Chapter 27: Purgatory on Earth

The earliest fire in Xishi was not a Liu Ji shoe shop, but a Hu hotel.

"How far is it from Liu Ji?" Qingqing said only after entering the small courtyard where there were only officials.

"On a street, there are a few shops across the street, so Liu Ji has also burned down." Ximen Kai also put on masks, and the catchers of Kaifeng Mansion were all trained by Qingqing, and those who entered the courtyard were all wearing shoe covers, wearing masks, and trying to stand in a dry place, their role was to prevent irrelevant people from entering and leaving, and maintain the original scene. However, this is the fire field, and both the East and West markets are equipped with fire dragon teams. There are also enthusiastic neighborhoods, water and fire are operated by a bunch of people, and there is almost nothing left of the scene.

Qingqing didn't enter the house, first squatted on the ground in the courtyard as before, looked at the messy footprints in the place, and left a few marks before she carefully entered the earliest fire point. The kitchen in the backyard, however, she did not go in, but had someone bring a ladder over, and she carefully climbed up to the roof, and the west door did not dare to move anything else, and followed her up from the ladder.

"Was it windy last night?" Qingqing took a small ribbon in her hand, and the small ribbon was blown by the wind on the roof.

"Just look at the fire road!" Simon pointed to the black ruins.

"It's just time to get to Liu Ji." Qingqing pointed to the last black room.

"Don't tell me they can calculate this?"

"Anything in the world can be calculated, and there will always be people who are smarter than us. This is a gang, and everyone from this house to Liu Kee was charred after being killed. Qingqing shook her head.

"Do they know we've found Yoo Kee?"

"I don't know, I should say, now the direction of your investigation is to see if there are any missing Hu people who have just arrived in Kaifeng." Qingqing shook his head and turned his head to point to a jujube tree in the kitchen yard, "You go to that tree to take a look, be careful, there are no footprints on the roof, then the place where they hide can only be that tree." ”

"I'll send you down first." Ximen opened the ladder and stretched out his hand to Qingqing.

"You're welcome!" Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and shook her head in a panic, "There are traces on the tree, don't touch it." ”

Ximen Kai took a deep breath: "I'll go down, you slow down." ”

He jumped directly off the roof and held on to the ladder, and Qingqing slowly held on to the ladder and climbed down. This time she didn't fall down, and Qiao Dayong kept holding on to the ladder. When looking at the last step, Qiao Dayong held Qingqing's arm, Qingqing saw Qiao Dayong, breathed a big sigh of relief, and jumped down easily.

"It's cold up there, I forgot to get you a cloak in the morning." Qiao Dayong hurriedly asked.

"It's not cold." Qingqing smiled, put on gloves, and took a deep breath, "Dad, light the lantern for me." ”

"Howler!" Qiao Dayong waved his hand to Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui hurriedly sent the lamp, Qingqing took it himself, and carefully walked into the scene.

A total of five shops were burned down in the West Market, and 22 people died. There were men and women, and the bodies were carried to the street in a long line.

"No kids?" Qingqing walked through the last scene, tracking the scene, afraid of water, sand, and fire. Generally speaking, it is also the most difficult to collect evidence at the fire scene, because the heat will burn the evidence, and the water that extinguishes the fire can also wash away the remaining evidence. When she walked out, she was really tired and couldn't lift her legs, but as soon as she went out of the door, she saw a row of white cloths. Looking at the body shape, you can also know that all of them are adults. She was here yesterday, and there are a lot of kids playing around in the West Market.

"No, there should still be a Hu girl in the Hu Hotel, and I didn't find it." Qiao Dayong can't laugh now, so many people died at once, even if he has been a head catcher for so many years, this kind of scene makes him unable to adapt.

Qingqing knows that this kind of Hu Hotel is actually a Fengyue place, and the cool Hu girl in the Hu Hotel is also a beautiful scenery in the West Market. She closed her eyes, wondering if she had just made a mistake.

"Dad, go see if there's a basement under the kitchen."

Qiao Dayong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called people to rush back.

Qingqing didn't dare to go, the kitchen was the first scene she investigated, there was no one inside, there was a fire, and she saw the rocket that started from outside the door. So she only collected the arrow that burned the transformation and came out, and the rest, she really didn't pay too much attention, now that she thinks about it, she is too underestimated.

"Qingqing, how's it going?" Lord Tie went down and rushed over.

"There are very few strong pointing clues." Qingqing bowed her head and saluted Lord Tie, and said directly.

"With so many deaths, the court was shocked and wanted to solve the case within a time limit." Iron Lord's face darkened.

"There could be more." Qingqing said softly.

Lord Tie's eyes widened, and sure enough, Qiao Dayong came back, and the grizzled servants behind him.

"A lot?" Qingqing hesitated a little.

"It's miserable, you go home quickly." Qiao Dayong waved his hand at her.

"I'm going to check it out, it's my job." Qingqing paused and went to pick up the box.

"Don't go!" Ximen Kai grabbed Qingqing's arm, "There must be no clue to the murderer there." ”

"No, but there should be something else. Collecting evidence is not only a clue to search for the murderer. Qingqing gently wiped his hand and walked down the street with his head down.

It's still the kitchen just now, they have dug the entrance, the faΓ§ade of the Hu Hotel is so small, if you want to do something, you always have to have some place, and it will naturally stretch down. So all the people here are roasted to death. The people below were completely trapped inside, and the place at the exit was crowded with people with hideous faces. The person who baked it was actually already cooked. No one dared to touch them, and there was a strange smell in the air, Qingqing quickly ran up, holding on to the back door, and spit it out.

"Do you want water?" Ximen opened over and wanted to pat her, but as soon as his hand was raised, he was stopped by Qiao Dayong.

"Baby, I'll let Xiao Cui send you back."

"Their target is not Liu Ji, their target is these bearded girls. So they have to sort out their belongings one by one! Maybe there are pointing clues. Qingqing's face is clearer, I didn't eat two bites in the morning, and now I spit it out all sour water.

"We're looking for you, you go back." Qiao Dayong said distressedly.

"No, I don't even know what it is, how to tell you." Qingqing shook her head and thought about it, "Lord Ximen asked Master Jiang to bring people to separate the corpses one by one, be careful."

"Failed to serve?" Qiao Dayong was stunned for a moment, he was already ready to let the officials go.

"No, it's already cooked, and the flesh and bones will be separated." Qingqing vomited again after speaking.
