Chapter 78

Liu Huai'an collapsed to the ground in fear, and then cried loudly: "I didn't mean to... I didn't expect... The fire was so big... I didn't know my father was inside..."

At this time, there were many people outside, pointing at the door of the consulting room. They didn't know what had happened.

Before long, director Liu separated the crowd and asked, "Oh, what's the matter, what's the matter?"

Seeing Liu Huaian shivering on the ground and wailing endlessly, director Liu accused Aoki and said, "I let you see if you can stop him, but I didn't let you scare him! It's going to scare him for good or ill... Alas, I knew I wouldn't bring him."

She pulled Liu Huaian up and scolded, "it's a big dog day. Why are people still crying? Come on, let's go home!"

In the afternoon, director Liu came back.

"Oh, Mr. Aoki, I'm sorry about that just now. I didn't expect him to do that. Don't mind!" director Liu probably apologized for Aoki's abandonment.

Aoki smiled and said, "is he okay?"

Director Liu said, "who? Oh, you said Huai'an! It's all right! What can he do?"

"Director Liu, do you know the details of the fire more than 20 years ago?" Aoki asked.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then tell me about the situation."

"Oh, I'm flustered when I say this. Let me think about it." director Liu took a glass of pure water from the water dispenser and took a gulp of it, as if the water could put out the fire, "The fire started from the Internet cafe. That fire killed many people! At that time, your eldest sister, I was still young and occasionally went online. Fortunately, I wasn't there that day. Ouch, I'm afraid when I think of it!"

"Did Liu Huai'an open the Internet cafe?"

"How could it be?" director Liu looked disdainful. "At that time, Liu Huaian was in his early twenties. He was a little gangster. We called them 'rotten wood', just a rotten wood. How could it be possible to open an Internet cafe?"

Aoki thinks the title "rotten wood" is appropriate. The so-called rotten wood can't be carved, which is a lot more than the name image of a small gangster.

Director Liu said: "Liu Huai'an's family conditions are not good. His parents are laid off. His father sells baked cakes at the entrance of the alley. We all call him Wu Dalang. His mother is not local and looks handsome. Everyone also jokingly calls her Pan Jinlian. It's his second uncle who has been wandering outside for several years and has opened a wool textile factory. It's very big. The Internet cafe is next to the wool textile factory. It seems that his second uncle and others jointly opened it."

"What about Liu Huaian? He didn't go out to work?" Aoki asked.

"That rotten wood is idle all day. When he has no money to spend, he goes to his second uncle's Internet cafe to eat, drink and play for free. He also enlarges the belly of the little girl at the cashier of others' Internet cafe and is beaten up by his second uncle." director Liu said angrily and sighed again, "But don't say, this man's life is doomed. The fire burned the Internet cafe and wool mill, but didn't burn Liu Huaian to death. Do you think it was his life?"

"He wasn't there that day?"

"Yes, I was surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe, but it was so coincidental that when the fire broke out, he went out to buy snacks." director Liu said.

Aoki said "Oh" and understood what was going on. He asked director Liu, "his second uncle was burned?"

"It's not just his second uncle! His father, his mother, his aunt, his uncle and his cousins are all dead!" director Liu thought of it and his teeth trembled and his face turned blue. "At that time, they all worked in the wool mill and slept in the mill at night. I don't know why Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian went there that day. Alas! It's all fate!"

Aoki asked, "have you found out the cause of the fire?"

Director Liu said: "the fire control said it was caused by the fire of Internet cafe wires. Anyway, it has been difficult to approve the license of Internet cafe since then."

Aoki understands that in the 1990s, the fire inspection will not be as strict as it is now.

Every improvement in the system comes after a major accident; every change in concept comes from bloody lessons. Our respect for life and our awe of nature are far from enough.

Liu Huaian is a patient with severe paranoia. I don't know why the identification given to him by the hospital can't reach the standard of mental disability.

Aoki can now conclude that the fire was placed by Liu Huai.

Maybe he didn't mean it, maybe he just wanted to revenge his second uncle. He didn't expect that the fire would burn so big that they all burned to death.

Since then, his spirit has split. He has found many reasons for himself to set the fire, so that he doesn't look so bad.

He began to delusion that his mother had an affair with his second uncle. The legend of Pan Jinlian and Wu ER and his father's weak character gave him the basis for his delusion.

Liu Huai'an mentioned the matrix, which was a film in the late 1990s. Maybe it was after watching this film that he began to fantasize that his body was equipped with chips. He imagined that the Internet was a huge network with wisdom, connecting computers and terminals all over the world as his nerve endings, monitoring human behavior and eventually eliminating human beings.

He delusioned that he had become a double-sided spy between mankind and the Internet, so his fire became a fire of justice. Although he sacrificed his family, he saved mankind. He became a hero who killed his relatives in righteousness.

Aoki thought a lot, but he didn't tell director Liu these guesses. He believed that some smart people must have thought of this, but there was no evidence.

More than 20 years ago, not only did the fire inspection not be strict, the people's safety awareness was not high, and the detection means and efficiency of the case were far lower than now. It was normal to regard an arson case as an accident.

Aoki has no evidence.

But he doesn't need it.

He just needs to enter Liu Huaian's subconscious. No one can hide his thoughts in subconscious dreams. Unless the other party's mental strength is strong enough to resist his invasion. At least Aoki hasn't met such people yet.

However, what can be done?

The police won't believe what he said. They won't be willing to overturn the accident that was identified more than 20 years ago and turn it into arson. Moreover, the guy who may be the murderer is still a well-known madman.

In the evening, Aoki didn't go back to Ruhua bar after closing the door. Recently, in order to catch up with the progress, the decoration workers always leave after dark.

He took the coal boss out to the street, ordered a bowl of fried fish noodles in a famous noodle restaurant in Liuying lane, and ordered a fried shrimp for the coal boss.

There are many people who eat noodles. They naturally give Aoki a cold eye, especially with a bird that is generally considered unknown.

Aoki has the spirit of being cold to Qianfu's fingers, and is willing to eat fried fish noodles. As long as the coal boss is not noisy, he won't cause too much criticism most of the time.

However, he knew that the broken mouth of the crow could not be closed for long, and he would be blind BB after eating the shrimp, so he also ate it as quickly as possible.

When paying, he asked, "boss, noodle shop has been open for many years."

"For more than 20 years, old Wuzhong people know," said the boss.

"More than 20 years..." Aoki sighed. "I heard that there was a wool mill before, and then it burned down."

"Oh, that's early." the boss seemed to think of his 18-year-old youth. "At that time, my shop was just opened. That fire burned all day and night, good guy!"

"A lot of people died?"

"That's not true! The official said nine. In fact, we know sixteen or seven alone." the boss shook his head and sighed.

"Where is the factory?"

"It's not far from the alley at the entrance to the old farmers' market. It was originally said to build residential buildings. The real estate company was afraid that Feng Shui was not good and did not build them, so it changed to farmers' market."

"Oh, thank you."

Aoki took the coal boss into the alley.
