Chapter 403: The Bounty Hunter at Midnight 31
It was like a precise blow to the barbecue restaurant, and the surrounding shops were not burned by the fire at all, except for being blackened by thick smoke.
The fire came and went so fast that it took just over five minutes for firefighters to arrive.
However, the fire had been reduced and soon all were extinguished.
When we finally investigated the ignition point, it was found that the cause was not on the stove or barbecue.
It's the cash register.
The fire was fast, but it burned so thoroughly that the barbecue restaurant was largely burned to the ground.
Since such an inexplicable fire at the barbecue restaurant, several sudden spontaneous combustion incidents have occurred in other places one after another.
These include the sudden spontaneous combustion of a car parked in a parking lot, the spontaneous combustion of an office in an office building, and the spontaneous combustion of a clothing store in the pedestrian street of a shopping mall.
There was even an incident where a pedestrian suddenly spontaneously combusted on the road.
According to eyewitnesses, the man was walking in the park, walking and walking, when suddenly he spontaneously combusted.
Passers-by hurriedly tried to rescue, but there was no fire extinguisher nearby, only water source for the public restroom.
The fire burned so fast that it soon spread all over the pedestrians, and the amount of water splashed by people was far from enough.
The man was quickly burned alive.
Later, after investigation, the police found that the man had a lighter in his trouser pocket.
But this lighter can't ignite a big man in an instant.
The man had no gasoline on his body and no flammers.
After combining these strange incidents, the police believe that it may not be human.
So the matter was referred to the Occult Investigation Team.
After Yu Muhuai took over the task, he came to the place where spontaneous combustion first occurred - the barbecue stand.
This time, he partnered with Yu Muhuai and was a member of the investigation team named Zhao Sujie.
The two introduced each other on the way in the past, and then chatted a few words.
When Zhao Sujie heard that Yu Muhuai was a student of Foster College, he immediately came to his senses.
"How many students is Xiao Qu at Foster College? My daughter is also at Foster College and is now a freshman. ”
Yu Muhuai replied, "I'm also a freshman student. ”
"Really? What major are you studying? My daughter reads computers. ”
Yu Muhuai felt that something was wrong, "I.... Also computers. ”
"Really?? My daughter is in Class 3. ”
The corners of Yu Muhuai's mouth twitched, "I'm also in the third shift....."
Zhao Sujie turned his head and glanced at Yu Muhuai, and the expressions on their faces were a little unpredictable.
"Is your daughter's name Zhao Lele?"
"My daughter's name is Zhao Lele."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Zhao Sujie showed a happy expression, "It's true!" What a coincidence, really such a coincidence! ”
Then, Zhao Sujie began to praise Yu Muhuai continuously, and vividly interpreted what it means to be someone else's child.
"Xiao Qu is really powerful, he entered the bounty hunter organization at a young age. Go out on a mission, face danger, and silently carry the burden for the safety of the city.
Look at that daughter of mine, the same age as you, reading a book and shouting all day long and dying of exhaustion. All day long, he will only stretch out his hand and ask Lao Tzu for money to buy this and that, and use Lao Tzu as an ATM.
What is a gap? What does it mean to be excellent? What does it mean to be out of reach?
You should really bring Lele's child to you and let her learn from you. ”
Yu Muhuai: Your daughter hangs out with me during the day.....
Yu Muhuai smiled dryly, and even changed his title, "Uncle Zhao doesn't need to be like this, after all, I am fundamentally different from Lele."
I can do these things, and ordinary humans may not be able to do them. ”
Zhao Sujie thought for a while and nodded seriously, "That's right, no one in the school should know that you are a blood clan, right?" ”
Yu Muhuai nodded yes.
"But even if it's a different race, Lele still can't compare to you. That child is so pampered that a little pain can scream crookedly for a long time.
Hmph, it is said that the tiger father has no dog girl, why is Lao Tzu's daughter so squeamish! ”
Then along the way, Zhao Sujie began to count Zhao Lele continuously, and Yu Muhuai could only listen dryly, occasionally responding to a few words.
Zhao Lele, who was watching the drama at home, sneezed several times inexplicably.
The two soon drove to the barbecue restaurant.
The location of this store is very ordinary, and the prices of the nearby stores are not expensive.
Because of the fire, all the shops in the surrounding area were temporarily closed.
Undo the seal at the door, and the two walked into the scene.
It has long been burned to a coke.
When you look up, it's all black.
In the area identified as the point of the fire, a police notice board was erected.
This was originally the cash register of the barbecue restaurant, at the back of the storefront.
In front of the cash register, there are several tables and a large freezer against the wall that holds a variety of dishes for guests to choose from.
Behind the cash register, there is a kitchenette.
In addition to barbecue, there are also some stir-fried dishes.
Yu Muhuai and Zhao Sujie put on gloves and rummaged through the rubble, trying to find some evidence that the police might have missed.
Depending on the direction of exploration, the focus of the search will be different.
Since there is a high probability that it was done by supernatural beings, there are some key things that ordinary people will definitely overlook.
The area near the cash register where the fire started was the most thoroughly burned.
The fire burned down the entire house, but left the frame, so the roof is now transparent.
According to firefighters who came to extinguish the fire, water spraying did little to extinguish the fire.
In the end, the fire was extinguished by itself.
It didn't burn for long, and what was inside was just coke, and it didn't become ashes.
It's like something directs the act of a fire, pointing to where it burns, and when it's done, it leaves, without being interrupted.
Yu Muhuai rummaged through the barbecue restaurant inch by inch, and found a feather under a blackened brick.
This feather is very small, less than two centimeters in length.
The feathers were dark red in color, hidden in a charred residue of debris and covered with dust.
If it weren't for the vampire's excellent eyesight and sensitivity to supernatural creatures, she wouldn't have been able to spot it.
Although this feather is not remarkable at all, it can remain intact in a piece of coke, and there must be something wrong with it.
Yu Muhuai picked up the feather and put it on his hand to look at it, always feeling a little familiar, but he didn't know what animal it was.
She told Zhao Sujie about her discovery.
Zhao Sujie frowned at the feather and muttered, "It's a little familiar, it seems to have been seen somewhere." ”
Yu Muhuai simply took out his mobile phone and took a photo to send it to Xiang Yi.
Aside from the feather, the two found no other suspicious traces.
After putting away the feathers, the two headed to the next fire site.
The second place is close to the barbecue restaurant, in the middle of a large shopping mall nearby.
