The scene of a fire at the department store in Dingno City.

Looking at the gray and smoking building, at the figures inside and outside the building, at the crowd around them, and at the depressed merchants, Chu Tianqi's eyes fell on Yue Jixian's face beside him: "You go and get busy, you don't have to stay with me." ”

Yue Jixian shook his head: "No, I'm here, and I'll follow the mayor until you leave the scene." ”

"You. Chu Tianqi shook his head helplessly.

Yue Jixian was also amused by the other party's expression, but he had no intention of leaving.

A team of firefighters walked out of the department store, followed by the armed police officer. When he entered the building just now, this armed police officer rushed to the front.

Signaling the other firefighters to the side to rest, the armed police officer quickly walked to Chu Tianqi and reported directly: "Mayor Chu, just now I took two teams of firefighters to search separately from each floor according to the group, and after four searches by different groups from bottom to top and top to bottom, all floors have gone through four searches by different groups. We searched the department store, but we couldn't find Fan Yuhu, and there were no other people or bodies. Judging from the search situation just now, there were no casualties in the fire. ”

Although he had basically decided that this was the case just now, he was not completely down-to-earth in his heart, and now when he heard the other party talk about the search results, Chu Tianqi was completely relieved.

It was precisely because he did not confirm whether there were any casualties that Chu Tianqi just now thought about putting on his equipment and going in to see it in person, but he was resolutely opposed by Liu Fuli and others. Yue Jixian even entered the cordon from the group, looking at Chu Tianqi inch by inch.

The armed police officer continued to report: "After we entered the building, the first priority was to search for people in the building and see what potential safety hazards existed. In addition to the fact that there are no casualties, there are not many potential safety hazards, although the whole building has been overfired, but the building has no floor slab fractures, wall cracks and other situations. Of course, this still needs to be tested by the professional department, and the site is also scorched black, and it is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be seen, but the floor slab and load-bearing wall must not collapse or break at the moment.

Cosmetics are flammable and explosive dangerous substances in case of fire, and they are all placed on the first floor, and the periphery of the first layer is finally overfired, which does not cause secondary disasters. Just now, we have put this area on guard and set it out of the quarantine area. In addition, we found that there were several wires exposed and damaged, and they happened to be in a state of power outage just now.

The glass throughout the building was badly damaged, with the exception of a few intact blocks on the first floor, where almost all the window glass was broken. Fortunately, most of the bad glass has not completely fallen off, which is the main reason why there is no large-scale fire in the building. But after all, there is a lot of smoke, and there are many fires near the window, and the whole building is dark. Coupled with the fact that a large amount of water and mud flowed into the building, the whole building was dilapidated, wet everywhere, and there was water on the ground.

After such a fumigation and pouring, all the goods were badly damaged. The clothes upstairs, both large and small, were all black and gray, and it was basically impossible to distinguish the main color, and they were also full of ashes, water, and mud. The same is true for cosmetics on the first floor, although there is no danger, it has obviously been affected by water and fire, many of the packaging has been deformed, and the contents of the bottle are slightly swollen or inflated. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time, and the fire on the first floor was too late, otherwise there would be an explosion, which would affect the safety of the building inside and outside. ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianqi sighed secretly, both glad that there was no danger, but also a little afraid. If there is a one in Wanli, it will be annoying.

As the armed police officer spoke, he took out the video recorder from his satchel, opened the video file, and asked Mayor Chu to take a look.

The whole picture is gray and foggy, and there are puffs of smoke rising. The picture slowly pushes closer, and some goods appear in the camera at close range, including watches and cosmetics. Since most of these products are placed in the glass counter, there is no change in the picture, and of course it is not very clear. However, being roasted and steamed by high fire will presumably also affect the quality of cosmetics, and it is not known whether the sensitivity of the watch will be affected.

I saw the scene on the first floor, and then the scene on the floor above.

From the picture, it can be seen that the upstairs clothes are not as lucky as watches and cosmetics, and it is impossible to have a glass counter to protect them. Although through the screen, it can be seen that these cloth products have long been stained, and you can also imagine the miserable situation covered with ashes, mud and water. Needless to say, most of these goods must no longer be eligible for sale, and even if they are thoroughly cleaned, it is not known whether they can be sold as old products, and it is certainly impossible to place them in the commercial building.

Although there are dozens of merchants in the whole building, each merchant should have an inventory of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, and even if they find a way to dispose of it, it is unknown whether they can recover one-tenth of the cost. Coupled with the losses during the closure of business, as well as the payment of other expenses, the losses of each family have to be hundreds of thousands, which is really miserable. The vast majority of merchants take out loans or borrow money to do business, so how can this hole be filled? Even if some merchants have insurance, they don't know how much compensation they can recover, and they don't know whether they can provide the corresponding procedures.

The merchants found the video recorder, moved west from the southeast corner outside the cordon, and stretched out their hands outside the cordon to beckon: "Leader, let's see, let's see how the goods are doing." ”

Signaling the armed police officer to put away the video recorder, Chu Tianqi explained to the people: "These materials are for the purpose of investigating the cause of the accident, and it is not suitable for the time being to be made public, please understand." ”

"Why?"

"Those are our things, we can't even look at them?"

"Let's see. ”

"Good leadership. ”

The merchants were gossiping.

Chu Tianqi knew that sometimes it didn't make sense to just explain, so he no longer talked to these people, but walked towards the closer part of the building.

Yue Jixian followed at the right time and reminded softly: "Mayor, don't get too close." ”

"How can it be so evil?" Chu Tianqi continued to walk forward.

"Mayor Chu, Mayor Chu. A call came from the back right.

Chu Tianqi turned his head to look and saw that it was Liu Fuli who led Mayor Qin Huai to arrive, and hurriedly greeted him: "Mayor." ”

Qin Huai didn't greet him, took a few steps forward, and asked directly, "How is it?"

Chu Tianqi said: "I haven't found it yet. However, the armed police officers and soldiers had just searched the entire building, and there was no Fan Yuhu or anyone else in it. After their preliminary investigation, there are no major safety hazards, and individual hidden dangers have been warned or marked, and they have done relevant recording work. ”

At this moment, the armed police officer came close again, turned on the video, and showed it to the mayor.

After watching the video, Qin Huai did not speak immediately, but his expression was very serious, and it was obvious that his mood was not relaxed.

After a while, Qin Huai said slowly: "Fortunately, there are no casualties, this is the greatest luck." Where can that person go?"

"Did you find the number?" Chu Tianqi shouted at the split man. Then he said to the mayor, "This man is the manager of the department store." ”

"No, no, I didn't find my relative's number, and that PHS couldn't get through. The man walked forward quickly, nodding his head.

"As a building manager, what are you doing to eat when such a big thing happens?" Qin Bei directly reprimanded.

"Get out of the way, let me in. A muffled voice rang out.

Chu Tianqi and Qin Huai both shook their faces and looked at the place where the voice came from, and outside the cordon, there was a Humpty Dumpty man yelling at the police.

"This is the scene of the fire, and people are not allowed to approach. The policeman replied coldly.

"I'm not an idler, etc. Humpty Dumpty shook his arm vigorously, "I'm ...... Eh, why are you so gray?"

At this moment, the split man walked briskly towards the Humpty Dumpty man.

"Fan is confused, Fan is confused. The round-faced janitor shouted and waved his hand and ran this way.

The other three ran with the round-faced man.

"Fan confused?" Chu Tianqi, Qin Huai, and Liu Fuli all asked.

Sun Tingwu also strode from the other side.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Humpty Dumpty continued to wave his arms, his body shaking a little.

Sun Tingwu had already arrived closer, and directly stretched out his hand and grabbed the clothes on Humpty Dumpty's shoulder: "Come, you come in." ”

The director made a "gesture" to "invite", and the police hurriedly gave way and flashed aside.

"Eh, eh, you ......" Humpty Dumpty rolled his face and glared at his captor, "Police...... Police, why are you arresting me?"

"What a lot of fuss, come here. As he spoke, Sun Tingwu gently raised his right hand and sniffled, "How much cat urine did you pour into it?"

"Eh, eh, you ......" Humpty Dumpty almost fell, waving his arms and yelling, "Jinli, Jinli, nephew and son-in-law, save my uncle." ”

Hearing Humpty Dumpty's shout, everyone was there, and they all followed Humpty Dumpty's gaze.

At the end of his gaze, the man looked embarrassed and had a hint of panic.

"Who are you?" Chu Tianqi also came closer.

"I'm his uncle, I ......" Humpty Dumpty covered his mouth at this point, "By the way, if you don't let me say it, you can't say it if you kill you."

"No wonder, just like this confused, he can still manage us, and he is a relative of the manager for a long time. ”

"I said, I just let him stay on the third floor, and gave him the key to the building. ”

"Fortunately, this old man is nimble, and he came out of the small window, or we will be burned to death, this dead criminal is confused. ”

The janitors shouted as they walked towards Humpty Dumpty, several of whom even waved their arms.

"Go aside, what's the mess?" Sun Tingwu glared at the others.

I was still indignant just now, but when I saw the eyes of the public security chief, all four of them lost their temper and quietly retreated.

"Huang Jinli, what's the matter? Your relatives are like this?" Liu Fuli also glared at the split man.

The man parted and said: "Also, it's not a close relative, he, he is my daughter-in-law's uncle." ”

"Why aren't you close? I'm an uncle and brother with your father-in-law, and that's not close?" Humpty Dumpty picked up again.
