The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 175
In the early hours of the morning, Xu Guanwu was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms, when suddenly there was a rush of phone ringing, and it rang suddenly.In this silent night, it seemed extraordinarily harsh.

Xu Guanwu woke up from his sleep, was stunned for two seconds, and then grabbed the phone.

"Awu, what's the matter? Who's calling?" Zhao Yazhi was also awakened by the ringing of the phone, and asked while rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"What?! Okay, I'll be right there." Xu Guanwu only said a few words, then hung up the phone quickly, got up and got out of bed.

"Ah Wu, what happened? Are you going out so late?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

"The Royal City Cinema in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon is on fire, I have to go and have a look right away." Xu Guanwu said while putting on his clothes.

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help turning pale when she heard this, "It's on fire?! How could this happen? Was it set on fire by someone, or did it start by itself?"

"I don't know for the time being. I'll have to wait for the police to investigate." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said, "I'm going to take a look now. Stay at home obediently and don't think about it."

"Then Ah Wu, you must be careful, water and fire are merciless, don't let anything happen to you." Zhao Yazhi said with concern.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Okay, I'm going out now. You are at home alone, so be careful. If you are afraid, call and ask Yuan Qiu and the others to accompany you."

"I know, you should be careful too." Zhao Yazhi nodded.

……

Xu Guanwu put on his clothes and immediately ran to the street to take a taxi.

Although he owns a Mercedes-Benz, Xu Guanwu has never learned to drive because he is a little afraid of death and feels that his driving skills are still inferior to experienced drivers, and driving on the road by himself will be dangerous.

Standing on the street now, unable to wait for a taxi for a long time, Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.If I knew it earlier, I would have learned to drive, and now I don’t have to stand on the street waiting for the bus.

After a long time, Xu Guanwu finally got into a taxi and rushed to the scene of the fire in a hurry.

……

Two or 300 meters away from the scene of the fire, Xu Guanwu saw a red light in the distance, and several fire trucks were parked there with red lights on the roofs flashing, which made people very upset.

"Sir, there is a fire ahead, and the road has been sealed off. I think you have to get out of the car and walk to get there." The driver stopped the car and said.

Xu Guanwu hurriedly paid the fare, then got out of the car and rushed towards the scene of the fire.

"Sir, the fire is being fought ahead, it's very dangerous. You'd better go around." Seeing that Xu Guanwu was about to enter the scene, the policeman in charge of blocking the road hurriedly stopped him.

"I'm the owner of that building, I have to go in and have a look." Xu Guanwu said loudly.

"Are you the boss of that building?!" The policeman who blocked the road looked Xu Guanwu up and down, and his eyes couldn't help showing contempt, "Will the boss not have his own car, and he has to take a taxi to come here? "

"I'm really the boss here, you must let me in." Xu Guanwu said helplessly.

I didn't expect that I would be so despised by the police because I took a taxi back.

In Hong Kong, it is true that people should be respected first and then people!
"You don't need to pretend, I already guessed it. You are probably a reporter from some newspaper, and you want to sneak in and take a few photos. You are well-informed, and the police force has your informant?" The policeman sneered.

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Xu Guanwu was about to take out his ID card to show his identity.At this moment, I saw Ji Shan, the manager of the Palace Cinema, standing there sweating profusely, urging the police to put out the fire, and quickly shouted at him, "Manager Ji, I'm here!"

"Hey, what are you shouting for? The inside is busy putting out the fire." The policeman scolded, "Are you responsible for the delay in putting out the fire?"

Xu Guanwu was about to speak when Ji Shan, the manager of the Palace Cinema, heard someone calling him. He followed the sound and saw the big boss standing outside the cordon, and hurried over panting.

"Sir, this is our big boss, let him in." Jishan said.

"He's your boss, don't look at me joking." The policeman pointed at Xu Guanwu.

"Officer, this is not a joke. He is really our boss. Why am I lying to you?" Ji Shan listened to the policeman's tone, full of contempt. He obviously didn't believe Xu Guanwu, so he couldn't help defending Xu Guanwu loudly.

While arguing with the police, Ji Shan carefully observed Xu Guanwu's expression.Seeing the slight displeasure on his face, Ji Shan scolded him even more.

He figured it out in his heart, scolding the police would be fine at most, but it would save the face of the big boss and greatly increase his chances of promotion in the future.

"Forget it, since it's your boss, let's go in. But you still have to be careful, there is no mercy." The policeman saw that Jishan was talking louder and louder, spitting and tearing, as if he wanted to eat him, and couldn't help it. With some murmurs in his heart, he quickly made a way out.

Xu Guanwu nodded at the police, and strode into the fire scene.

Although they entered the fire fighting scene, they were still far away from the building.

Xu Guanwu watched the raging flames bursting out from the store, scorching the wall continuously, and its intense temperature could be felt from a long distance away.

"Boss, we can only stand here and watch. There is also a cordon set up by the police in front of us. We must not get close. Otherwise, our lives will be in danger." Jishan said loudly.

"Manager Ji, is the fire under control now? Are there any casualties?" Xu Guanwu asked with concern.

"When the fire started, the flames burned directly to the second floor, and it is now under control. There have been no casualties yet," Jishanhui reported.

"It doesn't matter if it burns to the second floor, just don't burn it to the third floor." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

The first and second floors are where the Palace Cinema is located, and the third and upper floors are the office buildings for rent.If the first and second floors were burned, at most Xu Guanwu would lose, but if the third floor was burned, it would be bad for the neighbors.

"Yeah, thanks to someone calling the police, the firetruck came in such a timely manner." Jishan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Someone called the police?! Where is that good citizen? I will definitely thank him later." Xu Guanwu said gratefully.

"I'll ask later." Ji Shan responded quickly.

Xu Guanwu nodded and stood there watching the police put out the fire.

After a while, Liang Shuyi, the manager of the theater, and Xu Guanwen, the boss of Xu's, also arrived one after another.

"How did it happen? Was it an accidental fire, or did someone set it on purpose?" The two asked worriedly after they arrived at the scene.

"I don't know yet, let's talk about it after the work is over." Xu Guanwu said to the two of them.

Both of them nodded, and stood there with Xu Guanwu, watching the police put out the fire one after another.

When the fire was completely extinguished, it was already daylight.

As soon as the police cordon was withdrawn, Xu Guanwu and his party immediately stepped forward, and saw that the newly renovated theater had been completely burned down to a broken tile kiln.

There are traces of being devoured by the flames everywhere. Those seats, decorations, top grades, screens, projection rooms, etc., were all burned by the flames, leaving only piles of molten rubbish soaked in two In the inch-deep sewage, it looked extremely dilapidated.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling a burst of heartache seeing his hard work being burned into this state.

These burned things are worth at least one million Hong Kong dollars, and they will have to be redecorated later, and the time to make money will be delayed, and they will not be able to operate for at least half a month.Calculated based on a daily income of [-] Hong Kong dollars, it is another loss of nearly one million Hong Kong dollars.

"Damn it!" Xu Guanwu couldn't bear a burst of heartache. He hurriedly found the police officer and asked, "Officer, is this accident caused by arson or other reasons?"

"Our team members smelled a very strong smell of gasoline at the fire scene, and initially suspected that someone deliberately set the fire. We will continue to investigate the detailed cause of the fire." The police officer replied.

"Strong gasoline smell?! Someone set fire on purpose?!" Xu Guanwu narrowed his eyes involuntarily when he heard what he said.

Who has such a big enmity with me, and even set fire to my theater? !Is it Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, or some unsustainable newspaper run by me?Or the Ma brothers, the drug lords? !
Xu Guanwu frowned into a big pimple, thought over all his enemies, and felt that everyone had the possibility of attacking.

"Boss, I have inquired. The person who called the fire alarm is nowhere to be found." Just as Xu Guanwu was trying to guess, Ji Shan ran over and said.

"Can't find it?!" Xu Guanwu's eyes widened suddenly, something strange!
