Chapter 345 - 124: The Culprit Has Been Found, But We Are Helpless
Quan Shaoqing immediately called Jing Yuan. Apparently, he had also seen the news and, without taking a moment to rest, was preparing to drive to the scene.
"Let’s go together! My car is right outside the door!" Quan Shaoqing held his phone, talking to Jing Yuan.
Through the car window, Gu Xiaoxi could already see that Jing Yuan’s car had left the gate.
Quan Shaoqing’s car immediately pulled up close, and Jing Yuan rolled down the window to see the two of them. With their faces set in somber lines, they exchanged no words but rushed towards the accident scene with an unspoken understanding.
An hour later, they successfully entered the scene.
Quan Shaoqing and Gu Xiaoxi got out of the car, and a chill ran through them as they smelled the lingering scent of char in the air and saw the ash that covered the streets. This didn’t seem like an ordinary fire, which would leave behind building outlines after burning. Instead, whether it be the trees and flowers or the brick and mortar, everything had been reduced to ash. When the wind blew, it shrouded the entire street in a misty haze.
Gu Xiaoxi’s heart instantly plummeted to the bottom of a valley.

Quan Shaoqing squeezed Gu Xiaoxi’s hand tightly and shook his head, "It’s very strange, this is not an ordinary fire. Even if fuel had been used, it would not have burnt everything so cleanly!"
