This is the first time Ren Yi was forced to recall the scene since Sun Dingyi left. He tried his best to restrain his sadness, and always took Gong Yingxian's reminder - don't let Fang Zhixu control his emotions - in his heart and erased it. Calmly described the incident in many details.
Fang Zhixu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he kept asking for details, but Ren Yi scolded him back.
After Ren Yi finished speaking, Fang Zhixu continued to say: "This is a standard hero ending, you know, it's better than I imagined, but unfortunately I didn't pay special attention to Platoon Leader Sun before."
Ren Yi glared at him: "Give me what you found in Wenhui Mall."
Fang Zhixu still said to himself: "Platoon Leader Sun is so difficult to surpass. The scene of fire, children, ropes, and sacrifices, every element is as touching as a blockbuster movie." He said excitedly, "Anyone Captain, how can you have a more beautiful ending than him?"
Ren Yi held back his anger, gritted his teeth and said, "Here, me."
A cunning flashed in Fang Zhixu's eyes: "Do you have a recording?"
Ren Yi was taken aback for a moment: "No."
"Take off your coat, take out your pocket, and give me your phone," Fang Zhixu said.
Ren Yi took a deep breath, took off his coat, ran through all the pockets all over his body, and finally threw the phone to Fang Zhixu, he urged: "Hurry up and give it to me."
"But, I've already thrown it away."
Ren Yi dropped his fist on the back of the sofa chair, so angry that he wanted to strangle the bastard to death: "How dare you fuck me?"
"I never said I would give it to you, I just said, I will tell you what it is." Fang Zhixu spread his hands, "I will keep my promise."
Ren Yi glared at him fiercely.
"Actually, I can't tell what it is. It's a self-made timing device. Probably..." Fang Zhixu gestured, "It's so big."
"... the size of a switch socket?"
"Yeah, about the same, maybe a little bigger."
Ren Yi remembered the imprint he found under the pile of ashes of the fabric, and sure enough, important evidence was taken away, and it was taken away by the person in front of him. However, although such important evidence is buried under waste cloth and ashes, it is really difficult to find it, but he found it. Why didn't the police find it? This is too inexperienced, so that after a few days, they can still Picked up by Fang Zhixu? Or, it was really washed away by the water gun, so there are only traces but no real objects? How did Fang Zhixu find it in the ruins? No, it can't be a coincidence. He frowned and said, "How do you know that something like this is there?"
Fang Zhixu said indifferently: "You should know Seraph."
"You go to Seraphim." Ren Yi was not surprised, "How dare you tell me."
"It's not illegal to go on the dark web." Fang Zhixu observed Ren Yi's reaction without blinking, "Whether you tell the police or tell my parents, I don't care."
"How did you get this information on Seraph, and why did you go to the scene to find it?"
"I was in a group before. Someone knew that I was in this city. He found me alone and said that he would give me a sum of money to find something and dispose of it. I didn't want the money. I always I really want to see it, after all, it is a place you will never forget, and it also has a special meaning to me."
"Did he tell you when the surrounding police force would withdraw?"
Fang Zhixu shook his head: "I didn't mention any police force, he told me the time and I went."
"So how did you find that thing? Is it still in place?"
"The original place?" Fang Zhixu thought for a while, "I don't know where the original place is, I dug it out from the trash, it's metal, a little deformed but not burned."
"Where did you throw it?"
"By the road." Fang Zhixu said with a smile.
Ren Yi knew that Fang Zhixu was lying. It was impossible for Fang Zhixu to tell him where such a thing was now, but he still asked: "Where is the side of the road, where is the side of the road."
"It's just any roadside."
"I want the exact location."
Fang Zhixu thought for a while: "It's probably in the trash can in front of the flower shop at the second intersection of Anfang Street on my way home."
"Did you take any pictures, what are the features on that thing?"
"No, it's all burnt like that, I really can't see anything, um, it's metallic, it stinks."
"Then how do you know it's a timing device?"
"I guessed it from the man's words."
"So everything is just your guess." Ren Yi said disdainfully, "Your words really don't have much credibility, you just want to pretend."
Fang Zhixu said angrily: "What you said is true, believe it or not, I just want to tell you that I didn't go there to be bored, I wasn't stupid, and it wasn't for money. I just, just wanted to participate , I just want to get closer to you."
Ren Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the childish young man in front of him: "Don't you ever feel that there is anything wrong with you? Don't you feel that your mental state is abnormal?"
"So what, there are a few normal people in this world, but most of them can pretend, and I don't want to pretend." Fang Zhixu's eyes were extremely bright, "You are different from everyone else, you are fighting Warriors of fire, don't become those mortals."
"I am a mortal, this is just my job." Fang Zhixu's gaze made Ren Yi extremely uncomfortable, "You should see a doctor, you will ruin yourself sooner or later."
Fang Zhixu said seriously: "I will always pay attention to you."
"The police will also pay attention to you. You can already take criminal responsibility. I advise you not to do irreparable things."
"I know, I'm not that stupid." Fang Zhixu said with a smile, "I just want to do something meaningful."
After Fang Zhixu left, Ren Yi took out a recorder from under the coffee table, which Gong Yingxian asked him to prepare. He called Gong Yingxian, assuming what Fang Zhixu said was true, the chances of them finding that thing would be infinitely close to zero, because he could tell that Fang Zhixu had concealed a lot.
After finishing speaking, Gong Yingxian was silent for a long time, Ren Yi thought the connection was disconnected, and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Gong Yingxian suddenly said sullenly, "You haven't called me for a long time."
"... Talk about business." The aggrieved tone made Ren Yi feel very uncomfortable.
"I heard that what he said was half-truth and half-false. He certainly wouldn't say anything against him. He probably obscured or concealed a lot of information, but it seems that there is indeed one important thing in that trace, otherwise no one would risk going back. Just to destroy the evidence."
"If it's really a timing device, it would explain why neither surveillance nor witnesses saw anyone suspicious in the period leading up to the fire."
Gong Yingxian let out a "hmm", "The time of the fire was close to 8 o'clock, and Wenhui Shopping Center got off work at 6:30, if it was mixed in during the time period from 6:30 to 7:00, it was the rush hour for get off work, and there were a lot of people People come in and out, and the investigation is too difficult."
Ren Yi said in a deep voice: "Especially the on-site monitoring has been destroyed."
"Yes, most of it was destroyed. We have compared some of the videos we have kept with all registered employees in the mall, and found no abnormalities. In addition, the mall has long-term floating population, new employees, customers, part-time workers, Those who deliver goods, those who clean up garbage, takeaways, couriers, salesmen... a mixed bag. Sky Eye won't be of much use this time."
"Then even if we find the timing device, we won't be able to find the arsonist?"
"Give me the recording first, and I'll analyze it." Gong Yingxian asked, "Is the timer ignition device feasible?"
"It's not difficult. A person who understands the principle of combustion can make it in many ways. For example, in Hongwu Hospital, the chemical reaction time difference is used as a delay device. In this incident, as long as one is preset, it will take one or two hours to catch fire. In fact, the simplest device, the lead core, is a timing device, and with the fire and subsequent rescue and destruction, many evidences have disappeared, and it is difficult to find on-site investigation.”
"But you still found it. Why didn't other people question this trace? Didn't they find it?"
"I don't think it's possible. Whether it's the fire investigation department or the police, they are very careful when investigating the scene, and there are professional instruments, unless it is artificially covered up." Ren Yi said in a deep voice, "The night Fang Zhixu went , it happened to be the day when the police force was transferred away, just combining these two points is enough to suspect that there is an insider in the police."
"Well, we didn't take it lightly. The new clues we have learned now have not been shared with the large group for the time being."
"Fang Zhixu, what are you going to do?"
"He will be a useful chess piece." Gong Yingxian said, "I will go to your squadron to get the recording now."
"You don't have to live..."
"I have one more thing I want to give you, wait for me." After finishing speaking, Gong Yingxian hung up the phone, not giving Ren Yi a chance to refuse.
Ren Yi sighed, every time he saw Gong Yingxian, it was a test for him.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, but Ren Yi said without raising his head, "Come in."
The door of the reception room was pushed open, Ren Yi turned his head to look, startled for a moment.
Yan Jue
Yan Jue waved his hand casually: "Hi."
"You, why are you here?"
"The leader of your detachment asked me to talk to me about Platoon Leader Sun."
Ren Yi nodded, not surprised. It is a very serious matter for a commander or soldier to die. It is necessary to investigate and collect evidence from all the personnel present, clarify the responsibilities, and judge whether there is negligence or mistake.
However, seeing Yan Jue at this time, Ren Yi felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Ren Yi was silent, Yan Jue smiled: "Aren't you going to ask me what I said?"
Ren Yi shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of taking responsibility." Maybe if he was punished, he would feel better.
"Don't worry, it's not aimed at you." Yan Jue leaned against the door, "After I finished my work, I suddenly missed the potato stewed duck made by your cook, so I came here."
Ren Yi forced a smile: "I don't know if there is any duck meat today, I have to ask."
Yan Jue looked at Ren Yi for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "You won't be afraid of me, will you?"
