Chapter 228 The truth about the fire

Shen Jingshu quickly grabbed Shen Sangyu and said, "Someone has already gone. Don't go. It's too dangerous."

Shen Sangyu was relieved and followed Shen Jingshu and others downstairs without any hesitation.

However, just after going downstairs, a senior brother hurried over. Shen Sangyu saw that the senior brother's hands were missing a lot of things, and asked quickly, "Are you only bringing out these experimental data?"

The senior brother looked sad and said, "I see that the fire is about to burn over. I only rescued these. I didn't have time to save a lot of data from the first stage of the experiment."

Shen Sangyu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

The first stage is that the experimental data is not only the result of the hard work of the past six months, but also involves a lot of financial issues. If the experiment is repeated, it will consume materials and labor.

The most important thing is that the fire this time was too strange.

The wires in the laboratory are checked every year, and the new circuit was replaced only last year. It is impossible for a sudden fire to occur.

So Shen Sangyu suspected that it was man-made, and was even more afraid that someone would steal data while setting the fire.

But at this time, the senior brother said: "The things are still at the fire scene. I took a look at them all before I left, but time is tight, so I can only take these things out."

Shen Sangyu calmed down at this time. Research data is indeed important, but more importantly, human life. She would not rush in to save things in such a big fire.

Now the fire has basically covered the entire experimental building. All the experimental personnel tried their best to carry the materials out at the risk of their lives.

Looking at the building that was about to be burned down, everyone's eyes were wet.

The fire brigade rushed to the scene as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the fire started in the middle of the floor and the fire was quickly controlled, but even so, most of the floor was burned down.

Gu Linzhang's legs were weak when he rushed over.

Looking at the charred and bare walls, Gu Linzhang took a step back and finally stabilized his body.

He tried to calm himself down: "What's the situation now? All the data of magnetic suspension is gone?"

Shen Jingshu pointed to the data rescued by the brothers: "Half of it was rescued, but some of the data has not been taken out."

Gu Linzhang was relieved: "That's good, as long as the people are fine, it's not easy to rescue half of it..."

Just as he said this, the police also rushed over.

After all, it is a first-class key research institute. Most of the laboratory was suddenly burned down, and the police had to come to investigate the cause of the fire.

After the fire was extinguished, everyone was called to the hall to take notes one by one. After they finished, the sky was already bright.

Gu Qingchuan and Mrs. Gu didn't know where they got the news from, and they hurried over.

Seeing that Shen Sangyu was fine, Mrs. Gu almost cried.

"I heard that the institute caught fire, and I was scared to death." Mrs. Gu complained, "How could there be a fire the first time I lived in the dormitory?"

Shen Sangyu was stunned, and suddenly called Xiao Mo next to him.

Xiao Mo was the main eyewitness, and he was the first to discover the fire.

Xiao Mo was originally standing guard in the corridor, because he found that there seemed to be crackling sounds in the laboratory building, so he walked to the end of the corridor to take a look, and saw the laboratory on fire.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo saw it, otherwise everyone would have rested at this time, and it is estimated that everyone would not react until the crackling stopped.

"Xiao Mo, did you see any suspicious people between the floors when the fire started?"

Xiao Mo had already taken notes, and his thinking was very active now.

He said, "No, it was just a research institute that caught fire suddenly."

Shen Sangyu frowned, thinking, could it really be an accident?

"Who is the person in charge here?"

Just as he was thinking, a group of policemen in army green suddenly walked into the hall.

Gu Linzhang seemed to have aged ten years in just a few hours. Hearing this, he stood up quickly and said, "I am."

The police recognized Gu Linzhang at a glance, and their tone and eyes were much more respectful.

"The laboratory was indeed set on fire."

"What!"

As soon as the police finished speaking, everyone looked over in disbelief: "What do you mean by arson?"

The police did not answer directly, but said: "We have seen the burned circuits, but the fire was not caused by the wires, but by the curtains. The curtains were burned the longest and were the most complete after being burned. This can prove that the curtains were the first to burn, and... In the record just now, we found that a comrade did not have an alibi."

Gu Linzhang's heart tightened: "Who?"

The police took out a record report and called out: "Miao Chunsheng."

As soon as the police finished speaking, many people looked back.

Until their eyes looked at a tall and thin man.

Shen Sangyu took a look and had some impression of the man in front of him.

"Miao Chunsheng, you said you were in the dormitory when the incident happened, but your life assistant said that he didn't see you at the time of the incident."

Miao Chunsheng's face suddenly changed, and he looked a little nervous: "I, I went to the toilet, is it okay?"

The police looked at Miao Chunsheng deeply. Miao Chunsheng's expression was very wrong. He didn't believe it if there was no ghost.

"You said you went to the toilet?" The police asked back.

Miao Chunsheng nodded and explained: "There is no toilet in my room, so I need to go to the public toilet. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and my life assistant came to find me. This should make sense, right?"

The police nodded: "If this is the case, it does make sense, but... during the fire, several comrades saw you running over in a hurry. You can't say you were going to put out the fire. If you were going to put out the fire, you should have rescued some data, but where is the data?"

Miao Chunsheng's face turned pale in an instant, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

Gu Linzhang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Miao Chunsheng, it's really you!"

Miao Chunsheng shook his head subconsciously: "I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean it."

Gu Linzhang was heartbroken: "You didn't mean to? Then why did the laboratory catch fire?"

"I..."

"Tell me!" Gu Linzhang's voice suddenly became much harsher.

"I... I really didn't mean to do it."

Miao Chunsheng's face turned blue, obviously he was terribly frightened: "I didn't expect it to be so serious. I just collected a cigarette in the laboratory. I originally wanted to throw the butt into the flowerbed downstairs, but who knew I didn't throw it out, but I really didn't expect it to catch fire. I did go to the toilet in the middle, but when I came back again, the whole building had been burned down."

Gu Linzhang was furious after hearing this and questioned: "The institute stipulates that smoking is not allowed. Why did you smoke? Do you know how many confidential documents the entire institute has!"

Miao Chunsheng certainly knew, otherwise he would not have dared to admit it at the first time.

He is not yet 30 years old and has a bright future. If he is accused now, his life will be over.

"I don't want to either!" Miao Chunsheng said excitedly: "I don't want to go to jail."

"Since you don't want to go to jail, you should know the consequences of smoking. Even if you didn't do it on purpose, you have to pay the price for this responsibility."

Gu Linzhang turned around decisively: "Comrade police, you can take the person away."
