Chapter 829: Fire
When Qin Shen arrived at the restaurant, the fire in the restaurant was already burning, and the people who watched the water club splash over one by one, but it had no effect, after all, the restaurant was full of wood products, and the weather was very dry at this time, so of course it was out of control after the fire started.
Because the fire in the dry pot house was too big, people from the surrounding shops came quickly, and they were all worried that their shops would be in danger. But the one across the street is fine, but the shops next to the dry pot house on both sides of the dry pot house are already in danger.
Qin Shen moved his nose, and smelled the smell of fire oil in the billowing smoke, and sure enough...... This is because some people are afraid that the dry pot will not burn fast enough and not thoroughly enough, but it is just ...... Who is it? Is it really Li Wanjin? He was actually a little suspicious, after all, Li Wanjin had fled, even if Li Wanjin had the ability to secretly return to Shunzhou at this time, but why would Li Wanjin do such a thing that put himself in danger? Isn't that too much to lose?
"Mr. Qin." Many officials in the yamen knew Qin Shen, and when they saw him coming, they naturally went over to greet him, after all, Qin Shen not only had a relationship with the Wang family, but also knew each other with their prefect!
"Ahh I'm really sorry that such a thing happened in our restaurant, so that you all went down and came here to star. Qin Shen looked at several officials with some apologies in his eyes.
The officials hurriedly told Qin Shen that it didn't matter, before there was no curfew, they were actually not subordinates.
"Did anyone see how the fire started?" The eldest brother of the Wang family has already arrived in his official uniform.
He saw that Qin Shen was also there, so he nodded with Qin Shen.
Someone immediately told Lord Wang what had happened.
At this time, a lot of nods are closed, so no one really notices how the dry pot house is on fire, after all, the dry pot house has been closed for a while, and no one will pay attention here, but this fire should have started in the backyard, and when the street saw the fire, the fire was already very big.
The person who first discovered the fire on the opposite side of the shop immediately went to find the water club, and the water club knew that the restaurant was on fire, so they immediately reported it to the official.
The eldest brother of the Wang family nodded, "You have worked hard!" Go and keep order and don't let anyone approach here. The matter of controlling the fire is to listen to the water meeting, you immediately go to the neighborhood to investigate, to see if anyone finds any suspicious people, this restaurant is not open, it is impossible to catch fire for no reason, someone must have done something! ”
"Yes!" Several officials immediately clenched their fists, and except for the officials who maintained order here, everyone else went to the neighborhood to look for clues.
The eldest brother of the Wang family looked at Qin Shen, "Is there a suspicious object?" ”
Qin Shen shook his head, "Although Li Wanjin and Niu Ruoshui are very good, I don't think it's them." Even if Li Wanjin really came back, how could he waste his efforts in a restaurant that we have not opened? And Niu Ruoshui should have been released from the yamen this evening, and I am not optimistic about her ability. ”
"yes!" The eldest brother of the Wang family frowned, "If Li Wanjin really can't forget the hatred with you, wouldn't it be better for him to burn down your house with a fire?" It's really not necessary to burn a restaurant that is no longer open! And...... We are very well guarded at the gates, and the portraits of wanted people are all over the city, and if he had been smart, he would not have returned. This fire is not so much revenge as ......"
"More of a warning, isn't it?" Qin Shen looked at the restaurant that had fallen into the sea of fire with a calm face and said.
The eldest brother of the Wang family turned his head slightly, "Do you think so too?" ”
"Could it be related to the Sea Dragon Gang and the Cao Gang?" Qin Shen's face was even more majestic reflected by the firelight, and the gaze he looked at the eldest brother of the Wang family actually made the eldest brother of the Wang family feel the pressure.
The eldest brother of the Wang family thought for a moment, "It's hard to say, there are some things...... I can't say until the adults decide to make it public. ”
"I understand." Qin Shen sighed, "After the fire is extinguished, let's see if there is anything to be found inside, right?" ”
When the fire is extinguished, don't say that it is a dry pot house, even the shops on both sides are almost burned, it is estimated that there is no way to operate it again without renovation, and the dry pot house is not just as simple as renovation, it needs to be rebuilt.
Watching the officials rush into the restaurant that had become a ruin, Qin Shen also stepped in, it was scorched black everywhere, and the entire lobby could no longer be seen as it was, it was really difficult to find clues in such a situation.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the official errand who rushed to the backyard to run out, and someone came over with a few burned fragments and whispered a few words to the eldest brother of the Wang family, and the eldest brother of the Wang family nodded and asked them to pack up their things.
"What did you find?" Qin Shen asked.
The eldest brother of the Wang family wrapped a piece of shards in a handkerchief and showed it to Qin Shen, "Is this something from your restaurant?" ”
Qin Shen glanced at it and shook his head, "The things in our restaurant have been emptied, although there are some pots and bowls in the backyard, they are all porcelain, not this kind of pottery." He leaned in to look at the shard, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the jar that the arsonists used to hold the oil." ”
"I think so, too." The eldest brother of the Wang family handed the things back to the official and said to Qin Shen: "It's difficult to find clues from this, but I've already asked people to find and piece together all the pieces to see if they can find anything on it, but ...... I think instead of waiting for this result, it is better to wait and see if anyone sees anything suspicious. ”
Qin Shen pursed the corners of his lips, "If it's a warning, I'm afraid nothing will be discovered." ”
"I'll do my best." The eldest brother of the Wang family assured.
"Thank you." Qin Shen took out the money bag from his clothes and gave a silver ticket of fifty taels to the eldest brother of the Wang family, "You can't let everyone work in vain, and the water will not come in vain, and the surrounding shops also need to be appeased." ”
The eldest brother of the Wang family took the silver ticket, "This was originally an accident, fifty taels is enough." ”
Although Qin Shen had expected this matter, when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but sigh, "If Asu is here, he will definitely be sad." ”
"Yes! It is estimated that Xiaobai will jump tomorrow! Thinking of Wang Baiyu, who would jump up and down, the eldest brother of the Wang family had a headache.
Qin Shen naturally understood what the eldest brother of the Wang family was annoying about, he smiled, "Xiaobai and An Zhi are staying in the Wang Mansion tonight?" ”
"Yes! Didn't Master Qiao make a new meal? So Xiaobai came back to show us his skills! The eldest brother of the Wang family said helplessly.
"In that case, you can go back and let them come to our house early tomorrow morning, this matter...... I'll let Aso talk to Xiaobai! Qin Shen said.
The eldest brother of the Wang family's eyes lit up, and then thanked him, "It's curfew now, I'll let someone send you back!" ”
"Good!"
