Chapter 18 Caught Wrong
The little boy who was tortured by a song and longed to fly thousands of miles away was shocked to the point that he was paralyzed, knelt on the ground and muttered with teary eyes, "I'm sorry... I was wrong... I'm sorry... I was wrong... Sorry ......"
These two sentences were repeated over and over again.
The right hand of the weighing nine pounds touched the boy's pale cheek, and his thumb gently wiped the hot teardrops from his cheeks, "Go in peace." ”
The bear child obediently went-
That's impossible.
At the end of the requiem, the surroundings were suddenly quiet, neither of them moved, and the weight of nine catties maintained a half-squatting and bending posture, and the atmosphere was suddenly embarrassing when the connection was unsuccessful.
The little boy in front of him looked up with his head up, and his dark eyes faintly showed a joyful flame, and he murmured aggrievedly, "Why don't you stop, why don't you still shut up, I've already apologized... Why ......"
The nine-pound smile froze on his lips, and there was no hint of the success of the quest for a long time, the temperature around him was still rising, and the red clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, which was not a good sign.
"Do you want to sing it again?"
Just as she hesitated, the reddish-brown figure suddenly jumped up, fell down and grabbed her collar and dragged her back.
The moment he weighed nine catties and was knocked down and dragged away by Mao Tuanzi, the little boy who was stimulated turned red and turned into flames, and in an instant, that area was swallowed by tongues of fire.
The boy disappeared in the flames, but the flames were not extinguished, and the question of 'damn it' could be faintly heard.
The fire began to spread in all directions.
Weighing nine pounds, he got up from the ground and looked at the burning house, his face was solemn, as if he saw himself engulfed by flames.
Why, why didn't the quest success prompt appear when she caught the arsonist, was it the wrong time?
The sudden ringing of the phone "Ringing Ring" startled her, and she subconsciously looked at the burnt hairy balls not far away.
was rewarded with a look of contempt.
Heavy nine pounds saw the call request popping up on the personal terminal and was stunned for a moment, it turned out that you could still make a call in the copy.
Captain Zhang's tone was a little anxious, "I went to the hospital just now, and they said you have been discharged?" ”
"I'm at the northern suburbs dump."
"Hah, why did you get there?"
"Find a house." Heavy Jiujin thought about it, and replied casually, "My house has been sold, and it will be handed over to the buyer in a few days, I can't always stay in the hospital, so let's see if there is a suitable cheap rental house." ”
Just when he weighed nine pounds and was thinking about whether he wanted to take the opportunity to trouble Captain Zhang to convey his last words, Captain Zhang continued, "There are often fires in low-rent houses in the northern suburbs of the garbage dump, and there was a fire just four days ago, burning dozens of houses. ”
"Pet cats?"
"Yes, it's the truck driver, Li Xiangdong, one of the deceased people we found from the corpse thieves, he lived here before his death, and the cat that saved a lot of people was his family's pet, a wild cat picked up on the side of the road, but unfortunately the cat couldn't escape the fire and was burned to death."
weighed nine catties and suddenly understood, why did he feel that Mao Tuanzi was familiar, and the pet that appeared in the family photo in Li Xiangdong's memory fragment was this Mao Tuanzi.
"Are there frequent fires in the garbage dump in the northern suburbs?"
"Since the beginning of 2052, there have been nearly 100 fires in the slum near this dumpsite, large and small, almost every two or three months."
Such a box house weighs nine pounds when I was a child, and the cheap house with a high concentration of building density is most afraid of fire, the road is narrow and there is no fire escape, the fire truck can't get in, and the people inside can't run out, once the fire happens, it is a dead end, but the power lines are complex, the facilities are old, and there are many potential safety hazards.
Fires in such environments are not surprising, but the slums have one of the highest levels of fires.
"Captain Zhang, have you heard of the fire that happened here twelve years ago?"
"Strange to say, the fires here started 12 years ago, and since that fire, there have been several strange fires here every year."
From Captain Zhang's weight, it was determined that every time the residents she met talked about the fire in the dungeon, it was real.
"Li Xiangdong's wife died of self-immolation because she couldn't bear the accidental fire that caused her daughter, and last year, a waste picker caused a short circuit when he boiled water, and a fire burned himself and the elderly of the neighbors next door to death, and not long after that, several of his neighbors accidentally exploded when they were cooking, and they also burned to death."
"This place is a bit evil, even if the rent is very low, it is not really desperate, no one will come to live here."
"What happened to the boy who set fire to that fire twelve years ago when he came home?"
"He was burned to death, at that time some people said that he committed suicide and some people said that he was retaliated by the family of the deceased, and later found that he was locked in an abandoned car in the garbage dump, and the person was already charred, his grandmother couldn't accept the reality, and searched for it near the garbage dump day by day, and then disappeared, well, this is in my jurisdiction, I heard from my colleagues when I was just transferred, why do you pay attention to these?"
"Curious, just ask." It's a matter of whether she can see the clouds of the old land tomorrow, can she not pay attention?
Weigh nine pounds and sort out the information you currently have in your mind.
Twelve years ago, a bear child burned hundreds of people to death, and after his accidental escape, he was scolded and cursed by his ancestors for 18 generations, and everyone shouted and beat them like rats crossing the street, and finally found burning to death in an abandoned car in a garbage dump.
It is likely that he was not self-immolating but retaliated against.
The car that burned him down might be the key, and he felt like he should find the car as soon as possible, as well as his grandmother.
The grandmother who had been looking for her grandson was dragging a broken leg, probably falling into the garbage pit while looking for her grandson, or accidentally fell somewhere, so old, she was likely to die in such a fall.
The quest calls for catching the arsonist, but she caught the boy at the time, so why hasn't the quest ended?
"Caught the wrong one." A thought came to mind, his brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered to himself, "Unless that boy is not an arsonist at all, and he did not set the fire that burned more than a hundred people." ”
"What?" Captain Zhang didn't hear clearly.
"Captain Zhang, how did you determine that the arson was the boy in the fire twelve years ago, and there are no other suspects?"
There was a hint of anxiety and nervousness in his nine-pound voice.
Although Captain Zhang was puzzled, he didn't hesitate, "You wait, I'll check the historical archives." ”
The temperature around him was getting hotter and hotter, and the box house was lit up one after another, and he looked at the palm of his right hand, and the lifeline was three-quarters black.
