Chapter 584: The Sky Has Eyes
"It's always been good, but now it doesn't seem to be." The man said, glancing at the ground and asking, "What's going on?" ”
Lin Xu shook his head, also with a sad look, and said, "I also want to know what's going on." Would you believe me if I said it had nothing to do with us? ”
"Believe it or not, the evidence has the final say. As long as you don't try to escape, you're the first suspect. The policeman spoke simply, although he didn't immediately control Lin Xu, but he kept making his position clear.
Just because I don't arrest you now doesn't mean you're innocent. Moreover, the matter should be handled by the local police.
Lin Xu looked at Ye Qianqian and Lu Shaoxi, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped talking.
The man told the others to call the police, and he cautiously walked into the house. He also knew that if Lin Xu wanted to escape, they had no way to stop him, but now it was better to believe what he said, and wait for the results of the investigation to come out.
He walked into the room and found that everything was fine inside, except that the room was a little damp and there was a faint smell of mold, but the whole space still looked clean.
He has been a police officer for so many years, and he can imagine that the individuals who were burned to death outside must not be the owners of this house. Now this generation is engaged in demolition and expansion, even if you don't ask much, you can learn more or less about the situation.
"Anyone?" The man asked aloud.
Ahem!
There was an old man's cough in the back room, which sounded weak, as if something was wrong with his body.
The man heard that there was someone inside, but did not respond, and walked in. Finding that it was very dark inside, he stood in the doorway, let his eyes adjust to the environment inside, and then continued to walk inside.
There is a small window on the wall of the house, but it is facing the east, and it is already sunset, and the light does not shine in, and there is no electricity in it, so it seems very dark.
The furnishings inside are simple, a wooden bed, a wooden wardrobe, a wooden table and a chair, and nothing else.
On the bed lay an old man with gray hair, his eyes were half-closed, he looked like he had difficulty opening his eyes, and his face was still wounded, as if he had been beaten by someone.
The man was very surprised, what kind of guy would do something to such an old man.
"Sir, do you live here alone?" He didn't want any of the people burned to death outside to have relatives of the elderly, otherwise he might have died directly.
"Ahem. The hooligans have also become polite, and the sun is really hitting the west. What do you want today? Did you come and ask for my life? The old man said.
The man listened to his words, although he didn't know what was going on, but he could guess a general direction.
"Sir, I happened to be passing by here, and something happened outside, so come in and have a look." The man behaved reasonably, his voice was not very loud, nor very small, so that the old man could hear it clearly.
"Passing by? So what's going on out there? The old man coughed twice, put his hands on the bed, and sat up with all his might.
The man didn't look at it, but went up to help, and asked, "Old man, where is your family?" ”
The old man looked at him for a while before he said, "Young man, I think you are from another place." I have only one grace in my life, and I have no children and no daughters. ”
"Alone?" The man's voice suddenly became a little abnormal, and even he didn't know what kind of emotion he belonged to at the moment.
"Who are you?" The old man asked.
"It's a business, and when I just passed by outside, I found that there was a situation here in your house, so I came to take a look." The man lied.
The old man looked him up and down, the corners of his mouth moved, and he said quietly: "Businessman? Young man, although I am old, my eyes are not very good, but I can see something. You're not a businessman. ”
The man frowned slightly, then hooked the corners of his mouth, did not dwell on his identity, but inquired about the old man's condition, asked him what was the injury on his face, and whether he wanted to send him to the hospital.
The old man shook his head and said, "It's useless to go to the hospital." I know what I'm doing. I didn't expect that I was heroic on the battlefield, and I didn't even pay attention to foreign special combat personnel. Now he is going to be bullied by a few little deflated three, what kind of world is this. Young man, I can smell the smell of burning gasoline outside, and the loud screams, what is going on outside? ”
The man was depressed for a moment, but he still told the truth. Since the deceased was not his family member, he must have known that he would not be greatly stimulated, and he could guess what was going on.
"What, burned? How many people are there? ”
"About five or six." The man said.
"I've got to go out and have a look." The old man struggled to get up.
The man saw that he had some difficulty getting out of bed, and hurriedly helped him. The old man did not refuse, but shook his head and sighed. "Back then, I was carrying my comrades. Now, when I'm old, I actually need someone to help me get out of bed, which is really unforgiving. ”
The man didn't speak, and between the lines he could hear that this was a veteran soldier who had participated in the Anti-Japanese War. He also belongs to the military, he has a lot of respect for this kind of veteran, and he feels why this veteran is so miserable in his old age, it seems that the local government departments have really not done a good job.
The man walked out with the old man in his arms, and when he saw four or five or six charred corpses lying on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, and walked straight towards one of them, and his pace became faster.
Looking at the corpse, the old man became a little excited, looked up at the people present, and asked, "Who did it?" ”
The police naturally looked at Lin Xu and them. And Lin Xu and the others stood stunned, looking at this old man, he should be the old man.
"Is this what you did?" The old man asked again.
The man looked at Lin Xu, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Lin Xu stepped forward and said, "We also came here when we smelled the smell of burning gasoline. I didn't see who did it. ”
The old man looked at a corpse on the ground for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
The man who was holding him secretly screamed in his heart, is this old man really stimulated, there are so many people dead, what is so funny.
Could it be that these are his enemies? But it's all burned like this, can he recognize it?
"Old man, do you know who this is?" The man asked.
"I know, I know, how could I not know, I know that he is turning to ashes. Hmph, it's really towering with eyes, towering with eyes. The old man said loudly, and suddenly coughed violently twice, and actually coughed up blood.
Lin Xu hurriedly stepped forward to take his hand, probed his pulse, and secretly screamed in his heart, this old man's internal problems are serious, I am afraid that his life is in danger at any time, even if he is sent to the hospital, I am afraid that it will last for a few days.
"Grandpa, who is this?" Lin Xu asked.
"He's our village chief. I knew he was coming today, and I had been waiting for him to come. Hahaha, I didn't expect him to be burned to death. Although I don't know who did it, but it is indeed a good person who does chivalry and righteousness to eliminate harm for the people, a good person. The old man said loudly, but his voice became more and more muffled.
Everyone was surprised, the corpse on the ground had been burned beyond recognition, and this old man could still recognize him as the village chief?
Comparing the other corpses, I saw that the one was older, and the belly seemed to be larger.
If you know enough about the village director, maybe you can really guess eight out of ten. Moreover, the old man knew that the village chief was back, so he could be sure that this person was him.
"God has eyes. God has" said this, the old man coughed again, did not say the last word, laughed, and fell into the man's arms.
Lin Xu was startled, hurriedly probed, and found that he had no heartbeat and no breath, let out a long sigh, and shook his head at the policeman.
When the man learned that the old man had died, his face was not very good.
Everyone didn't leave, just waiting for the arrival of the local police, and Lin Xu and the others had just arrived in Los Angeles, and they didn't expect to go to the police station again, which made him a little crying and laughing.
After asking about his name, gender, age, and occupation, the police asked why Lin Xu appeared in that place.
Lin Xu also confessed honestly, saying that they had come to Los Angeles to play, and they heard someone talking about the elderly who were lonely, so they wanted to see what could help, but who knew that something like that happened happened.
And during the interrogation of Ye Qianqian and Lu Shaoxi, what they said was almost no different from what Lin Xu said.
Although they were found at the scene, there is no evidence that the three of them did it. Their motive for killing could not be found.
As a last resort, after being locked up for twenty-four hours, they had no choice but to let them go.
The policeman who assisted in escorting the criminals here naturally told Captain Zhong of Yunle the news of Lin Xu's appearance in Los Angeles as soon as possible.
Captain Zhong was surprised to learn that Lin Xu was here, but he also felt that this was expected.
Lin Xu didn't make any moves earlier, so he inquired about the whereabouts of the criminal's escort. Now that he's here, I think he knows that the criminal was being escorted here.
"Captain, what should I do? Do you want the local police to arrest them? ”
"No, I know what they're going to do there. It's just that there was something wrong with me, and I wanted him to help me, but I didn't expect him to run there. ”
"Captain, what's wrong?"
"It's inconvenient on the phone, you come back quickly." Captain Zhong said.
The man said yes, saying that he would return immediately.
Lin Xu and they went to the police station this time, but nothing happened. Because it was Captain Zhong's person who told the local police about Lin Xu's general situation, the police didn't embarrass him, lest this kid mess up.
For the name Lin Xu, the Los Angeles police are naturally no stranger. If this guy doesn't know, then it's too unprofessional.
It's just that Lin Xu suddenly appeared here, which made some leaders in Los Angeles a little big, this kid is doing things in Yunle every day, and now he has appeared in Los Angeles, and something is happening here, I just hope he can travel well and leave, don't do anything here.
"That old man is really pitiful." Ye Qianqian sighed.
"It's actually okay to see your enemy die before you die. Now the government departments don't want to make things bigger, and they will deal with the aftermath of the old man in the future. Lin Xu said.
"What do we do next?" Ye Qianqian asked.
