At around ten o'clock in the evening, in Runan Community.
Because of the heavy rain outside the window, almost every household had gone to bed early. At this moment, there were few houses in the neighborhood with their lights on. The entire neighborhood was quiet.
Lin Donghe, the resident of Room 503 of Building 3, was one of the few people who was still watching TV. He was holding a bottle of beer in his hand, and the TV was playing a melodramatic and boring TV series. In his half-drunk state, Lin Donglai suddenly heard a strange laugh.
The laughter was almost imperceptible under the cover of the rain and the sound of the television.
Lin Donglai took another sip of beer and continued watching TV. He didn't care about the laughter.
Moreover, it was already late at night and it was raining heavily. He did not want to care about why others were laughing!
The laughter lasted for less than a minute before it stopped. Lin Donglai didn't think too much about it, thinking that someone had found out about some good news, so he stopped laughing after a while.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but Lin Donglai felt that his senses had become more sensitive.
He suddenly heard the sound of something burning. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the recent arson case that had spread throughout the entire township and district. In an instant, he was much more awake.
Lin Donglai quickly put down the bottle and opened his room door. He didn't know if it was the 507 or 508 door that was only 10 meters away from him, but it was wide open. A raging fire came out from inside, and there was even smoke coming out.
Suddenly, Lin Donglai broke out in a cold sweat and shouted,"
"Fire!"
Then, he remembered that the sound of the rain was so loud and it was already at this time. The people next to him might not be able to hear it, so he quickly went back to his room to take out his wallet and phone. He also took a wet towel from the bathroom and knocked on the door of 501 and 502 next door.
As for Room 505, he knew that there was no one there. As for the other people who were more likely to leave, he could not care so much. It was more important to protect himself.
Amidst the cursing and yelling, the doors of 501 and 502 opened one after another.
Soon, all the residents in the building left their homes and came to the corridor on the first floor.
Everyone was pushing and shoving. Due to the dark sky and the heavy rain, and this incident, everyone was not in a good mood. Curses and conversations were endless.
However, the rain was so heavy. They couldn't just run out into the open air, right? Therefore, the corridor on the first floor was packed with people. Some of them were in a hurry and were even shirtless.
The fire department arrived at the square of the residential area in about ten minutes. As this residential area was relatively backward, even the fire truck could not enter. A large group of about 20 firefighters rushed to the third building in the heavy rain and the dark night.
……
"Ding dong ~"
Zhou Qian 'an had set up a special reminder for her team so that she could be woken up quickly even when she was sleeping.
Zhou Qian 'an immediately got up from the bed and switched on the lights.
Sure enough, it was the vice-captain Liu Xie who sent the message. He asked everyone to rush to Runan Community immediately. A new case had happened!
Although Zhou Qian 'an knew that Liu Xie did not necessarily include her when he said everyone, under the strong sense of collective honor, Zhou Qian' an did not finish dressing in less than three minutes. She took a raincoat and closed the door before rushing to Runan Community.
After more than 20 minutes, Liu Xie's team of six arrived at the third building of the residential area first. At this time, the fire alarm had already extinguished the open fire and was checking if there were any hidden sources of fire.
"Captain Liu, you're here?" The captain of the fire brigade, Zhang Daquan, greeted him.
Because of the three previous arson cases, the two of them were considered to be half-acquaintances.
"Captain Zhang, is the cause of the fire the same as the previous three?”
Zhang Daquan replied," No, it's completely different this time. This time, we brought gasoline from outside the scene. This thing can't be extinguished with water. It really took us a while."”
Liu Xie frowned. Was this an imitation, or was it a completely different perpetrator and modus operandi?
At this moment, a firefighter walked out and said,"Captain Zhang, the investigation of the dangerous fire source is complete!"”
Zhang Daquan glanced at Liu Xie, who was deep in thought, and said,"Captain Liu, you can go in and take a look!"”
As it was raining late at night, although it was not suitable to take detailed notes of the people at the scene, they could do a detailed investigation of the crime scene.
"Let's go…"
Before Liu Xie could give the order, a female voice shouted,"Captain Liu, wait for me…"
Everyone saw Zhou Qian 'an, who was wearing a raincoat, jogging in from outside in the heavy rain, panting heavily.
Zhou Qian 'an could not be blamed for being so late. She lived far away and did not know the roads. It took her more than 20 minutes to get there by bicycle.
Liu Xie had almost forgotten about the existence of such a person. However, he did not say anything when he saw her coming. After instructing her not to move, everyone rushed to 508.
