Chapter 71: The Hidden Danger of the Fire
There are many hidden stories about the fire in the grocery store, and the content of this piece of paper provided by Ciris cannot be described as exhaustive, but it can also be called the key.
The fire broke out on July 9, 1815, and at midnight the Grants' grocery store caught fire, and in just half an hour, the fire became uncontrollable.
On the one hand, this situation is due to the fact that the area where the grocery store is located is only an ordinary civilian area, and the fire and disaster prevention facilities are not perfect, and it is midnight, and most people have already fallen asleep.
On the other hand, the fire started really quickly, and when the police station got the news and rushed to the scene, the entire grocery store had been destroyed.
The next police report will be interesting.
"Ciris, the original version of this report shouldn't be an official report document, right?"
Donald took the paper, and the contents on it made him confirm that this was definitely not an internal report from the police department, and that some of the contents in it, were too detailed!
Yes, precisely because it was too detailed, it was unusual after the case was intervened by other forces at the time.
"How did the senior know? That report was my father's manuscript, and he used to write a report on every case he handled, and kept it in his private collection, so that he could immediately take it out for reference when he encountered similar cases in the future. ”
Ciris sat down next to Donald and looked at him in amazement.
"Because it's too colloquial, ordinary official written reports don't do this, I don't think you should add your own thoughts when you transcribe it, right?"
Just find a reason to prevaricate.
Paragraph 2, line 3: After the fire, the location of the two bodies appeared in front of the counter of the grocery store, the location was suspicious, at midnight, the two people were awakened by the fire, if the fire was too large, the second floor of the grocery store was only about three meters above the ground, there should be a better choice.
Paragraph 2, line 6: I don't think it's easy to see that there are multiple broken walls, broken load-bearing columns, and a large depression in the center of the counter in the grocery store, which is not caused by a fire.
Paragraph 3, line 5: Wade Cloun examines the body and finds......
"Why is it gone when you find it here?"
"Because my father's manuscript was followed by a large blackout, I couldn't see what he had written before. ”
"yes, I see. ”
The blacking out means that there was indeed content before, but it was deliberately erased later, and the disclosure of information to be avoided even in private manuscripts also proves that the denial of the predecessor's death certificate in the bank is indeed true, and it is not a personal conjecture.
There were other forces involved, and the power was so great that the sheriff had to make a change.
"Is it a big black out next?"
From the third paragraph onwards, the following content does not analyze the situation of the corpse and the special phenomena at the scene, let alone personal opinions, only some rough records, which are intermittent and fragmented.
The only thing that caught Donald's attention was the last paragraph.
The Law of Man, God's Will?
8 words, 2 question marks, meaningful.
"How's that, is there any important information?"
For the information she has worked hard to obtain, Ciris is very concerned.
"Yes, and a lot, and it gives me a lot of inspiration, Ciris, and although I have said it before, I would like to stress that this matter must be kept secret and not known to anyone except the two of us. ”
Solemnly putting away the paper, Donald silently remembered the above in his mind.
"Of course, it's a secret between the two of us, senior, and I'll help you. ”
What are some good ways to get closer to people?
Creating a secret that only both parties know is one of the best ways to do this, as an exclusive secret becomes a special bond of affection.
Ciris's current situation is like this, she thinks that she and Donald are already companions to a certain extent, so subconsciously, she will start to think about Donald.
Of course, there may also be emotions such as pity, and if there is anyone who cares the most in the grocery store fire, it is of course the son of the Grant couple in front of him.
There is no reason why a person who has lost a parent should not understand the cause of his or her own death.
"Thank you, I will remember this kindness...... Ciris, is there a rooftop in the main teaching building at Godot University?"
As Donald spoke, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of several dark shadows on the roof of the school building in the distance.
"Did you forget, senior? The main teaching building is not only a rooftop, but also a small garden, which has plants planted in various departments, why do you suddenly ask like this?"
Ciris tied her hair, her gaze lingering on Donald's face from time to time.
"It's nothing, I saw a figure on the rooftop over there, and I thought someone was going to jump off the building, but I have a poor memory, and I graduated for a few months, and I can't even remember the things on the rooftop on the main teaching building, let's go, let's go back, stay here, and be seen later, it will be misunderstood." ”
"Huh, I ...... I don't mind, we're going back, it's almost dinner time, should you go to the school cafeteria? ”
He replied in a low voice, then realized that something was wrong, turned away from Donald, and changed the subject loudly.
However, the cheeks that had been flushed a moment ago turned pale at this moment.
"I really jumped!"
Donald's gaze had always been there, he had a bad premonition before, he always felt that the outermost black shadow was a little too close to the edge of the rooftop, who would have thought that the moment Sirith turned around, the figure suddenly jumped forward and flew down head.
"Senior, let's take a look!"
As the sheriff's daughter, Ciris's first reaction to this kind of thing was not to stay away, but to run straight in that direction.
Donald looked down at his pocket watch, half past five, and immediately followed.
This kind of incident is undoubtedly eye-catching, not to mention that the other party chose the main teaching building of Godot University, although it is now past the class time, there are still students coming and going.
As expected, when the two of them ran to the scene, the place was already solidly surrounded, and the crowd was extremely noisy.
"Ciris, are you sure you want to go in and see?"
The school building is about a few tens of meters high, and jumping down from the rooftop, head down, the corpse can definitely give people nightmares.
The screams in the front row are proof enough.
Donald is shy away from this kind of thing, he doesn't want to go in and have a look just to join in the fun, and then can't sleep all night, now that the matter is so big, I believe that a professional team will come to solve it soon.
"Hey, who is the one who died, why did you jump off the building? And in our school building, is it a student at Godot University?"
There are also newcomers nearby who can't wait to find out.
"Nonsense, I heard that it was a female student from the Department of Economics, who stayed on the rooftop for a while, and the dean and tutors didn't persuade her, why did she jump? The reason is not simple......
At this point, the two of them squeezed forward again, as if they didn't look at what they had lost.
You're done!
