The bureau chief sighed, âAfter the incident, it was discovered that there were traces of a fire over there. It was speculated that the fire was caused by the wind blowing on the sparks and burning the dry grass at the side. The autumn in province a was dry and there had not been any rain for more than a month. Every part of the mountain was filled with withered yellow grass. Once there were sparks, once it burned, it would burn in patches.â
âSince Chen Feitang and Chen Feibai are both in that area, why are you so sure that Chen Feibai did it? Is it because Chen Feibai was burned unconscious and Chen Feitang is fine?âLu Xingzhi hit the important point directly, âUnder normal circumstances, only the person who made this mistake would react immediately and have the time to escape from the fire. On the contrary, those who donât know the reason would not have the time to escape, right?â
Lu Xingzhiâs retort shocked everyone. The bureau chief also had this kind of doubt in his heart. However, when he was about to investigate this matter, old master Chen said that this matter was Chen Feibaiâs mistake. There was no need to continue investigating, due to old master Chenâs face, he could only give up. He only thought that Chen Feibai might have woken up midway, so he told him what happened.
âCompany commander Lu is right.âChen Shanhe immediately stood up. âLogically speaking, only the person who used fire would be the first to notice the fire and have the time to escape.â
âEnough! Iâve already said that it was Feibai who did it. Whatâs there to doubt? The mountain is covered in withered grass. With sparks flying everywhere, he wouldnât even have the time to react before he was surrounded by a ball of fire!âOld Master Chen scolded Chen Shanhe in a low voice, then, he turned to Lu Xingzhi and the others and said, âAll of you go back first. We donât need you here for the time being.â
This meant that he wanted to drive them away.
âThen weâll go first. If thereâs anything, call the command center.âThe chief glanced at the pale old man Chen, then gave Lu Xingzhi and the others a look before they left the hospital.
Because the chief still had urgent matters to attend to, he left in a hurry. Lu Xingzhiâs comrades, however, walked together with Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao.
âYou guys go back first. I have something to discuss with company commander Lu.âJin Mingdong, who had dragged Jiang Yao to mediate the fight, called out to his other comrades. Then, he gestured for Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao to go to the side to talk.
The three of them went to an empty corner. Jin Mingdong took something out of his pocket. Jiang Yao took a look and saw that it was a lighter. There was a number written on the lighter: 46.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âChen Feibaiâs code name is 46,âJin Mingdong said, âI saw Chen Feibai take out this lighter from his bag before we set off. Before Chen Feibai set off, he reminded me that the climate here is dry and that we must not use fire in the mountains. âAfter Chen Feibaiâs accident, I specially went back to the dormitory and found his lighter. So, company commander Lu, there must be some inside information about this matter. â...â
Before the mission, Jin Mingdong lived in the same dormitory as Chen Feibai. Therefore, he knew better than anyone whether this matter was Chen Feibaiâs mistake.
âA person who will remind me that I canât use fire in the mountains and even put the lighter in the dormitory, what conditions does he have to use fire? How many people would knowingly commit such a crime?âJin Mingdong handed the No. 46 lighter to Lu Xingzhi, âChen Feibai is from your Jin City Army, and he is also a soldier under your company commander Lu. It is best for Your Army and you to settle his matter.â
