The fire brigade, the county armed forces department, and the forest armed police squadron stationed in Rongjiang County all rushed to the old neighborhood of Heihe Town.
As rescue efforts continued, the death toll was finally determined to be nine.
There is an old nursing home in the center of an old neighborhood in Rongjiang County. The nine people who were burned to death were all elderly people in the nursing home.
After receiving the news, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Zhengkang immediately called County Party Secretary He Jinbo and scolded He Jinbo.
Later, Yang Zhengkang called Chen Shaoping again.
"Chen Shaoping, what happened? Nine lives were taken out at once. How did you do your job?"
Yang Zhengkang was furious on the phone.
"Secretary Yang, I didn't do my job well..." Chen Shaoping walked out of the crowd as he spoke and arrived at a relatively secluded place.
"Secretary Yang, I have something important to report to you!" Chen Shaoping then gave an overview of the incident involving Li Xiaoming, director of the Heihe Town Power Supply Station, to Yang Zhengkang.
"Are you saying that the huge fire in the old neighborhood of Heihe Town was a man-made accident?" Yang Zhengkang's tone softened a little on the phone.
"I have no evidence at the moment, but if the cause of the huge fire is related to the power supply station..." Chen Shaoping did not continue.
"The theft of electricity by a power supply station and a mining company is not a big problem, but judging from the current reaction of the other party, there are still important clues about this Li Xiaoming... You must make this Sun Xiaoming speak at all costs!"
After Yang Zhengkang hung up the phone, he was still angry.
All the resentment in his heart came from He Jinbo, the county party secretary.
He even planned to use this fire to directly remove He Jinbo, the county party secretary, and support Chen Shaoping as county party secretary.
Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Zheng Qiyun knocked on the door and came in, "Secretary Yang, there was a huge fire in Rongjiang County, killing nine people!"
Zheng Qiyun said with astonishment on his face.
Yang Zhengkang's face was as dark as water, and he said coldly: "The main leaders of Rongjiang County have a major responsibility for this matter!"
Zheng Qiyun understood as soon as he heard that the main leader Yang Zhengkang was referring to was He Jinbo, the county party secretary.
"Should I go down in person?" Zheng Qiyun asked proactively, asking for instructions.
"Secretary Zheng, as soon as Chen Shaoping made a breakthrough, a huge fire broke out in Heihe Town. I'm afraid this is not a coincidence..."
Yang Zhengkang's expression was solemn, and Zheng Qiyun was taken aback, "These people...are they too bold?"
"Secretary Zheng, follow Chen Shaoping immediately, spare no effort to support Chen Shaoping, and report any situation as soon as possible!" Yang Zhengkang said solemnly.
Zheng Qiyun left the office of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Zhengkang and immediately called Chen Shaoping.
Chen Shaoping didn't hide anything from Zheng Qiyun, and told him everything about the arrest of Li Xiaoming, director of the Heihe Town Power Supply Station, and everything involved.
"Shaoping, the situation in Rongjiang County is complicated. Li Xiaoming is the key to breaking the situation. You must ensure this person's safety. I will leave immediately!"
Rescue activities are still going on in the old streets of Heihe Town. Ambulances are rushing past. In front of the ruins, County Party Committee Secretary He Jinbo is sweating profusely. At this moment, he is instructing Zhang Hongyuan, director of the County Party Committee Office, to deal with resettlement issues.
"Tents, we need tents, the more the better!"
He Jinbo said loudly, wiping his sweat while talking.
"Secretary He, in this case there is no need for tents. We will directly requisition a few hotels and arrange for people to live in them first..." Chen Shaoping said.
He Jinbo wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded immediately, and changed his words to Zhang Hongyuan: "Yes, yes, requisition a hotel, requisition a hotel..."
Heihe Town is a big mining town, and hotels in the town are very developed.
Soon, the cause of this huge fire was found: "The power supply lines in the old streets of Heihe Town were aging, causing a short circuit, which caused the fire..."
When Chen Shaoping heard the news, his expression immediately became solemn: Sure enough, it was related to the Heihe Town Power Supply Station.
When He Jinbo, secretary of the county party committee, heard this reason, he immediately cursed: "These bastards are murderers seeking wealth and murder!"
"Old Chen..." After He Jinbo cursed a few times, he whispered to the county magistrate Chen Shaoping who was standing aside: "Now that the reason has been found, we have to report to the municipal party committee and government. Secretary Yang, you can report... …”
Chen Shaoping knew that He Jinbo had just been scolded by Yang Zhengkang and did not dare to call the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Zhengkang again.
Chen Shaoping was about to report the latest situation to Yang Zhengkang, so he nodded, walked aside and dialed the number of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Zhengkang.
"Secretary Yang, the cause of the fire has been found. It was caused by the aging of the power supply line!" Chen Shaoping said with anger in his voice.
Yang Zhengkang gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, the fire they caused in Heihe Town was just a preparation, not the purpose. You should immediately explain the situation to Secretary Zheng and ask Secretary Zheng to personally intervene in the case of Li Xiaoming at the Heihe Town Power Supply Station!"
At the Rongjiang County Public Security Bureau, Zhang Sanchuan, Lao Gu, and Han Jingsun were staring almost intently at Li Xiaoming, who was being interrogated.
The people responsible for interrogating Li Xiaoming include Wang Yongsheng, the director of the Chengguan Town Police Station, Zhang Jun, a veteran policeman from the County Public Security Bureau... and several police officers whom Luo Wenqiang can trust.
Li Xiaoming still looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He just shook his head and said: "I'm dizzy, I can't remember clearly!" Or: "Nothing, you made a mistake..."
County Public Security Bureau Director Luo Wenqiang hurried back to the interrogation room after leaving for two hours.
"There was a fire in the old street of Rongjiang County. Nine people were burned to death. The cause of the fire was the aging power supply line. Li Xiaoming, we don't need to verify other crimes. This one alone can send you in..."
Luo Wenqiang slapped the table and said.
Li Xiaoming's face was full of doubts, but then he seemed to have understood something. He shook his head and said: "It is normal for the lines to age. We have professional people in charge. If there is a problem, it is not entirely my responsibility..."
The news brought by Luo Wenqiang actually let Li Xiaoming know that his "friends" outside were trying to save him.
As a result, Li Xiaoming became more and more confident.
Luo Wenqiang didn't bother to talk nonsense to Li Xiaoming, so he picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it on Li Xiaoming viciously.
Then he turned on the electric fan, pointed it at Li Xiaoming, and blew it hard.
"You are illegally extorting confessions. You are illegally extorting confessions. You know the law and break the law. The crime will be increased..." Li Xiaoming shouted loudly.
Luo Wenqiang picked up a book and put it on Li Xiaoming's back, and then hit Li Xiaoming's back hard through the book, just like hitting a sandbag...
"You don't have to tell me, I have all the means to deal with you. As long as you don't die, I will make your life worse than death!"
Luo Wenqiang said through gritted teeth.
