Chapter 6 Section 6

In good conscience, the performance of the public security organs in Changshan City is very competent. After the fire broke out, they responded in a timely manner, remained calm in the face of danger, and took effective measures.In the early morning of August 14th, when the municipal party committee and the municipal government held an emergency meeting to report the fire situation in the conference room on the fourth floor of the People's Shopping Center, the direct cause of the fire had been basically found out, and four people involved in the fire had been arrested by the case investigators of the Public Security Bureau. They took control separately, including Li Dachuan, general manager and legal representative of Ark Decoration Company, Zha Tiezhu, captain of the third construction team of Ark Company, and two important witnesses who were present at the time.

According to the reports of several staff members who survived the disaster, because the third construction team of the Ark Decoration Company had many quality problems when decorating the Grand Regal Casino, Su Afu, the owner of the casino, withheld 200,000 yuan in the final payment for the project and failed to pay. , Construction team leader Zha Tiezhu brought his men to make trouble many times.At about 2:00 p.m. on August 13, Zha Tiezhu brought a plumber named Liu Jinshui and a welder named Zhou Peicheng to ask for money.The three quarreled for a long time in Suafu's office, throwing cigarette butts and spitting everywhere.Su Afu was overwhelmed by the noise, and called the security guards from the entertainment city to drive them out. Liu Jinshui and Zhou Peicheng threatened to set fire to the entertainment city.No one knows whether these two workers really set the fire on fire. The staff of the entertainment city only noticed one fact. That night, Zha Tiezhu came over again and burned electric welding in the front hall of the entertainment city. Later, the fire broke out. stand up.

Cha Tiezhu was the first to be detained.Because of the seriousness of the case, Wu Chengyi, the first deputy director in charge of business, personally took charge of the investigation.The place of detention is an old private house rented by the third construction team of Ark Company.This old folk house is the collective dormitory of the construction team.For some unknown reason, Zha Tiezhu didn't run away after the accident, but sat at the broken table in front of the bed drinking in neat clothes and hats.When Wu Chengyi arrived in a hurry with a group of police officers, Zha Tiezhu had already drank half of the bottle of Erguotou in front of him.At that time, Zha Tiezhu did not know the serious casualties caused by the fire.

After entering the Public Security Bureau, facing Wu Chengyi and the police officers who were being interrogated by surprise, Zha Tiezhu did not deny that he had caused the trouble. He sat down on the chair in the interrogation room and hurriedly said, "I... ...I know, I know, I...I made a mistake at work this time and caused a...big disaster. If you don't look for me, I...I want you to surrender. Look, change your clothes and Toothbrush and towel... I'm all ready!" Wu Chengyi looked at Zha Tiezhu indifferently, and said in a businesslike manner, "Tell me your name, age, and occupation!"

Zha Tiezhu said: "My name is Zha Tiezhu. I am 40 years old. I used to be the captain of the mine rescue team of the South No. 2 Mine of Changshan Mining Group. Last year, the mine went bankrupt and gave me 18,000 to pay the bill and go home." , I was the captain of the third construction team of Ark Decoration Company, oh, I am also the deputy secretary of the party branch of Ark Company, and the secretary is our boss Li Dachuan..." Wu Chengyi waved his hand and stopped him: "Zha Tiezhu, don't talk about things I don't ask!" Zha Tiezhu was very honest, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Director Wu, then you can ask, I will say what you ask!"

Wu Chengyi asked: "How did you make a mistake? How did you get into this catastrophe?" Zha Tiezhu started to speak: "Yes...it's like this: the fire was caused by the welding flow of the electric welding. Isn't there a hole in the front hall of the Big Regal Entertainment City? It was originally that Party A asked us to stay, saying It was a local omission. Later, in order to renege on the debt, the boss Su Afu insisted that it was a problem with the quality of our project, so I came to weld it! I... I didn’t know that the downstairs is the big warehouse of their entertainment city, with so many things piled up , he...they didn't tell me either!"

Wu Chengyi suspected that Zha Tiezhu was not the only one who was engaged in electric welding work at the time, and asked, "Cha Tiezhu, please explain the process clearly: How many people were there who were conducting electric welding work at the time? Who else besides you?" Without even thinking about it, Zha Tiezhu said, "I'm the only one. We had a quarrel with Boss Su in the afternoon because of asking for the project money. The quarrel was very fierce. Old Zhou, the welder, didn't want to do it, and no one wanted to come. Done, I'm the construction team leader, and I've been doing electric welding work in the mine for a few days, so I can only do it. Don't I want to get back the 200,000 balance payment earlier? Our South Second Mine went bankrupt last year , is the first batch of pilot units, and tens of thousands of people have gone bankrupt and unemployed this year. It is not easy for us to earn some money! Su Afu is the big boss, so he can’t be so black-hearted, do you think..."

Wu Chengyi stopped again and said: "Zha Tiezhu, please don't get too far away!" After thinking for a while, he asked, "Zha Tiezhu, are you qualified as a welder? Do you have a welding permit?" Zha Tiezhu didn't take it seriously: "No, but I know how to do it. I'm quite qualified! I... I am the rescue captain in the South No. 2 Mine. What does the mine rescue team do? They specialize in rescue!" Speaking of himself The glorious history of being a mine rescue leader in the past is obviously excited, his eyes are shining, and he is showing off, "Director Wu, you don't know, the roof collapses underground, the water seeps and explodes, we have to go! As the rescue captain, you have to know everything. Fiddle with it a few times! Director Wu, think about it, if I didn’t have these two tricks, I wouldn’t be caught blind when I was in a hurry, and besides, everyone wouldn’t accept me...”

Wu Chengyi understood: "That means you don't have the qualifications for electric welding at all, do you?" Zha Tiezhu is still arguing: "But my electric welding work is no worse than that of Lao Zhou who has a certificate, everyone knows it!" Wu Chengyi didn't want to entangle too much on the details that he had figured out, and asked specific questions: "Zha Tiezhu, when did you find out the fire? What did you do after the fire?" Zha Tiezhu said again: "I didn't discover the fire, didn't I weld the hole to death? The smoke and fire in the warehouse downstairs, I couldn't have seen it! It was the singer Liu Yanling who told me! Liu Yanling somehow ran up from the third floor, and when she saw me burning electric welding there, she said..."

Sensitively discovering new clues, Wu Chengyi made a gesture: "Hey, Cha Tiezhu, please wait a moment: Who is this Liu Yanling? You seem to be familiar with it, don't you?" Zha Tiezhu said: "Of course we are familiar! Liu Yanling is the little daughter of Liu Muzhu in our mine. Her father is my master. Later, she died in the mine. She was killed by falling from the roof. I picked up the body myself! Liu Yanling has been I became a singer in Hainan, I came back from Hainan a while ago, and I became a singer in Dafuhao Entertainment City..." Wu Chengyi interjected disdainfully: "What singer, Miss Escort!"

Zha Tiezhu was very serious: "Hey, I dare not say that, Yanling sings well, she is a little lark!" Wu Chengyi waved his hand: "Okay, let's not argue, please continue to tell the truth!" Zha Tiezhu had no choice but to tell the truth: "When Liu Yanling saw that it was me who was burning the electric welding, she said, Uncle Cha, it's broken, you're setting the fire downstairs! I went downstairs to have a look, and it was terrible, something big happened. I wanted to put out the fire first, so I searched for a fire extinguisher with Liu Yanling, but couldn’t find it, so I pulled the clean water pipe in the toilet on the third floor to flush it. Director Wu, think about it, such a big fire, such a small water, it’s like urine , it didn’t work! Besides, the glass was burned, and the poisonous gas from the warehouse downstairs came out. Liu Yanling ran out first, holding her nose, and told me to run too.” Wu Chengyi glanced at Zha Tiezhu carefully: "Oh, then you ran away? Huh?" Zha Tiezhu said: "I... what if I don't run away? After I ran out, I... called 119 for the fire alarm. Oh, yes, yes, I... I also called 110! In such a situation, it is... I caused a big disaster, I... I am not bad, you can sentence me for as many years as you want, I... I admit it all!" Wu Chengyi thought for a while: "You just said that you had a quarrel with Su Afu, the owner of the entertainment city, in the afternoon? What was the quarrel? Have you ever said that you will burn Boss Su's Dafuhao Entertainment City? If you don't give money, let it go." fire?" Zha Tiezhu hurriedly explained: "Hey, Director Wu, I didn't say this, really! It was Liu Jinshui and Zhou Peicheng who said it! Director Wu, you don't know, Su Afu is too domineering, and he wants to go out before he has finished listening to us. Called the security guards to drive us away! Xiao Liu got annoyed all of a sudden, and threw a cigarette butt he had just finished smoking on the floor. Su Afu said, "You fucking want to burn down my entertainment city?" Picked it up, "What if I burn your bird's nest? You are rich and rich, and I am a poor man with no food. If you are barefoot, you are not afraid of wearing shoes!" Zhou Peicheng also said angrily, "Don't give me any more The 200,000 yuan, be careful that we will set fire to your entertainment city someday!' I criticized them at the time, very seriously! I also apologized to Boss Su, you can ask Boss Su about this! Director Wu, You don't know, I have always been strict with this construction team. In the first half of the year, I was rated as an excellent construction team of Ark Company. Our boss Li Dachuan dared to hand over this team to me because he knew who I was and treated me well. I'm very relieved..." Wu Chengyi knocked on the table: "Going off topic again, let me tell you, when you criticized Liu Jinshui and Zhou Peicheng, what was your real thought? Didn't you have any resentment towards Su Afu if you couldn't get the money? Did you have any thoughts of revenge?" Zha Tiezhu was silent for a moment: "To tell you the truth, I even have the intention of killing him! Su Afu was just a self-employed man who set up a street stall in the past, and he seems to have entered a shop, right? Now the government and businessmen are colluding, power and money are traded, and the money is released. He is a rich man! We are good, industrial workers, who have devoted their lives to the country, paid tens of thousands of dollars, and went home one by one! We put together this life-saving money and made such a self-help decoration The company, he, Su Afu, is still black-heartedly relying on us! Is there any fucking reason for this?!" Wu Chengyi deliberately asked: "If the fire was not caused by you, would you be very happy?" Zha Tiezhu's face turned pale all of a sudden: "Hey, Chief Wu, what does this mean? No matter how angry I am, I won't be so gloating. I really want to kill Su Afu. I can single out! I can hear your words My son is here: Do you suspect that I set the fire on purpose? This misunderstanding is too big! I am a party member and the deputy secretary of the general branch. As I said, I was the captain of the mine rescue team. Where to lead people to rush! How could it be possible to set fire on purpose? Water and fire are ruthless, if the fire comes together, it will not be a Suafu who is burned to death!" Wu Chengyi already had a good idea: "Cha Tie Zhu, you know it! Let's not talk about the nature of the fire, let's talk about the facts. The facts now are: 1. The fire was caused by you burning electric welding; Second, there is an economic dispute between the third construction team of your Ark Company and the rich and rich entertainment city, is this the case?" Zha Tiezhu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I admit it! But the economic dispute between our construction team and the Rich Casino has nothing to do with this fire! Our boss Li Dachuan has repeatedly reminded us that we must negotiate or The legal way to solve the problem, as for me to check Tie Zhu's character, we Mr. Li can prove it for me!" So many provincial and municipal leaders are waiting to hear the report.After clarifying the basic facts, Wu Chengyi didn't ask any more questions, and decisively ended the first interrogation of Zha Tiezhu: "Okay, Zha Tiezhu, let's go here first!" But Zha Tiezhu couldn't finish it: "You still have to find the singer Liu Yanling, she can also prove it for me!" Wu Chengyi stood up: "Cha Tiezhu, stop arguing, take a look at this record, and sign it!" Zha Tiezhu took the interrogation transcript, read it carefully, and signed it with trembling hands. When signing, Zha Tiezhu kept saying: "Anyway, I... I didn't set fire on purpose, Liu Yanling can prove it! No matter how serious I am to Boss Su, I will... I won't set fire! This... You can't rely on me..." Wu Chengyi became angry now, and put the interrogation transcript signed by Zha Tiezhu into his briefcase, and said angrily: "Zha Tiezhu, do you know how many people died in this fire? One hundred and fifty-four people! Even if it is If you catch fire, you are also guilty of a heinous crime!" Zha Tiezhu was stunned for a moment: "What? One...one hundred and fifty-four people were burned to death? Huh?" Wu Chengyi ignored Zha Tie Zhu, put his briefcase in his folder, and hurriedly left the interrogation room. Before going out, Wu Chengyi noticed that Zha Tiezhu swayed and fell limply on the ground...
