China's famous detective Jiangnan: There are ghosts on campus

Chapter 66 Suspicious Power Outage (3)

Lao He was smoking a cigarette outside, heard my voice and took the cigarette out of his mouth, looked at the direction of my finger, and said strangely: "This is the men's toilet, but there has never been any water leakage before. Ah, why is the water dripping now, could it be caused by the continuous rain recently?"

I then asked, "Did you feel any water droplets when you came to repair it that day?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Lao He said with some uncertainty: "At that time, we were in a hurry and found that it was broken down, and it was basically worthless to repair, so we hurried to the school's own power generation room and turned on I didn’t pay attention to the backup power supply, really.”

I nodded, and then said: "You take me right above here."

Directly above the distribution box is the men's restroom. When he got there, Lao He turned on the light in the men's restroom, and immediately found a puddle of stagnant water under the pool of the first faucet.

I squatted down in the first pool. This small pool is the same as the general pool. There is a plastic pipe underneath to lead the water to the main pipe below, and then discharge it into the sewer.

"So that's how it is." Lao He said with a clear expression at this time, "There is water accumulation here, so it dripped down directly."

I took out the glove from my pocket and put it on, then reached in with my hand and touched the water pipe, but I didn't feel any breakage. I frowned, and suddenly pulled it out forcefully.

"Comrade policeman, what are you doing?" Old He looked at my movements with some puzzlement.

I ignored him, but stood up, walked to another pool, and repeated the same action just now to pull out the water pipe.

Old He was even more puzzled, "Comrade police..."

I stared at the two water pipes, and suddenly sneered, then went to the bottom of the last pool again and pulled out the water pipe, then turned my head and said to Lao He beside me: "Your school's things should be purchased in a unified way, right?"

"Of course, for a large unit like ours, everything is purchased in a unified way." Although Lao He was a little puzzled, he still answered my question.

"Then look at these three pipes. Among them, the one with stagnant water under the pool has a different brand name from the other two. But the other two pipes have the same brand name." I then said to him.

"But does this mean something?" Old He was still puzzled.

"What does that mean?" I sneered, "It means that someone deliberately damaged that water pipe, and then turned on the faucet, creating a large amount of stagnant water underneath, so that the water seeped in. Afterwards, he replaced the water pipe again. .”

"You mean that including the fire in the distribution box, it was all caused by human beings?" Old He was not stupid, and he immediately understood after thinking about it.

"Not bad." I nodded.

"But what does this water leak have to do with setting the distribution box on fire?" Lao He was even more suspicious, "It's impossible for water to cause a fire, right?"

"Sometimes, it will be caused." I thought for a while and said to him, "We'll go back to the distribution box later."
