Just as they were about to send out a large number of detectives to look for him, they received a call from the police.
"Team Leader Wang, someone just called to complain that a few kids in a nearby neighborhood set a trash can on fire, setting off an alarm. Now the residents want to find the culprit, and they want us to check the surveillance footage."
Team leader Wang couldn't help but frown. "Are these kids too bold? Setting the trash can on fire is a big deal. Now is the early spring. If other places catch fire, it will be a big deal. Bring people to deal with it immediately."
The police officer agreed and rushed to the community with several members of his team.
As soon as I entered the community, I was surrounded by several middle-aged women.
These aunties were very sharp-tongued and scolded those naughty kids severely.
"Officers, you must catch the murderer. They set the trash can on fire in the middle of the day, setting off an alarm. We were almost scared to death in our sleep. Please help us check the surveillance to see whose child it is so that we can discipline him as soon as possible."
When they saw that there were more than a dozen people affected by this incident, several detectives became uneasy and worried that someone would hurt the children, so they immediately rushed to the scene.
However, when they arrived at the scene, not only the naughty child, but even the trash can had been burned to ashes, and even the alarm could not be found.
"Such a big fire? This burned the entire dumpster."
A constable opened his mouth wide, feeling a little unbelievable.
Another person observed more carefully: "Something is wrong. If the fire was so big, why is there no sign of burning on the grass less than ten centimeters away? Isn't this too weird?"
After hearing this, the surrounding residents also discovered this magical thing.
It was very strange that the trash can was emitting so much smoke, but the lawn not far away showed no signs of burning at all.
At this moment, several detectives were about to go to the security room to check the surveillance footage, when they suddenly saw the shadow of a child flash by in the stairwell on the right.
One of the detectives responded with a conditioned reflex: "You little bastard, you were the one who set the trash can on fire, right? You still want to run! Stop right there!"
After shouting, the constable subconsciously paid attention to the staircase.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. The remaining residents were all helpless and vowed to catch the naughty kid.
We need to see who this naughty kid is from. He even dared to set a trash can on fire.
Everyone rushed in, only to see the constable standing at the stairs leading to the basement.
And he still had a confused look on his face, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Zhu Tao, what are you doing? Where is the child?"
A constable asked.
This woke up the constable standing at the bottom of the stairs. Zhu Tao pointed at the corridor with a confused look on his face!
"Just now I saw this kid coming to the basement, but when I chased him down, he disappeared completely? There is only one corridor here? Am I dazzled?"
An old lady stood up and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhu, please don't protect this naughty kid. He set the trash can on fire today and made such a big noise. Tomorrow he might set the bamboo forest in the community on fire. This is a serious matter.
You can't just let a child make mistakes in order to protect him."
Zhu Tao was almost crying. How could he possibly protect a little kid? The main thing was that the person really disappeared.
"Knock on every door. I don't believe this brat can hide here for long."
"That's right, we must not let go of any naughty child who dares to make trouble!"
A group of old men and women had nothing to do and wanted to teach this naughty kid who had offended the big guys a lesson, so they walked into the basement.
Each person is responsible for the door of a basement to see if there are any signs that it has been opened.
At this time, Lin Tiancai and his two bodyguards, who were hiding in the basement, had turned pale!
"Brother Lin, this is a serious matter! I'm afraid we've been exposed. Those detectives are leading the residents closer and closer to our room!"
"Shut up, don't you know the soundproofing here is poor? Just bear with it. This is a basement, and the detectives know that the owner doesn't live here. If they didn't come here specifically for us, they would probably leave naturally after finding out there's nothing unusual here."
Lin Tiancai seemed to be in no hurry. He was confident that he would not be discovered!
However, as the footsteps outside got closer, his heart beat faster and faster.
"No way! I've been a wise man all my life, am I going to fall into the hands of a few naughty kids today?" Don't mention how much psychological pressure he was under!
At this moment, a resident came to the door of the basement and shouted loudly.
"Don't hide. We know you're hiding here. You set the trash can on fire and made such a big noise. You still want to run away? You're dreaming!"
This frightened Lin Tiancai so much that he almost jumped up!
A constable also walked in and said, "It seems that there is no one here. Maybe I saw it wrong just now."
"There must be someone there, everyone look carefully."
The uncles and aunts were unwilling to give up and continued searching.
The two detectives smiled helplessly and planned to leave immediately.
But at this moment, something surprising happened!
Lin Tiancai, who was in the basement, suddenly found that the pottery jar on his right was floating up.
He was so frightened by this scene that he was dumbfounded. With a loud bang, the clay jar exploded on the ground in an instant. The body of a baby in the jar, along with many kinds of medicines, were spread out on the ground.
"Did you hear the noise?"
The voices of doubt outside are getting closer!
The two constables who wanted to leave also stopped subconsciously.
After all, the people in the basement are only in this corridor, how could they create such a big thing?
Is there a ghost?
"That's the name, right?"
The two detectives came to the door of the basement where Ming Tian had been hiding.
Looking at the gap under the iron energy in the basement, they saw that the light inside suddenly dimmed, and one of them sneered!
"Oh, the little brat is playing hide-and-seek."
Now the two detectives are completely certain that the person hiding inside this door is most likely the little kid who set the fire!
Team leader Zhu Tao spoke immediately.
"It seems that we have no choice but to break in today. Let's not talk about catching this child. It's so dark down there. What if something happens to the child? Just break in!"?
