Wei Zhenguo repeatedly questioned for over half an hour, untangling the timeline and chain of evidence for the arson case at the waste collection station, before he paused to take a sip of water.
The case was still considered minor and had occurred in Xihong District, which was also Lü Xin's hometown.
Wen Township was where his maternal grandparents lived. He also knew the principle that "rabbits don't eat the grass around their burrows," so when he got the itch, he'd go to the towns and villages down the river from Wen Township to play with fire. After setting a big fire, he finally took to his heels and fled.
In Xihong District, Lü Xin was mostly well-behaved most of the time. It was only recently that he couldn't resist any longer and set fire to a waste collection station, involving financial losses that may only amount to a thousand yuan.
