Chapter 21: The moon is dark and the wind is high

The fire was burning in the middle of the night, and the owner of the southern goods store woke up from his sleep, and only his family had a telephone in this alley, so he shivered and called the police. When the firefighters rushed over, half of the sky in Qingni Lane was red, the adults shouted that the children were crying, and Mrs. Huang shouted that the little aunt at home hugged her box, and I don't know whose grandmother called for my clothes and hadn't taken them out yet!

Zhao Nan woke up to the terrible sound of the fire truck, and the little squirrel Dunzi was so frightened that he jumped on his pillow and burrowed into his quilt.

Zhao Nan got up, pushed open the window, and saw a red light in the south, and the sound came faintly from there.

Zhao Nan slapped his head: "Oops, Lin Haiyang is afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

He put on his clothes and hurried out, but the little squirrel could not keep up with his master's movements, and squatted on the windowsill and squeaked urgently.

Such a big fire made the headlines of various newspapers the next day.

"The fire in Qingni Lane, the firefighters only care about robbery and do not put out the fire!"

A family of six died in the fire, and the head of the household was a colleague from the press."

"Firefighters claim arson, deny rumors of poor rescue"

"The city-government ordered the police department to strictly investigate the fire on Qingni Road and give an explanation to the public."

Zhao Nan angrily slapped a stack of newspapers on Ye Quan's desk: "What's going on?" ”

"You should ask Lin Haiyang about this."

The leaf limit is not raised, and he concentrates on drawing a five-petaled small plum blossom on his nails.

"Four children, that's four children."

"That's right, then why did you make trouble and didn't let Song Wen send away a child? That way, the army won't be wiped out. ”

Ye Liang replied lightly.

"But...... I just guided it properly and didn't ......"

"You are wrong, once the contract is signed, it will be executed, whether it is revenge or revenge is in the heart of the signatory, his mistake is that he is too greedy, if he pays a sum of money and gambles his own life, it is okay, and in the end he just eats his body, but unfortunately he refuses to suffer a little loss, gambling the life of the whole family."

Ye Liang threw down the paintbrush in his hand, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Zhao Nan's eyes: "Is my painting good-looking?" ”

"But ......"

"No, it's all fate." Ye Quan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Nan's chest, "I've always wondered how you can maintain a pure heart." ”

Zhao Nan hung his head helplessly: "I thought I would stop him from selling his daughter, but I didn't expect to end up with the child's life." ”

"The problem is not that, the problem is how innocent the four pure souls are, and they can't come to me to sign a pact to take revenge on those who hurt them. But it doesn't matter, that person won't have a good life for long. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Liang smiled: "I really didn't expect that a scholar could have such a ruthless heart, so it's okay, we just need to take advantage of the situation and expose all suspicions in front of the police." ”

At noon that day, at the gate of Pujiang Evening News, Lin Haiyang jumped out of the rickshaw and collided with a passing woman.

The woman was dressed in a cheongsam, black shoes and white socks, carrying a blue cloth schoolbag, looking like a student, she seemed to be injured, and fell to the ground crying out in pain.

Lin Haiyang had no choice but to lean over and ask, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"My legs ...... I can't move my legs. You look like a reader, how can you walk without looking at the dots. ”

Lin Haiyang didn't know how they bumped into each other, and when he saw that the woman turned around, she had a white and almost transparent little face, biting her lip, and her teary eyes looked pitiful, so he swallowed the words of questioning, "Miss, I'll take you to the hospital." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help the woman get up, but the woman seemed to have a terrible leg pain, and she couldn't care about the big problems between men and women, and the whole person was almost paralyzed on him. Warm fragrance and warm jade, Lin Haiyang still wanted to be a humble gentleman, for a while his body was tense, and his palms began to sweat, he helped the woman to the side of the road, and was about to beckon a rickshaw to come over, the woman suddenly said: "It's much better to move, now I'm not in much pain, forget it, I'm going to be late for class, don't go to the hospital." ”

"Will it be okay?" Lin Haiyang pointed to the newspaper building and said, "I am the editor-in-chief of Pujiang, surnamed Lin, if there is anything wrong with the young lady after the future, just come to me." ”

The woman nodded: "Thank you, it hurt just now, don't take it to heart if my tone is not good." Oh, sir, I heard in the morning that something happened to the editor of your newspaper? Ah, I'm so mouthful. ”

Lin Haiyang nodded, and there was no sadness on his face: "Yes, it's unfortunate." ”

"Then you won't go to his funeral?"

The woman asked curiously.

Lin Haiyang woke up like a dream: Yes, I was so busy all morning that I forgot about it, Song asked the whole family to be killed, and the newspaper should come forward," he said goodbye and hurriedly walked to the newspaper office.

The woman looked at his back and smiled: "Nothing is right after that, Mr. Lin." ”

She opened the blue flower schoolbag, and inside it was Lin Haiyang's wallet and lighter.

The mud road was now pitch black, and the surviving houses were scorched and scorched, standing alone.

Mrs. Huang and several women sat on the side of the road with their children in their arms, waiting for the Red Cross relief.

When the stinky tofu stall passed through the rubble, the children's faces showed extraordinary excitement and eagerness.

Zhao Nan put down his burden and began to fry stinky tofu on the side of the road. Mrs. Huang said angrily: "We have all become like this, you still only want to do business, do you still have a conscience?" ”

"This lady, you misunderstood, I used to come here to sell stinky tofu, today I heard that there is a disaster here, I am here to condole, please eat the little hairy heads, no money."

As soon as the children heard that they could eat stinky tofu without spending money, they all gathered around happily.

"Why don't you see the little girl that day, the one who is so tall and has a small braid?" Zhao Nan gave the children tofu and asked with a gesture.

"Oh, you're talking about the children of the Song family, they haven't come out." Mrs. Huang sighed, "A family of six is so ......"

"I've heard people say it's arson, who would be so ruthless."

Zhao Nan deliberately lowered his voice and asked mysteriously.

As soon as the women heard this, they all gathered around and talked about what they knew.

"That's right, I should call the police to ask the owner of the South Goods Store, Mr. Song has received several phone calls, and he looks weird, I'm afraid that the owner of the South Goods Store can hear about the old and young." Mrs. Huang synthesized the words of the crowd and came to a conclusion.

"This lady, Nong is a mold. If the police have a brain like their wives, we will be too peaceful here. ”

Zhao Nan stretched out his thumb and praised. Mrs. Huang was praised by him, and then looked at the grizzled people, and suddenly felt that it was not a particularly miserable thing for everyone to suffer together, she pointed to the opposite road and said, "Hey, Mr. Policeman is there, I'll go and tell them." ”
