 360, so familiar, not familiar with 360, but the old and prosperous 3-60, I seem to have been here before. By the way, the printing workshop that occasionally served me before was marked with Lao Xinglong 3-60.

"Damn, I guess it's not running, it's a printing workshop, there must be a lot of paper and inkjet cloth in it, it's all flammable!"

After speaking, a few of us hurriedly got up, and Xiao Jian had already instructed the people on the third floor to go over and check through the walkie-talkie. After a while, I heard someone say: "Team Xiao Xiao Team, 3-60 locked, but there is a smell of smoke!"

And another voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Team Xiao Xiao, this is the back door, you can see tongues of fire coming out of the window in the corner of the third floor!"

Xiao Jian immediately instructed: "Let the fire department rush over, everyone pay attention, if you see the suspicious characters, control them first, the front and rear door guards should record everyone who goes out, and the others will go up to the third floor with fire extinguishers, and the people who arrive will start breaking down the door first!"

We ran briskly up to the third floor, paying attention to the people around us as we ran, to see if there were any hurried expressions or pretending to be calm. When I arrived at the place, I saw that several people over there had begun to pry the door, but the roller shutter was quite difficult to handle, and there was already billowing smoke coming out of the crack next to the door.

Xing Ming took a crowbar from someone else's hand, stretched it into the gap, and pried the roller shutter out of a hole with a "hi" sound, and several people worked together to erect the roller shutter, and saw that there was already a fire inside, "Fire extinguisher!"

A few more policemen went in with a fire extinguisher to spray, these are not professional, so I didn't follow to add to the chaos, but Xi Fan took a fire extinguisher and went in. After a while, he came out and said: "No, the fire is too big, there are several shops in here, the space is not small, there are a lot of things, and there is an obvious smell of gasoline!"

Someone else has already opened the fire hydrant, picked up the water, and unscrewed the water after dragging it in, which should be able to control it. Xiao Jianmao came out, "Let's go, this fire was ignited with gasoline, and it shouldn't have been too long, I guess the suspect hasn't gone far." ”

We had just turned a corner when we saw a man running towards us in a hurry, and when he saw a group of us, he was stunned, and then ran in the opposite direction. Xiao Jian shouted: "What are you doing! Stop! Police!"

The man ran faster when he heard this, and we hurriedly followed, Xing Ming took the lead and chased him to the staircase, but the man didn't run down, but ran upstairs, Xiao Jian shouted to go to another staircase to block it, this time it will be difficult for him to escape.
