"And then there was my conversation with her about the remittance, and her reaction when I mentioned her stepmother. Xiao Han had already reminded her that the remittance was related to her injury. Most people would be surprised to hear that, and then they would ask why her stepmother was sending money to Chen Hong. But look at her reaction, she's very calm. She doesn't even seem to care. She's a very strong person."
Li Jing exhaled a puff of smoke and scrutinized the passersby.
"She's more perceptive than most people. Since she went there, it's impossible that she wasn't alert at all. The oil drum that suddenly appeared wasn't placed very well, so she couldn't help but be suspicious. And the most crucial point is that the wood at the scene was concentrated near the window. But why did the door burn faster than the roof? The fire spread, and the roof, which was closer to the door, wasn't even on fire yet, but the door was already ablaze."
You mean...?
"Given her intelligence and composure in the face of trouble, I suspect she was already attempting self-rescue, which involved setting the door on fire and rushing out. But she changed her mind at the last minute. Perhaps she realized someone was coming to rescue her."
Hao Yun was still completely confused. "But what good does this do her? Why is she doing this?"
"The only advantage is that we will directly arrest the people involved. If Bai Lu was burned to death, Gao Jie will say that she gave Bai Lu something and left. Then two people will testify that she returned to where she was at what time. The fire that happened later has nothing to do with her."
"How do you say 'oil' or 'gasoline'?"
Li Chen shook his head and said helplessly, "Think about it, what did the person who threw away the gasoline say? He didn't see who took his gasoline. If Bai Lu hadn't been injured and rescued from the fire, Gao Jie and the others could have easily denied it."
"But you said she could save herself, so why didn't she?"
“If she had successfully rescued herself, things wouldn’t be so simple. The other party could have said that she staged it herself. After all, the tin oil drum was found by all of them, the educated youth, on the mountain. Moreover, if she had successfully rescued herself, the matter could very well have been dropped. After all, no one was injured. If the other party still denied it, there would be no need to pursue the matter further.”
"Then, what do we do?"
Li Jing smiled and said, "What else can we do? We'll just have to do what needs to be done and handle the case according to the law."
"Then, what about White Dew?"
"What? You said it yourself, she's the victim. What we're saying now is all speculation, we don't have any evidence. Even if we did have evidence, what crime could we convict her of? Besides, these people have already confessed."
Li Jing threw the cigarette on the ground, stubbed it out with his shoe, and tossed his head at Hao Yun, "Let's go back!"
