Chapter 294: To no avail
During the police investigation, Mr. Wen and I were anxiously waiting for the results. Fortunately, the firefighters told us that there were no casualties.
Suddenly, Mr. Wen's cell phone rang. When he answered the phone, his expression instantly turned ugly. After hanging up, he walked over to me and whispered, "It was the raw material supplier who called. They said that there was a problem with the raw materials they provided to us before, and there was a possibility of spontaneous combustion."
"How is it possible? Even though I said that, I still think it's not that simple. If there's something wrong with the raw materials, how could it just happen to catch fire when fans were visiting?"
President Wen remained silent. At the same time, Jiang Yichen found out and rushed over immediately.
After efforts, the fire has been brought under control, but the fire scene is in a mess. However, they have been searching for clues for a long time because the fire was so fierce that many items that could have been key evidence were either burned beyond recognition or completely destroyed. The police wore gloves and searched inch by inch among the ashes and debris, leaving no corner untouched.
When Jiang Yichen saw me, he immediately ran over. His heart was at ease when he saw me. He asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?" He kept checking whether I was injured with his hands.
"It's okay. It's just these raw materials. I don't know if the quantity is enough. It's like this at the beginning of our cooperation. I don't know how to deal with it in the future."
"As long as everyone is fine, it's fine. We can discuss cooperation later."
"But the fire certainly didn't come out of nowhere."
At this moment, I leaned in Jiang Yichen's arms and agreed with this statement. Although I felt a little tired, the most important thing now was to find out the reason.
Several hours passed quietly, but still nothing was achieved.
Mr. Wen and I watched from the side, our anxiety spreading like a wild vine, and our hearts gradually sank. At this time, a young policeman straightened up, his face full of fatigue and loss, and his voice was helpless: "Captain, I'm afraid it will be useless to keep looking like this. We haven't found any valuable clues so far. Maybe the important evidence no longer exists..."
The police captain frowned, his eyes revealing determination and persistence. He said in an unquestionable tone: "Look carefully, there must be something we overlooked. This is the key scene, and no place can be missed."
After hearing this, everyone could only cheer up and devote themselves to the intense search again. Just when everyone was a little discouraged, the young policeman's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted excitedly, his voice full of irrepressible excitement: "Captain! Come and see! There is a metal box here!"
The captain took a few steps forward, squatted down, stared at the box closely, and said in a deep voice: "Take it out carefully and see what's inside."
The young policeman carefully took out the box, but couldn't help frowning, looking embarrassed: "It's so hot! And the smell is very pungent!"
Other policemen gathered around and tried to open the box, but the box was severely deformed by the fire, and no matter how hard they tried, the box remained motionless.
The young policeman was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands moved more and more anxiously: "I can't open it! What should I do? If there are really important clues inside, it will be a waste of effort if I can't open it!"
An experienced policeman narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly in a steady tone: "Go find some tools and pry it open carefully. Don't damage any evidence that may be inside. This box may be the key to uncovering the truth!"
A police officer quickly turned around and fetched the tools. The old policeman took the tools and said with a focused and cautious look: "Come on, help me hold the box steady while I pry it open. Be careful!"
Everyone hurriedly did as they were told, and after some hard work, the metal box was finally opened.
The young policeman leaned over impatiently, his eyes full of anticipation: "Hurry and take a look, what's inside!"
They showed us these items, and Mr. Wen and I were stunned. These items turned out to be some chemical agents, and they were all banned from use in the factory! The investigation was at a standstill, and Mr. Wen and I were a little frustrated.
At this moment, Xu Sisi suddenly said, "Could it be that someone deliberately framed Xiao Liu? Let's take a closer look at the surveillance."
The previous surveillance footage showed that Xiao Liu specifically brought the chemicals to the factory, but when Xiao Liu was questioned he didn't know. It was obvious that he couldn't get these banned chemicals by himself. There must be someone helping him behind the scenes, or he was made a scapegoat.
We watched the surveillance again, and this time I noticed a detail.
At the edge of the surveillance screen, a car's license plate flashed by. I immediately told the police about this discovery.
The police found the owner of the car through the license plate information. To our surprise, the owner turned out to be Mr. Li, a middle-level manager of Wenzong Company.
It is understood that Lao Li has worked in the company for many years, but why did he do this?
"Damn it, this old Li originally said that he would retire soon because of his age."
Seeing more people pointing fingers at Lao Li, Mr. Wen said through gritted teeth.
"Now in this situation, where is Lao Li?"
As he spoke, he called Lao Li, but the voice on the other end of the phone indicated that it was turned off.
"Everyone, contact employee Lao Li immediately and notify all bureaus."
After saying that, the leading police captain made a phone call to inform the remaining police officers to continue checking the surveillance and capturing useful information.
At this moment, Old Li was preparing to escape back to his hometown.
Outside the station, Lao Li was wearing a brown top and brown pants.
"Don't move." The policeman strode forward and just happened to see Lao Li, who was about to run away. He immediately stopped all drivers from driving and directly controlled Lao Li.
"I, I, I didn't do anything! Did you catch the wrong person?" The police handcuffed Lao Li and tried to control him, taking him into the police car.
In the interrogation room, Lao Li lowered his head, clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
