Chapter Twenty-Three: This Is the Truth
The light of the computer screen was projected on Mo Xiaochuan's face, revealing a strange whiteness.
Obviously, the surveillance video in front of me has been edited, focusing on the scenes before and after the fire in the new century a year ago.
The whole video is not very long, and it is roughly divided into three stages.
On fire.
Escape.
Death.
Mo Xiaochuan watched all the surveillance videos in silence, and unconsciously clenched his fists, and then the phone in his hand suddenly rang.
Mo Xiaochuan glanced down at the caller ID, hesitated, and finally answered.
"Team Hao. β
"Xiaochuan! We have found out here that the fourth victim you mentioned, Wang Lei, is now a graduate student at the University of Posts and Posts, so he lives on Nanshan, not far from Qingshui Street!"
Mo Xiaochuan did not speak.
"I have already notified Xiaoma and the police from the Nanshan Police Station to rush to Wang Lei's dormitory, but you said before that the murderer may have some kind of means beyond common sense, so I want to ask you to ......"
"I see. β
Mo Xiaochuan hung up the phone expressionlessly, took a deep breath, and when he turned around, his face was already full of smiles.
"Thank you, Brother Li, I'll go first, you're busy. β
"Ah, good. β
Mo Xiaochuan walked out of the Nanshan Police Station, feeling as if he was hanging a thousand pounds of heavy burden in his heart, just now, he already knew the whole truth of this serial arson case.
But he preferred not to know anything.
Mo Xiaochuan walked on the street with a silent face, the crowd was bustling, and the temperature around him did not drop much because of the nightfall, but Mo Xiaochuan felt a little cold.
I don't know why, he suddenly misses the old guy a little.
Maybe it's because he has a lot to say at this time, and he has a very sad story to tell.
I just don't know who to say it to.
The Nanshan Police Station is not far from the University of Posts and Posts, and it normally takes a few minutes to walk, so Mo Xiaochuan quickly saw the new school gate, which is still a little deserted.
Mo Xiaochuan knew what kind of opponent he would face next, so he planned to take Ah Long with him in this battle, so naturally he was not in a hurry to enter the school.
He was going to go back to Clear Water Street first.
At the critical moment, Mo Xiaochuan knew that Ah Long and Huahua did not have the disadvantages of mobile phones.
But before Mo Xiaochuan could adjust his mood and go to Shanhai Bar to find reinforcements, he suddenly felt a chill in the corner of his eyes, and saw a somewhat familiar figure walking down from the taxi and walking towards the back of Carrexi Supermarket.
Although Mo Xiaochuan had only seen this person on the surveillance video, he recognized him at the first time.
Wang Lei!
He's still alive!
And it's not in the dormitory of the University of Posts and Posts!
It was just a moment of stunned work, the figure had disappeared from Mo Xiaochuan's line of sight, and it was only at this time that Mo Xiaochuan suddenly thought of something, his heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't have time to inform Hao De or Ah Long, but chased after him single-handedly.
A few minutes later, Mo Xiaochuan came to the back door of Carrexi supermarket with a heart, more precisely, this is an emergency escape route.
It was newly renovated after the fire last year.
In normal times, the door would have been closed from the inside, but now, the door is open.
Mo Xiaochuan looked around, picked up a broken brick from the ground, weighed it, and then walked in.
"Wang Lei!"
As soon as he entered the door, Mo Xiaochuan found that the light inside was a little dim, so he couldn't care much about it, so he directly let go of his voice and shouted.
"Who?"
A black shadow turned back from not far ahead, looking at Mo Xiaochuan with some surprise.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaochuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that Zhao Ming hadn't had time to make a move.
But at this moment, a firelight suddenly lit up from the corner, and at the same time, a somewhat thin and hideous face was reflected.
"Who are you?"
The same question, asked from two different people, has very different meanings.
The former is just a simple question.
The latter is an inquiry.
Mo Xiaochuan looked at the red fire feather in the other party's hand, swallowed his saliva secretly, and then spoke: "You are Zhao Ming, right? My name is Mo Xiaochuan, I am the owner of the bar on Qingshui Street, and I am also a student of the University of Posts and Posts. β
Wang Lei was obviously startled by the firelight in Zhao Ming's hand, and took several steps backwards one after another, and the whole person was stuck to the wall.
"Who the hell are you, and what do you want to do here?"
Mo Xiaochuan sighed: "You should have seen him, the fire in the New Century a year ago, both of you are survivors." β
When the words fell, Wang Lei's face immediately changed.
The deaths of Shen Yun and Xie Tianhao had already spread in their undergraduate class, and Wang Lei didn't think much about it, just thinking that the little couple had provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with, but now after Mo Xiaochuan's reminder, he realized something.
"You, you are the guy who knelt at the door of the KTV and cried for a long time!"
Zhao Ming didn't speak, so Mo Xiaochuan replied for him: "Two of his friends died in that fire, and his girlfriend Chen Shasha was severely burned, although she was rescued by the hospital, she ......"
"Say no more!"
Zhao Ming roared violently, and the flames in his hand immediately soared several meters upward, and the scorching heat scorched Mo Xiaochuan's entire back soaked with sweat.
Wang Lei is not stupid, looking at this situation, he immediately knew what Zhao Ming wanted to do, and immediately said: "Dude, don't be impulsive! That fire has nothing to do with me! It's just an accident! If you want revenge, you should also go to the boss of the new century, it's because he didn't check the line regularly, and the people from the fire department, how did they pass the audit in the first place......"
I have to say that Wang Lei's logic is impeccable, and the response is not unfast, but it's a pity......
"The fire was indeed an accident, but in the early days of the fire, Xu Cheng, the front desk waiter of KTV, had a chance to extinguish the fire, but he escaped by himself, and you were the first person to discover the fire besides Xu Cheng, but you only notified Shen Yun and Xie Tianhao, and when you passed by the A13 private room, you didn't even look inside. β
Hearing this, Wang Lei suddenly became anxious: "How did I know that there were people inside!"
"No, you know. Mo Xiaochuan's voice was a little sad.
"Although the sound insulation effect of the New Century private room is much better than that of Sing Ledi, when passing through the private room, you must be able to hear the singing from inside, on the contrary, it is difficult for the people inside to hear the movement outside the door, so Chen Shasha and the others missed the best time to escape. β
"No, it's not like this, it's not like this......" Wang Lei was dripping with hot sweat on his head, and his feet were a little soft.
Zhao Ming looked at him indifferently, then suddenly turned his head to Mo Xiaochuan and said, "Sasha is not my girlfriend. β
Mo Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, and then heard the second half of Zhao Ming's words.
"I had just gotten a job that day and bought the cheapest diamond ring at Tai Fook Gold Store and planned to surprise Sasha and propose to her, so in my heart, she was my fiancΓ©e. β
