Chapter [32]: The fire in the sky
This is a fire that is enough to threaten the entire city center, because Yuecheng Hotel is located in a prime location in Yuecheng, surrounded by multiple commercial areas and administrative centers. Once the fire spreads uncontrollably, the consequences will be unimaginable.
You can directly see the fire three blocks away. The flames soaring into the sky with the explosion of thunderbolts ignited the endless fear in the hearts of the citizens, as if the doomsday has come.
I looked at the scale of the fire and hoped in my heart that this was not intentional.
I just heard the victim covered in fire screaming, "There is someone in the elevator. What's going on? Why does this happen when there is a fire like this? Is this kind of thing appearing in the elevator? Is this coincidence or someone deliberately arranged it.
Of course, another possibility is not ruled out.
It is the victim who may have an illusion in extreme horror and then misread something. We hope that this is the case. If so, at least the situation will not become complicated.
Just as the fire was burning violently, the local police also arrived at the scene. In the noise, I heard someone calling me my name, and turned around and saw Qiao Wei.
When he saw me, his eyes lit up: "It's really you boy. What wind has blown you to Yuecheng? It's not for the sake of human skin."
I opened my mouth and did not answer directly, but asked back: "Why are you here for?"
"Of course it's dealing with the fire... By the way, did you come for the human skin case? If it's..."
The boy was still talking nonstop, and I quickly interrupted: "Concentrate on dealing with the fire, I will just take my wife out for a trip."
Hold Ou Ye in his arms and act as a shield.
Qiao Wei glanced at my arms, with an envious look on his face: "You boy is very lucky, okay, have a happy trip..."
After saying that, he shook his head and walked towards the fire. Ou Ye pouted: "Master, why do you have acquaintances everywhere?"
"I am an old classmate, but he is from Yuecheng. After graduation, he was transferred back to his hometown to do things."
I let go of Ou Ye, stared at Qiao Wei's back and said, Ou Ye was very unhappy: "When did I become your wife? Are you so shameless?"
"There is no way, isn't the leader not letting us expose our action goals, so..."
I shrugged helplessly and quickly turned the blame. I knew that Qiao Wei's personality was like the kind of person who broke the casserole and asked him what he wanted. If he didn't find an excuse to make excuses, he would definitely ask something, so he had to feel wronged Ou Ye.
Just when Ou Ye was still trying to complain, a seriously injured firefighter was pushed out with an oxygen hood. Qiao Wei stopped the firefighter, and Ou Ye and I also came over.
Looking at the firefighters on the stretcher truck, their skin was ulcerated, and everyone couldn't bear to look at them.
Joway asked the firefighter: "Who else is inside?"
"We don't know yet, the situation inside the hotel is very bad. About a year ago, a wall fell down and has been empty since then. We wouldn't know until we went in."
The firefighter endured the severe pain and was pushed into the ambulance.
Joway looked up at me: "Do you think this is a fire case?"
Now, it is still difficult to make a decision, but why did the firefighter just now say that the hotel has been empty? It is obvious that the hotel is still in use now.
Also, what happened to the wall that collapsed a year ago.
Seeing me frowning, Joway said to me, "Brother, it seems that your vacation trip is coming to an end."
I asked, "Why?"
"This fire happened so suddenly. The situation is very strange at the moment. I can't handle it alone. Come and help me."
Qiao Wei took it for granted and blatantly asked me to help him investigate the fire, but I looked embarrassed. Ou Ye quietly pulled my clothes behind me.
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Are you two on your honeymoon?"
"That's right."
I pretended to refuse, and Qiao Wei said, "If it's not for giving birth, you can help me with your help."
"It's okay to help you. I have a condition and can't tell anyone that I'm a policeman."
After saying the conditions, Qiao Wei's eyes flashed with surprise, and he seemed to be surprised, but he still agreed readily: "I understand, do you want to give me all the credit, right?"
I don't agree.
Qiao Wei is a fire investigator. His job is to find out how the fire occurred and why he asked me to assist him. He may have felt that the fire occurred unusually and needed to involve criminal investigation and other aspects, so he picked it up and used it now.
Ou Ye pulled me aside and whispered: "You are looking for death, have you forgotten the explanation of your leader?"
The leader made us unable to contact local staff and worried about our safety issues. He put Ou Ye next to me, as if he was supervising me.
I said, "If we don't pass them, we can't go into the hotel to investigate."
This is the most objective condition.
Because of a fire, the scene will definitely be closed immediately. It is impossible to enter the hotel, let alone go in to investigate the case, so this is the worst option.
Ou Ye exhaled: "How to deal with the human skin in our hands?"
"It depends on the situation, find an opportunity to use it to identify it, and see if this human skin is in line with the DNA of the victims of this case."
That human skin is now lying quietly in Ou Ye's Xiao Kun's bag. Because of casual clothes, Ou Ye's dress is still quite pure and fashionable, but who would have thought that there was a human skin in the beautiful bag of a beautiful woman?
“The situation is bad, Xiaotian.”
Qiao Wei's words came over. He had already obtained the hotel map and walked towards us with a frown.
Ou Ye and I exchanged a look and looked at Qiao Wei together. I asked Qiao Wei: "So far, what have we learned and what is useful to us?"
Jowe took us to the fire and said as he walked, "The phone number was called ten minutes ago, and the fire spread rapidly. 120 firefighters and 30 trucks, they still don't know if the fire can be controlled."
Looking at Qiao Wei's expression, we knew that the fire was very serious. If it continued to burn like this, the entire hotel would turn into ashes and nothing could be left behind.
The closer I get to the fire, the more worried I feel.
If the hotel is burned, the evidence in the hotel will definitely be destroyed. Without any evidence, can the skinning case of the female leader still be broken normally?
Jowe asked me, "What are you thinking?"
"How could such a big fire suddenly start? It's spreading too fast."
As we all know, there are fire passages between the floors of each building, and the fire doors between the passages are usually closed. This closure is to prevent the fire from spreading between the floors once a fire occurs.
However, the fire at Yuecheng Hotel only took a few minutes from the occurrence to the spread of the entire building.
Could it be that when the fire broke out, the fire doors of all fire passages were open?
Qiao Wei said: "When the World Trade Center collapsed, it almost collapsed in a shattered manner, with the same effect as directional blasting. Many people suspected that the building was not collapsed, but was blown up, which is also a huge controversy."
Yes, there are so many steel and concrete in the building, but it collapses as a whole because it is hit by an airplane. This is too weird. Sometimes directional blasting cannot achieve this effect.
So, is the fire in Yuecheng Hotel similar to the principle of the collapse of the World Trade Center?
I looked at the blazing fire in the whole building and asked Qiao Wei: "Is there any news that shows how the fire started?"
"No, it seems to start from the third floor, but there is no facility running above, and there is no gas or electricity connected to China Unicom. Anyway, I will give me two reasons."
Qiao Wei's words became more and more strange. The hotel was clearly still running, so why did it say there was no gas or electricity? Is the operation of the hotel an illusion?
I asked: "What are the two reasons?"
"Usually, the fire is caused by electricity, but there are no facilities in this hotel, which, in my opinion, must be artificial."
When Qiao Wei said this, I refuted his words: "First of all, your opinion is incorrect. The hotel was still open ten minutes ago, with elevators and various heating equipment running inside. You can't say so decisively that this is not an accident."
Qiao Wei turned around and looked at me: "You seem to be interested in the elevator in the hotel?"
"Yes, just when the fire broke out, someone ran out and said that the hotel elevator was haunted, and there were human skins inside..."
Ou Ye was answering the conversation, and I glared at her fiercely and forced her back to say what she said.
Ou Ye stuck out his tongue and knew that he had missed it, so he quickly stopped.
Qiao Wei is a smart person. When he heard Ou Ye talk about the elevator, he stared at her: "What kind of elevator is haunted? How could you know so clearly? Have you been paying attention to this hotel from the beginning?"
Ou Ye's leak made Qiao Wei grab the braid. According to Qiao Wei's personality, I will continue to ask questions. I must change the topic.
"The situation is critical, we must set out right away."
Just so happened that the fire investigation staff shouted, disrupting Qiao Wei's attention. I said to him: "Take it quickly. If things get out of control, you will face great trouble."
Qiao Wei nodded, looked at Ou Ye thoughtfully, turned around and walked towards the fire again.
I took a breath and looked at Ou Ye. Ou Ye was also sticking out his tongue quietly at me, expressing his deep apology. I really don’t have a memory if I have the chance to deal with her again.
Qiao Wei said to us: "Let's go and see if we can find security videos."
In this case, it is the best way to adjust surveillance as soon as possible. This place is in a downtown area, and there must be many cameras nearby. Perhaps some clues that can be found from the camera.
Then he looked at his other colleagues: "You go and investigate if there have been any unusual fire accidents recently."
According to Qiao Wei, the fire was also unusual. Perhaps he had already determined that this was a human accident. This preconceived investigation method was a bit troublesome.
Jowe looked up and asked me, "Do you have anything else to add?"
"The report call must also be investigated, because there may be clues in the report call."
I can't think of any other opinions for the time being, I can only say one.
Qiao Wei's other colleagues looked at me and were a little surprised because I was a stranger, so how could I appear in their fire investigation work?
Qiao Wei said to his colleagues: "You guys hurry up and go and investigate with the phone and record, and do not let go of any doubts."
But we walked around the hotel and saw no surveillance probes. There was no probe in such a downtown street, which was really hard to understand.
I know that people can only enter specific areas of this building, so these are areas we are more concerned about.
