The atmosphere became more solemn than ever before. Zhang Chi did not leave. He came closer to the bloody handprint and smelled it. He was convinced that the red was not blood, but some kind of water-insoluble pigment. He whispered: "Maybe someone is playing a prank. Do you want to
Call the police?"
Huang Chunli opened the courtyard door, and everything was as usual inside. Zhang Chi did not leave, but also followed in.
Huang Chunli came to the door and saw that there was no sign that it had been opened. She felt relieved a little. She must have been paranoid. The fire in the market affected the surrounding merchants. Today, the police station was besieged.
Given the scene, we cannot rule out that the fingerprints outside are a prank. Maybe we should give ourselves a warning in this way.
Zhang Chi suggested calling the police immediately, but Huang Chunli shook her head and said, "Go back. You have to go to class tomorrow. Don't delay your studies. I have nothing to do here."
Zhang Chi felt relieved when he saw her expression relax. He warned, "Master, I'm next door. If anything happens, just call me."
Huang Chunli nodded: "Go!"
Zhang Chi left with an umbrella and came to the courtyard gate. He heard Huang Chunli say: "Boy, thank you!"
Zhang Chi turned around and gave her a sunny smile.
Huang Chunli closed the courtyard door and returned to her room. She sat alone in front of the solitary lamp and listened quietly to the dense night rain outside. A kind of loneliness and loneliness that was difficult to relieve came into her heart. She turned around and saw the mirror.
The self in the picture is pale and haggard. Once upon a time, did I suddenly become like this? I have become so that I don’t even recognize myself.
Huang Chunli opened her wallet and took out a photo from it. The photo showed a fair and fat child, more than one year old. Huang Chunli looked at the innocent smile on the child's face, her eye circles gradually turned red, and suddenly her nose became sore.
Two lines of tears flowed down.
Realizing that she was crying, she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face. Although she was the only one in the room, she could not cry, she must not cry.
Some things are destined to be faced. The final result of the fire investigation came out. According to the investigation team, the cause of the fire was Huang Chunli’s electric car parked in Tianzhu store. This is consistent with the results guessed by most people, so Huang Chunli has no
There is no doubt that they will bear the consequences of this fire.
The surrounding merchants who suffered losses due to the fire have listed the list of claims and the amount, and handed them over to the police station. Probably because what happened to the owner of the jade shop last night was a warning to everyone. Today, these merchants have become much more rational. Who knows?
They didn't dare to besiege Huang Chunli, let alone go to the police station to gather a crowd to cause trouble.
Zheng Qiushan was supposed to have a rest today, but because of Huang Chunli's matter, he specifically applied for overtime work. He hoped to do his part for Huang Chunli and work as businesslike as possible. There were many people among the merchants who added insult to injury. Some of them opened their mouths and asked for compensation.
The amount is astronomical.
The owner of the jade shop claimed 3.5 million yuan from Huang Chunli, and the wife of the mahogany shop was even more outrageous. She asked for 4.2 million yuan, plus the various claims from other merchants, the total amount added up.
It has exceeded 10 million, not including the loss of public assets on the market side.
Zheng Qiushan handed the compiled preliminary materials to Huang Chunli and reminded her: "You must be mentally prepared."
Huang Chunli smiled and said: "What are you prepared for? Everything has already happened. I can only accept the reality." She did not read the claim materials carefully, but turned directly to the last page, glanced at the total amount and said
: "One thousand one hundred, seven hundred and thirty-six thousand four hundred and thirty-two dollars, that's quite accurate!"
Zheng Qiushan said: "This is just a claim made unilaterally by those merchants. In the end, the relevant departments will send people to verify it. Unreasonable demands will certainly not be supported. Those parts that they can produce evidence should be dealt with in accordance with the law."
He glanced at Huang Chunli sympathetically and said, "Don't worry, the final compensation amount shouldn't be that much, but it won't be a small amount either. You! You don't have any sense of insurance."
Huang Chunli thinks that Zheng Qiushan's words are just an afterthought. At this time, what is the meaning of saying such words.
Zheng Qiushan analyzed this matter from an objective perspective and believed that the final settlement of the matter would have to go through the court, so Huang Chunli had to be prepared for a protracted war. Of course, it would be best to resolve it privately. After all, they are all merchants in the same market, and they all
It's a neighbor.
Zheng Qiushan has also talked with the market, and the market management will intervene to coordinate and strive to allow these merchants to produce true records of purchases and inventory, and also strive to make the entire process fair and impartial without favoring any party.
Huang Chunli may have become numb and has an indifferent attitude towards everything.
Zheng Qiushan suggested that she should communicate with these merchants privately. If she could gain understanding, it would be beneficial to the next step of handling the matter.
Huang Chunli said: "The fire was finally determined to be an electric vehicle fire?"
Zheng Qiushan nodded and said: "The fire started from the electric vehicle. We do not rule out the possibility of spontaneous combustion during charging."
Huang Chunli said: "I didn't charge it. I guarantee with my own personality that I definitely didn't charge the electric car."
Zheng Qiushan secretly thought that this point was no longer important. The investigation team had already determined that the fire was caused by the spontaneous combustion of the electric vehicle. For this reason alone, Huang Chunli must bear responsibility.
He reminded Huang Chunli in a friendly way: "We have also contacted the manufacturer of the electric vehicle, but the battery of your electric vehicle has expired." If the manufacturer is a responsible manufacturer, it may be able to help Huang Chunli bear the burden.
Some responsibilities, but the current situation seems very pessimistic.
Huang Chunli said: "I am fully aware of the situation. When the relevant investigation is completed, I will assume my due responsibilities."
Zheng Qiushan said: "I will follow up with the electric vehicle manufacturers to investigate, and I hope there will be a good result in the end."
After Huang Chunli left the police station, she came to the Dzi Bead Shop that had turned into rubble. Although there was still a cordon around it, there was already someone picking through the rubble. The lucky person had already picked up a few Dzi Beads in the rubble. Huang Chunli came from
Picking up half a brick from the ground, he rushed towards the man, threw the brick hard, and screamed at the top of his lungs: "Get out!"
The guy who took advantage of the situation was so frightened that he ran away.
Huang Chunli did not chase after her, and walked step by step into the ruins. She stood in the center of the ruins, looking at the shop that had become scorched earth, feeling confused. A Dzi bead on the ground shone in the ashes. Huang Chunli squatted down and picked up the Dzi bead.
After wiping off the floating dust on the Dzi bead, she suddenly realized that she had been living numbly all these years. What was the meaning of living? She didn't know, she didn't even have time to think about it.
The Tianzhu store is like a preset program in life, working from nine to five. Over the years, she has been mechanically running between home and the Tianzhu store. She has never thought about changing her lifestyle, no matter what she admits
Or not, the fire has changed her life.
Huang Chunli heard the sound of feet stepping on the rubble, raised her head, and saw Zhang Chi standing in front of her with a schoolbag on his back. She looked at the boy strangely: "Boy, you don't have to go to school?"
Zhang Chi said: "Free review in the afternoon."
Huang Chunli curled her lips: "Are you here to take advantage of someone else's misfortune, or are you here to take pleasure in others' misfortune?"
Zhang Chi laughed, seeing that Huang Chunli's mood was okay. He came to Huang Chunli and handed her a document bag.
Huang Chunli was stunned for a moment, but she took it and opened it and looked at it. There were seven stacks of hundred-yuan bills inside, a total of 70,000: "What do you mean?" Of course she knew what Zhangchi meant, and suddenly she felt her nose was a little sour. This little
