S City has always been a city at the forefront of the world, and it has everything that a bustling metropolis should have. With the lights on all night, the towering buildings, and the huge LED screens showing expensive advertisements all the time, people walking will stop and stay, but there are very few who can really afford it.

At the top of the food chain are people who are struggling under the glitzy façade. In countless dark corners where the sun does not shine, dirt grows unchecked. They are like silt, all over the shiny skin, everywhere.

After the taxi drove to the door of the police station, Shi Ansai gave the money to the master, and didn't even care whether the master was looking for money, and rushed directly to the police station.

Liu Chuqi, who was shocked by Shi An's speed, also ran to the police station after taking the change from the master.

"Squadron, what's the situation?"

didn't have time to say hello to others, Shi An wiped the rain on his face casually, and happened to bump into Fang Lubai, who was holding the key and preparing to go out.

Seeing Shi An's appearance, Fang Lubai frowned, and then spoke: "You came just in time, go to the scene with me." ”

"Okay." Without saying a word, Shi An took the information handed over by Fang Lubai, followed behind him, and walked towards the police car outside.

When Liu Chuqi came in, what he saw was the backs of Shi An and Fang Lubai walking forward.

"What kind of case, the team is in such a hurry?"

Pulling the hood off his head, Liu Chuqi asked as he pulled Yan Wei who was passing by.

"Did you see that video from the previous circle of friends? It's the video that caught fire that went viral in the circle of friends before. ”

"See, doesn't it mean that whoever didn't pay attention to the electricity at home caused the fire?" Yan Wei's words made Liu Chuqi a little puzzled.

"It's a big fire, but when you see a fire, the criminal police brigade has to be dispatched? Three people were burned alive in the house of the person who caught fire. Taking the information out of the printer, Yan Wei patted Liu Chuqi's head, "Have a snack." ”

After being hit for no reason, Liu Chuqi glared at Yan Wei, and then returned to his seat to search for information about the fire just now.

On the other side, the two people sitting in the police car did not have very good expressions.

"What kind of case is this? Arson? Flipping through the information Fang Lubai gave him, Shi An asked with a twisted eyebrow.

While driving the car, Fang Lubai said: "I don't know the specific situation yet, but according to the reaction of the fire brigade, there are three deceased. ”

Thinking about the electricity problem that Liu Chuqi said before, Shi An guessed: "The words of the three people...... Maybe a family of three? Is it the aging of the line and did not pay attention to ......"

"If that's the case, why don't they run out for help?" Seeing the red light, Fang Lubai stopped the car, his eyes still staring ahead.

"You mean...... Murder? Thinking of the flaming picture on the previous video, Shi An's heart sank, "What kind of deep hatred is this, you must kill the whole family......"

After the red light turned green, Fang Lubai put the car in gear.

"You'll know in the past."

He'an Community

Human beings are often the most contradictory animals, they are afraid of the unknown, and on the other hand, they can't suppress the curiosity that grows like weeds in their hearts. Driven by this, they tend to overcome their fears and come into contact with things and things that would otherwise seem impossible to touch.

Just like now, even though the three bodies had just been removed by the firefighters, there were still many people screaming and taking two steps back, while secretly opening their blindfolded fingers in an attempt to see the things that clearly scared him.

When Fang Lubai and Shi An arrived, they saw such a scene.

The smell of burnt food was lingering in the air, and the entire house was burned beyond recognition, even the upstairs occupants were affected.

On the pitch-black ground, Shi An saw three charred corpses side by side on the ground.

The criminal police who arrived immediately cordoned off the scene and dispersed the crowd of onlookers.

"Looking at the extent of the damage to this house, I'm afraid it has been burning for a while."

Fang Lubai put on gloves, inspected the scene, and talked to the captain of the fire brigade.

"Isn't it? We came as soon as we got the alarm, but the fire was already so fierce that almost half of the house was burned. The fire chief said as he wiped the sweat from his head.

"Captain Sun, why didn't you find anyone trapped inside?" Glancing at the three corpses on the ground, Shi An asked out loud.

At the mention of this, the slightly older fire captain raised his head, and his face darkened by smoke stains revealed deep remorse.

"When we rushed over, we directly started to extinguish the fire, because the people from the neighborhood committee said that the residents had escaped, and we didn't hear any cries for help, so we didn't expect that there would be people inside......

"Didn't expect anyone to be inside?" Shi An frowned, "I didn't make a cry for help, probably because I was asleep at the time, and then I was choked by the smoke and inhaled the fainting caused by my lungs......"

As a result, before Shi An's words were finished, he was interrupted by Fang Lubai: "Captain Sun, are the doors and windows on the first floor closed?" ”

Captain Sun lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "The doors and windows are closed. ”

"Fang team, what do you mean ......?"

Looking at Fang Lubai's unusually serious expression, Shi Anxin was a little uneasy.

But Fang Lubai didn't pay attention to these at this moment, he walked to the door of the small building that was charred, and looked at the mess inside.

He glanced at the watch on his wrist, and it was no more than seven hours since he reported the crime.

When he touched the door frame, Fang Lubai's whole body flickered-

The next moment, he was in a sea of fire.

Billowing smoke filled the surroundings, and tongues of fire were like a swaggering Grim Reaper, mercilessly licking everything around him that could be touched by his eyes.

Fang Lubai stood in the living room, he tried to raise his feet in vain, but found that he couldn't move no matter what, and he couldn't make the slightest sound from his open mouth, he was like a spectator, he could only watch all this coldly in this firelight.

The next moment, he saw the back of a man leaving.

It was the back of a young man with a black cap and a large gray jacket wrapped in it.

When Fang Lubai wanted to take a closer look, those scenes were like waking up from a dream, and suddenly all of them disappeared.

Shi An watched Fang Lubai stand holding on to the door frame for a long time, thinking that he had found some clues, so he hurriedly went up to check. But nothing was found but darkness.

"Fang team, what do you see? So distracted? ”

Shi An's words woke up Fang Lubai, who was still immersed in his thoughts, he glanced at the burned and somewhat deformed door frame, and then said, "It's nothing, let's go back to the bureau first." ”

As he spoke, he walked straight forward.

This case is definitely not simple.
