After the alchemist finished speaking, he swaggered away. After all, she didn't do anything, and the police couldn't do anything, so as not to startle the snake.

After a while, Zheng Ming appeared in front of us, he looked at the alchemist in the distance and said, "A rich woman will definitely have other ways to deal with you, she doesn't need to be tough with you." ”

"Not only can she deal with me, she might do the same to you cops." I looked at Zheng Ming and said.

Zheng Ming nodded and said, "I don't deny that there is such a possibility, but I will definitely not be bought by money." ”

I smiled and said, "Don't say it so early, maybe you won't be able to stop other people's sugar-coated shells." ”

Zheng Ming immediately said, "You don't believe me? ”

"I believe in you, but you're also human. Wine and wealth, many men are planted on this. I said.

Things passed like this, and the days returned to peace, as if the deaths of Archimedes and King Arthur had not changed anything, and Jiang Yucheng had no intention of making trouble with me again.

However, we rented a house, and the house caught fire for some reason, which really scared me into a cold sweat.

Since the rent in the city was too expensive, we rented one in a village on the outskirts of the city, and just three days later, an accidental fire broke out.

Fortunately, the three of us went back late that day, otherwise something would have happened too. It was precisely because of this fire that I realized that things were more troublesome than I thought.

There is a beautiful tribe of wooden houses in this town, and it is here that we rented the house, which is cheap and in a beautiful location.

However, the unexpected fire shattered the peace, many people were injured in the fire, and the homeless people were filled with scolding and hatred for the arsonists.

Of course, I was also very angry, and it became like this for some reason, and I am afraid that it is difficult for any normal person to accept.

More importantly, I don't think it was just a fire. It's been a few decades since this happened in the town, and it's only been a coincidence that I've been here for three days and the fire is on the heels.

The local police investigated and did not come to any conclusions. In their eyes, it was an accident, but I didn't believe it.

Forget about others, Zhou Hao, the captain of the city criminal police, that is Zheng Ming's old acquaintance, but even he said this, which made me feel even more wrong.

When I saw Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao's attitude was completely different from before, as if he was full of hostility towards me.

"You don't believe the results of our police investigation?" Zhou Hao opened his mouth, and it was an aggressive tone.

I had no choice but to smile and say, "Captain Zhou decided that this was an accident, and I have nothing to say." It's just that I want to find out again, at least find the person concerned and ask, anyway, I'm also one of the victims. ”

Zhou Hao frowned, thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you want to figure it out yourself, then I will fulfill you." You have to find out the cause of the fire yourself, and the police won't help you in any way, you know? ”

I was stunned for a moment, then looked at him again: "Okay, I understand." ”

Walking out of the criminal police team, Zheng Ming said to me with some confusion: "Why do I think Captain Zhou is a little strange, the tone and expression of his speech are very unnatural, and he is like two people before." ”

"You found out too? It seems that my guess is correct, this fire is really not that simple. I said.

"Oh? Do you think it's arson? Zheng Ming asked me.

I sneered, "It's not surprising either. Let's go, we can't find any evidence, let's guess here, it's pointless. ”

However, since the scene has been completely destroyed, the cause of the fire cannot be ascertained for the time being, which is really nerve-wracking.

Even so, after some investigation by Zheng Ming and I, we finally targeted Wu Jiaojiao, who lives in Building 15.

When we found Wu Jiaojiao, we saw that she was crying bitterly.

"Miss Wu, what are you crying about?" I'm a little puzzled.

Zheng Ming said a few words in my ear, and I learned that Wu Jiaojiao's husband and son had died in the fire one after another, and the loss of her husband and son made her grief.

There was no way, I didn't want to stimulate her at this time, so I had to wait for Wu Jiaojiao's mental state to improve a little, and we began to ask Wu Jiaojiao about the situation when the fire broke out.

After Wu Jiaojiao learned that we were residents here, she recalled: "Last night my husband and I went to a friend's party, and because of the long time we played, we didn't come home until late at night. Back home, my son kept saying he was hungry and even though I was tired, I went to the kitchen to fry a steak for him. ”

When she said this, I realized that it was because of this small incident that it would cause irreparable consequences.

Sure enough, Wu Jiaojiao continued: "Just when the steak was about to be fried, I suddenly heard my son's cry. So, I quickly put down the steak and ran to the living room to check. It turned out that the palm of his son's hand was accidentally scratched by the glass. My husband also ran over when he heard the cry, and he took the child to the bathroom to be washed and bandaged. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......"

Wu Jiaojiao suddenly cried even more, and Zheng Ming asked a little anxiously, "I didn't expect anything to happen." ”

"I forgot to turn off the gas stove when I went out, and when I got back to the kitchen, the flames were already burning in the pan along the oil." Wu Jiaojiao said with a handful of snot and tears.

When I saw her crying, I always felt very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I still said, "Just burn it in a pot, it should be easy to extinguish, and it won't cause such a big fire." ”

At this time, Wu Jiaojiao covered her face painfully and said: "But at that time, I made an unforgivable mistake, I saw the flames coming out, and I panicked all of a sudden, and casually lifted a bucket and poured it over the oil pot. When I poured out the contents, I found that the barrel contained oil. The whole kitchen was on fire, and the fire spread instantly, and I didn't have time to inform my husband and children......"

Zheng Ming nodded and said, "You mean, this fire was caused by a mistake by you?" ”

Wu Jiaojiao said with a face full of remorse: "Yes, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, and I have affected you." ”

I didn't talk to her, but asked Zheng Ming, "Do you believe what she said?" ”

Zheng Ming was stunned: "Why don't you believe it, where do you think there is a problem?" ”

"You'd better not believe even a word, the whole story is well written, establish yourself as a good wife and mother, attribute such a big fire to a mistake of your own, and win the sympathy of others, even if others know that it is her responsibility, but it is not easy to say anything." I said with a sneer.

Zheng Ming went to see Wu Jiaojiao again, and Wu Jiaojiao stammered a little and said, "I, what I said is the truth." ”
