    Obtaining his first job made Liang Xi very happy. After leaving the police station, he immediately went to John's house, planning to tell John the good news as soon as possible, and grab lunch by the way.

    When the car arrived nearby, Liang Xi saw thick smoke billowing not far away.  An ambulance blew its horn and overtook another car. Liang Xi continued to drive for a few hundred meters and was stopped by a patrol car, and the road section was temporarily controlled.  Liang Xi didn't have time to talk nonsense with the police, so he got out of the car and ran towards the thick smoke.

    His hunch was right, John's house was burning ragingly, and a fire truck that arrived earlier sprayed water on the house in vain.  Liang Xi saw Mary, who was wrapped in a warm blanket and covered in water, sitting dazed aside, while the medical staff were examining her body.  Liang Xi stepped forward immediately: "Mary!"

    Mary slowly looked at Liang Xi, and Liang Xi asked urgently, "Where's John?"

    Mary: "Huh?"

    Liang patted Mary's face: "Where's John?"

    The doctor stopped him, grabbed Liang Xi's hand and said, "She suffered a sudden traumatic mental disorder and cannot answer your question now."

    Mary suddenly came back to her senses, looked towards the house, and shouted heartbreakingly: "John, John is still inside."

    "Grass!" Liang Xi ran towards the house, but the firefighters didn't stop him.  A firefighter chased after the beam, and two firefighters sprayed water on their heads.  As soon as Liang Xi approached the house, the house collapsed.  Liang Xi couldn't hold his feet, and fell to the ground because the ground was slippery.  The firefighters grabbed Liang Xi's back and dragged Liang Xi away from the fire.

    Liang Xi stared blankly at the burning house for a long time, pushed away the firefighter and stood up, running to Mary's side: "John isn't inside, right? Right?" From 10:00 am to 11:30 am  , it¡¯s John who can¡¯t fall asleep at night to catch up on sleep during the day, and it¡¯s ten past ten in the morning.  Even so, Liang Xi was unwilling to believe that his life mentor was gone just like that. He asked Mary with a glimmer of hope, hoping that John would go out temporarily today.

    Facing Liang Xi's questioning, Mary didn't answer, but just hugged Liang Xi and cried bitterly

    In the past three days, Liang Xi was very depressed and very busy.  On the one hand, he has to take care of Mary, and on the other hand, he has to communicate with the police. There are many odd things.

    Three days later, the Kent police officer in charge of the case and Liang Xi invited by phone to meet at the hotel where Mary was temporarily staying.

    Kent is forty years old this year and is a very experienced fire investigation police officer.  In the past two days, he received many calls from Liang Xi, and his boss put a lot of pressure on him. His team devoted himself to the fire investigation.  The investigation has come to an end today, he must inform the family members of his findings and answer the family members' questions.

    Kent handed an identification report to Liang Xi: "The forensic doctor conducted a DNA comparison through the bone marrow and confirmed that the only deceased on the second floor was John. It was done three times."

    Liang Xi nodded, and Mary couldn't help crying again.  She struggled to control her emotions and went to the bathroom to process the tears.

    Kent took out another pack of copies, dumped it on the table, and said, "Mr. Liang, we believe the fire was caused by humans."

    This answer was within Liang Xi's expectation, the fire spread too fast.  After John fell asleep, Mary went to a convenience store 30 meters away to buy baking soda for baking a cake.  As soon as he arrived at the convenience store, the fire exploded, attracting the attention of many people around him.  The fire started six minutes before Liang Xi arrived. After Liang Xi arrived, the house had burned down.  And Liang Xi found that flames spread throughout the house.

    Kent said: "I didn't find the ignition point, and I'm sure the combustion accelerant is gasoline. I watched the fire development in the monitor. Based on my years of experience in handling cases, at least three people dumped a large amount of gasoline together to cause such a fire in a short time.  Mr. Liang, you are also a detective, based on my description, do you think the other party needs to set fire to kill John?"

    Liang Xi asked, "What do you mean?"

    Kent played a surveillance video and played it back and forth for more than ten seconds. He pointed to a location on the screen and asked, "From the on-site investigation and my speculation, the gangsters focused on burning this location and used the thermal agent. The thermal agent is in the  It was used in wars decades ago to destroy confidential materials such as paper, radio, and equipment in emergencies. Can you tell me what is in this location?"

    Liang Xidao: "This is a secret room on the first floor near the backyard. It is about 20 square meters. It is a place for John's secret reception. Three years ago, John spent tens of thousands of pounds to install a set of advanced anti-corrosion equipment for the secret room.  A wiretapping device. In fact, I have never seen him use it. It is said to be a secret room, but it is more like a library, with built-in bookshelves on all four walls, filled with books. I once suspected that the secret room was a place where John escaped from Mary."

    Kent asked, "Is there anything important in there?"

    Liang Xi recalled it for a long time, and said: "One day two years ago, Mary went to the hospital to visit a good friend. I received a call from John.?? sound.  I rushed to John's house, listened to the sound of the mobile phone and opened the secret room, and found John unconscious in the secret room.  It was only when he was sent to the hospital that he realized that John's high blood sugar caused electrolyte imbalance.  At that time I saw a book, a map, and a sextant on the table.  The map is much like a treasure map, with the pirate logo painted on it, and a red X.  Afterwards I asked John, and John insisted that I was wrong and that there were no maps or sextants.  "

    Ken nodded, pirate treasures are so nonsense, London doesn't even rely on the sea.

    Liang Xi said: "Officer Kent, have you found someone for me?"

    Kent: "Who?"

    Liang Xi said: "In the past few months, John has often gone out, almost once every two or three days to meet an old friend, and each meeting lasted more than three hours, and even more than ten hours once. Mary said that the other party was called Ma  Hugh, a life and death friend of John's when he was young. But Mary herself has never met this man named Matthew,"

    Thinking of John's entrustment that seemed like a marriage change, Liang Xi thought that John felt the danger.  It was so dangerous that John was unwilling to reveal a word to Liang Xi.

    Kent shook his head: "I'm sorry, we didn't find this Matthew. John is a friend of the chief of the Police Department, and the above attaches great importance to this case. I will feed back the information to the Police Department. I hope to continue the investigation through the power of the Police Department."

    Liang Xi blamed himself: "I should have asked more."

    Kent comforted: "Mr. Liang, it has nothing to do with you. I will inform you as soon as I have the latest clues. Right now John is not very good-looking."

    Liang Xi understood what Kent meant, and said, "I will get Mary's commission."

    Ken nodded: "The Forensic Medical Examination Office is near the police station."

    Liang Xi said: "Okay, I'll go and get things done in the afternoon."

    Kent stood up and shook hands with Liang Xi: "Mr. Liang, if you have any clues, you must inform me and don't act privately. From my judgment, the other party is not a good person."

    Liang Xi promised: "I will contact you if I have any clues."

    Kent glanced at the bathroom: "I'll trouble you to take care of Mary."

    Liang Xi: "Thank you for your concern, I can handle it."

    "goodbye."

    "goodbye."

    When the forensic office recognized the body, Liang Xi could no longer recognize that it was John, or even a person.  After one glance at Liang Xi, he couldn't bear to look again, and silently pulled the white cloth.

    The funeral was held two days later, and there were all kinds of people attending the funeral.  There are retired and current Metropolitan Police chiefs, fishermen from Northern Ireland, FBI agents from the United States, alcoholics from Belgium.  There are more than a hundred people eloquently.  Mary barely recognized a handful of them.

    After the funeral, Liang Xi first received fire insurance, personal accident insurance and property insurance from the insurance company.  Since Mary is used to living in the community, Liang Xixian rented a villa far from her original home for Mary to live in.  After seeking Mary's opinion, contact the construction company to rebuild a house on the original site according to the original appearance of the house.

    Two months later, the house was completed. According to his memory and Mary's description, Liang Xi ordered the same furniture as possible.

    Three months later, Mary moved back into a home that was much like her own.

    With the help of the community church, Mary finally let go of the past, changed some of her living habits, and began to participate in various activities organized by the church.  Seeing Mary talking and laughing with his aunt, Liang Xi knew that nothing and nothing could fill Mary's regret of losing John.

    After the matter was settled, Liang Xi deposited the remaining insurance money into Mary's account.  With Mary returning to the track of life, Liang Xi's life is getting sadder every day.  After paying the funeral expenses and deducting my own expenses for the past three months, the five thousand pounds is not much left.  The translation job with an hourly salary of 80 pounds, which Liang Xi regarded as a life-saving straw, has not even had a phone call.

    After three months, everything seemed to be back to normal, except for the jingling sound of Liang Xi's pocket because he was poor.
