The bureau chief sighed, “After the incident, it was discovered that there were traces of a fire over there. It was speculated that the fire was caused by the wind blowing on the sparks and burning the dry grass at the side. The autumn in province a was dry and there had not been any rain for more than a month. Every part of the mountain was filled with withered yellow grass. Once there were sparks, once it burned, it would burn in patches.”
“Since Chen Feitang and Chen Feibai are both in that area, why are you so sure that Chen Feibai did it? Is it because Chen Feibai was burned unconscious and Chen Feitang is fine?”Lu Xingzhi hit the important point directly, “Under normal circumstances, only the person who made this mistake would react immediately and have the time to escape from the fire. On the contrary, those who don’t know the reason would not have the time to escape, right?”
Lu Xingzhi’s retort shocked everyone. The bureau chief also had this kind of doubt in his heart. However, when he was about to investigate this matter, old master Chen said that this matter was Chen Feibai’s mistake. There was no need to continue investigating, due to old master Chen’s face, he could only give up. He only thought that Chen Feibai might have woken up midway, so he told him what happened.
“Company commander Lu is right.”Chen Shanhe immediately stood up. “Logically speaking, only the person who used fire would be the first to notice the fire and have the time to escape.”
“Enough! I’ve already said that it was Feibai who did it. What’s there to doubt? The mountain is covered in withered grass. With sparks flying everywhere, he wouldn’t even have the time to react before he was surrounded by a ball of fire!”Old Master Chen scolded Chen Shanhe in a low voice, then, he turned to Lu Xingzhi and the others and said, “All of you go back first. We don’t need you here for the time being.”
This meant that he wanted to drive them away.
“Then we’ll go first. If there’s anything, call the command center.”The chief glanced at the pale old man Chen, then gave Lu Xingzhi and the others a look before they left the hospital.
Because the chief still had urgent matters to attend to, he left in a hurry. Lu Xingzhi’s comrades, however, walked together with Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao.
“You guys go back first. I have something to discuss with company commander Lu.”Jin Mingdong, who had dragged Jiang Yao to mediate the fight, called out to his other comrades. Then, he gestured for Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao to go to the side to talk.
The three of them went to an empty corner. Jin Mingdong took something out of his pocket. Jiang Yao took a look and saw that it was a lighter. There was a number written on the lighter: 46.
“Chen Feibai’s code name is 46,”Jin Mingdong said, “I saw Chen Feibai take out this lighter from his bag before we set off. Before Chen Feibai set off, he reminded me that the climate here is dry and that we must not use fire in the mountains. “After Chen Feibai’s accident, I specially went back to the dormitory and found his lighter. So, company commander Lu, there must be some inside information about this matter. “…”
Before the mission, Jin Mingdong lived in the same dormitory as Chen Feibai. Therefore, he knew better than anyone whether this matter was Chen Feibai’s mistake.
“A person who will remind me that I can’t use fire in the mountains and even put the lighter in the dormitory, what conditions does he have to use fire? How many people would knowingly commit such a crime?”Jin Mingdong handed the No. 46 lighter to Lu Xingzhi, “Chen Feibai is from your Jin City Army, and he is also a soldier under your company commander Lu. It is best for Your Army and you to settle his matter.”
