Within less than two hours, Sun Tu returned to Changxingfang again. Although the fire that had been raging all night had been extinguished, the entire bustling market was destroyed, and thousands of families and hundreds of shops had been turned into ruins. Only a few houses in the north corner of the fang were preserved, but it seemed particularly desolate to stand beside the ruins.

At this time, in addition to the soldiers and horses in the city who were also patrolling everywhere in the yard to prevent the resurgence of the resurgence, many people were also looking for things in their homes with a sad face. The residences where these people lived for the rest of their lives were suddenly burned down by a fire, and they were naturally in a state of grief and panic. All they could do now was to find something to recover the losses.

Seeing this scene, Sun Tu was also quite heavy, but he could only sigh and finish the matter. After all, his ability was limited, and only the government could help them with such natural disasters. Their group continued to move forward and soon saw Zhong Yu, who was still standing here, with bloodshot eyes. He was really responsible.

Zhong Yu is a deputy chief of the Tokyo City Street Department, who is in charge of fire prevention, so when the fire broke out here, the burden on him became extremely heavy and he did not dare to slack off at all.

The Street Department was an institution established by the court to control all kinds of chores and chores in Bianjing City and maintain local tidy and safety. Its responsibilities were somewhat like the urban management departments in later generations, but its power was greater. People who could see them in every street and street, and even firefighters were under its jurisdiction. Moreover, in addition to superficial responsibilities, this neighborhood department also hidden another identity, and they were a force under the Imperial City Department.

Seeing Sun Tu bringing people over, Zhong Yu, who was tired and nervous, finally had a smile on his face: "Sun Dutou, why don't you go to rest and come here again?" Sun Tu helped him a lot last night, and his impression of this young man was naturally quite good.

"The Xiaguan has met Zhong Sizheng. This time I came here to investigate the cause of the fire by the order of Xue Tong, Kaifeng Prefecture. "Sun Tu quickly explained. Seeing that the other party was a little confused, he simply said his official duties and errands: "So this time, such a major disaster occurred in Dongcheng, and the Xiaguan was even more responsible."

"So that's it." Zhong Yu then realized why Sun Tu was so dedicated last night, so he nodded and said, "Then you should take people around, but be careful. It is very likely that there are embers in some corners that have not yet been extinguished, and it will be dangerous if the fire catches again."

"The official understands." Sun Tu nodded and responded. After getting the other party's permission, he asked his subordinates to scatter around and search for relevant clues, and found the surviving people to find the inside story. As for himself, he took Cui Lue Shang straight to the west and headed towards the location of Maojia Lane in his memory.

The disaster here is more serious than elsewhere. Almost all buildings have turned into coke. Among them, a middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground in front of a shop on the side of the street, crying bitterly: "It's over, it's over... This time I spent 50,000 yuan on the brocade that I had worked hard to transport from Shu was burned out, and the previous inventory..." Obviously, his wealth was all in this shop, and now it has disappeared. The crying sounds really sad, but everyone around him was also caring about his miserable experiences, and no one came forward to comfort him.

When Sun Tu saw this, he hesitated for a moment and still stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Brother, you can still think of something to earn when you lose money. Talent is the most important thing."

The man was stunned for a moment, but still cried sadly, and muttered again: "It's over, I would have taken the goods earlier that day..."

Sun Tu stopped saying anything, turned around and walked forward. Cui Lue Shang, who was following him, sniffing hard for a few times, showed a strange expression on his face. But he did not rush to say anything, but followed Sun Tu and continued to move forward. After turning around, he came to Maojia Lane, which was also completely burned and charred.

Sun Tu's eyes glanced around Maojia Lane, then raised his legs and walked into it. At the same time, he asked Cui Lue Shang: "Old Cui, can you tell from experience that this fire has started from this alley?" After all, he had never done criminal investigation work before traveling through time, so it was difficult to make arbitrary judgments.

Cui Lue Shang immediately narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the situation around him. After a while, he said: "When I said this, it really looks like a place to catch fire."

"Oh? Are you sure?" Sun Tu asked again, worried that the other party said so to please him.

Cui Lue-shang nodded seriously: "The other skills are just mediocre, but after more than twenty years of difference, these tricks and noses are quite useful. No clues can escape my investigation at ordinary murder scenes." Afterwards, his expression was filled with a hint of pride.

When Sun Tu heard this, he was immediately delighted. If he really wanted to be as he said, he would have a good helper. He said, "Then take a closer look at which company caught the fire in this alley."

Cui Lue Shang agreed and walked carefully, his eyes constantly scanning the ruins, looking for clues. These things did not seem to be much different from Sun Tu or others, but in his opinion, they all had subtle differences.

After moving forward so slowly for a while, Cui Lue Shang suddenly stopped, then turned around, walked a few steps away, stopped in front of a ruin, and said after a moment of silence: "If you look nice, this is the source of the fire."

"Oh? What's the evidence?" Sun Tu asked quickly.

Cui Lue Shang pointed to the wall beside him and said, "Please look here. The earth wall in this section is obviously much darker than the left and right, which proves that the fire here is the most fierce and burns the longest time."

Sun Tu observed carefully for a while before he noticed the subtle differences. He couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise: "Old Cui, you really have good eyesight, you can see the clues."

"It's all ridiculous. The young man has just the ability to eat." Cui Lue Shang laughed, but then he couldn't laugh anymore, because Sun Tu said again: "Then do you think this place is actually quite familiar?"

"Ah?" After this reminder, Cui Lue Shang suddenly reacted: "This is..." He was just looking for clues and did not carefully distinguish where he was. Now he realized that he had actually been here not long ago: "Is this the Zhang Lao Si family that Huang Qi and the others were causing trouble that day?"

"Yes, it's here." Although the walls of the surrounding houses were no longer in shape, Sun Tu still judged his location with a sense of direction, which made his expression more serious: "I didn't expect that this place had turned into scorched earth in just a few days. But don't you find it strange, why did his house suddenly catch a fire? Is it really a coincidence?"

In terms of what he said, Cui Lue Shang didn't understand. His whole face turned a little white: "Do you suspect that someone did this fire on purpose? And the person who set fire on fire was..." He was so scared that he couldn't say anything afterwards, because this matter was too big.

A big fire not only burned many people, but also burned the entire Changxingfang into ruins. This is where the city of Tokyo at the foot of the emperor. They really dared to commit such a crime that they deserved to die?

Sun Tu's eyes kept sweeping back and forth on the surrounding ruins, and after a while, he said: "I hope I guessed it was wrong, but do you think the fourth family in the second chapter would be so careless? And it was still late at night, and the whole family should fall asleep, and the fire started from the yard again. Does this make sense?"

After pausing, he said again: "It is hard to say whether this fire is a natural disaster or is it now. But since there are clues and questions, I should follow up on it, otherwise how can I be worthy of the people who died?"
