After the police intervened in the investigation, they found that before the fire broke out, a nearby temple was holding a detour. The man surnamed Chen (29 years old) was a believer in the temple. "Colorful Smoke and Bee Firecrackers" welcomes the gods, but before the firecrackers are finished, the parade team is about to arrive. He is worried that the firecrackers will block the way of the gods, so he kicks the unburned firecrackers to the side of the road.
