Chapter 47
"This is a photo of the informant, have you seen it?"

Wan Qianhong clicked on a mobile phone photo, and although the mental outlook of the man on the screen had changed, the beard covering the entire chin was still so characteristic.

Xu Yuan looked familiar.

"It turns out that your informant is him. Don't wait any longer. You can't wait."

"What happened to him?"

"Do you still remember the cleaner I told you just now? He died when his head was pierced by a mop. He was also nicknamed Uncle Beard in the hospital..."

"No wonder he hasn't come yet."

Wan Qianhong was thoughtful, looking at her teammate who was the attending doctor of Arkham Hospital, she couldn't help but said with a smile.

"How about... you take over the work of the informant?"

"Then you are also working as an undercover agent at ECA?"

The two from the same world looked at each other and smiled.

It's all in it.

"Ah! It's on fire—"

Just then, a riot erupted in the restaurant.

The fire suddenly shot up into the sky and set the ceiling of the restaurant on fire.

"Ahhh-"

There was a figure in the flames, his whole body was covered in flames, he howled in pain, and rolled around on the ground, which also intensified the spread of the flames.

But in just a few seconds, the man stopped moving.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"My God, why did this suddenly catch fire?"

"This person is already dead..."

The diners in the restaurant ran out one after another, and the clerks brought a few hand-held fire extinguishers in a mess, and they were extinguishing the flames from unknown sources.

Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong looked at each other.

There was no need for verbal communication, the two of them did not go through the main entrance of the restaurant to squeeze with the diners, but went directly through the window and came outside the restaurant.

One person goes to the left and the other goes to the right, searching for different directions.

About 10 minutes later, Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong returned to the old friend party restaurant one after another. At this time, the fire in the restaurant was extinguished due to timely control.

There was only one charred corpse lying quietly on the ground.

The faces of the restaurant staff were all ugly.

"How did the fire start?"

"I do not know."

"I was ordering this customer just now, and there was nothing abnormal when I ordered. After I finished ordering, I turned around and within a few steps, this person was on fire."

"Did you see where the fire came from? Did he light it himself?"

"Go and adjust the monitoring, anyway, when the police come, you have to watch the monitoring..."

The police arrived.

The efficiency is quite high.

And it was the scene where the ambulance came together, but no medical diagnosis was required, and anyone present who was not blind could tell that the ambulance was a waste of time.

The police car honked and cordoned off the scene.

The guests at the restaurant were also kept for routine questioning.

Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong are also listed here.

However, Wan Qianhong showed her ID to the police chief, who saluted her directly, and then let her and Xu Yuan move freely at the scene of the crime without asking any questions.

It can be seen that although Wanqianhong's supernatural countermeasure bureau has not been publicly shown to the public, there is still a PY transaction behind the scenes with the police who also maintain urban order, and there is a tacit understanding.

"I'm envious, even the police can easily handle your identity."

Xu Yuan made complaints first, and then got back to the topic.

"I didn't find anyone suspicious."

"Neither have I."

"It seems that the delay time for the flame to burn is not short enough for him to go far..."

The spontaneous combustion of the man in the restaurant is exactly the same as in the 29-second video. Both Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong judged that the hooded passer-by in the video is very likely to do it.

It's just that when they ran outside the restaurant, there was no one there.

Next, the police went to watch the surveillance, and Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong followed suit.

as expected.

Either the fire came from flammable gas leaking from the restaurant pipes or something, or it burst out of the dead man's body, only this time it wasn't the shoulder.

is the palm.

The flames that appeared in the palm of his hand quickly spread throughout his body.

The violent high temperature only took a few seconds to turn a stranger into a thorough acquaintance, and the familiarity was too familiar, and they were all scorched.

All the personal belongings were burnt clean, which added a lot of difficulties to the identification of the deceased.

Xu Yuan commented: "The temperature of this flame is unusually high."

Wan Qianhong nodded approvingly: "The deceased did not have any flammable substances such as alcohol on him. Normally, even if all his clothes were on fire, the flame would reach the sky at a few hundred degrees."

"But a flame of only a few hundred degrees obviously cannot burn a living person like this in a few seconds."

The camera facing outward at the entrance of the restaurant captured the whole process of contact between the deceased and the suspect.

The suspect hasn't even changed his image, and is still wearing the same clothes and hood that appeared in the 29-second video.

But this time, he didn't show his face either.

The deceased first appeared in the picture, preparing to enter the restaurant like other guests, but when he was at the door, he seemed to see something unappetizing.

Subconsciously frowned, revealing disgust.

Then, the suspect wearing a hood walked over from the direction the deceased was looking at, and the other people around him chose to avoid it for no reason.

It's like, everyone wants to stay away from this person.

The hooded man walked up to the dead man and held out his hand.

This is an invitation to shake hands.

The first reaction of the deceased was to take a step back, but the man in the hood took a step forward, and the deceased shook hands with the man in the hood reluctantly.

The time when the two hands were held together did not exceed a second.

The hooded man ignored the dead man's reaction, turned around and walked out of the range of the surveillance camera.

The deceased rubbed his palms on his pants suspiciously, and then walked into the restaurant with a normal expression. Less than 4 minutes later, flames burst out of his body.

The restaurant caught fire.

Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong also jumped out of the window and ran out of the restaurant at this time, looking for the hooded man's whereabouts in two directions, but it was still a step late.

"Ask the people who were there at the time, why they avoided the man in the hood, what did the man in the hood say to the deceased, and whether there was any quarrel."

Wan Qianhong turned her head to look at the sheriff, and ordered in an orderly tone.

Judging from the reaction of the deceased, he should have had a conversation with the man in the hood.

It's just that although the camera at the entrance of the restaurant has a recording module, the nearby ambient sound is too noisy. The mixed noise of other guests talking and the sound of cars passing by the road completely covers the conversation between the deceased and the hooded man.

The sheriff didn't shirk or be impatient at all, and quickly asked the answer from the restaurant guests who were left behind for routine questioning.
