Chapter 249 Burning With Rage? (1)
“Ah!”
A miserable scream resounded through the air above the crematorium.
The burly man, who was covered in flames, slapped the flames on his body with both hands and retreated continuously.
As soon as he did, the others who had yet to come back to their senses immediately screamed and scrambled away in fear.
Without needing Su Jingxing to urge them, all of them wished they had three legs to quickly distance themselves from the burly man.
“Ah!!”
The burly man screamed as he tried to put out the fire, yet he couldn’t no matter how he tried.
Not only did the flames that suddenly appeared fail to be extinguished, they became more and more intense.
In less than ten seconds, the burly man stopped screaming and fell to the ground, motionless.
The blazing flames continued to burn until the burly man’s entire body, including his clothes turned into a pile of ashes before slowly disappearing The crowd was also silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Self-combustion!
The burly man actually self-combusted without any warning. In less than ten seconds, he was reduced to ashes. Fear!
At this moment, invisible fear occupied the hearts of everyone present except Su Jingxing.
Shock and fear also surfaced on Wu Shouhan’s face as he opened his eyes wide.
“What… what’s going on? Why… why did he self-combust all of a sudden?” Old Wu murmured dreamily, his voice unknowingly turning hoarse.
But no one responded.
The others didn’t know that the chill in Su Jingxing’s heart had also yet to dissipate.
The moment before the burly man self-combusted, Su Jingxing had caught a scorching aura.
This aura was extremely sudden, strange, and mysterious, making one feel inexplicably fearful.
When the burly man was covered in blazing flames, Su Jingxing even sensed a terrifying sense of danger envelop himself.
In this danger, Su Jingxing’s body tensed up and his back felt cold. He almost manifested his Martial Art True Intent.
Something is wrong!
The effects of the scorching aura that burst out from the burly man’s body is not as simple as self-combustion.
What exactly is it?
Why can it make a person burn himself?
And what does it rely on to burn a body into ashes?
Su Jingxing quickly calmed down and regained his composure. His mind was racing.
Suddenly, he turned to look at the two team members.
“The corpse you transported earlier also suddenly self-combusted and turned into ashes like this?”
asked Su Jingxing softly. “Yes… yes!”
The plump team member trembled as he answered, “There… there were no signs. Ju… Just like that person just now, it suddenly started burning!” “Right… right.” He thought of something and added, “After the corpse self-combusted, we immediately contacted the Martial Suppression Office. They should be here soon.”
Su Jingxing kept quiet.
Let’s put the Martial Suppression Office aside for now.
The corpse burned itself, so did the living person.
What is the connection between the two?
Su Jingxing pondered for a moment and asked, “Have you guys read the information on the cause of death of that corpse?”
“I… I have.” The big-headed team member rushed to answer. “The cause of death was a sudden heart attack. She passed away because she wasn’t treated in time.”
“It’s not because of a heart attack,” muttered a small voice.
No one else heard it, but Su Jingxing did!
Immediately, with a tap of his toes, he flew towards the person who spoke and held him down.
“What are you doing?!”
The young man who was grabbed was one of the companions of the burly man who had self-destructed.
His eyes darted around, and he stepped back, panic on his face. “Let me go, let me go!” “Tell me the real cause of death of this person’s mother, and I’ll release you,” said Su Jingxing in a deep voice, pointing at the burly man who had turned into ashes.
“Why… why should I tell you?!”
The young man struggled and shouted, “You’re not from the Public Security Team, let alone the Martial Suppression Office. What can you do to me if I don’t say anything?”
“What about me?”
A deep voice sounded.
From the Martial Suppression Office’s Western District Branch, the Commissioner of Command Qi Zhaochen led a group of people into the crematorium and walked towards Su Jingxing
“Brother-in-law, you came at the right time. This fellow is too arrogant. He’s just a mere security guard at the crematorium and he wants to capture and interrogate another person. Hurry up and arrest him. Arrest him and bring him back to teach him a good lesson!”
The young man waved at Qi Zhaochen, his face full of joy. Brother-in-law?
This fellow’s brother-in-law is Qi Zhaochen?
Su Jingxing was shocked.
He seemed to remember that Qi Zhaochen was not married. How could… “Shut up!”
Beside Qi Zhaochen, a square-faced man happened to wear a dark expression on his face. He cursed awkwardly, “What nonsense are you spouting, you b*stard? Who do you think I am? You think I can arrest people just because I want to?”
“I…”
“I told you to shut up. Why are you going on!” The square-faced man did not give the young man a chance to refute and scolded him again.
At the same time, he glared fiercely at the young man, signaling hard with his eyes.
At this moment, the young man finally reacted. He quickly glanced at Qi Zhaochen, whose expression was extremely cold. He shrank his neck and lowered his head, not daring to utter another word.
“It’s fine. Let him speak.”
Qi Zhaochen began calmly, “Sorry to trouble you, Captain Little Su.”
He nodded at Su Jingxing, who released the young man.
“Old Wu, I already know what happened.”
Qi Zhaochen then looked at Wu Shouhan and said, “We will get to the bottom of this matter and find out what happened.”
“Now, it’s not just one matter, but two.” Wu Shouhan, who had been thrown into a daze by the young man, finally came back to his senses. After hearing Qi Zhaochen’s words, he sighed softly. Qi Zhaochen frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Another one self-combusted five minutes ago.”
Su Jingxing pointed at the ashes of the burly man and said in a deep voice, “There. He was still arguing with us just now, but he suddenly self-combusted. This person’s mother is the deceased from before, the one whose corpse also self-combusted.”
