"What is there to doubt about the fire, this is a clear thing, no one can predict it. I lost my job for this matter, who do I find to reason, what does this have to do with me. I said it, I don't know anything! Nothing to see! Hurry up. Uncle Ma said with some displeasure.

"Uncle Ma, don't have any worries, tell what you see or know. We will keep it confidential for you. Wang Kegong said that he guessed that the old man might have heard something, and the old man had some concerns in his heart, otherwise he would not have spoken so bluntly.

"Don't ask anymore, I don't know anything, I won't say anything, if you don't leave, I'll go." The old man got up and went out as he spoke, and dried the two of them in the yard, which made them both feel very embarrassed.

"What's this called, the old man is too much of that? It simply doesn't take us seriously. At this age, I don't understand anything, and I'm not as good as a three-year-old child. Wang Kegong said impulsively. Li Lianyong quietly grabbed him, meaning to calm him down.

"You old fool, just leave, expose the two comrades here, you don't understand anything at such an old age, you play with a child's temper, and you don't know anything at all." Aunt Ma said and chased out. Wang Kegong looked at Li Lianyong, meaning to go or not, it didn't make sense to stay like this. If people don't say that you can't do anything, you can't pry his mouth open and let him speak.

"Wait, Aunt Ma may know something, I guess someone must be threatening Uncle Ma to keep him from speaking. There must be articles in this, we must do more work on Uncle Ma to dispel his doubts, otherwise our trip will not be in vain, and we will not be able to pay the difference then. Sun Yaozhang is a master who admits death, he can't pass him without results, he won't let go even if there is a clue, we are all so old, I can't let him say anything. Li Lianyong said.

"That's right. Don't look at his age much younger than us, but after all, he is the section chief, and he has the final say in the work, so he can't let him find fault with us. This is not enough to be counted by him. Wang Kegong said.

After a while, Aunt Ma came back alone, and when she saw that the two were still standing in the yard, she felt very sorry not to go, and quickly let them into the house.

"Two comrades. I'm really sorry, my old man is naturally timid and afraid of things, and he doesn't understand anything at all, and now his chess friend Uncle An's family is persuading my old man, and he still listens to his words. You sit down for a while, I'll cut a watermelon for you, it's not easy for you on a hot day, you ran so far to find him to understand the situation, and you were snubbed. It's really gratifying. Aunt Ma said. Wang Kegong and Li Lianyong followed Aunt Ma into the house.

"Thank you, auntie, don't bother, we're not thirsty." Wang Kegong said.

"Nonsense, how can you not be thirsty on such a hot day, eat a piece of watermelon to cool down." Aunt Ma said as she took out the watermelon from the refrigerator, put it on the table and cut a few pieces and handed them to them, they were really thirsty, and when they met someone like Uncle Ma, their hearts were uncomfortably hot. My throat and eyes followed the fire, and I saw the cold watermelon. My heart suddenly cooled down, and I took the watermelon and ate it in a big gulp, and my heart was happy.

"Aunt Ma, did someone say something to Uncle Ma. That's why Uncle Ma is like this? Li Lianyong asked while eating watermelon.

"Here's the thing, I came home very early this morning and told me that the company was on fire, it burned badly, he was fired, and I thought I wouldn't do it. It's so old, it's not bad to stay at home. Aunt Ma said.

"Did someone find Uncle Ma and say something to him?" Wang Kegong asked.

"At noon, Wu Haitao sent Ling Zhiming to my house, he told the old man, don't talk nonsense about the company's fire, just say nothing I don't know, it was found by a passing driver, if there are some other situations, the insurance company does not pay money, it is not good for him. Before leaving, Ling Zhiming put down 10,000 yuan and said that this was this year's salary, Wu Haitao did a little too much in the morning, and he shouldn't be fooled around, but there is no way to do it, and he can't break the company's rules because of this. The workers up and down are watching, they can only deal with it like this, otherwise they will make trouble, we dare not accept this money, we know Wu Haitao's personality, he is urgent, he can do anything. Aunt Ma said and poured another cup of tea for the two of them.

"Aunt Ma, Uncle Ma told you about some situations where there was no fire?" Li Lianyong asked.

He told me that it was a little strange that the company was on fire, and that the entire office building was unoccupied, so how could it catch fire for no reason? If it is said that the fire was caused by the aging of the line, but the line was newly replaced this year, someone must have deliberately set the fire, but who could this person be? He couldn't make it clear that Ling Zhiming's purpose in coming to my house was to prevent him from telling the truth. The old man was timid by nature and was afraid of Wu Haitao's power. Aunt Ma said.

"Did the old man tell you anything?" Wang Kegong asked.

"I didn't say anything else, he was afraid that it would be bad for people to know and provoke right and wrong." Aunt Ma said.

At this time, the phone of Uncle Ma's house rang, Aunt Ma picked up the phone, it was Uncle An who called, asked if the comrades of the Public Security Bureau were still there, Aunt Ma replied that it was, Uncle An told Aunt Ma that Lao Ma would go home in a while, and let the comrades of the Public Security Bureau wait a little longer.

"You two are waiting for a while, and they'll be back shortly." Aunt Ma poured some water for them and said.

"It seems that Uncle Ma has seen some situations, he was threatened by Ling Zhiming, he didn't dare to tell us the truth, and his departure from home means that there is a problem here." Li Lianyong said.

"It's all because I'm too impatient to think of this? This Wu Haitao has some brains, and everything is ahead of us. Wang Kegong said.

His mood is more impatient, where is there such a complicated fire incident, and Huaxia did not report the case, which has nothing to do with the Public Security Bureau, just to assist the insurance company in the investigation, whether to pay compensation or not is the insurance company's own business, why be so serious. If there is really no problem, the insurance company pays the money, and all the work they do is in vain, useless, this is a thankless task, and it makes Wu Haitao extremely dissatisfied, he is a celebrity, he will settle everything, and he will scold the Public Security Bureau for not being able to do things, and the relationship will not be easy to get along with in the future.

At this time, Uncle An and Uncle Ma entered the house, "Comrade Public Security, don't mind, Lao Ma is very timid and has a very real heart, Wu Haitao took a fancy to him, so he asked him to go to the door." Big brother, you have to make it clear to the comrades of the Public Security Bureau what you see, otherwise you will always be jealous in your heart. Uncle An said.

That's the case, last night, about ten o'clock, during the second night patrol, I found that there was a flashlight in the storeroom on the second floor, and I felt a little strange, there was no one living there, who would be in it so late, why didn't I turn on the light, hurriedly came to the second floor, and listened carefully from door to door, but there was no movement inside, thinking that I was dazzled and didn't care. But I smelled a smell of gasoline, and I didn't think much about it at the time and went back. At three o'clock, when I visited the night again, I didn't find any movement, and I thought that nothing would happen when it was almost dawn, so I took a nap.

"I didn't expect it to catch fire at night, and it scared me out. Wu Haitao fired me, I don't have anything to say, who let me sleep during work hours, this is my dereliction of duty at work. But then again, the fire had nothing to do with me, and I was a little wronged to be fired. Uncle Ma told the story of that night.

"When I got home, I felt that something was wrong, how could it suddenly catch fire."

"Did you see anyone before that?" Li Lianyong asked.

After the second night patrol, after returning to the guardhouse for a while, I only saw the company's deputy general manager Shi Liangying driving away in a car, and never saw anyone else come in or go out. But the fire broke out in the company several hours after she left, and it couldn't have been her.

"Why did she set the fire? The company treats her well, and she doesn't have any deep hatred, not to mention that she and Wu Haitao have that kind of relationship, and it is impossible to do that, which I really can't figure out. Uncle Ma said.

"Then when you were on patrol at night, did you find Shi Liangying in the company?" Wang Kegong asked.

"Before this, it seems that her car drove in, the company has a vehicle back at night, the time is not accurate, the door has been open, how many years have not had an accident, blame me for being too careless, but when the night patrol passed by her room, I didn't find that the lights were on in her room, she should not be in the company, but she has a car, it is convenient to come and go. She sometimes lives in the company, and she is fooling around with Wu Haitao. Wu Haitao did not live in the company that day. At night, generally only he and Shi Liangying live, unless there is a major meeting, several vice presidents can't go back, and they occasionally live in the company. Uncle Ma said.

"Then what did Ling Zhiming say to you?" Li Lianyong asked.

"Ling Zhiming found me, he told me that the Public Security Bureau and the insurance company were going to investigate the cause of the fire, and asked me not to talk nonsense, just say what I didn't see and hear anything, which involves the insurance company losing money, don't be a big thing, this is a natural fire, if the insurance company doesn't lose money, he won't spare me, and give me 10,000 yuan, saying that it was to give me this year's salary, at first I didn't dare to ask for it, he said that he didn't want it, just keep his mouth shut, once he revealed a little rumor, then he wouldn't be polite." Uncle Ma said.

"So you're so scared to tell us the truth?" Li Lianyong asked. (To be continued.) )
