Just when Uncle Yuan's body had been cremated and taken back to his hometown by his family for burial, because there were no useful clues, the relevant files related to the fire at the Laodingxin Asbestos Factory were about to be sealed into the unsolved case room, a video material that suddenly appeared on the Internet pushed the originally inconspicuous case to the cusp.

Overnight, the top posts of the major BBS in H City have become a video material with an unknown uploader.

The pixels of the video are not high, and the lens is shaking from time to time, so it should be taken casually with a mobile phone.

The first thing that catches your eye is a dilapidated wall, not high, just above the head of an adult man. The camera shakes violently and then balances again, and the fence is gone, replaced by a large clearing covered with dead grass, and a few tall houses can be faintly seen in the background.

The camera keeps moving until it comes to the ruined factory, looking through the window, which no longer has glass.

Uncle Yuan kept his head down and walked around, stopping from time to time to bend down to pick up something and put it in his plastic bag, not knowing that there were others in such a remote and desolate place.

The camera is far away, and the spilled liquid can be faintly heard, and then the dilapidated fence reappears.

Click. A lighter pops up in the frame. A small fluttering flame fell, turning into an all-engulfing fire in an instant.

With the help of accelerants, the fire developed extremely quickly, not to mention Uncle Yuan's 70-year-old arms and legs, since the young man with agility could not escape from the fire unscathed.

At this time, the person who set the fire was standing near the wall, and he held his mobile phone high, so that the others could clearly predict what was about to happen: when Uncle Yuan felt the heat. All around him was already a sea of fire, and the crumbling factory soon could not withstand the test of fire. began to collapse slowly, and Uncle Yuan was hit. Never got up again......

The video isn't over yet, the footage has been cut.

In the camera, the raging flames have been extinguished, and Uncle Yuan's body has been cleaned out and placed on the ground, covered with a white cloth. It's full of people, and it's a mess.

Then, the video ends.

The Internet police of H City reacted quickly, and after repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the video, they first took down the video from the major BBS. Then a specific analysis is carried out.

As can be seen from the last footage, the arsonist is among the rescuers afterward. Because the scene is inaccessible, in addition to the people who came to fight the fire, only Uncle Yuan's family members have also been to the scene, the police have investigated, and Uncle Yuan's three children were all working in the unit when the fire was on fire, and there is a clear alibi.

How many people came to the scene at that time, no one can say, the fire brigade went to four vehicles. Several surrounding companies that usually have emergency teams also sent a lot of people, everyone was busy fighting the fire, no one thought that the arson murderer would be so bold and would stay at the scene, of course, it is impossible to pay more attention to the busy people around.

The police investigation interviewed a number of people. Every business has gone around, and the arsonist who dared to publish his crime online is still nowhere to be found.

A month later, another fire broke out in City H.

This time. The fire started in a small commodity wholesale market in Shushan District, the city.

The Jiangbei Small Commodities Wholesale Market was built for about ten years, and more than half of it has been idle since the day it was built. Because before the construction, I misestimated the shopping preferences and purchasing enthusiasm of the surrounding people. At the beginning of the opening, merchants who were eager to enter the wholesale market were poured a large basin of ice water on their heads. Not to mention the evening, even in broad daylight, few people come to buy things, and the merchants sit at the door to catch flies.

The one-year rent is lost, and the cost of the goods in the hands has to be added, as well as the labor cost.

The merchants who lost a little blood withdrew on a large scale the second year, leaving behind a small commodity wholesale market like a ghost town, and the market rent also dropped again and again from the highest in the city, and it has been ten years, and I don't know if the developer's cost has been recovered.

Later, many stores here served as warehouses, because the rent was so cheap that it was okay to put something if you couldn't do business, so many merchants hoarded their goods here.

In addition to the fact that no one has supervised for a long time, the goods are piled up from the top to the bottom, and even the fire escape is blocked, and the fire hydrant that was necessary for the market has long been no longer out of water. There is only one exit in the entire warehouse area, and the merchant hired an old couple to be responsible for guarding, after all, it is also something of value, large-scale stealing, the movement is too big, and the speed of exchanging money is also slow, no one will be so stupid, but losing points alone, adding up to a lot of losses, far more than finding two people's wages.

The old couple originally had a son, who died in a car accident in his 20s, leaving only the two to rely on each other. They lived in a vacant room closest to the exit from the warehouse. Guarding the warehouse, two people have an income of 1,200 yuan a month, less is less, but they live here, they can rent out their own house, and they can get 10,000 yuan a year, pure leftovers, so they have been doing this job for a long time.

On the day of the fire, as usual, they got up at six o'clock in the morning, and simply cleaned the corridor for only one person to pass through, the old lady ordered noodles, and the two of them simply ate and cleaned up the house, the old lady sat on the bed to knit a scarf, and the old man took a radio to listen to the radio, until noon, the old lady put down the wool, the old man put down the radio, and the two went out to buy vegetables together.

When I came back to get two dishes, I was about to start eating, and suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door, and the old man thought it was very strange. And it is rare to come at noon, either early in the morning, so that it is convenient to refill the goods before the store opens, or at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, to prepare for the next day's business.

But the old man put down the bowl anyway and went to open the door. Unexpectedly, before he could see who the other party was, what was waiting for him was a blow to the head and he was directly knocked unconscious.

The old lady ran out when she heard the movement, and she was also subdued in three or two minutes.

Poor two old men, they didn't see each other's round or flat looks at all, and by the time they woke up, it was already too late.

Amid the pungent smell of gasoline, the two old men struggled to get up from the ground and ran towards the only way to survive - the closed security door.

It's a pity it's too late. The security door was tightly closed, and the key was dangling in the young man's hand outside the door.

They watched as the young man indifferently lit the lighter in his hand and then indifferently threw it down.

Death is not an instantaneous event.

When gasoline meets an open flame, the warehouse burns all at once, and the two old men are of course no exception.

But people are not goods, people will hurt, they will cry, they will shout.

The arsonist didn't avoid them when they poured gasoline, and the two of them got a lot of it on them, so no matter how much they rolled on the ground, the fire only got bigger and bigger.

The flesh was dehydrated and charred little by little, and the pain was indescribable, and the last bit of life of the two old men was spent in endless howls.

The whole process lasted six or seven minutes, and eventually, the rest of them stuck to the security door and stood upright, ending their painful lives......

"It's on fire, come and put out the fire! Come on! 119 received a call from the police and rushed to the Jiangbei Small Commodities Wholesale Market not long after.

The security door was broken down, along with the bodies of two elderly people who had been burned beyond recognition. The goods in the warehouse have been burned almost, after the effect of gasoline combustion continues, only the third floor of the merchant itself is a simple color steel tile material, still burning, the firefighters received water from a long distance, but the pressure is not enough, it is not as high as the third floor, they spent a day and a night to completely extinguish the fire.

As expected, this time the two elderly people who were killed were also burned alive. What is even worse than Uncle Yuan is that they were doused with gasoline, burned very thoroughly, and died quite painfully.

Everyone present was silent.

How perverted is it to burn people alive? Why don't you look for younger characters who can protect you, and always look for older people?

Uncle Yuan's incident may have been an accident, but Uncle Yuan appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time. What about these two?

Two lonely old men, dependent on each other, living on a pitiful amount of money for a month, did not recruit anyone, did not provoke anyone, and did not cause trouble to the society, but they were silently trying to survive in the corner, but they died so miserably.

The police were furious. Who doesn't have an elderly person? Who doesn't have parents? But if you have a little humanity, even if you don't have the consciousness to help your grandmother cross the road, you won't kick it in public, right? How many tasteless people will trouble the elderly!

But the emotion of anger did not help solve the case at all. The murderer was very cunning and careful not to leave any clues, or rather, the clues that had been there were also destroyed by fire and water, leaving only a mess.

Half a month later, when the police could no longer investigate and were about to classify it as an unsolved case, the video on the Internet came out again.

This time, the Internet police were prepared and reacted very quickly, and the video was intercepted almost as soon as it came out, and of course the version on the Internet was deleted immediately, and even the network address of the person who uploaded the video was also found out.

Unfortunately, it was a step too late, and when the Internet police arrived at the Internet café marked by the IP address, they only had time to find a back figure wearing a hat from the surveillance, and the Internet café staff couldn't tell what he looked like.

All in all, no clues.

This time, the video can make the viewers angry and frightened at the same time.

The murderer never left! He used his mobile phone to record how the two old men struggled and screamed in the last minutes of their lives.

In the firefighting process after that, the murderer was always there! Because there was a residential area not far from the wholesale market, there were many onlookers at that time.

Many people were holding their phones to film the warehouse on fire.

With the first lesson, this time, the firefighters also took a lot of photos of the surrounding people in addition to fighting the fire, hoping that they can come in handy when identifying the murderer in the future. (To be continued......)
