Lin Dong shook his head, "Old Li, you don't know, the fire at the Lin Family's courtyard wasn't sudden. It was the kids, having nothing better to do, playing with open flames in the abandoned kitchen. And there were still leftover unspent liquefied gas cylinders in there."
Old Li was stunned for a moment, "This I can't quite remember."
Yan Junze said, "Does that mean during the fire, that kid from house number 39 wasn't in the Lin Family's courtyard? Or had the child drowned before that?"
"That I don't know." Lin Dong shook his head, "In any case, it was only after the fire that the boy's body was found in the reservoir, said to have been in the water for days. The exact time, I'm not too sure."
"What was the name of the drowned child?" Yan Junze asked.
"Zhu Zhanglong, we all called him... Long," Lin Dong replied.
