Chapter 367: Qin Shen's Discovery
"Master! Master! When Wang Baiyu saw Qiao Su and Qin Shen, she suddenly felt like she saw her relatives, she ran towards them crying, pounced on Qiao Su's body, and hugged Qiao Su tightly.
"White jade." Qiao Su hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Why did it catch fire? ”
Wang Baiyu quickly choked up and told Qiao Su about the matter, Qin Shen listened on the side, knowing that the three children were gone, his heart was sour......
He also thought that Wang Baiyu had nothing to do with it, and he thought that Zhao's sister-in-law's children should be fine, who knows......
Qin Shen looked at Qiao Su, who was hugging his head and crying with Wang Baiyu, and sighed and said, "You guys talk under the corridor, otherwise you'll be in the rain all the time, but you're going to get sick." I went in and had a look, and it was out quickly. ”
He pushed it away and walked in, and found that the officials were still helping them clean up the shop in the courtyard, so he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you so much, I'm back with Asu, just leave it to us here." I wonder if you can ask, what the hell is going on? ”
The officials were not there when the fire started, so how did they know what was going on? But when they come, they naturally ask about the people around them.
After all, these are confessions, even if they don't ask, Lord Jing will ask them to come over and ask when they turn around, so they simply ask directly, which also saves Lord Jing a lot of trouble, and this is originally the area they patrol, they didn't find out at the first time when the fire started, and they are responsible.
But it has come to this point, and now it can only make up for it.
So immediately an official messenger told Qin Shen the confessions of the neighbors.
Qin Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's because the pepper flowers are on fire, so the store is burning?" ”
"That's right! The first people to discover the fire were because they first saw the fire in the flowers, and then they noticed the fire in front of the store. And although we didn't patrol here at the time, we also noticed the direction of the wind when we patrolled other places. The wind direction is blowing from the direction of the flowers to the direction of the storefront, so it must be the flower seed that caught fire first, and the store caught fire. If the store catches fire first, it will only burn backwards, and it will never burn to the flowers outside. Because this flower bush is actually some distance away from the storefront. It's just that after the flowers were burned, those sparks were blown to the door of the store by the wind, so it caused the immediate result. It's dry, and there's no way around it. ”
The official sighed, and then said: "Many other surrounding families have losses, but there are people in their homes, so there is no Internet, but you don't know why there are only three children in the store, and the door is locked, so everyone is fighting the fire...... Because they couldn't get in, there was no way to get the three children out first. ”
"The door is locked......" Qin Shen felt that this was very strange, how could the door be locked? Even if he and Qiao Su are not in the store, there are still Wang Baiyu and Aunt Zhao. Unless Wang Baiyu and Aunt Zhao are not there, the three children will be locked in the house. But why aren't they there? Naturally, he could only ask Aunt Zhao and Wang Baiyu about these questions, but he couldn't ask the official, but he heard from the official that the three children were gone, and he was also sad in his heart.
He felt that he was also responsible for this matter, if he could persuade a few words yesterday and let Aunt Zhao's family and Wang Baiyu follow them on a cruise, maybe none of these things would have happened.
It is true that you need to be careful with fire candles when the weather is dry, but in broad daylight, how can there be fire candles outside? Unless someone deliberately ignites the flowers!
Qin Shen thanked the officials and sent them out.
Looking at the crying Qiao Su, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
After all, it has already happened, so what can be done with more consolation? It's impossible to bring three children back to life. Qin Shen knew that no matter what he said at this moment, Qiao Su and Wang Baiyu would not be able to listen, so he had no choice but to observe the traces around him.
Then Qin Shen found that the most seriously damaged was their storefront, that is...... It is very likely that the chili pepper flowers in front of their store first caught fire, and then burned their yard and other surrounding plants, so the neighbors' homes or storefronts were also burned.
It's just that why was it so coincidental at that time, Aunt Zhao and Wang Baiyu were not in the store?
After Uncle Qiao cried for a while, he looked back at Qin Shen: "Let's go to Uncle Zhao's house to have a look!" ”
Wang Baiyu said at this time: "At that time, it happened too suddenly, and I was reminded by the official messenger to only accept the money box. I put the money box in Master and Master's room and locked the door. With that, Wang Baiyu took out the key from his arms.
Qin Shen thought about it, and then the key said to them: "You guys are waiting for me here, I'll go and get some silver, I think the Zhao family will also need a sum of silver here." ”
Although Qiao Su loves money, she is not stingy, so she nodded happily: "Then you go quickly, we are waiting for you here." ”
Qin Shen quickly walked in, opened the door of the house, and found that there were two money boxes inside, one was used by Qiao Su to save money on weekdays, and the other was used to hold broken silver and copper plates on weekdays.
He opened the box containing the broken silver and found that there was a lot less in it, if Wang Baiyu went out to buy ingredients, he shouldn't need a lot of silver, so it means that the person who took the money was Aunt Zhao. What did she do with the money?
It was impossible for Qin Shen to go out with the money box, so he quickly went to the cabinet to find the money bag, and then packed the silver coins in the two boxes separately
In fact, their house was not burning, but it was so dark that it was smoked everywhere, looking at the clothes and oil-paper umbrellas in the corner, Qin Shen walked directly past them, and did not take them, anyway, they were already soaked at this time, if they put on the clothes again, it would only make themselves more uncomfortable.
And it's impossible to ask Wang Baiyu and Qiao Su to come in to change clothes at this time, they can't wait to fly to Zhao's house at this time, how can they come in to change clothes? So after Qin Shen locked the door of the house, he strode out. The door has burned down, so naturally it can't be locked, but there's nothing left in this store, and it's not locked...... It doesn't matter anymore.
When Qin Shen went out, he saw Qiao Su and Wang Baiyu sobbing and talking, and he let out a sigh of relief, which he really couldn't imagine...... They just went out for a cruise, and something like this happened, he walked up to them and said softly: "Don't cry, let's go to Zhao's house quickly and have a look, there should be a lot of things to be busy over there." ”
