On August 10, 2008, a very strange fire incident occurred in Hong Kong - the fire at Golden Harvest Building in Mong Kok. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The fire burned for almost six hours from nine in the morning and was not extinguished until five in the afternoon. According to Hong Kong media reports, a level 5 fire at Golden Harvest Building in Mong Kok has killed four people, including two firefighters who died in the line of duty, and 57 others were injured.

According to the fire log records, the fire at Golden Harvest Building in Mong Kok broke out at about 9 o'clock and the fire burned for nearly 6 hours. According to the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, the 15-storey building where the accident occurred, the fire broke out in a nightclub in the attic, the fire department received the report at 9:25, and arrived at the fire scene 3 minutes later, the scene was already thick with smoke, the fire department upgraded the fire alarm to level 3 at 9:45, and the fire alarm to level 4 at 10:23, but after dispatching more than 200 firefighters and 40 fire trucks to fight the fire, the fire was still not under control, so at 12:16, the fire alarm was upgraded to level 5, and the fire was not extinguished until 3:13 pm. Two firefighters were killed in the line of duty, a 77-year-old woman died, and a charred body was later found at the fire, bringing the death toll to four. Another 57 people were injured, including three firefighters. (The fire log is "copied and copied", not even a single punctuation mark has been changed, it is absolutely true!) ）

This fire log can be said to be very vague, and there are at least three doubts that have not been explained clearly: 1. The reason for the fire, the fire log simply says: a nightclub in the attic. Passing by, it is inexplicable. 2. Why does it take six hours for an ordinary building fire to be extinguished? 3. Why does the fire get bigger and bigger?

At that time, when the report came out, many media also asked the spokesperson of the FSD about these three issues, but I don't know why the spokesperson was silent on these three questions. Later, a reporter who had a good event went to the field to cover the event, and made an unexpected discovery. The following is an excerpt from the newsletter of the person who went to the field to interview.

(Editor's note: Since this newsletter is full of Hong Kong accents, the author has made the necessary changes here.) Moreover, the newsletter is long, and the background investigation of the characters is also very detailed, so it cannot be copied in its entirety here, so the excerpts here are only part of the content. The first person in the following is called a journalist. ）

I came to the location of the incident nightclub, the whole Golden Harvest Building is 15 floors high, and this nightclub is on the top of the 15th floor, according to the management of this property, there will be sprinklers on each floor, but this attic does not have any fire protection facilities, then I am very puzzled, such a nightclub that has been in business for three years, how did it obtain business qualifications? The fire-fighting facilities are incomplete, and the fire can no longer be controlled in the first place. But even so, I still have questions: as everyone knows, the most worrying thing about the building fire is the fire in the middle of the floor, so the fire will spread around, but the fire here is at the highest floor, the fire will only gradually move down, and the fire alarm is also very timely, why can't it be controlled? Many owners here have told me one thing: this fire is not an ordinary fire, but a fire of ignorant karma. If one person tells me, it may be suspicious of one-sided words, but all the people I come into contact with here will tell me the same argument, so I have to listen to it with peace of mind. What they told me was this: since the nightclub opened in the attic, the downstairs neighbors were a little uneasy, not because of the noise, but because of some random people who came here. After a long time, the "supporting facilities" of the nightclub are also complete: many "buildings. Feng (Do you still need me to explain this?) If you really don't know, you can go to Baidu. Started leasing properties here and did a good job. The owners reacted very much to this. There is an old couple on the 15th floor, who originally lived peacefully, but since they have this nightclub and building. Fenghou, even if the whole life is completely destroyed, every day there are some people who go up to the fifteenth floor and knock on their door by mistake, and this situation usually happens in the middle of the night, which makes the old couple very unbearable, and has also called the police to complain many times, because of this, the nightclub upstairs began to threaten the old couple, saying that it is not in the way of making a fortune, so that the old couple can do their own thing, the old couple is already weak and sickly, especially the male owner has high blood pressure and heart disease, because of this threat, the body is affected, A few days later, he died of a heart attack at home, when the hostess had an ambulance call, but because the elevator was frequently occupied by nightclubs, she could not arrive at the scene in time to rescue.

After the death of the hostess, the hostess hardly went out, and occasionally community volunteers came to visit, but the hostess politely refused through the iron gate. But the next thing is a little unbelievable: when the cleaner in the corridor cleans to the 15th floor every morning, he will always find that the ground on the 15th floor will be sprinkled with a lot of rice, and he didn't feel anything for a day or two, but then every day, the cleaner contacted the property manager and checked the monitoring, which I don't know, I was startled when I saw it, and the monitoring was in the monitoring, every three o'clock in the morning, the hostess on the 15th floor would carry a bag of things out of the house, and then take out the rice in the bag and sprinkle it on the fifteenth floor. Finally staggered back to the house. The property manager was very puzzled by the hostess's behavior, and had come to the door several times to try to communicate with the hostess, but the hostess was always through the iron door, perfunctory. Since this was not a big deal, in the end, the hostess went to sprinkle rice every day, and then asked the cleaner to clean it every day.

Until one day, when the cleaner cleaned the 15th floor as usual, he found that there was no rice on the 15th floor, and he felt very strange, and he came to the door of the hostess with his head probed, and attached his ears to the door, wanting to listen to the movement inside, only to hear the chatter inside, it should be a lot of people chatting, which made the cleaner feel very strange, this simple hostess, how could there be so many people at home at this time? So the cleaner informed the property manager of the situation, and the property manager was also curious to see who went to visit the hostess's house, so he called up the monitoring to check it......
