Investigation reasons (2)

"You don't want to eat?" Aunt Caihua asked the captain when she saw him getting off the kang.

"Don't eat, I'm full."

"Would you like to go inside and sleep for a while? You probably didn't sleep all night last night."

"I slept last night and the fire was under control in the second half of the night, so I leaned against a tree and slept for a few hours. Now I'm not sleepy at all."

"It's okay if you don't go into the house and go to sleep, but you have to take care of yourself. You are not the only captain in the village. If you have something to do, you can ask the other two captains to do it."

"I understand. Remember to keep your porridge warm in the pot. Baozhu and the others might have gone down the mountain."

"good."

The captain walked out of the house and immediately walked to the village office. With such a big thing happening last night, the people in the village were probably waiting for him at the village office early in the morning.

"Captain Liu, you're finally here. Please tell us what happened in the fire last night." Captain Wang immediately said to the captain when he saw him.

After hearing Captain Wang's words, the captain glanced at Captain Wang. Then he found a seat and sat down, and then said to everyone in the office: "I don't know what happened to the fire last night, because I also heard about it. Others said the mountain was burning, so I took people to the mountain to put out the fire."

"Who told you about Huoshaoshan last night?"

"Liu Ankang."

"Are you sure the person who told you that there was a fire in the back mountain was Liu Ankang?" Captain Wang asked the captain with wide eyes.

"Of course I'm sure. Liu Ankang came to my house last night and told me about Huoshaoshan. Even if I got it wrong, it's impossible for my whole family to get it wrong."

"It's not that I suspected that you saw the wrong person. I just didn't expect that it would be Liu Ankang who discovered Huoshaoshan. It's not that you don't know Liu Ankang's situation."

Everyone else in the office felt that what Captain Wang said made sense, because Liu Ankang had problems with both legs and it was difficult to walk in the village. How could he run so far into the mountains.

"I don't know why Liu Ankang ran so far into the mountains, because yesterday when I heard him talking about the fire burning the mountains, I immediately went to the village to summon people to go to the mountains to put out the fire. I didn't even think of asking Liu Ankang. Why did you go so far into the mountains?"

After hearing the captain's words, everyone in the office understood that judging from the situation at the time, the captain would not think that much. After all, no matter who heard that there was a fire, the first thing they thought of was to put out the fire.

"Let's go call Liu Ankang and ask him why he went so far into the mountains." Captain Zhang asked everyone in the office.

"I think it's okay. I'll send someone to call Liu Ankang now." Captain Wang quickly agreed after hearing Captain Zhang's words.

The captain nodded after hearing what Captain Zhang and Captain Wang said, agreeing with their approach.

More than half an hour later, when the captain saw Liu Ankang walking into the office, he moved a stool and handed it to Liu Ankang.

"Thank you." Liu Ankang said to the captain after taking the stool handed to him.

The captain smiled after hearing Liu Ankang's words, and then after Liu Ankang sat down, he asked Liu Ankang: "Liu Ankang, why did you run so far into the mountains yesterday? And why did you go there when it was dark? If you don’t go back to the village, why don’t you go back to the village until so late?”
