Lu Siqiao looked through the glass window at the Natural Store across the street. Fang Jun stood at the entrance, his gloomy eyes as fierce as a falcon's, which could be felt even across the street.
Lu Siqiao turned around and went up to the second floor, but actually slipped into the space.
After purchasing durians from the black soil, I received 300 points.
She glanced at her personal points, which totaled four thousand. She considered what gift to give to Grandpa He if she were to go to the capital. Remembering the remarkable effects of Fang Dingding taking the century-old ginseng, she decided to spend five hundred points to exchange for ginseng and give it to Grandpa He.
She had previously thought of giving one to Master Lu for his collection, but considering Old Madam Ruan's temperament and Master Lu's long-term consumption of her spatial spring water, his minor health problems had long since disappeared.
With summer vacation just around the corner, Lu Siqiao's mood brightened at the thought of going to Beijing to see Cheng Ze.
It was early morning, the day before summer vacation started.
Lu Siqiao woke up with a start, and she could smell a strong odor of gasoline.
Since consuming the spiritual spring water, her sense of smell has become exceptionally acute.
She quickly ran to knock on Zhang Wan's door. The two of them had just run downstairs to open the door when they found that the iron gate had been locked from the inside.
"Qiaowa, fire! Cough cough..." At this moment, Zhang Wan lifted the curtain, pointed to the raging fire outside the glass window and door, and said in a panic.
Lu Siqiao looked and saw a flame spreading outside the door, forming a wall of fire that surrounded them.
"Quick, open the window!" Afraid of suffocating from the thick smoke, she rushed to a corner, grabbed two fire extinguishers, handed one to Zhang Wan, and shouted, "Sister Wan, let's break the window, quick!"
The two men slammed their fire extinguishers into the glass window.
With a few loud crashes, the glass window shattered into pieces, and flames swept in!
"Quick, put out the fire!" Lu Siqiao shouted, skillfully raising the fire extinguisher in her hand and spraying it at the raging fire!
Zhang Wan followed suit, and the two of them rushed out together.
Some people outside had already been awakened and came over with buckets of water to put out the fire.
"Uncle, can I make a phone call?" Lu Siqiao ran to the phone booth next to her and dialed the fire department number, and of course, the emergency number as well.
She also called Lu Mingfeng and Zhang Wei.
At that moment, she spotted a man peering into the crowd, behaving strangely.
The man seemed to have seen her too, and hurried away.
Lu Siqiao shouted to Zhang Wan, "Sister Wan, keep an eye on the scene, I'll be right back!" She took a strength pill and a golden pill, and her steps became very fast as she chased after the man.
The man seemed to realize she was chasing him and deliberately ran into an alley.
Lu Siqiao was not afraid and followed.
"Hehe, little sister, why are you chasing me?" The man blocked her way from the front, playing with a dagger in his hand, looking at her with a half-smile.
Lu Siqiao asked expressionlessly, "Did you set fire to Qiaowu Fruit Shop?"
"Which eye of yours saw me set fire? Little sister, don't talk nonsense, or your brother will get angry." The man's dagger gleamed coldly as he spoke in a sinister voice.
Lu Siqiao gave a cold laugh: "It's fine if you don't tell me, I'll make you tell the truth." She leaned forward slightly, making a sprinting motion.
Just as the man was wondering where this little girl got her confidence, she suddenly pounced on him like a gust of wind, her two small hands clamping around his waist.
"Overestimating yourself!" the man sneered. Just as he was about to grab her, he immediately sensed something was wrong. Why was she not moving at all?
Lu Siqiao tilted her head back, revealing a mocking smile: "Did Fang Jun tell you that I'm very strong?"
ah?
Before the man could react, Lu Siqiao lifted him up and slammed him hard to the ground.
Not only was she bleeding from her head, but she also stepped on him and said coldly, "Tell me, did Fang Jun send you to set fire to our Qiao House?"
"Hmph, what did you say? I don't understand! You dare to hit me? I, I'm calling the police!" The man was dazed and confused from the fall, and immense fear gripped him, causing him to stutter.
Who would believe that a seven or eight-year-old girl could not only possess immense strength but also take on an adult man single-handedly!
Oh no!
"You won't tell, huh? Fine, I have ways to make you confess the truth." Lu Siqiao remembered that there was an honesty potion in her space, which was effective for one hour.
She spent 100 points to redeem an honesty potion and fed it to the man.
When Zhang Wei arrived with the police, he saw the man kneeling on the ground, crying and confessing to Lu Sibai, "Little Miss, I was bewitched, I was wrong. It was the young master of the Natural Milk Tea Shop who gave me five hundred yuan to set fire to Qiao's house. I really didn't expect there were still people living on the second floor..."
"Sister Qiao, are you alright?" Zhang Wei and the police officers looked at Lu Siqiao with puzzled expressions.
Lu Siqiao looked at the two police officers with a frightened expression and said pitifully, "Uncle Police Officer, this man is the arsonist from Qiao House. He accidentally broke his leg. When I found him, he was like he was possessed, and he kept repenting to me. Please arrest him quickly."
The lead police officer saw that the man indeed had a leg injury, helped him up, and asked, "What happened to you?"
Unexpectedly, the man pulled out five hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Officer, I want to confess everything. It was the young master of the Natural Milk Tea Shop who gave me money to burn down Qiao's Fruit Shop! This is the payment he gave me."
"Fine, you dared to commit arson and harm people, your crime is heinous, come back to the station with us!" The police arrested him, and then said to Lu Siqiao, "Little sister, please come with us."
Lu Siqiao nodded and then asked about the situation at Zhang Weiqiao's house.
Zhang Wei said with great distress: "The store was mostly burned down, but the fire has been extinguished and there were no casualties."
"Go and tally up the losses right away, and bring them to the station later. We're going to settle accounts with Fang Jun item by item," Lu Siqiao said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing Fang Jun's name, Zhang Wei's face turned ashen. "I'm going to settle accounts with him!"
"No need to alert him, but have Little Fatty and the others keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get away!" Lu Siqiao said hurriedly, having already made up her mind.
Zhang Wei was busy arranging everything.
Lu Mingfeng and his wife extinguished the fire and rushed over to escort Lu Siqiao to the Security Bureau.
Along the way, Luo Xiaoxue saw that Lu Siqiao's face was blackened by smoke, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and beautiful. She carefully checked her body and, seeing that she was not injured, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qiaowa, what will your parents do if something happens to you? You are never allowed to spend the night alone outside again."
She made a move to wipe Lu Siqiao's face, but was stopped by her.
"Mom, these are all evidence. We'll talk about it later when we catch the real culprit." A sharp, cold glint appeared in Lu Siqiao's eyes.
