Chapter 17 Live
The basement was badly burned down.
From the stairs, there is a strong burning smell.
Zhao Xuan introduced the situation as she walked. "After we found that the ghost converter was lost, we immediately tested the whole fire scene. Although on the surface, it was an accidental fire, after being tested by the technicians of our association, it is basically certain that it was a deliberate arson. The arsoner uses a small timed explosive flame spell array commonly used on the black market, which blows up the power supply of the tea room water dispenser. The biggest feature of this spell array is that the mana can spread quickly along the power line, and the power will break out every other distance, so the fire will become uncontrollable in a short time. Moreover, after testing, the underground layer was sprayed with hidden flame particles before the fire broke out. Once it encountered an open fire, it immediately broke out, and the whole underground layer turned into ashes in an instant. We suspect that at least one of the arsonists is a mage specializing in flame spells.
The Dongting mage who came with Liang Tingting dispersed on the underground floor, took out all kinds of detectors he carried with him, and began to re-survey the scene of the fire. Yong Bowen's group basically knew nothing about detection, so they could only stop at the stairs on the ground floor with Liang Tingting and watch. Only Gu Junming, a nerd, did not stop. He also followed the master of Dongting to the scene of the fire, looked around, and pinched a small amount of dust from the ground from time to time to observe carefully.
Liang Tingting would not be idle and asked, "What's the situation with the two missing mages?"
Zhao Xuan said, "These two mages are senior members of the meeting. One is Wang Huanzhang and the other is Lu Ruiliang. They are all veteran members. Among them, Wang Huanzhang is from the Mohe Icefield School. Ten years ago, he was recommended by the Ice Source School and joined the association. Over the years, he has been living in the Ice City. He has opened a Mohe Icefield specialty store. The benefits are not bad. Three years ago, he crossed the border from Russia because he participated in the roundup. The vampire has been promoted to an orange emblem member. He is usually low-key and kind, and he is not very sociable. Lu Ruiliang is a disciple of our shamanism. His father, Lu Xiyou, is an old man in the school. He died of illness five years ago. Before his death, he made a request to the association to help arrange his son's employment. Lu Ruiliang's qualifications are mediocre and his spell level is low, but Lu Xiyou once made contributions to the church and the association. In consideration of taking care of the meritorious officials, the association included Lu Ruiliang in the meeting and designated him as a silver emblem member. He is usually responsible for logistics cleaning in the association. He is relatively frivolous, likes to make friends, and is unwilling to do things for ten years. I haven't been able to upgrade.
Liang Tingting asked again, "What standard did you choose to guard the ghost converter?"
Zhao Xuan replied, "The most important thing is that the situation is clear, the family is innocent, and the magic level is secondary. It is mainly to consider that it is close to the headquarters of the Ice City Mage Association and the headquarters of the Heilongjiang Mage Association. Once something happens, the brigade can support it at any time. A total of eight mages have been selected here, all of whom are old people from the association, and they all know everything. Usually, there are two people in groups, and four shifts are rotated.
"Are the partners usually fixed?"
"It's all fixed, so it's more convenient to cooperate and arrange time."
"How long is it from the shift time when the fire burns?"
"Uh... wait a minute." Zhao Xuan was asked for a moment, and turned around and asked a mage behind her in a low voice. It was a middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a straight suit, gold glasses, and a briefcase under his ribs. His hair was combed, not to mention a faint fragrance. From the beginning of the fight, he has been standing a little behind Zhao Xuan's left side. No matter how he moves, he always stays in this position. Hearing Zhao Xuan's inquiry, the middle-aged mage opened his briefcase, took out a printed form from it, and handed it to Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan took the form and looked at it. She couldn't help frowning, handed it back to the middle-aged man, and said to Liang Tingting, "Just about 15 minutes before the takeover. We neglected this. It seems that there should be something wrong with Wang Huanzhang and Lu Ruiliang. They lit the fire in order to delay the time so that the successor could not immediately know that the ghost converter had been stolen by them. Guangyu, immediately arrange someone to go to Wang Huanzhang and Lu Ruiliang's house to monitor, and report as soon as there is a situation. The middle-aged man with glasses behind Zhao Xuan took out his mobile phone and went to the side to make a phone call.
"These two people are old people in the meeting, and they don't know the ghost converter..." Zhao Xuan paused. She didn't know how many people present knew about this matter. She braked in time and said, "How much can I exchange for stealing a ghost converter? It doesn't make any sense at all. What's more, isn't this ghost converter a product promoted by Fish Corporation? When they go on sale, won't their behavior become a joke?
Liang Tingting said, "I'm not sure whether it was done by two accomplices or one of them. Let's wait until the test results come out. Now that it's done, it's worth it for them.
Zhao Xuan didn't say anything more. She took a step back and stood next to Yong Bowen and asked in a low voice, "Yong Tianshi, when I called Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu was a little annoyed. Will it affect the business of the express company?" She didn't avoid any suspicion. She was very close to Yong Bowen. Her arms were next to her arms, and her mouth was almost close to Yong Bowen's ears.
Yong Bowen felt a burst of sweet fragrance, and his ears were warm and itchy. He couldn't help but beat faster. He quickly gave a step to the side and whispered, "Chairman Yu has asked to return all the company's ghost converters and temporarily stop the express delivery business." Zhao Xuan couldn't help but be a little anxious when she heard it. "Well, the loss of the express company is very big. Do you want to stop this business?" Yong Bowen nodded and said, "Maybe I can't do this kind of business anymore. I have arranged for Han Ya to inform the person in charge of local branches to bring the ghost converter to Spring City for a meeting in person. Because I came here, I was directly notified by me. Chairman Zhao..." Zhao Xuan said, "Tianshi, look at your name. Strictly speaking, I'm a migrant worker under you. I'll just ask for it. If you look up to me, just call me Sister Zhao. While talking, he leaned forward again. Yong Bowen muttered in his heart and said to himself, "Even if you want to whisper and communicate in private, you don't have to be so close." But it's hard to say. Yong Bowen is not familiar with Zhao Xuan, the head of the branch. If either Han Ya, Yu Chunbing, Luo Xiaonan or Ji Leer comes, he can know better than him. He coughed dryly and took a small step back. "Sister Zhao, you have to prepare for the work. Ordinary employees can only be dismissed and can be repaid three months' salary as compensation. The company is responsible for this money. As for the mage employees, let them be psychologically prepared. I plan to use the express company's network to carry out new business..." Zhao Xuan was happy when she heard this. In fact, the profit of the express company is not very large. For Zhao Xuan, the eldest child, it is completely dispensable, but the significance of this express company is extraordinary. The boss of the head office is a new master, and the other is the apple of Yu Chengshi. For Zhao Xuan, this company is doomed to the future with these two. Infinite young people are close to the bond of the relationship. She hurriedly asked, "What kind of business do you want to do?"
Just as Yong Bowen was about to answer, Gu Junming shouted, "No, no, completely wrong!"
