Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"It's flooded! It's flooded! Come put out the fire!"

Billowing thick smoke rose into the sky and quickly attracted the attention of nearby residents.

They thought that some house had accidentally caught fire, and immediately came out with a water basin to put out the fire.

This area is a residential area for residents, and their houses are all flammable wooden structures. If the fire is not rescued, it is likely to spread to their homes and threaten themselves!

Li Fei was patrolling the street with his people, and when he saw the thick smoke, his expression froze, and he immediately led his people over here.

A group of people came to the outside of Chu Zhuang where they lived, and cleverly climbed over the wall and entered the yard, and then opened the door bolt to let people in.

"This……"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in front of them. They thought someone's house had accidentally caught fire, but looking at the piles of firewood at the door, as long as they were not stupid, they knew it was not accidental, it was someone Deliberate arson!

Li Fei pushed away the crowd, squeezed forward, and was slightly taken aback looking at the scene in front of him, but after all, it was the policeman who quickly came back to his senses, and shouted at the crowd: "What are you doing in a daze, put out the fire!"

Everyone came back to their senses, and immediately poured the water in their hands into the fire that had already started.

It's just that this little bit of water has no effect on the burning fire in front of me. Once the water enters the fire, it has been evaporated into water vapor before it can extinguish the fire.

"Hurry up and bring the water!"

Li Fei organized the surrounding people to carry water, and he himself joined the firefighting team.

"Boom!" Yunmengxi kicked the gate again. This was the third time he had kicked the gate. The two previous times he hadn't kicked the door open. Finally, the wooden stick on the door bolt couldn't withstand the force and broke Two pieces fell to the ground.

The door was finally opened, and a burst of flames rushed towards Yunmengxi at the door.

"careful!"

Chu Zhuang quickly pulled Yunmengxi into his arms, turned his back, the flames touched his hair, and he could smell a burnt smell in an instant.

"Chu Zhuang, are you okay?!" Yun Mengxi came out of Chu Zhuang's arms, pulled Chu Zhuang back to the middle of the room and asked anxiously.Chu Zhuang shook his head, lifted his hair to show Yunmengxi, and comforted him, "It's okay, it's just that my hair was burned a little." Yunmengxi was relieved, and looked at the door which was completely blocked by the fire Stopping the way, his eyes were full of coldness, no matter what today, he must take Chu Zhuang out!

Chu Zhuang looked at the fire, squinted his eyes, patted Yunmengxi's hand, and comforted him: "Don't worry."

As a last resort, they still have space to hide in.

It's just that through the light of the fire, you can see the dense crowd outside. If they disappeared from the house out of thin air, they might be treated as monsters when they come out.

So it is better not to enter this space until the crisis is life-threatening!

Li Fei and the others watched the door suddenly open, and were taken aback, there was actually someone inside the room!

He rushed to the door and shouted loudly, "How many people are there?!"

Chu Zhuang heard Li Fei's voice, his eyes lit up, and he immediately responded: "Captain Li, my husband and I are inside!" "Mr. Chu?!" Li Fei's eyes widened. The people inside turned out to be Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi!

"Captain Li, can you think of a way to throw a bucket of water in?" Chu Zhuang shouted.

Time is running out right now, and we must race against time. If the beams are blown, the whole house will collapse, and they will be in danger.

Li Fei frowned, not understanding what Chu Zhuang meant, but thinking that Chu Zhuang must have some way to get out of the house, he immediately responded: "Okay, just wait!"

Li Fei looked around, his eyes stayed on the water truck that had just been brought in, and shouted towards the room: "Young Master Chu, get out of the way, I'm pushing the water truck in!"

"it is good!"

Chu Zhuang pulled Yunmengxi back a few steps, he didn't wait, and found a few quilts from the house that he just bought today as a cover-up.

"Mengxi, listen to me, we'll soak the quilt later, wrap it around our bodies and run out!"

Chu Zhuang looked at Yunmengxi and said, "Remember, the speed must be fast! And remember to hold your breath, don't inhale the thick smoke inside!"

Most of the people trapped in the fire were not burned to death, but choked to death by the thick smoke!

"I see!"

Yunmengxi's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that there was another way, so she nodded vigorously immediately, and agreed.

Outside the house, Li Fei called several people to push the water wheel hard together, and it took a lot of effort to push the heavy water wheel into the house.

Li Fei's cheeks were flushed, it was caused by the fire in front of him, he exhaled lightly, and shouted into the room: "Young Master Chu, the fire is burning, can you come out?!"

"Okay, we'll come out right away!"

The water wheel was pushed into the house, and a large bucket of water in it immediately fell on the ground. Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi did not waste any time, and immediately spread the quilt on the ground to absorb the water.

When the quilt became heavy and the two of them put it on their bodies, Chu Zhuang asked Yunmengxi to tear off the robe, which was also wet, and made a simple mask for Yunmengxi and himself to cover the nose and mouth .

"Chu Zhuang, you go out first, I'll watch you from behind!" Yun Mengxi worried that Chu Zhuang would accidentally trip when going out, and he could help in time with him watching from behind.

Chu Zhuang knew Yunmengxi's character, so if he had time to refuse, he might as well go out earlier, nodded and said: "Okay, follow me!

Chu Zhuang covered his head with a quilt, and then got into the gate that was engulfed by raging fire. Yunmengxi followed closely behind without wasting any time.

Li Fei looked at the two people who rushed out of the house wrapped in wet quilts, with surprise in his eyes.

What a clever way!

A damp quilt will stop the fire so you can get out!

Li Fei sighed inwardly, no wonder Chu Zhuang was able to be admitted as a scholar at such a young age, he was really smart!

After Chu Zhuang came out, he threw the quilt on the ground and immediately went to find Yunmengxi.

"I'm fine." Yun Mengxi threw down the quilt on her body, watched Chu Zhuang approaching, and said with a smile.

Chu Zhuang checked Yunmengxi's body and found that he was not burned, so he was relieved.

"Young Master Chu, it's great that you can come out!" Li Fei came over and said happily.

Such a big fire, ordinary people trapped in it has no possibility of surviving!

"Catcher Li, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come out!" Chu Zhuang let go of Yunmengxi, and saluted Li Feifei, thanking him sincerely.

If Li Fei hadn't managed to transport the water truck in, it would not have been so easy for him and Yunmengxi to get out of it!Yunmengxi also nodded at the side, thanking Butou Li.

"It's something that's within my responsibilities."

Li Fei waved his hand and didn't get too entangled in this issue. He looked at the fire and said, "The house has been doused with kerosene. This kind of fire can't be extinguished at all. We can only wait until it is completely burned. I will stop people and burn the surrounding area." Empty."

"Yeah." Chu Zhuang didn't bother Li Fei and let him leave.

"There are piles of firewood here, and the house is bolted up. Just now Li Baotou said that the house was poured with kerosene..."

Yunmengxi stared blankly at the house in front of him that had been engulfed by the fire, looked at Chu Zhuang, and said in disbelief: "Is this someone trying to burn us alive?"

"En." Chu Zhuang nodded with a livid face. Even if they wanted to believe the iron-like facts in front of them, they couldn't believe it. "How could it be?"

Yun Mengxi opened her mouth wide, thought for a while, and asked, "Could it be your stepmother..."

Chu Zhuang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Our renting is a temporary idea. Sima Lianhe is in Fucheng. It is impossible for her to ask someone to make an arrangement so soon. She will do it..."

Chu Zhuang squinted his eyes, and muttered: "It should be from the county, and it is very likely that it was a temporary idea^"

"Who could it be?" Yunmenxi pursed his lips, his eyes were full of anger.

If he finds out who intends to murder Chu Zhuang on purpose, he will never let him go easily!

Chu Zhuang frowned. He had not been here for a long time, and he had not offended many people. There were only a few people after counting.Pang Shan and his gang have been arrested, and Pang Shan has already fled. His wanted portrait is pasted at the gate of the city. It is impossible for him to take the risk to come in.

It was impossible for Sima Lianhe to move so quickly.

So if these people are excluded, only those two people will be left!

The figures of the two appeared in Chu Zhuang's mind. He had just finished dealing with these two with his front feet, and his back feet were blocked and set on fire. It was very difficult for him not to doubt them!

Chu Zhuang looked at Yunmengxi and told him his thoughts.

"It's them?!" Yunmengxi's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "I won't let them go!"

"Don't act rashly. We don't have any evidence right now. If we act rashly, we will be at a disadvantage." Chu Zhuang took Yunmengxi's hand to dissuade him.

"Should we just let them go like this?" Yunmengxi asked unwillingly.

"Of course not. We are just catching thieves and catching stolen goods. Let's find evidence first and then settle accounts with them." Chu Zhuang comforted Yunmeng.

creek.

"okay."

Yunmengxi nodded sullenly. Although she agreed, she could tell that she was not happy.

Li Fei led people to remove all the flammable materials around, and even cut down the trees in the house, making sure that the fire would not spread, so he came over.

"Master Chu, why are you here?"

Only now will Li Fei have time to have a good conversation with Chu Zhuang.

The fire was obviously aimed at Chuzhuang and Yunmenxi. He wanted to investigate the real culprit of the arson, so he naturally hoped to get clues from them.

"We rented this house, and we just moved in this morning." Chu Zhuang explained briefly, and then said, "I never thought that such a thing would happen in just a few hours."

Yunmengxi pursed her lips tightly, and couldn't help being a little annoyed in her heart, he was still too careless.

In the past, if someone entered the yard, he would definitely be able to detect it.

It's just that his mind was completely occupied by Chu Zhuang at that time, and he didn't pay attention to the situation outside at all, so that people took advantage of such a big loophole!

"Young Master Chu, we won't hide anything between us." Li Fei approached Chu Zhuang, and asked in a low voice beside him, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

Li Fei was so careful because he didn't want Chu Zhuang's answer to be overheard. After all, there is no evidence yet. If Chu Zhuang gave his name but after the investigation, the person did not commit a crime, it would easily bring trouble to Chu Zhuang.

Chu Zhuang obviously knew this too. He covered his mouth with his hand and said two names: "Sun Dehua, Sun Minghua."

Chu Zhuang briefly explained the grievances between him and these two people, and said: "At present, I suspect these two people the most, but there is no evidence to prove it at present."

"I see."

Li Fei nodded solemnly. When he went to clean up with someone just now, he had inquired with someone, and no one saw the person who set the fire.

So even if there is an object of suspicion, there is no evidence to prove it at all right now!

Seeing the raging fire, Chu Zhuang squinted his eyes, and suddenly he looked at Li Fei and said, "Captain Li, just now you said that a lot of kerosene was poured on this house?"

Li Fei nodded, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, if it wasn't for that, the fire wouldn't be this big!"

"Fire oil!" Chu Zhuang muttered with a thoughtful expression.

Looking at Chu Zhuang's expression, Li Fei quickly asked, "Master Chu, do you have any clues?"
