As soon as he heard this, the firefighter didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately hung up the phone and arranged to go to the police.

After making the call, Li Rui began to think about what the instigator of the fire, the ball of light, was, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't come up with a reason.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the firefighters arrived in a hurry, and the speed was amazing.

At this time, the north side of the small building was burned out, the fire had burned to the south side of the street, the south roof had been burned through, the flame was red with blue, the blue was white, and it was three feet high to the sky, and you could feel the temperature of the flame when you stood on the street.

After leading the team to get out of the car, he ignored Li Rui and Wen Moshi, and while observing the fire, he commanded his subordinates to pick up the water dragon and enter the fire fighting preparations. After he finished arranging, he instructed Li Rui and the others to stand far away, so as not to affect the fire extinguishing.

Li Rui and Wen Moshi honestly dodged and stood under the eaves of the shop diagonally opposite dozens of meters away, watching them put out the fire.

After the firefighters were ready, they used two water cannons to extinguish the fire, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the fire was extinguished.

At this time, the north side of Moxiangyuan has been completely burned and collapsed, and the south side of the street has not been burned much, and it can barely support it, but the entire shop has been unrecognizable and destroyed overnight. The black ashes, the white smoke, and the rain that spilled it, the scene was extremely bleak and unbearable to witness.

The leader of the team was a squadron leader, who found Wen Moshi, the shopkeeper, and asked her what caused the fire.

Wen Moshi couldn't tell clearly, so he recounted the beginning and end of the appearance of the ball of light.

Li Rui remembered that he had taken a photo of the ball of light on his mobile phone, so he took it out to show him. A group of firefighters gathered around to join in the fun.

After reading the photo, the squadron leader pointed out the essence of the ball of light: "That ball of light should be ball lightning." ”

Li Rui repeated suspiciously: "Ball lightning?"

The squadron leader nodded and started to teach the people present: "Ball lightning is commonly known as 'rolling mine', which is a kind of round lightning ball. In fact, it is a bit unscientific to say that it is a lightning ball, because it is not composed of lightning, and some scientists suspect that it is composed of ions, plasma and other substances, but until now no one has been able to give an accurate analysis. Ball lightning is usually produced during summer thunderstorms, when it forms very close to the ground, and there is enough evidence that it is a natural substance that prefers to be close to the human habitation environment. ”

Li Ruiqi said: "Do you like to be close to the human living environment? Is it still conscious?"

The squadron leader shook his head and said, "Of course not, it is unconscious, it is dead." But it does often occur in places where humans live, which may be related to the thermal energy emitted by the human body. Ball lightning appears very rarely in our Qingyang, but once it appears, it will cause big trouble. You guys are lucky this time, although half of the house burned down, but the people are fine, this is a great luck. ”

Li Rui couldn't cry or laugh, Moxiangyuan was about to burn out, this is still called luck, but what he said also makes sense, human life is the most important thing, compared to life, let alone a building, ten thousand taels of gold are meaningless.

The squadron leader asked again, "Didn't you close the windows?"

Li Rui said: "I closed the window, but the ball of light ...... Ball lightning burned a hole in the window and came straight in, scaring us a lot......"

The squadron leader said: "Alas, this can't be helped. Next time, pay attention, when you see this ball lightning, you have to dodge and go, and you must not get close to ......"

After the fire brigade left, Li Rui and Wen Moshi stared at the ruined Moxiangyuan. The rain had stopped, and the eaves were still dripping with droplets. A gust of wind blew, bringing with it the characteristic smoke emitted by the burning of the fire. All the paintings on the first and second floors of the store were burned, and even those that were lucky enough to survive could no longer be used.

Li Rui sighed secretly and asked, "What are your plans?"

Wen Moshi said: "Of course it is rebuilt! This is what my grandfather left behind, how can I watch it burned down?"

Li Rui suddenly understood, as the daughter of Wen Xing, a great painter in the capital, why did she go to Qingyang to live alone, it turned out that her grandfather's house was in Qingyang, and this Moxiangyuan, including the courtyard at the back, was the real estate of her grandfather's family, in other words, this girl can be regarded as half a Qingyang person, thinking about it, I suddenly felt a little closer to her.

"It's not a day's work to rebuild, now you can find a place to stay, and I should go home. ”

Wen Moshi said: "I don't need to find a place to live, I live in the old mansion now." My grandfather owned several houses in Qingyang, and Moxiangyuan was just one of them. ”

Li Rui secretly thought, dare to love her grandfather's family in Qingyang is still a big family, ordinary people, it would be good to have a suite in the city, but he has several sets and a set of stores, and this is obviously not from demolition, it is estimated that it is a landlord and a person like Lao Cai, and said: "Okay, then you can go back and rest, I should also go home, goodbye." With that, he walked to the car.

"Thank you!" Wen Moshi suddenly exclaimed.

Li Rui stopped and turned around and said, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for catching me!"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows and shook his head, didn't say anything, and walked forward, this girl, I really don't know what to say about her, she is already a friend, why are you so polite?

At the same time as Li Rui drove home, in a courtyard in the eastern suburbs of the city with a sign of "Qingyang Youth Cadre Political Training Base", the wind and rain were like obscurity, the flowers and trees were fluttering, and the compound was empty, and there were only a few old buildings built in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and only a few rooms were lit up, and the scene was a little bleak.

This training base is actually one of the two places of the Qingyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and ordinary people passing by the gate of the compound would never have imagined such a function.

In the deepest part of the courtyard, there is a three-story dormitory building, with more than a dozen rooms upstairs and downstairs, except for the two rooms on the second floor, where the windows are still flashing, the other rooms are pitch black. The two rooms were connected inside and outside, and they were originally two separate dormitories, but later for the convenience of the care and interrogation of the members of the Lianggui team, they were directly opened, and the cadres of the Lianggui group lived in the inner room, and the members of the Lianggui team lived outside.

Now, Ji Gang, the secretary of the former mayor Yu Heping and the first secretary of the city government, is sitting on a single bed in the middle room, and a middle-aged man stands opposite him, and the two are talking in a low voice. The door was closed.

“…… Just explain this point, don't say anything else, the two regulations team will release a little water here, and they won't die begging for Bailai to ask for investigation. Secretary Wei also asked me to convey Mayor Yu's words to you, so that you can rest assured that the Commission for Discipline Inspection is ours, and it will not be difficult for you to make a decision. ”

Ji Gang nodded again and again when he heard this, with a bitter smile on his face, and said: "I remember everything, help me reply to Secretary Wei and Mayor Yu, I promise to behave well and not disappoint them." ”

The man said, "Okay, then nothing else, I'll go first." ”

Ji Gang suddenly thought of something, grabbed him and said: "Alas, Director Wang, don't leave yet, I just can't explain this matter, I also gave Li Haitao of the Municipal Public Security Bureau 200,000 yuan, in case the two regulations team investigates the source of my money, what do I say?"

The man said curiously: "You have worked so long, can't you even save 200,000?"

Ji Gang sighed bitterly: "This excuse can be used, but I'm afraid that the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Anti-Corruption Bureau will investigate my account." I have more than one million in my personal account, and my wife has millions in my account, which is ...... Alas, it's hard to explain. ”

The man thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, when I go out, someone will find your wife, and let her find a way to transfer away as soon as possible." As long as the Anti-Corruption Bureau does not investigate you, you can rest assured that the Commission for Discipline Inspection will do so. ”

Ji Gang sighed and said, "That's the only way to go...... I have one more thing, please help me tell the mayor, you must avenge me, I didn't know that Li Rui was Lu Qingman's husband before, and he made a big joke, but he did have a leg with Ouyang Xin, the general manager of Shengjing Hotel, it is true, and it is guaranteed that it cannot be wrong. As long as you find someone to keep an eye on them for a while, you can catch their traitors, I didn't have time to keep an eye on them before, but they definitely have a relationship......"

At half past ten o'clock that night, Yu Heping learned about this situation from a phone call from Wei Hai in the study room of the No. 1 small building of the Standing Committee Building of the Municipal Party Committee's family compound.

He was so angry that he got up from the Taishi chair, put his hands behind him, walked around the study a few times, and when he was angry, he suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Ji Gang had told himself that Li Rui and Ouyang Xin had an ambiguous relationship, he must have found something to say that, so Li Rui and Ouyang Xin really have that kind of relationship?

Yu Heping thought of this, came to the spirit, returned to the Taishi chair and sat down, took a pen to write the names of Li Rui and Ouyang Xin, took a line to connect the two names, and wrote Song Chaoyang's name above Li Rui, looking at the three names and thinking: "If I can catch Li Rui's style problem, then I can learn from him Song Chaoyang's style today, slap him in the face of Song Chaoyang, and then not only can kill his subordinate Li Rui, the number one general, and avenge Ji Gang, but also cut Song Chaoyang's forces. Killing his prestige can be described as killing two birds with one stone, but the question is, how to catch it? Ji Gang said that he would send people to monitor him, but who should he send? Who can keep an eye on them?

He was worried for a while, and suddenly realized that he should find a new secretary first, otherwise many things can't be done, of course, even if a new secretary is found, this kind of thing can't be hastily handed over to him to do, it should be arranged for his own people, thinking of this, he raised his hand to pick up the landline microphone and dialed a number to go out.
