After the rainstorm, it did not wash away the dirt on the ground, but on the contrary, made the already dusty ground muddy. The remaining rainwater remains on the uneven surface, and pedestrians step on dirty footprints one after another.

Because of the traffic jam, it was already evening when Fang Lubai and Shi An returned to the bureau.

The dampness after the rain is still in people's breathing, but the sweltering heat that weighs on people's hearts has not dissipated.

Seeing Fang Lubai's slightly dull expression, everyone asked Shi An with their eyes, wondering what the situation was now.

Shi An spread his hands, saying that he didn't know.

Seeing that the royal followers around Captain Fang were all right, everyone clamped their tails and behaved, for fear of upsetting the boss at this stall.

For a while, the entire police station was quiet.

In fact, looking at Fang Lubai's attitude, Shi An understood in his heart that the captain was thinking about the case. The reason why everyone misunderstands is just to let him have a good thinking environment.

"You go and copy the identity information of the deceased through the database and give me a copy."

"Okay." Nodding, Shi An began to prepare the materials that Fang Lubai needed.

After everyone left his side, Fang Lubai looked at the watch on his wrist and fell into deep thought.

What did he mean by the somewhat hazy back in the smoke in the sea of fire in the picture he had just seen? Could it be that there was a fourth person in the family of three who died?

"Shi An, you immediately go and call the neighborhood committee of He'an Community and ask how many people there are in the family where the accident happened."

"Yes." When Shi An heard Fang Lubai's words, he nodded hurriedly and got in touch with the person in charge of the community.

After a while, Shi An said to the other party with a solemn face: "Fang team, there are four people in the family where the accident occurred. ”

"Four people......" Fang Lubai pinched the bridge of his nose, and then opened his eyes, "Yan Wei, have the autopsy results of the forensic team come out?" How's the comparison? ”

Yan Wei, who had just come out of the autopsy office, walked in with a stack of materials and put them on the table: "The autopsy results are a woman and two men, and through checking and comparing evidence, it is preliminarily determined that they are the parents and sons of the family." ”

"You went to the site to investigate just now, and I also learned some detailed information here. Because the burns on the corpse were so severe, it was no longer possible to tell what the cause of death was. ”

"But by extrapolation of the bones, two of them are the bodies of adult males and one is the corpse of a female. According to the samples taken by the forensic doctor from the stomach of the female corpse, the deceased had a very serious stomach problem before his death, and what he learned through the deceased's neighbors before, only the mother in this family suffered from stomach problems, so the identity of the deceased was basically determined. ”

"So, there's another person who isn't there?" Fang Lubai's eyes darkened when he heard this, "Then this disappeared ...... Where did the people go? ”

After a short silence, the solemn atmosphere of the office was finally broken by Liu Chuqi's voice: "Team, the information of the victim has been collected." ”

Glancing at the information, Fang Lubai summoned everyone to the office and simply assigned the next task.

"Yan Wei and Liu Chuqi are in a group to check the social relationship of the victim's family, and pay attention to the son's school."

"Zhang Tianqi, you go to the various public security bureaus in S City to release a message, and ask them to pay attention to whether there is a missing girl reporting the case or something."

"As for Shi An," Fang Lubai said, glancing at the girl beside him, "Continue to walk with me to the scene." ”

The long-lasting gloom hovered over the community, and the death of a family was like a shadow, forming a huge whirlpool that covered everyone's hearts with a layer of frost.

When I returned to the He'an community again, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed. The house that had been scorched by the fire stood here alone, and the grass and trees at the door, which were already not prosperous, looked extremely desolate because of the calamity.

Suddenly, Shi An saw an old woman in the shadows.

The old man stood in the dark with a cower, quietly watching the place around the corner about twenty meters from the house.

Shi An suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

She stepped forward to inquire, but the old woman shrank into the corridor as soon as she took a step.

"What's wrong?" Noticing her strange appearance, Fang Lubai asked out loud.

Shi An suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and the other party shook his head with a white smile: "It's nothing." After speaking, his eyes glanced at the place where the old woman appeared just now.

Maybe it's because I'm worried about getting something unclean, so I look like that.

The atheist Shi An persuaded himself in his heart, and then concentrated on following Fang Lubai.

The first to spot and report the fire was the upstairs occupants.

Because a large amount of smoke suddenly appeared in the toilet of their house, and then they went downstairs to investigate, they found that the house on the first floor was on fire, so they immediately called the police.

When the police arrived, the fire was showing signs of getting out of control, and the glass windows on the first floor burst because they could not withstand the heat wave, injuring several people watching the excitement.

Thinking that the doors and windows were closed as Captain Sun said before, Fang Lubai checked the lock on the glass window, it was indeed a trace of locking, and he thought about it.

Because the doors and windows were locked, the fire was not brought under control in the first place, and by the time the fire was all burned, a large amount of smoke went up through the sewer pipes, so that the upstairs residents found smoke in their bathrooms had a reasonable explanation.

"Captain, did you find anything?"

Shi An, who had been wandering around here for a long time, still found nothing, looking at Fang Lubai who was contemplative next to him, Shi An asked out loud.

Who knew that Fang Lubai suddenly asked Shi An a question: "Shi An, tell me, what is the reaction of ordinary people when they suffer from a fire?" ”

After hearing this, Shi An nodded his chin: "Ordinary people must be self-rescue in the event of a fire, and basic first aid knowledge should be known." It's like wetting a towel with water, covering your mouth and nose, and minimizing smoke into your lungs. The worst will also ask for help to protect themselves. ”

"Do you think that at this distance from the first floor, even if you wake up in your sleep and find yourself in a sea of fire, you will close your doors and windows and remain indifferent? Or can you deal with the threat of death? ”

"Definitely not!" After hearing this, Shi An said casually, "Even if it is really suicide, I will not choose such a painful way, after all, people sometimes can't control their instincts." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi An's eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Lubai's gaze a little stunned.

"Captain, you mean ......"

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Fang Lubai's eyes flashed, and then he spoke: "Unless ......"

"The man is dead."
