The fire in Wanyuan community was put out at more than 8 p.m.

When the body of Zhan hehe Shi Zhou Ying of the love bridge squadron was carried out, there was a depressing sob at the scene. The fingers and Zhan hehe who had just participated in the fire fighting were on both sides of the road, watching their comrades in arms with dirty faces and fatigue.

Chen Xiaofei, leader of Hongwu detachment, political harmony Committee and deputy leader of Hongwu detachment rushed to the scene.

Chen Xiaofei shouted solemnly, "salute -"

The commanders and fighters raised their right hands one after another, and nine fire engines sounded their horns at the same time, which made the night deeper.

Chen Xiaofei transferred another squadron to clean up the fire and let all those involved in fire fighting go back to rest.

Fire engines drove away one by one. Ren Yu didn't leave in a hurry, but walked to Chen Xiaofei: "Captain Chen."

Chen Xiaofei nodded: "it's hard."

Ren Yi looked into Chen Xiaofei's eyes and said, "Captain Chen, Xu Shen and captain Mou harmonic and captain Qian have no problem in commanding."

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

Ren Yu's eyes were dark and painful: "when they were searching and rescuing, an aunt insisted on going back to get her belongings. Regardless of dissuasion, she ran back to the fire. 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 Yu, I know you are worried about Qian Yue, but why the floor will collapse, whether the water is too much, and there is no uniform load. There are obvious signs to follow in the deformation process of the steel beam. Why the commander didn't notice, these are Qian Yue's' problems'."

Ren Yu bit his lips, and his heart was full of unwilling and grief and anger.

He knew that Chen Xiaofei was right. In case of human life, he must thoroughly analyze the causes and consequences. All commanders from bottom to top should be responsible, including Chen Xiaofei.

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

Chen Xiaofei saw Ren Yu's mind. He patted Ren Yu on the shoulder and sighed, "I know what you're thinking. No one wants such a thing to happen, but it happened. We need to clarify every responsibility to warn future generations and try to avoid such a thing."

Ren Yu nodded, "I understand."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Qian Yue. Go back and have a rest."

----

When Ren Yu returned to the squadron, he took a bath and fell asleep.

Due to such a temporary event, the martial arts competition of this year's detachment was cancelled. According to the results of the first day, the Phoenix squadron was still the first, but no one paid attention.

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.

Qu Yangbo convened a meeting after dinner to give psychological counseling to everyone, especially the two classes who participated in the rescue. They must be very depressed in a short time.

After the meeting, Qu Yangbo said to Ren Yu, "take two days off."

Ren Yi nodded: "I'm going to take a holiday, too. I just called Xu Shen and Mou harmonic. I want to participate in this fire tune."

"You asked to participate in the fire tune?" Qu Yangbo thought, "well, did he agree?"

"Well, the fire control department has been short of people, and I worked with Gong Yingxian." Ren Yi sighed, "try to get results as soon as possible."

"You haven't decided whether it was an accident or arson. You're going to cooperate with the police?"

"I'll go to see it on behalf of huodiao. Gong Yingxian must follow."

"Why? The bar case is special, but most of the houses on fire in broad daylight are accidents. It's not the process of police harmony and supervision."

Ren Yi paused and whispered, "Gong Yingxian is particularly persistent about fire cases, and this time he went to Wanyuan community with me, he must want to know whether it was an accident at the first time."

"Persistence?" Qu Yangbo frowned puzzled.

"Yes, persistence." Ren Yu understands Gong Yingxian's persistence. Even if he is afraid of fire and hates fire, he has to approach and challenge it.

"Well, don't worry about the squadron. I'll let you know if there's anything wrong with me and Gog."

Ren Yi reluctantly smiled: "thank you for your help."

Qu Yangbo also said with a smile, "go away."

Ren Yu came home in the evening. His father was asleep. His father felt light. He crept in the door. Unexpectedly, the phone suddenly rang.

Ren Yu hurriedly pressed the call button, lowered his voice and said, "hello?"

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

"Qi Xiao? Wait a minute." Ren entered his room, closed the door, and then returned to the normal volume, "you said."

"I saw you on TV, Wanyuan community."

"Oh." Ren Yi pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm still on TV."

"... are you okay?"

Ren Yu was silent for a moment: "it's all right."

Qi Xiao said gently, "Hey, I was worried about you when I saw your Youzhan harmony friend died. You didn't get hurt."

Ren Yu said with a light smile, "really not. Don't worry."

"Have you been on vacation lately?" Qi Xiao asked, "let's meet. I miss you."

Ren Yu hesitated for a moment. Usually Qi Xiao asked him about and he happened to have a holiday. There was really no reason to refuse. But at this time, he hesitated, but he agreed: "OK, I have something on hand. I'll go to you after I deal with it."

"Wait for you." Qi Xiao suddenly smiled, "I saw you wearing a combat suit for the first time. It's very handsome."

Ren Yu said with a smile, "you can come to the squadron to see me when you are free. We often wear them during training."

"Well, I've always wanted to see it."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Yu fell into bed and recalled everything that happened in Wanyuan community yesterday. With the attack of sleepiness, all the pictures gradually blurred. Only Gong Yingxian's deep and quiet eyes became clear

-----

Early the next morning, Ren Yu drove Ren Xiangrong to the small shop where the three of them used to go for breakfast. Then they went to the park. Ren Xiangrong sat in a wheelchair with the sun on his face, reflecting a quiet and serene smile.

While pushing Ren Xiangrong, Ren Xiangrong talked about the recent sacrifice of war harmony scholars. After hearing this, Ren Xiangrong said: "Lao Chen is right. Maybe the floor collapse is really related to excessive water shooting. Maybe the squadron leader really didn't predict the deformation of the steel structure in advance. Although the biggest fault is not him, as a cadre, he has much power and responsibility."

It was less than two years since Ren became a squadron leader. In his career as a firefighter, he only met the sacrifice of Zhan hehe's friends around him once. That was the pain he was unwilling to recall all his life, but at that time he was not a commander and it was not his turn to take responsibility. But this time, he couldn't help thinking in another position. If he was Qian Yue, could he do better?

When they are cadres, they all have a bottom line principle, that is, they can't let Zhan hehe go where they don't dare to go. He takes people into dangerous places and wants to bring them out after working hard. But even if he tries not to make mistakes and tries to protect everyone, he may still encounter irresistible accidents. As long as he thinks of Qian Yue's mood at this time, I was out of breath.

Ren Xiangrong patted Ren Yu's hand: "I know you're afraid. Who isn't afraid? We went to Baosheng chemical plant together in several classes, and few came out alive. Who did you blame at that time? Can you blame the man who had to go back to get the bracelet? She lost her life herself. What's the point of blaming her."

Ren Yu's nose was slightly sour and he was silent.

"The real warrior is afraid, but does not flinch." Ren Xiangrong said solemnly.

Ren Yu nodded bitterly: "Dad, I will never shrink back."

"Hey, I still feel bad when I think of Baosheng chemical plant." Ren Xiangrong said with a wry smile, "at that time, the leader wanted to give me first-class merit and take first-class merit alive. It was rare, but I didn't want to die. Oh, unless I died, I could accept it with peace of mind. Otherwise, why should I take the same merit as my sacrificed war harmony friends."

"The information of Baosheng chemical plant is not found on the Internet. Finally, it is determined to be a production accident?"

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

Ren Yu wanted to ask more questions, but he was afraid that his father would be suspicious. In addition, it was useless for him to ask. He had made up his mind that unless Gong Yingxian took the initiative to mention it, he always pretended not to know.

They strolled around again and went home.

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

After arriving at the scene, a man arrived earlier than him. It was Zhang Wen, his assistant sent by the fire control department. He was also sent to the bar case last time.

"Captain." Zhang Wen is taking photos downstairs.

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

"Well, take some pictures of the environment first." He just graduated from college, with black framed glasses, slightly longer bangs and a little shy. He is thin and his clothes always look broad and don't fit well.

"Zhang Wen, the fire control department is so short of people now. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and investigate independently as soon as possible."

Zhang Wen smiled: "Ren team, I'm a contract worker. Unlike you, it's good if I can become a regular. Otherwise, I may not be able to work for a few years."

"Only when you do well can you become a regular, right?" Ren Yu patted Zhang Wen on the shoulder, "if you need to go to the squadron to accumulate experience, I can arrange you to come to my squadron for practice. The purpose of fire regulation is to fully understand the fire scene, whether before or after fire fighting."

"I really have this plan. Wait for me to apply with the above. Thank you for being captain." Zhang Wen hesitated for a moment and asked Ren Ying about becoming a regular again.

Ren Yu doesn't know much internal information, so he can only say what he has.

After a few words, Gong Yingxian arrived.

Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu and said, "are you better?"

Ren Yu said with a smile, "I'm fine. I should ask you this. Didn't you throw up when you went back yesterday?"

"I'm trying to overcome it."

"Today..." Ren Yu pointed to the upstairs with his thumb. "Why don't I go up first and I'll let you know if I find anything."

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

Ren Yi said reluctantly, "really? We're going to climb more than 20 floors. You're tall and big. If there's anything wrong with your body, I can't carry you."

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

The elevator has been damaged naturally, so Ren Yu needs to climb again, but this time there is no load, which is much easier.

Gong Yingxian walked in front, his face hardly red and his heart didn't jump. Only in the last few floors did he see obvious asthma. Ren Yu was unwilling to show weakness. Although he was tired long ago, he pretended to be calm until he couldn't fit in at last.

Gong Yingxian looked back at Ren Yu and said ironically, "do you need me to carry you?"

Ren Yi picked his eyebrow: "yes, come on." He also opened his arms cooperatively.

"But I don't want to carry you." Gong Yingxian glanced at him and continued to walk up.

Ren Yu smiled and shook his head.

Compared with their good physical strength, Zhang Wen soon died. He also carried a huge toolbox, which were common instruments for fire inspection. When he panted to the 22nd floor, they had already found the fire point and studied it.

"This is the fire point." Ren Yu stands in front of a door on the west side of the 22nd floor. The number plate on the door panel has been changed, but according to the remaining figures on the left and right, this household is 2209.

In front of the door of 2209, there is a burnt shoe rack, several shoes, and some charred objects that are difficult to judge.

On the ground, there is an irregular trace, which is obviously different from other places. The ceramic tiles have changed color and bulged.

Ren Yi pointed to the ground: "judging only by the naked eye, this should be the trace of low-level combustion of combustible liquid. Now I think back, I should smell gasoline when fighting the fire."

Gong Yingxian narrowed his eyes: "gasoline arson?"

"At that time, gasoline didn't taste very good, and the fire site didn't show the characteristics of gasoline fire at all, so gasoline was just a combustion aid to ignite something." Ren Yu looked at the mess, "what's here? Shoes? It's impossible to burn like this."

Gong Yingxian squatted down and searched through the scorched sundries on the ground with his gloved hands. After a while, he picked up a melted and deformed metal can. He looked up at Ren Yu, "what will you pile in the corridor?"

"Er, shoe rack, umbrella rack..." Ren Yu thought hard.

Gong Yingxian said, "rubbish."
