Chapter 34

"Don't relax your vigilance even after the fire is extinguished, pour more water, and be careful of resurgence."

After the fire, there was only an empty shell left in the building, and the sight was full of broken walls and ruins. The black lacquered wood was steaming, mixed with the smell of smoke, and gradually dissipated. Everyone in the government office carried wooden barrels in and out. out, repeatedly pouring to prevent the embers from reigniting.

Some people came in and out to water, and some people carried stretchers in and out to carry out charred corpses. The onlookers were stopped by officers and soldiers outside a certain range. A total of seventeen corpses were cleared out, and the death conditions were really horrific.

Although the death situation was horrific, people dared not look directly at it. Some people were covering up but couldn't hide their curiosity. They were driven to look at each other, shivering and saying "scary" and refused to leave.

Zhan Shuyun covered his mouth and nose and walked around the ruins. When he came out, he first asked people to drive away the onlookers, then sent the injured to the medicine hut to make notes, and finally ordered the corpses to be carried back to Dali Temple.

The formerly bustling Dengxian Tower was left with a collapsed dry frame, and the supposedly bustling Poetry Festival Lantern became silent and deserted in the blink of an eye, and it was tainted with the haze of human life, which shows that the world is always impermanent!
"It is said that someone found three corpses in Dengxian Tower, and then there was chaos. In the panic, many people bumped into the candles and knocked over the lanterns. Counting the fires, Dengxian Tower burned."

Xu Hong went to the Yaolu to report the wounded after finishing the record.

Zhan Shuyun pressed his nose with one finger, covered the white cloth on the corpse again, and lifted the next one, "Did anyone see why the three deceased died?"

"I don't know." Xu Hong replied.

In fact, many people never saw the scene of the crime, but just ran out with the flow. "Some people said that they were smeared on the neck, and others said that they were stabbed. The opinions are inconsistent, and there are quite a lot of tricks."

But no matter how various theories are, one thing is certain-death of murder.

The casualties caused by the Dengxianlou fire were accidents. It is impossible to trace who knocked over the candles and dropped the lanterns. This is unrealistic, but the cause of the Dengxianlou fire was discovered by Guo Youzi. In this case, the bottom line is to find out the murderer.

Zhan Shuyun lifted them one by one. The corpses were too badly damaged, most of them were burnt black, and the flesh and flesh on their bodies had long since been wiped away by the fire. It was difficult to distinguish the first three corpses just by naked eyes Which ones are they?

"Call Wu Zuo for an autopsy."

Now I can only hope that Wu Zuo can find any traces.

"I heard that the officers and soldiers who rushed to the scene first brought back the suspect, where is he?" Zhan Shuyun asked suddenly.

in the cell

"Sister, when do you think we can go out?"

"That depends on the severity of the case and the speed at which Dali Temple solves the case."

But how can the case be solved immediately, unless you witness the murder scene and pursue the murderer.

Bai Chi's face broke when he heard the words, "I should have known that I shouldn't be greedy for that little money."

As he said that, he glanced at Ember again, and muttered in a low voice, "You shouldn't be fooled by money, you've earned money, but you have no place to spend it."

Ember tapped on the wooden fence with her fingers, and said, "There is no good thing in the world, you have to pay something, and the price depends on your own ability."

She glanced at Bai Chi, "You are not capable enough, blame me?"

"Someone is coming." After listening carefully, Ember quickly said in a low voice, "Remember what to say and what not to say, don't talk nonsense."

Ember made a silent gesture to Bai Chi, then bent her other leg, crossed her hands, and knelt her head on her knees, becoming a quiet woman again.

The footsteps stopped at the door of the cell, the clerk opened the door of the cell, Zhan Shuyun walked into the cell where Ember was with his hands behind his back, and finally stopped in front of Ember, looked at it for a while, and couldn't tell if the voice was purely stating the facts or sarcasm, he said: "Why is Miss Duan in jail again?"

Ember looked up, "I also want to know why."

Why else, he was arrested as a suspect.

"It's a suspect again... I don't know what Miss Duan wants to say?"

Of course there is, but it's just nonsense, "I was wronged, let me go?"

Zhan Shuyun: "Almost every suspect who was arrested said that. Ms. Duan must know that she said something nonsense."

Ember blinked, "Follow the process?"

Going through the process again.

Zhan Shuyun laughed suddenly, "That Shaoqing's answer is, no."

Ember: "Oh."

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhan Shuyun looked at Ember condescendingly, "Tell me, why did you kill someone?"

Ember knew that this was an interrogation technique, it was commonly used in interrogation, and it could even be said to be a kind of interrogation process. She had no objection to this, but when this technique was used on herself, the mood would not be very good.

"I didn't kill anyone."

But it's not the displeasure of being offended, it's that I have to say a lot of useless words and waste my tongue.

"But someone saw you at the crime scene, you and..." Zhan Shuyun glanced at Bai Chi, "You and this little brother escaped through the window in the box where the body was found."

After Zhan Shuyun finished speaking, he paused, thinking of something, "You...weak woman, dare to open the window and escape, it seems that you have martial arts."

Although Zhan Shuyun didn't think Ember was a weak woman, it was a fact that she was weak, so she could only be considered a 'weak woman' for the time being.

Climb to the four floors of the Immortal Tower, and found that the box of the corpse is on the third floor. If the height from the second floor to the ground can be handled by ordinary people, then the third floor is not easy for a woman with no fists and feet.

"It's all about fisting and kicking." Ember moved her neck, "I learned from my hidden guard... If your lord wants to continue asking questions, please either squat down or stay away from me, and look up at your neck It's really uncomfortable."

"You don't have to watch it."

Ember laughed: "This is basic etiquette."

Zhan Shuyun looked at Ember and remained silent, thinking that you still have manners and are used to putting on airs.

However, Zhan Shuyun still squatted down on one knee and kept the ember at about the same height, "Don't interrupt, you haven't answered my question yet, someone saw you and this little brother escape through the window in the box where the body was found, you What's the explanation?"

"That's right."

Zhan Shuyun was taken aback, is this a confession?
Bai Chi was also taken aback, why did he plead guilty!He didn't kill anyone!

Anxiously, he wanted to speak up to defend himself, but thinking that he couldn't figure out the temperament of this adult, would he offend him if he interrupted without asking him, and secondly, sister Duan must have something Thinking of his success, and remembering the reminder and warning just now, Bai Chi suppressed the desire to speak.

Ember continued, "I'm running away. I found the dead body scary. Can't I just run away like everyone else?"

Zhan Shuyun: "Then your way of escaping is a bit, unique,"
