He had a few children to see off, so without thinking much, Xu Zhan started the car and drove out of the community.
"Sledgehammer, do you think that peaked cap just now looks like a bad guy?"
"A little bit. I apologized to him just now, but he ignored me. When I went down the stairs, I glanced at him secretly. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at me. That look... oh, it's scary to death."
Wang Dachui deliberately trembled as he spoke, looking particularly frightened.
"Actually, I'm also thinking about what you think that peaked cap is doing carrying a bucket of gasoline."
The chat between the two people caught Xu Zhan's attention. This peaked cap didn't look like a good person, and he was carrying a barrel of gasoline like this.
Xu Zhan was a little worried. After sending Wang Dachui and Fang Yang to the place, he parked the car on the side of the road and took out his mobile phone to call Turtle.
"Today, someone went to Qianqian's building and took a bucket of gasoline. Please help me check that person's background..."
"Brother Mo, don't worry, everything is under surveillance. This person shouldn't be able to do anything... But, hey, wait, brother Mo, what did you just say? Gasoline... is not good. What if this person burns down the house? That’s troublesome…”
"Hurry up and get someone over. I feel like something is wrong with this person..."
As soon as Xu Zhan finished speaking, Turtle secretly shouted, "No, Brother Mo, the brother who is monitoring over there has received news. It seems that the house where my daughter lives is on fire..."
"What? Hurry and get someone to put out the fire..."
Xu Zhan hung up the phone, started the car and ran towards the Linhang Street community as quickly as possible.
As soon as the car arrived at the gate of the community, I saw bursts of black smoke coming out of the window of the room where my daughter was. In the open space downstairs, a group of people were pointing around the stairs and screaming in confusion.
Some people with mobile phones kept calling the fire alarm number, and some elderly people didn't know that they dialed the fire alarm number instead of the police station's alarm number.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and thick smoke billowed from the balcony above the windows, making it impossible to see if anyone was inside.
Xu Zhan pulled a young man running down the stairs and asked, "What's going on? Is there anyone else up there?"
The young man replied in a panic: "The room that caught fire is upstairs in my house. There must be a gas leak, otherwise the fire wouldn't have been so big. The entire corridor was on fire and people in the room couldn't get out at all."
Soon there were bursts of crying and shouting for help from upstairs.
The house where my daughter was located was the floor where the fire was most serious. Although there was no fire on the floor above, the people above did not dare to come down because of the congestion in the stairs and the spread of the fire, and they missed the opportunity to escape.
"It was about to kill someone. It only took a few minutes, and suddenly it started to catch fire."
"Everyone, please help. There is water in the guard room. Please use basins to catch it. Go and put out the fire."
The old security guard in the guard room rushed up with a basin of water. Xu Zhan called Jiang Nian. It took a long time for the phone to ring.
"How about it, can you come to the window?"
Jiang Nian's coughing voice came from the phone, "No...cough cough, I can't see anything clearly, Qianqian...Mom is choking too much."
Xu Zhan raised his head and looked at the window. There was not even an air conditioner on the bare wall. It was obviously a bit difficult to climb up.
Xu Zhan rushed into the corridor, only to find that the corridor was filled with thick smoke, and the fire completely sealed the corridor. No wonder the people above could not get down.
If the fire started spontaneously or was caused by gas leakage, it would only start in the room and not even the corridor entrance. This was obviously someone's deliberate act.
The old security guard poured a basin of cold water into the corridor and found that the fire not only did not get smaller, but became more intense.
"No, this fire was caused by gasoline. You can't use anyone...a fire extinguisher...someone has a fire extinguisher at home."
It was originally an old community, not to mention a fire extinguisher, not even a lifeline.
Xu Zhan looked around. The crowd was getting bigger and bigger. Many people from the surrounding communities came running over. The more people came, the more chaotic the scene became. The key point was that no one could think of a solution. They were all arguing fiercely, waiting to put out the fire. The arrival of the fire truck.
Almost ten minutes had passed, and the fire truck that usually arrived long ago was nowhere to be seen this time.
Looking from downstairs, many people have gathered on the roof. Because the fire floor is relatively far away, except for the fire floor, people on other floors are temporarily safe. They only need to wait until the fire trucks arrive to put out the fire.
"The people on the third floor are going to die..."
"The fire is so big, I definitely can't escape. The main thing is that the stairs are also on fire. I heard from the old security guard that I smelled a smell of gasoline..."
"Gasoline...that's not someone deliberately setting a fire to kill people and silence them."
Xu Zhan couldn't hear this and rushed into the corridor. He covered his nose with his sleeves and jumped into the sea of fire.
The temperature instantly made him feel suffocated, but the fire was too strong. Not to mention him, even the fire alarm wearing a protective mask would not be able to stay for a minute.
In order to prevent him from inhaling too much carbon dioxide and falling into coma, Xu Zhan rushed to the fifth floor at running speed, ignoring the iron door that was red-hot from the fire, and reached for the door handle.
Unexpectedly, the door was locked. Xu Zhan took out the spare wire and put it into the lock, only to find that the keyhole was blocked and the lock was locked from the outside.
Xu Zhan leaned close to the door and shouted to Jiang Nian inside, telling Jiang Nian not to get close to the door. Because of the thick smoke and the crackling sound of the fire, there was no reply at all.
In less than a while, the people inside were not only choked to death but also killed by the thick smoke.
Without caring much, Xu Zhan raised his right foot and kicked the door. The security door, which had been burned and was about to loosen, was broken open by Xu Zhan's kick.
The door was kicked open and nothing could be seen inside.
"Jiang Nian...Qianqian..."
Xu Zhan rushed into the sea of fire. Fortunately, the fire at the door was fierce. Except for the thick smoke, the fire was slightly better inside the room. Xu Zhan screamed and touched at the same time.
There was no one in the hall or kitchen. Xu Zhan walked to Jiang Nian's bedroom. Because he couldn't see clearly, Xu Zhan judged the location of this room by feeling.
The door was closed tightly. Xu Zhan touched the door. The shaky wooden door that had been burned by the fire had almost turned into charcoal.
"Jiang Nian...Qianqian..."
Soon a faint sound came from inside.
"Uncle Pi...Uncle Pi, save me..."
"Xu Dapi..."
To avoid hurting the people inside, Xu Zhan didn't dare to knock on the door. He took a piece of wood, pried the door open, and pushed it aside.
There was no fire in the room, only thick smoke. Xu Zhan rushed in.
I saw my daughter, Jiang Nian, and godmother.
The godmother was already unconscious. Jiang Nian was hugging Qian Qian. He was almost crying and crying. When he saw Xu Dapi coming, he wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly fell to the ground because of inhaling too much smoke.
