The entire upper half of the building was surrounded by a sea of fire, which vaguely melted and collapsed in the thick flames, giving people an incomparable shock. The heat scorched the air, and the smell was like stuffing a dry foreign body into the mouth and nose.

The bus stopped at the stop in front of the neighborhood where Sakiya was, and as we got off the bus, police cars and fire trucks whined past us. Many pedestrians stopped by the side of the road to watch, the sea of fire seemed to squeeze their own lives, and the burning building suddenly made a huge explosion, everyone was startled, only to see a wave of fire erupting from the window, and the raging anger seemed to make the final verdict to the onlookers.

The people inside are finished.

Some people quickly moved into the community, and we were caught in the middle of the flow to find out.

At first, I was still lucky, but when I stepped on the lawn and witnessed the hectic scene, all luck was replaced by a complicated kind of happiness.

That's where Sakiya's house is, a total of twenty floors of residential buildings, and the tenth floor and above are engulfed in flames, and Sakiya's home is on the eleventh floor.

If it's just a coincidence, I don't believe it. However, it is said that the goats will be the hand, and there are many doubts in the motives.

Although the Sakuya family died in the fire, there should be no casualties. Sakiya was on my back, and her parents didn't come back, which was a blessing in misfortune. The survivors were escorted to the ambulance, and judging by the number of sights, it was probably only half of the residents. These people can still walk and breathe, either with sluggish faces, or crying out to the sky, holding the hands of the police and begging them to save their relatives.

Even if there are no dead people, for a family, the house where the family is reunited is the embodiment of the concept of "home". When the house is burned down, you can't help but feel that the concept of "home" has been destroyed, and you must be sad and angry in your heart.

The pressure was so heavy and helpless that it was almost impossible to breathe.

It was like a stone in my heart, and under this stone, a cloud of lava called anger was tumbling.

But the top priority is to settle down the unconscious Sakuya first.

"I have a bad premonition, Achuan." Zuo Jiang suddenly said loudly, "I may not be able to go back to my home." ”

That's right, if this fire was really for Sakiya, then I'm definitely involved. Maybe the arsonist is already lying in ambush near my house, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the trap.

Arson is a more brutal form of behavior than murder. The ferocity of this fire, no matter how you look at it, looks like it was done beforehand. I don't know if the prisoner is sure that the victim is in the room, but it also reveals a bitter hatred that will drive someone to death even if it will affect other innocent people. Therefore, it is more like cathartic revenge and spiritual collapse than an accident and a cover-up after a crime.

"It's like saying, 'I'm coming.'" Zuo Jiang sighed, "It should be an acquaintance of Ah Chuan, do you have any clue?" ”

"There's one."

At the same time, he hates me and Sakiya, and he is not a member of the goat union, and he burns like a visitor to hell with the flames of collapse. There is only one such guy, no matter how you think about it.

However, it is necessary to check it out.

Zuo Jiang and I quietly evacuated the scene.

Because I wanted to make my movement as private as possible, I didn't take a car, but took a detour and returned to my community from a route I rarely take. I didn't go home directly, but turned into the family building opposite my house from the corner of the house, and found a unit where I could clearly observe the balcony of my house. Hide in the platform at the corner of the staircase and monitor the changes in your home.

The lights in the house are still off, and it is dark, and I don't know if the murderer is inside.

I didn't see Quark on the balcony, and I don't know if Lu Dao didn't come back, or if he had been caught by the murderer.

I was secretly worried.

But at this time, they could neither report the crime, nor dare to break in. We wanted to warn the other residents of the same family building, but considering that if we didn't say when the murderer would do it, it would happen so suddenly that we might even be killed, and it was also a question of whether the residents would believe us.

Too many uncertainties.

Too little time.

All that is needed now is patience.

I try not to think about the fire at Sakiya's house that will be repeated at any time. I hate tragedy. Fortunately, I am indifferent by nature and can suppress my feelings for people I don't know. My relationship with my neighbors wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good, just a nod of the head on a daily basis, and I didn't expect to be overwhelmed by the guilt and sadness that came with it.

I know the Tao, and when the people around me have accidents one after another, I know that I can't be a hero for everyone. Also decided at that moment, at least to be someone's hero.

So, I'm more concerned about the safety of Sakiya and Saoe than my innocent neighbors.

"If nothing happens tomorrow morning, it should be safe." Leaning against the wall, Zuo Jiang said, holding his arms.

She looked a little cold, so I took off my school uniform jacket and handed it to her, and she took it and put it on, then gently brushed her hair that was blown away by the night wind.

When Zuo Jiang is not fighting, she is a virtuous and gentle woman who looks like a kind girl who will cry for strange victims. Although I felt that I had a valid reason to ignore those innocent neighbors, I still felt that my current behavior was very despicable, so I did not dare to look at her.

It's not that I think I'll be despised by Zuo Jiang because of this, but I just feel that I shouldn't let her see such a despicable side of me.

No matter what the justifiable reasons for this meanness.

Even though she knew that she had been watching my movements, and the reason for such movements seemed transparent to her eyes, she still felt like an ostrich, thinking that she did not understand anything.

"It's ugly." I couldn't help but laugh at myself in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? Achuan. ”

"Nothing, just a little reflection."

"Introspection? For what? ”

"Because ......," I said in a deep silence, "we are letting the death of our good neighbor go unchecked." ”

"They won't listen."

It's really a willful statement, but coming out of Zuo Jiangkou's mouth makes me feel a lot better.

"yes, they won't listen." Maybe......

Silence fell on again.

After smoking a cigarette, I wrung it out with my shoe.

There was a loud bang, and the air shook violently. Zuo Jiang and I hurriedly looked out of the hallway, where scraps of glass, wood, and burning fibers were constantly spilling from my balcony, and thick smoke and fire filled the house. The residents on the floor were all shocked, and many residents of the building we were in also ran out or looked out of the window towards the accident site, and they were all so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

Like the Sakiya family, the flames spread to the top and neighbors in a short time, and the commotion and exclamations gradually converged. Someone finally reacted and told those who stayed at home to call the police immediately.

"It looks like a blast, with an accelerant added." I said, "If it wasn't timed, then the prisoner must not have left." ”

"Data studies have shown that arsonists and bombardments generally don't leave the scene right away. For them, hiding in the crowd and admiring their masterpieces gives them a strong sense of satisfaction and a necessary urge. They have a strong desire to behave, otherwise why would they choose such a fanfare way of committing crimes? Zuo Jiang said.

Let's go, it's time for us to come in.
