If it were someone from outside, that would be fine. There are so many perverts in the world, and they have nothing to do with us anyway.

  What if it's someone from the Chen family? After all, considering the route of abandoning the body, the possibility is greater.

  In other words, in this house right before our eyes, a mental disorder is secretly growing and developing rapidly?

  This guess made me even more uneasy, and the faces of the Chen family flashed through my mind, but I couldn't catch any clues. Would this pervert have anything to do with tonight's fire? But don't worry, Wu Yu and I will keep watch all night, if it's really someone from our own family who set the fire, we'll definitely put it out before it spreads. By tonight, everything will be clear.

  But after some thought, I still feel that the danger of this night is greater than we expected. So I thought of a very impulsive and possibly futile method, and I called the only criminal police officer I know, who is also a very capable one - Shen Shiyan.

  Probably because of the unfamiliar rural phone number, Shen Shiyan answered with a flat tone that didn't reveal half a hint of his usual wooden self: "Hello?"

  "I said: 'It's me, Tan Jiao, we had a blind date a few months ago, do you still remember my voice?'"

  He paused for a moment and said, "It's you."

  Why is it that every time I talk to him, I get a feeling of being unable to continue the conversation?

  "Shen, listen carefully," I said word by word. "Tonight, a very serious fire will break out at the Chen family's ancestral home in Qingyang Town, Dalishui County. If you believe me, send police and firefighters over to prepare!"

  It fell silent.

  "Did you hear that clearly?" I'm too lazy to care about so much, anyway, in half a month, my time will be up ahead of schedule, and Shen Shiyan will probably be like a carp, forgetting everything, with memories related to me being vague.

  Even now, he would probably think I'm a psycho.

  "Tan Jiao, I'm in a meeting in Kun City right now and won't be able to make it to the place you mentioned tonight," he said. "Also, can you clarify the situation? How did you get this lead? Who's going to set the fire? I can't just rush out based on your word alone, and the bureau doesn't allow it either. And what was your name again... Shen something?"

  I laughed, sighed and said: "Shen Mu Tou, if I could make it clear, would I still need to ask for your help? It's just that it's not clear. Anyway, you believe me, right? I'm doing this to save people. A few lives are at stake, Officer Shen, isn't it better to believe in the possibility rather than dismissing it?" After finishing speaking, I hung up the phone.

  He immediately dialed back, and dialed several times, but I didn't answer again.

  I don't know what he will feel or react, but I have done my best.

  When I returned to the Chen's house, everything in front of me was as usual. Feng Yan had already gotten up and was quietly preparing breakfast; the gardeners had arrived. Among them, that handsome one, when he saw me, gave a faint smile. I suddenly understood that this was also a self-aware flirtatious person - indeed, there are few handsome men who are easy-going; some people were getting up to do their own things, while others hadn't gotten up yet. The old lady was upstairs, and the sound of music came from there, seemingly practicing tai chi.

  Chen Yue also came downstairs, took off her mask, and probably got over her cold. She sat on the sofa with a normal expression. We looked at each other, and she slowly said, "Tan sister, good morning." No smile. This attitude would make people's hearts skip a beat. I nodded, "Good morning."
