Chapter 37 037 Mission Begins

Chapter 37 037. Mission begins

The video begins with a scene of a hospital.

The hospital was bustling with people, with many media and reporters, passers-by, and police maintaining order.

At this time, in the camera, a middle-aged couple was escorted by the police out of the hospital.

The wife looked very haggard, while the husband looked serious.

There were some other people who came out, but everyone's focus seemed to be on this couple.

Qiao Mu heard some sounds.

"It's all your son's fault that so many people died!"

"murderer!"

"It's all your fault!"

"murderer!"

I don’t know where these noisy shouts came from in the crowd, but they were particularly distinct amidst the noise and noise.

Hearing these cries, the wife could not conceal her sorrow and suddenly collapsed on her husband.

As for the husband, his lips trembled, as if he was suppressing something, but he said nothing about the accusations.

The video ends quickly.

Qiao Mu glanced at the comments on the video.

[These are Wang’s parents, they look quite human-like, how could they raise a son like that! 】

[Those are twenty-three living lives, how can he be so embarrassed! 】

[It’s all this Wang’s fault. If it weren’t for him, how could there have been such a big fire! 】

[What is his name? Shouldn’t his family apologize to those who died? 】

[I read on the Internet that his father is a policeman who is about to retire. How did he become like this? It’s the father’s fault if he doesn’t teach him! 】

[This person seems to have run away from home before even going to college. He looks like a promiscuous person at first glance! 】

This Wang seems to be the idle member of society investigated by the self-media public account.

Qiao Mu scrolled through the comments and ate some more, and then realized that there was a theory on the Internet that the fire in the apartment building was mainly caused by Wang.

Because someone saw him often carrying a woven bag home, they speculated that it might be some kind of flammable and explosive dangerous goods.

Moreover, during the interview with the medical examiner, he once let slip that there were signs of being beaten with blunt objects or the like on the body of the deceased.

As a result, various rumors spread.

It is said that this Wang is a thug from a violent group. He was called to the door because he offended someone, and a fire broke out during the dispute.

It was said that this Wang secretly resold dangerous goods, and his own negligence caused a fire that killed so many people.

It was said that this woman, Wang, wanted to molest her neighbor. When she failed to commit the crime, she became so angry that she set the apartment building on fire.

The dead cannot speak anyway, so no one can defend him.

Qiao Mu frowned.

Because he knew that the fire was most likely not caused by Wang.

After all, he had attended the memorial service of the rich second generation owner of this building, where the words as red as blood told him that the person lying in the coffin was the culprit of the fire.

But Qiao Mu still doesn't know how the fire started.

"You have to get into the apartment."

Qiao Mu sent a WeChat message to Zhou Mingke.

[Qiao Mu]: Boss, I have a task to do tonight. Do you have any suggestions?

He briefly described his mission.

In this regard, Chosen Game doesn't seem to care if Qiao Mu reveals it to others.

Of course, according to Su Hong, knowledge is pollution. Unprocessed information about the God of Choice game is disclosed to other ordinary people at will, and the other party will only think that you are talking nonsense, or it will cause the listener to become crazy.

These contaminations are like highly lethal viruses that can be transmitted to only one or two people before stopping. Therefore, even if there is no mandatory confidentiality clause, it is difficult for most people to know about it.

[Zhou Mingke]: You know, in the abnormal field, everything is not so logical, and time and space may go wrong.

[Zhou Mingke]: So, accept the fact that you may not be able to do anything.

She said a few words without any beginning or end, and did not provide any guidance for Qiao Mu's mission.

[Qiao Mu]: Okay.

Qiao Mu only thought that Zhou Mingke trusted him.

He checked the specific location of the apartment, took a satchel from the editorial office, found a flashlight that could light up after shaking it twice, and set off immediately.

The urban area where the apartment is located is on the other side of Lingjiang, which is considered an old city. The high-rise buildings here have a more contemporary feel than the CBD near Su Hong's home.

After getting off the bus stop, before Qiao Mu checked the navigation, he saw the orange color in the sky not far away.

At this moment, the sun has completely set, and the sky is shrouded in darkness. The orange-red sunset is naturally not a charming sunset.

Qiao Mu walked along the street and soon saw the building along the street.

The buildings around the building were slightly deserted. It was unknown whether it was because of the fire that the residents had evacuated and temporarily fled their original residences, making the area dark. Only the dark, monster-like building cast a deep shadow.

Pedestrians subconsciously avoided that road, and it was deserted under the dim street lights.

Only Qiao Mu looked up at the melting apartment building surrounded by yellow police tape.

This building is burning.

The orange-yellow flames shrouded every corner of the building, lighting up the night sky like a candle that could never be extinguished.

People were coming and going, but no one noticed the fire.

Obviously, this is an abnormal fire that can only be seen at a certain depth.

"I'm still wrangling about it now. I don't know how to dismantle it. Otherwise, it might end up rotting here forever."

Behind him, the owner of a fruit shop muttered.

"Boss, how do you sell apples?"

Qiao Mu turned around and chatted with the boss for a few words.

"That Cunpou is actually not a bad person. He even helped me clean up when I spilled the beans before."

The boss heard Qiao Mu's words and said casually.

"The fire department said they were going to bulldoze it all, but the landlord wouldn't give it. That's for sure. He'd lose a lot if they bulldozed it."

"Boss, I want these three apples."

Qiao Mu is a social phobic and is not very good at dealing with such a talkative boss. He only bought three apples and came to the community carrying a plastic bag.

The cause of the accident has not been thoroughly investigated, and the scene is still cordoned off, with people on duty standing at the gate of the community.

Qiao Mu could only become friends with the other person first, and then sneak in quietly.

He sat on a bench near the green belt of the community to kill time and gnawed an apple.

It was after eleven o'clock at night, in the dead of night, with only a few cats humming incessantly, that Qiao Mu quietly approached the apartment.

The flames were strong, but they did not burn Qiao Mu. Instead, because of his arrival, the flames at the entrance of the building separated into two lanes, making way for him.

"Thanks."

Qiao Mu is a polite person.

He walked into the apartment.

Because the fire almost burned the entire building, even the first floor was filled with a strong burning smell. The thick wall covering on the old walls seemed to have been melted by the high temperature, showing chaotic patterns that seemed to be still there. One or two palm prints can be glimpsed from these lines, which seem to be absent.

[The fire burns everything, but there is always something left behind. Look carefully at the ground! 】

In Qiao Mu's field of vision, bright red words rippled.

He immediately lowered his head and saw a blackened key on the ground that was slightly sticky due to being burned and blown by the south wind of Jiangcheng. He picked up the key and found that there seemed to be a set of footprints next to the key.

Following the footprints, Qiao Mu went all the way up to the fourth floor.

The footprints disappeared at the door of a house.

Even the door of the house had been burned out of shape, twisted and twisted, and the surrounding walls were glowing with oil from the light outside.

Qiao Mu reached out and gently touched the melting and solidifying magma-like wall.

[Enter the apartment: 1/1]

[Survive until dawn: 0/1]

[Investigating the truth behind the incident in the apartment: 0/1]

[Task begins]

[Players please close your eyes]

The twisted marks on the wall outlined the system's cold and indifferent words. Qiao Mu followed what was said and gently closed her eyes.

"What are you doing?"

At this time, a call came from behind Qiao Mu.
