I am a super cop

Chapter 1427 Fire
Inside the room.

Feeling like a suspect being interrogated, Yuan Shasha really wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

Therefore, it is not a good thing for you to know some confidential things first.

Especially when your position is not directly proportional to the confidential information you know, it is certain to be questioned.

Seeing everyone staring at her with strange eyes, Yuan Shasha took a deep breath, and could only say frankly: "Well, didn't we come to the TV studio together before? Didn't I go to the toilet later? I left for a while time."

"Well, yes, I remember you were away for a while." Lu Weiwei remembered such a thing.

Yuan Shasha smiled slightly, and continued to explain: "So when I went to the toilet, I happened to hear a female guest from the Yuan Group chatting with another female guest about this matter in the toilet."

"So... so I know, but because it involves some secrets, I don't know how to tell you about it. I thought Bureau Zhao would pass it on, so I just said it casually at the time."

"It's too much." Hearing Yuan Shasha's remarks, Police Officer Wang was a little dissatisfied.

You know, ordinary people don't have the so-called habit of keeping secrets.

This kind of discussion with Qin Gang was just discussed in the toilet openly.

Fortunately, it was heard by our own people. If outsiders knew about it, all kinds of rumors might fly in the sky the next day.

Officer Wang shook his head and continued to ask: "Then when they were discussing this matter in the toilet, was there anyone else present?"

Yuan Shasha shook her head: "No, and I reminded them not to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and they also expressed their apologies, so I don't think they should talk nonsense."

"Okay." Knowing that everything was under control, Officer Wang didn't pursue anything further.

Just encouraging everyone to participate in the Rainbow Run, it turns out that there is such a meaning, which is something that Police Officer Wang didn't think about before.

A national fitness movement.

More than 1000 contestants.

If someone really wants to do something during the game, make some small moves, the situation is generally difficult to control.

But since someone has already issued a danger warning, it is tantamount to fighting against the Jiangnan police.

Everyone dare not slack off at this moment.

Since the specific task has not been issued from Zhao Guozhi, everyone has to prepare with both hands and have certain psychological expectations.

Maybe the next morning, Zhao Guozhi will give the order.

Everyone in the hotel also had a short discussion before preparing to leave.

Before leaving, Bai Xiaolan took out the discount card given by the photographer Wu Jun, and Gu Chen paid for the meal.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a man with a tiger totem tattooed on his arms also took out his mobile phone and checked out.

Seeing that Gu Chen has a lot of discounts here, the tattooed man complained a little, so he asked the cashier at the front desk, "Why do they offer so many discounts?"

"They are friends of the boss, and they have discount cards," said the cashier at the front desk.

The tattooed man was a little upset, and continued to ask: "Then how can I get a discount card?"

"A single consumption of 1000 yuan can be processed." The cashier said.

"Damn it." It seemed that the consumption amount was not enough, the man spit out a dirty word, then paid directly with his mobile phone, and returned to his private room again.

Gu Chen just took a casual glance and found that this tattooed man was the customer of the No. 5 private room.

Thinking about the commotion next door just now, it seems to be their masterpiece.

"Gu Chen, let's go." Seeing that Gu Chen had paid for the meal and was still standing there, Police Officer Wang who walked to the door reminded him.

"Okay, come." Gu Chen took back his phone and followed directly.

……

……

4 points in the early hours.

The police dormitory of the Seremban Sub-bureau.

When everyone was having a tryst with Duke Zhou, a rapid fire alarm rang.

Gu Chen opened his eyes and sat up straight away.

Ding Liang, who was at the side, was also awakened by the noisy movement, beeping twice, and said in a daze: "It's late at night, why don't you let people sleep?"

"Maybe it's on fire somewhere?" Gu Chen sat by the window for two seconds before getting out of bed to drink a glass of water.

And at this moment, there was another fire siren.

This time, Gu Chen could easily tell that it was the establishment of two fire trucks.

Including the one at the beginning, three fire trucks were dispatched in one night.

Gu Chen frowned, feeling that the movement seemed a bit loud.

"Gu Chen, help me get a glass of water." Huang Zunlong, who was sleeping on the bed, seemed to be awakened by the movement just now, and directly reached out to ask Gu Chen for water.

Gu Chen took the water glass on the table and handed it to Huang Zunlong.

Huang Zunlong immediately unscrewed the lid of the cup, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and then returned it to Gu Chen's hand, smiling politely: "Please put it down again."

"Boom!"

Gu Chen gently placed it on the table, but at this moment, another siren sounded again.

This time, Gu Chen heard that it was the establishment of two fire trucks.

"What's going on? Five fire trucks went all at once? There's a lot of noise?" Gu Chen frowned, put on his sports shorts, and opened the dormitory's screen window.

Through the gaps in the leaves, Gu Chen could see the fire trucks gradually disappearing from sight.

At this time, Ding Liang was also woken up, and asked sleepily, "Gu Chen, where is the fire?"

"I don't know yet." Gu Chen shook his head, feeling that five fire trucks were dispatched at once, as if the fire was a bit serious.

Ding Liang rubbed his eyes, and also yawned and urged: "Gu Chen, don't worry about it, there are people from the fire brigade, it's okay, you should go to bed quickly."

"Okay, let's see what's going on tomorrow?" Although Gu Chen said this, he was still a little worried.

In my impression, two fire trucks are enough to deal with general fires.

However, five fire engines were dispatched at one time, and it seemed that the fire was a bit serious.

But these are not within the scope of my duties, so I have to rest first and see what happens tomorrow.

The fire sirens faded away and the night suddenly fell silent again.

……

……

The next morning, 7:30 am.

After eating breakfast with everyone, Gu Chen walked into the office one after another.

But at this moment, Zhao Guozhi also rushed in from the door.

Seeing Gu Chen, he immediately urged, "Gu Chen, take your team members and go to the Golden Horse Furniture City immediately."

"What's the situation?" Gu Chen stood up and asked curiously.

Zhao Guozhi walked to the water dispenser, picked up a disposable paper cup, placed it next to the water dispenser to fill it with hot water, and said casually:
"Golden Horse Furniture City, a fire broke out last night, and the losses were a bit heavy. The fire brigade over there called me early in the morning, saying that they suspected someone deliberately set the fire on purpose, and asked us to send someone to assist in the investigation."

"I understand." Gu Chen understood Zhao Guozhi's meaning, and immediately picked up the notebook on the table, fetched the single police equipment, and said, "Let's go there now."

……

……

With Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, we drove to the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza.

At this moment, the Golden Horse Furniture Square is already in a mess.

Many shopkeepers are cleaning up the debris.

At this moment, there is only one fire command vehicle parked nearby on the side of the road.

When Gu Chen drove the police car to the front of the command vehicle, a commander of the fire brigade pushed open the door, held a bag of items in his hand, and walked towards Gu Chen.

After Gu Chen got out of the car, he immediately handed over to the visitor and said, "Hi, I'm Gu Chen, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch."

"So it's you?" The visitor seemed to recognize Gu Chen.

It was only then that Gu Chen discovered that the other party was Lao Ma, the fire commander who had met many times.

Seeing the old acquaintance, Gu Chen also grinned and asked, "Commander Ma, what's going on here?"

"It's a long story." Lao Ma glanced at the messy Golden Horse Furniture City in front of him, and said helplessly:

"Yesterday, I received a fire alarm, saying that the Golden Horse Furniture City was on fire. I took my brothers and rushed to the scene overnight. I found thick black smoke, which was constantly rushing from the shopping malls to the residential buildings."

Pointing to the upper floor of the Golden Horse Furniture City, Lao Ma continued to explain: "See? The upper floors of the Jinma Furniture City shopping mall are all residential buildings."

"We urgently sealed off the scene at that time, and combined with the nearby police on duty, we urgently evacuated 168 shops around the mall and nearly 800 residents."

Taking a deep breath, Lao Ma was also afraid for a while, and said: "At the beginning, I asked you policemen on duty to be responsible for maintaining order at the scene from the perspective of rescue."

"Fortunately, after nearly two hours of all-out efforts by our fire department to fight the fire, we extinguished all nine fires in the furniture store, and the fire area exceeded 1000 square meters. There were no casualties at all."

Glancing at Gu Chen, the old horse also said meaningfully: "Gu Chen, there are nine fires, we suspect it was arson."

"Really?" When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately felt that the situation at the scene seemed a bit complicated.

And Police Officer Wang at the side also hurriedly asked: "Old Ma, you said just now that there are nine fire points, how could there be so many fire points suddenly?"

"Yeah, I also want to know why?" Comrade Ma spread his hands, also showing a helpless expression:

"Actually, after we controlled the fire, we also went in to investigate the cause of the fire, and found that there were many fire points, and the distance between fires was relatively large."

"In addition..." Speaking of this, Lao Ma directly handed the bag to Police Officer Wang, and said, "In addition, we also found this at the scene, a pipe pliers."

"Furthermore, after the on-site investigation by our firefighters, it was found that there were multiple fire points at the same time in the Golden Horse Furniture Mall. This is worth noting."

"It seems that the possibility of artificial arson is very high." Police officer Wang put on his gloves and took the object provided by the old horse in his hand to observe.

"This is a pipe plier that can cut chains." Gu Chen knew this thing and said casually.

Lu Weiwei was a little uneasy and said, "Could it be that someone used this kind of pipe pliers to cut the lock on the gate of Jinma Furniture City, and then sneaked in and set fire to it?"

"It's entirely possible." After the old horse walked back and forth twice, he also said with emotion: "From the current situation, we did find a chain that was cut."

"And I asked the evacuated residents nearby, and they told me that this shopping mall is divided into the east building and the west building. The west building was going to be refurbished at that time, so the monitoring system was completely removed."

"Remove all monitoring?" Gu Chen seemed to have heard the tricks, and hurriedly asked: "When is the time to remove it?"

"Hehe, it's so unfortunate that it happened to be the day before the fire, that is, yesterday morning." The old horse said helplessly.

Gu Chen shook his head, as if he felt that there was an inexplicable coincidence at this point in time.

How can there be many fires in the shopping mall at night as soon as the surveillance system here is removed?
From this point of view, it seems that the possibility of artificial arson is very high.

Gu Chen frowned, and continued to ask for confirmation: "So Commander Ma, the video equipment in the mall caught fire as soon as it was shut down because of renovation, right?"

"Of course." Lao Ma nodded silently, and said in confirmation: "Many residents nearby can testify, but they said so, and some of them were said by shopkeepers in the Golden Horse Furniture City."

"Well, this is a bit troublesome." Gu Chen crossed his arms and thought for a few seconds.

From this point of view, it seems that in terms of monitoring, the entire area is a blind spot.

Generally, to find clues, surveillance images are essential.

But now the coincidence is that as soon as the surveillance system was removed, the fire broke out in the middle of the night, and multiple locations caught fire at the same time.

Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Can we go in and have a look?"

"Of course." The old horse nodded slightly, raised the cordon, let everyone in, and said as he walked:

"The reason why I called your Zhao Bureau and asked your Zhao Bureau to send someone to assist in the investigation is to find out who started the fire."

Pointing to the building above, Comrade Ma also felt quite relieved: "It's fortunate that we evacuated in time, so many residents above were able to evacuate safely."

"Otherwise, once the fire spreads, it will keep burning upwards, and it will be a big trouble at that time."

"Is there no smoke detector in the mall?" Yuan Shasha, who was walking behind, asked.

The old horse smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Of course there is, and fortunately, these smoke detectors can work normally."

"Multiple fires were quickly extinguished by sprinkler devices. In addition, our fire brigade arrived in time and fought hard to extinguish the fire, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Let's go in and have a look first." Gu Chen stepped over the ruins under his feet and went straight into the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza.

At this moment, there was a smell of burning inside the mall. Everyone put on their masks and started walking towards the fire point under the leadership of the old horse.

Walking around in a circle, Comrade Lao Ma introduced the location of the fire after his investigation to Gu Chen and the others, and said patiently:
"According to our past experience, we found 5 fire points in 9 stores in the Golden Horse Mall."

"And it is through these locations that these fires continue to spread to other parts of the mall."

"Fortunately, the smoke detectors worked, and some places were quickly extinguished, but in some places the fire was very large, and it seemed that many flammable objects were ignited."

After a pause, Lao Ma pointed to several burnt sofa samples, and said involuntarily: "You also know that this is a furniture city, and all the furniture products are sold here."

"Furniture products are flammable items, so they burn very quickly this time. The nine fire points we found basically caught fire at the same time..."

Listening to Lao Ma's narration here, Lu Weiwei also found that many surveillance cameras in the shopping mall were still in place, and there was no sign of being removed.

So Lu Weiwei walked under a surveillance camera and looked up.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei seemed to have found something tricky, so she quickly reminded Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, help me push that burnt sofa over."

"Is it this, Senior Sister Lu?" Yuan Shasha asked, pointing to a burnt-out sofa.

"Yeah, push it over." Lu Weiwei said.

Yuan Shasha obeyed and pushed the sofa in front of Lu Weiwei.

Lu Weiwei, on the other hand, stepped directly on the sofa and looked up at the surveillance camera in front of her.

After observing for a while, Lu Weiwei took out a bright flashlight again and shined it on the surveillance camera.

Next, Lu Weiwei still used the same method to carry out the same detailed inspection of the remaining cameras nearby.

On the other side, Gu Chen was also listening to Lao Ma's introduction.

It can be said that in order to assist the police in the investigation, Comrade Ma also told Gu Chen the exact results of his fire brigade's investigation.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha walked quickly from another passage, and came directly in front of the three of them.

Police officer Wang looked dumbfounded and asked, "Lu Weiwei, where did you go just now?"

"I'm going to check the cameras." Lu Weiwei patted the dirt on her hands and said involuntarily, "I found that there are still many surveillance cameras in this shopping mall that haven't been removed."

"But it's strange that these surveillance cameras all seem to have been tampered with."

"If you do the math, it should have been vandalized before the fire broke out."

"Could it have been destroyed when the mall dismantled the surveillance system? After all, wasn't it necessary to temporarily dismantle these surveillance systems?" Police Officer Wang gave his opinion.

But Lu Weiwei disagreed, and directly retorted: "Impossible, these surveillance cameras, in my opinion, are all in a state of failure."

"And just such a dismantling method, if it is reinstalled, it must be quite troublesome, because these lines have been roughly demolished."

"This means that before the fire broke out in the mall, the multiple cameras inside and outside the mall were actually out of order."

"Well, maybe that's the reason." Lao Ma couldn't say anything, so he just echoed casually: "What about these surveillance cameras, I have to go to the surveillance room to see."

"However, according to our preliminary survey, I feel that the possibility of arson is extremely high, especially the pliers we found at the scene, which is quite obvious."

"Where's the monitoring room?" Gu Chen has roughly walked around all the burnt areas of the Golden Horse Furniture City.

Now I have a general understanding of the scene environment.

Coupled with Lu Weiwei's discovery of some surveillance cameras that have not been removed, Gu Chen is very eager to know if he can gain something in the surveillance room.

"Hey, sir, where is the monitoring room?" Lao Ma looked at an owner who was cleaning up the wreckage of the shop and asked.

"Over there, turn left." The owner said.

"Okay, thank you." Hearing the owner's sobs, Gu Chen also quickened his pace and walked towards the monitoring room.
