Chapter 507 Undead in Flames (27)

The two didn't answer, just waiting for the woman's next words.

The woman laughed dryly, and the fire in her eyes gradually went out.

"I...can't talk..."

The two didn't understand what she meant.

"If you talk too much, you will die..." The woman suddenly pushed Yan Ruyu's chest, "You...don't talk to me!"

She didn't know where the strength came from with one hand, and she pushed Yan Ruyu so suddenly that she couldn't stand still, and Wu saved him by mistake so that she didn't fall down.

Taking advantage of this gap, the woman has already shrunk into the simple shack, only peeping out her eyes from a gap that cannot be covered.

Her withered hand was grasping the edge of the gap, like a chicken paw, and her whole body was like an old hen whose feathers had been fried.

Wu Cuo looked at her helplessly, thinking that this person might not be mentally normal, it was really pitiful, so he took out another 200 yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into the shack through the gap.

The two left quickly, and the woman's irregular and heavy breathing could still be heard far away.

"Could it be that the old lady who died in the demolition..." Wu Cuo said.

"Maybe it wasn't an accident," Yan Ruyu continued, "it was his son's idea to get more compensation."

"Exchange the old mother's life for money?" Wu Cuo couldn't believe it, "These people are too..."

Yan Ruyu gave him a sideways look, "You have been a criminal police officer for 7 or 8 years."

Wu nodded by mistake.

"Then what's the fuss about, you haven't seen this twisted and perverted one?"

Wu Cuo did not speak, Yan Ruyu continued: "This case is covered so tightly, who knows how much mold has grown in it, how many maggots have been hidden, not to mention how many bites, if you are not prepared to be disgusted, you will Don't meddle in this."

Hearing that he was clichéd again to persuade himself to retreat, Wu Cuo simply changed the subject.

"What I'm worried about now is that even if the old lady died of murder and the statute of limitations has expired, no one will admit it. We have nothing to do with the murderer."

"Whoever said that we are going to catch the murderer, it is enough to bluff Wang Jinsong."

What they didn't expect was that what frightened Wang Jinsong was not the events of 20 years ago, but the death of his sister Wang Limei.

It was late at night, Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo originally planned to go to Wang Jinsong the next day.

They found a wonton shop on the way home, and each of them ordered a large bowl, and they ate it with the heat until they felt like they were warming up.

At this time, Wu Cuo's phone rang.

When he saw the caller ID, it was Minghui, so he picked it up.

"Boss, have you been to the Meiyuan Community just now?" Minghui's voice was a little anxious.

Although Wu Cuo didn't turn on the hands-free, but the two sat very close, Yan Ruyu vaguely heard Minghui's words, and tilted his upper body towards Wu Cuo, his ears were almost attached to Yan Ruyu's hand holding the phone.

He had to care, because the Meiyuan community was exactly where Wang Limei lived.

How could Minghui know?
"It's on fire! I saw your car when I adjusted the surveillance. Why did you go there?" Minghui lowered his voice, "The old cadre—that is, Zang Hongbo. Contact you first to ask about the situation."

Wu Cuo was stunned, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. He asked, "How is the fire? Are there any casualties?"

"A trash collector died, and the identity of the deceased has not been verified yet. Xiaobai is visiting the surrounding residents to see if he knows anyone."

Wu Cuo asked again: "What is the cause of the fire?"

"She was lighting the stove in the hut to keep warm. Probably sparks came out and ignited the hut. The hut collapsed immediately, and people were trapped inside..."

Wu Cuo had seen her flimsy hut, and the wooden sticks supporting the hut were as thick as a human forearm. He wouldn't believe that it could hold people inside.

Furthermore, although Wang Limei is a disabled person, her push against Yan Ruyu just now exposed her strength to the point that she could be suppressed and burned to death... Wu Cuo shook her head slightly, she is a living person , Even if you have some mental problems, don't you run away when you see a fire?
Wu Cuo pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"

Minghui said helplessly: "The old cadre is a hands-off shopkeeper. He can do whatever he tells us to do. Doesn't that mean he didn't say anything... I... just worry about you two."

Wu Cuo didn't want to say it clearly, so he just said: "We did go to the Meiyuan Community to do some errands just now, and saw a one-armed scavenger woman in the depths of the community."

"One-armed! That's right! It's her!" Minghui said.

Wu Cuo sighed, "I saw that she was a disabled person, and she was carrying a big bag in such a cold day. It was not easy, so I went up to help. I didn't expect... We just walked for a while, and the fire broke out. So fast? Burning people to death all at once?"

It's not easy to say clearly that Wu was wrong, but to hint at it.

I don't know if Ming Hui understood his hint, but the silly girl just said: "Boss, the investigation of the fire has not been released yet, I will tell you when I have further news."

Wu Cuo was afraid that she would not be able to understand the situation, so he said again: "You and Xiaobai pay attention to safety, and you must be together when you go out to work, and don't leave alone."

Ming Hui finally understood the meaning behind the words, and asked, "Boss, is something wrong?"

Wu Cuo laughed dryly, "I'm just afraid that you two monkey cubs will get into trouble."

When they hung up the phone, the two had already given up on the hot wontons, and Yan Ruyu drove straight to Wang Jinsong's residence.

Both of them vaguely felt that if Wang Limei's death was man-made, then the next target should be Wang Jinsong.

Yan Ruyu said while driving: "Do you think the behavior of our new team leader is a bit strange?"

"Zang Hongbo? An inaction official like him..."

Yan Ruyu shook her head, "Since we didn't do anything, why did we cover up the fact that we both went to the scene of the crime?"

"what do you mean……"

"It's not easy to say, it just feels...he seems to be protecting us and helping us keep it—you said that we are investigating the secrets of the old case in private, does he already know?"

"Whether he knows it or not, isn't it a good thing that he is willing to keep a secret?"

"hope so."

Wu Cuo frowned, not knowing how to continue this uncertain discussion.There was a moment of silence in the car.

Yan Ruyu drove the car very fast, perhaps because of the cold, his hand holding the steering wheel was a little white, with distinct knuckles.

Wu mistakenly turned up the heater on the car to the maximum, but the car that the city hall can allocate to him as a suspended criminal policeman is really old. .

Expecting a good heating system in such a dying car is overthinking.

The two usually turn the heating knob to the maximum, and then make up the temperature of the heating by themselves - heating is all based on imagination.

Fortunately, Wang Jinsong's home will arrive soon.

Wang Jinsong lives in an old residential area with five floors in total, and his family lives on the second floor.

Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment, and drove the car to a narrow alley behind the community without cameras. The two entered the community by climbing over the wall to avoid the cameras.

When they arrived at the door of Wang Jinsong's house, Wu Cuo knocked on the door, but there was no response.

No way……

Both of them were shocked.

An old man living alone with unfilial children and no one to rely on, it is so late, where else can he go if he is not sleeping at home?Could it have been...

Without saying a word, Wu Cuo took out a piece of wire from his pocket and poked it into the keyhole.He has long been familiar with the way of sliding doors and picking locks.

After a few seconds, the door opened.

In an instant, the two saw the figure lying on the ground.
