Seeing Lang Ting fleeing into the distance like a jade wind, as if there was a ghost behind him, Chen Ying hurriedly said: "General Lang, please be sure to remove the waste charcoal on the ground, observe the situation on the ground, and if there is a large piece of burnt black, please tell me." ”

"Why is that?" Before Lang Tingyu could speak, Pei Shu rushed to ask.

If you say it's looking for evidence, what's the use of lifting the charcoal to look at the ground?

Chen Ying pondered for a moment, then simply beckoned: "General Lang, please come over, and I will tell you the reason together." ”

Lang Tingyu couldn't, so he had to walk back with a bitter face, but he refused to approach, and stopped a few steps away from Pei Shu.

Pei Shu glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and strode in front of Chen Ying.

Chen Ying squatted on the ground, picked a charred wooden stick at random, and gestured:

"Generally speaking, the fire usually goes up, even if the initial fire is on the floor or on the furniture, but when the fire starts, the fire will roll up the walls on both sides and up to the ceiling...... No, it's the roof. ”

As she spoke, she carefully picked open the ruins beneath her feet with a wooden stick, revealing a small piece of the ground.

"Hey, it's not scorched." Lang Tingyu said in surprise.

Indeed, the ground that Chen Ying picked up was a little dark, which was caused by being buried in the ruins for too long, but it was not charred black.

Chen Ying pointed to a small piece of ground and said: "The fire started more than a month ago, when it was warm and cold, and I heard that there were several light rains and snows in Penglai County, so the ground was relatively wet. ”

Hearing these words, Pei Shu had already come to his senses, and then said, "I understand." After the fire broke out, the fire rolled upwards, and the beams and roof bore the brunt, which were burned and collapsed, so they were piled up on the ground, and the ground was still covered with wooden planks, and the two were stacked, and it was difficult to burn through for a while, and the sky was a little damp, so the floor of the normally burning shack was probably not scorched. ”

"Little Hou Ye got to the point." Chen Ying nodded approvingly, and continued his words: "Of course, there may also be some special circumstances that will make the floor of the normally burning shed also burn black, but this situation is special after all, and it can be ruled out for the time being." ”

At this point, she changed her words and added: "If this is a man-made arson, in order to start such a fire, there must be something that ignites the fire, such as a large amount of oil, flammable firewood, cotton and linen clothes, and so on. ”

As she spoke, she took a wooden strip and lightly tapped the board in the ruins: "This wooden house itself is easy to ignite, but due to the weather conditions at the time, it is likely that auxiliary materials are needed to cause a fire in a short period of time, and this kind of auxiliary will make the fire at the point of fire much stronger than elsewhere, in other words, if any shack even burns the ground black, that shack is likely to start a fire, or it may be the place where the arsonist started." ”

Her usual smile appeared on her face again, and she said to Pei Shu: "Of course, this is just speculation, what the actual situation is, it depends on the results of our search." ”

"Then can this room not be searched?" Lang Tingyu immediately pointed to the ruins at Chen Ying's feet and asked, with a look of longing on his face.

If you just turn up a small piece of each ruin, this errand is not difficult today.

Unfortunately, Chen Ying's answer is the opposite.

"You can't just look at that." She held up the wooden strip to draw a wide semicircle, and looked solemn: "You have to dig it all up and take a closer look, it is likely that this room is actually the point of fire, and I just happened to turn out this small piece of unburned ground." ”

Lang Tingyu lowered his head in frustration and muttered, "My subordinates understand." ”

Seeing him like this, Pei Shu really wanted to kick him with his foot, but after another glance, he saw Chen Ying, and for some reason, this thought was pressed down by him again.

Pei Shu's mental journey, Lang Tingyu immediately sensed it, immediately crossed his hands and saluted, and said solemnly: "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates are going to climb the ground...... No, what is that...... The subordinates went to find clues and said goodbye! ”

The words did not stop, and the people had already run away with a "snort".

Pei Shu glared at him, and said in his heart, your kid has a big life.

With a heavy "snort" in his nostrils, he turned to Chen Ying, the murderous aura on his body suddenly disappeared, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips, and asked, "Is the third master going to check from here?" ”

"Yes, I'll check this one." Chen Ying got up and looked around, then felt slightly strange, looked at Pei Shu who was still standing next to him, and asked, "Isn't the little marquis going to find a shack to search?" ”

"I'll be with the third master." Pei Shu said as a matter of course, and kicked away a beam that burned most of the house: "Chen Sanye can use his brain, and these hands-on tasks will be handed over to us rough people." ”

As he spoke, he had cleared a clearing with ease, as if he had not made much effort at all.

Seeing that he swept away the clutter so easily, Chen Ying didn't say anything to refuse.

This work is indeed a manual job, and she really can't handle it alone.

"Then thank you little marquis." Chen Ying smiled, stepped forward and handed Pei Shu a pair of gloves: "Wear this, you can block some dust." ”

It is Chen Ying's habit to wear gloves at the scene of the crime, and Mr. Detective never directly touches the evidence with his hands.

Seeing that the strange-looking glove was in front of him, Pei Shu opened his mouth and wanted to say, "No."

What does a big man's family look like wearing such a whimsy thing?

But the strange thing is that although he thought so in his heart, his hand stretched out completely uncontrollably, took the glove, followed Chen Ying's example, and automatically and consciously put it on his hand.

This action was fast and precise, and when Pei Shu reacted, he found that not only did he put on his gloves, but the corners of his mouth were also grinning uncontrollably, and he wanted to grin.

"Bang", he quickly turned around and kicked a wooden plank away, taking the opportunity to return his expression to normal.

What a hell of a thing.

"Bang, pop, boom", a few kicks swept away the obstacles in front of him, and Pei Shu's hand behind him unconsciously clenched into a fist.

He suddenly felt that he was very stupid today.

Could it be that Lang Tingyu's stupidity was also passed on to him?

Pei Shu thought with a dark face.

In the ash heap, General Lang inexplicably shivered, and always felt that there was a gust of wind around him, as if something bad was going to happen.

Chen Ying's attention was obviously not on these two strong men.

She was crouching on the ground at the moment, turning over the ashes little by little, observing the color of the surface.

After about half of the incense, she raised her head and wanted to tell Pei Shu that the shack was not the point of fire, only to find out that Pei Shu ...... It's gone.
