"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for protecting my mother all the way and bringing my mother out, right? Thank you for your hard work. Li Xie said as he stretched out his hand to caress Cao Ying's face.

Li Xie has never been to the scene, so he doesn't know what the situation is at the scene, but Yixue has flammable materials on her body, but she can walk out of the fire without hurting a single hair, which is indispensable to Cao Ying's credit.

"Don't say that." Cao Ying turned her face sideways, as well-behaved as a cat enjoying the owner's petting.

"So this matter ......" Cao Ying didn't say anything more here, but Cao Ying knew that her little lover understood what she meant.

"Don't pay too much attention to it, the people from the government should come to the door, and when the time comes, you will know everything." made things so obvious, Li Xie really can't guess what the people behind the scenes want to do.

However, Yixue has always rarely had grudges and hatreds with others, let alone this kind of thing involving life and death. So in his mind, it should be just a chance meeting, not a targeted target for Yixue.

Li Xie has no official position now, although his identity is extraordinary, but in the end, it is still difficult to meddle in the affairs of the government's investigation. Therefore, he can only wait for the government to come to the door before assisting in the investigation as a victim.

"Then you can take this with you." Cao Ying said, took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Li Xie's hand, this bag was the emperor's order.

"You didn't hand this thing back?" The power of the emperor's representative is too great, Li Xie couldn't have imagined that Li Zhanji would take it with Cao Ying.

"I handed it in, and when I came out, the emperor was giving it to me again."

"It's a lot easier to do with this thing, let's go to the scene and have a look."

Li Xie said, took Cao Ying's hand and walked out.

"When I got to the fire, I realized that something was not right. And when I was saving my mother, there was a sound of a crockpot breaking, and with that sound of breaking, a fire dragon erupted from the room. I think someone was in there at the time, and they dropped the jar full of sumac sap. ”

"As expected, when I saw the smoke from the fire, I felt that something was wrong. Although the wood used to make the house is resistant to burning, it should be very dry after a long time of exposure to the sun, and it should burn very clean after being lit, and there should not be so black smoke.

And have you ever thought that with such a big fire, there is definitely no way for ordinary people to come out of it. So the person behind the scenes, or the person who lit the fire, should still be in the room. ”

"After hearing the sound of the jar breaking, I really didn't see anyone coming out. But such a big fire should be ......" Cao Ying heard Li Xie say this, and after thinking about it for a while, she said this with certainty, and then thought with certainty that if the person was still inside, he would definitely be burned to death.

So he suddenly stopped talking because he suddenly thought that if the younger brother in the room had a secret room, people would survive.

"That's right, there should be a secret room or a secret passage or something, but I think the secret passage is more likely. When the sumac sap burns, there will be a lot of black smoke, and these dark nights may not have time to drift out of the house because of the spread of the fire. It's possible to drill underground, and if it's just a secret room, it's easy to suffocate inside.

Judging by the rare materials he can use when lighting a fire, you know that this man must be an expert at playing with fire. I don't think I would make such a low-level mistake. ”

Li Xie and Cao Ying discussed while walking towards Mafu. After arriving at Mafu, the people of the government had already blocked the front and back doors of Mafu, and idlers were not allowed to enter.

The people blocking the door are some quick catchers or hired handymen and the like. Even if Li Xie took out the imperial decree, these people would definitely not know him.

Besides, there is a good saying: Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult. It's completely impossible to quarrel with these little people here.

So Li Xie simply pulled Cao Ying directly over the courtyard wall and walked in. Cao Ying led the way to the place where the fire was on fire, and saw a person in an official uniform shouting and drinking there at this time, commanding everyone loudly.

The fire was almost invisible, but the wood had not been completely burned, and it was still emitting thick white smoke. Standing in this small courtyard still feels very choked.

Cao Ying took out a handkerchief and handed it to Li Xie, and at the same time picked up her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose.

"You don't have to use it yourself." Li Xie pushed Cao Ying's hand holding the handkerchief, but continued to walk forward with a frown.

After coming closer, the people from the government finally noticed the two of them scolding loudly:

"What man, stop!"

"The villain's surname is Li, and my mother just left here, so I can be considered one of the victims." Maybe it's just such a big fire. The catchers were unusually cautious, and after scolding, they pulled out half of their knives.

After Li Xie said this, the man took the knife back. Such a loud scolding voice certainly attracted everyone's attention. However, Li Xie and Cao Ying have not been out since they moved to this small county, and at this time, none of the people who looked at the courtyard knew each other.

After Cao Ying looked around for a week, she pointed to a catcher who was following behind the man in an official uniform: "That catcher, I know that I left with my mother." ”

Of course, Cao Ying said this to Li Xie, but the volume of her speech was not small, and the little catcher who stopped in front of him also heard it, he looked back and saw Cao Ying pointing to the person who was waiting for him, who was his own head, his own head, and nodded at himself, so he quickly got out of the way and signaled that the two of them could go in.

After Cao Ying and Li Xie came to the front smoothly, Li Xie didn't talk much nonsense, and immediately took out the imperial decree. The person in front of him was wearing an official uniform, and looking at the costume of his official uniform, it should be Jiupin.

Officials who have reached the upper rank are generally trained, so he should know that the thing Li Xie is holding in his hand is the emperor's order.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Sure enough, he was still a decent official, and when he saw this token, he immediately knelt down. At the same time, he shouted long live!

"Okay, who are you?"

"The villain is the county commander here, I don't know what the adults have to do when they come here?"

"You can put out the fire as usual." Li Xie didn't talk to him while putting away the imperial decree.

The county order did not dare to delay, perhaps to show that the reprimand was louder, and after directing everyone to break the blackened wood, he finally carried out several corpses inside.

Li Xie stepped forward to check it out, and he didn't know anything about how to perform an autopsy or anything like that. But I still know a little bit of common sense, and I know that if a person is burned after death, there should be no ashes in the throat, but these things can't be seen on the surface.

Li Xie approached and came to watch at this time, but he was just pretending to take a look. After glancing at it twice, he ignored it and walked straight to the house.

A lot of things in the room had been scorched, and after Li Xie looked around, he bent down and picked up a wooden stick, knocked left and right, and walked all the way inside.

Cao Ying followed him the whole time, without saying a word or asking. The man also picked up a stick and beat it all over the ground.

Because it's a tunnel or a secret room to escape, it can only be on the first floor. And the area on the first floor is not large, Li Xie and Cao Ying are still very fast, and they have checked all the places.

"Nope." It's very strange, both of them are very confident, and they feel that their guess will definitely not be a problem. I searched around, but I didn't find anything.

Except for two load-bearing walls on this floor, almost all the floors have been searched by the two of them. No hollow places were found, which means that no secret rooms or accomplices were found.

Can the man who smashed the jar still stew out of thin air?

The two desperate people searched carefully again, but they still didn't find anything.

Li Xie stopped and carefully observed the furnishings in the room. Putting all possibilities aside, no matter how incredible the rest is, is a fact.

There must have been such a big fire at that time, and the sound of cans being smashed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and since somebody is in there, they're definitely leaving. Because being burned by fire is a very painful thing.

Li Xie didn't believe that anyone could rely on perseverance to endure not screaming after his whole body was on fire. And when I just looked at the corpses, although the corpses were all burned black, I could still see that there was not much struggle.

A person who can smash a jar means that he is awake, burned alive by fire, and it is impossible not to struggle. Cao Ying didn't hear the screams of pain when she was outside, which just proves this.

"If it's not on the ground, then it's only really ......," Li Xie said, looking at the load-bearing wall.

This load-bearing wall is not wide, but if you are a petite person, you can still dig a gap in the wall to get in.

Li Xie carefully searched along the load-bearing wall, and after some beating, he still didn't find anything.

None of them, what the hell?

Li Xie frowned, and after exiting the house, he searched in the small courtyard. After everyone trampled on it, this small courtyard was already in chaos.

However, after a closer look, there was still a strange phenomenon that caught his attention.

There was a very straight trail of burning that ran from the inside of the house, along the windows to the outside floor.

This fine mark......

Li Xie walked straight forward in the direction of the trace, knocking on the floor with the wooden side as he walked.

When he was about to get close to the wall, a different sound suddenly came from the wooden plank that was tapping on the ground with his hand.

Li Xie leaned down, raised his fist and slammed it down. After hearing the clatter of wooden planks, he fell down.

After Cao Ying exclaimed in surprise when she saw this, she hurriedly jumped down.

The man had fallen for about three meters before his feet hit the ground. After observing it on its own, I realized that this was actually a passage.

From here, it can be seen that the speculation of the two people has come true.
