When the off-road vehicle drove to the North Market Police Station, it was just after noon, and many policemen went out to eat, leaving only a few on duty.

"Yo~~ Captain Lu, why do you have time to come to us?" A middle-aged policeman was eating takeout, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Lingyun and quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked.

"Brother Gong~~ Eating? The food is good. Lu Lingyun met an acquaintance and greeted him happily.

"Here, I have a pair of handy chopsticks here, let's eat some together." The policeman known as Brother Gong warmly invited, but Lu Lingyun waved his hand and politely declined.

"Not today, is Director Li here at work?"

"Looking for him, unfortunately, he took a day off for something at home, are you in a hurry to find him? Or I'll give you a call. ”

Lu Lingyun stretched out his hand and pulled over two chairs and put them next to Officer Gong's table, glanced at me, I understood, and quickly sat down, he also sat down, and then took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed one to Officer Gong.

"Brother Gong, I want to inquire about a fire in the antique street in Laobei City fifteen years ago."

"You're asking about the Du family's case fifteen years ago." As Officer Gong spoke, Lu Lingyun and I nodded and listened to him carefully.

"In fact, I didn't have a long time when I arrived in the station when the Du family fire, and I helped with the follow-up cleaning work, and the burning was really miserable, and the couple pushed their only son to a narrow vent, so that the child was not choked to death, but unfortunately the adults did not survive." Officer Gong said and took a deep puff on his cigarette.

"Is there any room for the fire?" Lu Lingyun asked.

"Yes, the results of the fire department and the police station are there, you know that the houses in the antique street are all wooden structures, and they can burn up if they get a spark, I remember that it seems to be caused by a short circuit in the charger." Officer Gong said as he stood up and went to the archives to get the materials.

Soon he came back with an extra information bag, and the long-sealed case was found again, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

What is the truth?

Whether Gu Hongjun, Zhou Rentian and Zhang Xiao were treacherous, had bad intentions because of money, or was it just a fire, I really want to know the answer.

Lu Lingyun opened the string wrapped around the bag again and again, and my heart also rose to my throat.

A few photos slipped along with the paper papers, and I reached out and took them.

The 6-inch color photo restores the scene after the fire at that time, the charred and dilapidated small building is like a black charcoal building, and the furniture and electrical appliances can no longer be seen, and the original warm home turned to ashes overnight.

One of the photographs shows a boxy object, with the No. 5 rechargeable battery looming in sight, which has not yet fully melted.

"Brother Lu, look at this."

Lu Lingyun took the photo from my hand and said: "This kind of thing used to be very popular, and some cameras and toys use rechargeable batteries, which has certain safety risks. ”

I asked Officer Gong, "Is this the cause of the fire?" ”

"Well, the fire and our judgment is consistent, it seems that the day before the fire, the Du family and his wife bought a birthday gift for their son, a remote-controlled car, worried that there would be no battery on their son's birthday, so they plugged it into the socket row next to the wall, and as a result, the charger overheated and ignited the wooden wall, which eventually led to a fire."

"Not arson?" I muttered to myself, and Lu Lingyun rearranged the materials and returned them to Officer Gong.

"Thank you, Brother Gong, it seems that we have to hurry up and find Du Baoyu to avoid him making mistakes again and again."

After we said goodbye to Officer Gong and left the police station, Fang Guodong called and said that Du Baoyu's whereabouts had been found.

In a more prosperous area of the city center, a police car is parked under a 30-story office building.

Fang Guodong and Yang Lu got out of the car when they saw us arrive.

"Team Lu, on the twenty-second floor of Rongxin Investment Company, I just called, and the front desk said that he had never left."

Lu Lingyun listened to Fang Guodong's words and frowned.

"Questions?" I asked him curiously.

"Do murderers choose to go back to work after committing a crime? Unless he is absolutely sure that the police will not be able to convict him, everything is too unreasonable. ”

"That's right~~ Let's go up and see if he can run." I was anxious to meet this man who had never died and how he explained his relationship with the two cases.

The four of them took the elevator together to reach the 22nd floor of Rongxin Investment Company, and Lu Lingyun showed his ID at the front desk and asked Du Baoyu directly where he was at the moment.

The receptionist said in a panic, "He should be in his office." ”

"Please, take us over for a moment."

"Okay... Good. ”

The receptionist walked in front of us with small steps from the front desk, the staff in the public office area looked at the four of us with strange eyes, and the sound of hurried leather shoes soon arrived in front of Du Baoyu's room, and the receptionist knocked on the door and whispered: "Manager Du, there is a police officer looking for you." ”

"Please come in." There was a response from inside.

The door was pushed open, and there was only one person in the neat room.

The man behind the desk looked away from the computer monitor and looked at us with a slightly surprised expression.

"Hello, is there anything wrong with me?" The man stood up and tugged at the corner of his suit with both hands and asked.

"Are you Du Baoyu?" I looked him up and down, white shirt and black suit, neat short hair, and he looked like a company white-collar worker, which was far from what I expected.

The murderer who killed two people in a row, even if he was not a butcher with a thick face and a beard, should not be a scholar with a polite and weak temperament.

"Yes, I am Du Baoyu." The man's affirmative answer made me feel cold, maybe he really responded to Lu Lingyun's guess, this case is not simple.

Lu Lingyun showed him his ID and asked him to go back to the city bureau with us for investigation.

Du Baoyu did not show the slightest sense of resistance and fully cooperated with the police's questioning.

In the interrogation room of a team in the city bureau building, Lu Lingyun and Jin Teddy were in charge of interrogation, and the other police officers came to the next door to observe, and I stood in front of the one-way mirror to watch the situation inside.

"Name."

"Du Baoyu."

"Age."

"Twenty-four. Officer, can I ask why I came here? ”

Jin Zi asked rhetorically, "Don't you know that you killed two people?" ”

"I killed someone? Why, I don't have anyone I hate, life and work are very smooth, why should I kill people? ”

This time, Lu Lingyun said: "Your parents died in a fire fifteen years ago, remember. ”

Du Baoyu's face suddenly sank, and said: "Of course I remember, it was an accident that shouldn't have happened, but I have already let go, and then I got a good education in the orphanage, and I was admitted to the School of Finance at the age of seventeen, and I was signed into the company by the boss of Rongxin Investment before I graduated at the age of twenty, and now I have become a department manager." ”

I stood behind the one-way mirror and listened to Du Baoyu's introduction, which was simply jealous.

The character of Xueba is deeply imprinted in my heart, and I even feel that he has no need to kill those two people to destroy his future.
