Chapter 270 The man who set the fire
When I mentioned the experimental base, my third uncle's expression became heavy: "When I first learned that I was going to build an experimental factory, everyone was very happy. Once the factory was built, there would be work to do, and if there was work, I could make money, but who knew that it would turn out like that in the end..."
The whole village is sick, the dead, and the infected patients also have his relatives or friends.
"It's so harmful." Uncle San took a deep breath of cigarette and sighed, "It's so harmful..."
Lu Weiwei listened silently, feeling uncomfortable.
Chen Yan didn't say anything again.
The car was getting closer and closer to the experimental base. When it reached the fork in the road, Chen Yan turned to the road to the left.
The third uncle said to them: "At that time, we worked for the experimental factory and walked this road every day. Following this road further was the mountain road. Lu Qinglin died there... I heard that he broke through the guardrail and rushed down the cliff. The people in the village said that the mountain ghost took him over and did evil things and would be punished..."
Chen Yan looked at Lu Weiwei from the rearview mirror.
Lu Weiwei kept looking out the car window.
Chen Yan coughed lightly and changed the topic: "There should be a lot of people in the experimental base. Are you responsible for the food of so many people? Are you busy?"
"There are other people who help, and there are almost six people in the cafeteria..." Uncle San recalled, "And the patients eat less, and many patients basically live on nutrient solution in bed. Occasionally, a few people can eat only some porridge and noodles. The cafeteria mainly serves meals for researchers."
Sister Mei said: "We went to see it once before. The patient area was burned very seriously. It was fine in the cafeteria. Are you there when the fire broke out?"
"Here," said the third uncle, "I'll take you to see later."
The car soon arrived at the experimental base.
There are three buildings in the entire experimental base, with the canteen on the right and the two-story experimental building on the left. The patient lives in the sanitation building, which is five-story high, and is next to the experimental building, forming an L-shaped shape.
There is an open space in the middle, with trees, flower beds, and some benches for rest.
"The fire that caught at four or five in the morning started from the first floor of the patient building, and it burned very quickly. When the firefighters arrived, they had already burned to the second floor." said the third uncle. "At that time, everyone was asleep. It was difficult to find someone to put out the fire. We came very early because we had to make breakfast."
Sister Mei couldn't help but say, "But the burning situation in the experimental building seems to be even more serious?"
"At that time, there was no one in the laboratory building, and everyone ran to the patient building to put out the fire." Uncle San replied.
Lu, who was standing beside him, said softly: "And... there are a large number of chemical products in the experimental building. Once the fire catches, the fire will be difficult to control."
"How come a fire?" Chen Yan murmured, "Who set the fire?"
The third uncle lowered his face and said nothing.
Sister Mei's eyes wandered between the two and said tentatively: "I heard... it seems that because of that period, many people in the village began to get sick and had sores on their bodies. Some people suspected that the experimental base polluted the environment and caused everyone to get sick, so they secretly set fire..."
Chen Yan was stunned, and vaguely received the signal, and immediately replied: "After you said this, I remembered that something happened to Mr. Hu's four people. Could it be that he holds a grudge? It just so happened that he is the doorman, so it's easy to set fire!"
"Impossible!" Uncle San's face darkened, "After we discovered the fire, the first notice was Mr. Hu! He worked with us to put out the fire, how could it be the one who set the fire?!"
Chen Yan patted his shoulder, "Don't mind, we're just talking casually."
"I know, you just use money to do things." Uncle San looked at them with a face. "There are indeed rumors that the villagers set fire, but at that time, everyone did not determine the cause of the disease, so there was no need to find the problem of the experimental base. Besides... there were also many villagers in the experimental base."
