C319 Bad News(part I)

The fiery light overflowed into the heavens as the bright red flames illuminated the entire night.

There was a lack of rain in the northern part of China, and the fire set the mountains around the village ablaze. Although a large number of fire trucks had been thrown in and helicopters had even been used to scatter the dry powder, this fire still continued to burn down after three days and three nights, gradually extinguishing the mountain range surrounding Water Mirror Village.

This fire shocked all the villages near the Water Mirror Village. It had even spread to some of the heads in Beijing. However, from beginning to end, other than the officials trying to put out the fire, they did not reveal anything about the cause of this incident. Everyone had chosen to remain silent and only repeatedly mourned for the dead.

It was as if the silence before the storm was to wait for the arrival of a bigger thunderstorm, when everyone was pressured by this matter to the point that they couldn't breathe. A row of black Audi A6 with a government license plate appeared at the village entrance. The endless black made the surrounding villagers' hearts beat faster, making them feel like they couldn't breathe.

After staying in this desolate little mountain village for three days, the South Zhang County Criminal Police squad had a feeling of exhaustion that they had never felt in their entire thirty years of working together. Every time he looked towards the Water Mirror Village, his heart felt as if it was being pressed down by a heavy stone, making it harder to breathe because of the smoke.

This army was born to veterans who had once participated in the Old Mountain War. After being demobilized and transferred to another profession, they had experienced countless terrifying battles between police officers and had also seen countless tragic scenes. However, when his gaze fell on the Water Mirror Village, his legs couldn't help but tremble. He didn't even notice the burning sensation of his pants being burned by the cigarette.

He was too tired. However, the exhaustion in his body could not compare to the exhaustion in his heart.

The Water Mirror Village had been set on fire. By the time the firemen arrived at this remote mountain village, the fire had already reached a point where they couldn't clean it up. In the Water Mirror Village, not a single person managed to escape from such a bizarre situation. With the media's hype about this, the county's leaders were not suited to appear in such a place. All the burden had been placed on him, the captain of the Criminal Police squad.

He had visited this village during his previous investigations in the countryside, but now the beautiful little mountain village had disappeared, and the villagers who had warmly received him with a faint smile had turned to ashes in the fire.

"That's it, what kind of man-made evildoer would do such a vicious thing?!" After taking in a deep breath of smoke, he stubbed out his cigarette and turned to look at the small mountain village that had been razed to the ground.

He could not forget the appearance of the corpses of the villagers he had brought out from the village. Those people were definitely not burned to death, but they had already died before the fire even occurred. With his many years of forensic experience, he was certain that this was an act of man-made violence. However, no matter how much he tried to convey it, no one expressed any opinion about his words.

"You mischievous b * stard, all of you are just a bunch of guys that don't get involved in human affairs!" It's too late for anything now! " Chang Li cursed as he turned his head to look at the group of black Audi cars approaching from afar. Of course, he could only imagine in his heart that anyone who could create such a grand show of things, just by standing out, could crush him like he was an ant.

Inside the Audi, Shen Lingfeng had a dejected look on his face as he looked at Water Mirror Village covered in smoke and embers, his eyes filled with unspeakable desolation. The secretary beside him didn't dare to say anything. He knew that although the director looked gentle and refined, indifferent to everything other than the interests of the country, he actually cared a lot about the people around him.

Everyone in the Divine Abilities Bureau knew that Shen Lingfeng's methods were all learned in this small village in the northern border of China. If it wasn't for the invitation from the Divine Abilities Bureau, he could have even become the first head of a family with another surname in this small village.

"Did you find anything?" After getting out of the car, Shen Lingfeng walked towards the village entrance, ignoring the surrounding crowd of people.

Before Chang Heavy Hammer could say anything, the Fire Department's Chief, Liu, who followed closely behind Shen Lingfeng with a fawning smile on his fat face whispered: "Chief Shen, we have almost found the ignition point and it has already been extinguished. We have basically done it so that there won't be a fire again, please rest assured …"

"Almost? "Basically?" Shen Lingfeng's face was frosty. He turned his head to look at Chief Liu and coldly said, "If you can only do the words' roughly 'and' basic ', then I don't care if you don't have that tiger-like body you're wearing!"

Commissioner Liu was embarrassed. Looking at the young man before him, who was around ten years younger than him, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. He had never heard of a department that would let a young man like this be their leader. However, the documents issued by the National Security Agency were genuine and could not help but cause him to be anxious.

"These villagers were not burned to death, but they were killed before the fire. We have also found the bodies of several foreign men in the fire, whose identities have not yet been identified, but I am sure they are the planners of this tragic case! " After hearing Shen Lingfeng reprimand Bureau Chief Liu, Chang Heavy Hammer's depression slightly dissipated. He took out a mouthful of cigarette smoke and softly said.

Shen Lingfeng's heart hurt, and he said in a low voice: "Take me to see those dead people!"

Looking at the white cloth spread out in front of him, Shen Lingfeng felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a pair of large hands had pinched him.

The corpses had long been burnt to a crisp, but from the wounds on the necks of the corpses and the wounds on their chests and stomachs, it was clear that these people must have suffered from inhuman torture before they died.

"All the men, women and children in the village have died, not a single one is left alive. Furthermore, the wounds on their bodies were all fatal. Based on my experience on the battlefield in the Old Mountain, those murderers should be well-trained soldiers or mercenaries! " After throwing down his cigarette butt and stomping on it, he looked at Shen Lingfeng and said softly, "I will do my best to find those culprits!"

Shen Lingfeng nodded his head and did not speak. However, he felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. Chang Heavy Hammer did not know, but he knew how powerful Sima Qingfeng was in Water Mirror Village. If the old man who taught him the art was unable to protect the village, then even if Chang Heavy Hammer did everything he could, he would still be able to find those murderers.

A group of police officers rushed over. One of them shouted loudly, "Captain Chang, someone came to see her. She's the one who went out to do some business in the Water Mirror Village two days ago. She's only back now!"

"Bring me there!" When Shen Lingfeng and Chang Heavy Hammer heard this, their hearts trembled as they spoke in unison.

After the two of them ran over, they saw a girl in a black down jacket blocking the entrance of Water Mirror Village. The girl's face was covered in tears, and her cries were heart-wrenching.

"Let me in, I'm from Water Mirror Village, I'm Sima Yi Lan!" The girl was pushing and shoving the policemen who were holding her back. From the corner of her mouth, it could be seen that her mind could no longer take such a heavy blow!

Chang Xian's brow furrowed as he glared at the policemen, "What are you pushing for? Let go of him! If it wasn't for our family, would this little girl be crying like this?!"

"Yilan, you are Yilan!" Shen Lingfeng looked at the girl in front of him, and after pondering for a moment, his eyes revealed a hint of ecstasy. He quickly walked in front of the girl, extended his hand to support her tottering body, and said with a trembling voice, "I am your big brother, Yilan, don't panic!"

"Shen Lingfeng?!" Sima Yi Lan's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Shen Lingfeng's face. Her exhausted face revealed a hint of happiness that she hadn't seen for a long time. However, before she could recover her wits, her body went limp and she fell into Shen Ling Feng's embrace.

Before the accident in the Water Mirror Village, an old friend of Sima Qingfeng's had died in Nanchang County. Sima Yi and Lan had gone to mourn for their grandfather, but they hadn't expected to escape this calamity. When she saw the fire in the Water Mirror Village on TV and rushed back to the Water Mirror Village day and night, she was extremely exhausted. Furthermore, after seeing all of the village's residents die and then suddenly seeing Shen Lingfeng, she could not bear the pain anymore!

"You guys don't need to care about this matter anymore, just leave. Our people will take over now!" Glancing at Sima Yi Lan in his arms, Shen Lingfeng turned his head to look at Chang Heavy Hammer and said in a deep voice, "Get me the best doctor you can and arrange some tents and daily necessities. If you find anything else, just come find me!"

When he arrived at the village entrance, relying on his alertness from the war, he was able to see the items in the Audi A6. He also understood that the things in the Water Mirror Village were probably outside of his scope of understanding, so he did not hesitate and bowed towards Shen Lingfeng before turning around and bringing his people away!

"Killing and arson, unforgivable evil, do you people really want to have a death match with our Chinese side?!" Shen Lingfeng said coldly as he raised his head to look at the smoke drifting in the air.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Lin Bai. Perhaps only that man could help him resolve this troublesome situation!
