Chapter 29: The City of Harbours (5)
"It's a secondary burn." This is Chen Dawei's current conclusion, this abandoned warehouse really has nothing to search after coming in, it is empty, and there are black smoke traces on the floor and on the wall, but the problem is that there are two differences between the distance between the floor and the black smoke on the wall in some areas above the floor, and the distance between the wall and the black smoke on the wall, the floor is easy to be dyed black after wiping it with a finger just now, but if you compare the black smoke traces on the wall, there will be no such situation. That's because it's been air-dried for a long time, and there are other ashes on it, so the marks on the floor are obviously burned by the secondary flames, and it's recent!
The problem is that no one is aware of this! That is to say, after everyone comes in, don't talk about the traces of the second burning, that is, the first impression here should be left in the abandoned warehouse that was burned for the first time, so the floor burned for the second time, is it covering up some clues left here? Now even if he wants to clean up, it is not something that Chen Dawei can do alone, he can only distinguish that the floor here has been burned for the second time in the near future, and he also guesses that before it was burned, there are some clues left on the ground, but from the perspective of others, since no one doubts this, the second burning flame also has a certain particularity, first of all, in this empty warehouse, there is no combustible, if there is, some clues can be found here, For example, ashes and the like. There is also a very good sealing in this warehouse, no matter how the first fire burned, it was not completely burned here, at that time someone should have extinguished the fire, after that, the burned goods were also cleaned up by the previous boss, and then the remaining warehouse, basically only need to be renovated again can be used again, there is no problem at all, but it has been abandoned like this, although the place is remote, but it is not really that no one wants it, I don't know if there is anyone who obstructs it.
Let's first reason which kind of secondary flame the secondary burning flame belongs to! In fact, after perceiving that the floor had been burned again, Chen Dawei had a not-so-good idea in his heart, if there is no flame that can still burn without combustibles, it is probably only the flames of those two demon kingdoms! At first, the possibility of elemental magic or fighting energy was ruled out because the emitted energy would explode when it touched the object, just like what Chen Dawei himself tried at present, using the magic of a small fireball to shoot onto the ground, and the flames that exploded were splashed out, and the smoke traces that the ground could be blackened by these flames that lasted for a long time also presented a chaotic style, and the flames of this attack method probably had this effect, and replaced it with a more advanced magic, At the same time, it will bring greater movement, and it is also a problem to take it back when it is released, in addition, there are only people from the Demon Kingdom who can manipulate the flames, to say that this is not far from Tongzhou, and there is also a route to the Red Lotus Demon Kingdom surnamed Yan, which is very in line with the object that will be suspected at present! If you want to explain Zimo's kind of black flame, there is also a way to burn it like this, but Chen Dawei still suspects in his heart that the red lotus fire of Yanlong and Yanwu is a little more, because the characteristics of the heavenly fire are that there is no need for combustibles, and it can also be retracted and released freely.
It is suspected that the murderer is related to the people of the Red Lotus Demon Kingdom, so the next thing to figure out is what kind of secret is hidden in the floor that has been burned again? This murder scene has been designed for almost a long time, and at the same time, some of the truth is buried in it through the method of secondary burning, and the clues that normal people can see at a glance here are almost limited, as long as they are covered up well, and if they take some time, they will naturally succeed in deceiving it, but the bad is bad This place is too well designed, even the rainstorm in the morning did not penetrate in, and the clues on the floor were not washed away, if you think about it this way, did the murderer come with the people of the Canghai Dragon Clan? After making sure that this place is not suspected, you will feel at ease, right? On the ground that has been burned like this, it is very difficult to see some clues again, but it is not very difficult to estimate how large the burned range is, as long as you use the tip of the sword to scrape lightly on the floor, the place where the black ash can be produced is the burned range, this arsonist cannot burn the entire warehouse, at least he has to have a place to control the flames, control the range, and not let it have an accident that cannot be operated, not to mention, the location of the corpse is also not burned by the flames, This way of setting fires is probably a difficult operation that has been carried out to cover up some things on the floor.
The range can be roughly determined, almost two-thirds of the entire warehouse has been burned by flames again, and it is in the shape of a circle, probably digging deeper, unless there is some special magic to know what is depicted underneath, if you want to combine the real purpose of killing two dragons, maybe it is holding some special ritual or something? It's a pity that even if Chen Dawei has read a lot of books, he doesn't have any relevant memories in this regard, putting aside the grudge, what can the murderer get after killing the two dragons? Dragon's blood? Half a corpse? There is no answer to these questions no matter how much you think about it, since it is a person who is involved in the Red Lotus Demon Kingdom, if Yan Long should still be in Yongzhou City at this time, then it is really impossible to say that he will meet Yan Wu or something here, if he really encounters it, Chen Dawei really doesn't dare to think too much about other places!
Now he is not afraid that the murderer will appear in person, when the harbor city is blocked and he can't go out, the more anxious the real murderer is, the easier it will be to expose his identity, if it is Chen Dawei, he will definitely resist this impulse at this time, and do nothing as much as possible, the restlessness of others will unite sooner or later to resist the closure of the Canghai Dragon Clan, but the possibility that he will be noticed by the other party immediately is also quite high, and even the danger is also very high, It's just that for this kind of thing, Chen Dawei himself doesn't think it's too terrible, and he really wishes that the other party couldn't help but take the initiative to jump out, instead of continuing to investigate by himself!
And the people who doubt the Red Lotus Empire have a relationship, at present, they can only be suspicious, the special flame is only in line with the current suspicion target and not an absolute target, just like the black fire that Ming Zimo will control at the beginning, he will also suspect it, but it is just a matter of priority! It's almost the same thing to know, what secrets are hidden under the floor, and he can't investigate them, but now that he knows this, it will still be of little use for future reasoning.
After harvesting a lot of useful information, Chen Dawei planned to leave this warehouse, but just as he wanted to leave, dozens of people rushed in outside for a while, all holding long weapons, unanimously facing his side, but the good thing is that these people did not start to do it after rushing in, otherwise, it may not be a "vicious battle", in all senses! He didn't recognize any of these people, and then there came another person who didn't know the same, wearing armor with him, just like the captain of this group with long weapons, only to hear him see Chen Dawei, he scolded loudly: "Brave murderer, dare to come back to the scene of the murder, come to someone, take it down for me!" ”
In fact, when he spoke, Chen Dawei noticed that this person's eyes flickered a little, and now when he heard what he said, he also estimated in his heart that the other party wanted to bluff himself, and the real murderer was the most unlikely to return to this scene, especially this place was already designed to be a fairly intact crime scene. So Chen Dawei also hurriedly explained: "I'm just a kind person passing by, and I want to help investigate the truth of this case, so I took the initiative to come over here to take a look, and I'm not a murderer!" ”
It is impossible to make these people believe unconditionally, but if you can catch someone casually and go back to be regarded as a murderer, this case doesn't have to be so complicated, the other party is originally here to scare people, so he didn't really immediately step forward to take down Chen Dawei's people, and at the same time, he also noticed that these people were on their bodies, and with some light outside, they could barely see the shining scales, probably these people are also people living in the sea, right? In that case, if you look outside, it is undoubtedly a group of bear children who made trouble for themselves before they came in just now, and they probed in from time to time, just because after Chen Dawei's gaze swept over the area this time, those children still noticed it too, and they all retracted their heads as if they were frightened!
"You said you wanted to come and investigate? Then you sue me, what have you investigated here? The captain-like figure on the opposite side asked this sentence like this, as if there was some meaningful meaning in it, Chen Dawei read a treacherous taste from the corners of his slightly raised mouth, and some smug eyes, probably wanting to borrow the information he got here, and wanted to find other people to invite merit or something, the problem is that the lockdown has begun to startle the snake, and then leak the intelligence here, it is estimated that this snake will only choose to flee by unscrupulous means, which is not a good thing!
So Chen Dawei's answer here was to shake his head and deny without thinking about it: "What other information can I investigate in this empty warehouse?" Forgive me for my limited ability and not finding useful information! ”
As soon as he heard this, the expression on the captain's face immediately became ugly, he felt that he had wasted his words, and then naturally shouted unceremoniously: "Someone! Tie him up and take him away! ”
Chen Dawei didn't plan to do it, although he was sure to teach these people a lesson, but if he really wanted to make a move, the nature would really change, if Ah Xiao didn't join him earlier, it was estimated that it would soon be to the point that everyone in the entire harbor city would shout and beat, this is not a joke, when the suspect also did it to other people, the suspicion will naturally increase, so Chen Dawei could only raise his hand to signal that he would not make a move, and at the same time, he explained again: "Don't do anything to me, Although I didn't find any clues here, I may be able to help you in this case, don't take my kindness for malice, wait, wait! ”
The words were shouted out, but these people didn't listen to it at all, they just twisted Chen Dawei's hands behind him and tied them down, and then naturally heard someone say mockingly: "We are brave enough to seal the city, and we don't even dare to arrest a person?" In short, it is ironclad that you came to the scene of the murder alone, and it is normal for you to be suspected, so I still advise you not to do any bad thoughts, and don't expect to confuse the past, go back with us first! ”
This kind of development is really unexpected, and when it is not easy to do it, Chen Dawei can only shout out a sentence at the end: "Okay, I'll go with you obediently, but there is something I hope you can help me, I know a dragon girl named A Xiao, can you please help me tell her then?" ”
"Dragons?" The captain was obviously frightened when he first heard this, but he quickly put aside these not-so-good thoughts and said in a disbelieving voice: "You know the dragon clan of Canghai?" Liar, I advise you to go with us obediently, and stop saying these baseless words! ”
"Well, believe it or not, if you want to ask for credit, it's just one sentence at most!" Chen Dawei's appearance is not too anxious, although he doesn't know where he will be taken, and he doesn't know what will wait for him next, but he is confident that he can escape from this group of people at any time, the problem is that if he leaves, it will cause unnecessary trouble, it is better to wait for Ah Xiao to come to find him in person, anyway, the information he got in the warehouse is enough! And his words can be regarded as poking someone's mentality, but the problem is the other side of the invitation, but it will offend some big people who should not be offended, as soon as he thought of this, the captain unconsciously confessed again!
