The flames instantly engulfed the entire house.
If Cheng Shi had not run fast, he might have passed the fire on today, and even passed it on with his body.
When the two men emerged from the blazing ruins covered in dust and dirt, Cheng Shi looked at Chen Shu with a dark face, wishing he could punch him into the ground.
He gritted his teeth and said:
“How dare you pour gasoline on yourself!??”
That’s right, Chen Shuo didn’t pour the bucket of gasoline on the furniture in the study, but instead on himself and Cheng Shi.
At this time, Chen Shuo was still holding an empty bucket in his hand. He touched his head and looked at Cheng Shi, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him.
"You said you wanted to pass on the fire, but how can you do that if the fire doesn't burn you?"
"I......"
Cheng Shi has become numb. He feels that humans still know too little about statements.
However, there is indeed a problem with what Chen Shu said. It is not a problem of being too talkative, but a problem of will.
If you have to wait until the fire burns yourself before taking action, it is not called passing on the fire, but seeking survival.
Although the current situation of the Fire Bearers is bad, they are not the kind of people who only take action when the situation becomes urgent. Their will is far nobler and clearer than that of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Of course, Cheng Shi didn't set the fire in order to get close to the person who spread the fire. That was just an excuse to get rid of the problem. What he really wanted to do was to investigate for clues.
Since the clues appeared to be changing here in Kandelt, Cheng Shi also suspected that there was something wrong with this person, so he simply used a fire to guide himself forward.
If Candelt really has something to hide, then the ghost will surely appear under the reflection of this fire.
As expected, after receiving the news that his house was on fire, Kandelt put aside all his affairs and rushed back quickly, leading the guards of the Forbidden House to put out the fire. Before the last few flames were extinguished, he stepped into the ruins with a grim face and looked around.
He went straight to the study, but just glanced at the ashes of the desk and left. Then he went to the bedroom, went in and out of the ruins of the bedroom several times. After confirming something, his brows relaxed and he left the scene without saying a word.
All of this was seen by the two players hiding nearby. Chen Shuo pointed in the direction of the bedroom and whispered:
"So you want Candelt to find clues for you personally?
Brother-in-law, you really have a sharp mind."
Cheng Shi looked towards the bedroom with a gleam in his eyes. He knew that the fire was right, but he said with disdain: "Don't call me brother-in-law."
"Did you two have a fight?"
“…”
"But if I don't call you brother-in-law, I always feel like something is missing, as if we are not close anymore."
"We weren't close to begin with!"
"Brother-in-law, you're so sad to hear me say that. I...Okay, okay, if you don't call me brother-in-law, then I have to call you that. Weaver of Fate is really too unfamiliar to me, and calling you by your name directly doesn't quite add up...
Oh, I got it. Why don’t I call you Cheng Jie?
How about the solution to the world!? "
“????”
Seeing that Kandelt had ordered the area to be sealed off and was about to leave the fire scene, Cheng Shi wanted to go forward to find out what was going on, but Chen Shuo's words "Cheng Jie" directly stopped Cheng Shi in his tracks.
His eyelids twitched, and he endured it for a long time before telling himself that it was not worth getting angry with a fool.
But Cheng Jie's name is too ugly. If this gets out, he will be nailed to the "pillar of shame"! ?
So Cheng Shi let out a long breath and said with a dark face: "You should just call me brother-in-law."
"You two are back together again?
You weren't talking to me just now while I was talking to you on the phone with my sister, were you?"
“…”
Who ranked Chen Shuo second?
I protest!
Put him first!
"Bang!"
I can no longer tolerate it.
Although Cheng Shi's real body was not the warrior of today, he was still quite strong. He punched Chen Shu into the ground, then avoided the sight of the surrounding guards and flipped into the ruins again.
He followed the route Candelt had taken and walked straight to the remains of the bedroom. He looked around for a moment, found nothing, and then frowned slightly.
Although Chen Shuo didn't hold back his words, he knew that if he disturbed Cheng Shi's train of thought at this time, he would definitely be scolded, so he was rarely silent for a while.
It was during these rare few breaths of quiet time that Cheng Shi had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.
He snapped his fingers, pointed at Chen Shu's feet, and said, "Get out of the way."
Chen Shuo looked aggrieved: "I will no longer question the relationship between you and my sister. Please don't chase me away."
"......" Cheng Shi's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed his anger and almost squeezed out a word from his throat, "Get out, you're standing on the clue."
"ah?"
Chen Shuo was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw countless footprints under his feet, which were left by Candelt.
In fact, it is not surprising to have so many footprints. After all, Kandelt has been in and out of here several times, and there should be many footprints left under the ashes.
The strange thing is that only the footprints under Chen Shuo's feet are slightly deep, while the footprints in other places in the bedroom are very shallow.
Chen Shuo was no fool. He understood Cheng Shi's meaning in a second and said with a little surprise, "Is there something under my feet?"
"Yes, there's something hidden under here!
Candelt kept going in and out of the bedroom, not because there was anything important in the bedroom, but to determine if there was something wrong under the ground!
He stepped back and forth here, probably to confirm that nothing happened, but under the eyes of everyone, he couldn't do any further operations, so you get out of the way quickly.
