C18 Play with Fire
Xiao Jian and Hu Cuihua looked at each other and quickly left the west wing. At the east end of the village, he saw the direction of the village chief, Wang Tiezhu's house. Flames were everywhere, and flames were soaring into the sky.
The sound of people moving about, the sound of people fighting the fire, the crying of women, and the sound of dogs were mixed together, making for a very chaotic and noisy scene.
Xiao Jian and Hu Cuihua knew that Ma Er had made his move. Not only had he made his move, he had also succeeded. Xiao Jian told Hu Cuihua that you stay in the house and do not come out. Hu Cuihua said: "No, I also want to take a look."
Xiao Jian said, "You better not go. As a woman, it's easy for you to not be able to control your emotions. If you are found out, it will not be fun. I will go take a look to see what is going on."
Hu Cuihua nodded: "Then be careful."
Xiao Jian replied, "Yes, I understand."
Hu Cuihua continued: "Come back early, I'll wait for you at home."
Xiao Jian smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely return."
When Xiao Jian rushed to the home of Village Head Wang Tiezhu, the scene was already extremely chaotic. The fire did not decrease and the Village Head's wife, Luo Yuqiu, knelt on the ground and wailed, "Old man, my old man, why are you so miserable? How can I live without you …" "I don't want to live anymore, I …"
As Luo Yuqiu spoke, he was about to rush into the sea of fire, but he was hastily held back by the villagers. Luo Yuqiu was crying sorrowfully, to the point of shaking the world.
As he cried, Luo Yuqiu suddenly burped and fainted on the spot. Without a sound, the villagers quickly carried him away.
A large amount of flames and thick smoke sprayed out from the burnt window. Xiao Jian thought in his heart, with this kind of fire, let alone a human, even a Golden Buddha would be able to melt it. It looks like Wang Tiezhu was indeed burnt to death by Ma Er.
Xiao Jian looked around and did not see Ma Er. Could it be that this guy still wanted to live for a few more days after committing the crime? Or rather, it could be said that Ma Er had already died in the sea of fire. Xiao Jian thought, I reckon that the second possibility would be a little more likely.
The flames were ferocious. The flames that shot out were like numerous fire dragons. Chu Feng truly did not know what sort of good things were in the Village Chief's house that could be so easily set ablaze.
Two hours later, Xiao Jian looked at the large, tiled room. Inside was a pitch black room. The villagers had all left in succession and Xiao Jian discovered a charred corpse inside. Xiao Jian thought, that should be Wang Tiezhu's corpse.
The police station made a symbolic investigation on the second day, and Luo Yuqiu said very calmly that last night, because the electric stove had been used to load electricity, there had been a fire. When the two of them were running out, a beam had fallen down and hit Wang Tiezhu.
Thus, even though Luo Yuqiu had run out, Wang Tiezhu had not run out. Just like that, they were burned alive.
According to the investigation conducted by the police station, this was only an ordinary case. It was very clear that rural users who used electric appliances with large flow of electricity without authorization would be in great danger. In the future, everyone should be careful not to hang up on others without permission. In that case, it would be harmful to others.
His words were dignified, the board was upright, and there was nothing that could be done about it. At that time, Xiao Jian was present, and he thought of a lesson he had read in high school, which was taken from the Dream of the Red Chamber. On the fourth time, the Bounty Lover had met with the Bounty Daughter, and the monk had judged the case of the gourd.
This group of people had solved the case and had quite the potential to compete with Jia Yu Village. To be able to solve the case of this kind of person in such a muddled manner, they were indeed elites.
Of course, this was what Xiao Jian wanted. The most ideal effect. The only thing that caused Xiao Jian to feel uneasy was that … Here, there was no sign of Ma Er. Only Wang Tiezhu's corpse was left in the room. He was burnt beyond recognition.
If that was the case, perhaps Ma Er wasn't dead, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that Ma Er definitely wasn't dead. However, since he wasn't dead, why couldn't they see him? Are you hiding? Why did he have to hide? If that was the case, how could he sleep in peace?
