To confirm whether it was Le Yao, Ruan Yunxi specifically asked the soldier on duty at the gate.
"When did Comrade Le Yao return to her family compound from the seaside?"
The soldier on duty knew Le Yao. He had watched yesterday's performance and knew that Le Yao was the lead dancer. She was beautiful and tall, and most importantly, she was unmarried!
The woman in front of them, Comrade Ruan, was their sister-in-law. In their eyes, no matter how beautiful she was, she was already taken, so they naturally didn't want to pay too much attention to her.
Unmarried lesbians are different.
"It's around 3:10."
Ruan Yunxi continued, "Do you know which way she went after she entered the family compound?"
Believe it or not, the soldier actually knew.
He nodded and pointed to the road leading to the small residential compound: "She walked that way."
Ruan Yunxi didn't expect that she would find clues so easily.
Ruan Yunxi smiled: "Thank you. If anyone comes looking for you, please tell them the truth."
Soldier: "??? What happened?"
Ruan Yunxi nodded, but couldn't say more, for fear of leaking information.
Once it was confirmed that it was Le Yao, what else could Ruan Yunxi say?
Of course, we should catch the murderer!
The arsonist should be punished as he deserves.
There is a security team in the family compound. Ruan Yunxi originally wanted to report it to the police, but then she thought that this was a military matter and it was not appropriate to involve the police at this time.
Ruan Yunxi went to see Political Commissar Li, who was in charge of these trivial matters.
When he needs to step in, Ruan Yunxi will definitely not leave him out.
"Political Commissar, you almost didn't get to see me again!" Ruan Yunxi exclaimed dramatically.
Political Commissar Li stared wide-eyed at Ruan Yunxi, who was completely unharmed, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Ruan Yunxi said with lingering fear: "If it weren't for the reminder from the women in the family building, and if it weren't for Sister-in-law Sheng's help, I would have been burned to death by arson."
Political Commissar Li was shocked: "Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?"
Ruan Yunxi shook her head: "Luckily, I'm alive. My sisters-in-law discovered me in time and saved me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been disfigured, if not killed. I never imagined that Comrade Le Yao would be so ruthless, actually plotting to kill me and trying to burn me alive."
Political Commissar Li: "How did you know it was Comrade Le Yao?"
"This was found at the scene." Ruan Yunxi took out the bracelet, which Le Yao had obtained from the Yonghe Temple before. It was engraved with the initials of her name: LY.
Political Commissar Li's face darkened: "These two letters don't mean anything?"
“I also asked the soldier on duty, and he said that he saw Comrade Le Yao at 3:10 and she went to the small house. My yard caught fire at around 3:10 and was discovered around 3:20.”
"Political Commissar, do you think it's really such a coincidence?" Ruan Yunxi exclaimed dramatically, "What if such a big fire burned down our house and burned me down?"
Without saying a word, Political Commissar Li wanted to go and see the scene.
Ruan Yunxi led them to her home, where the courtyard walls, scorched by the fire, were still completely black.
The burned flowers and plants haven't been buried yet.
The ashes were still piled up to the side.
After realizing that Le Yao might have deliberately set the fire, Ruan Yunxi stopped touching the burned items.
The purpose was to let people see the scene.
Political Commissar Li saw it and noticed that the soot from the fire was almost reaching outside the bedroom window. If he had discovered it any later, the small house would have indeed burned down.
Not only did I visit the site, but I also asked the woman in the family building about her situation.
The sisters-in-law's responses were roughly the same as what Ruan Yunxi had said.
The sister-in-law asked curiously, "Didn't you say it was spontaneous combustion? Why does it seem like you're trying to find the arsonist?"
"Someone set the fire?"
These words are like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil; they explode immediately.
The other women couldn't help but chime in, asking, "Who put this out?"
"That's so cruel!"
"What deep-seated hatred could drive someone to burn people alive?"
"It can't be..." The sisters-in-law exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with schadenfreude as they looked at Ruan Yunxi.
They had long disliked Ruan Yunxi, finding her capitalist-lady-like demeanor too offensive.
Whether it's their clothing or the way they look at people, they always seem to have eyes on the top of their heads.
What's with the arrogance? Aren't they all military wives?
