After the team competition, Ren Yi took Gong Yingxian and Gong Feilan to sit in the auditorium, cheering for the fighters participating in the individual competition.

Although many relatives and friends came to the scene, the appearance of the brother and sister was too outstanding, so they received the most spectators.

Just watching, Wang Xuan came with two boxes of iced cola, Ren Yi took a few bottles, and handed them to Gong Yingxian and Gong Feilan, Gong Feilan took it readily, and Gong Yingxian said simply: "I No carbonated drinks."

"It's really hard to serve." Ren Yi gave him a bottle of mineral water instead.

Gong Feilan couldn't help nodding: "Cousin is picky eater."

"Choose a diet that suits you, not a picky eater."

Ren Yi sneered: "If you don't eat this, you don't eat that. In a popular sense, it's called picky eaters."

Gong Yingxian gave him a slanted look: "I didn't ask you to prepare food for me, what are you complaining about?"

"Who dares to complain."

Gong Feilan said helplessly: "Don't keep arguing."

Ren Yi coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "What's the progress of Cai Wan's case?"

"Through many clues, I connected the case to Cai Wan's elder brother. This man is called Cai Cheng. He has been idle all year round. He once came to Tianqi to do odd jobs, such as security guards and couriers, but he didn't work for long. He returned to his hometown last year. , there is evidence that this person has been to Tianqi some time ago, but he did not take the state-run transportation system and has no ID card record."

"He came after the bar caught fire?" Ren Yi said, "That's too suspicious."

"Yes, and he deliberately chose to avoid people's eyes and ears to come to Apocalypse, which is very difficult to investigate. I asked Captain Qiu to help me contact the local police. After a little investigation on this person, I found that he has recently had unusually high consumption , likely to have income from unknown sources.”

"Has anyone been caught?"

"No, it's not easy to obtain evidence for cash transactions. You need to have tangible evidence before you can arrest people, but it should be soon."

"If Cai Wan can be brought to justice, I really have to thank Captain Qiu." Ren Yi said casually, "Didn't you call me sister Yan?"

"Sister Yan? What's wrong with her?" Gong Feilan turned her head and asked.

"You know her too?"

"Yes, our family and Sister Yan's family are family friends. We have known each other since we were young."

"..."

At this time, Gong Yingxian's phone rang, and he got up to answer the phone.

Ren Yi couldn't help asking Gong Feilan: "Feilan, are your cousin and Captain Qiu really childhood sweethearts?"

"Certainly not. The difference between the two is seven or eight years old. How can we go together?"

Ren Yi nodded.

"But my cousin definitely likes her." Gong Feilan said firmly.

Ren Yi was stunned: "... Really."

"Well, elder sister Yan is the only woman my cousin has a relationship with. She is so beautiful and excellent. With my cousin's character, if I don't like her, how can I treat her so well."

Ren Yi said in a low voice: "That's right, they are a good match..."

"Ah!" Gong Feilan yelled suddenly, and looked at Ren Yi nervously, "Captain Ren, don't you also like Sister Yan?"

Ren Yi smiled lightly: "How is it possible, we only met for two minutes."

Gong Feilan looked at Ren Yi suspiciously.

"Looking at your cousin talking and laughing with her, I'm just curious."

"Oh, that's good. Indeed, my cousin really only treats her differently." Gong Feilan shook his head, "It's a pity that my cousin has been back to China for such a long time, and I haven't seen anything. It's really worrying. "

Ren Yi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he was inexplicably disappointed, and also wanted to laugh, it turned out that Gong Yingxian didn't really not eat the fireworks of the world, but only loved the family.

When Gong Yingxian came back from the phone call, the two of them pretended to be nonchalant. He felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so he asked, "What did you two just say?"

"It's nothing, cheers for the soldiers." Ren Yi said.

Gong Feilan smiled and said nothing.

Gong Yingxian narrowed her eyes, apparently not believing it.

At this time, Ren Yi's phone rang again. He looked down and saw that it was Xu Jin calling: "Hello, Chief of Staff."

"Ren Yi, where are you?"

"I'm here at the tournament."

"Something happened. A high-rise apartment on Anmin Road is on fire. The fire is huge. Come here immediately."

Ren Yiteng stood up suddenly: "Wang Xuan, you stay and take care of those who are still in the game, and the others will follow me to the police, immediately."

Everyone stood up one after another, Cui Yisheng asked: "Captain Ren, what's going on? What happened?"

"A high-rise apartment on Anmin Road, Chief of Staff Xu just called me."

Ren Yi said while leading the people to run to his fire truck.

Anmin Road does not belong to his jurisdiction, but belongs to the Love Bridge Squadron. It is a little far from his jurisdiction, but it happens to be close to here. A major police situation requires several squadrons, or even several detachments to coordinate operations. Judging from Xu Jin's tone, the situation is serious.

When Ren Yi changed his clothes and was about to get in the car, Gong Yingxian's voice came from behind: "Captain Ren, can I go together?"

Ren Yi turned around, and only then remembered the two of them, as long as he encountered a police situation, he would be helpless, he raised his chin: "Get in the car."

Gong Yingxian said to Gong Feilan: "Wait here, I will ask the driver to pick you up."

"Cousin, can I come together..."

"No, call me when you get home." Gong Yingxian followed Ren Yi into the car.

Along with Ren Yi, there were three other fire trucks that drove away from the competition venue, and they were obviously dispatched. Ren Yi sent Gao Ge a WeChat message, asking if he had received the police, and Gao Ge replied quickly, saying no. Call them, probably because the distance is a little far, and it will be very congested in the past.

In the car, Ding Qing asked: "Team Ren, what's the situation?"

"I don't know, Chief of Staff Xu must be very busy right now, let's find out when we get to the scene." Ren Yi frowned, "The residential building is on fire at this time, which is quite troublesome."

It is now 5:00 pm on Wednesday. According to their experience, usually at this time, young and vigorous office workers and students are not at home. Most of the people at home are retirees, housewives and children who have not yet reached school age. The elderly, women, and children are all vulnerable groups in accidents, whether they are self-rescue or rescued.

And this apartment is high-rise…

Gong Yingxian sat aside with an ugly expression, without saying a word.

Ren Yi looked at Gong Yingxian, and said softly, "Why did you follow?" He knew that Gong Yingxian didn't want to see the fire scene at all, after all, he vomited even after going to the ruins after the fire.

"As long as it is a fire case in Hongwu District, I may be responsible in the end." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, "I want to find out the situation in advance."

"The residential building caught fire in broad daylight, most likely by accident."

"What if it's arson." Gong Yingxian stared straight at Ren Yi, "I won't let go of any possibility."

Ren Yi sighed secretly in his heart: "When you arrive at the scene, don't move around, and listen to my instructions."

Gong Yingxian nodded.

Before the fire truck arrived, they could already see the soaring smoke column from the tall buildings in the distance, and Ren Yi's heart sank.

When a high-rise is on fire, if the smoke flies out obliquely on a certain floor, it proves that the fire has not spread widely, but when the smoke starts to rise vertically on the roof, it proves that the fire is not under control. The chimney effect is formed through stairs, elevator shafts, ventilation shafts, pipe shafts, etc., and they are climbing rapidly, and all floors above the fire floor are in danger.

The chimney effect is like a devil for the fire protection of high-rise buildings. Once a fire breaks out, it will help the fire to burn violently and spread rapidly. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to extinguish because of the three-dimensional combustion of multiple floors. The water cannon can't hit it, so I can only watch it burn.

Their fire engines drove to the entrance of the community, and the squadron that arrived first had already cleared the passage and instructed them to park.

Parked the car, and everyone got out of the car.

The first thing Ren Yi saw was Wang Meng, the captain of the Mule Alley Squadron: "Wang Meng, how is the situation?"

Wang Meng quickly said: "The fire broke out on the 22nd floor. The building has a total of 28 floors. The people below have been evacuated. There are a large number of people trapped above. The platform truck has rescued a group of people, but the fire is getting bigger and bigger. The chief of staff asked Go find him as soon as you come."

Ren Yi ran forward with the soldiers, and soon saw Xu Jin who was discussing tactics with other squadron leaders.

Not far from them, there are two huge fire-fighting air cushions. In fact, these two things are not very effective in this kind of high-rise fire. When it exceeds six floors, the result is almost the same whether there is anything below.

Seeing Ren Yi, Xu Jin immediately said, "Come here, we have to go up to search and rescue immediately."

Ren Yi glanced at the billowing smoke above his head, with a serious expression on his face.

Xu Jin pointed to the architectural drawings and said: "Now the fire on the 26th, 27th, and 28th floors is under control, and the platform truck has already sent two classes up, successfully rescued all the people on these three floors, and the remaining four floors We are looking for windows that we can enter. At the same time, we have to divide our troops into two teams, one way to search and rescue from the 26th floor down, and the other way to search and rescue from the 21st floor up. The 22nd floor is the fire floor, and the fire is the largest. Go to a class, and you will be the on-the-spot commander, if you really can't make it, report it in time, don't force it."

"yes."

At this moment, a group of soldiers not far away shouted: "Don't jump, don't jump!"

As soon as Ren Yi raised his head, he saw a person jumping down from the window that was emitting flames. Ren Yi turned his face away, but the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground still reached everyone's ears in the noisy fire scene. middle.

Some onlookers burst into tears.

Ren Yi shook his head and began to lead the team to prepare.

In addition to combat uniforms and air calls, he and other commanders and fighters also carried 65 caliber fire hoses, fire axes, crowbars, hydraulic pliers, chain saws, spare air bottles and other equipment. Ten catties, and they have to carry these things up the 22nd floor of the stairs.

Everything was ready, Ren Yi set off with the soldiers, suddenly, he found Gong Yingxian standing aside and looking at him, his face pale as paper.

Ren Yi inexplicably felt his heart tugging. He took off his gloves, gave Gong Yingxian a thumbs up, and said with his mouth: "Don't worry."

Gong Yingxian's chest heaved vigorously, and he also took off the gloves that he kept in his hands all year round, and gave Ren Yi a thumbs up.
