Apparently someone pulled out the gas barrel and intentionally let the gas out. Chen Nan’s corpse was next to the gas barrel on the third floor. On the third floor staircase a lighter was found that was almost melted.

The 3 basements of numbers 9, 11 and 13 were originally separated by a gas explosion and became a single building.
