...Continue to delay the second division line... After this period of time, I will add it... The following content will be updated tomorrow...

"Are you wrong? I have told you a long time ago that water and fire are ruthless, can fire be played casually?" I was heartbroken and stamped my feet and beat my chest. "Why don't you listen to me? Why do you have to poke it into the fire? You... can you still eat it by roasting chicken wings like this?"

Soldier: "I..."

"What a great chicken wing." I couldn't help but burst into tears. "I also applied honey and plum sauce, and I wasted it by you."

"Don't be so excited." Someone persuaded him, "There is still a large basket on the side of the chicken wings, so it's enough."

"You!" I glared at this person, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Take it over quickly. And you, don't touch the chicken wings anymore, someone else can help..."

The fire burned for nearly a day.

Until there was no burning and the fire weakened significantly, the soldiers took buckets into the fire to extinguish the remaining fire.

Ling Zexu and I then stepped in.

The ground was still warm, with ashes floating everywhere, collapsed walls, carbonized beams and columns, charred furniture... Everything was telling the ruthlessness of the fire.

"I thought I could really burn it clean with one fire?" Ling Zexu narrowed his eyes and looked around, "I thought it was too simple."

"Can you still have clues left after burning this way?" I said.

"Some things will be burned, but some things... are exposed because of this fire." Ling Zexu said slowly, "The act of concealing the crime is actually leaving more evidence."

"Then what should we look for?" I asked.

"Find the fire point." Ling Zexu said, "that is where the fire first started."

"Is there any characteristics of the fire point?" I asked again.

"Generally speaking, the fire source burns cleaner than other places," Ling Zexu said, "because the fire points are usually places that are prone to burn, especially in such large-scale fires, the fire source burns the longest time, and it is likely to burn a clear blank area."

"Clean? Blank?" I looked around and could only see the mess on the ground.

"Also, the combustion of fire is directed." Ling Zexu said, "We can reverse the directedness to find the fire point."

Directionality...

I tried to tell it a little while, and finally gave up.

"Finally found." Ling Zexu walked towards the depths of the fire.

I quickly followed and carefully avoided the fire wreckage under my feet.

"Where is this place?" Ling Zexu asked with a frown.

"Sir, this is...it should be the place where everyone in the Sky Eagle Castle is parked." The soldier who had been following him replied.

"All the corpses are here?" Ling Zexu asked again.

"That's right." said the soldier, "I personally directed the person to move the body in. This place was originally a training room, and the place was spacious enough."

"Who else has anyone come to Sky Eagle Castle except you, more than a hundred brothers?" Ling Zexu pondered.

"There are still a dozen yamen runners." said the soldier. "Before our brothers took over, they were guarding them, and after the handover, they stayed for a while."

"Give me a list." Ling Zexu said.

"I'll do it now." The commander turned around and left.

"This is the fire point?" I asked Ling Zexu.

"That's right." Ling Zexu nodded, "and the prisoner used tinea oil and other things, which made the fire very fierce."

"Do you suspect the prisoner is in the yamen runner?" I said.

"I'm just finding a reason to help him out." Ling Zexu said, "This guy is obviously Liu Changjun's lackey."

"Will the prisoner hide in the soldiers?" I said.

"It doesn't feel like it." Ling Zexu said, "The setting fire is to destroy the corpse, but the setting fire is a great evidence. Either you escape or be silenced, it is unlikely that you will stay."

"That's what outsiders did?" I frowned, "This is a troublesome, I can't check it."

"What did I say just now?" Ling Zexu smiled coldly, "Some things will appear after burning!"

He kicked away the burnt wooden pillar that was stumbled to the ground, swelled his palms, and gushed his energy, blowing away all the ashes on the ground.

"Hey?" I saw a faint pattern on the ground, similar to the snake crawling over.

"This is where tincture oil is poured over." Ling Zexu said, "Because the combustion temperature is extremely high, it leaves conspicuous marks on the ground."

"Did you know the prisoner used tinea oil?" I said.

"I knew it when I saw the fire." Ling Zexu said, "It is difficult to burn completely in a place as big as Skyhawk Castle, not to mention burning so quickly and thoroughly - if you want to achieve this effect, you have to set up multiple fire points and prepare a large amount of flammable materials without tincture. Don't forget that there are people here to guard it, so it is naturally more convenient for tincture oil."

"What can these traces mean?" I asked.

"Trail." Ling Zexu said, "the trajectory of the prisoner's movement when arson is on fire."

I see.

As long as you grasp the prisoner's movement trajectory at that time, you can not only find some clues that are easily neglected, but also infer many details.

for example……

"From these traces, there were at least seven or eight prisoners, and they should have come in through the back door." Ling Zexu walked and analyzed, "In order to allow the fire to spread rapidly, they used tinder oil to pave the 'fire-guiding road' between the rooms, but in the end, they returned to the practice room and lit the fire in the pile of corpses."

"So their purpose of setting fire is to destroy corpses and traces." I said.

"This may not be necessary." Ling Zexu said, "Of course, the destruction of corpses is an important reason, but... you see, is this trace very strange?"

I looked down and found that it was a very obvious arc mark, as if I was deliberately avoiding something.

"It's a bit strange, and there's more than one situation." I looked around carefully, "They... deliberately left a path?"

"They should be moving something away." Ling Zexu said.

He and I looked up and looked in the same direction.

"There is..." Several pictures flashed through my mind, "The place where the escort car is put!"

"The escort car?" Ling Zexu said, "Why do they ignore the escort car when they kill people and have to come back and get it later?"

"Maybe when they were killing, they didn't realize the value of the escort car." I guessed.

"But this is too risky." Ling Zexu frowned and said, "The fire can be released secretly, and ten escort cars can be transported away. The noise is too loud. Even if the guards are relaxed, they will never fail to find out."

"Go and take a look." I also think he made sense.

Through a scorched earth, among the rubble, I saw a pile of charcoal piles.

"That's right, it's our escort cart." I pulled out a piece of wood from the charcoal pile and weighed it in my hand.

Although the escort car is coated with fireproof paint, the fireproof paint can also be burned to a certain extent.

I was lucky enough to save this piece in my hand.
