Chapter 989 Another Fire

It has to be said that Tenal is quite bold, and he dares to play a serial scheme under the nose of the swollen daughter. . . But all this is just Liu Xing's imagination, so the truth is still unknown.

Looking at Liu Xing who was distracted, Mai Yuqiang asked curiously: "Liu Xing, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

Liu Xing, who was suddenly questioned, quickly shook his head and replied: "Well, I just thought of some other things. I am also at a loss as to the death of the leopard. After all, the clues are still too limited; but from the current situation Looking at it, I also think that Bai Liang is very likely to be the murderer, or one of the murderers, so can't your Duoh Town Protection Association directly take action and ask Bai Liang first?"

Liu Xing emphasized the pronunciation of the word "ask".

Mai Yuqiang shook his head and said helplessly: "In the final analysis, our Duwang Town Protection Association is a self-organized street office. If we really go to arrest Bai Liang, there will most likely be problems... This can be regarded as a certain restriction imposed by the Swollen Daughter on us. In the past, we also thought about catching one or two suspects, and then used some special means to judge whether the suspect was the person we wanted to find, but the result was no matter No matter how covert and efficient we are, we will receive an official warning from Nagoya as soon as possible. If they don’t let people go, Nagoya will send a special team to detect these kidnapping cases.”

Mai Yu paused, sighed and said: "Boss Bai used to have a good friend who did not believe in evil, and then he became a kidnapper and was taken to Nagoya for detention and trial. As a result, he was not qualified to leave Morio Town. , so the vehicle he was riding in encountered a bizarre car accident not long after leaving the area of ​​Morio Town. Everyone in the car except him was uninjured, but he died without a complete body... You know That man is also a practitioner, and usually he only scratches his skin when he collides with a car traveling at full speed."

"What about resisting arrest or escaping?" Li Hanxing asked curiously.

Mai Yuqiang smiled coldly, shook his head and said: "Of course it's not that good. The first thing is to run away. No matter where you run, you will be discovered immediately, not to mention that we can only stay in Duwang Town. Lidou; as for arrest, you can know what it feels like to encounter a wall hanging with a perspective and a lock in an FPS game, so this is all the price of blood."

As soon as Mai Yuqiang finished speaking, Dio pushed the door open and entered.

"We can't attack ordinary people in Morio Town without clear evidence, so even if we know that Bai Liang suddenly disappeared for half an hour, we can't use it as evidence to arrest Bai Liang. Liang, because Bai Liang probably ate something bad last night, so he ran to the toilet and squatted for half an hour." Dior said with a shrug.

Mai Yuqiang glanced at Dio and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Dior sighed, shook his head and said: "There is no progress. The secret investigation of Bai Liang has been fully launched, but judging from the current situation, Bai Liang still looks like that, and he doesn't look like he was injured. Judging from the blood stains found at the scene, one of the two murderers still suffered a slight injury, but it was the kind of injury that could be solved at home. Therefore, our investigation of the residents of Zenmorou Town may be It won’t have any effect.”

After Dior finished speaking, he took out a piece of transparent crystal from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing quickly took over the transparent crystal. As expected, this crystal was also a prop.

Mysterious crystal? ? ?

Just as Liu Xing expected, the information about this crystal is full of question marks, but this also confirms that the origin of this crystal is not simple, otherwise it would not be judged as a prop by the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall.

So next we have to start from this crystal to collect clues.

Liu Xing sent a text message to Alice, asking when she would be able to arrive at Duwang Town.

As a world-renowned occultist. . . As an apprentice, Alice naturally has very good attainments in mysticism, so after Alice learned about the crystals, she immediately decided to come to Morio Town to study these crystals with professional equipment.

Alice's text message was answered very quickly, telling Liu Xing that she was already on the way, only about an hour away from Nagoya, but she had to go to Nagoya first, because Zhang Jingxu and others also asked Zetian before she set off. Mi Yin asked for help, so Alice brought something to Zhang Jingxu and the others.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu and others did encounter new troubles in Nagoya. To put it simply, they were pushed to the place where the fight between the Wu family faction and the public faction was the fiercest. The people arranged by the public faction here all came from a secret. Church - Shadow Gang.

As the name of this secret church suggests, the believers are a group of guys who are good at using shadows to make fuss. Fortunately, the entry requirements for this secret church are very high, so the number of people in the entire Shadow Sect may not exceed three digits, so they were sent to the Shadow Sect in Nagoya. There were only three believers. . . However, it was because of these three people that Zhang Jingxu and the others suffered a loss shortly after arriving, causing Zhang Wenbing and Yin En to suffer minor injuries.

So in order to counter these followers of the Shadow Sect, Zhang Jingxu and others asked Sawada Yaon to get some real shadowless lamps. It is said that these shadowless lamps were invented by a certain player, because in this strange and chaotic Kesu In the world of Lu, shadow does sometimes become a fatal weakness.

It seems that Alice will have to wait until dinner time to arrive at Morio Town.

Liu Xing was putting away the crystal and just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a huge explosion.

Liu Xing and others subconsciously left the studio, looked in the direction of the explosion, and saw a ball of black smoke and soaring fire rising not far away.

"Huh?! It's Lao Wu's restaurant!" Mai Yuqiang said loudly: "Let's go over and have a look!"

After speaking, Mai Yuqiang ran out.

Liu Xing and others followed closely, and when they arrived at the explosion site, they found that the old Wu's restaurant had been engulfed in flames, and there were many people sitting or lying outside with varying degrees of injuries.

Liu Xing and others quickly helped the injured to a safer place to rest, then looked silently at the Wu's Restaurant, which had been completely engulfed by the fire.

After a while, Dior said with certainty: "There must be something wrong with this fire, because Old Wu usually stays in the restaurant. If there is anything wrong, he should be able to find the problem at the first time, so as long as Old Wu is here It is impossible for such a fire accident to happen... And the most important thing is that we haven't seen Lao Wu yet."

Looking at the raging fire against Miao, Mai Yuqiang shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that Lao Wu had played with fire all his life, but in the end he died in the fire... But who will be the murderer this time? Could it be again? Bai Liang?"

"Probably not. There is no reason for Bai Liang to commit two crimes in such a short period of time, and there shouldn't be any grudge between him and Lao Wu, right? So he has no reason to harm Lao Wu." Liu Xing said doubtfully.

Dior nodded and said: "Liu Xing is right. Lao Wu basically stays in his own restaurant, so what chance does he have to make enemies with outsiders? What's more, Bai Liang has been there since he came to Duwang Town. I have never been to Lao Wu’s restaurant, so the possibility of conflict between the two is basically zero, so the fire this time probably has nothing to do with Lao Wu.”

At this moment, Bai Xing arrived at the scene with a team of people.

"Fortunately, Lao Wu's restaurant is a single-family building, so the fire should not spread to surrounding houses."

Bai Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dio, did you find anything after you arrived at the scene?"

Dio shook his head and said, "Nothing. We didn't see anything strange after arriving here, but it's worth mentioning that we didn't find Lao Wu's whereabouts, so he is probably still in the restaurant. inside..."

"Alas." Bai Xing said helplessly: "In this case, there is a high probability that Old Wu must have encountered an accident; just before I heard the explosion, I arranged a team of people to follow Bai Liang, so basically we can It is certain that the fire was not caused by Bai Liang, because he was still working peacefully under our noses at that time."

"If it's not Bai Liang, it should be his accomplice. After all, the fire should not be an accident." Liu Xing said, "But the question is still, why did they do this?"

Everyone present fell into silence again because they couldn't figure out the question Liu Xing was talking about.

An hour later, the fire was finally put out.

Looking at the Wu's Restaurant, which had been burned by the fire until only an empty shell was left, Liu Xing and others put on masks and entered.

After a rough exploration, Liu Xing and others found a total of five corpses in the restaurant. However, these corpses had long been unrecognizable due to the fire, so it was not easy to determine their identities. However, one of them was found in the restaurant. Judging from the corpse found in the kitchen with a silver ring on his left hand, this person is probably Lao Wu.

Because Liu Xing and others were not formal members of the Duwang Town Protection Association, they had no way to participate in the subsequent internal discussions and further investigations and research. Therefore, Liu Xing and others had no choice but to come to Sirius's studio again.

After entering the studio, Sirius said without hesitation: "This fire was obviously deliberately caused by someone, because I found traces of someone using a spell at the scene, but what's interesting is that judging from the fire scene, that spell The release location is in the kitchen."

Hearing what Sirius said, Liu Xing couldn't help but frowned, "According to Sirius, the fire was caused by someone using a spell in the kitchen to detonate the natural gas in the kitchen, and then caused the fire? Then the question is , what do the people who use this spell think? Does he also want to die? Or does he have the ability to leave the scene instantly? "

"A body suspected to be Lao Wu was found in the kitchen, so unless Lao Wu was seeking his own death, a person with teleportation ability ran into the kitchen and set fire to it." Li Hanxing continued: "But then again Well, the possibility of the latter is quite high, because don’t forget that the burns on the leopard appeared on the back, and from our previous analysis, the two murderers were in front of the leopard at the beginning. So maybe one of the killers knows how to teleport over short distances?"

Everyone nodded, feeling that what Li Hanxing said was quite reasonable.

But the question still remains, what grudge does Lao Wu have against the arsonist?

If we don't understand this, this series of events will still seem like a headless fly. . . You can only know that it is a fly, but you do not know what the face of this fly looks like.

Liu Xing felt pain in his head for the first time in a long time. . .

After everyone pondered for a long time, they still couldn't think of a reason and could only wait for further news from the Morio Town Protection Association.

But at this moment, Liu Xing suddenly thought of Isabella. Perhaps Isabella might be helpful to this matter, because the arsonist this time was probably one of the murderers who killed Wang Bao.

So Liu Xing took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Isabella, asking if Isabella had any thoughts on the fire.

After a while, Isabella replied to the text message.

In the text message, Isabella actually mentioned one thing - Lei Qi and Wang Bao used to like to eat at Lao Wu's restaurant, and they also had a very good relationship with Lao Wu.

This is interesting. Unexpectedly, Lao Wu actually got involved with Wang Bao.

In this case, the person who set the fire this time might really be one of the murderers who killed the leopard, and the reason why he set the fire was probably because he was worried that Lao Wu would avenge Wang Bao?

Something seems wrong?

In this case, the murderer thought that Old Wu had a high chance of guessing who he was?

Wait, judging from the fact that the murderer is so eager to take action, Old Wu should be able to know who the murderer is when he learns the cause of Wang Bao's death!

Is one of the murderers really Wang Haiyang?

After all, Wang Haiyang is also a regular customer of Lao Wu, and Lao Wu is a master of playing with fire in Duwang Town. Although he has not joined the Duwang Town Protection Association, he should have taught Wang Haiyang some skills in using fire spells. Therefore, Lao Wu should be able to judge from Wang Bao's injuries that the murderer was Wang Haiyang.

Now the suspicion on Wang Haiyang is getting heavier and heavier.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at everyone present and said: "I now have a very bold guess about the identity of the arsonist, but I can't guarantee the accuracy of this guess. Do you want to hear it?"

As a result, as soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Li Hanxing and the three of them all said three words in unison, "Wang Haiyang?"
