Jian Yue frowned, very annoyed, "Take me to see it."

When we arrived at the store, we saw a man being pinned to the ground by several shop assistants, with some simple arson tools beside him.

Jian Yue looked at the scene in front of her, her expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

She realized that this was definitely not a simple accident, but someone was clearly targeting her small appliance business.

These store clerks and managers are all retired military personnel and are loyal to her.

The store has always been run in an orderly manner, so how could something like this suddenly happen?

There are only one or two possibilities.

It was either Jiang Zeyuan's rival or his opponent who did it.

She took a deep breath and said to the people around her: "Don't panic, wait for the police to come and handle it. This matter is not that simple, someone must have done it on purpose. We must cooperate with the police and find out who is behind this."

After a while, the police arrived and took over the scene.

At the police station, Jiang Zeyuan had just arrived at his post when he received a report of this urgent case.

The elite police officers in the bureau were quickly assembled to form a special task force.

"This incident is of a serious nature. We must find out the truth as soon as possible to protect the lives and property of citizens."

There are actually people who want to take over my wife's business. I am so tired of living like this!

He personally led the team to the fire scene. The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and the thick smoke had not yet completely dissipated.

The burned shop was in a mess, with charred remains of electrical appliances scattered all over the floor, and the walls blackened by smoke and still emitting smoke.

Firefighters are doing a final check to ensure there is no danger of re-ignition.

Jiang Zeyuan frowned and carefully observed every detail of the scene.

He squatted down, picked up a piece of burnt wood, looked at the marks on it, and thought about the starting point and cause of the fire.

The police officers on the side were questioning witnesses in the surrounding area and recording every possible useful clue.

"Chief, we found some suspicious footprints and tools left at the scene. Our preliminary assessment is that they were left by the arsonist." A police officer reported to Jiang Zeyuan.

"Send it for inspection immediately to see if we can find any clues." Jiang Zeyuan stood up, dusted himself off, and walked towards the store where the murderer was caught.

Inside the store, the suspect was being held by police.

Jiang Zeyuan walked in, stared at the suspect with hawk-like eyes, and asked coldly: "Why did you do this?"

The suspect tried to argue: "I... I didn't do anything. I was wrongly accused."

Jiang Zeyuan sneered: "You didn't do anything? Then what's the matter with this evidence?"

Pointing to the gasoline barrel and ignition tools on the table next to him.

The suspect's face turned pale, but he still insisted: "I don't know, I was framed."

Jiang Zeyuan did not bother with him anymore. He turned to the police officers and said, "Take him back to the police station and interrogate him. I want to know if there is anyone behind him."

After returning to the police station, a case analysis meeting was immediately held.

The technicians reported the preliminary inspection results of the on-site evidence at the meeting.

"The liquid found at the scene was gasoline and the ignition device was a simple but dangerous homemade tool."

Jiang Zeyuan listened to the report and thought while saying, "This case may involve multiple suspects. We need to start from all aspects. On the one hand, we will continue to interrogate the suspects we have already arrested to see if we can get any useful information from them. On the other hand, we will investigate the relationship between these stores to see if there are any common conflicts of interest or enemies. Also, we will strengthen patrols in the surrounding areas to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The police officers nodded and left after receiving the order.

Jiang Zeyuan sat in the office and rubbed his temples.

I picked up the phone and called my wife.

"Yueyue, are you and the children okay? You have to be careful recently. This case is a bit complicated."

Jian Yue replied on the other end of the phone: "We are fine, you should also pay attention to your safety. You must bring these bad guys to justice."

"Yes, I will." Jiang Zeyuan hung up the phone and plunged back into the tense investigation of the case.

Under the leadership of Jiang Zeyuan, the police conducted in-depth investigations for several consecutive days, and the clues gradually pointed in an unexpected direction.

He turned out to be the behind-the-scenes boss of the electrical appliance store chain that had been imitating Huimin Electrical Appliances in the market but had never been able to surpass it.

After the news spread within the police station, everyone felt surprised but also felt it was reasonable.

Jiang Zeyuan led a team of police officers and quickly arrived at the headquarters of the electrical appliance store chain.

This is a slightly old building located in a bustling area of ​​the city.

When the police rushed into the building, the employees inside were thrown into panic.

Jiang Zeyuan walked straight towards the boss's office, with dignity in every step.

The office door was pushed open, and the boss behind the scenes was sitting behind a luxurious desk. The calmness on his face disappeared the moment he saw the police, replaced by fear and panic.

"You... what do you mean?"

"You know very well why we are here. You are suspected of instructing others to commit arson against Huimin Electrical Appliance Store. Now come with us." Jiang Zeyuan stared at him sharply without any hesitation.

The boss tried to argue: "What evidence do you have? Stop slandering me!"

Jiang Zeyuan sneered, took out a document and threw it on the table.

"This is the evidence we have collected from various channels, including the transaction records and communication content between you and the arsonists. Do you think you can escape legal sanctions?"

Faced with the irrefutable evidence, the boss slumped in his chair like a deflated ball.

The police took him away quickly and the whole process was clean and efficient.

When the news spread, the entire city's business community was shocked.

Although Huimin Electrical Appliance Store escaped a catastrophic disaster, the incident also had a significant impact on its reputation and operations.

The store had to temporarily close for restructuring.

Other colleagues had their own thoughts during this storm. Some were secretly glad, while others were worried that similar vicious competition would affect themselves.

Magazines and newspapers reported on it.

Meanwhile, in the police station, the interrogation of the boss behind the scenes was going on intensely.

At first, he tried to conceal more information, but in the face of the police's powerful psychological offensive and evidence, he gradually confessed his criminal motives.

"I was unwilling to accept this. We have been imitating their business model, but we just can't do better than them. I thought that if we could bring them down, we could monopolize the market."

He lowered his head, his face full of regret.

"Your idea was wrong from the beginning. Business success depends on innovation, integrity and legal operations, not such despicable means. You not only ruined others, but also yourself."
