Huo Mian nodded . "Because the owner said that Doctor Lan never sold their house and didn't take their furniture or even their clothes . It's like they disappeared into thin air . It's not logical . "

"But still, you can't be sure that they were murdered . What if they left because of an emergency?" Qin Chu didn't agree with Huo Mian's theory .

"That's also possible, but the chances are really slim . Think about it, from the death of Uncle Yang, we can tell that the killer is an abomination who won't even let an old man live . Therefore, there was no way they will let Doctor Lan, an important witness, off the hook . Don't forget, she was the key person to that incident all those years ago, and if she died, no one would be able to give witness to what happened . I don't think that someone who was smart enough to quietly kill Uncle Yang and make it seem like a suicide will let Doctor Lan and her family escape . "

Qin Chu sucked in a breath of cold air upon hearing Huo Mian's analysis . "You sure are meticulous, I forgot that these two cases may be related . You're right, someone who is willing to kill an old man must be an abomination . But… we need proof, so should we check out Doctor Lan's old place?"

"Of course not… unless absolutely necessary, we should never come back to this town again . "

"Why not?" Huo Mian's meticulousness made Qin Chu worry .

"Because there are too many informers and suspicious people in this town . We don't know who we can trust, so we can't risk ourselves . If we identify a new witness, we have to find them before they're killed… The owner's husband, that man… I didn't really talk to him, but he's really weird . "

"Weird how?"



Huo Mian thought about it for a second and then recalled, "I think it's my woman intuition, I have a feeling that there's more to him . We met for the first time yesterday, but he's so unfriendly towards me that I feel like something's off about him . "

"Maybe you were too nervous…" Qin Chu speculated .

"Maybe… but I also made sure of one other thing . "

"What's that?"

"The fire at the health center's archive room all those years ago was not an accident… Not only that, whoever did it was very familiar with chemical principles . "



"Oh? How so?" Qin Chu hadn't thought about that .

"The owner told me that the fire was really weird, they couldn't even extinguish it at all . Therefore, the older people in the village claimed that it was a fire from the Gods, sent here to kill monsters and demons, and that's how word got out . But the owner said that she witnessed the fire and that it became even bigger when they tried to put it out . Apparently, it was really scary… tell me, under what circumstances will water make a fire worse?" Huo Mian smiled as she looked at Qin Chu .

"I got it, whoever set the fire was a chemistry expert, they probably stored some sort of chemical or easily inflammable substance in that room, like potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium carbide, or calcined lime . These substances react to water, so not only will the fire refuse to die down, it'll make things worse . That's why regular folks thought it was a fire sent from the Gods . "

"Right, that's exactly it . " Huo Mian nodded .



"I'm surprised that weird things like this would happen to that little town . Mian, I have a feeling that your birth parents aren't ordinary people . Their identities may be really complicated . " Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian and guessed .

"I feel the same," Huo Mian said restlessly .

"Either way, I will help you find them . Don't worry . " Qin Chu consoled her again .

After they returned to C City, they immediately went to work . As soon as Huo Mian arrived at South Side, one of the nurses told her, "Head Nurse, Deputy Director Guo asked you to go to his office . "

"Okay . " Huo Mian nodded; she quickly changed into her white lab coat and headed up to the deputy director's office .
