Chapter 371 How did the fire start?

"What's going on?" Boss Liu looked at his employees again after Zhao Yanan didn't get an answer.

"Just when the fire reached the shops on both sides, it suddenly rained and put out the fire." Boss Liu's employees didn't walk far at the time, so they saw the situation at the time.

"Rain? Where did the rain come from? There was always moonlight in the sky, how could it rain? And why did it only rain a little bit over there, why didn't it rain in my factory?" Boss Liu questioned, obviously, he didn't believe what his employees said.

"This...we don't know either." Those employees stuttered, they didn't understand what happened before.

At this time, Zhao Yanan was also asking her employees and got the same answer. Her thoughts were exactly the same as Boss Liu's. Without seeing it with her own eyes, she couldn't understand such a magical situation.

But so many people said so, and these people were not together, which means that this incredible thing really happened here just now.

"Maybe God really wants to punish that bastard." Zhao Yanan thought to himself.

This kind of "rain in some areas" situation has only been heard in weather forecasts before. It is rare to distinguish such a clear "rain in some areas".

More than two hours later, the fire in Boss Liu's lumber mill was basically extinguished. Part of the fire was put out by firefighters, and more of it was extinguished by itself after all the wood in the lumber mill was burned out and there was no combustible material.

Seeing that the fire was under control, Boss Liu didn't care about the sporadic small flames in the lumber mill and rushed in. However, what he saw was a mess, and there was not a single piece of good wood left.

What made him even more crazy was that despite such a big fire, the lumber mills on both sides of him were not hurt at all. It happened that rain fell at the junction of his lumber mill and the two neighboring lumber mills around him, extinguishing the flames that were rushing over, but his lumber mill in the middle did not have a drop of rain.

This weird and wonderful thing made him confused and crazy.

Is it really God punishing himself?

Boss Liu couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind. Otherwise, why was there no rain in his lumber mill?

However, Boss Liu soon abandoned such thoughts. He didn't believe in gods or ghosts, but only in himself. He thought it was all just a coincidence.

At the same time, he was also very curious about why his lumber mill suddenly caught fire. Why did he just communicate with the two people who set the fire at Zhao Yanan Furniture Factory at this time, and something happened here. Is this also a coincidence?

Boss Liu didn't believe it. He quickly found the firefighters and asked about the situation.

"We just conducted a preliminary investigation of the scene and found wine bottles and cigarette butts. These two things are likely to be the cause of the fire." The firefighter in charge said to Boss Liu.

"Wine bottles and cigarette butts? Could it be that someone deliberately set the fire?" Boss Liu said. He still felt that it was too coincidental that he suddenly caught fire here.

"We don't know much about this. Further investigation is needed." The firefighter in charge said.

At this time, Boss Liu suddenly saw that his employees were evasive and stepped back a few steps. Boss Liu immediately noticed this and asked, "Tell me, what's going on? Where did those bottles and cigarette butts come from?"

"Boss, we didn't drink in the factory. It's really not us who drank." Hearing Boss Liu's question, one of the employees was frightened and said quickly.

The other employees glared at him fiercely. You are not trying to cover up your mistake. How can the boss not be suspicious when you say that?

Sure enough, the shrewd Boss Liu immediately realized that something was wrong. He walked towards those employees and sniffed around them. Sure enough, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

"You bastards! I asked you to watch the storefront, who asked you to drink in the factory? And smoke? Don't you know that the factory is full of wood? Are you crazy? I have said many times before that drinking and smoking are not allowed in the factory. You don't take my words to heart, right? Ah?!" After smelling the smell of alcohol, Boss Liu immediately became furious.

He felt that he had figured it out. The reason why the timber factory caught fire this time was because these bastards were drinking and smoking in the factory. It was estimated that the cigarette butts were not completely extinguished, and they happened to light something. Then alcohol was spilled on it, and the flames burned more and more vigorously with the help of alcohol. Finally, the entire timber factory was burned.

In short, there were still human factors in the fire this time, but it was not Zhao Yanan who asked someone to do it as he thought, but the carelessness of his employees.

This made Boss Liu even more angry. He usually reminded them that fireworks were strictly prohibited here, but they were not only smoking here, but also drinking here, and they didn't take his words to heart at all.

"Boss, we are wronged. We drank in the factory, but we didn't light the fire."

"Yes, we just drank in the duty room and didn't come out. How could we light the wood outside."

Seeing that Boss Liu put the responsibility for the fire on them, those employees immediately shouted that they were wronged, and at the same time they regretted in their hearts why they happened to drink in the timber factory today.

"You bastards, you still don't admit it, right?" Boss Liu firmly believed in his guess and didn't believe these people's explanations at all: "I'll go check the surveillance. If I find out that it was you who set the lumber factory on fire, I'll kill you." Your skin!"

Boss Liu went to check the video, and Zhao Yanan followed him with the attitude of watching a show. At this time, Boss Liu was thinking about the fire in his furniture factory, and ignored Zhao Yanan.

The surveillance videos are all there, but the initial fire point happened to be in the blind spot of the surveillance. Therefore, Boss Liu did not see how the fire started here. However, through the video, he saw two employees leaving the duty room midway and going to To the toilet, more importantly, both employees had cigarettes in their hands!

"You two, please explain to me clearly, did you set the fire? Did someone ask you to do this?" Boss Liu looked at the two employees angrily.

Although he did not see the two men directly lighting the fire, based on the evidence at the scene and the smoke in their hands, he had concluded that the fire in his lumber factory must be related to these two men.

Maybe the fire was not an accident, but intentional!
