The moment he turned to leave, Qi Tianxiang's eyes involuntarily fell to the location where the remains of the sacrificed soldiers were placed, and several funeral home staff, together with the fire fighters at the scene, were carefully carrying the remains of the sacrificed comrades to the funeral car.

Qi Tianxiang immediately changed his mind, walked forward quickly, walked to a body covered with white cloth, bent down and tried to reach out to lift the end of the stretcher, but then his left arm was in a sharp pain, which made his eyes a little black, and his left hand couldn't exert any strength, but then a hand stretched out behind him, assisted his left arm to exert strength, and with the help of several firefighters and staff, the stretcher was lifted, and slowly walked to the funeral car parked not far away, and carefully put it into the car.

Looking at the funeral car slowly closing the back door and slowly starting to leave, Qi Tianxiang's heart seemed to leave with the funeral car, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze, turned his face sideways and looked deeply at Lu Shanzun beside him, and thanked him for his timely help just now, so that he was not embarrassed in front of the fire fighters.

As the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were transported away from Hebai Square by the vehicles sent by the funeral home, the solemn and sad mourning scene just now no longer existed, and the square became empty, without the white cloth on the ground of the square, and under the cover of the gloomy sky, it was weakly gray, and seemed to have no life, which formed a strong contrast with the hilly-like ruins piled up in front of the Hebai Gate, and the main building that was instantly stripped of the annex. The main building of the annex collapsed, from the first floor to the fourth floor, the building structure was completely exposed, and there was no wrapping of the annex decorated with bright glass curtain walls in the past, like a naked human body that had been stripped of clothes, revealing the original face of reinforced concrete, together with the charred walls and black traces, uglyly displayed in broad daylight.

There are no remains of the sacrificed soldiers in the square, the ruins of the hill-like collapsed annex building, and the ugly and bare frame of the main building seem to have been stripped of the wrapped appearance, revealing its original face, and it is like a shell that has been hollowed out of all its contents, only bones and tendons remain, and there is no sign of life, and the dead silence is displayed in front of you.

Qi Tianxiang retracted his gaze in disgust, as if the ugliness in front of him deeply stimulated his eyes, and his heart seemed to be hollowed out by the departing funeral car, leaving only grief and sadness, as well as deep guilt and self-blame. There is always a thought lingering in my mind, as if I arrived a little earlier, the tragedy could be avoided, as if I didn't listen to Lu Shanzun's report, and directly listened to Wang Tao's complacent boasting, you can stop this ignorance and blindness in time, and it will also make the tragedy not happen again.

Qi Tianxiang looked up at the sky weakly, his heart was empty, his eyes slowly burst into tears, as if he had forgotten what he was about to leave, forgot the meeting that was waiting for him to attend, and just repeatedly thought about everything that had just happened.

When he received a call from Lu Shanzun, Qi Tianxiang had just gotten up and washed up, and was quietly waiting for Yan Li to prepare breakfast, and after eating, he had to rush to the Provincial People's Hall to continue to participate in the annual meeting of the Provincial People's Congress.

Seeing the caller ID number of his mobile phone, it was Lu Shanzun's phone, Qi Tianxiang glanced at the alarm clock hanging on the wall suspiciously, and the hour hand just pointed to a quarter past seven. I don't understand the intention of this old guy to call at this time, and we will meet at the meeting in a while, as a member of the presidium of the Provincial People's Congress, we have met a lot in the past few days, although there are not many opportunities to communicate, but I will not call so early to communicate.

Despite the doubts and incomprehension in his heart, Qi Tianxiang still didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly picked up his mobile phone, and connected Lu Shanzun's phone. Before he had time to greet him, he was tightly captured by Lu Shanzun's hurried words, so that he hung up the phone without saying a few words, hurriedly changed out of his home clothes, put on his clothes for work, and eagerly said to Yan Li, who came out of the kitchen, "Something happened, there was a fire in Hebai Shopping Mall, and I had to rush over immediately when Shanzun called at the scene of the fire." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, took the coat handed by Yan Li, and hurriedly opened the door and went downstairs in Yan Li's concerned 'pay attention to safety', almost trotting out of the community all the way, walking to the side of the road, stopping a taxi, and rushing to the scene of the Hebai fire. It wasn't until he got into the car that he hurriedly called his secretary Xiao Zhang and asked him to inform the driver Xiao Wang and quickly rushed to Hebai Shopping Mall to meet him.

got out of the taxi, walked quickly to the scene of the fire, and met Lu Shanzun, who rushed to greet him, and before he could shake hands and greet him, he asked eagerly: "What is the situation at the scene now, and are there any casualties?" ”

"Despite the investigation, there are no casualties at present, because it is a fire at night, in addition to the security guards on duty at night, there are several professionals who debug the load of the air conditioning motor, and the rest of the personnel are not in the mall, and the fire was found, and the security guards and professionals have all withdrawn." Lu Shanzun understood what Qi Tianxiang wanted to know most at the moment, so he directly introduced the most important casualties, seeing that Qi Tianxiang's nervous and somewhat pale face eased, and then eased his tone and said: "The fire brigade got the alarm two hours ago, and quickly mobilized three fire trucks to rush over, and the fire fighters of the three squadrons were put into the firefighting work, and the armed police force also urgently dispatched two squadrons to assist the fire fighters in fighting the fire. The special police detachment of the Public Security Bureau and the Dongcheng Branch, as well as the police station in the jurisdiction, all dispatched police forces in a timely manner to carry out perimeter vigilance and maintain order. After all-out extinguishing, the fire has been initially brought under control. ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun with satisfaction, very satisfied with the on-site disposal situation he introduced, and asked with concern while walking in front of the fire Hebaimen: "What caused this fire, how could it catch fire in the dead of night?" ”

"According to the analysis of the situation back from the preliminary feedback of the security guard, the fire was ignited at about three o'clock in the morning, and the initial ignition point was the distribution box on the right side of the first floor. Lu Shanzun walked hurriedly with Qi Tianxiang's footsteps, constantly introducing the situation he had, although the words were urgent, but the coherence was still clear: "This is all caused by Hebai Shopping Mall Group's contempt for fire safety, ignoring equipment maintenance and updating, ignoring the fire brigade's repeated fire rectification notices, not actively eliminating potential safety hazards, and passively passing the buck, which is the main reason." Another reason is the negligence of air conditioning maintenance professionals, brutal operation, and carelessness, and during the commissioning of the equipment, important locations such as distribution boxes are left unattended and on duty. Another even more hateful factor is that when the initial fire broke out, several staff and security guards only used a few expired foam fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire, and fled the scene in a panic after failing to achieve the fire extinguishing effect, and did not choose to call the police, but called the head of the group department. It wasn't until the fire ignited, from the first floor of the annex building to the second floor, that the police were hurriedly called, and the fire was already difficult to control at this moment. ”

Qi Tianxiang walked very close to the door of Hebai before stopping, as if he had already felt the temperature of the flames, and he also knew that the scorching temperature came from the anger in his heart, and he was still far from the fire. Standing still, Qi Tianxiang tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart, shook hands politely with the captain of the fire brigade who commanded the fire fighting at the scene, and said with concern: "Tell the fire fighters to pay attention to their own safety, pay attention to self-protection, fire fighting and safety are equally important." ”

"Thank you Governor Qi for your concern, we must pay attention to safety, and carry forward the fearless spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, and actively cooperate with the deployment of the municipal government. The fire brigade leader looked at Qi Tianxiang eagerly, expressed his determination loudly, and then introduced: "This time fortunately, it is only the fire in the annex building, the fire shutter between the main building and the annex building has played a role, and the fire is completely isolated in the annex building. ”

Qi Tianxiang patiently listened to the introduction of the detachment leader, nodded with satisfaction and expressed his gratitude, but then he had doubts about his words, and aroused a high degree of vigilance, and asked puzzledly: "Rescue property and reduce losses?" Isn't there no trapped people? Are there still firefighters in the fire? Why? ”

"I asked Captain Zhang to do this." Before the detachment leader could answer, Wang Tao lost no time in interjecting and said smugly in the face of Qi Tianxiang: "No matter what the cause of the fire is, the merchants are always innocent, how can they afford such a loss." Therefore, being able to help them reduce some losses is the greatest help and care for them, and it also reflects the greatest care of the party and the government, which is the best embodiment of people's livelihood. ”

Wang Tao continued to add: "The fire has been burning for more than four hours, and the fire has been basically controlled. The soldiers have already rescued a lot of things, and the merchants will be grateful to them. ”

Wang Tao's complacent expression made Qi Tianxiang's heart tighten, and an ominous premonition strongly stimulated Qi Tianxiang's nerves, and he couldn't help but interrupt Wang Tao's complacent expression, reprimanded him for ignorance and rashness, and immediately asked the detachment leader to quickly withdraw the firefighters from the fire, but although the order was issued, the firefighters were also withdrawing according to the order, but it still caused a major tragedy of four dead and three injured.

"I came too late, if I had come a little earlier, if I had stopped this ignorant joy in time, and stopped this impulse to disregard the lives of the soldiers, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened." Qi Tianxiang reluctantly withdrew his gaze to the sky, looked at Lu Shanzun sadly, and said sadly: "The lives of the four officers and soldiers have just disappeared, how should we explain to their relatives!" ”

"Don't blame yourself too much, you have done your best, if it weren't for your timely reminder, I'm afraid there would have been more casualties." Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang emotionally, and tried his best to comfort and persuade: "We must seriously reflect, never shirk our responsibility, and we must give an explanation to the sacrificed martyrs." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun steadily, his eyes were full of trust, and even more full of self-blame and pain, and he seemed to have made up his mind silently at that moment.
