Chapter 495: Identity Swap

ly's daughter is back, I want to see what they plan to do next."Yes, General Zhao!Han Dong nodded and then left the room.Zhao Fenglin only then rubbed his brow, embraced his wife, and said with guilt:...In the monitoring room, everyone watching through the screen could smell the gunpowder between the two, and it was clearly Ripples who had the upper hand.

Tong Wanwan watched the monitor screen, her lips pursed tightly. Taking advantage of the pause in their conversation, she explained further:

"Ripple was obviously provoking, but it seemed like Yunyi didn't understand the situation. She seemed angry, but she held back. Based on Yunyi's facial expressions, I couldn't tell if she was lying at the moment. The evidence wasn't enough to make a judgment."

"It's fine, we have plenty of time. Let's keep observing."

Man Liang sat calmly in the chair, arms crossed, as he spoke.

"Yes, Chief."

Inside the room, Lian Ri gazed at the other's dark eyes, a flicker of disappointment crossing her eyes before she spoke.

“You've been undercover for eight years. You should know better than anyone that there are some lines you just don't cross. Those temptations are everywhere. The moment you decide to step aside and let the Special Crimes Unit clean up your mess, you're walking down a one-way street.”

"I didn't!"

Yun Yi suddenly slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and vehemently denied Lian Ri's words.

Liàn Yī watched the other person calmly, then directly kicked out at the table. She controlled her strength, so the table only bumped into Yún Yì's thigh, causing him to fall back into his chair.

Don't be impulsive, everyone can see your every move, and it's better to let reason speak louder than words.

Ripple, with her legs crossed nonchalantly, said.

Yun Yi slumped back into her chair, and a change came over the look in her eyes as she gazed at Lian Ri. She seemed to realize that he was stronger than she had imagined.

In another room, Tong Wanwan raised her eyes to look at the time in the upper right corner of the monitor screen. She silently counted five numbers in her heart, and then she heard the alarm go off.

"This is a fire alarm!"

What's going on

"Send someone to take a look!"

Wan Liang immediately said.

"Yes!"

Someone immediately pushed the door out.

The four lions who were originally guarding the door to the ripple room also turned their attention this way.

"Two of you come with me to check the situation."

The man immediately beckoned to the lion.

"I'm going with Xuansi. You two stay here."

The lion gave a warning and then followed the man out of the room.

In another room, Tong Wanwan pointed at the monitor and said:

"Chief, look! Something's wrong with this display!"

Everyone immediately turned their attention back from the alarm, to the monitor screen. They also noticed something was amiss, because it was just too obvious.

In the painting, the two people seem to have also heard the siren, and then stood up one after the other, looking towards the direction of the door, and the painting was fixed at this moment.

With a "poof," the room's connection to the surveillance lines suddenly sparked, causing a short circuit. All the monitor screens went black instantly, losing their feed completely.

"Quick! Go see next door!"

Wan Liang reacted quickly, immediately saying something and running out of the room first. Tong Wanwan's eyes flickered, and she followed closely behind.

But when everyone had left, they realized that the person who should have been guarding the door was gone.

Wan Liang pushed twice but couldn't open the door. It seemed like the door was locked from the inside. He started knocking, but there was still no response.

Tong WanWan then shouted outside:

"Ripple Sister, are you guys okay Open the door quickly!"

But the room remained silent. In this situation, Wan Liang started to ram against the door with his shoulder. Along with the sound of them banging on the door, there was also the sound of an alarm.

"Wan Ge, it's this building on fire, and it started from this house. We've already called 119, the fire truck is on its way. We need to evacuate people from the other rooms too, can you please help us!"

The person who rushed over immediately said.

At this moment, everyone could smell a burning odor, and smoke was also coming out from under the door.

"Chief, what should we do"

"Tong Wanwan's voice trembled slightly as she asked. "

"Keep banging on the door! Get the person out, and evacuate everyone else from this building first."

Wan Liang gritted his teeth and said.

He immediately rushed to the fire extinguisher cabinet in the corridor, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and charged back, slamming it hard against the doorknob.

Tong Wanwan, after seeing this, also followed suit. She picked up another fire extinguisher and, working with Wanliang, smashed it against the doorknob.

By now, people in the two-story townhouse had already left, all standing outside, watching as flames engulfed a room on the second floor, slowly spreading outwards.

The second floor is empty now, thick black smoke is filling the entire hallway, only the three investigators are left smashing doors.

With a crash, the lock finally gave way. Wan Liang reached up and pried off the broken lock, reaching in to open the door. Then the three of them rushed into the room, covering their mouths and noses.

Three walls of the room were engulfed by flames, and all they could see was one person trapped under a table. The other person had already been consumed by the fire, only their upper body remained, wearing a white patient gown. It seemed like this person had been confined here in the cloud of smoke.

"Hurry! Save Ripples first!"

Man Liang covered his mouth and nose, rushed up, kicked the table open with one foot, and dragged out Ripples who had already fallen into a coma.

"Chief, what about the cloud cover!"

Tong Wanwan crouched as low as she could, covering her mouth and nose with one hand while trying to pull the unresponsive Yun Yi. Sadly, just at that moment, a fluorescent light fixture from the ceiling crashed down right in front of her, cutting her hand and separating her from Yun Yi.

"Ouch!"

Tong Wanwan cried out in pain, and then coughed violently, obviously having been choked by the smoke.

You're going to die, leave now!

Wan Liang roared, directly strapping on Lian Yi and grabbing Tong Wanwan's hand. Under the cover of their companion who was clearing a path with a fire extinguisher, they rushed out of the room and ran away from the building.

"Over here! Over here!"

The nursing home had a doctor. At this time, someone carried a stretcher over, and Wan Liang placed the unconscious Ripples on the stretcher, then said to the other person Tong Wanwan:

"You stay with Ripple and bandage your own wounds as well. I'll see if I can salvage the equipment."

"Section chief, don't be stubborn, the fire has already spread to our room."

Tong Wanwan pointed at the place where the fire was burning the hottest and said.

I'll go take a look.

Wan Liang refused to give up. He eventually took a damp handkerchief from someone else and covered his mouth and nose, before charging back into the building.

Tong Wanwan was on the phone while following the stretcher to the medical room of the nursing home.

Shortly after she left, the fire trucks arrived. Half an hour later, the fire was extinguished, but because there was a charred body at the scene, the police eventually launched an investigation.

In the end, Wan Liang managed to salvage nothing. His face darkened as he went to the medical room of the nursing home. As the only survivor of the fire's origin point, Lian Yi clearly became the focal point of everyone's attention.

Seeing the four people guarding the infirmary door, Wan Liang walked over and whispered:

"When something happens, shouldn't you be guarding the door Why when I got there, were all four of you gone"

"The lion helped evacuate people, and the two of us found someone who looked like they started the fire, so we chased after them."

Gong Fan explained in a low voice.up like this, he wasn't surprised."I'm a fair person, everyone is trying to make a living. Buying and selling information fairly, but if you want to cheat me with fake information, that won't work!"Th...
