Crime scene: 162 mystery solving puzzles to find out who the murderer is

Chapter 126 Fire or Arson
A fire broke out in a residential building, killing 3 people.Because the house was an old-fashioned wooden structure house, it burned so quickly and completely that the firefighters who arrived quickly could not put out the fire, and it was extremely difficult to investigate the fire scene because almost everything was reduced to ashes.

Criminal police detective Xu Song was invited to assist in investigating the cause of the fire. He was also very disappointed when he arrived at the scene for investigation.Therefore, Xu Song had no choice but to go to the only survivor of the house for investigation and interview.The interviewee under investigation is the daughter-in-law of the family.According to her, her parents-in-law and husband hadn’t woken up that morning, so she got up early to make breakfast for them. When she was making fried pancakes, she went back to the bathroom for a while, causing the frying oil to overheat and catch fire. She came out of the bathroom and found the fire. Fight the fire immediately and turn off the gas stove switch.Unfortunately, she made a mistake in her busy schedule and poured a bucket of oil on the stove as water into the burning iron pot, which made the fire even bigger. She fled the scene in fright, and her parents-in-law and husband discovered the fire too late. In addition, there were iron bars outside the windows, so they could not escape and were burned to death.

Looking at the sad young woman, Xu Song was actually a little sad, but then he started to analyze it with his brain.Can you figure out if it was a misfire or arson?
[Answer] The young woman is a lying arsonist, because after the oil in the iron pan is on fire, the situation of pouring a bucket of water and pouring a bucket of oil is just the opposite.Oil is lighter than water. If you pour water on it, it will make the fire bigger, but if you pour a bucket of oil, the fire will be extinguished due to lack of oxygen, and the fire will never be bigger.Therefore, what the young woman said does not match the actual situation.

Young women are arsonists.There is an iron gate outside the window, but there is no iron gate outside the door. The parents-in-law and husband could escape through the door. If they did not escape, it can be seen that the door is locked.After the fire, the door was burned and the evidence was also burned.The young woman concealed the truth.
