Chapter Twenty-Six: The Case of the Mountain Village

The crowd panicked and jumped away, and the sound of a tight gong spread rapidly throughout the village. The collective cohesion of the small village in the countryside broke out in an instant, and everyone put down what they were doing and rushed to the fire.

The fire was so big that thick smoke instantly filled the entire village, and filming was naturally suspended. The staff guards the equipment in an orderly manner, and the professional team has similar plans and drills.

"Could it be the props team...... The on-site director hurriedly ran to Xiao Hei, he was careful if it would be a fire accidentally caused by the props team, due to the needs of filming, the props team had a lot of flammable materials.

Xiao Hei didn't speak, shook his head expressionlessly, and stared thoughtfully at the monstrous fire in the sky.

Li Yiming did not go to the fire, but pulled Xiao Bai Ze and Liu Meng to his side, and observed Fang Shui'er in the distance with Xiao Bai Ze, who stood on the side of the set away from the fire under the protection of the staff.

"Is it Guo Xiang?" Fang Shui'er took a sip of the water handed by Zeng Qian and asked lightly.

"It's that Lei San'er." Zeng Qian replied with a smile.

"Bold enough. Set fire to the mountain ......"

"It's not surprising, Guo Xiang should have promised him some conditions, and he was surprised under the heavy reward, especially these poor and scared people haha, it is normal to do some extreme things."

"It's a bit of a brain, and he set fire to the mountains and forests and cultivated land. If the villagers' harvest for one year is gone, what will they eat in the coming year? The arable land is okay, those fruit trees are not able to grow things in a while, and life is not guaranteed, so it is natural to sell the land. But he didn't expect such a burn, what kind of resort to build? ”

"It's nice to think of this, and you expect him to think it through?" Zeng Qian smiled coldly.

"What's going on over there?"

"No movement, watching us since the fire."

"It's really troublesome, and I don't know if it's friend or foe." Fang Shui'er turned her back to Li Yiming and drank again. "Guo Xiang, how's that?"

"I shouldn't have gotten any news yet, I'll let Zhiwen keep an eye on it."

"Well, let Zhiwu pay more attention to Li Yiming."

"Got it."

The fire spread very quickly, and the people in a small village could not extinguish it at all, and several village cadres were more experienced, so that people could cut off the mountains and forests first, and avoid the trend of the fire going deep into the mountains. Five Jingxian fire trucks arrived one after another, and a column of firefighters rushed into the fire with various fire extinguishing equipment, and it seemed that all the firefighters were dispatched.

The crew was panicked, many people suspected that it was their crew's problem, most of the staff joined the firefighting after putting away the equipment, Liu Meng also wanted to go over, but was pulled by Li Yiming, if it was usual, Li Yiming himself would have rushed to fight the fire, but this is a secret place.

Fang Shui'er and his group didn't move, and Li Yiming couldn't figure out the reason for the fire, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The fire was not brought under control until dusk, and white smoke was emitting from all over the mountains, the clear mountains were not there, the green water was not there, and some were just full of devastation. Many villagers reported headaches and cries, but fortunately there were no casualties.

The firefighters who surveyed the scene gave an astonishing result: arson. The fire started quickly, there were traces of combustibles, and there were four ignition points, which was by no means an accident.

"Lei San'er. It must be Lei San'er, he wants to help the big boss reclaim the land, so he burns our mountains and forests. An old farmer who lost his orchard shouted.

In fact, some people think of the crew, but there is no motive for committing the crime...... Lei San'er? The motive for committing the crime is reasonable, but the courage is too great, right? This is the way of life for the whole village......

"Lei San'er, it must be him, I'm going to kill him-" The old farmer rushed out of the crowd excitedly, and many suspicious villagers followed. Several firefighters also quickly followed at the signal of the leader, and they had already notified the police, but they needed to control the scene before the police arrived.

"Let's go and see." Li Yiming picked up Xiao Bai Ze and followed behind the crowd.

Lei San'er's house is at the head of the village, a dilapidated small mud house, half of which is a rotten wooden plank on the door frame, and it is completely impossible to see that it is a place to live.

The old farmer in the lead was very excited, he carried a flat burden in his hand, kicked the door panel, and rushed in with a curse in his mouth, and several villagers were afraid that something would happen, so they followed. The room was small, and there were not many people who could get in, and the rest of the people gathered around the door. Only the firefighters who followed squeezed through the crowd, ready to enter.

But when the firefighters just arrived at the door, they saw several people rushing out quickly, with fear on their faces, and after one of them rushed out, regardless of the onlookers, he leaned against the wall and vomited. The old farmer who took the lead was also helped out, his lips trembled, his face was blue, and he didn't know where to go with the flat pole in his hand.

The firefighters were puzzled and quickly entered the crowd, but they all quickly retreated. Several people looked frightened at the door, and a firefighter broke away from the crowd and ran out quickly, probably to report to the leader.

"Retribution...... This is retribution...... "The old peasant came back to his senses a little, muttering unconsciously. The people who went in together before were also whispering explanations to the onlookers, and the crowd listened to the different performances, some quickly pulled the people close to them away, and some were full of curiosity and wanted to go in, but the firefighters were guarding the door, but everyone's faces were surprised.

Li Yiming stood far away, and he couldn't hear what they were saying, it was nothing more than "retribution", "gone", and "eaten......

Li Yiming glanced at Xiao Bai Ze in his arms, and Xiao Bai Ze shook his head.

"The smell of blood is strong." After a long time, Xiao Bai Ze gave an answer.

The sky gradually darkened, and the crowd of onlookers retreated far away, and the bold ones stayed in the distance to see what was going on, and the ordinary people left in a hurry. An eerie atmosphere spread all around.

"What's wrong?" Fang Shui'er took Zeng Qian and appeared behind Li Yiming. Li Yiming didn't look back when he heard this, but shook his head solemnly, and continued to look ahead, he was now full of fear of Fang Shui'er.

Fang Shui'er didn't ask again, the doubts in her eyes were no less than Li Yiming's, the two groups of people with their own hearts just stood quietly, but Zeng Qian glanced at Xiao Bai Ze in Li Yiming's arms, and faintly looked forward to it.

The leader of the fire brigade soon arrived, and like the people before him, he was fast in and out, and he kept talking after coming out, and the firefighters he brought with him set up a cordon at the door. The village cadres of Ning Village also arrived, but did not enter the house, but persuaded the onlookers to leave outside the house.

Li Yiming gritted his teeth, handed Xiao Baize to Liu Meng, who came with him, and stopped a villager passing by.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

"Dead, Lei San'er is dead, I heard that he died very miserably, and he was torn to pieces." The man hurried by, obviously unwilling to say more, and saw that Fang Shui'er, a "big star", was on the side, and briefly explained. "You guys should also leave quickly, this matter is evil, the police are coming soon, it is said that they will ask us one by one, and it is estimated that they will also ask you, let's go."

Hearing this, Li Yiming frowned, Fang Shui'er and Zeng Qian glanced at each other, Xiao Bai Ze looked thoughtful, and Liu Meng's expression changed greatly.

"Let's go back to the crew." Fang Shui'er threw down a sentence and left with Zeng Qian, Li Yiming looked back at the door guarded by the firefighters, and also led Xiao Bai Ze away.

The crew was packing up the equipment, the filming was probably going to be postponed, and everyone's mood was not high, Xiao Hei sat alone on the side, and when he saw Fang Shui'er and the others coming back, he just glanced at it lightly and didn't react.

The crowd suddenly was in an uproar, and then there was a lot of discussion, it seemed that the news of the dead person reached the crew, and the village cadres who were in charge of the reception before hurried over, whispering in Xiao Hei's ear, Xiao Hei beckoned, and the on-site director not far away also joined the discussion.

"Everyone, be quiet," the director shouted with a loudspeaker, "There was an accident in the village, we will count the number of people now, and the original car will return." Then wait for the police to ask for questioning at the hotel, please cooperate. As for the shooting, we will notify you separately. The on-site director didn't explain too much about what happened, and urged everyone to get on the bus with a few simple instructions.

Everything happened too suddenly, everyone had no objections, and got into the car one after another, and Li Yiming followed the crowd with Xiao Baize in his arms.

"Yiming, take my car." Suddenly, Fang Shui'er spoke.

Everyone was surprised, and Li Yiming was vigilant.

"So much has happened, don't scare Bai Ze, my car is more comfortable." Fang Shui'er's face was gentle and her voice was soft.

Everyone was stunned, and Li Yiming was even more vigilant. How dare I get on your car? Throwing corpses in the wilderness is light.

"No need, thank you for your kindness, it's okay with everyone." Li Yiming glanced at Liu Meng beside him, ignored Fang Shui'er's invitation, and got on the minibus directly. Everyone was surprised again, that was a superstar, that was a goddess, this kid was stupid? Only Liu Meng's face was flushed after sitting down, with a little drunken shyness, and Li Yiming's last casual glance made her want to get into trouble.

"This kid is hostile." Watching the minibus leave, Fang Shui'er got into her nanny car.

"Not necessarily, maybe he, like us, can't figure out the other party's situation, it's normal to be vigilant, the protector doesn't have many thoughts, and he won't live long." Zeng Qian closed the car door and sat down in front of Fang Shui'er.

"So vigilant, is it really a person?"

"If it's really a person, it's terrifying, don't forget, this is an intermediate secret realm." Zeng Qian adjusted the seat and lay down relaxedly.

"Trouble......" Fang Shui'er rubbed her brows, took off her high heels, and sat cross-legged on the chair. Lei San'er has figured it out? ”

"When Zhiwu went to see it, he left his head and half a calf, and judging from the wound, it was torn open."

"What could it be?"

"Zhiwu guesses that it should be some kind of beast."

"If only it were a beast." Fang Shui'er twisted her body, found a comfortable position and closed her eyes. "Let Zhiwu be happy, look around, count the time has just begun, I'll squint first, and call me when it's time."

"I've already explained to him, you can rest." Zeng Qian turned her head to the window, her expression relaxed, her eyes shot far away into the mountains, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yunda Hotel, everyone went back to the room to wait, and Li Yiming squatted at the door with Xiao Baize in his arms.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Li Yiming asked Xiao Bai Ze.

"How do I know?" Xiao Bai Ze played with his mobile phone again, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

"Aren't you omniscient?" Li Yiming did not give up.

"I'm a mythical beast, not a plug-in." Xiao Bai Ze didn't look up, and replied angrily, "That's right." ”

"What?" Li Yiming looked at each other excitedly.

"Plug-in, this guy must use a plug-in, no wonder I can't beat him, damn it, you give me money, I'll buy a plug-in too." Xiao Bai Ze pointed to his mobile phone and shouted.
