The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 116: Arson

Views:

Jian Jing ate some hot noodle soup at Ji's house and drank a can of ice cola to revive her depressed spirit.

Ji Feng's little sister went to sleep and take a rest, so he said he would send her off.

After getting in the car, Jian Jing finally found someone to talk about: "What about the arson case?"

Ji Feng pondered and said, "Yunyun is right. You have escaped death today, so you should have a good rest. You can look for the news about the cases tomorrow. It's a waste of time now."

After thinking for a while, he said, "I have to take Yunyun to the hospital tomorrow. You have been in the fire for a long time and have inhaled poisonous smoke to some extent. It is better to get a check-up. Since your car is burned, I will take you with me?"

Jian Jing was very surprised: "Did you take the wrong medicine? You are so considerate."

"Tsk, I'm not a machine, I still have some human care," Ji Feng glanced at her and said, "I was just in a spur of the moment. If it were you, wouldn't you be curious?"

Jian Jing chuckled: "At least I won't keep you in suspense."

Ji Feng choked for a long time and said, "Teacher Jian, you are not cute anymore."

"It's you who thinks, not me," she said.

Monsoon: “…”

When it comes to bickering, there is always someone better than you.

He knew he couldn't beat her, so he cut his losses in time: "Is the hospital okay?"

Jian Jing shook her head. She had a character panel. If she was poisoned, the status bar would definitely show it. Now it didn't, which proved that she should be fine.

"I want to have a good rest for a day." She didn't follow up on the case. It's better not to do any mental work when you're not energetic.

Ji Feng didn't force it: "That's fine, call me if you need help."

"If I call you, will you be free?" Jian Jing laughed, "Yunyun called you before, but the call never went through."

Ji Feng touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "It's out of battery, no time to charge it."

“So I get it,” she said.

Ji Feng's family knew their own affairs, so they didn't force her. After sending her home, they didn't forget to remind her: "If you have any ideas after reading the case, remember to find me."

Jian Jing said: "There is a fee for consultation."

"Haha." He laughed and rummaged around in the car for a long time before finding an unopened box of chocolates. "Prepaid consulting fee."

The box was a macaron color, very pretty, and the bow had a faint scent of perfume. She took it and weighed it, her face full of suspicion: "Which girl gave this to you?"

"I am still very popular." Ji Feng did not deny it and said straightforwardly, "Make the best use of it."

Jian Jing: “…” He probably won’t have the chance to be single in this life.

But the money has to be collected, the work cannot be done in vain.

"Okay." She put her hands in her pockets. "Thank you for bringing me here. Go away."

Ji Feng laughed so hard, waved his hand, and turned around to go home.

Jian Jing went upstairs with the chocolates in her arms. She carefully checked the fire-fighting equipment in the house, making sure that they were all in the most easily accessible places. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the water to take a shower.

The time we spent at the fire scene was actually less than half an hour, but every second was filled with great psychological pressure, and the mental and physical exhaustion was incalculable.

She immersed herself in the hot water, relaxed, and fell asleep immediately.

Fortunately, there was a pudding at home, who came in cleverly and woke her up with a slap, thus preventing her from catching a cold.

"Thank you, Pudding." She buried her head in the orange cat's belly and sniffed, then picked up its plump body and stuffed it directly into the nest.

Pudding's resistance was futile and he was forced to surrender.

This is the sad fate that every kitten cannot avoid.

Jian Jing slept well and regained most of her energy. After a quick breakfast, she rummaged through boxes and cabinets, looking for the insurance contract in the safe, ready to ask someone to claim compensation.

She doesn't have to worry too much about this kind of thing, because she has a familiar female lawyer who can take care of all the miscellaneous tasks.

But while searching, Jian Jing found a strange file.

It was a high-end document bag made of pure white kraft paper with a gold-stamped logo called "Saint Angel". When I opened it, I saw there was only a greeting card inside.

The greeting card is very similar to the birthday cards we received when we were children. When it is opened, a three-dimensional image will appear. It is an angel girl with wings, very beautiful.

The paper girl is holding a book in her arms. The book is three-dimensional and can be opened.

There is a chip inside.

What is this? An invitation

Jian Jing searched her memory carefully, but the "memories" left by her other self were very vague. She only remembered some people and some major events, with almost no details.

She didn't remember it at all.

When she was born, she looked through the family documents and had an idea of her basic information and assets, but she didn't pay attention to this.

what

Jian Jing picked up the chip and looked at it for a long time, then tried to open it with a USB reader.

A file popped up on the computer screen with a letter + number number, but it required the account number and password to be entered.

She: “…” Tsk.

"Jane Jing" has many more secrets than she thought.

Jian Jing's gaze fell on Pudding who was dozing on the bookshelf.

"Pudding and Gem", Jiang Baiyan; Kang Mucheng, Blood Rose, Scar Man; Saint Angel.

interesting.

"Pudding, why are you called Pudding?" She scratched the cat's chin and talked to herself.

Pudding meowed and squinted his eyes comfortably.

Jian Jing smiled and didn't worry about it anymore.

There is always a moment when the mystery is solved. Now, let’s go and buy a car.

These days, it’s really hard to get around without a car.

At the 4S store, under the hospitality of enthusiastic young men and women, you can tell them your requirements, and they will recommend several models that meet your requirements based on performance, price, brand, comfort and safety.

Jian Jing didn't know much about cars, and she didn't plan to study it herself.

It's almost good enough. What if it burns/crashes/is scrapped again

It’s not Dr. Agasa’s car.

Finally, the young ladies recommended the BMW x5.

‌‌Very emotional: "In the past, men would sarcastically say that girls would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle. But now, girls buy their own BMWs."

Jian Jing: Precision marketing, talent.

She was very pleased and signed for it.

However, Kang Mucheng later asked her why she picked such a big car instead of a smaller one, but she said, "If we are going to get hit, a big car will give me a sense of security."

The cars that the young man recommends to girls are all small cars, even mini models.

Are you kidding me? If two cars collide, won’t it flip over if it’s so small

A little older will give you a sense of security.

After buying the car, Jian Jing's travel became much more convenient.

She went to the hair salon again.

The familiar teacher Tony came over with a smile on his face: "Teacher Jian, are you here for maintenance again? Oh, what's wrong with your hair?"

The hair burned by the fire was dry and burnt, a horrible sight.

Jian Jing sighed and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. Please deal with it for me."

Teacher Tony perked up: "No problem, leave it to me."

Washing, trimming, perming, dyeing and maintenance.

It would take at least eight hours to complete the whole process.

It's a good opportunity to see what the arson case is all about.

As Monsoon said, several fires were reported in newspapers with detailed coverage.

Scene 1: One night, electrical appliances in a dormitory of a certain school were used improperly and a dormitory was burned. The only student who was using the illegal appliance at the time was sent to the hospital with burns.

Scene 2: One evening, a fire broke out in a rented house of a certain person. An accident occurred while charging a battery-powered vehicle, and the fire spontaneously ignited. The person was not at home, and no one was injured or killed.

Scene 3: One night, someone set off fireworks in the park, which ignited the decoration materials and caused a fire, but there were no casualties.

Scene 4: One afternoon, a chemical company suffered a material leak, explosion and fire, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

Scene 5: In the early morning of a certain day, the hotel’s electrical circuit was aging and accidentally caught fire, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

Scene 6: Late one night, a fire broke out in the kindergarten, burning down an entire school building, but no one was injured or killed.

Jian Jing immediately sorted out the abnormal events that Ji Feng mentioned.

Parks and kindergartens.

The other four cases all had clear causes of the accidents. Although the consequences were different, they were all relatively common cases.

Only the ones in the park and kindergarten are a bit strange.

Needless to say, there was no one in the kindergarten at midnight.

This park is also very strange.

Heping City does not allow fireworks to be set off unless there is an approved activity. Who would go to the park to set off fireworks in the middle of the night? Even if young people are smart and pursue romance, they should choose a place with beautiful scenery.

However, the fire started in the renovated playground of the park, which was full of decoration materials and was dirty and messy.

Who is setting off fireworks in the street

Together with the shopping mall fire that she personally experienced yesterday, these three cases have two special features.

First, they are all public places, and second, they are all late at night.

Except for entertainment places like bars and KTVs, there is no one in public places at night. They met yesterday, and I don’t know whether it was intentional or coincidence.

Jian Jing was very interested and sent a WeChat message to Ji Feng: [This case is a bit difficult to investigate]

Monsoon: [What do you think?]

Jian Jing replied: [There are two possibilities]

[When several fires occurred, they were all late at night and in public buildings, where there were generally few people. If it was really arson, he or she probably didn't want to cause too many casualties, but simply liked fire.]

There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and playing with fire is not uncommon in criminal psychology. Among them, there is a type of people who set fires without any deep hatred, but simply like to watch the fire start.

Considering that there were no "fearless" fire-fighting heroes at the scene, we can basically rule out the possibility that they wanted to increase their presence and seek self-satisfaction by setting fires and then putting them out.

—This type of people are usually excluded from the group, behave strangely, and crave recognition.

[But they are all public buildings, and it may also be a way of expressing his dissatisfaction]

Arson is extremely harmful and has been analyzed many times by criminologists. It can be divided into four categories:

1. Instrumentality directed toward someone; 2. Instrumentality directed toward something; 3. Expressiveness directed toward someone; 4. Expressiveness directed toward something.

The so-called instrumental arson means using fire as a means to achieve a goal. There is nothing special about fire itself; it is just the method chosen.

To point to someone, it means to retaliate or arouse someone's anger, especially some authority figures. If someone has a building named after him, his opponents may burn down the building to express their anger.

Similarly, if you hate teachers, you might burn down schools; if you hate doctors, you might burn down hospitals.

Pointing to something is even simpler, four words: destruction, corpse, extinction, and trace.

Expressive arson, however, is more complex than instrumental arson.

Expressive arson directed at someone is mostly committed by people with mental disorders. They try to attract some people's attention in this way, which is an alternative cry for help.

The expressiveness pointing to something is what Jian Jing mentioned above, which is to love playing with fire and enjoying the feeling of the burning flames.

Because of the locations of parks, kindergartens and shopping malls, the possibility of destroying the body and calling for help can be eliminated.

The remaining two options are both possible.

Either they are perverts who enjoy playing with fire, or they are expressing some emotion by setting fire.
