The night wind was blowing enough, and the two people who took a walk after dinner also finished their meals and planned to drive home.

Along the way, the two were still discussing where to go to play in the future. Finally, because the weather was gradually entering summer, they planned to go to Hawaii for a vacation.

In this island-type climate, there is no need to bring large and small bags of clothing, the scenery is also good, and there are all kinds of delicious food. It is understandable for the two of them to choose here.

The main reason is to go there to have a leisurely vacation and play, rather than going to the market. After going to this attraction, I will rush to the next attraction to check in.

This kind of slow-paced vacation is the vacation that Tang Ze hopes, and it is also convenient for him to adjust his mentality.

"So it's settled then?"

After discussing where to go on vacation, Ayako said, "Then I will contact us tomorrow to find a guide for us. For the hotel, wait for you to settle the matter at hand before making a reservation?"

"Well, that's it." Tang Ze nodded while driving: "I'll take annual leave after that."

"But can you really go for so many days?" Ayako said this, expressing a little worry: "I won't let you come back halfway?"

"Relax, it's impossible. The Metropolitan Police Department won't turn around unless it leaves me." Tang Ze waved his hand: "It will be calm by then."

The reason why Tang Ze is so confident is because he still has a seven-day leave card to use, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about homicides and other bad things during the trip.

In addition, this time he chose to travel abroad, but he could also experiment with one thing, and that was to see the distance of the leave card.

To put it simply, it is to see if he can influence Neon and not have a case when he is in Hawaii.

It can also be regarded as a prop test incidentally during this trip.

"Then I can rest assured." Ayako nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for you to arrange the work at hand and ask for leave."

"If there is no accident, you can ask for leave tomorrow."

Tang Ze nodded and drove to the uphill ahead, but Ayako looked out the window and her tone became hurried: "Xianyi, is there a fire over there?"

"Where?" Tang Ze drove up the hill and stopped the car, then looked out of the co-pilot's window.

With good eyesight, he quickly locked onto the burning building in the distance.

"It's really on fire, but there are ambulances around and there."

Tang Ze retracted the body that was on top of Ayako, and then started the car again: "Let's go, go home and watch the news later, there should be reports."

"I hope there will be no casualties." Ayako said sincerely looking forward to the fire in the distance.

It was only nine o'clock when the two got home, so they decided to rest and watch TV.

Thinking of the fire they encountered on the road, the two tacitly tuned to the local radio station in Tokyo and saw the scene of the fire.

"It's an old-fashioned house, no wonder it's on fire." Ayako couldn't help but say after looking at the burning house: "There seems to be a lot of news about this kind of old house on fire recently, and I heard my subordinates discuss similar fires two days ago. ."

"Huh?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows: "There was an old house on fire before?"

"Well, but fortunately, there were no casualties in the previous fire."

Ayako thought of something when she said this, and picked up a newspaper from the dining table: "Look, thanks to this firefighter named Shashima, who did not care about life and death, there was no casualty in the fire."

"Amazing man." Tang Ze praised without hesitation looking at the man whose face was blackened and embarrassed in the newspaper.

This is a respect for the retrogrades. Every firefighter who robs people from death is a hero.

"I hope this time is safe and sound." Looking at the fire that was gradually being extinguished, Ayako couldn't help but pray.

But the world has a "Murphy's Law".

To put it simply, things will always go to the bad end that people think, no matter how small the possibility, but it will always happen and cause the worst outcome.

Although this is a pseudo-law with no scientific basis, just a pessimistic subjective sentiment, the reason why this law is famous is because it is true most of the time.

Just as Ayako's voice fell for a moment, the firefighters took out an old man from the extinguished fire and ran towards the ambulance.

Although the old man in the TV didn't seem to be seriously injured because he put out the fire in time, Tang Ze couldn't help sighing.

Because when the fire is on, it is not that it will not die if it is not burned, but many of the victims died because of suffocation.

"It's really ruthless." Tang Ze sighed: "I hope it's not as bad as I thought."

The two then changed the station, and after watching a movie, they took a shower and fell asleep.

Although there was a little episode in the middle, it did not affect the mood of the two. After all, this is just a "story" for outsiders, and there is no personal experience.

Only those related to the deceased will be saddened by the "accident" in front of them.

But sometimes "story" will come to you, especially people in Tang Ze's industry, will get involved in other people's "accidents" and become a "story" in his mouth.

Early the next morning, he had just arrived at Kesouyan when he received a report from his subordinates, saying that Ma Sheng had an urgent matter to find him.

After arriving at the dormitory of the forensic department, Tang Ze knocked on the door and waited for a while, and then saw Ma Shengshi open the door and walked out.

"What happened? You didn't go back last night."

Because the case happens 24 hours a day, in order to race against time to obtain the information on the corpse, the corpse will be dissected.

Anatomy is an extremely labor-intensive and energy-intensive job, and it also requires a lot of time. In order to take care of the forensic doctor, Tang Ze specially reserved a dormitory for them so that they can rest directly.

Looking at the sleepy appearance of Ma Sheng, 80% of them fell asleep in the dormitory after the autopsy yesterday.

That's why Tang Ze asked.

"I don't know if you have watched the news? Yesterday, a residential house caught fire, and an old man who lived alone passed away."

Tang Ze was stunned by Ma Sheng's truthful words, "I know this news, but why did the victims who started the fire be sent to us..."

"About this, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Ma Shengshi went to his office and sent an inspection report on the desktop to Tang Ze: "The deceased's name is Yamamura Yuzang, 71 years old this year, living alone.

There was a fire at around 8:30 last night and he was trapped inside after not being able to escape.

In fact, when the ambulance arrived, it was already confirmed that the other party was not rescued.

It was originally planned to be treated as an accident, but the doctor accompanying the ambulance found the bruise on the envoy's neck and the "Yoshikawa Line" caused by the resistance on the neck.

At that time, the doctor suspected that the deceased was killed before the fire, and after the criminal report with his colleagues, he directly transported the body to the research institute. "

"Looking at the injury on the neck, it looks like he was strangled to death by his hands."

Tang Ze looked at the analysis report: "The mucous membrane of the trachea is pale. It really wasn't the death caused by the fire, but was killed before the fire."

"Well, generally speaking, there should be traces of flame burns in the trachea of ​​the burnt to death, or the trachea will turn black due to inhalation of a lot of smoke."

Ma Sheng nodded and said: "But the corpse I dissected last night, his tracheal mucosa is completely white, which is "pale tracheal mucosa in forensic medicine." "

This suggests that the deceased was actually dead before the fire, so no dust or flames were inhaled.

Judging from the scars on the messenger's neck and the "Yoshikawa Line", the deceased may have been strangled to death before the fire. "

"Do you set fire to extinguish the traces after killing people?"

Tang Ze never thought that the accidental fire that he encountered last night would turn into a murder case: "I know the situation, and then I will take the people from the scientific research and research to the scene to see."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you." Ma Sheng yawned and turned to leave: "Then I'll go back first and then go to sleep."

"Since you are awake, eat breakfast before going to bed." Tang Ze urged, "Pay attention to your body."

"I know." Ma Shengshi waved his hand and walked towards the restaurant.

Tang Ze quickly contacted Hiroshi Saito and asked him to take his men to the scene of the crime with him.

Of course, the first section of the investigation is naturally indispensable in murder cases. Tang Ze called Takagi and found that the other party and Sato Mikazu had already set off ahead of schedule.

Everyone drove quickly to the spot where the fire happened yesterday, and the area here is full of traditional Japanese buildings.

Many structures such as the outer guardrails are made of wood, which is indeed a place that is easy to catch fire.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of people watching the excitement, Tang Ze led people into the boundary line.

At the scene of the crime, forensics officers have already started taking pictures for evidence collection.

After seeing Tang Ze, Takagi immediately greeted him: "Tang Ze criminal, you are here too."

"Well, I saw this fire in the distance yesterday." Tang Ze nodded and said, "I thought it was just an ordinary fire, but I didn't expect it to involve a murder case."

"Who said it wasn't, I rushed over when I received the news early this morning."

Speaking of which, Mikazu Sato smiled and said, "Oh yes, because this is a fire-related matter, the Chief Gong of the Fire Department will also handle the case with us."

"What about the others?"

Tang Ze nodded, but he was not too surprised. After all, this case also involved arson, and it was normal for a fire criminal to search and cooperate with the investigation.

"I'm investigating the scene in the house." Takagi pointed to the burnt black room.

"Come on, go in and have a look."

Tang Ze stepped into it, and a group of scientific research members in white coats entered the room one after another.

Entering the room, the dim light even made Hiroshi Saito take out a flashlight to see the surroundings.

"Yahahahah, this is really burnt enough." Looking at the room that was almost completely charred, Saito Hiro sighed with emotion.

At this moment, the house is basically charred black, which is why it is so dark in the house. After all, there is not even an intact wall around.

It was like a room that was almost completely dark, and the light naturally dimmed.

"It's police inspector Tang Ze." Officer Gong Chang who was investigating the scene heard the movement and looked over, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time indeed. The last time I saw you was during the "Flaming Horse" incident." Tang Ze greeted with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you more this time."

"Ah, by the way, let me introduce, this is Shashima Ryuhei, the deputy fire chief of the Tokyo Central Fire Department."

After Chief Gong greeted everyone, he immediately introduced a man dressed as a firefighter beside him.

"Shashima..." When Tang Ze heard the name, he looked at the other party carefully and suddenly said, "Ah, I saw you in the newspaper."

"Shashima, he is the ace of the Central Fire Department." The bow chief on the side laughed: "The media has also reported on him many times because of his desperate attitude to save people."

"Gong Chief Police Department, you have won the prize."

Shashima Ryohei bowed slightly towards everyone and said, "I was yesterday's disaster relief worker. Because of the murder case this time, I will cooperate with you in the next search."

"Please advise."

Tang Ze stopped procrastinating after returning the salute: "Then it's not too late, let's get to the point.

Was the cause of this fire really arson? "

"That's right." Shashima Ryuhei nodded.

"What about the fire, is it near here?" Takagi asked, looking at the charred shelf beside him.

"Not here, because the room temperature has become lower, so the burned house will be covered with very thick coal ash."

Shashima Longping shook it and said, "This is not the point of fire, come with me, I will take you there."

Ryuhei Shashima, who was wearing a helmet, adjusted the light on the hat slightly to prevent it from shining on other people's eyes, and then walked towards the living room of the room.

But just as Sato Miwako entered the room, the shelf next to the door suddenly fell.

"Be careful." Although Shashima Ryuhei was the first to enter the room, he kept standing at the door of the room and did not move away.

Seeing the black wreckage falling down, he quickly pulled Sato Mikazu towards him.

"Crack..."

The coke-burned wooden pillar smashed to the ground, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is broken into pieces.

"Be careful, the house after the fire is more like a dangerous building. I don't know when something will be destroyed." Shashima Ryuhei let go of Sato Miwako and told him, and then continued to walk forward.

"Are you all right, Sato Criminal." Takagi quickly stepped forward to ask when his sweetheart was in danger.

"It's okay, let's go." Sato Miwako patted Takagi to signal that the other party was relieved, and walked behind everyone to a corner of the living room.

"When the temperature becomes higher, there will be less soot, and this area is the fire point."

Shashima Ryuhei brought everyone to the dining table, first motioned them to look at the opposite ceiling, and then squatted down and said, "There is a high chance that it is caused by the fire source of the cigarette."

Everyone looked at the area pointed by the other party, but they were all dumbfounded.

Because the area the other party pointed to was completely scorched.

Completely charred black.
