"The mountain is on fire."

Amidst the exclamation, the policeman acting as the driver braked the car hard, looking at the column of smoke that shot straight into the sky.

"It seems to be a house in the middle of the mountain."

Talking to himself, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Jones, only to see that the latter was holding the gun tightly in his hand, his face was already livid.

What the police officer said was correct. From such a short distance, the place where the thick smoke rose could be clearly seen, which was in the abandoned house.

"How is this going?"

At this time, the car behind had already caught up, and Mrs. Mary rushed down in a panic, standing there staring blankly.

"Not sure yet."

Jones comforted softly, then turned to look at Fu Qian.

The latter was resting his chin with one hand, thoughtful.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"The burning rate is very fast, and there seems to be more than one fire point."

Didn't even look back before paying.

"It should be artificially more likely."

……

Unexpectedly, Fu Qianzhen was analyzing seriously. Jones was silent for a while, opened the car door on his side, and held his wife's hand.

"Come here, let's go take a look together."

Picking up the distraught Mrs. Mary into the car, Jones signaled the police to change their destination and head straight up the mountain.

Click!

At the same time, a bright handcuff was shackled on Fu Qian's hand.

"Wouldn't that be a little illegal?"

Fu Qian lowered his head and glanced, his expression remained unchanged.

"I'm not even a suspect now."

"You can sue me."

Jones replied quite directly, and continued to handcuff Fu Qian's other hand, and then put away the gun.

……

When the two cars rushed up the mountain, many cars were already crowded there.

On the road behind him, there were still a steady stream of cars rushing over.

Among the crowd who got out of the car, at first glance, in addition to some fire extinguishing tools, many people even carried chainsaws and axes.

With the size of this small town, it is really unlikely that there will be a professional fire brigade. The residents came here to volunteer.

But at this moment, I don't know if it's because of the wooden structure, but the speed of the fire spread is also extremely fast.

Looking from this position, the raging flames almost turned half of the sky red, and the entire house in the middle of the mountain was completely engulfed in flames, and it even started to spread around.

After years of silence and decay, this ancient building ushered in its final glory.

Even at this moment, there was a strange smell in the air.

Execution is too good!
Fu Qian, whose hands were handcuffed, got out of the car as if nothing had happened, and was deeply moved while looking at the mountain.

Not only can he judge that the fire is likely to be man-made, but he can even guess who did it.

In the previous conversation with Lei in the hotel, he once mentioned that even if the place was burned to ashes, he would not be able to find the person he was looking for.

The original intention at the time was to imply that his actions could be bigger, but I didn't expect this one to follow the literal meaning.

I have to say, it can be called a surprise.

"what!"

Amidst Fu Qian's emotion, an exclamation sounded from beside him at the right time.

Turning his head to look, it was Fran who got off from the car behind, staring at his hands in a daze.

"How could you—"

"Good question! I don't know either."

Fu Qian raised his hand for a little scrutiny, and compared his chin to Jones.

This thing is obviously a little difficult to explain, and the sheriff's face became more gloomy for a while.

Mrs. Mary, who was beside him, was still a little limp at the moment, and she didn't fall down because of his support.

At this moment, there were shouts all around, and many people began to spontaneously organize their work, trying to sort out a crude isolation zone.

However, the intensity of the fire was beyond imagination. In a blink of an eye, it had already spread from the house, and the entire mountain was swallowed up.

"Sheriff?"

The younger brother who was driving saw this scene and wanted to step forward to help, but subconsciously turned around and asked for advice first.

"Better get them down."

Jones didn't respond for a while, but Fu Qian next to him said.

"Listen to him."

When the police officer was dazed, Jones, who had been observing for a while, gritted his teeth and finally spoke.

"It's too late! Although the wind is not blowing this way, the speed of spreading is abnormally fast, and it will be dangerous if it continues!"

"quick!"

Jones almost yelled the last sentence, sounding very unhappy.

But what Fu Qian said was indeed correct, at this moment, he could already feel the scorching heat.

After Jones had said so, the police officer didn't dare to neglect, and rushed up directly.

However, due to the chaotic on-site order, when he and his colleagues pulled everyone back, the raging flames were already in sight.

Then the residents who withdrew a certain distance, looked at the Flame Mountain in front of them, and fell silent for a while.

The power of nature is always so terrifying, it is easy to feel the insignificance of mortals.

"Anyone else?"

At this time, in a newly arrived car, a rich-looking old man hurried down. He was relieved to see the scene in front of him, and then asked Jones. His tone seemed to be that of the mayor.

"Probably no more—"

Seeing that Jones didn't seem to be in the mood to speak, his little brother helped answer from the side.

However, before he finished speaking, the crowd exclaimed.

Following the prestige, he saw a figure slowly walking out of the flames and thick smoke.

It didn't know where it came from, and it was covered from head to toe in a thick blanket with scorched marks all over it.

Under the background of the sky full of flames, this one seems to have appeared from hell, and the visual effect is really eye-catching.

When a group of people suspected that it was a person or a ghost, they saw a figure walking all the way not far away, bent down and threw all the things on the ground, revealing his true face.

"thunder?"

Mrs. Mary screamed almost immediately.

"How could it be you?"

Under the blanket was Lei who had disappeared from the hotel before.

He actually came to the mountain, and even at this moment, except for his hair and eyebrows being slightly burnt, there is nothing obvious about him.

It is impossible to imagine how he crossed this sea of ​​flames.

In the midst of everyone's attention, Lei's expression was silent, he didn't respond to his aunt's call, and his eyes were only fixed on Fu Qian.

"I get it, I get it all! I finally found the answer!"

"Oh? Congratulations! But I don't understand what you understand."

Instantly became the focus of attention, a pair of silver bracelets elicited countless whispers, Fu Qian looked innocent.

At this moment, the countdown in front of him was less than a hundred minutes.

"Don't understand? Hehehehe..."

A series of laughter came from Lei's throat, and the expression on his face was quite exaggerated.

"Your shortcoming is that you are too arrogant..."

"Last night, you really shouldn't have told me so much."
