Chapter 106 Mission Completed
As Chris and the other two perished in the flames, Carrie's inner turmoil was finally resolved. She embraced her mother, tears of emotion streaming down her face.
At the same time, a familiar system notification sounded in Li Qing's mind.
"Congratulations, host, for completing World Mission One: Punishing School Bully Chris and receiving three chances to win a prize from the system."
"Congratulations, host, for completing World Mission Two: Saving Carrie and gaining four chances to draw prizes from the system."
The mission was successfully completed, and Li Qing smiled brightly. His hard work had paid off.
Li Qing turned to look at Carrie and her daughter and said, "Get ready. The firefighters should be here soon. We need to explain the cause and course of events to them, since three people lost their lives in this accident."
The explosion was so loud that it woke up many residents in the vicinity.
Upon seeing that there was a fire and an explosion at the house of his neighbor, Mrs. Margaret, even someone who disliked Mrs. Margaret would have to call the firefighters.
No matter what, it would be bad if such a big fire spread to one's own home.
They didn't understand why the fire truck was delayed after they called the police.
Logically speaking, Amberton Town isn't very big, so the fire truck should arrive quickly after the alarm is raised.
Some neighbors, who enjoy watching the excitement, rushed out of their homes in their pajamas and slippers, grabbed their phones, and left.
As he approached Mrs. Margaret's house, he witnessed a scene that left him speechless.
The raging flames ignited a patch of the night sky.
In front of the burning house, a human-shaped figure floating in the air and a red car stand out.
Below is an unfamiliar Asian figure, along with Margaret and her daughter.
The eerie scene made him afraid to get any closer. He tried to take out his phone to record the scene, but found that the phone wouldn't turn on no matter what he did.
Then a soft chuckle echoed in my mind.
"roll!"
The sound startled him so much that he nearly wet himself and dropped his phone.
Looking at Li Qing in front of the fire, the neighbors who had been watching the commotion realized that this was something he couldn't get involved in.
Meddling in other people's business might just get you into trouble!
The same thing happened to several onlookers, who then dared not continue watching and quickly moved away from Mrs. Margaret's house.
The bolder ones continued to watch from a distance, while the timid ones retreated directly to their homes.
Li Qing didn't do much about it; he just gave them a warning.
Li Qing is not a cruel person; he wouldn't randomly resort to violence.
......
Outside Kaba Street, a fire truck is parked on the street.
The firefighter in the driver's cab looked anxious, but no matter how much he pressed the accelerator, the fire truck wouldn't budge and remained stationary.
White smoke was billowing from the tires, but the fire truck didn't move an inch.
"Mike, what's going on here?" the driver asked the firefighter in the passenger seat.
"Who knows? It's a bit strange. Do you think there might be some unknown, mysterious force preventing us from putting out the fire?"
Mike shrugged and guessed.
"Don't think too much about it. You can see the fire from here. I reckon the house will be burned to ashes in no time!"
A firefighter in the back seat poked his head out and said.
Suddenly, the fire truck, freed from the mysterious force that restrained it, shot off. The sudden acceleration caused him to lose his balance and slam into the back seat.
"I rely on!"
"Get moving, Mike!"
"You don't need to tell me! Anyone can see it!"
......
After a few minutes' wait, a fire truck with its red lights flashing arrived at the scene.
A total of three fire trucks and twenty rescue personnel arrived at the scene.
However, the firefighters did not immediately begin extinguishing the fire upon arrival at the scene.
Firefighter Mike looked at the house, which had been reduced to a mere frame, and felt that there was no point in putting out the fire; it was already completely burned down.
But we only get paid for putting out fires, so we still have to take action.
A dozen minutes later, Mike walked up to Mrs. Margaret.
"Madam, the situation has been confirmed. We will begin extinguishing the fire now."
Mike looked at Mrs. Margaret and said.
Mrs. Margaret wanted to say something, but Li Qing stopped her.
The 20-person rescue team then began operations, connecting two high-pressure water cannons to the fire hydrants by the roadside.
High-pressure water jets shot from the nozzles and sprayed towards the fire.
More than 20 minutes later, thanks to the tireless efforts of the rescuers, the fire was successfully extinguished.
Two rescuers went into the ruins after the fire to check the situation, but found three charred corpses that were unrecognizable.
The scene was horrific, and the two of them were immediately terrified.
How is this going?
Wasn't it just a simple fire?
How come there are three corpses here?
This is serious, they all thought at the same time.
......
A dozen minutes later, police tape was put up around Carrie's house.
The town's Black sheriff questioned Mrs. Margaret about the situation.
When questioned by the sheriff, Mrs. Margaret simply shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she knew nothing about the situation.
She said she escaped the scene with her daughter after the fire broke out and knew nothing more.
Helpless, the sheriff turned to Carrie to ask about the situation, but Carrie, like Margaret, knew nothing.
Faced with the mother and daughter, the police chief was somewhat helpless and decided to take them back to the police station first.
At this moment, Li Qing spoke up. He looked at the black police chief and said, "Officer, I do know something about this murder case."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sheriff turned around abruptly, stared at Li Qing, and asked urgently, "Sir, what do you know? Tell me quickly!"
“I was taking a walk in the evening and passed by Carrie’s house when I saw a car stop next to Carrie’s house, and then three figures got out of the car.”
"Officer, it's that red car."
As Li Qing spoke, he pointed to Billy's red car.
"Oh? Really? Jimmy, go check the information on that car!"
At the sheriff's call, a young man came to his side.
"Yes, Sheriff!"
“Sir, please continue,” the sheriff said.
"Yes, I saw those three sneak into Carrie's house, and then I saw Carrie's house suddenly catch fire. After that, I saw Carrie and her daughter flee the fire in a panic, but I didn't see those three people come out."
The sheriff stroked his chin with one hand, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You mean that the fire was deliberately set by those three people? And then they accidentally caught fire and couldn't escape?"
“That’s right, that’s my guess,” Li Qing said seriously.
The sheriff looked at Li Qing with a strange expression.
Setting a fire and then setting yourself on fire, dying in the flames—that's incredibly stupid. No normal person would be that foolish, right?
