Everyone hurried over and Chen Bai pointed to the clear footprints on the ground and the crushed cigarette butts.
"The footprints are very clear, and the cigarette butts have just been stamped out not long ago, indicating that at least there was a person standing here earlier today. What he saw with his eyes while standing here..."
Everyone followed Chen Bai's words and looked forward, and sure enough they saw the fire scene. From this angle, they could see everything at a glance.
"Is it just a coincidence? These are just the footprints of a certain employee in this supermarket. He came here just to have a cigarette and relax?"
Kong Bingxuan didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Chen Bai could find the murderer just by looking at the photos of the scene.
"I saw it when I came up just now. There are surveillance cameras in the supermarket. There are at least three surveillance cameras facing the stairs leading to the roof. We only need to check the surveillance cameras and we will know everything."
Bai Hongwei nodded, and everyone who checked the surveillance system was shocked, because the person standing on the roof was indeed a supermarket employee.
"Look, what I said is right!"
Kong Bingxuan was a little proud, because the surveillance showed that it was the staff of this supermarket who went upstairs.
"Boss, can we talk to this person?"
"sure!"
But when the boss told Bai Hongwei and others that the man was here to resign today, Chen Bai actually smiled.
"That's right, that's the person."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Bai knew that this was not the time to explain this. After asking the boss for the person's address and phone number, the group of people quickly rushed towards the person's home.
"Shan Tong, male, twenty-five years old, went out to work after graduating from junior high school. There is nothing wrong with this person's resume. Isn't it too rash for us to just approach Chen Bai like this?"
"Indeed, but as soon as a fire broke out here, this person resigned, and he didn't even ask for his salary, and his mobile phone was turned off. This makes people wonder why he was in such a hurry and it was such a coincidence."
Soon, Bai Hongwei and his party rushed to Shan Tong's residence. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they went in separately. Bai Hongwei also contacted the landlord of the house early in the morning.
"Comrade police! You must have misunderstood, right? Shan Tong is a good boy, obedient, sensible and polite. He is especially good to us old people and often helps us with our work. This..."
The landlord was a woman in her sixties. Chen Bai quickly interrupted the landlord. If she continued talking like this, everything would be delayed.
"Auntie, does this person live alone?"
"Yes, this kid is a little introverted and doesn't like talking to others, but he is definitely a good person!"
Chen Bai nodded and quickly asked the police in the jurisdiction to take the landlord away.
"Da Binzi is already watching from the back, let's go through the front door."
Shan Tong lives on the first floor. The landlord's living room on the first floor has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the floor-to-ceiling window can still be opened. In order to prevent Shan Tong from escaping, Da Binzi and Kong Bingxuan have led people to block the back.
"Walk!"
The two opened the security door of the corridor and slowly walked to the first floor step by step.
"Click!"
The moment Chen Bai opened the door, Bai Hongwei rushed in. When Chen Bai saw this, he quickly followed.
"no one?"
Bai Hongwei looked around and saw that there was no one in the room.
"No one, come in!"
Chen Bai looked around the room. It was a simple one-bedroom-one-living room. When he entered the door, he faced the toilet, the living room on the left, the bedroom next to the toilet, and the kitchen on the right.
"Chen Bai, do you need to set up a card at the airport, dock, high-speed rail or other places to prevent him from escaping?"
Chen Bai didn't speak, just stared at a wall in the living room in a daze.
"Chen Bai?"
"Look at this wall, what's different about it?"
Bai Hongwei was a little confused, is now the time to watch this? If Shan Tong really takes advantage of this moment to escape, it will not be easy for them to arrest him.
"Don't worry, he will never run away. Can you see what's different about this wall first?"
Bai Hongwei looked carefully, but didn't see anything.
"If you look carefully, the light and shadow effects on this wall are actually different. There are probably many photos hanging in this place, but why are there none now?"
"Is now the time to look at this? Shan Tong is gone. If we leave him alone, he is likely to commit crimes again."
Chen Bai turned around suddenly when he heard this. Bai Hongwei was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Bai's eyes.
"Really? Then I would like to ask you what you can do now. There is no surveillance in the old community. We don't know where Shantong went. The only way to catch him is to find out why he set the fire.
, as long as we know this we can stop him or even catch him."
Bai Hongwei looked at Chen Bai and didn't know what to say for a moment. Chen Bai's eyes and tone changed. At this time, Chen Bai was more like a hunter expecting his prey to take the bait.
"Let's go check out the bedroom!"
Chen Bai pushed open the bedroom door, and at this time Da Binzi and Kong Bingxuan also came in.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
Bai Hongwei didn't speak. Da Binzi saw Chen Bai standing at the door of the bedroom. Da Binzi walked to Chen Bai and followed Chen Bai's eyes and looked into the room, but it was this look that shocked Chen Bai.
The walls in the bedroom were filled with paintings, and the floor of the bedroom was scattered with messy drawing papers. The curtains in the room were closed, and Da Binzi turned on the light next to him.
"This is...."
All the paintings have the same theme - fire, all kinds of fire. There are fires that turn into meteors and fall into the world, and there are flames that burn down the entire forest. However, among these many paintings, Chen Bai only noticed one.
In the painting, Prometheus stands above the clouds and uses flames to inflict heavenly punishment on the world.
"Chen Bai, come and take a look at this!"
Chen Bai walked out of the room, and Bai Hongwei found sponge hemp rope and two barrels of gasoline from the cabinet in the living room.
"Da Binzi, investigate Shan Tong's social relations immediately. I have a feeling that there will be a third fire soon."
"The third game?"
Chen Bai had already walked to the door at this time, and looked at the few people who were still standing still and said anxiously.
"Okay, there's no time to explain now. Let's go back and I'll explain it to you."
On the way back in the car, Chen Bai showed Bai Hongwei about the fire at the bottom store a few days ago. Bai Hongwei asked with some confusion after reading the news.
"Isn't this fire ultimately determined to be caused by aging wiring? Do you think it is related to our case?"
Chen Bai took back his mobile phone, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Although I don't have evidence yet, but if you look at the location of the first fire, the store is not far from the flower and bird market. Fires have broken out in such close places in a short period of time. I don't think it is that simple. Dabin
Son, you can come with me later and I want to take a good look at it."
