At night, Shen Xiawen and Rong Que entered the city and stayed in the inn in the city. Rong Que opened his eyes suddenly, concentrated his attention, listened carefully, and found that he had heard correctly, if someone was really sneaking around, these three watches in the middle of the night, either treacherous or thief. Rong Que quietly got off the bed, slowly pushed the window open a thin slit, looked out, and saw Huang Chengcheng's flames, the first floor of the inn was on fire, the fire was very fast, and the air was filled with a strong smell of lamp oil, which showed that someone set fire to the house, and ordinary fires would not have such a heavy smell of lamp oil.

Before Rong Que could react, Shen Xiawen, who lived next door, had already jumped off the windowsill, and Rong Que hurriedly pushed open the window and poked his head out. Rong Que saw a figure with a few sounds of "whoosh...", and was quickly evacuating the scene.

"Senior sister, you go after him, I'll call someone to put out the fire. Rong Que shouted.

"Good. Shen Xiawen ran away and chased after him.

Rong Que walked out of the room, banged on the door from room to room, and shouted, "It's on fire." ”

The guys at the inn and the guests staying at the hotel were woken up by Rong Que, and everyone helped carry water to extinguish the fire.

After the fire was controlled, Rong Que saw that Shen Xiawen had not returned, and couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have let Shen Xiawen chase after the arsonist, what the enemy's skills were, and whether he had accomplices, he hadn't understood it clearly, so he rashly let Shen Xiawen chase people, Shen Xiawen was very dangerous.

Rong Que anxiously wandered on the street for a long time, waiting, waiting for a long time, Shen Xiawen came back, and seeing Shen Xiawen come back, Rong Que was relieved.

"Senior sister. Rong Que called.

Shen Xiawen nodded and said angrily, "Ran away for him." ”

"Run, run, run. Rong Que comforted.

"I'm so shameless to say it. Shen Xiawen said angrily, "The most important thing is that I am not familiar with here, there are too many small alleys, he walked around and knocked me unconscious all of a sudden." ”

"Okay, senior sister, don't get entangled. ”

"But when I reached out, I scratched the man's clothes, who were wearing night clothes and covered his face, but who had an axe tattooed on his back. ”

"Axe?" Rong Que frowned.

Shen Xiawen nodded.

By this time, the fire in the inn had been completely extinguished, and due to the timely discovery, the damage to the inn was not so great, only the gate was burned.

The fire was extinguished, and the guests went back to their houses to sleep, and the people who remained at the scene to clean up were all the guys from the inn.

Rong Que and Shen Xiawen saw that there was nothing wrong here, and they were planning to go back to the house to rest. The sound of noisy footsteps came from not far away, Rong Que and Shen Xiawen turned their heads suspiciously, and found that it was actually a team of officials, with five people. A catcher rushed straight with four catchers, Rong Que and Shen Xiawen were curious about why there were officials in the middle of the night, but unexpectedly, this group of officials came directly to Rong Que and Shen Xiawen, and they surrounded the two when they came up.

"We received a report from the people that someone had set fire to a people's house, and the two of you went back to the yamen with us to assist in the investigation." ”

"We're not arsonists, what are we going to do?" Shen Xiawen said angrily.

"Please also ask the two of you to go back to the yamen with us, whether the arson case is related to the two of you, we will find out later, and we will not wronged the two of you. "The head catcher is quite polite.

Shen Xiawen snorted coldly, glanced at Rong Que, and asked Rong Que's opinion.

"Go, we are innocent and not afraid. Rong Que said in a low voice.

In this way, Rong Que and Shen Xiawen were taken to the yamen by the official messenger, and then directly thrown into the cell by the official messenger.

Shen Xiawen questioned the head catcher and said, "Why did you lock us up here?"

"Lord Zhixian has already slept, and the trial will be repeated tomorrow morning. The head catcher said.

"Then you let us go back to the inn, what is it to lock us up here?"

"In order to prevent the suspect from escaping, we must detain the suspect as soon as possible, and we ask for your understanding. Headcatcher explained.

Shen Xiawen didn't want to spend the night in prison, and she had to fight with reason, but Rong Que pulled Shen Xiawen's sleeve, shook his head at Shen Xiawen, and signaled Shen Xiawen not to say anything.

Shen Xiawen shut up angrily.

After the head catchers had left, Rong Que said, "Senior sister, it's useless for you to quarrel with them. ”

"It's good to be locked up here, and you still don't let people say it?" Shen Xiawen said angrily.

"Nine times out of ten, these officials are connected to the arsonists. Rong Que frowned and said.

"Why do you say that?" Shen Xiawen turned her head to look at Rong Que.

"It is impossible for people to go to the yamen in the middle of the night to report the case, even if there is, according to the virtue of these officials, they will not be dispatched at such a time, and they will definitely shirk until tomorrow, the most important thing is that there were so many people in the inn at that time, why did they arrest the two of us, what is special about the two of us?" Rong Que thought as he spoke.

"The two of us were the first to find out that someone was setting fire?

"First of all, the two of us were the first to find someone setting fire, and thirdly, senior sister, you scratched the arsonist's night clothes and saw the tattoo on this person, which means that we have a clue. ”

"There are so many people with axes in the world, what kind of clue is this?"

"If it's like what Senior Sister said, the other party shouldn't have to worry about it, but the other party quickly controlled the two of us with lightning speed, which means that the situation may not be as Senior Sister said. ”

Shen Xiawen frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Perhaps, in this city, the tattoo of the axe on the back is an obvious feature, the other party quickly controlled us, for fear that this clue will be told by us, and we are imprisoned in order to completely bury this clue, we might as well imagine that there is an axe gang in this city, and they have an axe tattooed on their back, or a little more bold to assume, there is a certain person in this city, he has an axe tattooed on his back, and as we all know, in this way, the clue of the axe tattooed on the back is very important, once it is said, everyone can guess who the arsonist is。 ”

Shen Xiawen nodded, "What you said makes a bit sense, but they can't lock us up for the rest of our lives, right?

"So there's a good chance they'll frame us as arsonists and detain us for a long time. ”

Shen Xiawen's eyes were confused, and he said viciously, "I want to see if they have this ability?"

"Senior sister, there's one more point, I don't know if you have noticed. Rong Que frowned and continued.

"What?" Shen Xiawen looked at Rong Que curiously.

"These officials have never seen us, and when they arrived at the inn, how did they immediately know that we were the ones they were going to arrest?" Rong Que pondered.

Shen Xiawen was reminded by Rong Que like this, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "You know?"

"Most likely, the arsonist is in this team. ”
