Chapter 477: Arson
The sky in early spring glows a clear pale blue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
White clouds overlap and float in the sky, like a huge fortress bathed in the golden morning light, moving with the wind.
A small island is suspended between the sea of clouds.
The golden laurel tree rises from the island, its branches and leaves stretching out, and the golden light is sparkling, like a scorching morning sun hanging between the heavens and the earth.
"Mirror...... Mirror, ......"
The garden is elegant, with white hydrangeas adorned among the trees, which look like a fluffy white snow cover from afar.
The young man in Tsing Yi walked along the gravel road, his white wings hanging behind him, and he muttered the same name in his mouth with a lollipop in his mouth.
Passing through the garden, a lake emerges, clear and turquoise like an emerald mosaic.
Tall, stout golden laurel trees grow in the center of the lake, and their foliage rises to shade half of the island. The golden leaves swayed in the morning breeze, the morning sun shimmered, slanting on the surface of the lake, and the floating purple lotus flowers played with fish.
He stood on the side of the gravel road covered with green velvet alfalfa, looked around the lake, and looked up at the laurel tree.
Scratched his head.
"Strange...... What about people?"
Tianshui District.
The streets were in shambles, shop plaques were torn, street lamps had collapsed, cracked walls were faintly visible, and smoke was billowing from the rubble of bricks and rubble.
The cordon was drawn at both ends of the street at the scene, and the gold-armored guards with swords were tightly guarded.
Residents of the neighborhood crowded outside the police cordon at both ends of the street, and there was a lot of discussion.
The wind blew his blond hair, and the young man in white descended from the street, his clothes fluttering, and a pair of clean and snow-white wings gathered behind him.
"Holy Angels. The golden-armored guards guarding the streets fell to one knee and bowed respectfully to him.
He looked at the smoke-filled streets inside the cordon, his blonde hair lifted by the scorched wind, and frowned.
Inside the street.
The walls collapsed, the bricks and tiles were messy, and the shops, walls, and floors that had been destroyed by the burning were all billowing with smoke, and blood could be seen everywhere among the rubble.
A charred corpse collapsed in the billowing smoke, blackened beyond recognition, with only faintly burst eyes and a hideous mouth, all burned so that the flesh had faded and bones loomed.
The blue-purple robe was flowing with starlight, and the seven garden hibiscus stood in the middle of the street, her wings hanging behind her, and the vine and feather in her forehead were silently extinguished.
Footsteps were heard.
"Mirror, here. She looked back at the young man in white and nodded.
Qingxue looked at the smoking corpse, and then looked at her:
"What's going on?"
Qiyuan Hibiscus followed his line of sight and sighed:
"It's only been half a year since last year's demon invasion case, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen again in Tianshui District. ā
"Only this time ......"
She stared at the pair of burned-out winged skeletons on the back of the corpse, and her expression was complicated:
"The rebels are our own people. ā
The snow clearing mirror looked at the corpse on the ground:
"Are you identified?"
Qiyuan Hibiscus shook his head: "As you can see, it has been burned beyond recognition, except for the wing skeleton can be determined to be my angel clan, the specific identity is difficult to judge." ā
"Fortunately, dozens of people were injured, but no one died. It's a blessing in misfortune. ā
Qingxue looked at the corpse on the ground and thought thoughtfully:
"If you really deliberately start a riot, you should choose an open area with a large flow of people, as was the case in the previous massacre in the street garden in Tianshui District. But this time, the incident happened in the narrow streets of the civilian area......"
He looked around at the buildings around him, frowning:
"This is a place where you can escape and hide for your life than for a deliberate massacre. ā
He turned his face sideways and looked at the hibiscus next to him:
"You subdued this rioter?"
Seven Gardens nodded:
After receiving the public's feedback, the Tianshui District Escort Team arrived first, and while fighting with them, they seized the time to evacuate the crowd and block the scene. ā
"When I arrived, the two sides were still fighting, and this person seemed to have a fire attribute Yu Ci, who burned a lot of shops indiscriminately, and also burned some guards, and his mind was not clear, and he was talking nonsense. ā
"After I restrained him with the Vine Illusory Realm, I planned to capture him alive and bring it back to the trial......"
Qiyuan Hibiscus paused, and his expression changed slightly:
The man suddenly set himself on fire. ā
Qingxue Mirror was stunned:
"What do you mean...... He used his feathers to immolate himself?"
Qiyuan Hibiscus nodded: "Generally speaking, Yu Ci will not harm himself, and this is the first time I have seen this situation." ā
Qingxue Mirror looked at the corpse on the ground, thoughtful:
"If you fail to create unrest, you will commit suicide to avoid trial...... It makes sense. ā
Seven Gardens frowned:
"But one thing is very strange, when this man committed suicide, it was very sudden. He himself seemed unprepared, startled, and then showed unusual fear and pain, screaming and fleeing with flames on his back, until he was burned alive......"
"Because the incident happened suddenly, when I reacted and urgently summoned the water attribute guards at the scene...... He's what he is now. ā
Qingxue Mirror nodded:
"So he had just died when I arrived?"
"Yes. ā
"That's weird......" He slowly turned to a smoky shop on the side of the street and stepped forward.
"Mirror?" Nanayuan watched as he walked into one of the smoky shops and followed.
"Look here. He looked at the blackened cabinet at the door of the shop, slowly reached out and touched it gently, and in a blink of an eye, countless debris was scattered.
He continued to walk towards the interior of the shop, and a pair of light golden eyes looked at the half-burned curtains in the store, and the dust fluttered down the charred plush toys: "And these." ā
Qiyuan Hibiscus followed behind him, looked at the furnishings in the store one by one, and asked with a look in his eyes: "This is just a very ordinary toy store, what's the problem?"
Qingxue Mirror turned to look at her:
"If you want to set fires, you should start with flammables. However, the decorative curtains and a large number of plush toys in this toy store were almost not ignited, but the non-flammable plaques and cabinets in front of the store were burned most thoroughly. ā
"I had a cursory observation when I came here and the other destroyed shops were pretty much the same. ā
"If someone really wants to deliberately set fire to the unrest, he can completely manipulate Yu Ci to quietly set fire to the shop and then leave quietly. couldn't make such a big move, not only was it discovered and reported by the surrounding residents, but they didn't wait for the escort team or even the holy angel to come in person, and finally committed suicide in desperation. ā
And according to the traces of the flames, it is not deliberate, but rather unintentional when people are in a panic. ā
Qiyuan Hibiscus slowly lowered her eyelids, frowning slightly:
"So...... When this person confronted me, he was really flustered, no...... It's more like fear than panic, extreme fear. But instinct tells me...... The object of his panic and fear at that time was not me. ā
