Blazing Armour - Chapter 132
This is the first time since Sun defining left, Ren Yu was forced to recall the scene at that time. He tried his best to restrain his sadness, always kept Gong Yingxian’s reminder – not to be controlled by Fang Zhixu – in mind, erased many details, and calmly described the event.
Fang Zhixu’s eyes lit up and kept asking for details. He was scolded back by Ren Yu.
When Ren Ying finished, Fang Zhixu said, “this is a standard heroic ending. You know, it’s better than I thought. Unfortunately, I haven’t paid special attention to platoon leader Sun before.”
Ren Yu stared at him: “give me what you found in Wenhui mall.”
Fang Zhixu still said to himself: “platoon leader Sun is so difficult to surpass. Every element of the fire, children, rope and sacrifice moves people like a movie blockbuster.” He said excitedly, “Captain Ren, how can you have a more beautiful ending than him?”
Ren Ying held back his anger and said gnashing his teeth, “here, I am.”
Fang Zhixu’s eyes flashed a cunning: “do you have a recording?”
Ren Yu was stunned: “No.”
“Take off your coat, take out your pocket and give me your cell phone.” Fang Zhixu road.
Ren Yu took a deep breath and took off his coat. He went through all his pockets. Finally, he threw his mobile phone to Fang Zhixu. He urged, “give it to me quickly.”
“But I’ve thrown it away.”
Ren Yu hung his fist on the back of the sofa and was so angry that he wanted to strangle the bastard: “how dare you fucking fool me?”
“I never said I would give it to you. I just said, I’ll tell you what it is.” Fang Zhixu spread his hand, “I will keep my promise.”
Ren Yu glared at him fiercely.
“In fact, I don’t know what it is. It’s a self-made timing device. Maybe…” Fang Zhixu said, “it’s so big.”
“… the size of a switch socket?”
“Yes, almost. Maybe a little bigger.”
Ren Yu thought of the mark he found under the pile of cloth ashes. Sure enough, important evidence was taken away, and it was taken away by the man in front of him. However, although such important evidence was buried under waste cloth and ashes, it was really difficult to find, but he found it all. Why didn’t the police find it? It was so inexperienced that Fang Zhixu could pick it up a few days later? Or was it really washed away by a water gun, so there were only traces and no real objects? How did Fang Zhixu find it in the ruins? No, it can’t be a coincidence. He frowned and said, “how did you know such a thing was on the scene?”
Fang Zhixu said carelessly, “you should know the blazing angel.”
“You go up to the blazing angel.” Ren Yu was not surprised. “How dare you tell me.”
“It’s not illegal to go on a dark net.” Fang Zhixu observed Ren Yu’s reaction without blinking. “Whether you tell the police or my parents, I don’t care.”
“How did you get this information from the blazing angel, and why did you go to the scene?”
“I went to a group. A man didn’t know how to know I was in this city. He found me alone and told me to find something and dispose of it. I didn’t want the money. I’ve always wanted to see it. After all, it’s a place you’ll never forget and has special significance for me.”
“Did he tell you when the surrounding police forces will evacuate?”
Fang Zhixu shook his head: “I didn’t mention any police force. He told me the time and I went.”
“How did you find that thing? Is it still in place?”
“In situ?” Fang Zhixu thought, “I don’t know where the original position is. I turned it out in the garbage. It’s metal, a little deformed, but it didn’t burn.”
“Where did you throw it?”
“Roadside.” Fang Zhixu said with a smile.
Ren Yu knew that Fang Zhixu was lying. It was impossible for Fang Zhixu to tell him where such things were now, but he still asked, “where is the roadside, where is the roadside.”
“It’s just any roadside.”
“I want a specific location.”
Fang Zhixu thought, “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 pictures? What are the characteristics of such things?”
“No, it’s all burned like that. I really can’t see anything. Well, it’s metal. It’s very smelly.”
“Then why do you know it’s a timing device?”
“I guessed it from the man’s words.”
“So everything is just your guess.” Ren Yi disdained, “your words really don’t have much credibility. You just want to pretend to be forced.”
Fang Zhixu said angrily, “what you said is true. Do you believe it or not? I just want to tell you that I didn’t go there because I was bored, mentally disabled or for money. I just wanted to participate and get closer to you.”
Ren Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the childish teenager in front of him: “don’t you ever think there’s anything wrong with yourself? Don’t you think your mental state is abnormal?”
“So what? There are several normal people in the world, but most of them will disguise, and I don’t want to disguise.” Fang Zhixu’s eyes are very bright, “you are different from everyone. You are a warrior against fire. Don’t become those mortals.”
“I’m human. It’s just my job.” Fang Zhixu’s eyes made Ren Yu extremely uncomfortable. “You should see a doctor. You will destroy 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 bear criminal responsibility. I advise you not to do irreparable things.”
“I see. I’m not that stupid.” Fang Zhixu smiled and said, “I just want to do something meaningful.”
After Fang Zhixu left, Ren Yu found a recorder under the tea table, which Gong Yingxian asked him to prepare. He called Gong Yingxian. Assuming that what Fang Zhixu said was true, the probability that they could find something like that was infinitely close to zero, because he could see that Fang Zhixu hid a lot.
After that, Gong Yingxian was silent for a long time. Ren Yi thought the line was broken and asked, “did you hear me?”
Gong Yingxian suddenly said, “you haven’t called me for a long time.”
“… get down to business.” That aggrieved tone heard Ren Yu’s heart was very bad.
“Yes, what he said is half true and half false. He certainly won’t say it’s bad for himself. He’s estimated to be vague or hide a lot of information, but it seems that the trace really has an important thing, otherwise no one will risk going back to destroy the evidence.”
“If it is really a timing device, it can explain why surveillance and witnesses did not find any suspicious people in the period before the fire.”
Gong Yingxian said, “well,” the time of the fire is close to 8 o’clock, and Wenhui mall gets off work at 6:30. If it’s mixed in between 6:30 and 7 o’clock, it’s the rush hour, and there are a lot of people in and out, so it’s too difficult to investigate. ”
Ren Yu said in a deep voice, “especially the on-site monitoring has been destroyed.”
“Yes, it has destroyed most of the videos. We have compared some of the videos with all the registered employees in the shopping mall before, and found no difference. In addition, the shopping mall has a long-term access to the floating population, new employees, customers, hourly workers, delivery, garbage cleaning, takeout, express delivery, marketing… A mixture of fish and dragons. Tianyan can’t be of much use this time.”
“Even if we find the timing device, we can’t find the arsonist?”
“Give me the recording first and I’ll analyze it.” Gong Yingxian asked, “is it feasible to have a regular fire device?”
“It’s not difficult. A person who knows the principle of combustion can do it in many ways. For example, in Hongwu hospital, the chemical reaction time difference is used as a delay device. In this event, it’s only necessary to preset a device that takes one or two hours to catch fire. In fact, the simplest core is a timing device, which is destroyed with the fire and subsequent rescue , a lot of evidence has disappeared, and it is difficult to find it in the field investigation. ”
“But you still found it. Why didn’t others question this trace? Didn’t you find it?”
“I don’t think it’s possible. Both the fire control department and the police are very careful in on-site exploration, and there are professional instruments, unless they are artificially covered up.” Ren Yu said in a deep voice, “the night Fang Zhixu went, it happened to be the day when the police transferred away. Just combining these two points, it is enough to suspect that there are ghosts in the police.”
“Well, we haven’t taken it lightly. The new clues we have learned are no longer shared in the group for the time being.”
“Fang Zhixu, what are you going to do?”
“He will be a useful chess.” Gong Yingxian said, “I’ll go to your squadron to get the recording now.”
“You don’t have to…”
“I have something else to give you. Wait for me.” Gong Yingxian then hung up the phone and didn’t give Ren Yi a chance to refuse.
Ren Yi sighed. Every time he saw Gong Yingxian, it was a test for him.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ren Yi said without raising his head, “come in.”
The door of the reception room was pushed open. Ren Yu turned his head and was stunned.
Yan Jue?
Yan Jue waved casually, “Hi.”
“You, how did you come here?”
“The leader of your detachment came to talk to me about platoon leader Sun.”
Ren Yu nodded. It was not surprising that the sacrifice of commanders and fighters was very serious. All personnel on the scene must be investigated and collected evidence, clarify their responsibilities, and judge whether there were dereliction of duty or mistakes.
However, seeing Yan Jue at this time, Ren Yu felt a little embarrassed.
Yan Jue saw that Ren Yu didn’t speak and smiled: “don’t you ask me what I’m talking about?”
Ren Yi shook his head: “it doesn’t matter. I’m not afraid to take responsibility.” Maybe if he was punished, he would feel better.
“Don’t worry, it’s not for you.” Yan Jue leaned against the door. “After I finished, I suddenly missed the stewed duck with potatoes made by your cook, so I came here.”
Ren Yi reluctantly smiled: “I don’t know if there is duck today. I have to ask.”
Yan Jue looked at Ren Yu for a while and suddenly laughed, “won’t you be afraid of me?”
