Chapter 21: Survivors

If you want to know the causes and consequences of the fire in the New Century KTV a year ago, and whether there are any omissions in the investigation, the most direct and simple way is, of course, to ask Director Wang.

So in desperation, Mo Xiaochuan could only turn his head and walk towards the bathroom of the supermarket.

Director Wang was accompanying Ma Kaiye to investigate the scene at this time.

"Team Leader Ma, this is ...... from the previous two murders"

Ma Kaiye nodded: "It should be the same person who did it." ”

"But...... But how did the murderer do it? Even if the deceased was drenched in gasoline, it would not have been possible for him to be burned alive in such a short period of time, and he would not even have a chance to call for help!"

Ma Kaiye glanced at Director Wang, and said solemnly: "Investigating the murderer's modus operandi is originally your duty and mine, can you ask me here to find out the truth?"

The cold sweat on Director Wang's head came down again, and he said again and again: "Team Leader Ma taught me a lesson, so let's go and ask the student who found the body now?"

Ma Kaiye nodded, took off his gloves, and walked out, just in time to meet Mo Xiaochuan later.

"Director Wang, I want to ask, what happened to the fire at the New Century KTV a year ago?"

Director Wang was stunned, just now he wanted to ask who this little guy was, but seeing that Ma Kaiye didn't mean to take the initiative to introduce, he didn't have much to say, but now the other party suddenly wants to ask about the case a year ago, if under normal circumstances, he can't disclose the specific details.

Ma Kaiye also had a headache in his eyes, he really didn't know how to explain Mo Xiaochuan's identity, so he could only say in a deep voice: "What are you asking for?"

Mo Xiaochuan pursed his lips and said: "I just asked the manager of this supermarket, the deceased Xu Cheng used to be a waiter at the New Century KTV a year ago, and then the New Century was burned by a fire, and he didn't work there until more than a month ago, and he came back to this supermarket as a cashier." ”

"Come back?"

"The predecessor of this supermarket is New Century KTV. ”

Ma Kaiye frowned secretly: "Is there any connection between the two?"

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "I don't know for the time being, but the new century was burned by a fire, and now the murderer of this serial arson case also uses fire, I think it is necessary to investigate." ”

Ma Kaiye hesitated for a moment, but finally turned to Director Wang and asked, "Is there a problem with the fire a year ago?"

Hearing this, Director Wang hurriedly shook his head and said: "There is absolutely no problem! The cause of the fire was caused by a short circuit in the line, and the fire brigade checked it three times, plus the surveillance video at the time of the fire, and finally determined that it was an accident!"

Ma Kaiye nodded and turned to look at Mo Xiaochuan.

But Mo Xiaochuan still didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Can you tell us more specifically? For example, what was the number of casualties at that time? How many survivors were there? On the day of the fire, this Xu Cheng was not at the scene?"

"When the fire broke out, it was daytime, and it was not a holiday, so there were relatively few customers at New Century at that time, and the final death toll was two, one person was seriously burned, and the survivors, excluding the waiters of New Century, were about four or five. ”

For the first two questions, Director Wang opened his mouth to come, after all, this case was sponsored by him, and in such a small place as Nanshan, in fact, there are very few major cases, and the fire in the new century a year ago is already a very serious case.

Therefore, regarding the casualty figures, Director Wang has a very deep memory.

But whether Xu Cheng was also on the list of survivors that day, Director Wang didn't know, and he had to go back to the office to check the file.

Mo Xiaochuan pondered for a moment, and finally asked a question: "Then do you remember the exact date of the fire?"

This question is not a secret, in fact, even if you don't ask Director Wang, Mo Xiaochuan can find it on the Internet.

"On June 17th, if I remember correctly, it was the time when the University of Posts and Posts was about to break off, and many students were studying for exams, which is one of the reasons why there were fewer people going to New Century that day. ”

Hearing this, Mo Xiaochuan's eyes immediately darkened, because this didn't seem to be consistent with his guess.

"What are you asking for?" Ma Kaiye was sharp-minded.

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head: "I always feel that the murderer of this serial arson case is too anxious, just like ...... It's like he's in a hurry, especially Xu Cheng, who died today, is a little different from the previous two victims. ”

Although the final test results have not yet come out, at least judging from the scene, the murderer did not leave any footprints, fingerprints or other evidence, and the time of the murder was extremely short, perfectly avoiding all the surveillance cameras, which is the same as the previous two cases. ”

Mo Xiaochuan said in a deep voice: "I mean, the murderer can obviously choose a better place to commit the crime, such as waiting for Xu Cheng to get off work, and then do it in an alley without surveillance video, which is definitely much lower than the risk of committing a crime in a supermarket, in fact, he did this in the previous two cases, why did he ...... this time"

"So what? What's your conclusion?"

"So...... I originally thought that the murderer had something to do with the fire of the New Century a year ago, and that he wanted to complete all the crimes before a certain time, such as the death of someone who died in the fire, but now it seems that this theory is not true. ”

The New Century Fire broke out on June 17 last year, but now it's September, and the two times don't coincide.

Ma Kaiye shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I said a long time ago, you can't rely on putting the set you watch in novels and TV series into reality, don't be fanciful, if you really want to help, just follow me and ask witnesses, watch more, learn more, think more, and talk less!"

Mo Xiaochuan found that Ma Kaiye's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a little, but this did not mean that he accepted Ma Kaiye's opinion.

So when Ma Kaiye and Director Wang turned around and walked out, Mo Xiaochuan stood motionless and grabbed Director Wang's clothes.

"I would like to see the dossier of the New Century fire a year ago. ”

"Nonsense!" Ma Kaiye turned his head and looked at Mo Xiaochuan with hatred on his face, his heart full of disappointment.

But Mo Xiaochuan was unmoved.

"Regardless of the final outcome, it's the only clue I've found, and I want to try. ”

"You ......"

Seeing that Ma Kaiye was about to go crazy, Mo Xiaochuan looked calm, and took out his mobile phone to add fuel to the fire.

"Team Leader Ma, I insist on doing this, if you don't give me authorization, I'll go to Team Hao to talk to you. ”

Ma Kaiye had a blue face, if his eyes could kill, Mo Xiaochuan would have already been in a different place at this time, and ten thousand arrows would pierce his heart.

"Show him!"

After speaking, Ma Kaiye turned around and left, he really didn't want to see Mo Xiaochuan anymore, otherwise he was worried that he would not be able to control his hands, so he pulled out his gun and beat Mo Xiaochuan into a sieve.

Director Wang looked at Ma Kaiye and then at Mo Xiaochuan, and felt that his head was too big.

What's going on!

What a saint this kid is!

can actually make the team leader angry like that, and he looks helpless!

Isn't it the son of a prince, noble, and marquis!

What should I do next? Will the dossier be given or not?

In the end, Mo Xiaochuan gave him a smile on his face.

"Director Wang, you also heard what Team Leader Ma said just now, hurry up and show me the file of the New Century Fire a year ago, if something happens, Team Leader Ma will be responsible......
