A fire in Xinhai City touched everyone's nerves.

Not only were the TV newspapers reporting it, but the locals also spread the word of mouth, because the accident was caused by nearly 20 junior students of Xinhai University, and at the same time, it also affected three surrounding households, one of which was the deputy mayor's own brother and a family of six, who were burned into a pile of wreckage in their sleep.

Whether it was burning more than a dozen college students, or burning the family of the deputy mayor's younger brother, it was a heinous evil, especially when the news broke out on the same day, which was a man-made fire.

Most believe that this is an act of vendetta against the deputy mayor, and that the university students are only affected, but no one can say for sure until the facts are revealed.

Because the social impact of this incident was too bad, the police immediately began to investigate, and did not let go of any clues, Su Ruotong, as a person who had been in and out of the neighborhood that day, was soon included in the list of suspicions.

But unlike the rest of the people who were included in the suspicion list, Su Ruotong basically did not receive any interrogation, because the Su family was there, and the Zhu family and Gao Yumei also opened their mouths to guarantee her, she had no motive to commit the crime, and she could not run away from the temple, and for a while, the police did not restrict Su Ruotong's activities too much.

Now Su Ruotong spends almost all day and night in the hospital.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Qi Meijing's hands tied in the restraint belt tightly clasped the sheets, and under the severely burned skin, her hands were twisted into a twisted shape.

Her burns were the worst of all her classmates - except for the two who died - there was hardly a piece of good skin on her body, and she was completely blind in one eye.

Qi Meijing's studies are counted in the class, although she has never been in the top three, but she will always be indispensable in the top five. This is not very smart, but she is extremely diligent and self-disciplined, she is preparing to take the graduate school entrance examination this year, so she signed up for the English class during the winter vacation, and she attends classes diligently every day.

Su Ruotong looked at Qi Meijing's painful appearance, and she couldn't bear it to the extreme, the burns were so serious, let alone continuing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I am afraid that the rest of her life will be completely ruined.

Although it is said that the school will definitely compensate a sum of money, what can this money be used for, how to buy the second half of people's lives, this arsonist is too cruel.

Su Ruotong comforted and asked for a spoonful of nourishing soup specially stewed for burn patients, coaxed it to Qi Meijing like a child, and said, "Qi Meijing, you drink some soup, this is a medicinal diet, which is very useful for your injury recovery." ”

"Really?" Qi Meijing's voice was full of panic, but at this time, even if she was handed a straw and said that it was a lifebuoy, she believed it.

"Really, I won't lie to you. Su Ruotong said. The soup she personally stewed is of course very useful for the recovery of burns, but Qi Meijing has been burned to such an extent, at most, she can only be discharged from the hospital, and her skin will not be scarred as badly like other patients with severe burns, and the broken eye will definitely not be saved.

Qi Meijing drank the soup with difficulty, she was very strong, but the stronger she was, the more distressing it was.

The rest of the students who were burned were not much better.

Chen Xingren, as his name suggests, is very lucky, his burns are relatively light, and this is also based on the fact that he went in and out in four ways and rescued several classmates in person.

When Su Ruotong fed Chen Xing soup, Chen Xing hoarsely spoke, his face was as pale as paper, and said, "Su Ruotong, I'm sorry for everyone." I shouldn't have called people out to play. Good thing you're okay. As he spoke, Chen Xing was about to cry.

"It's not your fault. Su Ruotong said: "Absolutely not!"

Chen Xing obviously has carried the burden of thought, thinking that it is his fault. But how could it be, he just organized everyone to come out to play, and it was the murderer who really did wrong. The murderer must be brought to justice!

After taking care of all the classmates, Su Ruotong came outside to take a breath.

Outside the ward, several armed police officers were gathered to prevent unrelated personnel from trespassing into the ward and causing unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Su Ruotong, an armed policeman who was already familiar with her nodded to her and said hello. Su Ruotong asked, "Brother Li, do you have any new clues?"

"With a little. The armed police officer said: "It has been newly found that the arsonist used a large amount of lighter oil to commit the crime, and the container and detonator of the lighter oil were found at the scene, and the source of these things is now being investigated." With such a large amount of lighter oil, it is impossible to appear out of thin air. ”

The lighter oil burns up, but it is more powerful than gasoline, the fire is extremely fast, and it can even cause a series of explosions, so that the people around them can't escape at all, which is why even if Chen Xing and more than a dozen of them are awake to play cards, they still haven't had time to escape with all their beards and tails.

"The murderer must be caught. Su Ruotong didn't know whether to comfort herself, or the armed policeman, or the two classmates who died, and said seriously.

The armed police also nodded solemnly: "It will be!"

After breathing outside for a while, Su Ruotong was about to go back to the ward, when she caught a glimpse of a figure coming in at the door, it was Zhu Xiaoqi.

Although Su Ruotong could see that Zhu Xiaoqi was interesting to her, the strange thing was that he was not like the rest of those who had a good impression of her, always brushing his presence in front of her, but he didn't see each other for ten days and a half months from time to time.

Zhu Xiaoqi was carrying a box in his hand, with long legs and a vein, and strode over to Su Ruotong.

"Miss Su, I'm bringing you food. Zhu Xiaoqi said: "Uncle Su can't come today because of something. ”

Su Ruotong nodded, looked at the box in Zhu Xiaoqi's hand, and opened it to see that in addition to the lunch box, there was also a beautiful princess powder cake box.

"This is a pastry chef friend who went back to China to play, I specially asked her to make a cake, Miss Su can taste it, her pastry skills are very good. This cake called **, I heard that it will make people feel better after eating, and Miss Su doesn't look very happy recently. ”

Zhu Xiaoqi's voice was deliberately affectionate, like a feather tickling people's ears, but Su Ruotong was unmoved, thanked him, and took out the insulated lunch box first.

Zhu Xiaoqi looked at Su Ruotong with watery eyes, but he was a little anxious in his heart, how could he let Su Ruotong and Deng Qingqing take the initiative to meet? Deng Qingqing only moved out of the three-day schedule and returned to Huaxia with his children. Things can't be done in these three days, and it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future. And Su Ruotong is now bent on the hospital, but it's really sad, and now he hates the murderer who did it.

After eating two bites of food, Su Ruotong was full, and under Zhu Xiaoqi's eager gaze, Su Ruotong had no choice but to open the cake box, break a small piece, and taste it.

This cake uses heavy cheese, but the taste is not very wet, giving the tip of the tongue a heavy and slippery feeling, in addition, it also has an indescribable sweet aroma, which is a mixture of the fragrance of several plants that Su Ruotong has never touched, the sweetness is just right, not light or heavy, and it is really very healing to eat. This cake is worthy of Zhu Xiaoqi's praise, this cake master is already world-class, not to mention his own unique top-secret recipe.

This cake is excellent in terms of workmanship and ingredients, Su Ruotong admired her face, tasted the first bite, and tasted two more bites before closing the cake box again.

Zhu Xiaoqi and Su Ruotong have eaten together many times, knowing that this is her expression of appreciating her face, she invited her face: "Miss Su, do you have any other pastries you want to eat, you can tell me, I entrusted a friend to help you make it, she has to stay in China for three days, and now it is the next day." ”

Su Ruotong shook her head, she didn't have anything special to eat, even if she wanted to, she could ask Chef Charlie to do it.

Zhu Xiaoqi couldn't help but show regret on her face: "She admires Miss Su's cooking skills very much, but it's a pity that she can't meet you to discuss." ”

"I'll have a chance later. Su Ruotong is actually interested in the several plants used in the cake just now, so fragrant, maybe no one usually uses them to cook, but this chef's ingenious and bold use shows that he is very good at cooking.

teased Su Ruotong for a long time, but Su Ruotong was still unmoved, Zhu Xiaoqi knew that it was too much, so he took the initiative to stop.

At this moment, a policeman trotted in, looked around, his eyes fell on Su Ruotong, and said, "You are a classmate who burned the student? ”

As soon as Su Ruotong saw it, she knew that something new must have happened, so she immediately led the police inside, but left Zhu Xiaoqi outside.

The head of the school rotates the permanent wards, on the one hand, to take care of the students, and on the other hand, to respond to various emergencies, such as the outbreak of emotionally unstable parents and the sneaking in of journalists.

When the policeman saw the person in charge of the school, he put Su Ruotong aside and took the person in charge to the next hut to talk alone, but this level of secrecy couldn't hide Su Ruotong's powerful divine sense at all, and she knew all the conversations next door.

"The results of the forensic examination of the second student's body came out, although there were signs of severe burns on the outside, she was forced to suffocate before her death, that is, she was strangled to death and then burned. The policeman said to the teacher heavily: "That student should be a classmate named Wang Yang from your school, how is her usual interpersonal relationship, and does she have any enemies and unhappyness?" ”

This case is really getting more and more confusing.

Until now, the police still feel that this is a terrorist vendetta case against the deputy mayor, but on the student's side, such a serious murder was found, maybe it was a double homicide case, the murderer who killed Wang Yang was not the same as the fire manipulator, the one who killed Wang Yang may be her classmate, this classmate should have been arrested soon after the crime, but because of a sudden fire, the evidence of the crime was burned clean, and now he is still lying on the hospital bed pretending to be innocent. According to the intention of the experts of their case-handling team, they first found the murderer of this small murder case and threw it out to divert public opinion and attention, and then they could continue to handle the arson case. That's what the police are here for today.
