Luohe Village, night falls......

Xiangbei, who was making an unannounced visit to the village, received a WeChat message from Luo Fangyi: One of the lightly injured people has gone home to recuperate.

Xiang Bei, like a soldier in combat readiness, hit a spirit. At this time, he had just settled the water and bread he had bought in the morning. He took this message and asked Luo Rufeng. For the report to progress at this time, it is necessary to find the villager and get the details of the arson from him.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask you. Luo Rufeng took out his mobile phone to make a call.

From the tone of the phone, Xiang Bei could feel Luo Rufeng's cautiousness and resignation. This is asking, obviously asking for instructions. It seems that the other party has some background.

"I heard it, it's Anhai, Luo Anhai. Count the first two rows of houses from my house. Luo Rufeng carefully explained the route.

"Okay, then I'll take a look. ”

"It's dark, it's not easy to walk at night, pay attention to safety. ”

Say goodbye and go out, go north according to the description, and quickly find the location of Luo Anhai's house. He was about to take a few steps forward and knock on the door when he stopped. No! Someone looks like it!

Looking to the north, there were indeed two people sitting under the porch of Luo Anhai's house. The two sat on a low stool, one with a mobile phone and the other with a cigarette. At night, the screen of a smartphone and a lit cigarette stand out.

Thankfully, they didn't find out. No matter who the other person is, you can't enter through the main entrance.

Looking north, take a closer look at the surrounding terrain: the courtyard wall of Luo Anhai's house is not high, and it should be possible to climb over it by bouncing. He propped his hands on the top edge of the wall, relying on the support of his arms and the bounce of his feet, and jumped over the wall.

"Haha, that's a piece of cake. "Stealing joy to the north.

"Squeaky ......" Xiangbei's feet just hit the ground, and the courtyard door suddenly opened, and the two people at the door rushed in at the same time.

Six eyes look at each other......

The whole courtyard was awkwardly quiet......

The incident happened suddenly, and Xiang Bei didn't know how to speak, and the other party was the same.

At this moment, the door to the living room opened, and a boy of seven or eight years old walked out of the room. "What are you doing?"

Children's voices are the simplest sounds in the world, unlike adults, the same sentence, how to understand it varies from person to person. For Xiang Bei, this voice is not only simple, but also timely. "Hello, little friend, is this Luo Anhai's family?"

"You...... Looking for my grandfather?"

"Who are you?" the two standing in the doorway were no longer silent.

"I'm a reporter from the Bac Giang Evening News...... What about you?"

"We are from the Luohe Village Project Command and are responsible for Luo Anhai's safety. One of the men replied, his tone noticeably softer, "uh...... Let's go inside and talk about it......"

Under the guidance of the little boy, the three came to the bedroom where Luo Anhai was resting. At this time, Luo Anhai was lying on the bed, although he was wearing a coat, the burns on his forehead and neck were still very obvious, and his left eyebrow was even burned off.

"Hello, fellow, I am a reporter from Beijiang Evening News, and I want to ask you about the situation. Xiang Bei directly pointed out his identity, completely ignoring the two people behind him.

"There were seven of us living in a tent at the time, and I was closest to the entrance, so I rushed out when I saw the fire. None of them had time to run outside. Although a day has passed since the incident, Luo Anhai still looks frightened, and his voice trembles.

"Have you seen who lit the fire and with what fire?"

"The fire burned so fast, and in just a few minutes, the whole shed was on fire, and it was too late to get up again when I saw it. You said to use a lighter to light it, the solar panels are burning, I don't think it looks like it, otherwise it won't burn so badly......" Luo Anhai was a little incoherent, and when he was about to say something, he glanced at the two people behind Xiang Bei, and paused again.

"Teacher Luo, you have just been discharged from the hospital, and you are quite tired, so you should have a good rest. One of them behind Xiang Bei interjected.

Xiang Bei understood that these two people had something to say, and they were not just responsible for Luo Anhai's safety. Luo Anhai is the only person who was discharged from the hospital and witnessed the arson, and if it is found by the media or others, it is likely that other information will be revealed.

Based on the experience of these years, Xiangbei is also clear about one thing: whether it is the parties or the officials, their information cannot be disbelieved, but it cannot be fully believed. On the one hand, in many cases, the information that the parties know is not necessarily true and objective, and even if they know the inside story, they often tell it from the perspective of their own benefit, and if the information is misinterpreted, it will cause adverse effects; As a result, information asymmetry has emerged, which is also criticized by public opinion.

In this kind of reporting, the journalist's sense of responsibility and professionalism are particularly important.

Xiangbei didn't ask, but sat next to Luo Anhai, dragging the other party's left hand with one hand, and lying on the back of the other hand, as if shaking hands, "Teacher Luo, yesterday's experience was really thrilling, I won't bother you too much, you have a good rest, and I'll ask you about the specific situation when I have time." ”

Xiangbei gently patted him with his hand.

Luo Anhai looked at Xiangbei and nodded.

Xiang Bei got up, "I'm also causing you trouble today, it's not too early, and I'm going back to deal with the manuscript as soon as possible." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all about work, mutual understanding, mutual understanding. The two were very polite.

Walk out of Luo Anhai's house to the north. The night was completely overcast. At night in the countryside, there are only a few street lamps dotted with stars, and the lights are sprinkled on the bluestone pavement, which is still gray.

To the north to find their car, with the mobile phone software to search for a nearby hotel, the nearest is the new city hotel, it looks good, the price is not expensive. Stayed here tonight.

On the way to the hotel, Xiang Bei went through today's interview materials in his mind: the information provided by the villagers, the press release given by Qu Changguo, and the situation at the scene of the arson case...... All of this should add up to enough to hold up today's manuscript.

When I arrived at the hotel, it was dinner time, and Xiangbei was not in the mood to think about what to eat, so he just ordered a takeout. Tonight, he was waiting for an important call, but he wasn't sure if the other party would call.

The person who had to wait to the north was Luo Anhai......

In fact, when Xiang Bei saw Luo Anhai talking and stopping, he knew that there was no information in the interview, so he quietly stuffed his business card into the other party's hand when saying goodbye. Luo Anhai had already felt it at that time, but he didn't say anything. Based on this alone, Xiangbei felt that the other party might contact him.

After checking in, Xiangbei took out his laptop and sorted out the day's interview materials, and after an hour, all the materials had been sorted out and were waiting for him.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Hello, to reporters, I'm Luo Anhai......"
