Chapter 1599 Investigation Reasons (Part 2)
"Aren't you going to eat anymore?" Aunt Caihua asked the captain when she saw him getting off the kang.
"No, I'm full."
"Do you want to go into the house and get some sleep? You probably didn't sleep all night last night."
"I slept last night and the fire was under control in the second half of the night, so I slept against a tree for a few hours. Now I am not sleepy at all."
"It's okay if you don't go into the house to sleep, but you have to take care of yourself. You are not the only captain in the village. If you have anything to do, you can ask the other two captains to do it."
"I understand. Remember to keep the porridge warm in the pot. Baozhu and the others might come down the mountain at any time."
"good."
The captain walked towards the village office as soon as he left the house. Such a big incident happened last night, and the people in the village were probably waiting for him at the village office early in the morning.
"Captain Liu, you are finally here. Please tell us what happened with the fire last night." Captain Wang immediately said to the captain when he saw him.
After hearing what Captain Wang said, the captain looked at Captain Wang, then he found a seat and sat down before saying to everyone in the office, "I don't know what happened to the fire last night, because I heard from others that the mountain was on fire, so I took people to the mountain to put out the fire."
"Who told you about the fire on the mountain last night?"
"Liu Ankang."
"Are you sure the person who told you that there was a fire in the back mountain was Liu Ankang?" Captain Wang asked the captain with his eyes wide open.
"Of course I am sure. Liu Ankang came to my house last night and told me that the mountain was on fire. Even if I was wrong, it is impossible that my whole family was wrong."
"I'm not doubting that you've got the wrong person. I just didn't expect that it would be Liu Ankang who discovered the fire on the mountain. It's not like you don't know Liu Ankang's situation."
When other people in the office heard what Captain Wang said, they all felt that it made some sense, because Liu Ankang had problems with both of his legs and it was difficult for him to walk in the village. How could he run to such a far mountain?
"I don't know why Liu Ankang ran so far into the mountains. When I heard him say the mountain was on fire yesterday, I immediately went to the village to gather people to put out the fire. I never thought of asking Liu Ankang why he ran so far into the mountains."
After hearing the captain's words, everyone in the office understood that given the situation at the time, the captain really would not think so much. After all, no matter who heard that there was a fire, the first thing they thought of was to put out the fire.
"Let's go and call Liu Ankang to ask him why he ran to such a far mountain." Captain Zhang asked everyone in the office.
"I think it's okay. I'll send someone to call Liu Ankang over right now." Captain Wang quickly agreed after hearing Captain Zhang's words.
After hearing what Captain Zhang and Captain Wang said, the captain nodded, agreeing with their approach.
More than half an hour later, when the captain saw Liu Ankang walk into the office, he moved a stool and handed it to Liu Ankang.
"Thank you." Liu Ankang said to the captain after taking the stool handed to him by the captain.
The captain smiled after hearing what Liu Ankang said. After Liu Ankang sat down, he asked him, "Liu Ankang, why did you go so far into the mountains yesterday? And why didn't you return to the village when it got dark? Why did you return so late?"
