Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 359 No Harvest

There was a hint of uncertainty and expectation in Director Wang's voice, hoping to get some useful information from the neighbors.

When the neighbors heard this, they all stopped what they were doing and began to think seriously.

After a while, they all nodded heavily at the same time, confirming Director Wang's question.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the whole scene became more tense and solemn, as if an invisible pressure was hovering in everyone's heart.

Director Wang personally led several staff members, knocked on Qin Huairu's door, and called out Qin Huairu who was busy at home.

At first, Qin Huairu showed a hint of reluctance on his face, as if he was dissatisfied with the sudden interruption.

But then, she felt Director Wang's unquestionable majesty and the expression on her face that was gradually turning cold.

In the end, she managed to calm herself down and followed Director Wang and his group out of the house.

But no one noticed the panic Qin Huairu showed when she walked out of the house.

"Qin Huairu, we need your cooperation now. Please tell us in detail what happened in your house this morning? Why didn't you show up when everyone was outside trying to put out the fire?"

There was a hint of unquestionable seriousness in Director Wang's voice. She stood in front of Qin Huairu, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if they could penetrate her heart.

Qin Huairu was shocked by this momentum. She stopped, took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner turmoil, and then faced the inquiries of the security personnel.

The other person's expression was so serious that Qin Huairu shivered involuntarily, but she quickly adjusted herself, as if the slight fear just now was just a misunderstanding.

"There really isn't anything going on at my house today, but why should I come out to help?"

Qin Huairu shrugged with an indifferent expression on her face, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

That cold look made everyone present couldn't help but click their tongues.

"There are only three of us at home: me, my sister and my daughter. What can we do? Even if I go out, what can I do to help?"

Qin Huairu continued speaking, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in her tone, as if she had lost faith in this world.

Qin Huairu's "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" look made Director Wang so angry that he almost couldn't hold back his anger.

She clenched her fists and tried to control her emotions, but her eyes were flashing with anger.

She wanted to ask Qin Huairu why she was so cold and heartless, but she finally held back because she knew that now was not the time to vent her emotions.

"Aren't you afraid that the fire will spread to your own home? Then you will have no way out!"

A staff member from the Security Department couldn't help but ask, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his tone.

After all, if the fire just now was not controlled in time, the entire courtyard might have been burned to ashes.

However, Qin Huairu just sneered and shook her head sarcastically.

"If you die, you die! Can it be more sad than it is now?"

Her face was filled with despair and helplessness towards life, as if she had lost all expectations and hopes for this world.

Seeing Qin Huairu's hopeless look, everyone fell silent.

They didn't know what to say to comfort her or change her mind.

The security staff asked a few more questions, trying to get more clues from Qin Huairu, but ultimately ruled her out as a suspect of arson.

As the investigation deepened, everyone in the yard was questioned one by one, but it turned out that everyone had an alibi.

This situation gave the security department a headache; they didn't know how to continue the investigation.

This sudden fire not only brought huge losses to the courtyard house, but also made people begin to re-examine their lives and attitudes.

In desperation, the members of the Security Department could only step into Yi Zhonghai's home again, hoping to get some clues from the old man.

They felt extremely heavy-hearted because the situation before them was like an intricate web that was difficult to grasp.

"Uncle Yi, please think carefully again. When you found out that your home was on fire, did you take immediate action? Did you notice any abnormalities or suspicious clues while escaping the fire?"

The head of the security department tried to make his tone sound calm and sincere, hoping to touch the old man's memory.

They knew in their hearts that this was almost their only hope at the moment.

After all, at this critical moment, any tiny bit of information could be the key to solving the case.

However, reality is often more cruel than imagined, and they can only hide the helpless mentality of "try everything possible" in their hearts.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned and tried hard to recall the thrilling scene.

"I was in the house when I suddenly smelled a pungent smell of smoke and realized that my house was on fire. I immediately rushed out of the yard and shouted for help, hoping that the neighbors could help put out the fire. As for the rest, I really didn't notice anything special."

Yi Zhonghai stood aside, his face without any panic or guilt, instead he looked calm and composed.

Obviously, he had already prepared for this moment.

His answers were fluent and natural, as if all of this was a real scene she had experienced personally.

"Yes, I was there and can testify to that. We didn't hear any unusual noises before we discovered the fire. The arsonist was clearly well prepared and left no traces."

Yan Bugui spoke without waiting for the security department to ask.

There was a hint of helplessness and frustration in his tone, and he obviously felt helpless about what to do about this sudden fire.

As the investigation deepened, everyone found themselves in an awkward deadlock.

Due to their lack of experience in on-site firefighting, they failed to protect the evidence and clues at the scene in time.

It is now extremely difficult to find a breakthrough again.

The members of the Security Department looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

They knew that it would be almost impossible to solve the case if they relied solely on the existing information.

However, they could not sit idly by and allow the situation to continue to deteriorate.

At this moment, a bold idea flashed through Director Wang's mind.

"Why don't we call everyone around here and ask them? Maybe we can get some useful information from them."
