Chapter 216: Favoritism
The fire had been completely extinguished, except for wisps of white smoke rising from some of the unburned wreckage.
The beams of the house were burned in several places, and several places collapsed.
Not to mention the contents of this shop, almost all of them have been burned.
There may be something to be found beneath the collapsed masonry that hasn't been burned, but I'm afraid nothing will be saved.
Shen Yun's face sank like water, his eyes looked at the ruins in front of him coldly, and if the anger in his heart hadn't been desperately restrained, I'm afraid it would have surged out.
Tian Jiyao stood beside Shen Yun, looking at everything in front of him, his eyes were full of distress. Tian Jiyao stretched out her hand and landed on Shen Yun's clenched clattering fist as if soothing.
Shen Yun felt the temperature coming from his hand and knew that it was the woman beside him who was comforting him.
All of a sudden, my mind became more complicated.
He naturally knew what this shop meant to Tian Jiyao, and it was all her hard work.
Just turned into ash carbon in a place, how could she not be sad and angry in her heart?
But at this time, she had to let her comfort him in turn.
This made Shen Yun feel a little more pity for Tian Jiyao in his heart.
Shen Yun looked at the mess in that place with a firm gaze, and assured Tian Jiyao loudly: "I will definitely find the person who is responsible for fire prevention, no matter who this person is!" I won't let him go! ”
After saying that, Shen Yun looked sideways at Tian Jiyao beside him, saying that this was his promise to her.
Coincidentally, Shen Yun's words happened to be heard clearly by Shen Changsheng, who had just arrived at the scene.
After Shen Changsheng came out of the medical hall, he hurriedly rushed towards Shen Yun's shop.
But Shen Changsheng drank too much wine before, and it was a change of fuss, and at this time, because of the weakness of the heart that he had done something wrong, his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't run fast all the way.
I finally arrived at the place in a hurry, and I heard Shen Yun's words.
You must know that Shen Changsheng's purpose in rushing over was to make Shen Yun and Tian Jiyao admit their mistakes and tell them that the fire was set by him Shen Changsheng.
But now seeing Shen Yun so angry, he also said that no matter who set the fire, he would not let it go.
This made Shen Changsheng, who was already very weak in his heart and was not very willing to admit arson at the beginning, suddenly felt even more empty in his heart.
Scared in his heart, even after hesitation, Shen Changsheng still didn't dare to say anything.
didn't even dare to appear in front of Shen Yun and Tian Jiyao, but after looking around, he found that the fire had been extinguished, so he wanted to retreat quietly.
As a result, Shen Changsheng was still seen, and when a young man saw Shen Changsheng's figure, he hurriedly greeted: "Master, you are also here, the fire has been extinguished, fortunately, no one died, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." ”
Shen Yun and Tian Jiyao also turned their heads and looked at Shen Changsheng when they heard the sound.
Shen Changsheng, who originally wanted to retreat quietly, couldn't leave now, so he had to step forward with Shen Yun and Tian Jiyao and inquire about the situation.
"Don't be polite to the uncle if you need any help, the uncle will definitely do his best to help if he can." Shen Changsheng said this time not as hypocritically as before, but from the bottom of his heart.
Tian Jiyao and Shen Yun looked at Shen Changsheng, what he said was very sincere, and the two of them also politely said a few words to him, and then asked him to go back first.
After all, they had only experienced Mrs. Shen's accident, and although they were not immediately close to each other, their past grievances had been resolved.
Tian Jiyao and the others did not have any suspicions about Shen Changsheng, but were ready to look for evidence at the scene of the fire to see if they could find out who set the fire.
Shen Yun and Tian Jiyao took a few minifigures to carefully investigate the entire fire scene, and cleaned up some unburned property, some of which were barely usable, but most of them were already dilapidated.
However, there really hasn't been any clues about the person who set the fire.
Shen Yun didn't believe that he couldn't find any clues, so he still looked for it very seriously.
At this time, a neighbor came to them and said, "Come and see, you two, the village chief has drunk too much and is sitting under the wall on the other side of the road." ”
"The village chief has drunk too much, so let's find someone to send him back, and we will continue to look for clues." Shen Yun frowned and replied.
"No, I passed by the village chief just now, and I heard him babbling all the time, saying that he lit a fire or something, burned something, maybe it has something to do with the fire in your house, you go and take a look." The neighbor came running, panting and talking.
As soon as they heard this, Shen Yun and Tian Jiyao hurriedly put down the things in their hands, and followed the neighbors towards the village chief's place.
When the two arrived, people from the yamen also rushed over.
As early as when the fire was discovered, someone ran to the yamen to report the case.
It's just that the yamen is not far away, and it has only come back and forth until now.
"What's going on here?" As soon as the people from the yamen came, they saw that there was a commotion here, and they opened the crowd to see the village chief who was surrounded in the middle.
Drunk and drunk in the corner, he kept muttering these things.
When you get closer, you can hear the village chief saying something, "The fire I set is burning", "It's good if it's all burned down", and so on.
Although the noise was not too loud, the surrounding villagers heard everything they should have heard.
Everyone pointed at the village chief, but they didn't dare to say anything loudly, only to talk in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, when is this coming, it's going to be gone when it's dark." The officials drove away the crowd of onlookers.
Naturally, the villagers did not dare not listen, and the crowd quickly dispersed.
"You two go back first, let's take him back to sober up first, and ask about the matter." The two officials set up the village chief and took him away without saying anything.
Shen Yun and Tian Jiyao originally wanted to ask something from the village chief, but the village chief was already drunk and dazed, and the officials arrived in time, so they didn't give them a chance at all.
The two could only watch the village chief being taken away like this.
When the officials returned to the Yamen, they notified Zhang Xianling, and the village chief had a lot to do with Zhang Xianling, and he did not suffer any crimes after being brought to Yamen.
Not only did he not go to the cell, but he lived directly in Zhang Xianling's house.
It wasn't until the next day that the village chief woke up and drank thoroughly, and Zhang Xianling came to him to ask.
"What's going on with that burning shop? Does it have anything to do with you? "Zhang Xianling is not an interrogation, but the tone is not very good.
If this matter really has something to do with the village chief, it has already been known to so many ordinary people, and it is not easy for him, the county commander, to favor him.
The village chief was taken aback, so he hurriedly shook out the incident where he and Shen Changsheng drank together the day before, and also put all the responsibility on Shen Changsheng's body.
