The fire in Wanyuan Community was extinguished at around 8 o'clock in the evening.

When the body of Zhou Ying, a Zhan Hexiongshi of the Love Bridge Squadron, was carried out, there was a depressed sob sound at the scene. The fingers and Zhan Hexiongshi, who had just participated in the fire, were watching their comrades-in-arms with dirty faces and exhaustion.

The captain of the Hongwu Detachment, Chen Xiaofei, the Zhenghexiong Committee, the deputy captain, etc. all rushed to the scene after hearing the news.

Chen Xiaofei shouted solemnly: "Salute--"

The commanders and soldiers raised their right hands one after another, and nine fire trucks at the scene honking whistles at the same time, making the night deeper.

Chen Xiaofei also transferred another squadron to clear the fire and let all those involved in the firefighting go back to rest.

The fire trucks drove away one after another. Ren Yi did not rush to leave, but walked to Chen Xiaofei: "Captain Chen."

Chen Xiaofei nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Ren Yi looked at Chen Xiaofei's eyes: "Captain Chen, there is no problem with the command of Chief Xu Shenhe Mou Xie and Captain Qian."

Chen Xiaofei turned his head and looked at the distance: "Qian Yue's mood is very bad now. You were there at that time. What happened."

Ren Yi's eyes were dark and painful: "When they were searching and rescue, an aunt insisted on going back to get her belongings, and ran back to the fire despite dissuasion. Zhou Ying went back to save her, and the floor... collapsed."

Chen Xiaofei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Ren Yi, I know you are worried about Qian Yue, but why the floor slab collapses, whether it is too water-shooting and not evenly bearing weights, there are obvious signs to follow during the deformation of the steel beam, why did the commander not notice it? These are Qian Yue's 'problems'."

Ren Yi bit his lip, his heart full of reluctance and grief.

He knew that Chen Xiaofei was right. If a person died, he had to analyze the causes and consequences thoroughly. He had to be responsible for all commands from bottom to top, including Chen Xiaofei.

But that is a rapidly changing fire scene, a battlefield of life and death. Who can ensure that his instructions are 100% correct? Is Qian Yue responsible? As an on-site commander, there is, but is he wrong?

Chen Xiaofei saw Ren Yi’s thoughts, he patted Ren Yi on the shoulder and sighed: “I know what you are thinking. No one wants such a thing to happen, but it has happened. We need to clarify every responsibility to warn later generations and try to avoid such things.”

Ren Yi nodded: "I understand."

"Don't worry, I will handle Qian Yue's affairs. You can go back and rest."

----

After Ren Yi returned to the squadron, he took a shower and fell asleep in a drowsy manner.

Due to a temporary incident, this year's detachment competition was cancelled. According to the results of the first day, the Phoenix Squadron is still the first place, but no one paid attention to it.

In the fire accident in Wanyuan Community, including Zhou Ying, a total of 6 people were killed and 32 people were injured, of which 5 were seriously injured and have not been out of danger so far.

After dinner, Qu Yangbo summoned everyone to have a meeting to provide psychological counseling for everyone, especially the two classes that participated in the rescue. He would inevitably feel very depressed in a short period of time.

After the meeting, Qu Yangbo said to Ren Yi: "You should have two days off."

Ren Yi nodded: "I plan to have a vacation too. I just called Xu Shen and Chief Mou Xie. I want to participate in this fire tune."

"Did you take the initiative to ask to participate in the fire tune?" Qu Yangbo thought for a while, "Okay, did he agree?"

"Well, the Huotuo Department has always been short of people, and I have worked with Gong Yingxian." Ren Yi sighed, "Try to get the result as soon as possible."

"It has not been determined whether it was an accident or arson. You have to cooperate with the police harmony party?"

"I will go to see it on behalf of the Huotuo Department, and Gong Yingxian will definitely follow."

"Why? The bar case is quite special, but fires occurred in the private houses in broad daylight, mostly accidents, and the police did not have the process of "harmonious police investigation and management."

Ren Yi paused and whispered: "Gong Yingxian is particularly persistent in fire-related cases, and he must have wanted to know if it was an accident as soon as possible."

"Standard?" Qu Yangbo frowned in confusion.

"Yes, persistence." Ren Yi understood Gong Yingxian's persistence, even if he was afraid of fire and disgusted with fire, he had to approach and challenge the persistence.

"Okay, don't worry about the squadron. With Gao Ge and I here, I will notify you if there is anything."

Ren Yi forced a smile: "Thank you, my good friend."

Qu Yangbo also smiled and said, "Get out quickly."

Ren Yi returned home at night and his father was already asleep. His father felt light and he tiptoed when he entered the door. Unexpectedly, the phone suddenly rang.

Ren Yi quickly pressed the call button, lowered his voice and said, "Hey?"

"Ren Yi, is it convenient to speak?" A nice male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Qi Xiao? Please wait." Ren Yi entered his room and closed the door before returning to his normal volume, "You said."

"I saw you on TV, that one in Wanyuan Community."

"Oh." Ren Yi said lightly, "I'm on TV."

"...Are you okay?"

Ren Yi was silent for a moment: "It's okay."

Qi Xiao said gently: "Hey, I was very worried about you when I saw that your friend Zhan Hexiong passed away, so you were not injured or something."

Ren Yi smiled lightly and said, "It's really not, don't worry."

"Have you had faked recently?" Qi Xiao asked, "Let's meet and miss you."

Ren Yi hesitated for a moment. Usually Qi Xiao made an appointment with him and he happened to be on vacation. There was no reason to refuse, but at this time he hesitated, but he still agreed: "Okay, I have something to do with you. After I finish dealing with it, I will go to find you."

"Waiting for you." Qi Xiao suddenly laughed softly, "The first time I saw you wearing a combat uniform, I looked very handsome."

Ren Yi smiled and said, "If you have time, you can come to the squadron to see me. We often wear it in training."

"Okay, I've always wanted to go and see it."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Yi fell on the bed, recalling everything that happened in Wanyuan Community yesterday in his mind. As sleepiness came, all the pictures gradually blurred, but Gong Yingxian's deep and quiet eyes became clear...

-----

Early the next morning, Ren Yi drove Ren Xiangrong to the small shop where the three of them used to go to for breakfast. Then the two went to the park again. Ren Xiangrong was sitting in a wheelchair, and the sun shone on his face, reflecting a quiet and peaceful smile.

While pushing Ren Xiangrong, Ren Xiangrong talked about the recent sacrifice of the Warharmonic Scholar. After hearing this, Ren Xiangrong said, "Old Chen is right. Maybe the collapse of the floor is really related to excessive water shooting. Maybe the squadron leader really did not predict the deformation of the steel structure in advance. Although the biggest mistake was not him, as a cadre, as a cadre, he had to bear as much responsibility as he had."

Ren Yi has been the squadron leader for less than two years. In his career as a firefighter, he only encountered the sacrifice of his fellow Zhan Hexiong friends around him once. It was a pain he would never want to recall in his life, but at that time he was not the commander, and it was not his turn to take responsibility. But this time, he couldn't help but think about it from the perspective of others. If he were Qian Yue, could he do better?

As cadres, they all have a bottom line principle, that is, they dare not go to places they dare not go, nor can they let Zhan Hexishi go. He brings people into dangerous places and even if they fight their lives, they will bring people out. But even if he works hard to make mistakes and strives to protect everyone, he may still encounter unbearable accidents. As soon as he thinks of Qian Yue's mood at this time, he will be depressed and breathless.

Ren Xiangrong patted Ren Yi's hand: "I know you are afraid, who is not afraid? Several of us went to Baosheng Chemical Factory together, but few of us came out alive. Who did you say you blame at that time? Can you blame the person who insisted on going back to get the bracelet? She lost her life herself, what's the point of blaming her?"

Let the nose be slightly sour, and he remained silent.

"A true war harmony man is afraid, but does not retreat." Ren Xiangrong said solemnly.

Ren Yi nodded bitterly: "Dad, I will never back down."

"Oh, I still feel uncomfortable when I think of Baosheng Chemical Factory." Ren Xiangrong smiled bitterly, "At that time, my superiors wanted to give me a first-class merit. It was rare to get a first-class merit alive, but I don't want to die. Oh, unless I die, I can accept it with peace of mind. Otherwise, why should I get the same merit as my sacrificed Zhanhehejie friends."

"The information about Baosheng Chemical Factory is not found online, so it was finally determined to be a production accident?"

"Yes. What should be sentenced is sentenced, what should be punished." Ren Xiangrong sighed, "That chairman also committed suicide for fear of crime, but what's the use? No one can come back."

Ren Yi wanted to ask more questions, but he was afraid that his father would be suspicious, so he said that it would be useless to ask. He had already made up his mind unless Gong Yingxian took the initiative to mention it, otherwise he would always pretend not to know.

The two of them walked around again and went home.

After lunch, Ren Yi handed his father over to the nanny and drove to Wanyuan Community. He and Gong Yingxian made an appointment to investigate the scene.

After arriving at the scene, someone arrived earlier than him. He was the assistant assigned by the Huotuo Department, Zhang Wen, who was also sent to him in the last bar case.

"Rely the captain." Zhang Wen was taking photos downstairs of the community.

"Xiao Zhang." Ren Yi nodded, "Here so early."

"Well, take some photos of the environment first." He looked like he had just graduated from college, wearing black-framed glasses, with a little long bangs, gentle and a little shy. He was thin and always looked wide and not very fit.

"Zhang Wen, the Huotuo Department is so short of people now. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and conduct independent investigations as soon as possible."

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "My team, I am a contract worker, different from you. It would be great if I could become a regular employee, otherwise, I might not have worked for a few years."

"Only if you do it well, you can become a regular person, right?" Ren Yi patted Zhang Wen on the shoulder. "If you need to go to the squadron to accumulate experience, I can arrange for you to come to my squadron for internship and do fire adjustments, which means you need to fully understand the fire scene, whether it is before or after the fire is put out."

"I do have this plan. Wait until I apply with the above. Thank you, Captain Ren." Zhang Wen hesitated for a moment, and then asked Ren Yi about the reincarnation.

Ren Yi didn't know much internal news, so he could only say whatever he wanted.

After chatting for a few minutes, Gong Yingxian arrived.

Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yi and said, "Are you better?"

Ren Yi smiled and said, "I'm fine. I should ask you this sentence. Didn't you vomit when you went back yesterday?"

“I’m trying to overcome it.”

"Then today..." Ren Yi pointed his thumb upstairs, "Or why I'll go up first and I'll notify you if you find anything."

"No, go up together." Gong Yingxian said without hesitation.

Ren Yi said helplessly: "Is it really OK? We have to climb more than twenty floors. You are tall and big. If there is any physical problem, I can't carry you."

"I don't need anyone to carry it." Gong Yingxian put on a mask and walked into the unit building first.

The elevator was naturally damaged, so Ren Yi needed to climb again, but this time he didn't carry a load, which made him much easier.

Gong Yingxian walked in front, with almost blushing and heartbeat. Only when he reached the last few levels could he see obvious gasps. Ren Yi was not willing to be outdone. Although he was tired for a long time, he pretended to be calm until he could not pretend.

Gong Yingxian looked back at Ren Yi and said sarcastically: "Do you need me to carry you?"
