"Uncle, just tell me what happened with the fire tonight?"
Guo Jinshan's face was grim as he asked.
"What fire? Oh, the apartment was... burned down. We all know. I was hiding inside and it didn't... didn't... didn't catch fire. Jinshan, don't worry about me."
Liu Neng said.
"Uncle, tonight's fire was caused by you eating hot pot. Who brought the alcohol?"
Guo Jinshan questioned.
"What...what...what does this have to do with who brought the alcohol? The main thing is how the fire started?"
Liu Neng felt guilty.
He bought the alcohol burner from a local general store in town.
Liu Neng is smart; he doesn't want to take the blame.
"Why do you care how it catches fire? If you don't buy an alcohol stove, will the apartment catch fire?"
Accountant Xu also got anxious.
"If you clean the sparks off the wood...wood...wood, will it...it catch fire on its own?"
Liu Neng stammered in rebuttal.
"Anyway, you bought the alcohol burner, so it's your responsibility!"
Accountant Xu insisted on it.
"Oh, this...this...this is Guangkun's fault!"
Liu Neng remembered.
"Liu Neng, what are you doing? You bought the alcohol stove, and Accountant Xu threw away the unburnt firewood. It's all very clear. You're trying to pin this on me. What are you thinking?"
Guangkun watched Liu Neng and Accountant Xu arguing, and was enjoying the show.
did not expect.
The fire burned him.
"Guangkun, think about it... I did buy the alcohol pot, but... wasn't it you who lit the alcohol block? If you didn't light it, would there be a fire?"
"So, you're the one who brought the lighter, you're the source, no doubt about it!"
Guangkun analyzed.
"The source of lighters is...the manufacturers."
Liu Nengdao.
"Guangkun, just accept it. Yongqiang works at the Forestry Bureau, your in-laws work at the Water Conservancy Station, and Xiangxiu works at the County Hospital. Just put them together and you can make up for the money lost on the apartment."
Accountant Xu advised.
"Hey, you're blaming me for lighting the alcohol? Don't forget, we didn't have enough alcohol, so we gathered firewood. Who started the firewood? In the end, it was a spark from the firewood that set the trash can on fire, right? The person who lit the firewood is the real culprit."
Guangkun analyzed it for a while.
Who lit the firewood?
Several people recalled.
Zhao Si!
“Come on, murderer, oh no, fourth brother, step forward, don’t just stand there.”
Guangkun said happily.
Finally, the trouble was diverted elsewhere, and I felt a little relieved.
"What does this have to do with me? Guangkun, you're so stingy, I've even wasted a whole laying hen on you!!"
Zhao Si was heartbroken.
"I admit, I was the one who lit the firewood."
Zhao Si said, his mouth twitching.
"Look, that's the apartment that Lao Si burned down!"
Accountant Xu, Liu Neng, and Guang Kun were overjoyed.
This case is about to be closed.
"I started the firewood, but it wasn't the trash I delivered. It was Old Xu who was careless and couldn't put out the embers completely."
Zhao Si vehemently denied it.
After going around in circles, we've come full circle back to Accountant Xu.
It's like the chicken laying an egg, or the egg hatching into the chicken.
It goes on and on, endlessly.
Both sides had their own reasons, and Xu Hui, sitting next to them, was getting sleepy listening to them.
Yang Xiaoyan was smug, having at least narrowed down the scope of her search.
Guo Jinshan's face turned ashen.
What if the villagers are evicted after the apartment building burns down?
"Jinshan, please say something for your uncle... say something... say something."
Liu Neng winked at him.
"Secretary Guo, if you dare to help Liu Neng, I'll report you to the city authorities for favoritism and corruption, and I'll get a TV reporter to interview you!!"
Guangkun issues a warning.
Guo Jinshan was completely baffled.
Before coming to Xiangyashan, Qi Santai repeatedly warned that the waters there were very deep.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but now it seems these villagers are really a handful!
clap clap...
"Okay, stop talking."
Yang Xiaoyan clapped her hands to quiet things down.
"Secretary Guo, you should see this now. It was just a few people who did this. I'm disappointed in the villagers. The group really can't help you. Everyone should pack up and leave at dawn!"
Yang Xiaoyan said it casually.

"President Yang, President Xu, this is a critical moment for the reform of Ivory Mountain. We can't afford to mess things up!"
Guo Jinshan was anxious.
"Who messed up? What does it have to do with us? The villagers are too noisy. If they dare to burn down the apartment building tonight, they'll dare to burn down our workshop tomorrow."
Yang Xiaoyan explained, “Secretary Guo, I understand your difficulties. How about this, the group will no longer provide apartments, but we have many warehouses where the villagers can sleep on the floor.”
"Mr. Yang, what's wrong?"
Guo Jinshan is in a difficult position.
How can anyone live in a warehouse? There isn't even a bed.
Especially now that it's summer, there are many mosquitoes.
Where can you find a comfortable air-conditioned room like in an apartment?
"Secretary Guo, this is already the greatest sincerity we can offer!"
Yang Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Eh!!"
Guo Jinshan was helpless.
"By the way, Secretary Guo, this is the expense list for the villagers' accommodation and meals over the past few days. Please take a look and sign it."
Yang Xiaoyan and Xu Hui are different.
She is meticulous in her work, making sure every penny is spent clearly and transparently.
"alright."
Guo Jinshan signed it.
His signature alone won't have much effect. Tomorrow, I'll have to go to town to get Qi Santai's signature as well.
"It's getting late, everyone go home and get some rest!"
Yang Xiaoyan checked the time; it was already past 3 a.m.
Everyone left.
soon.
Only Xu Hui and Yang Xiaoyan remained in the conference room.
