Chapter 119 The Arsonist!
"Seniors, you flatter me. I am just a small businessman. Compared to you two big shots who work hard for the people every day, my little reputation is nothing."
Chen Le responded very modestly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Er nodded approvingly.
This kid is pretty good. He's handsome, but not ostentatious. He knows how to be humble and hide his talents.
"Ah Le, to be honest, your third uncle called you here this time to ask you to do your brother Zhang a favor."
Chu Tianhe said with a smile.
"Ok?"
Chen Le touched his chin curiously.
Next, Chu Tianhe briefly described to Chen Le the details of the fire at the Linhe Street building, as well as the many suspicious points.
Zhang Er, in his capacity as a member of the fire brigade, also provided some relevant details.
After listening, Chen Le fell into deep thought.
this matter……
A little tricky.
"So, Ah Le? Have you found any clues from this?"
Chu Tianhe pondered for a moment, then slowly asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Er became nervous and quickly looked at Chen Le, his eyes filled with longing.
He genuinely hoped to find some clues.
To wash away the injustice done to oneself.
It wasn't that he desperately wanted the promotion; it was mainly because he felt... frustrated.
This is so frustrating!
"Although there are many suspicious points in this arson case."
“Many things spontaneously combusted, and no evidence of arson could be found, but I am 100% certain…”
Chen Le narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "It was man-made!"
After he finished speaking, Chu Tianhe and Zhang Er exchanged a glance, their eyes showing astonishment!
An eerie silence fell over the room.
These words were like a stone thrown into a deep, unfathomable pool.
In an instant, towering waves were created!
Just then, a sudden phone rang.
Suddenly, a sound broke the silence!
It's Zhang Er's phone call!
Zhang Er frowned and looked at Chu Tianhe.
Chu Tianhe nodded, and Zhang Er then pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
However, in just a moment, his expression changed drastically.
"Assemble now! Dispatch other detachments and proceed to the scene immediately to provide support!!"
"No need to wait for approval, the lives of the people are more important!"
"My orders are my instructions; I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!!"
Zhang Er's expression suddenly became anxious, and even his tone rose considerably.
He was no longer as calm as before.
Upon hearing this, Chen Le's expression immediately turned serious.
Zhang Er gave a few instructions and then hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Elder Chu, Brother Chen, you two should rest for a while."
"I must excuse myself and hurry up and go on duty."
Zhang Er's face was very ugly.
As he spoke, he got up and put his coat on.
With his former boss right in front of him, his actions were quite presumptuous, but there was no other way; the situation was urgent, and he couldn't afford to hesitate.
"What's wrong, Zhang Er? Another fire?"
Chu Tianhe asked with a solemn expression.
As Zhang Er put on his shoes, he sighed deeply: "It's a fire, and this time it came on fiercely..."
"The scariest thing is that it's not just in one place."
"A fire broke out in the forests on the eastern outskirts of Tianzhou without warning, and the same thing happened near the Xintiandi Building..."
"The most bizarre thing is that they all spontaneously combust."
"The expert team and the criminal investigation team went there again, but they still haven't found the cause of the fire."
"Fortunately, the forest fire in the eastern suburbs is not large. We have dispatched our brothers from the surrounding areas to deal with it!"
"But the fire at the Xintiandi Building is very fierce."
"Almost all the fire brigades in Tianzhou have rushed over to provide support!"
“I have to get to my post too, otherwise it won’t be as simple as just a disciplinary action.”
Zhang Er's face was ashen, and the more he spoke, the more stifled he felt.
The area under his jurisdiction was frequently hit by fire.
It has already caused a major economic crisis!
If this results in heavy casualties, the consequences are unimaginable.
The key question is, where exactly is the problem?!
We've investigated the areas that needed to be investigated, and avoided the areas that needed to be avoided!
Where exactly did the fault occur?
"unreasonable!"
Chu Tianhe pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something was wrong.
"The Xintiandi Building is a key target area for the city's fire safety awareness campaign!"
"The merchants who have joined are all deeply engaged in learning!"
"I've inspected the area before, and it's absolutely impossible for them to store any spontaneously combustible or dangerous materials!"
At this point, Zhang Er was also stunned.
Yes!
At Xintiandi Building, not only are the merchants professionally trained, but they are also highly skilled in the field.
The entire area is also a key patrol target for the fire brigade.
How could hazardous materials spontaneously combust?
In an instant, Chu Tianhe and Zhang Er seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning!
What Chen Le just said.
It was like a thunderclap, echoing in my ears!
"Although there are many suspicious points in this arson case."
"But I am 100% certain..."
"It was man-made!"
Oh my goodness.
Could it be that he was right?
Chu Tianhe and Zhang Er exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of surprise!
Zhang Er, in particular, was extremely agitated. He murmured a few times, wanting to ask Chen Le for help but too embarrassed to say it aloud.
“Ah Le”.
Chu Tianhe asked seriously, "Your brother Zhang is about to start work. Time is precious. Tell me your judgment."
Zhang Er nodded vigorously, his ears perking up.
Now that two fires have broken out, he is extremely anxious.
I wish I could rush to the scene right now to take command.
Only by putting out this fire as soon as possible can he calm down his anger.
Chen Le thought for a moment, then said seriously:
"Brother Zhang Er, although the fire at the Xintiandi Building is severe and it's located in a residential area, so it should theoretically have a higher priority, my opinion is—"
"Leave one detachment to Xintiandi, the main force should immediately head to the suburbs to fight the wildfires."
"The murderer's real purpose was to set the mountain on fire."
"The fire at the Xintiandi Building may have looked fierce, but in reality, it could have been extinguished by a single fire brigade."
"But the wildfire was the real culprit's goal."
"It's not only tricky, but it's also more likely to result in irreparable damage."
"Most importantly, if we lead the team into the mountains now, we can still catch the murderer himself!"
Since it involved human lives, Chen Le's account was very appropriate and detailed.
But as soon as he said it, the other two were stunned.
Was the fire in the shopping mall just a cover-up?
Wildfires are the real purpose?!
This news is shocking, it's simply unbelievable!
Zhang Er stood at the doorway, his hands gripping the doorframe until his knuckles turned white.
Chu Tianhe and Chen Le both fell silent.
On one side are the wildfires spreading, and on the other side are the people who may be in danger.
For Chen Le, making predictions is a very simple thing.
But for Zhang Er, making a choice was too difficult.
Inside the room, one could almost hear Zhang Er's heart pounding.
Everyone could sense his hesitation, indecision, and torment.
It was as if his heart had become a frying pan, cooking up his inner turmoil.
