Qiu Lu and the others didn't know what happened to Yuan Shuo until a month later.

In early August, a major accident occurred on the fringes of this unassuming coastal town, occupying the pages of local news channels for three full days.

No one knows exactly how the fire happened. It lasted for a whole day and was not extinguished until the evening. It even affected the nearby snack street. In total, three people were seriously injured and more than ten people were lightly injured.

It was noon when Qiulu heard the news, and he was still working outside. He didn't even have time to ask for leave from the foreman, so he took a taxi and went back. But when he got there, he couldn't even get in the gate, and he was put on guard inside and out. There were policemen shouting with loudspeakers, and nearby restaurant owners and residents were driven to gather far away on the street, and the sound of fire engines kept beeping.

a mess.

Qiulu pushed through the crowd and searched for a while. When he saw Sister Zhao who was selling Mala Tang and her husband in a white vest, he hurried up and asked, "Sister Zhao, what's going on?"

Sister Zhao is in her 50s, and she has some heart problems. She was probably frightened, and she couldn't speak clearly: "No, I don't know, I, I, I just saw black smoke rising from your restaurant..."

On a hot day, Qiulu was sweating coldly on his forehead, and asked, "Where are the people in the restaurant? Have you seen it? Is there anything wrong?!"

Sister Zhao stammered more and more: "An ambulance came..."

Qiulu's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted. He managed to gather his composure, and ran to the side to ask the firefighters how the accident was going.

The visitor saw that he was a half-grown boy with a youthful air and an unreliable appearance. He didn't want to talk to him, so he said a few vague words, told him the address of the hospital, and asked him to go there by himself. while watching.

Qiu Lu was very anxious. He didn't know what he could do by staying here, he couldn't get in, and he was worried that the person pulled away by the ambulance would be alive or dead. Looking at the flames soaring into the sky under the scorching sun, he felt that his eyes were going to be burned.

After the fire was extinguished, the fire department began investigating the cause of the fire.

However, fire scene inspection is a very difficult task. It takes a huge amount of work to spread the termination line, smoke traces, and on-site traces, and then determine the fire point. A lot of manpower and material resources are needed to do this, and it is almost perfunctory.

But in the canteen where the fire was the most severe in Yuan's Gymnasium, three uncles and aunts were still being rescued in the hospital. Even if it was a lie, there had to be an explanation, so half a day later, the fire department sent someone to invite Qiulu to come over.

Yuan Shuo was not there, Liang Bo was injured in an accident, and he was still in danger in the hospital. He couldn't find anyone who could talk from top to bottom.

When he arrived at the place, he was invited to sit down. Just as the tea was brewed, Ao Zhiming was also brought over. His eyes were still bloodshot, he was suppressing heavy panting, and his mood seemed very unstable.

Qiu Lu tugged at his sleeve, motioning him to sit down first.

Soon, several men in suits came over and chatted with each other in a low voice. After a while, one of them sat down at the desk opposite Qiulu, opened a notebook for recording, and opened his mouth in a decent manner. : "Mr. Qiu, right? That's how it is. We investigated the cause of the fire, and I want to ask you a few questions."

Qiulu squeezed her sleeves tightly, looked him straight in the eyes, and said calmly, "Say it."

"First of all," the man glanced at the record book, raised his head, and said, "This fire accident is very serious. So far, a total of 16 people have been injured, and three of them were severely burned. The total economic loss, including the surrounding stores. More than 300 million yuan, these—do you know all about it?”

"No." Qiu Lu said stiffly.

He was busy all afternoon looking for someone to ask about the hospital ward, and trying to find a way to call Yuan Shuo, but he couldn't take care of the others.Now, upon first hearing it, the whole person felt as if he had fallen into a cellar of ice, and his whole body felt stiff and cold——who were the sixteen injured?

The man closed the notebook and continued: "It's okay, the detailed list is here, and I will make a copy later, so that you can understand the follow-up compensation process."

"What compensation?" Qiulu began to feel something was wrong.

"There are a lot of residents in that block, and many of them suffered property losses because of this accident. Do you think your gymnasium shouldn't make compensation for this?"

Qiulu was completely dumbfounded: "What—"

Before the words fell, Ao Zhiming became mad with anger, and roared: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Aren't we the victims? We have suffered the most serious losses, why should we pay compensation? These should not be your responsibility?"

The man hurriedly said: "Here, Mr. Ao? Please calm down!"

Of course Ao Zhiming couldn't calm down at all. He just came back from out-of-town purchases with his boss. He stayed up all night and was just catching up on sleep when he was called up by the phone. As soon as he got out of the car, he was told that Qiulu had been taken away and asked him to go too.

Another man who had been sitting on the sofa spoke, he whispered something to the person standing on the right, then gestured to the man on the desk, and then said slowly: "Xiao Chen, let me talk about it." .”

The man called Xiao Chen fell silent, and obediently let him talk.

This is a thin middle-aged man, dressed like a dog, but when he speaks, he has a greasy temperament that even a high-end suit can't hide.

The man stood up, walked to Qiu Lu and Ao Zhiming first, looked at each of them condescendingly, his eyes fell on Qiu Lu's face and paused for a while, and then said: "Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Peng, Peng Ze. Mr. Wei Qiu should have heard of me, I am the general manager of Shifang Group C City Branch."

One mouthful is a greasy tone that fits the image very well.

After finishing speaking, he handed over a business card, but Qiu Lu didn't take it, just looking at the words on it, his pupils dilated slightly.

Peng Ze didn't stretch out his hand for a few seconds, seeing that he didn't answer, he put the paper on the table, sat back on the sofa, clasped his hands, and continued: "The cause of the fire has been found out, and it is mainly related to your gymnasium. It is related to the hidden dangers of fire safety, I heard that this was originally an abandoned kindergarten—"

"Fart!" Ao Zhiming blushed and roared with a thick neck, "Why is it the reason for our gymnasium? We have been in the gymnasium for more than ten years, and nothing has happened!"

Peng Ze sneered, and said disdainfully, "So once something happens, it's so serious, isn't it?"

"You!" Ao Zhiming was going crazy, he felt this person was talking nonsense, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"In short," Peng Ze said slowly, "you, the person in charge of the gymnasium, raised so many children in a place with major safety hazards, and then something happened, and your own people were not around, so irresponsible."

Qiu Lu stared into his eyes, and said coldly: "Uncle Yuan has been one of the top ten figures in City C for several years in a row. He opened this gym as a charity act. Be careful what you say."

Peng Ze glanced at him and said, "Oh, does your Yuan Clan Gymnasium have a permit?"

"Varied……"

"Without even a certificate, how can we prove that Yuan Shuo is engaged in charity or child trafficking? Forget it, let's not discuss this issue for now. In short, there is no doubt that the mastermind should be held accountable for such negligence in fire protection measures. "

Qiu Lu said anxiously: "But I think the fire should be man-made, someone deliberately—"

Peng Ze smiled, with undisguised malice in his eyes: "Where's the evidence?"

Of course there is no evidence, because the fire extinguishing process is a process of destroying evidence.

Qiu Lu was speechless. If he just said that the arson was artificial was just a guess in his own mind, seeing the playful smile in Peng Ze's eyes, the guess became more certain.

Ao Zhiming stood up from the chair, instantly overturned the tea cup on the table, and rushed towards Peng Ze with red eyes: "Fuck you!"

His skills were trained under Yuan Shuo's guidance, and he was very fast. He punched Peng Ze hard in the stomach almost instantly, and made a loud noise. The person in charge of the fire department standing next to him was stunned. .

Peng Ze groaned when he beat him, and soon, two strong men came out from the left and right, pulled Ao Zhiming away roughly, and threw him to the ground. wrestle together.

There was a lot of noise in the house, teacups and ashtrays were broken all over the floor, several people from the fire station ran around the room, and some people took the opportunity to slip out and call the police.

Those two bodyguards were obviously not vegetarians. They fought against each other, and Ao Zhiming was quickly at a disadvantage. One of the strong men held him down, and the other was about to hit him with his fist. Qiu Lu stepped up and grabbed his arm. Kicking in the opposite direction, the screams instantly resounded throughout the room.

After being punched, Peng Ze slumped on the sofa clutching his stomach for a while before sitting up, spit out, and cursed with dark eyes: "Fuck, your grandpa's bastard, if you don't listen to me, do you speak well?" Let me beat him to death!!"

In the midst of chaos, Qiu Lu picked up a chair and threw it at Peng Ze. He had long since disliked this bumbling man, and cursed: "You fucking shut up!"

Peng Ze sideways dodged the chair flying towards him, saw the chair smashed into pieces on the wall behind him, and looked back at Qiu Lu as if looking at a monster, "Okay, okay! Both You little bastard, looking for trouble, right?"

He suddenly thought of something, laughed, and said, "I'm afraid you don't know about something, and you still have the energy to fight here. Let me tell you, the man named Yuan in your gymnasium had an accident when he went up the mountain! Otherwise, you would think that I Why did I ask you to come here..."

There was a bang in his head, and Qiu Lu felt that the whole sky was about to collapse.
