"Did you see anything unusual when the incident happened? The window on this side can just see that side."

"No," the man paused and asked, "By the way, officer, have you found out the reason why the man suddenly burned?"

"Still investigating."

When he finally left Jinsen's house, Gao Cheng walked to the intersection and couldn't help but look back.

This man is too suspicious, but there is nothing to explain until the matter is clear. All the people around here are suspects, and it is impossible to testify against anyone without finding out the cause of the fire.

After standing for a while, Gao Cheng collected his thoughts and walked to the next house.

...

The next day, when Gao Cheng questioned the little girl who saw the red line, a police car stopped on the side of the street, and Nei Hai got out of the car with a serious face.

"The information you asked me to investigate came out. The reading volunteer is named Tatsuo Kanemori, 42 years old, and works in a nearby metal processing factory..."

Nei Hai stuffed a stack of documents to Gao Cheng, and said angrily, "You pretended to be a policeman and asked someone to question you in private, do you know this is illegal?!"

"I didn't say I was a policeman, I just said I was helping Police Officer Neihai to investigate."

"You! I'm going to be hurt by you..."

"It's not a big deal."

After flipping through the information, Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Compared to this, you should think about what to do with my commission fee. My fee is very expensive."

"Eh? Eh!"

Nei Hai was stunned for a moment, then realized that he hastily caught up with Gao Cheng: "No, let's just pretend that I didn't mention this case, okay? I don't have any money..."

"Have you ever heard of a famous detective who quit halfway?"

"I beg you!"

Nei Hai was so anxious that he almost burst into tears, and grabbed Gao Cheng tightly: "My sister really has no money, and it's not enough to pay off the mortgage."

"Can you write a report to apply for funding?"

"Do you think it's that easy to apply for funding?"

Inner Sea entangled Gao Cheng's arm like an octopus, refusing to let go no matter what.

Gao Cheng couldn't get away after talking, so he stopped and said, "You really don't think about it? Now you are only one step away from the truth."

"Eh? You already know?"

"Not yet, but it's only a matter of time before we find out the truth. What the little girl saw was not a red line, but a red laser..."

Holding a piece of cardboard, Gao Cheng roughly drew a map of the area, including the location of the incident, the location where the little girl saw the red line, and several intersections.

Standing seriously under the corner mirror at an intersection, a black hole similar to the scene of the crime appeared in Gao Cheng's sight on the warning sign, and there were also several scorched black marks on the pillar of the corner mirror.

"It really isn't that simple..."

Gao Cheng looked up at the hole on the warning sign, and then at Yingchuan at the end of the street.

Returning the materials in his hand to Nei Hai who was following him, he took out a few pieces of chocolate from his pocket and ate a few pieces. Gao Cheng pressed his brows and sank into deep thought, his brain running rapidly into the one-minute mode.

No need for cardboard, the virtual model of the entire area easily emerged in Gaocheng's mind, and the details and clues flashed again and again. Utsumi's explanation, the conversations of nearby neighbors including Kanemori Tatsuo, countless pictures shuttled around Gaocheng, and finally all converged together.

In the block model, several red lines start from the scene of the incident at the side of Sakura River and extend back.

The nipples of the statuettes...

The pierced eyes of stone ducks in the river...

Bulletin boards, advertisements, telephone poles...

Red lines converged on the pillars of the corner mirror, and there seemed to be something installed there originally, a mirror that could reflect laser light.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Neihai asked anxiously.

"Over there!" Gao Cheng ignored Nei Hai's shout, and suddenly turned his head to look at the alley on the other side of the corner.

The same red line extends from the warning sign on the corner mirror post, and falls directly on the street lamp on the other side, where there is a metal processing factory, which happens to be where Tatsuo Kanemori works.

Gao Cheng's eyes tightened for a moment, seeing half of a minute passed in a blink of an eye, he left Nei Hai and ran to the street lamp in a hurry.

The same number of red lines extend through the windows on the roof of the factory and into the interior.

The metal processing plant was still working, and many workers beside the huge machine tools were cutting and welding, sparks were flying everywhere, and the sound was quite harsh.

The factory manager received Nei Hai, wiping off his sweat: "What's the matter with the police coming to our place?"

"This," Nei Hai looked at Gao Cheng, "is to investigate a case..."

"That delinquent boy was burned to death?"

"Uh……"

Gao Cheng walked around the workshop alone in Neihai's response room, his eyes swept across the steel frame on the roof of the workshop, and he could clearly see a few black spots.

"Speaking of this," the employee behind a nearby machine tool saw Gao Cheng and asked, "it shouldn't have anything to do with us, right?"

Gao Cheng turned around and found that it happened to be Tatsuo Kanemori who had talked with him yesterday.

"Huh? Does Mr. Kanemori work here?"

"Yeah, I usually do volunteer get off work after work," Tatsuo Kanemori forced a smile, "Have you found out the cause of the fire in the human body? It should be because of the fireworks, right?"

"The fireworks still can't burn like that," Gao Cheng pondered. "It may be a supernatural phenomenon, and it has happened in some places."

"Really?" Ryuo Jinsen laughed, "There is no way to investigate this way."

"There is no way. Even so, we can only continue the investigation. Unless the same natural fire occurs in the same place, the investigation can be concluded, otherwise there is no way to write a report."

Gao Cheng sighed helplessly, pulled Nei Hai to leave and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, if you find anything, please contact the police."

"Wait!" Nei Hai was confused and dragged out of the factory by Gao Cheng, angrily said, "You're pretending to be a policeman again! Sister, I'm the policeman, okay?!"

"When did I pretend to be a policeman?" Gao Cheng said inexplicably, "It was you who showed them the ID."

"But the way you speak... is it that everyone will misunderstand you as a policeman? You can't write a report even if you say so."

"I'm not wrong, if you don't investigate clearly, you can't write a report."

Nei Hai twitched his brows fiercely: "Sister, don't bother with you! What about the truth? What did you find out? Why are you talking about supernatural phenomena? If you don't explain it clearly, you don't want to get the commission fee!"

"Is there really a commission fee?"

Gao Cheng coughed lightly, and explained as he walked: "I can't actually verify it, but if it's correct, the murderer should be that Jinsen Tatsuo."

"Kimson Dragon Man?"

"Wait until your police catch someone. I just provoked him. He should show his feet soon in the past few days." Gao Cheng added the metal processing factory on the wooden map, and specially marked the inflection points , by the way mark the route of the laser. 2k reading network
