Respectfully

The Lou family's car left Guanbei City, halfway there, they saw a puff of black smoke rising from the direction of the soap factory in the distance, and Li Jinyan's heart skipped a beat.Most of the land near the soap factory was bought by the Lou family, except for the soap factory and the staff dormitory under construction, there is not even a shack!Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out in his palms, and he repeatedly urged the driver to speed up.

The driver stepped on the accelerator tightly, and Marshal Lou pressed Li Jinyan's hand: "Don't panic."

The soap factory was getting closer and closer, and Li Jinyan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly when he entered the scene.

Half of the factory was engulfed in the fire. The workers in the factory were busy fighting the fire. Many people's clothes were burned through several big holes, and their hair and eyebrows were scorched.

Lu Huaide's face was full of smoke and dust, and the original color of his gown could no longer be seen, and his whole body was in a mess.Seeing Li Jinyan and Lou Xiao getting out of the car and coming over, he hurriedly said, "Young Marshal, Master Yan, why are you here? Quickly, stay away, it's dangerous here!"

As soon as the words fell, the roof on one side of the factory was suddenly burned and collapsed. Li Jinyan clearly remembered that it was a workshop for the production of handmade soap.

"Manager Lu, what's going on?"

With a bitter face, Lu Huaide slapped his thigh, "It's all because of my carelessness, and someone took advantage of me!"

Seeing this situation, Li Jinyan knew that he must not be able to explain clearly in a few words, so he stopped asking, in other words: "Have you notified the fire brigade?"

"Fire brigade?" Lu Huaide was taken aback for a moment.

Marshal Lou glanced at Li Jinyan and said, "Water Society. Have you sent someone to the Water Society?"

"Ah, let's go!" Lu Huaide hurriedly said: "But the location of our factory is a bit off, and we won't be able to make it in a while."

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, Li Jinyan gritted his teeth: "Manager Lu, tell everyone to withdraw, it doesn't matter if the factory burns out, safety is the most important thing!"

"Can……"

"Do as I say."

Li Jinyan saw that Manager Lu was hesitant, so he simply shouted loudly: "Don't put out the fire anymore, everyone get back!"

However, the fire scene was noisy, and the workers who were closer could hear it, while those who were further away were still busy carrying water and putting out the fire.Especially those soldiers who had just retired from the army, almost rushed into the fire.

He yelled again, but still not many people heard him, Li Jinyan raised his leg and was about to charge forward, but Lou Xiao grabbed his arm.

"Young commander?"

Marshal Lou grabbed Li Jinyan with one hand, raised his gun with the other, and fired a shot into the air.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, everyone's movements stopped, and Li Jinyan took the opportunity to shout: "Everyone back down, safety is the most important thing!"

At this moment, the members of the water club who received the notification finally arrived.

By the time the fire was extinguished, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. The fire had scorched the ground black, and there was still a pungent smell in the air.

Li Jinyan asked Lu Huaide to take out 20 yuan of ocean, thanked him and sent everyone in the water meeting away.

Half of the factory burned down and had to stop working.Together with Manager Lu, Li Jinyan gave two ocean rewards to each worker who participated in the fire fighting, and told them that they would be hired to work again when the factory opened.While distributing money, counting the number of people at the same time, after the money was distributed, it was also confirmed that no workers were killed in the fire.

Most of the workers were just scorched by sparks, with holes burned through their clothes.However, several soldiers were burnt and could not speak, and their throats were probably smothered by the smoke.Li Jinyan frowned. If the burn is not treated well, it is likely to cause infection. Once infected, it can kill people.The sulfonamide produced by Qiao Leshan is limited, and it is currently only available for independent groups.Li Jinyan looked at Young Marshal Lou, who didn't say much, and called Adjutant Ji directly.

As a result, Adjutant Ji took these soldiers back to the camp of the independent regiment, and arranged for military doctors to examine and treat them.

After sending Brother Bing away, Li Jinyan asked Lu Huaide what was going on.

"Master Yan, someone set the fire on purpose!"

Lu Huaide took a sip of water, his throat was no longer sore, and he immediately told everything he knew.

It turned out that the fire started from the warehouse where the glycerin was stored. There was a clear ban on fire in the factory, except for the independently built kitchen behind the factory building, including the soap-making workshop.Lu Huaide specially arranged for two warehouse managers to guard the warehouse, fearing that one of them would desert and cause problems.Who knows, this afternoon, one of the warehouse managers ate something bad, and the other warehouse manager was hit by a sap. If someone hadn't smelled the smoke, noticed something was wrong, and ran to take a look, he might have been burned to death It's inside!

Even if it was discovered in time, the fire still didn't stop and burned down half of the factory.

The more he listened, the more Li Jinyan frowned. The defense of the soap factory cannot be said to be watertight, but it is also a high-walled iron gate. There are more than 20 veterans and guards inside, who can sneak into the soap factory quietly. He beat someone with a sap and set a fire on him, who the hell is this?

If it wasn't for outsiders who sneaked in, could it be done by our own people?

"Master Yan, I didn't say when I was counting the number of people just now, a newly hired cook from the soap factory has disappeared."

"what?"

"He was not burned to death." Lu Huaide said: "When the people from the Water Club checked the fire scene, I followed. I counted the number of people just now. Only this cook, no one was alive, no dead body."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." Lu Huaide rubbed his face vigorously, "He did this in all likelihood."

"Where is his home?" Young Marshal Lou asked suddenly.

Lu Huaide was stunned for a moment, "He was introduced by the shopkeeper of Hefeng Building in the city, and he lives in the alley next to Hefeng Building. I only use him because of the guarantee from the shopkeeper, but who knows..."

Young Marshal Lou immediately asked the guards to take Lu Huaide to find someone. If he couldn't find him, he directly detained the shopkeeper Hefenglou who introduced the cook.

"If it was really him who did it, he will definitely not be able to catch anyone." Li Jinyan looked at the messy factory in front of him. Apart from blaming the black hand behind the scenes, he could only blame himself for being careless. The road ahead went so smoothly. Yes, a little complacent, and too careless.

If he can take precautions in advance, half of the factory will not be burned down.This is the early years of the Republic of China, not the 21st century, and he takes some things for granted...

There was a wry smile on Li Jinyan's face. Anyone who was fighting with high spirits and was about to flex his muscles would not feel too good if he was splashed with cold water.

"Leave this to me." Young Marshal Lou grabbed Li Jinyan's shoulders and held him in his arms: "Whoever did it must pay the price!"

With a grunt, Li Jinyan let himself lean on Lou Xiao's shoulder, telling himself, just for a while, just for a while, he needs someone to rely on.

As Li Jinyan expected, Lu Huaide returned without success, and the shopkeeper of Hefenglou brought him, but he kept saying that the cook was a distant relative of his, who came to visit relatives in Guanbei City because of the famine last year.

"Young commander, I'm telling the truth! I really don't know where Zhuzi is! The man Zhuzi has always been honest, he really doesn't look like such a bold person! You know what kind of guy he is, beat me to death They will not take him in! They will not introduce him to Manager Lu to work!" The shopkeeper of Hefenglou has lived in Guanbei City since his father's generation. Not bad, not like a liar.He probably really didn't know where this person went.

All doubts point to this cook named Zhuzi, but he disappeared out of thin air.

There was a big fire in the soap factory, and the newspaper saw it the next day. Marshal Lou was furious and ordered the police chief to search and arrest the whole process with the portrait of the pillar.There was no news for several days, and it was not until the fourth day that someone came to report that a person whose height, appearance and pillars were somewhat similar was found on a random grave outside the city.

The chief of police took people to have a look, and then found the shopkeeper of Hefenglou to identify it. It was really the pillar that suddenly disappeared!It's just that when he was stabbed in the chest, he was already out of breath.There is still 100 yuan in the package on the back.

Things are in trouble again.

In fact, no matter who bought and ordered Zhuzi to do this, no matter whether it is the Lou family father and son or Li Jinyan, they can roughly guess in their hearts.Last year, a glass factory outside Guanbei City was brought down by the same method.Unfortunately, there is no evidence!Zhuzi died again, even if he checked again, he couldn't find anything.

In the end, this arson case can only be done hastily.

After the initial anger, Li Jinyan's mood gradually calmed down.Anger is useless.No matter how angry, the factory burned down.Everything can only start from scratch.

However, it doesn't matter.

Li Jinyan told himself that if the factory burned down, he would build it again, and if the things were gone, he would do it again!He learns his wisdom from a fall, and when he knows how despicable and cruel his opponent is, he will never let himself make the same mistake again.

During the period when the Loujia soap factory shut down, a large number of Japanese soaps appeared in Guanbei City. Uncle Dumb collected all the lists of Japanese factories and foreign firms that produced and sold these soaps. Li Jinyan got the list and looked at it one by one. Write down all the names on it, there will always be a day when the accounts will be settled!

At the same time, a similar list was placed in front of Marshal Lou.He looked at his son with a frosty expression, and patted his bald head: "I know, you must be anxious to vent your anger on your wife, but this matter, you can't rush it, you'll have to kill the rabbit! Understand?"

"Yes!"

"I've arranged for Pan Guangxing, Pan Zhenwu under your command, and Pan Zhenxue from the Transportation Bureau," Marshal Lou said with a sinister tone, "For his two sons, he has to do his best."

Young Marshal Lou didn't speak, but pursed his lips tightly, and a sternness flashed in his black eyes.
