This time the fire was not far from where Song Yiqiao was.The victims were a middle-aged couple. The husband worked as a chef in a restaurant, and his wife also worked in a decent company. They had a son. Unfortunately, they died in an accident three years ago, so only their husband and wife Two people live.

According to the neighbors around, the two seem to have plans to have another one recently.

Song Yiqiao stared blankly at the burnt pitch-black wall, the black window was like a monster's mouth wide open, sucking everything in, and the two living lives were also swallowed into the endless darkness.

The night before there was a discussion about how dinner was going to taste, and now there was nothing but burnt houses and dead bodies.

"Why are you here again?"

Anderson, who suddenly appeared, frowned, with a displeased expression on his face: "It's better to have as few dangerous places as possible."

She cheered up and asked: "I heard that the fire was not an accident. I wonder if it has something to do with Mrs. Wallace, so let's take a look."

Anderson glanced at her, but spoke anyway.

"It's relevant, and it's purposeful."

"what happened?"

"An iron card with the number '9' written on it was left at the scene, exactly the same as the previous one."

Song Yiqiao secretly thought about the meaning of "9".

"So have you made any progress?"

"Miss, I can only tell you so much." Anderson waved his hand, "The rest of the work belongs to internal intelligence, all you need to do now is to wait for the news at home. We will solve the case as soon as possible and let the truth come to light. "

Song Yiqiao knew that it was impossible to get any more useful clues from the other party, so she gave up on further questioning, and left the scene of the incident after saying goodbye.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I bumped into a familiar figure.

Redhead, medium build, averted eyes—

"It's you……"

"Shh!"

The man made a quiet gesture and lowered his voice, "I think I know who the criminal is."

Sarah Cafe.

After the two ordered their drinks, they suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Song Yiqiao first said sincerely: "It was my fault before, and I want to say sorry to you."

"...Forget it, the matter is over, but you are really strong enough." He touched his injured cheek with lingering fear, and joked like a joke.

Song Yiqiao laughed.

"Hello, my name is Song Yiqiao, you can call me Joe."

"My name is Carl."

The two were relieved and nodded in a friendly manner.

"Then let's get to the point. Do you know any clues about the murderer?"

"I know him."

"he?"

"Yes, that bastard Klaus..." Carl's eyes revealed a bit of disdain, "He is my high school classmate. I hadn't heard from him for a long time, but two years ago we met again because of work. .”

"you mean--"

"Yes, we've all worked in a restaurant, and sadly, the head chef has been killed by this fire."

Song Yiqiao's heart skipped a beat: "Is it possible to guess that Mrs. Wallace used to be his teacher?"

"clever."

The conversation between the two was suddenly interrupted, and the waiter put the drink in front of the two, and left with a plate and a tip.

Song Yiqiao took a sip of the milkshake and asked, "Why are you telling me this? What I mean is, we've been hiding our secrets. Even if it's to help solve the case, we should tell the police."

"Don't be kidding. I just came out of it two days ago. Those guys won't believe a rascal who talks nonsense." He curled his lips.

"Then why me?" Song Yiqiao looked straight at him.

Carl rubbed his fingers against the wall of the coffee cup, hesitated for a while, then raised his head suddenly: "I heard that Mrs. Wallace's family died in the fire, and I happened to remember that Lawrence said that if he had the chance, he would definitely sell the hated Everyone was burned, the first being Mrs. Wallace, because she had humiliated Lawrence in public."

"Like heretics burned at the gallows," he added.

"How can you be sure he's the murderer?"

"It's simple."

Carl smiled wryly: "I saw that damn bastard in the cemetery. He stood far away, smiling very proudly, you know, like an evil devil! I was going to catch up, but... "

"In the end, I was disturbed instead."

Song Yi Jo blushed at his own stupidity.

She never imagined that she did something bad with good intentions, not only preventing the other party from catching the criminal, but also causing Karl to take a few punches.

so embarrassing...

"But I originally planned to catch the current one by myself, but I don't know my identity. It would be terrible if I was caught by the police first. I saw that you seem to be very concerned about the case, so I disclosed the news to you." He took a sip Coffee, poked my head with my finger, "It's useless here for a long time, it's not very good. Lawrence has no fixed place, and I can't be contacted. I really don't know what to do. I think you should be better than me." a little."

Song Yiqiao felt a heavy responsibility, she thought carefully for a while, and asked, "When did you part?"

"About last spring, he suddenly resigned and haven't seen him since."

"Tell me about his physical characteristics and living habits. By the way, do you think he still has goals?"

Karl said everything he knew, and at the end, he glanced at Song Yiqiao, then lowered his head: "As for the target, I can only think of one person."

"Who?"

"Nina, it's the girl he has liked for four years who humiliated him in public."

"you……"

Noticing Song Yiqiao's cautious eyes, he sighed and admitted in frustration: "Okay, okay, Nina is very beautiful, there is no one who doesn't like her."

Song Yiqiao decided to find a breakthrough here.

……

She found Nina's location through Carl's information, and it was already late at this time.The weather forecast recently reported that there would be no rain in London for several days, so despite the dark sky, there was no sign of rain.

Song Yiqiao suspected that the murderer would take advantage of the weather to continue committing crimes.

The apartment was very narrow, and there were few passers-by in the surrounding streets. The dim light shone on the ground, leaving a slightly swaying reflection.

On the one hand, she had to overcome the fear in her heart, and on the other hand, she had to carefully examine the surrounding layout to prepare for what might happen in the future.

Sudden.

Song Yiqiao's footsteps stopped, and he immediately hid in an inconspicuous corner.I saw a sneaky man passing through the street corner with a huge backpack on his back, his expression could not be seen clearly under the shadow.

As if sensing a change, the other party suddenly cast a vigilant gaze on where Song Yiqiao was.

She retracted her head subconsciously, not daring to stick it out.Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, so fast that she seemed to jump out of her throat. Her body was stiff and her legs were trembling. She could only desperately restrain her urge to run away.

It took a while for the gaffe to fade away.

Song Yiqiao took out the spare switchblade and held it in his hand, and tiptoed past the side of the house.She turned a corner, heard rustling noises, and poked her head out carefully——

The man turned his back to her, and took out a bunch of things from his backpack and placed them in a good position. Song Yiqiao didn't know what they were, but she could see clearly: the man was holding a lighter in his hand.

lighter!

Seeing that the lighter clicked and burst into flames, it was obvious that the murderer was going to set the ignited object on fire, she couldn't hold back, and rushed forward with a switchblade: "Stop!"

"Whoa-"

The fire spread instantly. When the man heard her voice, he was so frightened that he dropped the lighter and ran away without even turning his head.

Song Yiqiao originally wanted to rush up, but suddenly remembered something, and his steps stopped abruptly.She stared at the back of the arsonist fleeing quickly, and cursed angrily.

—Forget it, the most important thing right now is the safety of Nina and the others.

Song Yiqiao rushed to the door and slammed on their door: "It's on fire! Wake up!"

……

The fire truck arrived in time and did not cause too much damage. Nina turned pale and kept thanking Song Yiqiao.

"You are very nervous now, you should rest first."

Song Yiqiao watched her husband take his wife to a side bench and sit down. Turning around, she suddenly found something thrown to the ground in a panic.

She picked it up, it was an iron card with the number "7" written on it impressively.

Song Yiqiao's face darkened.

... She seemed to understand the meaning of the numbers.
