Chapter 132: The Fire Rises (Part 1)
At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Weibin transported the last compressed piece of waste paper to the warehouse by forklift.
Not long after Chen Weibin entered, the warehouse suddenly went dark, and the light bulb on the wall on the left side of the warehouse went out.
After Chang Hang, the electrician on duty, got the news, glanced at the empty energy-saving bulb box on the shelf, took a 100-watt incandescent lamp from another box, and then went to warehouse No. 3, where waste paper was stored, with a tool kit on his back.
The warehouse usually has security guards to patrol, tonight on duty is the security guard Xie Peng, according to the regulations, every night into the warehouse must be accompanied by the security guard on duty, often hanging at the door of the warehouse left and right to look, and did not find the figure of the security guard on duty, flashed into the third warehouse.
After about five or six minutes, Chang Chang came out of the warehouse with his kit on his back, and when he saw that no one had found him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then sped up to leave.
Not long after Chang Hang left, Xie Peng walked slowly and leisurely from the No. 1 warehouse on the west side.
Around two o'clock in the morning, on the wall to the left of the warehouse, the unknown gel on the wires above the mouth of an incandescent lamp began to melt due to the heat it had been exposed to for too long.
After about twenty minutes or so, the gel completely dissolved, and the zero wire of the peeled rubber was connected to the live wire, but the air switch in the switch box did not jump strangely.
As a spark burst out, the wires began to burn, and the sparks from the rubber belt fell one by one on the waste paper pile below, and the fire stained the paper and burned instantly.
The man-made fire changed the lives of many people, including the canteen chef Wang Yongnian.
In the middle of the night, the sleeping Wang Yongnian suddenly had a stomach upset, and ran to the toilet on the east side of the dormitory only to find that the toilet was locked.
Just after going to the toilet and about to go back, Wang Yongnian suddenly caught a glimpse of a fire flashing in the warehouse, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted that the warehouse was on fire, and began to shout at the top of his throat: "Come on, it's on fire, put out the fire!" While shouting, he copied a fire extinguisher placed on the wall and rushed into the warehouse, Xie Peng, who was patrolling elsewhere, rushed to hear the news, picked up the fire extinguisher and rescued the fire with Wang Yongnian.
When Sun Shouwang and a group of employees rushed over in a hurry, the fire had basically been controlled by Wang Yongnian and Xie Peng, and there were only some sporadic flames left.
Half of the warehouse waste paper, if this is up, Sun Shouwang's face is pale, and the T blood on his back is already soaked, and it is all cold sweat.
Fortunately, thanks to the porcelain of waste paper compression, the fire could only be burned layer by layer and could not spread quickly, and it was found in time, so it did not cause a catastrophe.
There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with urgently, Sun Shouwang has no time to deal with Xie Peng's dereliction of duty, first let people use a forklift to fork out these over-fired waste paper bags, and then carefully check the cause of the fire with Zhang Hang and another electrician who rushed over.
After some research and analysis by several people, it was finally defined as a fire caused by a short circuit in the wire caused by the incandescent bulb that is often used in suspension due to poor quality.
As for why Xie Peng, who was in charge of the warehouse patrol tonight, didn't find that the No. 3 warehouse was on fire, his reason was that he heard movement on the side of the No. 1 warehouse, and he was afraid that there were thieves patrolling there, plus the fire fighting handle was burned just now, Sun Shouwang didn't ask too much for a while.
When Meng Tao arrived, it was half past three, Sun Shouwang reported the situation to Meng Tao, and the guards who came with Meng Tao asked the security captain and the security guard on duty Xie Peng briefly after a few words, and walked into the warehouse alone.
The warehouse was a mess, and there were many traces of water on the ground, so the guard stared at the scorched wire hanging down overhead for a moment, and then began to scan the surroundings carefully, and when he saw the lampshade in the corner, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked over and picked it up.
When I got to the brighter place, I brought the lampshade in front of me and looked at it carefully, and the bulb was broken, leaving only the lamp port and a few burned tungsten filaments attached to it.
Frowning and thinking about it, Wei Jun took the lampshade out of the warehouse, came to Sun Shouwang, who was reporting the situation to Meng Tao, and asked in a condensed voice: "Mr. Sun, why did the energy-saving lamp be replaced with an incandescent lamp?"
"Oh, that's what happened," Sun Shouwang explained: "The light bulb suddenly burned at nine o'clock last night, and there was no energy-saving light bulb in the electrician's warehouse, so I had to use an incandescent lamp to top it all night. ”
"You mean the light bulb was just replaced?" Wei Jun's eyes narrowed slightly: "Which electrician changed it?"
"I changed it. Chang Hang, who was standing on the side, said, facing the gaze of the guards, Zhang Hang's heart felt weak for a while.
"What time did you change?"
"About half-past nine. The worker said that the light bulb in the warehouse was broken, and I did not find an energy-saving bulb, so in order not to affect production, I temporarily took an incandescent bulb and replaced it. Chang Hang lowered his head and said.
"What's the problem with the light bulb?" the guard continued to ask, staring at Chang Hanging.
"It's burned. ”
"Was anyone there when you changed the light bulb?"
"No, Xie Peng wasn't there at the time, I came out after changing. ”
"You don't know that there must be at least two people to enter the warehouse at night?"
"I know, I waited for a while, but there was still no one, so I went in by myself, and I'll pay attention next time. Now that it was all destroyed, even the light bulb that had been replaced was smashed and thrown into the trash, and Chang Hang was not afraid of the guards finding anything, so his speech became normal.
The guards looked at their subordinates, the security captain Jin Yang, and Jin Yang hurriedly said: "Captain, Mr. Sun and I have already checked the monitoring just now, and Xie Peng was indeed patrolling the No. 1 warehouse at that time. ”
The guard nodded, and then asked Chang Xuan, "How long has it been since the light bulb was replaced?"
"After about five minutes, I checked the line again after the change. ”
"Where's that light bulb?"
"Throw it in the trash. ”
"Find it out for me. The guard's voice grew colder and colder.
"Good. With that, Chang Xuan turned around and walked briskly towards the trash can not far away.
"Got a problem?" Meng Tao glanced at Chang Hanging's back, and asked at the guard, he knew the guard, he didn't talk much, and he never dwelled on meaningless things, he asked so much just now, he must have found something.
"Fish problem. With that, the guards followed.
"That's it, ah, why is it broken?" he shone with his phone's flashlight, often pointing to a pile of light bulb crumbs in the trash can and chewing on it.
Since the time for dumping the garbage at the chemical fiber plant was 8 p.m., there was nothing at the bottom of the trash can except a pile of broken light bulbs.
Glancing at the frowning guards with his peripheral vision, Chang Hang couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart, thanks to his thoughtful smashing of the light bulb, see what else you can find out now.
"Why did you smash it?" the guard asked in a cold voice.
