Chapter 39: Lu Shang's End
The sky is dark and bright.
Jiang Hua stood in front of the ruins of the warehouse, his eyes filled with sadness.
That bastard Lu Shang is really good at what he does. He was afraid that the fire wouldn't be big enough, so he even had someone pour gasoline on it.
It's better now, there's really no residue left, it's clean.
Such a serious and vicious arson incident occurred, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau also sent police officers to investigate.
Here are old acquaintances of Lu Shang, middle-aged detective Liu, and cute new police officer Ye Ran.
"Jiang Hua, last time you snatched my cake, you didn't expect us to meet again, right?"
Ye Ran came over, his eyes half smiling but not smiling.
"Officer Ye, I'm in such a miserable state, do you still want to ridicule me?"
Jiang Hua spread his hands and tried to make his face look miserable.
"I……"
Ye Ran's words were all suppressed.
Yes, Jiang Hua was really miserable when someone set fire to the warehouse. It was very unethical for him to add insult to injury at this time.
Seeing Ye Ran's depressed expression, Jiang Hua wanted to laugh, but at this time, he must not laugh. He would suffer misfortune and publicize it, and he would suffer heavy losses.
"Mr. Jiang, I would like to inquire about the approximate value of the goods that were burned in your warehouse?"
Detective Liu came over with a pen and notebook to conduct a routine investigation.
"It's really worth a lot. This fire cost me half a million!"
Jiang Hua looked melancholy and answered in a decadent tone.
"Half a million!"
Ye Ran covered her mouth and exclaimed, her eyes filled with sympathy.
Five hundred thousand yuan in this era is really a huge sum of money, and her annual salary is only a few hundred yuan.
"I heard that the security department of the steel plant arrested someone yesterday. I want to know who was behind it. He has to compensate for my losses."
Jiang Hua said with a heavy expression.
When he came here in the middle of the night, he knew that one of Lu Shang's soldiers had been captured. After learning the news, he began to figure out how to maximize his own interests.
"Still under interrogation, have you made any enmity with anyone recently?"
Lao Liu continued to take notes.
"Lu Shang, he threatened to torture me to death."
Jiang Hua sold Lu Shang directly without any hesitation.
He believed that the soldier was not a staunch hero, and it was only a matter of time before he betrayed Lu Shang.
"This matter is still under investigation. We will notify you when the results are available."
Old Liu asked a few more questions, recorded them one by one, shook hands with Jiang Hua and said.
He had a good sense for this young man. The theft of a national treasure that caused a sensation in the city at that time was Jiang Hua who provided important clues and participated in the arrest.
"Officer Liu, I really suffered heavy losses this time. After you catch the criminal, you must make him compensate for my losses before he is sentenced."
Jiang Hua held Lao Liu's hand and shook it vigorously.
The batch of rags he stored in the warehouse yesterday were all packed in woven bags, and no one knew what was in them.
Of course, Kong Zhuo from the textile factory could probably guess something, but he would not betray Jiang Hua.
Therefore, as long as Jiang Hua insisted that he had suffered heavy losses, Lu Shang would have to compensate him for his losses even if he was caught and sentenced.
Speaking of which, I would like to thank Lu Shang for doing a great job. This fire burned so cleanly.
"Jiang Hua, don't put too much pressure on you, we won't let any bad guy go."
Before Ye Ran left, he felt Jiang Hua was a little pitiful and came over to comfort him.
"Thank you, Officer Ye, you are a good person."
Jiang Hua's face was heavy and he shook hands with Ye Ran.
Is there any pressure in his heart? Lu Shang dug his own grave, and he was about to be doomed. He was happy, but there was a lot of pressure.
This incident was so big that even the city leaders were alarmed.
After all, Jianghua signed the contract agreement for the garment factory with the city at that time.
When they learned that someone was maliciously setting the fire, the city leaders were furious and said they would not tolerate it until they got to the bottom of the investigation.
"Brother Lu, rest in peace. I will take good care of the clothing factory and clothing city you left behind."
After Jiang Hua learned about the attitude of the city leaders, he knew that Lu Shang was completely finished.
After eight o'clock in the morning, one after another, the employees of the garment factory came to work.
When they saw the ruined warehouse, the female workers in the garment factory collectively fell silent.
Li Yue pushed her bicycle and stood in front of the burned-to-black warehouse, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.
The factory had just started to improve, but it was maliciously set on fire. Now the fabric and inventory have been burned, and the factory seems to have no way out except bankruptcy.
Jiang Hua stood in front of the warehouse, looking at the silent female workers, hesitating in his heart, not knowing how to explain it.
In front of the police and the city leaders who came to inspect, he could do anything unscrupulous in order to blackmail Lu Shang for a huge compensation.
But in front of the female workers, there is no need to be miserable. It is useless not to talk about the benefits and shake people's hearts.
Jiang Hua's silence was misunderstood by Li Yue as feeling that there is no greater sorrow than death.
She gritted her teeth and pushed the bicycle out of the clothing factory.
Not long after, she came over with a brand new stack of money that she had just taken out from the bank and handed it to Jiang Hua: "Mr. Jiang, this is all my savings. It's not much money, but I hope you can persevere. Don't
Let the factory go bankrupt."
Jiang Hua was just thinking about how to explain it to the female workers, but he didn't expect Li Yue to be so skilled.
While he was surprised, he was also a little touched in his heart. A friend's heart can be seen through adversity, and the factory flower really regarded the factory as her home.
"Need not."
Jiang Hua refused, dumbfounded.
Those who were burned were all rags, and he had no loss. However, this situation cannot be explained, otherwise his previous behavior of selling people out would become a fraud.
With Li Yue taking the lead, other female workers soon stepped forward.
"Mr. Jiang, I have a few dozen yuan here. It's very little money, but everyone adds fuel to the fire. I believe that as long as everyone works together, the factory will get through the difficulties."
The female worker who spoke was in her early forties, and she had a lot of money in her hand, wrapped in a handkerchief.
Jiang Hua knew that in these days, everyone's income was limited, and these tens of dollars were probably all the living money a family could use. He couldn't ask for this kind of money.
"Mr. Jiang, my child has a weak constitution and is often hospitalized. My family has no money left, but as long as the factory can hold on, I don't need to get paid for the next two months."
The female worker who stood up had a weathered face and patched clothes. She looked like she came from a very difficult family situation.
Someone took the lead, and all the female workers looked excited and pushed forward one after another.
"Mr. Jiang, although you haven't taken over the factory for a long time, everyone knows that you are a capable person. Please don't let the factory close down."
"Mr. Jiang, if each of us donates a little, the garment factory will be able to survive."
"It doesn't matter if the warehouse burns down, the worst is to start over from scratch, let's all fight together!"
Seeing such a touching scene, Jiang Hua's eyes were a little moist, and he even felt a little guilty.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
He stood on the ruins of the warehouse, raised his hands, and signaled everyone to be quiet and listen to him.
