Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fire

“…… So we're okay with that, right? ”

Liang Yue stretched out her little thumb, "Pull the hook, stamp." ”

The childish behavior made Su Yi smile, and he also stretched out his hand to hook her, and agreed in a doting tone: "Stamp." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and at this moment, the crowd suddenly became chaotic, some people began to scatter and run away regardless of it, and some people began to shout at the top of their voices: "Fight the fire!" Help me! Zuixiang Building is on fire!! ”

Su Yi immediately protected her in his arms, so as not to run up and bump into her in the mess, and when he heard Zuixianglou, he subconsciously looked down at Liangyue, and Liangyue was also looking up at him: "Drunken Xianglou suddenly caught fire, isn't it a little strange?" ”

"It's kind of weird." Su Yi replied while escorting her to the side of the street. But I know very well in my heart that if Zuixianglou is just an ordinary Fengyue place, the sudden fire may be guessed to be revenge by jealousy. But it is a cool industry, even if few people know about it on the surface, but there may not be anyone behind it who dares to touch Zuixianglou. But it caught fire, and there was such a big fight, so tonight's fire was really interesting.

Su Yi protected her, looked at the people running around the street, and asked her, "Are you going back?" Or go check it out? ”

Liang Yue asked for his opinion: "I want to go and see, do you go?" ”

Su Yi nodded: "Then let's go." ”

The location of Zuixiang House is very good, in the center of the main street, the three-storey building, and next to it are some rouge gouache shops, as well as a few ready-to-wear fabric shops. The fire was so great that it was enough to illuminate the night.

When the two people arrived, the drunken incense building had been burned to the ground, and there were also those shops adjacent to it, the fuel was enough, the fire became more ferocious, and the water for the fire was poured on, not only did not extinguish the fire, but made the fire more ferocious, from the beginning of the fire to the present, the women's cries and screams have been incessant, mixed with the cries for help of the small servants, these sounds are intertwined with the sound of the whirring fire, which is particularly poignant in the dark night that should be quiet.

Su Yi looked at the Zuixiang Building, which collapsed in the fire, and suddenly squinted, and the expression on his face became a little solemn.

Liang Yue was grabbed by him with one hand and couldn't step forward, watching the usually lively Zuixiang Building destroyed in such an inexplicable fire, and listening to the chaotic discussions and regrets of those people, he suddenly thought of the warbler girl in his heart.

She couldn't help but raise her head and ask Su Yi, "Can all the people inside escape?" ”

Su Yi seemed to sigh and said, "If you shouldn't die, you can." ”

It was as if she hadn't said this, anyway, Liang Yue was not comforted, so she asked again: "The movement is so big, why haven't the people from the government come yet?" Don't you think it's strange that even those who patrol are gone? ”

"It's strange, either they're oversight, or they're just instructed to pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Liang Yue frowned when she heard this: "After such a long time, even if you run to spread the news, it should be transmitted." So someone is deliberately setting up control? But there are just some unarmed girls in the drunken fragrance building, why kill them? Speaking of this, Liang Yue immediately looked at Su Yi and said, "Or are those girls in the Zuixiang Building simply funeral offerings, and someone wants to kill my officials?" No, this matter is very important, I have to go into the palace and tell my father, are you going? ”

Some officials like to go to a place like Zuixianglou to drink a flower wine and have fun, and it is not uncommon for them to stay drunk and stay overnight, and the drunken Xianglou suddenly catches fire, and the possibility of murder by others is very great.

Liang Yue quickly thought of this, and hurried back.

Su Yi stopped her unhurriedly, leaned over and whispered to her: "If we go back at this time, not only will it be useless, but we will also miss a good show, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Why?" Liang Yue was deeply puzzled.

Su Yi took her hand, walked a few steps into the darkness, and suddenly grabbed her waist and jumped onto the roof of a shop, and only after she stabilized her figure did he signal her to look down.

"Look closely and see what the people down there are up to." Su Yi kindly prompted.

Liang Yue glanced at him suspiciously, but still squatted down, leaned over, and looked carefully.

The people below are running around, sometimes crying and shouting to fight the fire, sometimes beckoning to carry water and splash water, obviously normal?

Looking at the drunken incense building, as well as the shops that burned down with it, there seems to be nothing abnormal.

So Liang Yue was even more confused in her heart, and she couldn't help frowning.

Su Yi saw that she didn't get up for a long time, and she didn't speak, worried that she really wouldn't be able to see it, and she loved to save face, and was about to open her mouth to remind her a little, but suddenly heard Liang Yue's somewhat puzzled voice - "You mean, those people who put out the fire have a problem?" ”

Su Yi immediately swallowed the hint back, and changed his words: "Well, it can't be said that there is a problem, but their purpose is obvious, you take a closer look." ”

"Look at the servants dressed up, their mouths and faces look very anxious, as if his master's house has not escaped inside, but they are only anxious, although they are busy putting out the fire, they do not rush in to find someone to save people. If it wasn't simply a fear of death, then there was only one possibility, that their master's house wasn't in it at all, or that they had come out of it before the fire started. There are also those girls who seem to have rushed out of the sea of fire to die, although they are crying and looking panicked and scared, but their mothers have a calm look, and they are not even afraid, and even comforting those girls is very perfunctory. Could it be that these girls who escaped are all fake? If it were, they were powerless, weak and cowardly, and how could they have escaped unharmed on their own? Unless they all have martial arts and know in advance that there will be such a fire, so when the fire first starts to burn, when the people know about it, it will not be difficult for them to take advantage of the chaos to run out. Will they all predict? Or is it just a play? ”

The more I continued, the more frightened I felt: "When the fire started, there was no one in the Zuixiang Building, and there was no one in those shops at all. Those people seemed to be escaping from the fire, but in fact, they were just acting, deliberately guiding people, so that the people and even others thought that many people would be burned to death in this fire! And those who are thought to have been burned to death should be the most suspicious point in this fire? ”

Who the hell is it? Directing such an alarmist drama unknowingly, and even being able to secretly and perfectly control and guide all this, who can be so frustrated?

"Indeed, as you say, all we can see tonight is what the man wants us to see." Behind what Liang Yue couldn't see, Su Yi slowly hooked his lips, and said in a somewhat mocking tone, "But that person seems to have forgotten that the more almost perfect the layout, the easier it is for people to see the clues." An accidental fire tonight doesn't matter to us, but to that man, it's crucial. ”

"So who will be able to control all this quietly?" Liang Yue stood up, with a somewhat solemn expression on her small face. "But what is the purpose of that man directing and acting in such a scene? As far as I know, there is a big money owner behind this drunken incense building, and a fire will destroy it in one fell swoop, wouldn't it ruin a cash cow for others? Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing someone's parents, that person is so bold. ”

Su Yi said as if he had no intention of it: "What if that person has already reached an agreement with the rich man behind Zuixiang Building?" Or perhaps, the person who caused the fire tonight is the rich man behind the drunken incense building? If you don't want your own things, even if you burn it, you won't feel distressed. ”

"Huh?" Liang Yuejing reminded him like this, and immediately figured it out, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" This kind of possibility is not impossible, maybe I can go and check the person behind this drunken incense building, maybe there will be a clue. ”

The doubts in her heart were solved one by one, Liang Yue looked at Su Yi with some gratitude, but saw that he was staring at herself with a playful face, and suddenly panicked, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Su Yi restrained his playful look and smiled at her: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly saw you so serious, and I was thinking, it turns out that you still have such a side." ”

She is so serious just now, and she is like two people who have no heart or lungs and just eat, drink and have fun and do not do their jobs.

Liang Yue, who accidentally betrayed her own personality unintentionally, suddenly felt a little weak-hearted, but after thinking about it, why did she have a weak heart? She is like this in her bones, if Su Yi only saw her appearance and was surprised by the other side of his reality, it can only show that he is shallow and that he does not know her well enough.

So Liang Yue deliberately asked him: "Why, the other side of me surprised you like this?" ”

"Of course not." How could Su Yi not see her careful thoughts at this time, but he still told the truth and said, "I'm just admiring myself." ”

"Huh?" Liang Yue likes to tilt her head when she feels puzzled, "What does this have to do with yourself?" ”

Su Yi smiled: "I admired my own vision, I thought I had gained a gem, but I didn't expect that my luck was so good, where is a gem, it is actually a pearl covered with dust." ”

"Oops." Liang Yue heard his unabashed praise for himself, and covered his face shyly.

Su Yi smiled and took her hand and asked, "Do you want to go back?" The hour is getting late. ”

"Uh-huh, let's go back, I think tomorrow my father will know about Zuixianglou, and Bacheng will let Liang Zhun be in charge of investigating the case, and I don't know what his mood will be when he hears about it?" Liang Yue silently thought, after all, in this drunken fragrance building, there is a girl he likes. The sweetheart was frightened for no reason, and he was killed and lost his home, will he be angry and angry?
