At the moment of the explosion, two war sensitive men jumped out of the window on the second floor. The fire tongue mixed with explosive fragments chased and bit their backs. They rolled down to the ground with their heads in their arms and rolled out more than ten meters away.

The crowd ran over and slapped the sparks on them. One of them broke his leg and howled in pain.

"What about the others?" Xu Jin asked anxiously.

"Team Wang... Team Wang took people down the ladder over there."

At this time, Wang Meng and two war sensitive men carried an injured man out of the back of the building. They were blackened and embarrassed.

Everyone was relieved.

Gog's voice suddenly came: "the fire is burning, and the hot pot shop can't carry it."

Xu Jin gave the order: "set up water cannons in the east to stop the spread of the fire. The three squadrons each sent out two water cannons to attack from the west, South and north directions. Be sure to surround the fire."

"Yes!"

The bar has exploded. Whether there are survivors or not, they can't go in again.

When a building is on fire, it is often impossible to spray water directly to the building, because the first priority of fire fighting is to save people and control the fire. Controlling the fire is to control the spread of the fire and prevent increasing the fire area, which is like a table fire. If the table is not saved, use water to cool the stool first, otherwise the table and stool will not be saved.

When there are people in the building, rescue the trapped people first. You can use a small area of water to cool, open the way and cover, but you can't shoot water in a large area, because before the water potential can't suppress the fire, the fire site will produce hundreds of degrees of high-temperature steam, turning the fire site into a large steamer. It's difficult to survive in such an environment even wearing protective clothing, Moreover, excessive building fire will generally cause reinforcement deformation. At this time, water spraying, cold and heat shrinkage will aggravate the deformation, and the weight of water will also aggravate the floor load and increase the risk of collapse.

When the water cannon and water gun are fully opened, it actually means that the commander believes that there is no survivors inside, or even if there is, it can not be rescued.

The injured people and firefighters were picked up by ambulances one after another. A group of disheartened war sensitive men stood in front of the bar, silently watching the water column shoot into the fire, watching the water fire bite each other madly, the fire pressing the water potential and the water extinguishing power, struggling, pestering and fighting.

They don't know how many bodies will be found inside, nor whether anyone can miraculously survive.

The people who come to this bar tonight are to relax and celebrate. What they expect is joy. Who could have expected that this will become the end of some people and the nightmare of others for life.

Two hours later, the fire was put out.

Xu Jin spent more than ten minutes observing the outer wall and thought that there was no risk of collapse for the time being, so he let them enter the building with water guns to put out the residual fire, check the residual fire, and search and rescue the possible survivors and the remains of the victims.

At dawn, they found 27 bodies from the ruins and placed them on the ground in rows, waiting for the medical department to deal with them.

Most of them died of smoke poisoning and could still maintain a relatively complete body. Those who were charred, trampled and buried looked terrible.

The fourth perspective has burned almost only the frame, and the hot pot shop next to it has gone too far. Fortunately, it has been controlled. The burning smell diffused in the air blends into the cold air in the morning, like ink smearing a pool of clear water.

After fighting all night, Ren Yu returned to the squadron with tired war sensitive soldiers.

Along the way, no one spoke.

Although we don't know the cause of the fire for the time being, the bar has to take great responsibility for the accident. The locked life-saving channel, decorative materials with insufficient fire resistance rating and ineffective fire sprinkler are all major reasons for the fire out of control and personnel trapped.

After returning to the squadron, everyone changed their equipment, took a bath, and then had a collective rest.

After taking a bath, Ren Yu collapsed in bed and called the detachment to ask about the situation.

So far, 29 people have been killed, 12 seriously injured and more than 100 slightly injured. Each of their three squadrons has also been injured, including a war sensitive soldier of the luoxiangkou squadron.

After hanging up, Ren's mobile phone shows a news app push, which is the fourth perspective bar fire. He hesitated, but still didn't open it. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up in the afternoon, Ren Yu felt hungry. He took out a bag of potato chips from the cabinet and sent them to his mouth on his back, but he didn't remember. His mind was full of pictures of the fire, those fierce burning, those desperate and helpless faces, and those dead bodies that were no longer alive, lingered in front of him.

Even if he was used to accidents and casualties, it was difficult for him to accept such a tragedy for the time being.

Suddenly, Ren Yu's phone rang. It was Xu Jin.

Ren Yi adjusted his mood and connected the phone: "Shen Min has a long sense."

"Ren Yu, have you had a good rest?"

"I'm fine."

"How are your soldiers?"

"Two haven't come back from the hospital, but it's no big deal."

"That's good." Xu Jindun said, "this accident is very tragic. There is a lot of online public opinion, and the leaders also attach great importance to it. They require to find out the cause of the fire as soon as possible and investigate the responsible party."

Ren Yi gently "eh" said, "is there any progress in huodiao?".

"It is preliminarily judged that the fire point is the sofa of the box, but the damage on the scene is very serious. It is impossible to determine whether it is an accident or arson for the time being. Several responsible persons of the bar have been controlled, and the police sensitive party has also intervened."

"Before the fire tone came out, the police sensitive party intervened?"

"Yes, because the bar owner insisted that someone set fire, he was retaliated. But the survivors of the burning box said that smoking accidentally lit the curtains."

"The boss said it was arson?"

"He said the suspect had been taken away for investigation, but the other party had an alibi." Xu Jin said, "Ren Yi, I want you to participate in this fire tone."

"... why?"

"The fire control department of our detachment has always been understaffed. One has been retired and two have been on vacation this year. The social impact of the accident is too great, and the leaders require efficiency. Moreover, you sent out sensitive police for this rescue. You know the situation better than them. I hope you can fully cooperate with the sensitive police to find out the cause of the fire."

"Yes."

"When you arrive at the scene at nine tomorrow, the case handlers will also go. I'll send you an assistant from the fire control department."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Yi sighed.

He once practiced in the fire control department. He is not only familiar with the process, but also has the investigation ability of his father. Coupled with his fire fighting experience over the years, he is a mature Fire Investigator.

In fact, he never liked to go back to the scene, but he had no choice because his work had to highly cooperate with the fire investigation department and the police sensitive party. Just unexpectedly, he had to investigate this time.

------

The next morning, Ren Yi came to the bar street again, which had been blocked.

After presenting his certificate, Ren entered the blockade and came to the ruins of the fourth perspective. Looking at the ruins of the once prosperous bar, he was flustered.

Footsteps came from behind. Before Ren Yu looked back, he heard a familiar voice calling, "Captain Ren."

Ren Xuan turned around and saw Song Bei coming towards him. To his surprise, Gong Yingxian was walking with Song Bei.

Walking closer, Ren Yu shook hands with Song Bei.

"Captain Ren, it's hard." Song Bei sighed, "it's not easy for you."

"Yes." Ren Yu smiled bitterly, "it doesn't matter how hard we work. The most painful thing is that we can't save one more person."

Song Bei patted Ren Yu on the shoulder: "natural and man-made disasters, there's no way. Don't think too much."

Ren Yu nodded and glanced at Gong Yingxian.

Song Bei said, "Oh, Xiaogong is responsible for the preliminary investigation of this case. I asked Hongwu detachment to send a fire expert to cooperate with us in fire regulation. Unexpectedly, they sent you. What a coincidence."

Ren Xuan stared straight at Gong Yingxian.

Gong Yingxian also looked at Ren Yu without blinking, looking calm.

"What's the matter?" Song Bei looked at Ren Yu curiously.

"Well, Gong Jingmin's senses are so young..."

"Oh, are you worried about his inexperience? Don't worry, Xiaogong has specialized in fire disaster criminal investigation technology. No one in our branch is more professional than him in such special cases." Song Bei said, "Xiaogong, you should cooperate well with Ren captain."

Gong Yingxian nodded and said expressionless, "yes."

Song Bei pulled Ren Yu aside: "Captain Ren, this young man has a better character... Well, he doesn't target anyone. Don't take it to heart. Tell me if you have any problems. Please be more tolerant."

Ren Yupi looked at Gong Yingxian with a smile: "don't worry."

"Then you're busy. I'm on my way. If there's anything else, I'll go first."

"Goodbye, Captain song."

After Song Bei left, they stood on the side of the horse with big eyes and small eyes. The atmosphere at the scene was a little embarrassed.

Ren Yi coughed and thought that adults don't remember villains. All for work, he shook his head and said, "let's go in and have a look."

"Are you a fire expert?" Gong Yingxian said in a skeptical tone.

Ren Yu sneered: "I didn't question you. How dare you question me? When I was a few years old, I would recite the parameters of fire fighting equipment."

"You questioned me five minutes ago."

Ren Shuan said, "Oh, that's even. Let's go. Do I have to lay a red carpet for you?"

Gong Yingxian glanced at the ruins. His eyes darkened. He took out a mask and shoe cover from his briefcase. After being armed, he walked into the fire.

Qiu Wen of the fire control department had collected samples inside. He came over and said, "good captain Ren."

Ren Yu nodded: "you're busy. I'll call you if necessary."

"Yes."

Ren Ying Xian said to Gong, "go up and have a look."

Gong Yingxian looked around, his two sword eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and seemed to resist here very much.

Upstairs, they found the box on fire. The fire here is particularly thorough. Almost only the broken wooden frame is left on the sofa, the curtains are also burned, and the ceiling is completely off, exposing the blackened wall.

Ren Yu carefully observed the scene: "the smoke V mark is here. The fire point should be the sofa, but the survivor said that the curtain caught fire first. Suppose, the curtain caught fire first..." his eyes looked up, "When this kind of chemical fiber curtain burns, it will form molten droplets with fire. Mars splashes everywhere, splashing on sofas and carpets, causing combustion. Well, it's possible, but the spreading trace is wrong."

Gong Yingxian observed, "if the sofa filled with foam resin sponge is splashed by small sparks of molten droplets, it will only cause smoldering at first, there will be no open fire, and the fire will not spread so fast."

"Yes, if the curtains burn first, the fire goes up, the smoke spreads along the air outlet of the central air conditioner, the fire burns in the ceiling, and finally the ceiling falls, and then ignites the sofa, it is possible to burn the sofa like this, but in this way, the most serious trace of fire should be in the ceiling." Ren Yu shook his head, picked up a broken gypsum board from the ground, turned it over, and showed it to Gong Yingxian, "Sure enough, the smoke trace on the ground side is heavier than that on the upward side. Assuming that the fire point is the sofa, the fire ignites the curtains, causing a large area of combustion in the room, then ignites the ceiling, the smoke plume rises, forms a V-shaped smoke trace centered on the sofa, and finally the ceiling falls, which is in line with the logic of the scene."

Gong Yingxian said, "so it must not be the curtain that caught fire first?"

"No, like the preliminary judgment of the fire control department, it's a sofa." Ren Yi said, "what is the situation of survivors?"

"A 20-year-old student, still in the hospital, was frightened and had the possibility of confused memory. It is not sure whether she deliberately lied."

"No trace of combustion supporting agent was found." Ren Yi turned around, "I can't see that the sofa is burned like this now. I have to take some samples back to the laboratory for inspection."

"Circuit... There is no trace of circuit fire." Gong Yingxian looked at every inch of the scene. Under a pile of unrecognizable waste, he found a small piece of softened and cooled material. He carefully picked it up with his gloved hand and put it in the sun to watch.

"Glass?" Ren asked.

"Well, it could be a cup."

Ren Yu turned out a burnt cup from under the incomplete tea table: "this is the cup of the bar. Although I don't know what glass you are holding, it's obvious that the melting points of the two things are different, not the same material."

"It could also be plates, ashtrays or other utensils." Gong Yingxian said, "but this thing is a little away from the tea table. It was found under the sofa and has been broken. Now most tableware are fall proof, especially in places like bar KTV."

Ren Yu said, "it's a little suspicious. I'll give it to Xiao Qiu and send it to the laboratory together."

The two checked again and found nothing new. They went downstairs. Ren Zhuzheng told Qiu Wen what to sample. Gong Yingxian had quickly walked outside.

Ren Yu followed, "Hey, where's the glass?"

Gong Yingxian turned his back to him and slowly took off his mask, but he didn't respond.

Ren Xuan walked around him: "that..." he was stunned. Gong Yingxian's face was pale, his lips were almost bloodless, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he was breathing hard. His weak appearance was a little poor. He was startled, "are you okay? What's the matter?"

Gong Yingxian shook his head and gave him the glass. Then he shook his body. Ren Yu grabbed his arm: "what's the matter with you? You won't suffer from heatstroke. You said what masks and gloves you wear in summer."

Gong Yingxian turned his head and stared at him. He opened his mouth to say something, but he just gasped more and more urgently.

Ren Xuan frowned: "what are you staring at me for? You're really inexplicable. Why, I'm too handsome to see enough?"

Gong Yingxian suddenly felt a surge in his stomach and then vomited out.

Ren Yu's face was livid and felt humiliated.

Gong Yingxian grabbed Ren Yu's arm with his backhand. With great strength, he scratched the arm green. Ren Yu bared his teeth, endured the pain and didn't say a word.

Gong Yingxian stabilized his figure and said in a dumb voice, "water."

Ren Yu shouted, "Xiaoqiu, is there any water and paper in the car? Go and get some." He held Gong Yingxian to the shade. "Come on, sit down first."

Soon, Qiu Wen brought water and paper towels and looked at Ren Yu with questioning eyes. Ren Yu tilted his mouth, shook his head and looked unhappy.

"Here." Ren Yu handed things to Gong Yingxian.

Gong Yingxian rinsed his mouth with almost a whole bottle of mineral water, and then wiped the corners of his mouth and his trousers splashed with vomit with two bottles of mineral water.

Ren also wiped his shoes with a napkin. Then he watched the palace perform string tricks, and took out wipes, disinfectant spray, masks, gloves and medicine bottles from the briefcase. He watched him meticulously and repeatedly clean himself with carve artworks, finally took medicine, threw the shoe covers, and put on new masks and gloves.

Ren Yu felt tired for him just looking at him: "what's the matter with you?"

"I hate fire." Gong Yingxian stared at Ren Yu.

Ren Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "do you have any prejudice against me? I didn't take the name myself."

Gong Yingxian stood up and said, "follow me to the hospital."

"When is it your turn to command me?"

Gong Yingxian ignored him and went straight to his car. Ren Yi turned his eyes to the sky and reluctantly followed.
