The fiery light overflowed into the heavens as the bright red flames illuminated the entire night.
There was a shortage of rain in the northern part of China, this fire had completely lit up the mountains around the Water Mirror Village. Although a lot of fire trucks and helicopters had been thrown in to spread the fire, the fire only died down after three days and three nights, burning away all the mountains around Water Mirror Village.
This huge fire shocked all the villages in the vicinity of Water Mirror Village. It had even spread to some of the heads in the Yanjing. However, from beginning to end, other than the officials trying to put out the fire, they did not reveal anything about the cause of this incident. Everyone had chosen to remain silent and only repeatedly mourned for the dead.
It was as if the silence before the storm was to wait for the arrival of a bigger thunderstorm, when everyone was pressured by this matter to the point that they couldn't breathe. A row of black Audi A6 with an official's license plate appeared at the Water Mirror Village's village entrance. The indiscernible black color caused the surrounding villagers' hearts to constrict, making it hard to breathe.
After staying in this desolate little mountain village for exactly three days, the South Zhang County Criminal Police squad's Chang Zhongchui had a kind of heartbreaking feeling that he had never felt in his entire thirty years of working life. Every time he looked at Water Mirror Village, it was as if a heavy rock had pressed down on his heart, making it harder for him to breathe because of the smoke.
This army was born to veterans who had once participated in the Old Mountain War. After being demobilized and transferred to another profession, they had experienced countless terrifying battles between police officers and had also seen countless tragic scenes. However, when his gaze landed on Water Mirror Village, his legs unconsciously trembled, to the point that he did not even notice the scorching sensation of his pants being burned to shreds.
He was too tired. However, the exhaustion in his body could not compare to the exhaustion in his heart.
Water Mirror Village suffered from a huge fire. When the firemen rushed to this remote mountain village, the fire had already reached a point where there was no way to clean up the place. Furthermore, none of the Water Mirror Village's leaders were able to escape from such a strange place. With the media spreading the news, the county's leaders were not suitable for them to appear in such a place.
He had visited this village during his previous investigations in the countryside, but now the beautiful little mountain village had disappeared, and the villagers who had warmly received him with a faint smile had turned to ashes in the fire.
"That's it, what kind of man-made evildoer would do such a vicious thing?!" Chang Zhongchui took a deep breath and extinguished his cigarette on the ground, he turned and looked at the small mountain village that was razed to the ground and asked.
He could not forget the appearance of the corpses of the villagers he had brought out from the village. Those people were definitely not burned to death, but they had already died before the fire even occurred. With his many years of forensic experience, he was certain that this was an act of man-made violence. However, no matter how much he tried to convey it, no one expressed any opinion about his words.
"You mischievous b * stard, all of you are just a bunch of guys that don't get involved in human affairs!" It's too late for anything now! " Chang Zhongchui turned his head and looked at the group of black Audi cars, and muttered. Of course, he could only imagine in his heart that anyone who could create such a grand show of things, just by standing out, could crush him like he was an ant.
Inside the Audi, Shen Lingfeng looked at Water Mirror Village, who was covered in smoke and embers, with an indescribable sadness. The secretary beside him didn't dare to say anything. He knew that although the director looked gentle and refined, indifferent to everything other than the interests of the country, he actually cared a lot about the people around him.
Everyone in the Fortune Telling Agency knew of Chief Shen Lingfeng's methods, they had all learned them from this small mountain village at the northern border of China. If it wasn't for the fact that Fortune Telling Agency had invited him, he might have even become the first village chief with another surname.
"Did you find anything?" After getting off the car, Shen Lingfeng ignored the crowd that surrounded him and walked alone towards the village entrance where Chang Zhongchui was silently smoking.
Before Chang Zhongchui could say anything, the City Fire Department's Bureau Chief Liu, who was closely following Shen Lingfeng, had a fawning smile on his fat face as he said softly, "Director Shen, we have almost found the ignition point and it has already been extinguished. We have basically done it to the extent that there won't be another fire.
"Almost? "Basically?" Shen Lingfeng's face was frosted over as he turned his head to look at Commissioner Liu and said in a cold voice, "If you can only do the words' roughly 'and' basic ', then I don't care if you're wearing this set of tiger skin!"
Commissioner Liu was embarrassed. Looking at the young man before him, who was around ten years younger than him, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. He had never heard of a department that would let a young man like this be their leader. However, the documents issued by the National Security Agency were genuine and could not help but cause him to be anxious.
"These villagers were not burned to death, but they were killed before the fire. We have also found the bodies of several foreign men in the fire, whose identities have not yet been identified, but I am sure they are the planners of this tragic case! " After hearing that Shen Lingfeng had scolded Chief Liu, Chang Zhongchui's worries slightly dissipated. He took out a mouthful of smoke and spoke softly.
Shen Lingfeng's heart hurt, and he said: "Bring me to see those dead bodies!"
Seeing the white cloth spread out in front of him, Shen Lingfeng's heart suddenly hurt, as if a pair of large, powerful hands had pinched him.
The corpses had long been burnt to a crisp, but from the wounds on the necks of the corpses and the wounds on their chests and stomachs, it was clear that these people must have suffered from inhuman torture before they died.
"All the men, women and children in the village have died, not a single one is left alive. Furthermore, the wounds on their bodies were all fatal. Based on my experience on the battlefield in the Old Mountain, those murderers should be well-trained soldiers or mercenaries! " Chang Zhongchui looked at Shen Lingfeng and softly said, "I will do my best to find those main culprits!"
Shen Lingfeng nodded and did not say a word, but he felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. Chang Zhongchui didn't know, but he knew very well how strong Sima Qingfeng's methods were in the Water Mirror Village. If the old man who taught him the art of cultivation was unable to protect the village, then even if Chang Zhongchui used all of his methods, he would still be able to find those murderer who set fire to the village.
A group of police officers rushed over, one of them shouting loudly, "Captain Chang, someone has come to see her! She is the one who went out to do some work for Water Mirror Village two days ago, and has just returned!"
"Bring me there!" When Shen Lingfeng and Chang Zhongchui heard this, their hearts trembled as they spoke in unison.
After the two of them ran over, they saw a girl in black down jacket blocking the entrance of Water Mirror Village village. The girl's face was covered in tears, and her cries were heart-wrenching.
"Let me in, I'm from Water Mirror Village, I'm Sima Yilan!" The girl was pushing and shoving the policemen who were holding her back. From the corner of her mouth, it could be seen that her mind could no longer take such a heavy blow!
Chang Zhongchui frowned, he stared at the few policemen and shouted: "What are you pushing, let go of him, if it wasn't for your relatives, would this young lady be crying like this?!"
"Yi Lan, you are Yi Lan!" Shen Lingfeng looked at the girl in front of him, and after pondering for a moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He quickly walked to the girl, extended his hand out to support her tottering body, and said with a trembling voice: "I am your big brother, Yi Lan, don't panic!"
"Shen Lingfeng?!" Sima Yilan unbelievably opened his eyes wide as he stared at Shen Lingfeng's face. His face was filled with an expression of joy that he had not seen for a long time, but before she could react, his body went limp and he fell into Shen Lingfeng's embrace.
Before the accident in Water Mirror Village, an old friend of Sima Qingfeng in NanZhang County passed away. Sima Yilan went to mourn on behalf of his grandfather, but never thought that he could escape from this calamity. When she saw on TV that the Water Mirror Village was on fire and rushing to the Water Mirror Village day and night, she was extremely exhausted. Furthermore, when she saw that all the small and small people in the Water Mirror Village had died and then suddenly see Shen Lingfeng, her mind couldn't take it anymore!
"You guys don't need to care about this matter anymore, just leave. Our people will take over now!" Glancing at Sima Yilan in his arms, Shen Lingfeng turned his head to look at him and said in a low voice, "Find the best doctor for me and arrange a few tents and daily necessities for me. If you find anything else, come and find me immediately!"
Chang Zhongchui looked at Shen Lingfeng's resolute eyes and nodded. When he reached the entrance of the village, relying on his alertness from the war, he could already see the items in the Audi A6, and knew that the matters in the Water Mirror Village had probably exceeded his understanding, so without hesitation, he bowed to Shen Lingfeng, turned and led the rest away!
"Killing and arson, unforgivable evil, do you people really want to fight to the death with our Chinese phase technique Realm?!" Shen Lingfeng raised his head and looked at the smoke on the mountain ridges that was still drifting, and said coldly.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Lin Bai. Maybe only that man could help him resolve this troublesome situation!
