Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Grasshoppers on a Rope
Chapter 120 Grasshopper on a rope
After the harsh fire sounded, Guo Tianhe immediately realized what was going on. He was about to react, but before he could explain, the office was immediately in the dark, and the instinct of human beings immediately became chaotic. With the faint light brought by the dawn outside the window, Guo Tianhe looked at his colleagues around him and shouted: "Don't be confused! This fire is so strange. Someone wants to destroy these evidences. Get these documents quickly! Drink... Drink..."
Halfway through Guo Tianhe's explanation, the rolling smoke rushes into the office from the corridor with a choking smell, which makes the cadres present cough violently. The smoke choked Guo Tianhe's tears kept coming out. He covered his nose with his hands and rushed to the office door. He glanced at the burning flames on both sides of the corridor, closed the office door with force, quickly took off his clothes, and shouted to his colleagues in the office: "Get water quickly and wet my clothes. We must block the gap under the door immediately, otherwise everyone will be choked to death by the cigarette."
Guo Tianhe said this, while holding his cell phone and pressing Zhang Liang's mobile phone number, he explained to his colleagues: "Open the window quickly, pack up the evidence on the table, and hide it closely. Even if we let the fire be burned to death, we cannot let the evidence be destroyed."
When Guo Tianhe explained here, Zhang Liang's confused and impatient question came from his phone: "Who called so early..."
Before Zhang Liang could finish his words, Guo Tianhe immediately spoke, "Director Zhang! I am Guo from the first group... Guo Tianhe, we have... made major discoveries, but a fire broke out in this company and we are now trapped in the office."
Zhang Liang, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Guo Tianhe's report, woke up from his sleep and asked Guo Tianhe: "Xiao Guo! Don't be nervous, just say it slowly."
Guo Tianhe looked at his colleagues around him who were coughing while packing documents, thinking that if they were all buried in the fire, these evidences would always be sank to the sea. Thinking of this, he quickly clarified his mind and reported to Zhang Lianghui: "Director Zhang! We investigated and dealt with the company forged fake documents for customs and smuggled. At present, the amount reflected in these documents is quite huge. It is estimated that the other party has been sending people to secretly kill people to silence us and trapped us in the building with torch."
When Zhang Liang heard Guo Tianhe’s report, he put on his clothes and explained: “Director Guo! Don’t panic. Now I will find a way to block the fire outside the office door. I will call 119 now and ask them to take pictures of the fire truck. Remember to keep these evidence at all costs.”
"Director Zhang! I understand. Please rest assured that even if I sacrifice my life, I guarantee that the evidence will be foolproof." Guo Tianhe immediately hung up the phone, looked around in a panic and packed the documents suspected of having problems into the customs, forcing him to calm down.
At this time, perhaps because the fire outside the corridor is getting bigger and bigger. Although wet the clothes with water, wet the smoke outside, as the fire approaches, the temperature in the office begins to rise rapidly. Seeing the two female colleagues hugging each other in panic, their whole bodies trembling, Guo Tianhe knew that the more he needed to calm down, the more he needed to be calm, the office was on the fifth floor, and it was impossible to escape if he wanted to jump out of the window. He quickly looked at the surrounding environment, and the small bathroom door immediately caught his eye.
Seeing the bathroom, Guo Tianhe subconsciously looked around, and immediately walked to the door and picked up the sanitary bucket. While walking to the bathroom, he ordered the cadres who were busy packing the documents: "Let's find a few plastic bags, put them in plastic bags and tie them tightly, and hide them in the bathroom." He said this and rushed into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. While filling the water in the bucket, he shouted to the outside: "Let's find everything that can hold water. We must not let the fire burn into this office."
Although the members of the task force knew that splashing water on the wooden door was a drop in the bucket to the fire outside the corridor, this was undoubtedly the only hope for them to survive. So under the guidance of Guo Tianhe, in addition to the cadres responsible for the evidence, even the two female colleagues who had previously hiding aside and shivered in fear muster up the courage to stand up and find something to fill the water.
Zhang Liang hung up Guo Tianhe's phone number and immediately called 119. He first called the police to tell the fire location. Then, while reporting his identity, he ordered the fire brigade to ensure the safety of the task force members at all costs.
After Zhang Liang finished the phone call, he put on his clothes in panic. While running outside the gate, he found Wu Hao's mobile phone number and quickly called him.
Since the assessment team of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department had finished the cadre assessment in southern Fujian and was preparing to leave southern Fujian and return to the provincial capital the next day, Wu Hao had dinner with the comrades of the Provincial Party Committee investigation team, and then went to find the Chief Gao, who was sent by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to the Provincial Party Committee to evaluate middle-level cadres. He specifically discussed the current situation of middle-level cadres in southern Fujian and had a detailed conversation with Chief Gao.
Originally, Wu Hao wanted to use the power of the provincial party committee investigation team to replace part of the middle-level cadres who leaned against Jin Xingyu in Minnan City to open up the work situation in Minnan City. Who knew that his plan had just begun, but he unexpectedly became the municipal party committee record of Minnan City because of the erotic photos of Jin Xingyu. However, this also caused Wu Hao to have a miscarriage after he had already thought of it. Because Wu Hao had just taken office and Jin Xingyu's incident caused the cadres in the city to be panic. In order to stabilize the current situation and avoid the situation.
To further expand, Wu Hao was ready to postpone the transfer of most cadres after repeated consideration. He talked with Chief Gao for more than two hours. After receiving the support of Chief Gao, he returned to the dormitory to consider who to finally transfer. As a result, he thought about it, before he knew it, it was already past two o'clock in the night. Wu Hao might have fallen asleep because he was really sleepy. Who knew that Wu Hao had not slept for more than two hours before his cell phone ringed.
Wu Hao, who was sleepy, felt the ringtone of his phone, closed his eyes and reached out to touch the bedside table for a long time before touching the phone, leaned into his ear and asked in a confused tone: "Hey! Who is it?"
"Wu Ji! I am Zhang Liang! When our first group was about to end the investigation of the Far East Group's import and export trading company, a fire suddenly broke out in the office building. Just now, Guo Tianhe, the leader of the first group, called me to report to me that the investigation had made a major breakthrough. It is estimated that the other party has been secretly monitoring the progress of the first group's investigation, which caused the other party to jump over the wall and set the torch to trap the investigation team in the office building of the company. After receiving Guo Tianhe's call, I had already called 119 and was on the way to the scene." As soon as Wu Hao finished asking, Zhang Liang's anxious voice immediately came from the phone.
Although Zhang Liang was confused, Wu Hao still heard the general meaning. He sat up from the bed, his face full of shock, but he quickly recovered from calmness, because he knew that since the other party dared to set fire so blatantly and trapped the investigation team inside, it means that they were getting closer and closer to the truth. Wu Hao said to Zhang Liang decisively: "Director Zhang! I'll come here right now. Please tell me the comrades of the provincial party committee investigation team that, while ensuring their safety in their lives, we must do our best to protect the evidence they found."
"Wu Ji! I have already told Guo Tianhe that even if I give my life, I must save the evidence. This is an extremely bad case. The other party dared to ignore the lives of more than ten comrades from the provincial party committee investigation team and attempt to set fire to destroy the evidence. This has never happened to me in more than 20 years of being a police officer. This shows that the situation here is quite serious. I will call the Provincial Armed Police Corps and ask them to send armed police from the provincial capital to block the scene. Secretary Xia will be responsible for reporting." Zhang Liang said angrily when he heard Wu Hao's words.
Wu Hao naturally understood Zhang Liang's purpose of dispatching the armed police from the provincial capital, and even more understood Zhang Liang's intention to ask him to report the incident to Secretary Xia. These two requirements put forward by Zhang Liang were extremely unfavorable to him, but now it is no longer a question of who is responsible. What is important is how to safely rescue the cadres of the investigation team trapped in the fire.
Wu Hao was actually unwilling to send armed police from the provincial party committee, but now his subordinates do not have any cadres who can trust and use them. He could only use Zhang Liang's opinion. He quickly thought about it for a while, and he said while putting on his clothes: "Director Zhang! It is absolutely too late to transfer armed police from the provincial capital to southern Fujian. I now call Wei Wu of the police station and ask him to arrange for trustworthy police officers to come and block the scene first, prohibit everyone from approaching the scene. After the armed police arrived here from the provincial capital, the armed police would take over. This arson case shows that the other party was so arrogant that they didn't take us at all, but at the same time it shows that we have mastered the other party's lifeline, so we must not be distracted and let the other party take advantage of the opportunity."
Zhang Liang asked Wu Hao to call Secretary Xia to report this emergency, which was actually selfish. He was the leader of the provincial party committee investigation team. If something happened to the cadres of the investigation team, he would be the main person responsible for the accident. Now he regrets that when the investigation team made initial progress, he did not ask the provincial party committee or the Minnan Municipal Party Committee to send armed police to be responsible for the safety of the investigation team. However, there is no regret medicine in this world, so he can only pray that the cadres of the investigation team must not have accidents. At the same time, he also hopes that Wu Hao can help him reduce some responsibilities.
Zhang Liang was very surprised when he heard Wu Hao's words. He never expected that Wu Hao would do things without any leakage under such circumstances. However, Wu Hao promised to call Secretary Xia and made him very grateful. While despising his villain, he admired Wu Hao's character very much. He said in a sincere tone: "Wu Ji! Thank you!"
