Ren Yi thought for a moment that Gong Yingxian was scolding him, and was stunned for a moment.

Gong Yingxian said: "The remaining things on the ground should be garbage."

"Oh, yes." Ren Yi kicked it with his foot. Although most of them had been burnt beyond recognition, he could still tell that they were indeed rubbish.

"The dark traces on the floor tiles are indeed free carbon from the decomposition of heavy components when the liquid is burned, but gasoline, are you sure?" Gong Yingxian wrinkled his nose and smelled it. The burning here is too violent, and the The burnt smell makes it hard to tell if it's really gasoline.

"If gasoline is only used as a small amount of combustion aid, the smell will not be obvious enough. I was still some distance away from here, because the center of the fire was too hot, and we couldn't get through. I'm not sure." Ren Yi exclaimed, "Zhang Wen, what equipment do you bring?"

Zhang Wen opened the toolbox: "Team Ren, I only brought a hydrocarbon detector, but I can't detect the species. I have to bring the samples back to the laboratory."

"Come on." Ren Yi broke off a broken floor tile from the ground and turned it over. Because the liquid is permeable, it will flow into the floor and under the tile, leaving obvious marks, while volatile liquids will not, such as Alcohol, ether, etc. That's why they didn't find the real cause of the fire in the 4th perspective at first.

Gong Yingxian said: "Zhang Wen, did you take pictures in the room?"

"not yet."

"Hurry up and take a picture, we're going in to have a look."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Wen took the camera to shoot the scene again.

Gong Yingxian walked towards the nearby residents, and Ren Yi followed.

"2209 is the one closest to the elevator entrance on the west side. It is next to the elevator pipe, and there is a ventilation window at the other end of the corridor. If you set a fire here, the fire will search for oxygen from two directions, and it will spread very quickly." Ren Yi Shaking his head, "The result was too tragic."

"The two households closest to the stairs on the west side have escaped. The male owner of 2209 died. Could it be an arson against 2209..." Gong Yingxian murmured.

The two walked around in a circle, and could only judge the path of the fire based on the burning traces, but did not find anything suspicious for the time being. At this time, Zhang Wen also finished filming, and the two entered 2209 together.

The door of 2209 has been burnt down. According to visual inspection, more than 70% of the burned area of the entire three-bedroom and two-living room is over 70%. The burning is horrible.

Gong Yingxian took a deep breath, clenched his hands hidden in his trouser pockets tightly into fists, and then loosened them, repeating this many times to adjust his emotions.

Ren Yi said: "Are you okay?"

Gong Yingxian nodded.

The two watched the fire scene carefully.

"This is the place of death. The male owner once tried to escape through the living room, but the fire was just outside the door. He was trapped and finally fell here because of inhaling poisonous gas." Ren Yi looked at the traces and fixed lines drawn on the ground, and moved towards the dead man. Looking forward, this place is only twenty steps away from the door, but even if he can pass, it is impossible to open the door.

Gong Yingxian investigated the traces of the deceased's actions before his death. He carefully looked at every window and door in every room. Except for some traces of self-help, there seemed to be nothing suspicious. He asked: "Is there any obvious evidence?" How about the traces of intrusion and struggle, autopsy and autopsy? Did it come out?"

Zhang Wendao: "I'll call now to ask."

Ren Yi's investigation focused on the direction of the fire spread and the burning traces of the circuit. If the path of the fire conforms to the normal pattern, it can at least prove that the indoor fire has not been assisted. In addition, the electrical circuit fire currently accounts for the largest proportion of all fire causes, so this is also a part that must be checked, although they have determined the cause of the fire 90% of the time. , just outside the door, but just in case, just to rule out all possibilities.

Zhang Wen came back after making the phone call: "Captain Ren, Dr. Gong, the cause of death was smoke poisoning. There was no trauma, no alcohol or drugs in the body, and he died before being burned."

"Xiao Zhang, come with me to check all the traces of burning electrical circuits in the whole house."

"yes."

The two checked the circuit again, and there was no trace of a circuit fire.

Ren Yi came out of the bedroom and saw that Gong Yingxian was still squatting on the ground looking at something, he said: "At present, all the evidence points to the fire point and the cause of the fire is that the garbage outside the door was ignited, and the traces of fire spread are logical."

Gong Yingxian gave a low "hmm".

Ren Yi felt that something was wrong with him, so he walked over and squatted beside him: "Hey, you..."

Gong Yingxian's face was pale, his breathing was short of breath, cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and his eyes were a little straight.

Ren Yi said helplessly: "Why do you embarrass yourself so much, I will help you out to get some air."

Gong Yingxian shook her head: "I want to adapt, this is also a kind of treatment."

"How to adapt? Just force yourself like this?" Gong Yingxian's performance is severe post-traumatic stress disorder, such "treatment" is likely to be counterproductive.

"Yes, this is..." Gong Yingxian tremblingly said, "The best way."

Ren Yi looked at him, feeling a little worried: "Have you seen a psychiatrist, why do you force yourself so much?"

Gong Yingxian looked up at Ren Yi: "If I can't even overcome this, how can I be a police officer, how can I catch an arsonist?"

Ren Yi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Gong Yingxian worked hard to adjust her breathing, then stood up: "It's okay."

"Why don't you come here first today, some of the evidence we extracted also needs Xiao Zhang to return to the laboratory for analysis, and you also need time to investigate the social relations of the residents, if necessary, we will come back tomorrow."

Gong Yingxian thought for a while and nodded.

After going downstairs, Zhang Wen left first, and Ren Yi saw that Gong Yingxian's face was slightly bloody: "Are you okay, can you drive?"

"It's okay." Gong Yingxian glanced at Ren Yi, "Unless you really want to drive for me."

Ren Yi sneered: "You really make me addicted, okay, I really want to drive for you now, where do you want to go?"

Gong Yingxian tugged at his cuffs, and looked down at his watch: "Just now my colleague sent me a message that Cai Wan's brother has been arrested and just sent to the branch office. Do you want to go and have a look together?"

"Of course, I'd love to try him myself."

"Let's go."

The two walked to the side of the car, Ren Yi stretched out his hand consciously: "Come on."

Gong Yingxian opened the trunk first, took out his incubator from inside, and then threw the key to Ren Yi.

"Why, you want to treat me to dinner in the car again?"

"I want to eat myself."

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"Busy in the morning." Gong Yingxian opened the door of the second row on the left.

"Well, no." Ren Yi pushed the car door shut, "If you want me to drive for you, just sit in the co-pilot."

"why?"

"Because I don't want to look at you in the rearview mirror while we're chatting, it's not safe."

Gong Yingxian frowned: "Why do you look at me from the rearview mirror, just talk and talk, what do you see me doing?"

"..." Ren Yi rolled his eyes, "Normal humans make eye contact when chatting, it's a habit, and it's uncontrollable."

Gong Yingxian thought for a while: "Okay, it makes sense." He walked around to the co-pilot.

Ren Yi whispered: "Sometimes looking at your face can remind myself not to do anything."

"Do it? What hand?"

"… nothing."

After getting into the car, Gong Yingxian spread the tablecloth on her lap, carefully took out the lunch box, and ate slowly.

Ren Yi glanced sideways at what he was eating, it was almost unappetizing.

"I know what you're thinking." Gong Yingxian snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know if you criticize my eating habits in your heart."

"You criticize me too, let's get even."

"It's a good thing we don't have to eat together."

Ren Yi said with a tone of hatred for iron and steel: "Do you know how many delicacies you have missed, hot pot, barbecue, steamed buns, all of which are piping hot, even if you don't eat these, Chinese food is mainly hot dishes, you just Aren't you curious, don't you want to try it?"

Gong Yingxian shook her head: "No, I hate things with high temperature."

"How high is high temperature?"

"Exceeding human body temperature."

Ren Yi looked at him in disbelief: "Then you also hate people?"

"Except for unnecessary physical contact with me."

"... No, you mean that you never make unnecessary physical contact with humans?"

"Ok."

"Then what is necessary and what is unnecessary?"

"Most of them are unnecessary, such as shaking hands." Gong Yingxian looked at his gloved hands, "But for work, I can only try to integrate into social customs."

Ren Yi swallowed, and his heart was full of curiosity: "Then...well, have you ever been in a relationship?" After asking, his heart suddenly beat a few times.

Gong Yingxian squinted at Ren Yi.

"When you're in love, you have to...you know."

Gong Yingxian said without changing his face: "The most intimate physical contact, body and fluid exchange, organ friction, do you want to talk about these?"

Ren Yi's complexion was brilliant, but he hesitated for a while and couldn't answer.

"No, why should I have the closest physical contact with a person, the exchange of body and fluid, life..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Ren Yi's mouth twitched in embarrassment. In order to ease the atmosphere, he moved his eyes down, glanced at the important part of Gong Yingxian, and teased: "Dr. Gong, are you... um?"

Gong Yingxian glanced at him, then glared at him: "Are you implying that I have a male reproductive disorder?"

Ren Yi suddenly felt his face tense, he really suspected that he was a bitch, why did he ask for trouble, if embarrassment could kill, he would have lost his temper. He's not a thin-skinned person, and he doesn't have any psychological burden when he speaks Huang and Harmony, but this kind of thing has to go back and forth. He threw a ping-pong ball, and Gong Yingxian returned him a bowling ball, which is too much .

"My physical indicators are very healthy." Gong Yingxian said, "I don't use it, but it doesn't mean it's not easy to use. If you think you can question my sexual harmony function without sexual harmony, then I can question yours too. He also deliberately glanced at Ren Yi's place, and let out a mocking laugh.

Ren Yi narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"I mean what you mean."

"I, I'm also very useful, okay?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Your has nothing to do with me!"

"Then why do you ask, are you full?"

Ren Yi was speechless.

Gong Yingxian showed a smug smile, and put away the lunch box.

Ren Yi didn't speak anymore, he was afraid that he would give someone's head with his mouth again.

But after a while, Gong Yingxian suddenly said: "You are very curious."

"Ah... maybe."

"Anywhere in your opinion I am different from ordinary people, you like to ask or question."

"Have it."

"Yes, you are very curious about me."

Ren Yi suddenly felt a little guilty: "I declare first, I am curious about you for nothing else, just..."

"However, you never asked me why I hate fire, hospitals, and hot things." Gong Yingxian slightly tilted his head, his eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through everything.

Ren Yi was silent.

"You already know." Gong Yingxian said calmly, "You got it from others?"

"I, I didn't inquire, I didn't inquire too much..."

"It doesn't matter. I didn't deliberately hide it. You asked me why I became a police officer. It was indeed my childhood experience that made me decide to become a police officer." Gong Yingxian said, "However, I don't like to talk about it with anyone. You Although the curiosity is very strong, but it has not been mentioned, it is very good."

Ren Yi sighed secretly in his heart: "Everyone has stories that they don't want to tell. Between friends, there is still a standard for this."

Gong Yingxian was startled for a moment, and he said cautiously: "Are we friends?"

Ren Yi was also stunned: "Uh, yes, we meet every now and then." At the end of his speech, his tone became less and less confident.

Gong Yingxian stared straight ahead and fell silent.

Ren Yi felt uneasy. He hadn't felt this kind of shyness like a teenager for a long time. He took a deep breath: "Aren't you willing to be friends with me? I think your housekeeper and your sister are very supportive. .”

Gong Yingxian shrugged, turned his face to look out of the window, and pretended to be casual and said: "Okay, then let's be friends."

Ren Yi stole a glance at Gong Yingxian, and suddenly wanted to laugh, and a smile actually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
