The hospital is not a suitable place to talk. Bai Yan looked in the direction where Meng Hechuan left, and quietly followed Meng Shengkang and the others out.
The jeep that Meng Hechuan drove back was driven by Lu Jili.
When the car drove into the brigade, Bai Yan could still smell a faint smell of smoke in the air.
By the time we passed Building 12, the fire had been put out.
The security team and the Jingzhou fire department are checking one by one.
It should have been the joyous first day of the new year, but the entire team was immersed in a serious and tense atmosphere.
Lu Jili parked the car downstairs of the office building and considerately took off his coat and gave it to her before getting out of the car.
Only then did Bai Yan realize that what she was wearing was Meng Hechuan's burnt coat.
"Most of Hechuan's clothes were bought by Aunt Meng. You should change first."
...
...
Bai Yan did not refuse and thanked him in a low voice.
Lu Zhenhua was already waiting in the office on the second floor.
Meng Shengkang went in first, and the two men shook hands and sat down.
After learning that Meng Hechuan was fine, Lu Zhenhua felt relieved and went straight to the point, "Comrade Xiaobai is also at the scene, tell me about the situation."
Bai Yan recounted the details from the time the fire broke out to their escape, but ignored the fact that she and Meng Hechuan had confirmed their relationship.
I just mentioned that Meng Hechuan was sending me back to the dormitory, which led to the fire.
Mrs. Meng glanced at Bai Yan sideways and didn't ask any further questions.
"So Comrade Xiaobai, you didn't find out how the fire started?"
Bai Yan nodded.
At this time, Chen Xun knocked on the door and appeared, "Chief, the preliminary investigation results of the fire are out."
Lu Zhenhua asked him to come in and explain in detail.
"The fire started at 206. Traces of destroyed firecrackers were found at the scene. The fire department initially suspected that the firecrackers were set off outside and blew into the second floor, igniting by chance."
This reason for the fire makes sense, but it also doesn't make sense.
Fireworks are set off everywhere on New Year's Eve, and accidental fires often occur.
But the brigade is different from the private houses outside, and has always been strict in fire management.
In addition, today the brigade stipulated that each class and team must set off fireworks and firecrackers in the playground. Who dares to violate the regulations and light firecrackers in other places privately?
Lu Zhenhua tapped the seat with his finger, "Can you find out who passed by Building 12 at about the same time?"
Chen Xun shook his head. "Commander, this is not easy to check. I need more time."
"But..." Bai Yan, who had been silent since Chen Xun came in, suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at her.
Bai Yan pursed her lips and said, "Uncle Chief, but I didn't hear any firecrackers—"
Yes!
She was at the scene with Meng Hechuan when the fire broke out.
If the fire was caused by firecrackers accidentally exploding, they would definitely have heard the noise on the third floor.
She didn't hear the sound of firecrackers exploding, but the cause of the fire on the second floor was discovered to be the accidental explosion of firecrackers?
The logic doesn't make sense.
If it wasn't an accidental explosion, then were the firecracker debris that suddenly appeared on the second floor deliberately placed there to confuse people?
Everyone looked at each other, and Lu Zhenhua's expression became more serious.
If the fire was caused by team members setting off fireworks privately, then it is a safety hazard.
If the fire was set deliberately...
Who dares to do this in the team?
Lu Zhenhua was at a loss of thoughts for a moment. Chen Xun knew that Bai Yan was an insider at the scene and wanted to ask her for details.
But he was blocked by Lu Jili.
"Chen Xun, let Sister A Yan rest for a while. I will bring her to you in person tomorrow."
Seeing that Lu Zhenhua had no objection, Chen Xun also agreed.
Bai Yan left the small building and wanted to return to the hospital.
Lu Jili raised his chin towards the Meng couple who had just left, "Aunt Meng will not be worried about Achuan, she will definitely go to the hospital, I will take you back first..."
He paused, remembering that Building 12 had been burned down and Bai Yan had nowhere to go.
"I'll take you to Xu Huiyun's place to rest first. She has a duty room in the General Hospital. After Aunt Meng is out of the hospital in the afternoon, you can go see Ah Chuan."
Bai Yan didn't expect that the careless Lu Jili would be so reliable at this time.
Now she was in a state of great confusion and could only listen to him.
Just before parting, I beg you, "Captain Lu, please take me to the hospital this afternoon."
…
Lu Jili kept his promise to Bai Yan. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, he reappeared in the duty room.
At the same time, he brought good news, "Achuan woke up."
Bai Yan hurriedly followed him to the ward.
But when they arrived, he had fallen asleep again under the influence of the drugs.
Bai Yan asked the nurse, who said that he would probably wake up at night and should be able to eat something soupy or watery.
She also asked Lu Jili to take her back to Aunt Zhang and cooked a pot of bean porridge.
When we returned, it was already dark.
Bai Yan stood in the corridor and looked inside. The bed was low and she couldn't see the patient's face.
But he could clearly see the person standing at the head of his bed.
It’s An Qi.
She was holding a towel, and it looked like she was helping Meng Hechuan wipe it.
Lu Jili looked back at Bai Yan, thinking that she would not want to go in, "Sister Yan, Comrade An Qi is Aunt Meng's apprentice, she is not very familiar with Hechuan..."
But Bai Yan's reaction was beyond his expectations.
She carried the thermos and pushed open the door of the ward.
The sick Meng Hechuan was lying half-naked with his upper body exposed.
The view was obstructed and the person coming could not be seen.
But he asked very perceptively: "Bai Yan?"
Bai Yan didn't respond to him immediately, but nodded to An Qi first, "Comrade An Qi."
"Bai Yan...comrade, right?"
The two of them smiled at each other in a friendly manner, and An Qi put the towel away.
Bai Yan also placed the bean porridge on the table beside her with a thud.
Lu Jili felt an inexplicable chill on his neck.
His eyes swept around the ward, and then he chose to help Meng Hechuan, who was lying on his stomach, sit up.
"Thank you, Comrade An Qi. It would be more appropriate for me to let the nurse take care of my wound."
Meng Hechuan didn't know why he said this. As he said this, he slapped Lu Jili, signaling him to quickly bring the hospital gown hanging on the bedside and put it on him.
An Qi raised her lips and smiled, "Hechuan, the burn on your back is quite serious. It has just been bandaged. Don't take off your clothes easily."
She seemed to not care about Meng Hechuan's distant words, and turned to Lu Jili, "Captain Lu, don't you think so? I've known you for so long, and it's not like I haven't seen him without clothes before."
"An Qi." This time, the tone became much heavier.
She looked at her watch and said, "Since Captain Lu and Comrade Bai Yan are here to visit you, I will leave first. You should take good care of your injuries. Aunt Meng and I will be on duty tomorrow during the New Year."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Bai Yan took a step forward and said, "I'll take Comrade An Qi out."
