Chapter 47 Restaurant Fire

"This is the informant's photo. Have you seen it?"

Wan Qianhong clicked on a photo on her mobile phone. Although the man's mental outlook on the screen had changed, the beard covering his entire chin was still very distinctive.

Xu Yuan looks familiar.

"It turns out your informant is him. There's no need to wait. We can't wait."

"What accident happened to him?"

"Remember the cleaner I just told you about? He was stabbed in the head by a mop and died. 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 at Arkham Hospital, and couldn't help but smile.

"How about... you take over the informant's job?"

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

However, Wan Qianhong showed her ID to the police sergeant who sent the police, and the sergeant saluted her directly. Then, without asking any questions, she and Xu Yuan were allowed to move around the crime scene freely.

There was a figure in the flames, and his whole body was covered in flames. He let out painful wails and rolled around on the ground, which also intensified the spread of the flames.

The efficiency is quite high.

The fire either came from flammable gas leaking from the restaurant's pipes or something, or it suddenly came out of the deceased's body, except this time it wasn't the shoulder.

About ten minutes later, Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong returned to the Old Friends Party Restaurant one after another. At this time, the fire in the restaurant had been put out due to timely control.

"This person must be dead..."

"How did the fire start?"

The deceased's first reaction was to take a step back, but the hooded man took a step forward reluctantly, and then the deceased shook hands with the hooded man in a semi-helpless manner.

The restaurant employees all looked ugly.

"I'm envious. With your status, even the police can easily deal with you."

Guests at the restaurant were also kept for routine questioning.

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

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong looked at each other.

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

In just a few seconds, the intense heat turned a stranger into a complete acquaintance, and he was so familiar that he was completely charred.

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

The camera facing outward at the door of the restaurant captured the entire contact between the deceased and the suspected target.

"I don't know."

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

The two hands were held together for less than a second.

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

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

"Go and ask the people who were present at the time why they were avoiding the hooded man, what the hooded man said to the deceased, and whether there was any quarrel."

But when they ran outside the restaurant, they could no longer find anyone.

There was no need for verbal communication. Instead of walking through the main entrance of the restaurant and jostling with the diners, the two of them climbed directly through the window and came outside the restaurant.

There was only a burnt corpse lying quietly on the ground.

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

"I was just taking an order for this customer, and there was nothing unusual when I placed the order. After I finished ordering, I turned around and within a few steps, this person was on fire all over his body."

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

Xu Yuan first complained and then got back to the topic.

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

It's the palm of your hand.

The police arrived as soon as they were told.

Police cars sounded their sirens and cordoned off the scene.

All personal belongings were completely burned, which made it difficult to identify the deceased.

"Ah! It's on fire——"

The suspected target did not even change his appearance. He was still wearing the same clothes and hood that appeared in the 29-second video.

Wan Qianhong nodded in approval: "There were no flammable substances such as alcohol on the deceased. Normally, even if all his clothes were on fire, the flames would reach the sky at a few hundred degrees."

Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong also ran out of the restaurant through the window at this time, and went in two directions to find the whereabouts of the hooded man, but they were still a step too late.

All in silence.

It can be seen that although the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau to which Wan Qianhong belongs has not appeared publicly in front of the public, it still has PY transactions behind the scenes with the police who also maintain urban order, and there is a tacit understanding.

Caused a fire in the restaurant.

"Similarly, neither have I."

Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong are also included.

The flames appeared in the palms and then quickly spread all over the body.

"Ahhhh——"

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

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

The hooded man walked up to the deceased and stretched out his hand.

The deceased rubbed his palms on his pants with a suspicious look on his face, and then walked into the restaurant with a normal expression. Less than four minutes later, flames suddenly appeared on his body.

As expected.

Next, the police went to see the surveillance camera, and Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong also followed.

The spontaneous combustion of the man in the restaurant was exactly the same as what happened in the 29-second video. Both Xu Yuan and Wan Qianhong judged that it was most likely caused by the hooded passerby in the video.

"I didn't find anyone suspicious."

The diners in the restaurant ran out one after another, and the clerks fetched several hand-held fire extinguishers in a mess to extinguish the flames from unknown sources.

This is an invitation to shake hands.

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

However, it only took a few seconds for the man to stop moving.

And it came to the scene with an ambulance, but no medical diagnosis was needed. Anyone who was not blind could see that the ambulance's trip was in vain.

Then, the hooded suspect walked over from the direction where the deceased was looking, and other people around him chose to avoid him in unison for some unknown reason.

Wan Qianhong turned to look at the police chief and gave orders in a commanding tone.

"Oh my God, why did this suddenly catch fire?"

"Go and adjust the surveillance. Anyway, we'll have to check the surveillance when the police come..."

Just then, a commotion broke out in the restaurant.

The subconscious frown showed disgust.

Although the camera at the entrance of the restaurant has a recording module, the nearby environment is too noisy. The noise of other guests talking and the sound of cars driving across the road are mixed together, completely covering up the conversation between the deceased and the hooded man.

The police sergeant did not shirk or be impatient at all, and quickly got the answer from the restaurant guests who were left for routine questioning.
