Chapter 421 Key Evidence (Happy Chinese New Year)

"Chief Xu, I am Lin Jianyang from the Municipal Fire Department. I am the leader of the fire accident investigation team. These two are my colleagues. We have some questions to ask you about the fire accident last night."

Lin Jianyang looks to be in his early forties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, his eyes are very sharp, and he has the power to penetrate people's hearts.

A total of three people from the investigation team came, two men and one woman, and a camera was set up at the scene, which made Xu Dong feel uncomfortable.

"Hello, Team Leader Lin. If you have any questions, just ask. I will fully cooperate."

Xu Dong assured with a smile.

After some polite remarks, the questioning officially began.

Lin Jianyang was responsible for asking questions. As for the other two people, the woman was responsible for taking notes. The man didn't know what he did. He kept writing in a small notebook.

"Chief Xu, first of all, please recall what happened in the fire accident last night and try to be as detailed as possible."

Xu Dong nodded and began to recall.

"We are employees of the security department of the municipal electric power company. Didn't the city hold a fire safety week? We wanted to take advantage of the National Day holiday to come to Zhiyi Factory to exchange and learn.

But we never expected that a sandstorm suddenly blew up at noon yesterday, so the inspection could only be postponed.

At seven o'clock in the evening, I thought that my vacation time was limited and I couldn't come here in vain, so I asked Director Liu if I could practice it myself.

It just so happened that Director Liu and his colleagues were also short of people, so the two of us hit it off and were assigned to work in the monitoring center. "

Lin Jianyang nodded, which was basically consistent with what they investigated, and motioned Xu Dong to continue.

"After arriving at the monitoring center, after being reminded by our colleague Xiang Xin, I found that the monitoring center actually turned off the smoke alarm system in the factory."

Lin Jianyang interrupted and asked: "Approximately when was it closed?"

"We discovered it at 11:30 in the evening. The alarm had not sounded for half an hour. I guess it was turned off at 11 o'clock, which happened to be the off-duty time."

"Okay, please continue!"

“When I found out about this, I thought about how such a big factory could just turn off the smoke alarms casually. It was so careless.

In the event of a fire, the weather was so dry and the wind was strong at night. This was okay, so I immediately went to the marine supervisor to verify. "

Xu Dong took a sip of water and then introduced:

“At first, the maritime supervisor strongly denied it, but after my questioning, he finally admitted it.

According to him, turning off the alarm was a last resort because there were too many false alarms due to the sandstorm and they couldn't handle it. "

"Did he say who gave the order?"

"No." Xu Dong shook his head.

Lin Jianyang made a continue gesture.

Xu Dong recalled again: "I tried to persuade Director Hai, but in the end I couldn't convince him. As a last resort, I had to get Director Liu's mobile phone number through Director Cao of our company."

Having said this, he paused again.

"Director Liu took this matter very seriously and immediately asked the monitoring center to restore the smoke alarm system, and also set up a special team to deal with false alarm incidents."

"Chief Xu, according to the information we have received, you tried your best to win the position of leader of the special task force. Can you tell us the reason?"

Xu Dong touched his head:

"Actually, there is no other reason. I am mainly worried about people like Xinhai and others.

You don't know the situation in the monitoring center at that time. Most of the employees were doing their job half-heartedly and didn't pay attention to their work at all.

Of course, it does not rule out that they are too tired, after all, they have worked for more than ten hours during the day. "

Anyway, he himself is not an employee of Zhiyi Factory, so he is not afraid of offending anyone at all.

"Since Liu Xuan has rejected your request, why don't you take the initiative to join the special task force?" Lin Jianyang continued to ask.

"Well, I didn't have much thought at the time. I just thought it would be good to have more strength."

Xu Dong sighed, and then focused on the details of the discovery of the fire and their rescue process.

To sum it up in one sentence:

They had tried their best and could have put out the fire in time, but the fire hydrant was not powerful.

"Chief Xu, we have one last question, why did you choose to go to the fertilizer storage area?"

"There are two reasons for this. One is that the west side is relatively remote and sparsely populated. Once a fire breaks out, there is no way to detect it in time. We have to go to the weakest place;

Second, the safety hazards in the fertilizer storage area are very high, and an accident would be catastrophic. After all, there are only a few of us, so we can only avoid the minor ones and the major ones. "

Lin Jianyang couldn't help but praise: "Chief Xu, your choice this time is really far-sighted."

"Thank you." Xu Dong said modestly.

That night, the investigation team gathered everyone's transcripts and began to sort out the entire process of this case.

"Team leader, there are basically no big discrepancies in everyone's records. There is only one conflicting point in the case, and that is Xu Dong himself. Did he deliberately set the fire?"

"I think it's impossible. Xu Dong had no time to commit the crime at all. He was with Gu Haiyuan and others the whole time. And it's too far-fetched to say that he set the fire because of a small quarrel."

Someone raised objections: "We cannot rule out the possibility of a gang committing the crime. After all, Xu Dong is the direct leader of Gu Haiyuan and others."

"Even if it is possible, the chance is very small. Arson is a felony, and one of the three subordinates is a war hero, so it is unlikely that he would do such an incident."

Everyone nodded.

A team member continued to analyze:

"According to the record of the user of the patrol car, the car suddenly ran out of power during the patrol. In order to save trouble, they secretly pushed the patrol car into the warehouse for charging.

This is the most direct cause of the fire accident.

In addition, we also investigated the production date of this patrol car and found that the car was actually five years old, and the battery had never been replaced. The safety hazard was originally very large."

Lin Jianyang knocked on the table: "Has the investigation report on Section Chief Xu Dong come out?"

As an experienced old investigator, he keenly noticed the other party's behavior, which was indeed intriguing.

"It's out."

"Are there any doubts?"

"Nothing has been found yet. According to the data analysis of the past two years, Xu Dong himself has a relatively mild personality, likes to help others, and is widely praised in the company.

And their family background is not ordinary. Let's put it this way. He is actually a rich second-generation, and there are five children in the family. It shouldn't be so extreme."

"Five children? Is there any inside story?"

"No, these five children are all his wife's biological children, one twin and one triplet, and he himself has not been rumored to have any scandals."

Lin Jianyang nodded and finally concluded:

"Urge the appraisal department and wait for the appraisal report to come out. I think no one can escape the punishment of the law in the face of ironclad evidence."
