Chapter 408: A pot of kerosene is missing
"Lao Ding, how did you determine that the fire was caused by the aging of the circuit?"
"If you look at the burn marks, you can see that the wires are obviously burning more severely than in other places, and if nothing else, the fire started burning here. ”
Wang Dongsheng sighed, "So that's the case, listening to what you said, I realized that I am worthy of being a battalion commander and a criminal investigator, and I have much more experience than me." ”
Wang Dongsheng was secretly anxious as he spoke: If it is really determined that the fire is caused by the aging of the circuit, then there is no way to say that Ding Zexiang will join our team, but I have no relevant experience, so I can't see the abnormality at all, how can this be good?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Kewang, who was standing behind him, said casually: "This fire has actually blackened the walls of the house, and it looks similar to when our family used to light kerosene lamps." ”
Li Kewang just said this casually, but it was like a thunderclap in Wang Dongsheng's ears, he hurriedly stood up and leaned over to the wall to take a closer look.
Seeing this, Li Kewang couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Lao Wang, have you found anything?"
Wang Dongsheng's face flashed with surprise. Since everyone else had already left, Wang Dongsheng didn't have any worries, and said directly to the two: "If nothing else, this fire should have been deliberately created by someone!"
Ding Zexiang was immediately stunned and looked at Wang Dongsheng with curiosity and doubt.
Wang Dongsheng pointed to the surrounding walls and explained: "Look at the traces on the walls, does it look like it has been smoked by a kerosene lamp? This is the office of our finance department, I can guarantee that there is definitely no kerosene stored here, if the tables, chairs and benches are burning, there will not be so much black smoke at all, even if the burned wires are added, it is impossible to smoke the walls like this, the only explanation is that someone has poured kerosene here, and kerosene can produce so much black smoke when it is burning!"
Ding Zexiang worked in the police station for a few months before he was transferred to Factory 311, and he still has some criminal investigation knowledge.
Hearing this, he hurried to the wall, stretched out his finger and wiped it on the black smoke, then rubbed the cigarette ash a few times with his index finger and thumb, and put it in front of his nose to smell it carefully. Kerosene is not so fully burned when burned, and the ash after burning will leave some clues.
Ding Zexiang's face couldn't help but change greatly when he smelled it: "Damn! There is indeed a smell of kerosene in the soot! Who did this?"
Wang Dongsheng hurriedly came to him and said in a low voice: "I am the person in charge of the financial department, and I can tell you very clearly that this office is specially used to store the account books, Lao Ding, you think about it carefully, who in our factory wants to burn the account books the most?"
Ding Zexiang didn't take much effort to think of someone, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ceiling in disbelief: "Old Wang, are you suspicious of him?"
Wang Dongsheng nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm just suspicious of him! You are also an old man in our factory, you should know all the he has done over the years, right? I guess he wants to destroy the evidence!"
Ding Zexiang's personality is relatively straightforward, not as bright as Wang Dongsheng, he hesitated: "After so many years of peace, why does he want to destroy the evidence at this time?"
Wang Dongsheng patiently explained: "You should have heard the news that Fang Dongping wants to contract our factory, right? If Fang Dongping really comes to contract, our factory will definitely carry out asset liquidation, and when the time comes, as long as you check a little, you can immediately find the problem, that guy must have chosen this time to eliminate hidden dangers!"
Ding Zexiang suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes! It must be like this! Fuck, this dog thing is really hateful, he set the fire himself, but he wants to put all the responsibility on our security department, Lao Tzu is not finished with him!"
Ding Zexiang wanted to chase him out and reason with Chen Tianhou while he was talking, but Wang Dongsheng immediately grabbed him: "Don't worry, at present, we are just speculating, there is no tangible evidence, as long as people don't admit it, you have nothing to do with him, in my opinion, the most important thing for us is to find evidence, so that we can have the confidence to turn against him." ”
Li Kewang also persuaded on the side. Ding Zexiang held back the anger in his heart and nodded angrily: "Okay, I'll hold my breath first, and then go to have a showdown with Chen Tianhou after I find evidence!"
is worthy of being a criminal investigator, Ding Zexiang soon took the two to the warehouse where kerosene was stored in the factory.
Since the factory has not been in production for a long time, the contents of the warehouse have long been covered with a layer of dust. The three of them soon discovered a very new seal on the ground, and judging by the outline of the seal, there should have been a kerosene pot in this place not long ago.
In order to determine whether there was really a pot of kerosene missing from the warehouse, Li Kewang personally went to the warehouseman and asked the family to check the number of kerosene pots immediately.
The warehouse manager saw that the leaders of the three different departments were all present, so he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly finished the count, and reported: "Three leaders, there is indeed a pot of kerosene missing in the warehouse, but I didn't take it." ”
She thought that the three of them were catching thieves, so she hurriedly cleared up the relationship.
Ding Zexiang nodded slightly: "We know that you didn't take it, we just need you to be a witness for us, you shouldn't disagree, right?"
The administrator hurriedly shook his head: "Of course I won't disagree, as long as you explain, I will keep the truth." ”
Ding Zexiang snorted: "You go back first, remember, don't mention this matter to anyone, so as not to spoil a big thing, and we will go to you when necessary." ”
"Okay, I'll go home and stay there, and promise not to tell anyone. ”
After the Administrator left, the three of them put it together and finally decided to look around and see if they could find any clues.
All three of them felt that the person who set the fire should not be running around with a kerosene can, because kerosene has a strong smell and can be easily smelled by others, which will arouse suspicion among others.
At first, the three of them searched around the warehouse, then the office building where the finance department was located, and then it expanded to the courtyard wall of the factory area.
As the scope continues to expand, the original expectations of the three people have gradually worn out. Just when they found nothing and were about to go home, Ding Zexiang's brother-in-law suddenly appeared.
He had been fired by Chen Tianhou on the spot, and in a depressed mood, he squatted outside the courtyard wall and smoked a cigarette, thinking about how to explain to his wife and children when he returned home.
After hearing the conversation between the three, Ding Zexiang's brother-in-law rekindled his hope and felt that he had to do his best. After all, it's about your job, if you really lose your job, how will you support your family in the future?
