Chapter 198 The Burned Person

Afterwards, Director Li chatted with several people, and was called away by others.

While the few people were talking, Zhao Hu could only wait anxiously beside him, sweating profusely. He didn't have a chance to speak until he saw Director Li leaving.

"Officer Zhang, Officer Meng, and Officer Lu, let's see what we can do!"

Zhang Dongxu glanced at the direction where the smoke was still rising, then turned his head and asked him, "Brother Zhao, can you tell me about the situation when the fire started and who first discovered it?"

After being asked such a question, Zhao Hu slowly calmed down and began to answer his question.

"The fire has been burning for an hour."

"I was still in the village committee when the fire started, and it was the villagers here who came to find me."

"When I came, there were people trying to put out the fire with buckets, but when they entered, the fire suddenly became very large. When they retreated, a villager was burned."

"When everyone got the people out and tried to put out the fire, it was already impossible. The fire was too big and we had to call the fire department."

Zhang Dongxu frowned, "Then what was the fire like when you came?"

"The villagers still wanted to use buckets to put out the fire, so the fire shouldn't be that big at the time, right?"

Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, staring at him without blinking for a while, then suddenly made a sound in doubt.

"No, when I came here, the fire hadn't started yet, and the big guys were still standing at the gate watching!"

When he said this, the three of them also discovered the problem.

Meng Yao frowned, "You mean, the fire started suddenly?"

"Yes, it just got bigger suddenly, and it felt hot even standing at the gate, so we retreated to the entrance of the alley." Zhao Hu nodded with certainty.

Lu Zhixing looked at the place where the fire started, "Then did you smell anything at that time?"

"Like gasoline, or alcohol."

As soon as these words came out, even Meng Yao and Zhang Dongxu were stunned, and then Qi Qi turned to look at Zhao Hu who was also in a daze.

Zhao Hu, who was asked, was stunned, and then began to recall seriously.

"At that time we were just busy trying to figure out how to put out the fire, and we didn't pay attention to what was wrong at all."

"When you ask now, I really remembered that when I and several villagers rescued the injured man, I smelled alcohol."

Looking at the three of them, he continued, "There were four or five people who went in together. When the burned man was carried out, I thought he had drunk at home, so I didn't take it seriously."

"Thinking about it now, the smell of alcohol on him seems a bit too strong."

After listening to him, the three thought of a possibility almost at the same time.

Zhang Dongxu hurriedly said, "What about the injured person now?"

Zhao Hu pointed to the ambulance not far ahead, "We sent him to the ambulance. His arm was burned seriously, and he was taken to the town hospital by another ambulance."

As soon as they heard that they were taken away, the three of them had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Meng Yao squinted her eyes and thought quickly, then looked at Zhang Dongxu, "Call Police Officer Liu immediately, and trouble him to go to the hospital."

"If the burned person is still there, let him look after him first."

"If not, then there is an explanation for this matter."

Zhao Hu couldn't understand what was wrong, but he only understood what Meng Yao said to ask the police to look at the injured.

"No, Officer Meng, what do you mean?"

"People were injured in fighting fires, not setting fires, so why should they be detained?"
