Chapter 386 Arson
Not long after, Xiaobai also drove to the scene. Lin Yang from the dock came with him. After seeing the situation at the scene, the two were shocked and they had never seen such a big fire in their lives.
The brewery covering an area of hundreds of acres was surrounded by surging flames. The raging fire swung with the wind, and the flames were four or five meters high. The winery boilers were burned red. There were crowds of people watching the fun everywhere outside the winery. Jiang Cheng and his friends could feel the heat emitted by the fire when they stood on the road.
The fire trucks that came first obviously lacked fire extinguishing capabilities, and the fire became increasingly large, and it was almost burning to a residential area several hundred meters away. There was no tendency to be smaller. The captain of the fire brigade who led the team hurriedly called for support.
Soon, fire vehicles from several other teams also arrived at the scene. As soon as they arrived at the scene, they immediately launched a fire-fighting operation. More than a dozen large water spray pipes sprayed violently at the open flames. However, after several rounds, the fire did not decrease, but instead became bigger and bigger. Outside the winery, several workers who had just escaped from the inside were lying on the ground. Several of them were so smoked by the fire. When they saw firefighters outside, several workers rushed toward this side.
When the captain of the fire brigade saw this situation, he immediately stopped everyone and said, "Stop spraying foam, the fire cannot be stopped. The leader of the rank immediately organized forces to evacuate nearby people and build fire protection belts. Everyone else will go to rescue the wounded."
The captain is an old firefighter for more than ten years. When he saw the fire in the winery, he knew that the fire was difficult to extinguish, and it was even more impossible to use water to extinguish the fire, because this is the winery. The entire factory is filled with alcohol, and the water is heavier than alcohol. If the water flows outward, it will lead the fire outside. Five hundred meters ahead of here is the residential area. Now it is time to get off work and cook. If the fire spreads near the residential area, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
At this moment, at the end of the road, two black Audi official cars and more than a dozen small cars drove into the open area at the door of the winery under the protection of several police cars. Behind them were a series of news interview cars from TV stations and other media. It seemed that the media had also received news.
The political commissar of the fire brigade saw it and murmured: "It's over, Secretary Song and Mayor Wang are here!"
When the political commissar saw the situation, he knew that the first and second leaders of Jiangnan City had arrived. Such a big fire occurred, and it was impossible for the two top parents of Jiangnan City to not come. This time, their fire brigade must be responsible. There was such a big fire in the city. Regardless of whether their supervision was in place, whether their rescue or not, whether they were rescued or not, this time they could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty!
Song Lian and Wang Huasheng both walked off their car. When they saw the flames soaring into the sky, they were both shocked. The fire could be said to have broken the fire record in Jiangnan City. This is definitely the largest fire in Jiangnan City since its founding.
The expressions on Song Lian and Wang Huasheng's faces were extremely serious, and Song Lian shouted loudly: "Where is Jiang Cheng! Where is this stinky brat in Jiang Cheng?"
Jiang Chengru stood on the side of the road, and he saw Song Lian and Wang Huasheng's cars as soon as possible. When Song Lian called him, Jiang Cheng hurriedly said to Li Shiya: "Hurry up, help me over!"
Li Shiya and Qi Qiaotong hurriedly reached out to support Jiang Cheng, with three people in front and more than a dozen senior workers and executives behind. The group came to the front of two highest power figures in Jiangnan City.
Wang Huasheng pointed at Jiang Cheng's nose and shouted angrily: "Jiang Cheng, you bastard, explain it to me clearly, how did this fire burn?"
Song Lian also asked, "Is there anyone else in it now? Is anyone injured? Is anyone killed?"
Jiang Cheng glared at him, and he didn't know how to answer the questions of the two leaders, because he hadn't figured out the situation yet!
When Qi Qiaotong saw Jiang Cheng like this, she knew that he didn't know that he should answer steadily. She rushed forward and replied, "Two leaders, Mr. Jiang has just arrived here, so I know a little about the situation."
Song Lian said anxiously: "Then tell me quickly, what's going on? Are there any workers in the factory?"
Qi Qiaotong struggled for a few moments and said, "The fire started when I got off work. It should have started from the wine can in the warehouse. Because the alcohol was smokeless when it burned, the warehouse administrator discovered it when he saw that the fire had become bigger. However, at that time, we had no time to put out the fire. Because the wine can exploded, everyone threw down their work after hearing the explosion and ran out!"
Wang Huasheng then asked, "Where is that person? Is anyone injured?"
The dozen senior executives and workers behind him looked at me and I looked at you. After a long time, the warehouse manager said, "Laotian, Laotian is gone!"
When Jiang Cheng heard Lao Tian, he knew it was Tian Jinglong. Because he was the only one named Tian in the factory, Jiang Cheng almost fainted. He walked over and grabbed the supervisor's collar and asked, "How did Brother Tian die? How did he die?"
The warehouse manager is an old man from the factory. He has worked with Tian Jinglong for more than ten years. Tian Jinglong is gone, and he is also very sad. He cried and said to Jiang Cheng: "When the fire was burning near the wine jar, I pulled Lao Tian and advised him to leave quickly. I said that the fire could not be extinguished at all, so we should run away quickly. But Lao Tian said, he said, the boss is not bad to us. If the fire is burned, the boss will definitely be worthy of losing everything. We must put out the fire."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, tears flowed down his eyes. In order to put out the fire and protect his property, Tian Jinglong couldn't help but even want his own life!
The warehouse manager continued, "Lao Tian also said that he said that the boss has been worrying a lot about why these old workers have been owed many years of wages and has been asking us to get back. If he doesn't have any life at this time, he will have no time to play!
But, just as he was holding the fire extinguisher, a wine pot No. 1 suddenly exploded, and Lao Tian and Lao Tian were burned to death! Several other workers also followed Lao Tian in to put out the fire, and together, everyone was blown away."
Before he finished speaking, the audience was silent. Li Shiya, Qi Qiaotong and other ladies were already crying and in a daze, and a group of executives also looked sad.
Song Lian and Wang Huasheng were both stupid after learning that human lives were killed. Such a big fire would definitely be killed. Maybe some people who had not counted were injured or had been buried in the fire. The specific number of people still needs to be calculated, but such a big safety accident and such a big responsibility must be cared for.
Song Lian patted Wang Huasheng on the shoulder and said in a heavy tone: "Old partner, I feel wronged!"
How could Wang Huasheng not understand what Song Lian meant? If the death toll reached more than seven people in such a large safety accident, he, the mayor, would be over. He said in annoyance: "Old leader, I will leave it to you here. I will go to the provincial leader to admit my mistakes!"
After saying that, he took his driver and secretary away from the scene.
The mayor left, and the remaining cadres looked at Song Lian. Song Lian walked to Jiang Cheng angrily, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You bastard, you bastard, as the boss of a winery, you didn't take good care of safety, as the boss of a company, you didn't take good care of employees, now you have someone killed. If the consequences are serious, you are waiting to be sentenced!"
Jiang Cheng was stunned when he heard that he was going to be sentenced, but he quickly realized that Secretary Song had asked him to take the blame. With such a big fire, the mayor's stepping down, and maybe it would implicate the secretary of the municipal party committee. No matter how stupid Jiang Cheng was, he still knew a little about the situation. The two leaders must have thought that their safety measures were not done in place, so there was a big fire. They didn't know that the fire was actually artificial.
Jiang Cheng said back: "Secretary Song, while you are here, I will report the case to you in person!"
Song Lian was about to let the police around him control Jiang Cheng first. When he heard that he wanted to report the case to him, Song Lian asked in confusion: "Report the case? What case should be reported?"
"Someone set fire in my winery!" Jiang Cheng said firmly.
As soon as these two words were said, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and Song Lian's nerves also tense. If what Jiang Cheng said was true, there must be a huge conspiracy. What a great revenge would set fire in the winery. If one accidental accident would be a major casualty accident of hundreds of people, the central government must send a special task force to come down. This is not a joke.
Song Lian said to Jiang Cheng with a stern face: "Jiang Cheng, you can think clearly. You can't say this nonsense. Whether it is an accidental fire or arson, there is a big difference!"
Of course, Jiang Cheng thought it through clearly. How could he not hear what Secretary Song meant? If you have no evidence to prove that this was arson by man, then you are suspected of wanting to clear the charge, which would be a crime. But once it is proved that it was arson by man, then you can clear the suspicion and Mayor Wang's future can be preserved.
Jiang Cheng took out his cell phone, recorded the call from himself and the person who threatened him just now, and handed the phone to Song Lian and said, "Secretary Song, after hearing this, you will understand that what I said is not a lie!"
Song Lian took the cell phone in Jiang Cheng's hand suspiciously, picked it up and listened to it for a while. Slowly, Song Lian's face became increasingly ugly, and in the end he was almost becoming ferocious.
After listening to this recording, he immediately said to the secretary beside him: "You, call me the Public Security Director Qin Mufeng, immediately, immediately!"
