Chapter 179: Fire Chief
I asked about the situation at the time of the crime, and Zen Nian reminisced about it as he spoke.
On the night of the murder, Zen Nian and others had rested, and the monks on duty at night saw the fire in the Guanyin Hall and issued a warning, and the monks rushed to the rescue. But after opening the door of the temple, I saw that the flames in the temple were monstrous, and I couldn't enter it at all.
Although the fire brigade arrived in time, but the fire was very strange, the high-pressure water gun sprayed up, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, but made the fire more and more ferocious, the fire brigade had to wear fireproof clothing, take the dry powder fire extinguisher to push inside little by little, every few meters to advance, to change a group of team members, a group of people can not withstand the high temperature in the temple at all, can only take shifts.
What's even more strange is that the door of the temple is obviously wide open, but the fire only burns in the temple, and it has not escaped from the door at all.
Even the people of the fire brigade were stunned, they had fought countless fires, but they had never seen such a strange fire.
At that time, the scene was very chaotic, the attention of the monks was focused on the fire, as the prison of the Zen Nian arrived at the first time, busy presiding over the fire extinguishing, did not have time to inform the abbot of Zen heart, and so on after the fire in the Guanyin Hall was controlled, he came back to his senses and sent someone to inform him, but he was surprised to hear that the abbot's meditation room had also caught fire, and the fire in the Guanyin Hall was exactly the same, I don't know how long it had been burning.
Perhaps because of the small size of the meditation room, when the fire brigade arrived, the fire in the meditation room had already extinguished itself, and the meditation heart had become a charred corpse......
From beginning to end, hundreds of monks in the temple, none of them found the trace of the arsonist, but made two inferences based on the experience of the fire brigade, one is the time of the fire, it should be the fire in the Guanyin Hall in front, after the fire in the meditation room. Second, the cause of the fire should undoubtedly be arson.
After hearing what he had to say, I was silent.
At this point, I only got two clues, one of which was that the murderer had a grudge against me.
Second, this person's strength is by no means below mine, and he is good at playing with fire.
But there is still no clue about the identity of the murderer, when this person came, how he infiltrated, and what means he used, killing three strong men in a row in just half an hour and then quietly escaping, all of which are still a mystery.
To be honest, I was disappointed and anxious, thinking that after figuring out the situation, I should find something, but I found nothing. What's in a hurry is that the murderer is so weird, if he can't be found out as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will endanger the guild and the dojo.
But I can't find any clues here, so I can only make another plan.
Zen Nian fought with Yang Shu just now, although he was not seriously injured, he was almost unable to hold on.
I comforted him a few words, then took my leave and returned to the inn with the poplars.
My plan is to find out the head snake Lin Ningxiang and ask clearly, in Liaoning, who are the masters of playing with fire, especially the Black Dragon Sect and the Taiping Dao people, since the other party has an enmity with me, most of them are bull ghosts and snake gods from these two sides.
Although it was close to midnight, the lights of the hotel were still on, and as soon as we entered the door, the proprietress greeted us with a smile: "You two are really, you are still running around outside so late, and you don't know what to pay attention to, we are a small place, the security is not as good as that of a big city, you must be more careful when you go out at night." ”
"Hey, we know, Sister Xia don't worry." I replied with a smile.
Since the death of the master, it has been a long time since no one left us with the door late at night, and these thoughtful words from the proprietress also make me feel slightly warm in my heart.
And what surprised me was that the proprietress seemed to be very neatly groomed today, her face looked much better than yesterday, she seemed to have put on a little light makeup, her hair had just been washed, and she still exuded a hint of Pantene......
I couldn't help but look her up and down, and quipped, "Hey, Sister Xia is so beautiful, she has a date at night?" ”
The proprietress gave me a charming look: "Don't make fun of your eldest sister...... My family is back. ”
"Uh, yes, Brother Lin is not on duty today?"
"Iron Man has to have a nap too, isn't it, hey, let you give it a fork, I almost forgot to ask, did you two eat at night?"
Before I could answer, Yang Shu said, "No, eldest sister, can you still stir-fry now?" ”
He rubbed his stomach and looked pitiful.
Poplar this guy is originally energetic, and used to pretending to be stupid and cute, has always been the most popular with middle-aged and elderly women, the proprietress couldn't stand it when she saw his expression, smiled and nodded: "Prepare it for the two of you, you two go back to the house quickly, I will serve you the food as soon as it is hot!" ”
After saying that, she didn't forget to glance at me, although she didn't say anything, but her expression was clearly blaming me for starving the poplar.
She turned away, and I glared at the poplar hard.
This kid, no matter where he goes, can quickly form a united front with women?
It didn't take long for the two of us to go back to the room, and there was a knock on the door, but it was not the proprietress who came in, but a burly man in his thirties, very handsome, but with a tired face, but he was in good spirits, holding two plates of steaming stir-fried vegetables in his hands, and asked when he entered the door: "Is it the dish you two ordered?" ”
I felt strange in my heart, so I subconsciously glanced at him twice, and when I looked at his thick and wide hands covered with scars and calluses, I knew that he was definitely not the one who served the plate: "Yes, it's the two of us, you are Brother Lin, right?" Sister Xia mentioned you to us. ”
The man put down the dishes and looked at us: "I'm Lin Aijun." The two little brothers have been here for a few days, are they still used to living? ”
"It's good, we just arrived yesterday, and we are both from the Northeast, and we won't be unaccustomed to the soil."
Lin Aijun nodded and smiled: "That's good, I'll just say, listening to your accent, you should also be from the Northeast, but it's not from Liaoning, right?" ”
"Well, we're both from Heilongjiang."
"Heilongjiang? It's a cold day, what are you doing here? ”
When he said this, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, he shouldn't have been here to deliver food, but he came, he came, and he chatted with the two of us, and it was okay to chat, but you can't be too blunt, what he said doesn't sound like chatting, no matter how you listen to it, it's like the police are doing a ward round.
But I can understand his intentions, although his family is a hotel, but at present there are only two of us guests, and they are both big men, usually he does not go home, only his wife is alone in the store, if he is not worried at all, it is a strange thing, to explore the details of the two of us, it is also reasonable.
"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, we are brothers, I heard that the Bodhisattva of the Big Buddha Temple is effective, so I specially came to worship the Buddha and make a wish, asking the Bodhisattva to bless our seriously ill father with peace and speedy recovery."
As I spoke, I muttered in my heart, anyway, my own father doesn't know where he is, let alone whether he is dead or alive, my words are not a big rebellion.
Who knows, when Lin Aijun heard this, not only was he not relieved, but became more and more vigilant: "I can't see it, you two are actually Buddhists, these days, it is rare to see a filial and sensible child like you." ”
I suddenly woke up and realized that I had fallen off the standard of my lie.
There are very few young people who believe in Buddhism, and we don't even have a series of Bodhi on them, but they are disciples of Buddhism, no wonder he is suspicious: "Hehe, big brother, you don't know, our family has believed in Buddhism for generations, and we are here, which is also what my mother meant." ”
It was easy for me to come back with a lie, but Lin Aijun did not relax his vigilance: "Then you Buddhas, you worship sincerely enough, how is it today, have you grabbed the high incense?" ”
Hearing this, my face was not so good-looking, he knew that the Big Buddha Temple was closed, and asked me if I had grabbed the high incense?
Although the fire brigade is also subordinate to the public security armed police system, it is not a public security after all, and he interrogates us endlessly like a prisoner, is it a bit excessive? No wonder there are no guests in his hotel, with a boss like him, who would dare to come and stay?
Just when I wanted to squeeze him a few words, the proprietress Xia Ting walked in with a pot of rice and two pairs of chopsticks.
Perhaps because of the sensitivity of a woman, she easily smelled the smell of gunpowder between me and Lin Aijun, her face couldn't help but change, and she put down the pot and grabbed Lin Aijun's arm and pulled it out: "What are you doing, didn't you tell you, these little brothers are honest children, why are you here to interrogate people again?" The old mistake is done again, isn't it? ”
As she spoke, she secretly pinched Lin Aijun twice, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth, so he had to stand up: "What's the matter, I just have a casual chat with these two little brothers, I don't believe you ask them." ”
How could Xia Ting believe it, and while dragging him out, she smiled at the two of us: "Don't take it to heart, he is sick, you treat him as a psychopath......"
But I realized that something was wrong, Lin Aijun's performance went beyond worrying about his wife, and it seemed to be targeted.
"Sister Xia, you blame Brother Lin, it's the two of us who pulled him to chatter, how can you blame him?"
Xia Ting's face softened slightly, and she looked at Lin Aijun with a little doubt: "Really?" That ......"
Before she finished speaking, the phone in Lin Aijun's pocket rang, and the funny thing was that the ringtone was actually Ulan Tuya's "Horse Pole": The man who set the horse, you are mighty and majestic, and the galloping horse is like a wind......
Poplar and I looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
This guy is really a man with a prairie heart, this bell is really emotional.
But Lin Aijun picked up the phone, and after saying a few words, his face became extremely cold.
"What, you want our help? Okay, okay, I'll go back! ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes, you assemble the team first." ”
He put down the phone and said apologetically to Xia Ting: "The team gathers urgently, I have to go back now, and I can't accompany you anymore." ”
Xia Ting is obviously an empathetic wife, although she can't help but show a look of disappointment, she still makes a smile.
"It doesn't matter, I expected it to be like this, you can go for it......"
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Aijun had already stepped out of the door with one foot.
I looked at this dedicated old squad leader, but I still couldn't hold back after all, and said loudly: "Captain Lin, no matter what urgent matter you have, before tomorrow, you'd better not leave the house, otherwise there will not only be a bloody disaster, but there may even be no return." ”
I didn't say this to intimidate, but I just saw that before he answered the phone, his face was still normal, but when he promised to return to the team immediately, between his eyebrows, a faint black gas quickly emerged, straight through the Yin Hall!
