1358 No Longer Need to Endure! 3 (1/2)
Nian Xiaomu's consolation came to effect very quickly.
Manager Hong was able to get back on his feet again and had his injuries tended to first before dismissing the workers in the factory, getting them to go home.
Looking at the order restored at the scene, the color on Nian Xiaomu's face gradually returned.
The little boy's family also took him back. Before they were gone, he even showed Nian Xiaomu a huge bright smile.
Those innocent eyes of his filled up Nian Xiaomu's heart with warmth.
”Miss Nian, the preliminary investigation of the fire has produced results,” Executive Assistant Yang walked to her and reported in a low voice.
Nian Xiaomu raised her head and saw Yu Yuehan standing beside the group of firefighters.
She hurriedly went over.
The captain of the fire brigade team was a very experienced firefighter. After the huge fire had been put out, he found the source and even discovered a lighter which had not been completely burnt because it was buried under a metal cabinet.
Upon seeing Nian Xiaomu, the captain reported his findings.
”It is highly likely that this fire was a case of arson. The source of the fire is highly likely to be the accounting office. There are many documents inside which are all paper, so they went up immediately when in contact with a flame. Moreover, the accounting office is connected to the storage room, where all the cloth is kept.”
The combination of paper and cloth is the perfect fuel to start a fire. Just by adding a little gasoline, a small fire would blow out of proportion.
The flames would then engulf the whole factory.
And that lighter…
”Will it be possible to collect fingerprints from the lighter?” Nian Xiaomu asked.
Hearing this, the captain of the fire brigade team hesitated for a moment before replying, ”The lighter was quite badly destroyed by the fire, and there was even a huge hole at the bottom. I've sent someone to take it back as evidence to investigate. Whether we can collect fingerprints of the arsonist from it, we will have to hand it to the relevant department and wait until they have checked it.”
”Thanks for your hard work!”
