Chapter 72 The Incandescent Lamp

Chen Xingyang, Guo Na, and Zi Yi opened their eyes wide with excitement when they heard Yu Fan say that they had found a way to ignite the fire.

"Oh? What do you know? Tell me." It was an unfamiliar voice, with a strong and deep voice. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was a middle-aged policeman, wearing a straight police uniform, tall Martha, who looks very energetic and mighty, is striding forward.

Zi Yi quickly went up to him and reported to the man: "Hello Director Jin, they are comrades from the XA Municipal Bureau, and they happened to come to us to handle the case. Their team is especially good at dealing with experts in chemistry and psychology. It just so happens that they are willing to Help, I’ll invite them to come and take a look.” Then, Zi Yi introduced the middle-aged policeman to Yu Fan and the others: “This is Director Jin of our bureau. He has been at the scene since the accident happened last night.”

Although Director Jin seemed very imposing, he was very polite when he spoke to Fan and the others: "Hello, Comrade XA, just now you said that you found a way to set fire?"

Yu Fan nodded: "Although I can't be 100% sure, but it is basically sure, come on, everyone look at this." Yu Fan showed the original warehouse map to everyone, and everyone gathered together.

Yu Fan unhurriedly explained to everyone: "First of all, the deceased was not an arsonist. The location of the deceased was in the corner of the warehouse. If the deceased was an arsonist, even if he made a mistake in arson and set fire to his upper body, his body would definitely be destroyed. Appearing on the escape route, that is, on the route closer to the door, how could you do the opposite and run into the warehouse? Isn’t this a suicide act by rushing into the flames?”

Director Jin listened thoughtfully, and asked another question: "Then even if the deceased was not an arsonist, shouldn't he have fled the door the first time the fire caught fire? Why did he burn to death in the corner in the end?"

Yu Fan showed a smile on his face: "Director Jin, you got the point. This is an act against human psychological instinct, so why did he make this choice?"

Guo Na rushed to answer: "Because he couldn't find the exit?"

Chen Frameyang retorted: "The warehouse manager is most familiar with the warehouse, right? How can they not find the direction of the exit?"

ZiYu: "Or is he blind? Blind?"

Chief Jin reasoned further: "Or did he encounter some accident that made him unable to see the way or tell the direction?"

Everyone turned their attention to Fan, which meant that Fan announced his answer.

Yu Fan looked up at the sky, the sun in the sky was looming among the floating ashes, Yu Fan said slowly: "Sometimes, what can bring us light can also bring us into endless darkness."

Everyone was surprised.Yu Fan pointed at the lamp in the photo of the original appearance of the warehouse in his hand again, and said, "The reason why the warehouse keeper lost his way and the cause of the fire is all this one——the incandescent lamp!"

Everyone moved closer to the photo, but none of them understood what Yu Fan meant.

Yu Fan continued to explain: "I just need to do a little bit of manipulation to this incandescent lamp in advance, and it can become an automatic timing detonator!" Yu Fan said while gesturing.

Yu Fan gave Guo Na a thumbs up approvingly, and Guo Na stuck out his tongue at Chen Xingyang proudly.

Yu Fan continued: "Now, I'll put the timer igniter bulb back on the light and wait for the time to come."

Zi Y: "What time?"

Yu Fan didn't answer right away, he walked outside the warehouse, began to imitate the behavior of the warehouse manager, and said to himself: "After I change shifts at 10 o'clock in the evening, after a while, I will start today's routine patrol. When I arrived at the food warehouse, it was about 11 o'clock." While talking, Yu Fan pretended to look at his watch, although Yu Fan didn't wear a watch.

Yu Fan continued: "I confirmed the time and filled out the registration form in my hand. So I opened the door of the warehouse. It was very dark inside and I couldn't see anything." Yu Fan made a gesture of pretending to open the door , and then pretended to look inside. "Because it's too dark, I need to turn on the light. I fumbled for the switch on the wall." Every sentence, Yu Fan vividly reproduced the actions of the storekeeper at that time.

Yu Fan: "I finally touched the switch, and I turned it on. At this moment, ah!!!!" Yu Fan yelled loudly, making Chen Xingyang, who was next to him, tremble back in fright. "The light bulb exploded suddenly!!! Before I had time to react, glass shards pierced into my eyes. I couldn't help touching my eyes, but this made the wound on my eyes worse. I was pushed to the ground by the power wave of the explosion just now. , I couldn’t open my eyes, and I couldn’t distinguish my own direction. I felt as if my surroundings were burning. I tried my best to open my eyes, but I could only see the flames around me. I knew something was wrong. I want to escape from here, so I tried to stand up with something, but I pulled down the shelf, this warehouse is full of puffed food, which makes it easier for explosions and flames to spread, I feel so hot on my body, it's unbearable, I'm going crazy I struggled like this, but the more this happened, the more chaotic the warehouse, and the bigger the flames. I inhaled too much carbon monoxide gas produced by the combustion, and my mind became more and more unconscious. I can only rely on instinct to find the safest, safest place. Don't be in such a painful place." After speaking, Yu Fan curled up in the corner where the dead man finally fell.

Yu Fan came back to his senses.Everyone also stared at Yu Fan dumbfounded. They didn't know if it was the ashes in the air that made everyone uncomfortable, or if everyone wanted to say something. Everyone licked their lips involuntarily, but no one spoke.

Chief Jin broke the silence, and said to Yu Fan, "This comrade from XA." While talking, he looked at Zi Yi, as if he was asking what Yu Fan's name was.

Zi Yi quickly explained: "Mr. Yu Fan, special advisor to XA City Bureau, psychochemist."

Director Jin reorganized the language: "Expert Yu, what you said just now makes sense, so in your opinion, what should be done next?"

Yu Fan: "At present, it seems that this case can be defined as a premeditated vicious arson case. Next, I hope everyone will go to the relevant people to make a record and see if they can provide any clues."

Zi Yi said: "Last night, we took notes on the surrounding people overnight."

Yu Fan: "Please do it again. According to the statistics of human psychology, at night, especially in this kind of frightening fire night, the masses will be restless, feel fear and fear, and tend to miss important clues. When people have a strong sense of security in their hearts and their thoughts are clearer, if they conduct investigations at this time, they will often get unexpected gains.”

Director Jin also ordered: "Listen to the experts, organize people, and do it again!"

Zi Yi said firmly: "Yes! Received."
