Listening to the voice of the seriously transcated voice on the mobile phone, Li Xiaohe realized that something was really wrong, but he still calmed down: "Slow down, what's wrong?" ”

"It's on fire, the compound is on fire." The voice on the phone was crying.

"Huh?" Li Xiaohe can't be calm anymore, water and fire are ruthless. He quickly sat up and asked as he went down to the ground, "Where did the compound catch fire, and what happened?" Did you burn someone? ”

"Yishan Company, the old wild vegetable factory, is the compound where the baskets are placed. I just got the news, I don't know yet, I'll go right away. The other person's voice was mixed with the sound of fast walking.

"Wait, let's go." While speaking, Li Xiaohe had already arrived in the outhouse, put down his mobile phone, and picked up the landline phone that was still ringing.

A voice immediately came out of the earpiece: "I'm Zhao Yinhe, the old wild vegetable factory compound is on fire, I'm rushing over, and I can see the fire in the car." ”

"Hao Dazhu lives there, let's see how he is first, and then see if there are any other personnel." Li Xiaohe instructed.

"Understood." The sound in the earpiece stopped abruptly.

Putting down the earpiece, Li Xiaohe trotted to the courtyard.

"Township Chief, here." Qin Mingsheng waved and shouted in the car.

Li Xiaohe walked quickly to the front, opened the car door, and sat down.

Cheng Jianfeng was fueled at his feet, and the car jumped out of the already open gate and rushed towards the highway.

As soon as the car stepped onto the road, it saw the light of the fire not far away, which was extremely striking in the dark night. For that courtyard, Li Xiaohe is not worried about the house, anyway, the fire has already ignited, and he is more concerned about Hao Dazhu, who lives in the courtyard. If there are casualties, it will be troublesome, and it is indeed pitiful for a lonely old man.

Getting closer and closer to the fire, Li Xiaohe is much more down-to-earth. He had already seen several people gesturing in the light of the fire, and among them was the figure of a half-grown old man.

Some distance from the gate, Cheng Jianfeng stopped the car. The police car of the police station was also parked here, and there was a car next to it, and some baggage and sundries were placed on the ground.

Seeing the arrival of the township chief's car, Zhao Yinhe and others all came over, including Hao Dazhu, and everyone under the car had a fiery red face.

After getting out of the car, Li Xiaohe asked directly: "There is no one inside, right?" What's going on? ”

Zhao Yinhe pointed to the fire: "There is no one there, it's the row of warehouses in the west." Judging from the current fire, it cannot be extinguished at all with our strength, unless there are professional fire trucks. But if you wait for the fire truck to come from the county seat, everything will be too late, and there is no need to transfer the fire truck at all. Fortunately, it is summer now, and the grass around is wet, and the fire will not spread endlessly, but those main houses are afraid that they will also be destroyed. ”

"Then you can't just leave it like that, you have to try it with a fire hydrant." Li Xiaohe's tone was very impulsive.

"No, village chief. Now the fire is not an ordinary rush, and holding a fire hydrant may not work. The point is that although there is no wind now, there are signs of wind, and once you stand close, if the wind suddenly comes, something big will happen. Zhao Yinhe's words were very resolute.

After glancing at the fire, Li Xiaohe retracted his gaze and asked, "How did you find out about the fire?" Who found out? ”

The strange man next to him spoke: "Township Chief, I am from Maozhong City, I went to see off my relatives today, and I stayed at my relatives' house at night." But suddenly I received a phone call, saying that the unit was going to hold a very important meeting tomorrow morning, and all of them must be attended, so I got up and rushed back overnight. When I got here, I saw that the house was on fire, and it was not too big at that time, so this uncle shouted 'help', so I drove the car over. Listening to the uncle, there was no one else inside, and he was going to go back and get something again. As I spoke, the fire was already raging, so I hurriedly persuaded the uncle not to take risks, and then called the police, and soon the director brought someone here. ”

Hao Dazhu added: "In the future, I drank some wine and went to bed early, and I slept quite dead." In the middle of the night, I felt a stomachache and got up to go to the hut. The curtains were drawn in the inner room, and I didn't notice it, but when I opened the door of the outhouse, I saw a fire in the southwest corner of the house. At that time, the flames were not too big, and I thought I was dazzled, but in the blink of an eye, the flames burst out. As soon as I saw the situation, I filled a basin of water and tried to put out the fire. When I got back to the courtyard, the fire was much stronger, and I saw that the little water didn't work, so I moved things out of the house.

I also wanted to report to the leader quickly, but I didn't have a phone, I didn't have a mobile phone, and I was two or three miles away from the township, so I couldn't catch up at all. I just shouted 'help' while moving things. It just so happened that he didn't let me go in again, and took out his mobile phone and called the police. Good man, this posterity is really a warm-hearted person. ”

"When you saw the fire, did you see anything else? Did you hear any movement? Li Xiaohe asked a few questions, "Are you afraid?" ”

Hao Dazhu shook his head: "I didn't see it, I didn't hear it." Even when I first saw the fire, I thought it was a ghost fire, but it's quite common anyway, so I'm not afraid. Fortunately, I had a stomach problem at the time, or I didn't know if I burned it to death, and I was quite scary to think about it. As long as there is a life, I am an old single, and it is easy to get anything. ”

There was a "woo" sound, and a gust of wind suddenly broke out on the flat ground.

Li Xiaohe subconsciously looked at the fire, only to see that the tongue of fire was biased to the east, covering a large area. He secretly said "It's so dangerous", and he couldn't help but be afraid of his blind command just now, fortunately, Zhao Yinhe is more experienced, otherwise it might cause a big disaster.

"Township Chief, come here and say something." Zhao Yinhe suddenly beckoned.

Li Xiaohe let out an "oh", walked out with the other party, and was some distance away from everyone.

Taking a step forward, Zhao Yinhe lowered his voice: "Township Chief, this fire is too fierce, and the color of the fire is also dark, it feels like a combustible." In addition, when I first arrived, I smelled gas oil, but now with volatilization and combustion, I basically can't smell it. The reason why I don't advocate fire hydrant extinguishing is also for this reason, once the wind sweeps the fire head, the fire is so fierce, it can cause casualties. ”

In fact, as soon as he heard the fire today, Li Xiaohe thought of this, but it was only a guess, and now when he heard Zhao Yinhe say this, he was even more convinced of his own thoughts. So he also whispered: "According to your analysis, what will be the situation?" ”

"It's hard to say now, so we can only wait for the fire to go out and then conduct an on-site investigation. Just now, the county bureau also inquired about the situation, and said that it would send someone to come immediately, and it must have come to investigate the scene. The person who called the police called the police center and then forwarded it to me, and the county bureau knew about the fire earlier. I only said that there were no casualties at the scene, and the fire would not spread to the surrounding area, and I did not say my doubts. By more professional investigations, the scene can also be felt more accurately, which is more helpful for solving cases. What we can do now is to try to control the scene as much as possible, retain the witnesses, and then cooperate with the county bureau to make a record of the interrogation later. Speaking of this, Zhao Yinhe pointed to the side of the road, "A lot of people are coming, let's go pull the cordon." ”

After answering "yes", Li Xiaohe and Zhao Yinhe returned to the position just now.

Zhao Yinhe and the police who came with him took out the cone and cordon, and quickly set up an isolation area.

People who came by the side of the road could only stand outside the line, pointing and making all kinds of comments and speculations.

"Crackling", "crackling", "plopping", the sound of burning wood and bricks falling to the ground came and went, and the roof and ridge were long lost in the fire, and only the general outline could be distinguished from the color of the fire.

Just now, I only paid attention to whether there were casualties, and I only cared about the situation of the fire, and I didn't care too much about the fire scene. Now looking at the imminent collapse of the wall and the collapse of the house, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart. After all, this is a township asset, and I have had many intersections with here, and I used to give a lecture here three days ago, but it will be turned into ashes and become a ruin in an instant.

"Woo" and two more gusts of wind protruded, and the flames suddenly shook and sparks flew wildly.

"Click", "Boom", the scrawny houses that have been burned are finally devastated, and most of them have collapsed.

Seeing this kind of scene, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but feel sad.

At this moment, "let's da", "bada", bean-sized raindrops fell.

Looking up at the dark sky, several heavy raindrops fell from the sky and hit Li Xiaohe's face, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the fire.

"Wow", the raindrops suddenly turned into a rain curtain and poured down.

The rain came so quickly that people were completely unprepared.

Seeing the lively crowd, they immediately shouted and ran to the parked car on the side of the road.

Li Xiaohe and others also got into the car immediately, he and Zhao Yinhe got into the police car, and the others got into the township chief's car and the police car.

Looking at the rain curtain and the fire outside the window, Li Xiaohe muttered to himself: "It's okay now, the fire will be extinguished soon, and several main houses will be saved." ”

"The scene was vandalized." Zhao Yinhe put forward a different opinion.

Hearing the other party's words, Li Xiaohe frowned.

This shower of rain came quickly, and it went quickly, from the beginning of the raindrops to the non-drops, it was only ten minutes. However, due to the heavy rain in the middle seven or eight minutes, the fire at the scene was successfully extinguished, and black smoke rose from the ruins. The fire was extinguished, not only because of the effect of the torrential rain, but also because the fire was only a large empty house, which was equivalent to the length of a normal eight or nine bungalows, and there was no other debris piled up in the house, otherwise it would not have been so easy.

When I got out of the car and stood on the ground again, I was already soaked in the rain and slippery. Every time you move your footsteps, you will make a sound of "ba" and "ba". If you don't pay attention to it, you will "slip" and almost slip.

Walking towards the smoke, the heavy smell of charcoal and water vapor rushed into the nasal tube.

"Tick Woo Woo", a siren sounded, and two lights lit up behind him.

Li Xiaohe turned his head to look, and an off-road vehicle with flashing police lights rushed towards him, the off-road vehicle was very familiar, and the license plate was more familiar when he looked at it.

Facing the lights and stepping on the sound of "bar" and "bar", Li Xiaohe, Zhao Yinhe and other policemen walked in the direction of the car.

"Zi", "chirp", made a different braking sound, and the off-road vehicle stopped there.

The car door opened, and a square-faced man got out of the car and ran towards everyone.
