My martial arts rely on solving cases

As a last resort, the official warehouse began to release grain.Although the grain in the official warehouse has been soaked in water, it is old grain again.But at this time, no one will care about these small problems.

Barely controlled the situation, but Zhang Dacheng was still very busy.Infection with the plague was under control, but the spread had spread throughout the city.

In order to effectively contain the epidemic, Su Qing had to order a movement restriction order after weighing up and down.Only one person from each household is allowed to go out to purchase supplies, and they are not allowed to gather, drop by, or go out and walk around at will.

Although this move is bound to cause the people to panic again, but in order to eliminate the plague in the shortest time, they can't take care of that.Zhan Zhao began to investigate all grain merchants in Fengqi County, but so far no one has been found that meets the requirements.

In the afternoon of the next day, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the alley in Hongni Lane, Qingshi Street.

Accompanied by a loud noise, the roof of a family's kitchen was slammed open, and countless flames splashed around like sparks.The fire light fell, and a raging fire ignited immediately when it came into contact with combustible objects.

The neighbors in the alley were stunned for a moment, and then saw the sparks start a prairie fire and the fire spread.

It was already an hour later when Su Qing got the news.Su Qing arrived with a group of arresters, and the fire had been extinguished by the neighbors.

The fire destroyed more than [-] houses and killed more than [-] people.This was still in broad daylight, but at night, the number of people burned to death would have tripled at least.

"Master Su, the folks said it might be Tianhuo." A policeman replied after learning about the situation.

"Sky fire? How to say?"

"All they heard was a thunderbolt from the blue, and then fire fell like rain from the sky. And the fire was of a strange origin and could not be extinguished.

A spark rolled down in the center of a family's main room and burned there by itself.The family was trampled out three times, but sparks rekindled, and in the end the house was not saved.Fortunately, everyone escaped. "

Upon hearing this, Su Qing instantly thought of the burning substance that she had been investigating.

"Where is the fire?"

"At Li Han's house, the brothers are cleaning up the scene."

"Take me there."

Su Qing followed the policeman to Li Han's house, and the policeman pointed to the kitchen that had been blown into ruins, and the roof was gone.

And beside the collapsed corner of the kitchen, there were several corpses lying here and there.

What is heartbreaking is that among these corpses are the remnants of several seven or eight-year-old children, who have been blasted beyond human appearance.

Su Qing's gaze swept across, and the ruins were completely dark and completely destroyed.The detectives under him searched for clues inch by inch, and found some iron pieces with strange shapes in the corner of the kitchen.

Such a scene made Su Qing feel like she was out of place in time and space. Does this scene look like ruins that have been bombarded by shells?The corpses around the kitchen are also divergent branches in the form of shock waves.

"Is there anyone alive in this family? What's going on?"

"No more." Lu Xiaobai shook his head silently with a gloomy face.

"There are a total of nine people in this family, and they are all at home because of the plague. Except for the five people in the kitchen, there are four people in the main room. They either died of divine punishment or died of the fire, and none of them survived."

What the hell was the explosion that was so powerful?
At this time, Su Qing noticed the iron pieces collected by her subordinates.Going forward to check, these iron sheets are very thick, and there are regular arc angles on the incomplete iron sheets.

Looking at the iron piece, it looks more like a cannonball.

"What is this?"

"It's so broken that I can't recognize it."

At this moment, a young man among the yamen servants suddenly thought of something, his eyes burst into a sudden light, and he raised his hand.

"My lord, I know, this is a popcorn stove. My family has one. When I was young, my grandpa would use the stove to cook popcorn for us every Chinese New Year.

But the popcorn stove exploded in my house, but at most the lid was lifted, how could it blow up the stove? "

Popcorn Stoves, High Temperature...Spontaneous Combustion Substances...

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across Su Qing's mind.

"What does Li Han's family do?"

"Li Han's father is a craftsman of fried rice. Li Han is tall and tall. He is a long-term worker of the Ye family. He has an older sister and a younger brother who is not married. The younger brother learns the craft from a carpenter. Who is there? Not sure."

"The long-term worker of the Ye family? Go and invite the Ye family father and son."

"Yes!"

An hour later, Ye Zhiqiu came to Su Qing in a hurry, and when he saw Su Qing's face showing guilt, he immediately bowed his head and bowed.

"Forgive me, my lord. My father has fallen ill due to excessive grief. I really can't get up and see Mr. Su. Cao Min will accompany my father on behalf of Mr. Su."

"Ye Yuanwai is sick? How is the condition?"

"The Ye family's hundred-year-old foundation was ruined, and my father fell ill because he was heartbroken and refused to eat or drink. Cao Min had to be by his side to comfort and persuade him. I hope my father can think about it."

"What is your order for Cao Min to come?"

"Li Han is your parent's worker? What is he doing at your house?"

"Li Han?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at a middle-aged man who came with him.Obviously, Ye Zhiqiu, who is the young master, doesn't know who Li Han is.

"Young master, Li Han has been a long-term worker in our family for ten years, working in the grain farm. He is hardworking but a little dirty. It's just that he doesn't take much or valuable things, so we just turn a blind eye. eyes."

After listening to the explanation, Su Qing understood.

"So Li Han brought back something that shouldn't be taken from the Ye family's grain farm. This thing should be rice from the Ye family. In this way, the trick behind the scenes is not to add things to the grain, but to use rice. Otherwise, there is no reason for the Lijia Shaobao rice not to be cleaned and sorted, and it is impossible to burn it with spontaneous combustion substances."

"How can rice spontaneously combust?"

"What if the self-igniting thing is made exactly like food? Rice is the most common thing, no one will carefully distinguish a bag of rice, right?"

After listening to Su Qing's analysis, the people present still felt a little unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no more reasonable explanation except this.

However, the self-igniting matter that is exactly the same as rice only exists in Su Qing's speculation, and substantive evidence must be found to confirm the speculation.

At this time, a blue-clothed fast-moving figure rushed over from a distance. The undulating eaves, vertical walls, and weak branches all became a springboard for his feet.

Within a few breaths, the head catcher landed in front of Lu Xiaobai.

"Chief arrester, someone reported the case. A large-scale homicide happened just now in the west of the city."

"Large murder case? Where is it?" Su Qing asked.

"In the west of the city, in Feiyan Lane, a family was wiped out."

"Full family case? Is it a vendetta or something?"

"It's not clear yet, the dead are just ordinary people, but those who did it should be people from the Jianghu."

As soon as these words came out, many people present were moved.

People from the rivers and lakes wipe out ordinary people all over the house, and it rarely happens in Lingxi Mansion.In addition to the government's zero tolerance for such things, Jianghu martial arts also have strict rules.

Jianghu matters, the Jianghu is over, but if ordinary people are involved and ordinary people are attacked, the government will punish them together.

Su Qing was not as complicated as Lu Xiaobai thought. When she heard about this case, a beast-like intuition flashed through her mind. Could this murder case be related to the case in Fengqi County?

"Come on, let's go take a look together."

Leaving a group of subordinates to continue to deal with the follow-up matters, Su Qing only brought Lu Xiaobai and the policeman who reported the report to the scene of the crime.

Looking inside from the open gate, there are policemen walking back and forth in the courtyard.As he approached the courtyard gate, he saw corpses lying all over the courtyard lying on the ground.

This is a prosperous family, although not rich, but three generations live together.More than a dozen corpses were dumped in the courtyard, including old and young, men and women.

"There should be no less than two perpetrators. The murderer's knife was very fast, cutting off the throats of three people with one knife. And the speed of attack was so fast that the deceased hardly had time to react.

The murder happened an hour ago, and the family was just getting ready for lunch.Neighbors left and right hardly heard the sound.If it wasn't for the neighbor next door who came to borrow soy sauce and discovered the scene, I'm afraid no one might notice until tomorrow. "

The head catcher who reported the news explained to Su Qing.

"Although the murderer possesses martial arts skills, it is not certain that it was done by martial arts people. The murderer's attack is very vicious and his purpose is very clear, just to kill people. Find out if there is any sworn enemy in this family?" Lu Xiaobai experienced said seasonedly.

"Also check whether this family is related to the Ye family." Su Qing said suddenly.

"Yes!"

After a while, the head catcher left and returned.

"My lord, I checked. The whole family of the Yan family is working in the kiln firing workshop. I haven't heard of any enmity with anyone. Old man Yan is still a master worker in the kiln firing workshop. He has taught dozens of apprentices, and some of them are not very good. messed with.

Basically, the Yan family has nothing to do with the Ye family, but the third son-in-law of the Yan family seems to be the long-term worker of the Ye family. "

Upon hearing this, Su Qing's eyes flickered, "Is it called Li Han?"

"Yes, that's the name."

Su Qing instantly thought that the extermination of Yan's family should be because someone wanted to exterminate her. As for why Su Qing hadn't figured it out yet, it didn't matter.

"I remember that Li Han also has an older sister and a younger brother. I immediately found out the whereabouts of these two people."

Lu Xiaobai also suddenly thought of the murderer's intentions, and immediately ordered someone to investigate.With Su Qing, the immediate boss, watching, the police officers searched for information at an unusually fast speed.Before Su Qing could drink a cup of hot tea, Li Han's sister's whereabouts were found out.

Before reporting to Su Qing, the police had already rushed over.

Li Han's sister married a doctor more than ten years ago, but the doctor died of illness within a few years.Sister Li Han is struggling to survive with her two children.Fortunately, Li Han's family often help out, and Li Han's sister will deliver birthdays, which is barely passable.

At this moment, a fight is going on in the alley in the south of the city.

Five policemen blocked the narrow alley tightly to prevent the murderer from escaping, but in front of the policemen there was a mysterious man in a black robe wearing a mask and holding a machete in his hand.

Although there were five arresters on one side, all five arresters stared at the murderous mysterious man in front of them as if facing a formidable enemy.

Because just now, a brother was lost in a fight on the first day of junior high school.

The person in front of him is so evil that he can conjure three hands.If it weren't for the blue sky and bright sun, the catcher would have wondered if he had bumped into a monster.

The man in black came step by step, and the deadly silence seemed to freeze the space.

One of the arresters had a stern expression on his face, "You supported me from the sidelines and fought him hard."

As he spoke, he raised his knife and struck at the head of the man in black.
