The Richest Man Yang Fei

"I remember what happened that day very clearly. Ten years have passed, but it still seems like it happened yesterday." An's father recalled the police dispatch that day with a serious face and a low tone.

"When we arrived, the fire officers and soldiers had already extinguished the fire. There was a pungent and disgusting smell everywhere in the house."

"The first floor is the old man's bedroom, and the mother sleeps with her two children on the second floor. The fire started on the first floor. It happened in the middle of the night and the old man was still sleeping. When we arrived, we reasoned based on the scene , the two old men just lay on the bed, first choked by the smoke, and then burned alive."

"The situation on the second floor was even more tragic. The windows upstairs were all equipped with solid wood window bars. People could not jump out and were trapped by the fire. The mother hugged the two children and protected them in her arms. They hid on the balcony, but there was no To escape the fate of being consumed by fire.”

Yang Fei was horrified by what he heard and asked: "Logically speaking, there is always a process from the occurrence of a fire to the time it gets bigger. The old man is on the first floor. He moves slowly and can't escape. How can it be that the flames jumped to the second floor so quickly?" Don’t the people on the second floor even have a chance to escape to the top floor?”

Dad An said: "The top floors of old-fashioned residential buildings are not bungalows, but tile-roofed houses. We asked nearby residents, and when they went out to see, the building was full of fire. Neighbors were busy isolating I don’t have time to put out the fire in his own house. In fact, with such a big fire, unless a professional firefighter is there, it will be a drop in the bucket and it will be useless.”

Yang Fei said: "What's the cause of the fire? Has it been found out?"

"Checked it," Dad An said, "Fire accident caused by aging circuits."

Yang Fei said: "It's incredible. Normally, casualties in such a fire accident can definitely be avoided."

Dad An said: "We also thought it was too weird at the time. Why was the whole family burned? The forensic doctor conducted an autopsy and determined that all five members of the family died in the fire, ruling out the cause of homicide. In fact, the number of casualties in the fire was actually It’s very big, thousands of people die in fires every year in our country, and more than 70,000 people die in fires every year in the world.”

Yang Fei was silent.

Father An said: "When faced with a real fire, people are most likely to panic, wake up from their sleep, and feel at a loss. Faced with disasters, we are not as strong as we imagined. Therefore, the usual fire escape drills seem useless. , but it is very necessary.”

Yang Fei asked: "There is no evidence to show that the fire was man-made?"

Dad An said: "Based on the technical level of criminal investigation at that time, we can only conclude that the circuit was aging and caught fire. The law of fire shows that it is impossible for combustible materials to burn out all the objects at the same time. Fire always starts at a certain point. to another point, thereby forming the fire's spreading direction and burning traces, and the starting point of this spreading direction is the fire point."

Yang Fei nodded in agreement.

He grew up in a police family, and he often heard this basic principle of determining the origin of a fire.

Because the fire burns at different times, there will be differences in severity after burning, as well as traces of the difference between the heated surface and the non-heated surface. This not only reflects the order in which the fire spreads, but also shows the directionality of the fire spread.

Therefore, the order of burning severity and the direction of the heating surface are the most typical traces of fire spread. In fire site inspections, they serve as an important basis for analyzing and identifying the fire point.

An’s father said that the fire point determined at that time was near the power supply.

Yang Fei asked: "Who called the police?"

Dad An said: "He is the male owner of this family.

He told us that he suspected that someone had deliberately set the fire. But after our investigation, we did not find any suspicious traces. We also investigated the male owner, but he had evidence of alibi. He was in the hospital for an acute appendectomy that day and escaped this disaster. Doctors and nurses could testify that he did not leave the hospital within 48 hours. "

Yang Fei sighed, thinking that Lao Yan was really lucky. An acute appendicitis actually saved his life!

Ten years have passed since the fire, but the hurdle in Lao Yan's heart has never been overcome.

Yang Fei and An's father talked about going home very late.

An Ran sent him out and asked, "Why are you paying attention to the fire ten years ago?"

Yang Fei told the story of Lao Yan.

An Ran said: "He has no direct evidence, otherwise he would have complained long ago."

Yang Fei said: "Yes, a fire destroyed all the evidence!"

An Ran said: "The biggest doubt in this case is that the competitor has Lao Yan's research results."

Yang Fei said: "Although his competitors also have his research results, it cannot be said that they stole them from his factory. After all, everything in the factory was destroyed by fire. The competitors can say that this is The result of my own research and development. If your opponent wants to do something bad, he will definitely have a way out in advance."

An Ran said: "Yes, research results are also the most difficult to judge."

Yang Fei said: "Although I know clearly that this is the biggest doubt, I can't find any flaws!"

An Ran said: "Do you want to investigate this case?"

Yang Fei shook his head: "You can't find out. Unless the person involved is willing to plead guilty."

An Ran said: "Don't think too much, go back and rest early. By the way, I heard that you and Su Tong broke up?"

Yang Fei coughed lightly and said with a smile: "It's just an quarrel. When two people are together, they often have quarrels. It's not like enemies never get together!"

An Ran said: "Really? When I was in Peach Blossom Village, I heard Su Tong's mother say that you have broken up! If two people really can't get along, letting go as soon as possible will be a good thing for you and her. Isn't it?"

Yang Fei felt her fiery gaze and couldn't help but turned away and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm going back."

An Ran took his hand and said, "Yang Fei, let's try to date, okay?"

Yang Fei's heart suddenly moved. How much courage does it take to let a woman say such a thing?

He was looking for words, how to say it without hurting her heart or damaging the precious friendship between the two?

"Being my girlfriend is very dangerous." Yang Fei smiled easily, "Do you know why Su Tong left me? Because when she was with me, she encountered the danger of being kidnapped several times. The fight in the mall was too dangerous. Yes, the two fires that Lao Yan encountered are proof of this! It is better for you to find someone with a stable job."

"I'm not afraid." An Ran held his hand and kept holding on, "Because I am a policeman. I can not only protect myself, but also you."

Yang Fei pointed to her building: "You are not afraid, I am. I don't want to see that one day, this house has a fire for no reason because of me. I don't want to see that one day, you will be killed because of me." Turn into oil residue..."

"Excuse! The business war is not as scary as you said. What Lao Yan encountered was just an isolated incident. If you want to say that, which industry is not dangerous? We who are police are the most dangerous! Stop making excuses, for you , let alone burned into oil residue, even if it turns into ashes, I am willing!"
