Chapter 1003: Admitting Arson
Chapter 1003: Admitting Arson
There are soldiers on duty at the gate of Courtyard No. 2, and Courtyard No. 1 opposite is the dormitory for the soldiers patrolling the cycling team.
As soon as there was any movement outside, the soldiers came out.
It’s full of security!
So Ye Shu was not panicked at all, because before she could get close to Ye Shu, she was stopped by the soldiers of the cycling team.
Since the way forward was blocked by her, Ye Shu changed his route and walked through the gate of the garrison area.
It's not much of a distance anyway.
As for the fact that Sun Xiaozhao's mother came to her and went crazy, although she felt surprised, she was not very surprised.
Because Sun Xiaozhao has been taken away by the authorities.
As for Sun Xiaozhao being taken away, apart from the Sun family themselves who could not accept it, the neighbors around Changjie didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact they all applauded in private.
This story has to start from last night.
Nowadays, people don’t have much entertainment activities at night. They just eat dinner, do housework, enjoy the cool air, wash up, and then go to bed.
Just when I was having a sound sleep, a whistle suddenly sounded outside.
Someone shouted, "Fire! Fire!"
Everyone who was sleeping soundly got up when they heard the noise. After all, there were many families living in one courtyard these days, and their houses were next to each other. Things were piled up inside and outside the courtyard and the houses, and they were also crowded together. A fire was no small matter!
Ye Shu and Huo Yisheng had good hearing and got up the moment the noise was heard.
Ye Shu also had a keen sense of smell, and even through the half-open window at night, he could smell the smell of burnt smoke in the air.
The noise was not far away, so everyone in Yard 2 came out.
Mrs. Jin: "What's going on? Whose house is on fire?"
Zhao Jinhua was a gossiper. When others were looking around in the yard or at the gate, she had already rushed out to gather information.
After a while, the people came back and naturally brought back the news: "There's a fire in Courtyard No. 7!"
Mrs. Jin: "I think that direction is Courtyard 7. What happened?"
Zhao Jinhua: "I don't know. I think it was the coal briquettes and some other debris they had piled up behind the house that caught fire! Oh, the Ma family's house was on fire!"
After hearing this, everyone remembered that Ma Dasao had framed their children and falsely accused them of burning down her house, but in the end the fire didn't get too big.
But now it really caught fire?
Look at the fire... it's deadly. It's a blessing that no one is hurt!
They didn't go to help because Huo Yisheng and his men had already taken the cycling team to put out the fire.
An hour later, the men returned exhausted.
But the Huo Yisheng brothers did not come back, and Ye Shu and Mrs. Tang were very worried.
Lao Ren was afraid that they would worry, so he quickly explained: "Don't worry, Captain Huo and the commander are all fine, they just have some things that need to be dealt with immediately."
The women didn't ask.
Mrs. Jin was just curious: "How badly did the fire in Yard 7 burn? Was anyone injured?"
Lao Ren: "Aunt Gu fell and probably broke her leg. She has been sent to the hospital. The others are fine, probably just a few scratches."
"There was a row of houses that burned down, but the houses next to it were fine."
Hearing this, everyone gasped: "How could the fever be so severe?"
Lao Ren: "Preliminary judgment is that it was an open fire that burned coal and firewood."
The other old men didn't say anything more: "Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back to bed."
Ye Shu asked Mrs. Tang: "Please help me take care of the children later."
She was worried that the health center would come and call her over.
Sure enough, just as she changed into her pajamas, someone from the clinic came to call her: "Doctor Ye! There is an operation that needs you to perform!"
"The patient fell and a fracture is suspected, but her clinical reaction is very strong, so it is difficult to determine whether it is a fracture or a broken bone."
Ye Shu: "Have you finished filming?"
The health centers in the garrison areas are now well-equipped.
The nurse said, "She doesn't want to have the photo taken, saying it's too expensive."
Ye Shu didn't say anything more and walked out.
Mrs. Tang was the only one in her family, so it was Old Ren who finally spoke:
"I'll take care of your child. I'm doing some boxing in the yard. Captain Huo should be back soon, so don't bother moving the child around."
Because we all agreed that when there are only children at home at night, there must be someone from each family to watch over them.
With her watching and so many people in the yard, Ye Shu naturally felt at ease.
It was indeed Aunt Gu who asked Ye Shu to work overtime to perform the surgery. She did have a fracture, but the pain was so sharp and her howling was so loud that people mistakenly thought she had a broken bone.
By the time Ye Shu and Huo Yisheng returned home, it was already late at night.
Only then did Ye Shu realize that Huo Yisheng and his men had caught the arsonist.
It was someone Ye Shu never expected, a child of only eight or nine years old, Sun Xiaozhao.
Huo Yisheng and his friends did not hide this matter, so the next day, everyone in the courtyards near Changjie knew about it. Sun Xiaozhao had set fire to the house in Courtyard No. 7 at night, causing Aunt Gu to break her leg and many people to suffer minor skin injuries.
The Sun family will naturally be held accountable.
Ye Shu was surprised: "Have you been monitoring him since early morning?"
Otherwise, how could we catch him so quickly?
Huo Yisheng: "Yes, last time you told me that there was something wrong with this kid from the Sun family, I had someone follow him secretly."
"They were careless tonight, thinking he would stay at home and not come out. They couldn't keep a close eye on him, so they patrolled the area and then temporarily withdrew."
"I didn't expect that it was this evacuation that allowed him to seize the opportunity."
Ye Shu couldn't understand: "Why did he set fire to Courtyard No. 7?"
Huo Yisheng didn't have an answer yet: "I don't know. I'll interrogate you tomorrow."
"While our comrades were fighting the fire, he was standing by and watching. At first, because it was dark, no one paid attention to him."
"It was only when he suddenly started talking, clapping his hands and saying it was funny, that people asked him what was funny."
"He admitted it himself and said setting fires was fun."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
A neighbor asked again: "Are you saying setting fires is fun? Did you set this fire?"
He nodded in agreement excitedly.
This matter was immediately reported to Huo Yisheng, who then had him taken away.
Just then, the data he requested from his superiors for testing for psychological illnesses arrived.
It's not suitable for outsiders to come to their place, so you can only study the information yourself and then take the test.
If Huo Yisheng is sure that he really has a mental illness, he must be sent to the capital immediately.
If he doesn't have a mental illness, then we need to carefully investigate his motives for doing this.
Huo Yisheng would never look down on someone just because he was a child.
