Late at night, Ling Hongwei's cell phone rang. The moment he received the call, Ling Hongwei was shocked. There was an office on fire in the office building!
After asking which office the fire was in, Ling Hongwei was stunned for a moment. After hanging up the phone, Ling Hongwei rushed to the work without saying anything.
When I arrived at the unit, the fire fighters had already arrived, spraying high-pressure water cannons at the burning office. The fire gradually became smaller. The only good thing about this sudden fire was that it was discovered early and did not spread.
It only affected the two offices next door.
A total of three offices were on fire. The most serious one was the one that caught fire first. When the fire was under control, Ling Hongwei rushed forward immediately and kicked open the office door. Ling Hongwei stood there blankly. The entire office had already burned.
It was burned beyond recognition and nothing was complete.
"Ling Jian, all the financial information brought back from the county hospital have been burned." A staff member walked up to Ling Hongwei and reported in a low voice.
Ling Hongwei nodded expressionlessly. The entire office was burned like this. It's surprising that the data could be preserved. Moreover, the office where the data was stored was the one that was the most severely burned.
"Did the fire start in this room first?" Ling Hongwei asked the staff beside him with a gloomy look.
"Ling Jian, I just came here, so I'm not sure." The staff member shook his head.
"Ask the person on duty." Ling Hongwei said solemnly.
The staff member nodded and quickly left and returned, saying: "Ling Jian, the staff on duty said that the fire started in this room first."
Sure enough! A glint of light flashed in Ling Hongwei's eyes, which seemed to confirm some of his guesses. Ling Hongwei continued: "Immediately find out the cause of the fire, and also ask who was the last to leave this office."
After Ling Hongwei finished speaking, he waved over another staff member and ordered: "Take someone to the county hospital immediately. Their project engineering department already has a backup of the financial information. You can make a copy and go there immediately."
After explaining these two things, Ling Hongwei returned to his office. His office was upstairs, not on the floor where the fire broke out, so it was not affected.
Sitting on the chair, looking up at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost early in the morning. Ling Hongwei hesitated for a moment, but finally did not call Qiao Liang, fearing that it would affect Qiao Liang's rest. The fire had already occurred and was irreversible.
, I rushed to call Qiao Liang at this time, but it couldn't change the outcome. I just had to report to Qiao Liang tomorrow.
He took out a cigarette and lit it silently. Ling Hongwei's face turned ugly. There was a traitor! This was Ling Hongwei's judgment, and the traitor was someone he had trusted before, because he was the one who formed the temporary case handling team.
A few trustworthy subordinates were specially selected. They worked overtime until after ten o'clock tonight before going home. Only a few of them could enter the office where the financial information was sealed. Even he did not leave the office until after nine o'clock.
, I didn’t expect that less than two hours after I got home, I received a call that the office was on fire.
Ling Hongwei was thinking about something, and there was a knock on the door. Ling Hongwei frowned slightly and shouted to come in.
The person who walked in was Ling Hongwei's subordinate Ma Dongyuan, who was also one of the members of the case handling team selected by Ling Hongwei today. He was one of the few people who could be trusted by Ling Hongwei.
Seeing Ma Dongyuan, Ling Hongwei asked: "Xiao Ma, what's the matter?"
"Lingjian, I...I..." Ma Dongyuan stammered and couldn't speak.
"Xiao Ma, what's the matter with you? You can't even say a word." Ling Hongwei was already a little irritable because of the fire. Now seeing Ma Dongyuan's appearance, he became even more impatient.
"Ling Jian, the fire at night may have been caused by me." Ma Dongyuan lowered his head and did not dare to look into Ling Hongwei's eyes.
"Did you cause it?" Ling Hongwei's eyes widened and his face turned ugly, "What on earth is going on?"
"Ling Jian, I was the last one to leave the office at night. You also know that I am a big smoker. I smoked a cigarette before leaving at night, and finally threw the cigarette butts into the trash can. There were a lot of paper scraps in the trash can. I
Just now, I suddenly thought about whether my cigarette butt was not completely extinguished, causing the paper scraps to burn and causing the fire." Ma Dongyuan explained.
"You mean the fire was caused by your cigarette butt, right?" Ling Hongwei stared at Ma Dongyuan expressionlessly.
"I guess this may be the reason. After all, the weather is so dry now. If the cigarette butt is not extinguished, the probability of causing a fire is very high. Otherwise, the office was fine before I left. How could it suddenly catch fire?" Ma Dongyuan said.
Ling Hongwei was silent, glanced at Ma Dongyuan, and said nothing. He didn't know whether Ma Dongyuan was telling the truth, but even if the other party was telling the truth, could things be such a coincidence? An unextinguished cigarette butt caused a fire by such a coincidence
Already?
Seeing that Ling Hongwei remained silent, Ma Dongyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Ling Jian, I accept whatever punishment you want to give me."
"Now all this is your guess. It doesn't necessarily mean that the fire was actually caused by your cigarette butt. Even if it was, it was an accident. Why should I punish you?" Ling Hongwei waved his hand, "You go back first.
I have already asked people to investigate the cause of the fire. When the incident report comes out, the truth will naturally come out, so you don’t have to worry about it."
"Ling Jian, I'll go back first." Ma Dongyuan nodded and walked out cautiously.
Looking at Ma Dongyuan's back, Ling Hongwei had a complicated expression.
At this time, Ling Hongwei's cell phone rang. He checked the number and saw that it was the call he sent to the hospital. Ling Hongwei quickly picked up the call.
"Ling Jian, the hospital's project engineering department said they have no backup data." Ling Hongwei's staff reported.
"What about the computer?" Ling Hongwei asked anxiously.
"It was on the computer. They said they accidentally deleted it."
"Accidentally deleted?"
When Ling Hongwei heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he accidentally deleted it? How could such a coincidence happen? This may be the most ironic reason Ling Hongwei heard, but he just dared to say this
, obviously, the other party is not afraid of his suspicion, and even has a hint of provocation.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Hongwei said: "Turn on your computer and check. If not, come back."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Hongwei sat on the sofa with some dejection. The case had just begun and he was already in a dilemma where he could not continue the investigation. Ling Hongwei felt that he was unworthy of his trust in Qiao Liang.
Just when Ling Hongwei felt depressed, Ma Dongyuan did not go home after leaving the unit, but drove to the suburbs in a zigzag manner.
There was a black car parked on the side of the road. After Ma Dongyuan got out of his car, he got into the black car. In the driver's seat of the car, a middle-aged man was smoking. Seeing Ma Dongyuan get into the car, the man nodded.
If Ling Hongwei were here at this moment, he would definitely be surprised, because the man is his deputy, Li Jiangkun, the second in command in the unit.
"Did Ling Hongwei say anything?" Li Jiangkun asked Ma Dongyuan.
"He didn't say anything. I even asked for punishment. He didn't say anything. He just said that the results of the fire investigation hadn't been released yet, so he asked me not to be mentally burdened," Ma Dongyuan said.
"It seems he didn't doubt you?" Li Jiangkun said with a smile.
"Maybe there are suspicions, but even if the cigarette butt I threw, it can only be said to be an accident." Ma Dongyuan's expression darkened, "But after this, I'm afraid he won't believe me in the future."
"He doesn't believe in you, but I believe in you. If you follow me in the future, can I still make you suffer?" Li Jiangkun smiled, "I will be a leader in the future and promote you to a full-time position in an important middle-level department."
"Thank you, I will hit wherever you point me from now on." Ma Dongyuan expressed his loyalty.
Li Jiangkun smiled slightly, took out an envelope from the armrest box and handed it to Ma Dongyuan: "This is for you."
Ma Dongyuan was stunned for a moment. Looking at the bulging envelope, Ma Dongyuan thought that there should be 20,000 yuan in it. His heart felt a little moved, but he didn't dare to really reach out and take it.
"Don't be polite to me, we are our own people, don't you think so?" Li Jiangkun looked at Ma Dongyuan with a smile.
"Yes, we are our own people." Ma Dongyuan nodded hurriedly and reached out to take it.
"Okay, let's do this tonight. You should go back and rest early. Thank you for your hard work this time." Li Jiangkun patted Ma Dongyuan on the shoulder.
Li Jiangkun drove away, and Ma Dongyuan watched the other party's car disappear. The fastest update of the book, plot previews, and update and change notifications are all on the WeChat public account: Tianxia Yike 2. Ma Dongyuan weighed the money on hand, with a hint of joy on his lips, and turned around He got into his car, but instead of going home, he went straight to a mahjong parlor.
After a night of silence, Ling Hongwei came to the county compound early the next day. After learning that Qiao Liang had gone to the city and would not be able to return for a while, Ling Hongwei waited outside Qiao Liang's office.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Qiao Liang returned from the city and saw Ling Hongwei waiting outside the office door. Qiao Liang looked at him doubtfully: "Ling Jian, why are you here so early?"
"County Magistrate Qiao, there was a fire in our office building last night, and all the financial information brought back from the county hospital was burned." Ling Hongwei said with a bitter smile.
"Is it burned?" Qiao Liang was stunned and asked, "Does the county hospital have backup data? Didn't you hurry up and make a copy?"
"I sent someone overnight last night. The county hospital said there was no backup, and the data on the computer happened to be deleted." Ling Hongwei replied. "Deleted?" Qiao Liang was stunned, there was such a coincidence. thing?
As if he had guessed what Qiao Liang was thinking, Ling Hongwei said helplessly, "County Magistrate Qiao, this matter is
Such a coincidence."
Qiao Liang's eyes narrowed slightly. Even if he was a fool, he could instinctively feel that there was something fishy about this matter.
Turning to look at Ling Hongwei, Qiao Liang asked, "Has the cause of the fire been found out?"
"We are investigating. A report may be available within a day or two." Ling Hongwei looked sad and said.
He took the responsibility and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, I may be responsible for this matter because I was negligent.
Careless and lax in internal management.’”
Hearing Ling Hongwei's words, Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ling Hongwei, and then
