Chapter 360: Arson

The reason why I connected Yu Xu with the phone call of the white fox is not for nothing.

When I slept last night, I thought about Yu Xu for a long time and didn't think about Yu Xu, because he was not close to us, especially after Lao Xu died, he hadn't contacted me for a long time.

That's when I saw him. I remembered that there was such a person as him. The main reason is that I targeted all these people in the Public Security Department last night, but I forgot about Yu Xu, a person we knew as soon as we came to H Province.

He's been known to us since we started investigating baby casserole, and he's really the one who's been with us the longest.

"Yu Xu, what's wrong. Is something wrong? I asked.

"Team Leader Lin, you're here. It's not good......" Yu Xu said anxiously.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" I looked at Yu Xu suspiciously, trying to see something strange on his face, but I didn't see anything, his eyes were normal. Not in a trance-like way for some liars. Of course, not all liars are like me, stuttering as soon as they lie.

"My uncle's house is on fire." Yu Xu was in a hurry.

"What?" I exclaimed, "When?" ”

"At five o'clock in the morning today, it seems that the fire was caused by the aging of the wiring, and you also know that most of my uncle's house is a wooden structure, and the fire came together, and it couldn't be extinguished, and in less than half an hour, most of the things were burned to ashes." Yu Xu hung his head and said:

"Hey, I know that my uncle left everything about his house to you, although I was quite angry at the time, but Team Leader Lin, I swear, this is definitely not what I did, I have been on duty at the police station last night. I just heard the news. So I'm going to come to you right away, I'm afraid you'll misunderstand......"

"Oh, it's okay, if it burns, let's burn it, the surrounding houses haven't been affected, right?" I asked.

"No, fortunately, the fire brigade came quickly, the fire had been extinguished when I went, but the house had become a ruin, and nothing was left!" Yu Xu said: "There are still many people investigating at the scene. Why don't you go over and have a look? ”

"Forget it, I won't go, I have other things, besides, I'm not familiar with fire cases, let's let those fire brigade professionals investigate!" I said.

I am telling the truth, investigating the cause of the fire is a special discipline, and we are two completely different classifications from criminal investigation, which are learned by talents in the fire brigade, and we don't need to learn it.

There is a professional discipline in the fire brigade called "fire cause investigation", referred to as fire investigation, which is a very complex subject, which is said to be difficult to learn, and I don't know much about it. If I had been asked to investigate the cause of the fire, I would have been confused by the monk when I arrived at the scene, but those professionals would have been able to roughly determine the location of the initial fire from the scene of the fire. And some senior experts can see what caused the fire by the fire point. At least the average person can roughly tell whether it is a man-made arson or a natural fire.

As the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains. What they want to do is to restore the scene of the fire, and we are to restore the scene of the criminal case. If they were asked to go to a murder scene, they would not be able to reconstruct the exact circumstances of the murder scene.

"Team Leader Lin, you, aren't you distressed at all, I, my uncle's old house is worth one or two million!" Yu Xu looked at me suspiciously.

"What can I do if I feel distressed, the burn has already burned, as long as it doesn't affect other surrounding houses, it's already very good, if I vomit and burn a few people, then it's troublesome!" I said.

In fact, it would be false to say that I don't feel sorry, after all, one or two million will be burned like that. It's just that I take this aspect of things relatively lightly, because I have never regarded the inheritance left by Lao Xu as mine, and the current situation is nothing more than a small donation of money.

That's when my phone rang.

I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was Deputy Director Xue calling, and I quickly answered the phone: "Good morning, Deputy Director Xue!" ”

Although I said so, I was actually beating the drum in my heart, because Deputy Director Xue had never had anything good to look for me.

Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, Deputy Director Xue said in a cold voice: "You come to my office immediately, there is something important!" ”

"Oh, okay, I'll be right there!" After I finished speaking, I said to Xiao Xu on the side: "Xiao Xu, you go back first, my uncle's estate has not touched a penny for the time being, in fact, I can't move it, because that money is under the dual management of a lawyer and a bank, although I am the legal heir, I have not yet fully controlled it." When I have the right to dispose of it, I will leave some money for your family. ”

What I said to Xiao Xu at this time was also to leave a little bit for their family, and I didn't say it to Xiao Xu. Because I suspect Xiao Xu now, how can I give him money.

After saying hello to Xiao Xu, I went to Deputy Director Xue's office.

After knocking on the door and entering, I found a two-bar and one-star armed police officer sitting on the sofa in the office.

Deputy Director Xue was chatting with the officer, and as soon as he saw me enter, Deputy Director Xue stood up and introduced: "Xiaolin, this is Captain Xiao of the fire brigade, he has something to find you, you should cooperate with him!" ”

"Oh, okay!" I nodded, and hurriedly walked over to take the initiative to shake hands: "Captain Xiao, hello, my name is Lin Mingjun, you can call me Xiaolin." ”

"No, no, no, Team Leader Lin's name has long been thunderous, you are the man of the year in our H province, hahahaha......" Captain Xiao smiled happily.

This is a man in his thirties, tall and mighty, like most professional soldiers, his face is full of fortitude, and at the same time gives people a very heroic feeling.

"Captain Xiao is serious, I can't even raise my head when you say that." I clenched Captain Xiao's hand with a look of shame.

"Haha......" Captain Xiao snorted and immediately cut to the chase: "That's the case, do you know that the Xu Ji porridge shop under your name caught fire last night?" ”

"Yes, I just heard about it." I nodded.

"I heard that you bought that house with high insurance in the bank, is that true?" Captain Xiao looked at me suspiciously, as if he was trying to see something on my face.

However, when I heard him say that, I was petrified on the spot.

"That house has high insurance?" I said blankly.

"Don't you know?" Captain Xiao frowned. He should have seen that what I said didn't seem to be a lie.

"I'll tell you the truth, I really don't know about it." I said.

"The insurance was bought in your name, and you are the head of the household, how can you not know?" Captain Xiao still didn't seem to believe it.

"There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth! In fact, although I am the heir of all Lao Xu's property, I can't freely allocate his property now, and all of it is in the hands of a lawyer and a bank, of course, they don't have the right to dispose of it at will......"

Immediately afterward, I carefully told Captain Xiao and Deputy Director Xue about the story of this matter. Although I don't want to say it, Captain Xiao has obviously suspected me about this matter at this time, how can I hide it.

When I had said that, I added, "If I'm correct, the house must have been set on fire, right?" ”

"Hehe......" Captain Xiao looked at me and smiled meaningfully: "How do you know?" ”

"If it's just a natural fire, presumably Captain Xiao shouldn't have come to our Deputy Director Xue in person, right?" I smirked and said, "Only if you find out that it was a man-made fire, and then you find out that the house has a high amount of insurance, so you will suspect that I set the fire myself to deceive the insurance company into high compensation, which is very understandable!" ”

"Team Leader Lin can be the leader of the unsolved case team, and he really deserves his reputation!" Captain Xiao put on a high hat for me and stretched out his hand to me: "Thank you Team Leader Lin for your cooperation, but, Team Leader Lin, I hope you don't leave Province H until we find out about this matter." ”

"Don't leave Province H, what do you mean?" I got a little angry. Damn, this matter is none of my business at all, and now I have to restrict my freedom, the most important thing is that I often have to go back to Baoshan City, because there will be some new situations from time to time, and of course I will not easily agree to this matter.

"You are now a suspect in a major fraud and arson case, you are a police officer, you should know the rules here!" Captain Xiao's face was already a little unpleasant: "If it weren't for us to give Deputy Director Xue face, I wouldn't have taken this trip in person, but directly sent someone to invite you to our fire brigade!" ”

"You!" I was so angry with Captain Xiao.

Just as I was about to get angry, Deputy Director Xue spoke: "Xiaolin, you better cooperate with Captain Xiao in this matter, others also have difficulties, and he has already given you face by doing this." ”

"Deputy Director Xue, let me tell you the truth, this is more than the inheritance, I didn't plan to ask for it, I plan to donate it to charity after receiving this inheritance......"

"Then why didn't you donate so long after Lao Xu died?" Captain Xiao was aggressive: "And according to the clues we have now, this time I think that the arson method is very clever, and it is definitely not something that ordinary ordinary people can do." ”

Hearing what Captain Xiao said, I knew that this matter was really not simple. I couldn't help it, and in order to prove my innocence, I told the specific situation again: "Because I will not be able to dispose of this inheritance until ten years later......"

"That's a nice thing to say, but why did you buy such a high-cost insurance policy immediately after receiving your inheritance, and your house caught fire shortly after the insurance company covered it, do you think we suspect you have something wrong with you? That's normal, right? ”

"That insurance was bought after Lao Xu died?" I finally understood what was going on.

"Don't tell me you don't know?" Captain Xiao looked disdainful: "Let me tell you the truth, we haven't found out about the box yet, and it was the insurance company that came to our fire brigade first to talk about this matter, and I only knew that there was insurance." ”

Hearing him say that, I immediately took out my mobile phone to call Yan Xiu'er.

However, Yan Xiuer's phone was no longer available.

It dawned on me that there didn't seem to be as simple as what I had done before.

Just now, I was just thinking that Xiao Xu wanted to complete the task given to him by the white fox, and Lao Xu didn't leave him the inheritance, so he held a grudge against me and burned the house with a fire. Now it seems that this is obviously not the case, which is obviously a typical planting.

After that, we discussed it for a while, and then we finally took a step back.

I can leave Province H until this case is cleared up, but only in the province where Baoshan City is located, and I must notify Captain Xiao before I go. This made me go straight to the rhythm of being released on bail pending trial. This is the case with bail pending trial, and when I go to other places, I have to apply for a report to the local police station, but I just apply to the fire brigade.

After the matter was settled, I left the office early.

As soon as I walked a few steps, I heard Deputy Director Xue talking to me: "Xiao Xiao, this kid Xiao Lin is not like the kind of person who is greedy for money and takes risks, you should go back and check in other directions!" "Zhuang Gang is stunt.

"Deputy Director Xue, I know what you mean. However, this kind of man-made arson case, in addition to killing people for money, the most common thing is to defraud the bank of insurance, I have seen this kind of thing a lot, so, hehe...... Don't talk too much. ”

Dog Ridi, when I heard the guy surnamed Xiao say that, I almost couldn't help but rush in and beat him. But I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to beat him, so I endured it and didn't go in.

I was so angry that I returned to the unsolved case team with a blue face, and told Zhang Yihan and Ah Bao about it, and they were also angry.

However, none of them expressed any opinion on this matter, because Zhang Yihan immediately said: "Lao Zhou and the stupid big man seem to have gone to Baoshan." ”

"Did they show up in Baoshan?" I exclaimed.
