Chapter 96： Arson in the middle of the night

The county town is always quiet at night, and there are no street lights on the road. Except for the dim light brought by the moon's light, the world is in darkness.

Most people have worked hard all day and are in a sweet dreamland at this time.

There were almost no people on the road.

In major factories, all the workers have left in the evening. Except for a few places where people are keeping vigil, other places are also quiet and quiet once the locks are down.

The same is true for textile mills.

At this moment, a figure quietly appeared in the darkness, hunched over, slowly approaching the textile factory.

He skillfully climbed over the door of the textile factory, entered inside, and then approached the warehouse.

Soon, he walked to the warehouse and locked one of the places.

He put down what he was carrying, and then fumbled in his pocket. Under the moonlight, he saw the man take out the key and skillfully opened the warehouse door in front of him.

Seeing the door slowly open, revealing the full of deliang inside, the visitor showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Immediately, he bent down and lifted up the thing that was originally placed on the ground. It was vaguely visible that it was a bottle of wine.

He picked up the wine and poured it on the cloth in front of him, once, twice, three times...

The more he splashed, the more excited and excited his face became, as if he saw what he wanted waving towards him.

Until all the wine in the bottle has been poured out.

He put the wine bottle into his arms, and then took out another thing from his pocket.

Just when he was taking things and wanted to take action, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him without warning.

“Cao Jiandang, what are you doing in the middle of the night!”

That’s right, the person in front of the warehouse is Cao Jiandang!

At this time, the moonlight reflected his instantly pale face and his stiff back.

He didn't even dare to move.

For a moment, his mind went blank for a moment, and even his legs seemed to be filled with lead, stiff in place.

But soon, the sound of footsteps behind him and the light of a flashlight came.

Cao Jiandang reacted instantly.

No, he cannot be discovered. If he is discovered, if what he has done is known, then he is finished.

Thinking of this, Cao Jiandang immediately turned around and ran outside the factory.

He ran very fast, using all his strength.

“Stop, don’t run!”

“Cao Jiandang, we have recognized you.”

“I’m not Cao Jiandang, I’m not Cao Jiandang, you got the wrong person.” Cao Jiandang subconsciously retorted.

The people behind him were still chasing him, and Cao Jiandang was about to reach the factory gate.

His heart was filled with joy.

As long as you run out of the factory, as long as you don't get caught.

So what if they knew that he was Cao Jiandang? Tomorrow he would pretend not to know about it, and even if they asked, he would just deny it.

Right, that is it!

Just when Cao Jiandang's face was full of joy, he was about to rush out of the factory gate.

Suddenly, three people appeared in front of him and grabbed him. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move.

Just when Cao Jiandang saw one of the people in front of him clearly, he was stunned for an instant, with a look of shock on his face.

"Xu, Xu Aiguo, how come, why are you here!" That's right, the person standing in front of Cao Jiandang is Xu Aiguo.

Next to Xu Aiguo were two people from the factory, but Cao Jiandang didn't know them.

At this time, the people who were originally chasing Cao Jiandang also caught up.

“Cao Jiandang, it’s really you.”

This voice sounded familiar. Cao Jiandang slowly turned around and saw the serious face of Deputy Director Li among the people behind him.

It’s over, it’s over!

At this moment, Cao Jiandang felt as if something had exploded in his head.

“Cao Jiandang, tell me, you sneaked into the factory in the middle of the night and opened the warehouse door. What were you planning to do?” Deputy Director Li asked.

Then he motioned to the others to **** Cao Jiandang toward the warehouse.

"No, it's nothing, factory director, I didn't do anything. I just remembered that I suddenly left something in the factory and came back to look for it." Cao Jiandang tried his best to find excuses.

“Oh, you left something behind, come back to look for it? Cao Jiandang, you probably don’t believe it yourself. Look at these cloths, we can see them clearly. You must have just poured something on them.”

Deputy Director Li didn’t even need to pick up the cloth, but the air here was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

At this time, the struggling Cao Jiandang fell out of something hidden in his arms. Although it fell to the ground and shattered, everyone recognized that it was a wine bottle!

At this time, Cao Jiandang's palm was also opened, revealing what was inside.

It’s just a box of matches!

It’s over! When all these things were revealed, Cao Jiandang completely gave up struggling and defending!

“Cao Jiandang, please tell me, what do you want to do?”

“You exchanged the key to the warehouse, unlocked the key yourself, opened the warehouse in the middle of the night, poured wine on the cloth, and brought matches with you. Tell me, did you want to set fire to it?”

The word "arson" instantly touched Cao Jiandang's nerves.

“I’m not, I’m not, I’m not!”

Even if Cao Jiandang had this intention in his heart, he would definitely deny it on his face.

Otherwise, once the name of intentional arson comes out and he admits it, he will be completely finished.

“Okay, since you don’t admit it, then call the police and go to jail.” Deputy Director Li waved his hand.

As soon as the word "call the police" came out, Cao Jiandang was immediately frightened. His legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

In this day and age, everyone is afraid of the police, and everyone is afraid of calling the police and going to jail.

“No, don’t call the police, director, please, don’t call the police.”

“I, admit it, I admit it, it’s me, I came here today to set the fire.”

After saying this, Cao Jiandang slumped down and his head drooped.

He knows, whether he admits it or not, that as long as he is caught and his things are found, he will be finished!

“Cao Jiandang, the factory treats you badly, why are you doing this? Do you know how much damage you will cause to the factory if you deliberately set fire to this batch of cloth today?”

“If we hadn’t spoken out to stop you, once this batch of cloth was damaged, you might not only be in jail, but you might even be eating peanuts!”

Deputy Director Li’s voice was very stern, and he was scolding one after another. In such a silent night, it was very frightening!

Of course Cao Jiandang knew what the consequences would be if something happened to this batch of cloth.

But in Cao Jiandang's plan, even if something happens to this batch of cloth, the consequences will not be borne by him, but...

"Cao Jiandang, actually you did this to frame me." At this time, Xu Aiguo, who had been silent, spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Cao Jiandang's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly raised his head and looked at Xu Aiguo, his eyes filled with horror.

What Xu Aiguo said next shocked him even more.

“Let me guess what you’re going to do.”

“Actually, your main purpose was not to burn this batch of cloth. You wanted to frame me. You deliberately created the illusion that this batch of cloth was about to catch fire and be burned, and then you went out to put out the fire.”

"In this way, you become the hero of putting out the fire, and I, Xu Aiguo, will have to bear the charge of unfavorable supervision."
