The problem Xu Wen encountered has not yet been resolved. He once thought about going to Zhou Zhongping with the evidence, but he was not sure whether Zhou Zhongping was reliable. According to Zhou Zhongping, they also went to the scene of the car accident;
After passing the landslide site, why didn't they find these evidences? Why were they able to find them? Is it a coincidence?
Just when Xu Wen was in a dilemma, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a phone number whose name was not saved, and it was also one of Xu Wen's most familiar phone numbers.
"Got a mission?" Xu Wen asked after picking up the phone.
"Not yet, I would like to know when you can return to the team." Qian Fei's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"It's hard to say, I still have some things to deal with here. Do you need me to return to the team as soon as possible?"
"I can't tell. The international situation is changing rapidly, and there may be a mission at any time. I want to know your current situation."
"I've only been back for less than a week. Didn't I agree that I can take at least three months off?"
"You can make up for your vacation later. I hope you can eat, drink and have fun in the country, and keep a low profile and don't cause any big trouble."
"No, you know me. I'm always low-key. Oh, by the way, can you help me with something?"
"A person with extraordinary abilities like you would still ask me for help?"
"Isn't this in China? There is no equipment and it is very restricted."
"Okay, don't stress the reasons. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I have a phone card in my hand that may have been canceled. I want to know what its original phone number is."
"This is easy."
"Do you want me to send you the card?"
"No, you just need to take a photo of the numbered side of the card and send it to me. With the card's identification number, I can check it."
"Wow! That's great. Also, can you check the card owner's identity information and call records in the past three months?"
"This is a bit much. What are you doing? What are you investigating?"
"It's nothing, just a little thing. Please help me. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Put me down, you have owed me hundreds of meals so far, and I haven't seen you treat me once."
"Please, please, I will definitely invite you this time. I will come to Kyoto to find you after finishing my work here another day."
"Okay, I'm warning you, don't cause trouble and keep a low profile."
"receive."
Just as Xu Wen hung up the phone with Qian Fei, his third uncle Xu Zhijun's call came in.
"Hey Xiaowen, why can't you always get through on your phone?"
"What happened, uncle?"
"Xiao Wen, please come back quickly. Your old house caught fire in the middle of the night. The fire has just been put out. The fire brigade is still there."
"Are there any casualties?"
"It's okay. After your parents left, the house has been empty and no one lives in it."
"That's good, I'll be right back."
When Xu Wen returned home, the fire trucks had already been withdrawn, and some technicians were still investigating the cause of the fire. Looking at the darkened two-story building at his home, Xu Wen fell into deep thought.
This two-story building was renovated by my parents in recent years. The house has a frame structure. The beams, columns, floors and roof are all made of concrete. The doors and windows are also made of non-combustible aluminum alloy materials. The interior decoration on the second floor is paved.
There are wooden floors and marble tiles on the first floor. The only things that can burn in the room are some furniture, beds and quilts. It stands to reason that the probability of a fire in this uninhabited building is very low, unless there is an electrical short circuit.
"Xiao Wen, don't worry. Your house is strong and won't burn down. It can only be renovated." The third uncle saw Xu Wen frowning and quickly came over to comfort him.
"It's okay, uncle, I'm not worried about the house. Since no one lives in the house, is the power turned off?"
"Yes, it was stopped. I pulled the switch myself. And I come here to check it every week."
"Then how could it start a fire?"
"Yes, I told the fire brigade people that they are investigating."
The fire investigation lasted for a long time. There were guards standing in front of the small building to prevent unrelated people from approaching. Xu Wen, Sanshu and others could only stand in the yard and wait. After a while, the alarm bell rang loudly again in the village, and everyone was surprised.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhongping led people into the courtyard gate.
"Captain Zhou, why are you here?" Xu Wen greeted Zhou Zhongping.
"Xu Wen, are you there?" Zhou Zhongping was also a little puzzled to see Xu Wen here.
"Yes, this is my home."
"Your family? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"I asked you to come here. Did you find anything?"
"Well, let's talk about it later. Let's first understand the situation at the scene." After Zhou Zhongping said that, he quickly entered the building that was burned beyond recognition.
Zhou Zhongping and others were called by technicians from the fire brigade because they found many traces of arson in the building. Officer Lin, a fire investigator wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, pulled Zhou Zhongping around to inspect the fire.
on site.
"Team Zhou, we found four fire points upstairs and downstairs. They were located in two bedrooms upstairs, a bedroom and the living room downstairs. A large number of fire points were found on the beds in the three bedrooms and on the sofa in the living room.
Traces of burning gasoline. Judging from the direction of the spread of the fire, these places with gasoline residue are the first ignition points. In addition, we also found disposable lighters among the remains of three beds and sofas after the fire.
The wreckage of.”
"You mean someone set fires everywhere in the building at the same time?" Zhou Zhongping asked.
"Yes, we suspect that someone first poured gasoline in four places, then lit a disposable lighter and threw it on the gasoline, thus causing a fire."
"Is there no one living in this house?"
"When we came, we asked the owner of the house, and they said the house had been vacant for a long time. And we found no injured or dead people in the house."
"Why would someone set a fire in an empty house? And the traces of arson are so obvious. This is to make it clear that someone is setting a fire."
"Team Zhou, the cause of a fire is usually easy to investigate. As long as there are traces of arson, we will find it."
"Any other discoveries?"
"Yes, come and see Captain Zhou." Officer Lin led Zhou Zhongping to the back window on the first floor, pointed to a window with broken glass and said:
"When a fire occurs, due to the rapid increase in indoor air pressure, the glass cannot withstand the lateral pressure and will burst. However, the burst direction of the glass is from the inside out, and most of the broken glass fragments will fall outside.
But if you look here, most of the glass fragments of this window fell indoors. This means that the glass of this window did not explode due to fire, but was broken inward from outside by external forces."
"You mean someone broke the glass of this window and entered the house from here to set fire?"
"These are just some of my personal opinions. The details require further investigation by you."
The fire brigade technicians left the scene after investigating and collecting evidence. Zhou Zhongping immediately ordered his men to remove everyone from the courtyard and set up a cordon at the gate of Xu Wen's house.
