Murder and Arson!
Cui Hua also came out and looked at the dark sky. Only the southeast direction was emitting a huge flame. The flame was all imprinted in Cui Hua's black eyes, and her expression became ugly.
The man took the wooden bucket and turned around to run out of the door. Cui Hua followed behind the man.
The two of them ran extremely fast. The time that originally took an hour was shortened to fifteen minutes.
The two panted as they ran to the house that was burning. They immediately felt a huge wave of fire surging towards their faces.
Black smoke was also constantly rising outside, making it impossible for people to breathe. The two of them began to cough non-stop when they smelled the smoke.
Cui Hua's eyes were already red because of this non-stop coughing. She ran to the dam and heard the sound of running water. She quickly wet her sleeves and covered her nose.
The man was the same. He anxiously took the wooden bucket and filled it with water to pour the fire. However, when the man poured the bucket of water into the fire, he was almost swallowed by the fire wave. His face was already red and hot.
The man knew that he might not be able to do anything, but the fire was so strong that he could not enter at all. The door had also become a broken wall, but even so, he had to work hard to extinguish the fire.
His eyes revealed determination as he pulled up the wooden bucket and continuously extinguished the fire. Cui Hua also followed suit and carried water to extinguish the fire. The two of them rushed back and forth without stopping, their faces revealing anxiety.
It was unknown if it was their efforts or if there was nothing else in the room that could be burned, but the flames slowly extinguished and were no longer as huge as before.
Cui Hua and the man looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Even though they were a little exhausted, the two of them quickly carried the water and watered it.
Buckets of water were poured into the house, and the fire was quickly extinguished by the two of them.
Cui Hua was extremely happy when she saw this scene. She sat on the ground somewhat exhausted.
The man watched as the fire went out. He threw the wooden bucket aside and rushed into the house impatiently.
However, without the illumination of the flames, everything was pitch black. The man took out a lighter from his clothes and looked around for traces of people. He prayed in his heart over and over again that his brother was not killed.
However, the heavens seemed to be joking with him. His brother was not far from him. The man bent down and continued to search. After a moment, the man looked at the place where many wooden boards were piled up and walked over.
At this moment, Cui Hua shouted a few times but did not see the man answer her. She quickly walked forward and patted the man's shoulder. What are you doing!"
Zhang Zhi came back to his senses and looked at Cui Hua."What's wrong?"
Cui Hua frowned and said,"What's wrong with you? I called you for a long time but you didn't respond to me. This makes me quite scared."
”
After Cui Hua finished speaking, she kept rubbing her shoulders with her hands.
Zhang Zhi pointed at the pile of ruins and said,""I was just wondering if that place was my brother Zhang Quan's bed.”
Cui Hua looked at the ruins and tried her best to recall the structure of the Zhang family. After thinking, she said,"Yeah, but even if Zhang Quan was on the bed, he would have run away if he saw a fire. How could he still be on the bed?”
Zhang Zhi was also puzzled. He looked at Cui Hua and said,"But today, my sister-in-law returned to her mother's house, and there's only my brother at home. Look at this ruin, it doesn't look like it can fit a man. Besides, I started searching from the door. If I run into a fire, I'll definitely be not far from the door.”
Zhang Zhi paused for a moment before continuing,"But look at my brother's house. It's the only place we haven't searched."?”
Cui Hua felt that this matter was very strange. She looked at Zhang Zhi and said,"Let's get this plank up first.”
Zhang Zhi nodded. With the crow of a rooster, he extinguished the fire in his hand. It took them many hours to put out the fire.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, emitting a faint light. However, this was enough for the two of them to see the charcoal clearly. The two of them kept moving the charcoal.
A moment later, the two of them found Zhang Quan's burnt body under a pile of charcoal.
Their hands had already turned black when they were carrying the charcoal. Cui Hua looked at the corpse and fell to the ground in fear.
Zhang Zhi's hands kept shaking, and his eyes became moist.
"Little brother! Little brother! I will definitely avenge you!" Zhang Zhi's pained voice sounded.
After saying that, Zhang Zhi took off his outer robe and covered Zhang Quan, who was not fully clothed.
When Cui Hua heard this, her intuition was wrong and she quickly asked,"Husband, you want revenge. Did you find something?”
Zhang Zhi looked at Cui Hua and said,"Look at my brother's body. There isn't even a piece of charcoal under it. All the charcoal is on his body."”
Cui Hua nodded. This was also the reason why she was scared. The forehead of the corpse was beyond recognition, and the flesh had already solidified. The lower half of the face below the nose was fine, and some parts of the body were charred black, but a little skin could be seen.
Perhaps it was because he was under the bed that the body wasn't burned like the charcoal. Some parts of the body were still intact, but the face that was burned was bigger. However, there was also a factor on the forehead. It was probably the wooden board on the bed that saved Zhang Quan's body.
Zhang Zhi looked at Zhang Quan's corpse with a sorrowful expression and said,"My brother must have been killed and placed under the bed. Even if he was unconscious, he would wake up and crawl out, but my brother didn't. Fortunately, the bed was supported by my brother, and the corpse wasn't seriously damaged. Perhaps the county magistrate can help us solve the case!”
Cui Hua looked at Zhang Zhi's expression and thought that she had heard of the reputation of the county magistrate. If it was really caused by her sister-in-law, then they would report it to the officials no matter what. Even if it was not caused by her sister-in-law, they would be able to live up to their conscience by reporting it to the officials.
Cui Hua nodded at Zhang Zhi and said,"Husband, then I'll go back and get the cart. It's not too late for us to have breakfast before we go. The magistrate hasn't opened the door yet.”
Zhang Zhi nodded and said to Cui Hua in a hoarse voice,"Wifey, thank you."
Cui Hua smiled and said,"Your younger brother is also my younger brother. Now that such a thing has happened, I naturally have to help."”
Zhang Zhi looked at Cui Hua's words and was moved. After all, this was all his own guess. Because that sister-in-law was too fickle, she naturally wanted to harm his younger brother so that he could be with an adulterer.
