For a moment, Ren Yu thought Gong Yingxian was scolding him, and was stunned.

Gong Yingxian said, "these residual things on the ground should be rubbish."

"Oh, yes." Ren Yu kicked with his foot. Although most of them had been burned illegible, he could still judge that they were really rubbish.

"The dark marks on the floor tiles are indeed the free carbon decomposed by heavy components during liquid combustion, but are you sure about gasoline?" Gong Yingxian wrinkled his nose and smelled it. It was burning so violently that it was difficult to confirm whether it was really gasoline.

"If the gasoline was only used as a small amount of combustion supporting agent, the smell would not be obvious enough. I was still a distance from here because the center of the fire point was too hot for us to get through, and I'm not sure." Ren Yu shouted, "Zhang Wen, what instrument have you brought?"

Zhang Wen opened the toolbox: "team Ren, I only brought the hydrocarbon detector. I can't find the type. I have to take the sample back to the laboratory."

"Come on." Ren Yu broke off a broken floor tile from the ground and turned it over. Because of its permeability, the liquid will flow into the floor and under the floor tile, leaving obvious traces, while the volatile liquid will not, such as alcohol and ether. That's why they didn't find the real fire from the fourth perspective at the beginning.

Gong Yingxian said, "Zhang Wen, did you take pictures in the room?"

"Not yet."

"Take pictures quickly. We'll go in and have a look."

"OK, OK." Zhang Wen went to shoot the scene with his camera.

Gong Yingxian walked to the nearby residents, and Ren Yu followed.

"2209 is the house closest to the elevator entrance on the west side, close to the elevator pipe, and there is a ventilation window at the other end of the corridor. If you set fire here, the fire will look for oxygen from two directions and spread very quickly." Ren Yi shook his head, "the result is too tragic."

"The two households closest to the West stairs fled. The male owner of 2209 died. Could it be arson against 2209..." Gong Yingxian murmured.

They turned around and could only judge the fire path according to the burning trace. For the time being, they didn't find anything suspicious. At this time, Zhang Wen also finished shooting, and they entered 2209 together.

The door of 2209 has been burned. According to visual inspection, the burned area of the whole three rooms and two halls exceeds 70%, which is terrible.

Gong Yingxian took a deep breath. He clenched his hand in his trouser pocket into a fist, loosened it, and repeated it many times to adjust his mood.

Ren Yu said, "are you ok?"

Gong Yingxian nodded.

They watched the fire carefully.

"This is the place of death. The male host once tried to escape through the living room, but the fire was outside the door. He was trapped and finally fell here because of inhaling poison gas." Ren Xuan looked at the trace fixed line drawn on the ground and looked forward to the direction of the dead. It was only twenty steps away from the door, but even if he could pass, it was impossible to open the door.

Gong Yingxian investigated the action traces of the dead man before his death. He looked carefully at every window and door in every room. Except for some traces of self-help, there seemed to be nothing suspicious. He asked, "there are no obvious signs of intrusion and struggle. How was the result of the autopsy? Did you come out?"

"I'll call now," Zhang said

Ren Yu's investigation focused on the direction of fire spread and the burning trace of the circuit. If the fire path follows the normal law, it can at least prove that the indoor fire is not supported. In addition, the circuit fire currently accounts for the heaviest proportion of all fire causes, so this is also the part that must be checked. Although 90% of the fire causes have been determined and are outside the door, they should be just in case, just to eliminate all possibilities.

Zhang Wen called back: "Ren Dui, Dr. Gong, the cause of death was smoke poisoning. There was no trauma. There was no alcohol or drugs in the body. He died before he was burned."

"Xiao Zhang, come with me to check the circuit burning traces of the whole house."

"Yes."

They checked the circuit again, and there was no sign of circuit fire.

Ren Yu came out of his bedroom and saw Gong Yingxian squatting on the ground. He didn't know what he was looking at. He said, "at present, all the evidence points to the fire point and the cause of the fire is that the garbage outside the door was lit, and the trace of fire spread is logical."

Gong Yingxian gave a low "um".

Ren Yu felt something was wrong with him. He went over and squatted beside him: "Hey, you..."

Gong Yingxian's face was pale, his breath was short, he kept sweating on his forehead, and his eyes were straight.

Ren Yi said helplessly, "why do you embarrass yourself so much? I'll help you out to get some air."

Gong Yingxian shook his head: "I want to adapt. This is also a kind of treatment."

"How to adapt? Just force yourself?" Gong Yingxian's performance is severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Such "treatment" may be counterproductive.

"Yes, this is..." Gong Yingxian trembled, "the best way."

Ren Yu looked at him and was worried: "have you seen a psychologist? Why do you force yourself so hard?"

Gong Yingxian looked up at Ren Yu and said, "if I can't even overcome this, how can I be a police inspector and catch an arsonist?"

Ren Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Gong Yingxian tried to adjust his breathing, and then stood up: "it's all right."

"Why don't we stop here today? Some of the evidence we extracted also needs Xiao Zhang to go back to the laboratory for analysis. You also need time to investigate the social relations of residents. If necessary, we'll come back tomorrow."

Gong Yingxian thought and nodded.

When he went downstairs, Zhang Wen left first. Ren Yu saw a slight blood color on Gong Yingxian's face: "are you ok? Can you drive?"

"Nothing." Gong Yingxian glanced at Ren Yu, "unless you really want to drive for me."

Ren Yu sneered, "you really make me addicted. OK, I really want to drive you now. Where do you want to go?"

Gong Yingxian pulled his cuff and looked down at his watch: "my colleague just sent me a message. Cai Wan's brother has been brought to justice. He has just been sent to the branch. Do you want to have a look together?"

"Of course, I'd love to try him myself."

"Let's go."

The two walked to the car. Ren Yu consciously stretched out his hand: "come on."

Gong Yingxian first opened the trunk, took out his incubator from inside, and then threw the key to Ren Yu.

"Why, are you inviting me to dinner in the car again?"

"I want to eat myself."

"You haven't had lunch yet?"

"Busy morning." Gong Yingxian opened the door on the left side of the second row.

"Well, No." Ren Yi pushed the door, "if you want me to drive for you, take the co pilot."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to see you in the rearview mirror when we chat. It's not safe."

Gong Yingxian frowned: "why do you look at me from the rearview mirror? Just chat and move your mouth. What do you see me doing?"

"..." Ren Yu rolled his eyes. "Normal human beings have eye contact when chatting. This is a habit and uncontrollable."

Gong Yingxian thought, "well, it makes sense." He went around to the co pilot.

Ren Yu whispered, "sometimes you can remind yourself not to do it by looking at your face."

"Do it? What do you do?"

"... nothing."

After getting on the bus, Gong Yingxian spread the meal cloth on his legs, carefully took out the lunch box and ate it slowly.

Ren Yi glanced obliquely at what he ate. It was almost appetizing.

"I know what you're thinking." Gong Yingxian snorted coldly, "don't think I don't know if I criticize my eating habits in my heart."

"You criticize me, too. Let's be even."

"Fortunately, we don't have to eat together."

Ren Yu said in a tone of hatred for iron but not steel: "do you know how many delicious foods you missed? Hot pot, barbecue and steamed stuffed buns are all hot. Even if you don't eat these, Chinese food is always hot. Don't you wonder, don't you want to try."

Gong Yingxian shook his head: "no, I hate hot things."

"How many degrees is high temperature?"

"Exceeding human body temperature."

Ren Yu looked at him incredulously, "do you hate people, too?"

"Unless you want to make unnecessary physical contact with me."

"... no, you mean you never make unnecessary physical contact with humans?"

"Yes."

"What is necessary and what is unnecessary?"

"Most of them are unnecessary, such as shaking hands." Gong Yingxian looked at his gloved hand, "but in order to work, I can only try to integrate into social customs."

Ren Yi swallowed his saliva and his heart was full of curiosity: "then... That, have you ever been in love?" After asking, his heart suddenly jumped a few times.

Gong Yingxian squinted at Ren Yu.

"In love, you have to... You know."

Gong Yingxian said without changing his face: "the most intimate physical contact, body harmony, fluid exchange and organ friction, do you want to say these?"

Ren Yu's face was wonderful and could not answer for a moment.

"No, why should I have the closest physical contact with a person, body harmony, fluid exchange, health..."

"Well, well, stop talking." Ren Yu was so embarrassed that the corners of his mouth twitched. In order to ease the atmosphere, he looked down, glanced at the important part of Gong Yingxian, and joked: "Dr. Gong, are you... Huh?"

Gong Yingxian glanced along his eyes, then stared at him: "are you suggesting that I have an obstacle to male reproductive function?"

Ren Yu suddenly felt his face tight. He really doubted that he was cheap. Why did he ask for trouble? If embarrassment could kill, he would have been angry. He is not a thin skinned person. He usually has no psychological burden to open a yellow harmony cavity, but this kind of thing must come and go. He threw a table tennis ball and Gong Yingxian gave him a bowling ball. It's too much.

"All my physical indicators are very sound." Gong Yingxian said, "I don't need it. It doesn't mean it's not easy to use. If you think you can question my sexual harmony function without sexual harmony, I can also question yours." He also deliberately glanced at Ren Yu's place and gave a sneer.

Ren Yu stared: "what do you mean?"

"I mean what you mean."

"I, I am also very easy to use, okay."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Yours has nothing to do with me!"

"Then why do you ask, when you're full?"

Ren Yu was speechless.

Gong Yingxian smiled proudly and put away his lunch box.

Ren Yu stopped talking. He was afraid that he would send his head again.

But after a while, Gong Yingxian suddenly said, "you are very curious."

"Ah... Maybe."

"You like to ask or question anything you think I'm different from ordinary people."

"Yes."

"Yes, you are curious about me."

Ren Yu suddenly felt guilty: "first of all, I'm curious about you. I don't mean anything else, just..."

"But you never ask me why I hate fire, hospitals and hot things." Gong Yingxian slightly deviated his head, and his eyes were deep and bright, as if he could penetrate everything.

Ren Yu was silent.

"You already know." Gong Yingxian said calmly, "what did you hear from others?"

"I, I didn't ask, didn't ask too much..."

"It doesn't matter. I didn't deliberately hide it. You asked me why I became a police inspector. It was really my childhood experience that made me decide to become a police inspector." Gong Yingxian said, "however, I don't like talking to anyone. Although you are very curious, you haven't mentioned it. It's good."

Ren Yi sighed in his heart: "everyone has stories he doesn't want to mention. Between friends, there should be some standards."

Gong Yingxian was slightly stunned. He said cautiously, "are we friends?"

Ren Yu was also stunned: "Er, right, we met every three or five times." At the end, his tone became more and more insecure.

Gong Yingxian stared straight ahead and was silent.

Ren Yu felt uneasy. He hadn't felt like a teenager for a long time. He took a deep breath: "don't you want to be friends with me? I think your housekeeper and your sister support it."

Gong Yingxian shrugged, turned to look out of the window and said casually, "well, let's be friends."

Ren Yi stole a glance at Gong Yingxian. Suddenly he wanted to laugh, and a smile really came out of the corner of his mouth.
