Chapter 1718 Fire
When we arrived at the train station.
The moment is in chaos.
The police, firefighters, and onlookers blocked the scene.
"Hurry up, don't be too slow..." Xiaolian was anxiously directing the waiter in the store, desperately splashing water.
My throat was already hoarse.
Strangely, more than a dozen fire trucks gathered at the scene.
But there were only two water guns squirting water.
It cannot stop the spread of the fire at all.
Chen Meng stood dozens of meters away and could feel the blazing temperature. The fire that soared into the sky and the burning smoke rushed straight into the sky, which was always dozens of meters high.
The scene was incredible.
The roars were endless.
After the initial panic, Chen Meng quickly calmed down. He took a quick look and did not see the wounded.
This way he feels much more at ease.
"Mr. Xia, you can't get over, it's too dangerous." The waiter stopped Xiaolian anxious.
"Get out of the way, the store is burned like this, and I have no shame to live."
Xiaolian was about to rush over with a basin of water.
The waiter couldn't stop him.
He put a big hand on Xiaolian's waist and dragged her back, "As for you, don't you even want your life?"
"Chen Meng, I..." Xiaolian saw clearly that it was Chen Meng, and tears came down.
"No need to say anything, you go and have a rest first."
Chen Meng signaled the waiter to support Xiaolian to rest.
Xiaolian's white clothes were so dirty that they were burned several holes.
Even his hair was burned by fire.
He is here.
Immediately, the waiters gathered over, talking nonsense, "Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen, what should I do now? It's too hot."
"The things in the store have not been rescued yet."
"Mr. Chen is here, everyone should work harder."
The waiters roared and rushed into the fire with basins of water.
Facing a flame that is more than ten meters high is like dropping a drop in the bucket.
Chen Meng was a little moved. At least the employees were not afraid of death, and Fang Ming regarded the store as his own home.
The fire is in a hurry.
Chen Meng quickly stopped everyone, "Stop it back and pay attention to safety. Leave the firefighting matter to the fire brigade."
"Mr. Chen, we can help."
"If professionals do professional things, the store is burned down. At worst, they will lose some money. If your personal safety is a little bit bad, how can I explain it to your parents."
Chen Meng is unquestionable.
The store manager took down all the waiters involved in extinguishing the fire.
"Are there any casualties?" Chen Meng had time to ask.
"Several customers were frightened and were injured when they ran away in panic and did not get burned." The manager replied.
"That's good."
Chen Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
The fire became increasingly big, and the entire lobster branch was all over the three floors and was all submerged in the sea of fire.
Fortunately, the shop was originally a market at the railway station and belonged to a single building.
It is several meters away from the surrounding buildings.
It was these few meters that prevented the fire from continuing to spread to the surrounding area.
However, the branch cannot be kept.
As long as there are no casualties, this loss will not hurt or itchy for Chen Meng today.
Just then.
Dad Laizi and Chen Xiaomei also arrived, "Mr. Chen, why did it suddenly get burned? This is a newly renovated store."
"Brother, what should I do now?" Chen Xiaomei was completely panicked. Her eldest brother's development has been smooth sailing.
This is the first time that such a big disaster has been encountered.
"Balaizi, you immediately go to the hospital on behalf of me to visit the injured and tell them that I will bear all the costs." Chen Meng ordered.
"I'll go now." Ba Laizi also knew that the matter was urgent and should not be neglected.
"Little sister, you are a woman, suitable for dealing with reporters...but keep your temper down and lower your posture."
Chen Meng pointed to the reporter at the scene.
There are already more than a dozen people who can see it.
Not to mention the people who are coming, public opinion is perfect in his hands, of course he knows how powerful it is.
If such a big thing happens, you must never escape it. You must bravely admit your mistakes.
Otherwise, it will definitely become the target of criticism.
You know, there are not only one or two people he offended, and there are even giants like the Cai family, Lin family, and Yang family.
Everything is arranged properly.
He just walked towards Xiaolian.
Seeing him coming, Xiaolian immediately stood up and said in a crying voice, "Chen Meng, I'm sorry, it's all my negligence that caused such a big deal."
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable, what's going on?" Chen Meng comforted her.
"I don't know what's going on. The fire suddenly caught in the utility room and could not be extinguished. The fire burned very quickly and spread to the hall in the blink of an eye. I called the police while evacuating the guests. Fortunately, it was during the day. If it was at night, something big would definitely happen." Xiaolian said with tears in her eyes.
She deserves to be unlucky. She just came back from another place and something big happened in a blink of an eye.
She was so ashamed that Chen Meng trusted her so much, but she caused such a big mess.
"Chen Meng, I'm really sorry, you punish me." Xiaolian said crying.
"I want to punish you, punish you in bed..." Chen Meng leaned over and said in a low voice.
Feeling Chen Meng deliberately teasing her and making her feel relieved, Xiaolian wished she could throw herself into his arms, but there were people around her, and it was not suitable. Xiaolian burst into tears and laughed, "In the public, what are you talking crazy? What can you hear me?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not an official."
Chen Meng smiled and asked Xiaolian without any reason.
But he noticed one thing that the fire spread very quickly and could not be extinguished.
The person in charge of the on-site command was the deputy director of the county public security bureau.
He was also an old acquaintance with Chen Meng, so Chen Meng walked over and asked, "Do you found any suspicious clues?"
"It's hard to say now. The fire is urgent. If you want to collect clues, you have to wait until the fire is put out before you talk about it." Director Bu said.
Chen Meng also knew that it was difficult to find out the cause now. It was the 1990s, and it was not before traveling through time. He could use various high-tech means to detect the cause of the fire.
In the 1990s, I basically relied on visiting witnesses and found suspicious clues.
He sighed, "Thank you for your hard work."
"We should do to protect the safety of people's lives and property. However, Mr. Chen suffered a great loss this time." Director Bu took Chen Meng's cigarette and said.
"As long as there are no casualties, it's fine to lose a little money."
Chen Meng waved his hand, "Oh, by the way, Buju, Xiaolian just said that the fire was very fast and could not be extinguished. I think this is a suspicious clue."
"You mean artificial? Someone puts gasoline or some other flammable substance?"
"It's very likely."
Chen Meng nodded, "The branch has been renovated for only three years, and the water and electricity were the latest technology at the beginning. They used good materials and could not age so quickly."
Um!!
Director Bu also nodded, "Don't worry, I will focus on investigating this clue."
Looking at the charred lobster shop in front of him, there was a fire in Chen Meng's eyes. The reason why he suspected that someone was deliberately setting fire was not without a reason.
There are too many enemies in recent years, so the one who is desperate to think of this kind of insidious trick.
