Chapter 59 Finding Clues

Huang Xinran's teeth were chattering with hatred.

Under the cherry tree, she found kerosene that had not yet been completely burned. Although the person who set the fire was very careful and tried not to leave any evidence, the faint smell of kerosene in the air and the kerosene residue on the ground undoubtedly pointed to the truth that people were most reluctant to guess - someone deliberately set the fire under the cherry tree, and the purpose was clear without saying.

When the people who came to help put out the fire heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Everyone was talking about this matter.

Lu Tianlei's face also turned dark!

He had been blaming himself before, thinking that he had made a big mistake. But now that he heard that someone had deliberately set the fire, he immediately became angry.

"Who is it?! Who is doing such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself? Who is it? Stand up!"

"Dad, now is not the time to talk about this. We should call the police and let the public security comrades investigate this matter!" Huang Xinran reminded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, this matter cannot be left alone like this."

Lu Tianlei slapped his forehead, feeling that he was getting old and confused: "Old Fourth, quickly arrange for someone to go to the commune and report the case to the public security bureau. Say that someone deliberately set the fire to burn me to death! Go quickly!"

"good."

Lu Yunchen had already noticed something was wrong. However, Huang Xinran came to a conclusion faster than him, which surprised him and he couldn't help but look at her twice more.

They arranged for someone to go to the police station to report the case. While waiting, they also tried to keep the surroundings as they were, hoping that when the police arrived, they would be able to catch the person who set the fire.

It was not until dawn that the police finally arrived.

After daybreak, the cherry forest revealed its current state of despair. It was blackened by smoke everywhere. The cherries and leaves on the trees had wilted, and there were even many half-ripe cherries that fell to the ground. It was truly heartbreaking to see.

This is all money!

Thinking of the 1,000 yuan deposit that Sun Ya had already paid and the signed contract, Huang Xinran was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

Don't let her catch who resorted to such extreme means, otherwise, don't blame her for retaliating!

The police checked the surroundings and extracted clues left at the scene.

Unfortunately, in order to put out the fire, many members of the production team came to help, and destroyed the scene, which added a lot of difficulty to the investigation.

However, as Huang Xinran said before, the police found kerosene, a fuel for combustion, and a small amount of firewood piled up under the cherry tree, as well as another kerosene residue on the other side of the hillside. According to their inference, this is where the criminals stayed for a short time. They also extracted a complete shoe print here.

"Comrade Public Security, how big is that shoe print?"

"It should be a size 39 Jiefang shoe. At present, it is impossible to distinguish between men and women. The Jiefang shoes are severely worn. In addition, the suspect should be left-handed because his (her) left foot is more severely worn."

If it was another size, it would be better, at least you could roughly determine the other person's gender.

Now that they have measured that the other person is wearing a size 39 Jiefang shoe, they are stumped. After all, this size can be used by both men and women. However, the clue that he is left-handed may help them find out something.

left handed?

Many people quickly passed through Huang Xinran's mind, and soon she remembered one.

Xiao Huayu is left-handed and he also wears size 39 Liberation shoes.

But, with so many eyes staring at her, she couldn't easily express her guess.

"Did you think of something?"

Although Huang Xinran lost his composure for a short time, almost for a moment, and then recovered his composure, this short moment of distraction was still discovered by the public security comrades.

"If you have any clues, just tell me."

"No, I just didn't expect that the other person was left-handed."

"Oh, I see."

The police did not ask further questions.

Only after the crowd gradually dispersed did Lu Yunchen call Huang Xinran aside and ask, "Did you find anything?"

"I found something, but I'm not sure. Did you find anything too?"

"Ah Huang is missing."

"ah?"

Huang Xinran was suddenly surprised. Yes, where is the big yellow dog?

Her face suddenly changed, and she turned around and ran back. She was so busy last night that she forgot about the big yellow dog.

Although Ah Huang has only been raised for a few days, he is obedient and sensible, and most importantly, he is very good at guarding the house. Before, whenever someone came to Liushan, he would bark. It doesn't make sense that there was no movement last night.

But it didn't bark, and even disappeared.

Could it be that something has happened?

When he arrived at the place where the big yellow dog was tied, he only found the half-remaining iron chain. Thinking of the big yellow dog who had suffered so much and lost his life, Huang Xinran's eyes turned red.

"Don't worry, let's look for it again, maybe it's okay."

"How can it be okay!"

Huang Xinran sniffed angrily, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have trapped it, which gave the bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of it. Otherwise, with its intelligence, I don't know if it could find the bad guys, but at least it could escape when it was hurt."

The big yellow dog was originally attracted by the cherry fruits, so it stayed under the cherry tree to guard it. However, because of the experience of almost hurting someone before, Lu Tianlei locked it with a chain. Huang Xinran saw it and did not release it. Now it is too late to regret it!

"Don't impose the mistakes of bad people on yourself."

Lu Yunchen was particularly calm and decisive: "Let's split up and look for him. Maybe the big yellow dog is okay."

"Look for it quickly."

Huang Xinran was extremely anxious and started looking everywhere.

In fact, the police had already searched this hill carefully more than once. If they searched again now, it would probably be in vain. Huang Xinran knew the result, but she still searched around. Seeing that she had searched the entire hill and found nothing, she couldn't help but tear up when she looked at the clear water in the stream.

"Blame me, it's all my fault!"

She beat her head in frustration, sat down on a big rock, and wanted to cry.

"Stop looking for him, let's go back. We still have a lot of things to do at home. We need to catch the arsonist as soon as possible to avenge Ah Huang!"

"If only I hadn't kept Ah Huang and chased him away!"

When Huang Xinran was in despair, he suddenly heard a burst of dog barking.

"Did you hear anything?"

After listening carefully, there seemed to be no movement again.

“No.”

"Woo woo woo ..."

"No! There seems to be some movement!"

Huang Xinran thought that the noise was from Ah Huang: "Let's look around quickly. I heard Ah Huang's voice. Let's look for him!"

Lu Yunchen was startled, wondering if she had misheard. But seeing how anxious she was, he couldn't bear to point it out, and just followed her around to look for her.

Fortunately, Cangtian heard their calls, and after Huang Xinran's unremitting search, he finally found Ah Huang's figure in the gap between the rocks and the beach below the creek.
