hello fireman

Chapter 193 Petition
The explosion and fire accident at the Linghe Chemical Plant shocked the whole country. This Spring Festival is an unusual day for all the citizens of City A.

Especially the government and the fire department, from the moment the fire broke out, all staff were on duty to deal with the adverse effects of the fire.

The fifth day of the new year.

Kong Yizhen was called from the scene of the fire to the detachment compound by his father Kong Shuming.

Knock on the door, report, enter the house.

Kong Yizhen frowned at the pungent smell of smoke in the room.

She looked at her father who was stubbing out the cigarette with disapproval, and softly reprimanded: "Dad, you can't smoke."

Kong Shuming hadn't slept all night. At this moment, he stared at his daughter for a long time with bloodshot eyes, and said slowly, "Daddy stopped smoking. Stop smoking."

Kong Yizhen picked up the ashtray full of ashes and threw it away, and then opened the window to ventilate.She took out a pack of tea leaves from her father's bookcase familiarly, twisted a little into the teacup, went to the water dispenser to fill up the water, and placed it in front of Kong Shuming.

"Dad, you drink water."

Kong Shuming looked at his beloved daughter with complicated eyes, picked up the water glass, lowered his head and took a sip, but he couldn't raise his head for a long time.

Kong Yizhen felt sore when she saw a piece of frosty white hair growing on her father's head. She bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. I've smeared you."

Kong Shuming spent half his life in a state of military spirit.The most important thing is the party flag and national emblem and the reputation of a lifetime.He strives for virtue and is strict with his family members. Therefore, Kong Yizhen has developed a good habit of being cautious in words and deeds since she was a child. When she grows up, she can better understand what her father often said. Doing things depends on people, and being a person depends on virtue. These words have profound educational significance.

Kong Shuming put down the teacup, and when he got up, he accidentally swayed, Kong Yizhen hurriedly supported him, Kong Shuming called out Zhenzhen, then turned his head away, his breathing became short and heavy.

Kong Yi was really sad, she waited for a while, and said, "Dad, is it the result of my punishment?"

Kong Shuming frowned in pain. He held his daughter's shoulders with his backhand, and tried to put down a gentle tone, "Really, you have to be mentally prepared. This time is different from the past. Dad can't make the decision."

Kong Yizhen smiled at his father, "It doesn't matter. I have already made all the mental preparations. Don't worry, your daughter can win and even lose. It's just that I'm sorry for hurting the reputation you cherished half your life. It is the daughter's unfilial piety."

Kong Shuming's eyes moved slightly, he waved his hand, and said, "My daughter can get through it, and as a father, I can naturally endure hardships with you. It's just, really, after you bear the punishment, the road ahead. .”

"I will go better! Dad, don't worry, after this incident, I am no longer the girl who only knows how to act like a baby and doesn't cherish. I am stronger than ever, because I want to let Xiangzi, let every officer and soldier of the Special Service Squadron be proud of me. I want to live a down-to-earth, happy life, so that Xiangzi will be happy, won’t he?” Kong Yizhen said with emotion.

Kong Shuming nodded in relief, and he stepped forward to hug his daughter, "It's best if you think like this. Thank you, really, Dad, thank you..."

"Dad—" Kong Yizhen's eyes became hot, and tears welled up.

At this time, the sound of neat footsteps suddenly came from outside the window.

"咵咵——" That was the sound of the team gathering during the detachment's training, neat and uniform, compact and fast.

Following the loud and forceful shouts of looking to the right and looking forward, Kong Yizhen suddenly raised her face from Kong Shuming's arms, and she looked at Kong Shuming who was also astonished in disbelief, "Is it Tingchuan?"

When the father and daughter went to the window to have a look, they couldn't help being stunned.

Under the flagpole under the office building of the detachment, all the officers and soldiers of the Special Service Squadron were lined up neatly in formal attire. They held the bright red team flag of the Special Service Squadron and petition slogans for the exemption of Staff Kong Yizhen from punishment, standing upright in the wind like solemn boundary markers. Unshakable.

Almost everyone passing by will stop to watch this unprecedented scene.

After a while, someone knocked on the door of Kong Shuming's room, and Kong Yizhen stood aside with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

Kong Shuming stabilized his mind and said, "Come in!"

The person who entered was Liu Song, the deputy of the detachment. When he saw Kong Yizhen in the office, he couldn't help being taken aback, but he still cautiously opened his mouth to report: "Detachment leader, it is true that Yue Tingchuan led the special service squadron. Oh, petition for Staff Officer Kong, Ask the detachment to revoke the punishment of Staff Officer Kong, here, this is the petition they sent up."

Liu Song handed the letter to Kong Shuming.

Kong Yizhen suddenly raised his head, looked at Kong Shuming and said, "Chief, I'm leaving first."

Kong Shuming nodded, this occasion is too sensitive, it is inappropriate for Kong Yizhen to stay here.

After Kong Yizhen went downstairs, he went straight to the special service squadron.

She looked directly at Yue Tingchuan and Hou Weiye who were at the front of the row, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Are you crazy? You think this is somewhere, and you still play petition and sit-in!"

Yue Tingchuan's eyes swept over her lightly, "I complain about the members of our squadron, what's wrong?"

Kong Yizhen clenched her lips tightly. She didn't dare to look directly at Yue Tingchuan's deep and stern black eyes, so she turned her head and said with hot eyes: "I know, you all are doing it for my own good. But I did make a mistake, yes My mistake indirectly caused this major accident, and also caused Xiangzi and the others... Yue Tingchuan, don't do these stupid things for me, okay? Please, let me accept the punishment. In that case, I can Be at ease."

"No. Even if I can agree, the dozens of comrades behind me will not agree, everyone said, right!" Yue Tingchuan asked loudly.

"Yes—" the answer that resounded through the sky made Kong Yizhen's emotions collapse instantly. She covered her face and slowly turned her back.

Yue Tingchuan was also stimulated by this scene, his throat tightened and his eyes became hot.

He stabilized his emotions and said: "Whether you agree or not, you are a member of the Special Service Squadron, one of the 47 soldiers. No matter how big a mistake you make, we will share it for you. This time The reasons for the accident are complex and diverse, before the investigation is clear, the detachment cannot punish you so hastily. Even if you must be punished, then come to me first."

"No! Come at me! I am the instructor, and I failed to fulfill my supervisory responsibility!" Hou Weiye snapped.

Feng Xiaohai was even more impulsive. He took a step forward and said, "I am the person in charge of the fire prevention department, and I have to take full responsibility."

Just when a group of iron-blooded tough guys were arguing for punishment, Kong Yizhen suddenly shouted: "You all stop arguing!"

The place quieted down.

Kong Yizhen wiped away the meandering tears on his face, and said emotionally: "Yizhen is here to thank everyone. Thank you for not treating me as an outsider. Since everyone agrees that I am a member of the squadron, then I also decide, Whatever you do, I will support you unconditionally. Captain!"

Kong Yizhen faced Yue Tingchuan, raised his hand, and gave a military salute.

"Kong Yizhen, the fire prevention staff officer of the squadron, applied to rejoin the squadron!"

Yue Tingchuan and Hou Weiye exchanged gratified and excited eyes, he raised his hand, and returned a military salute, "Welcome—"

So, amid another roar of welcoming Staff Kong's return to the team resounding through the sky, Kong Yizhen took a significant step and returned to the special service squadron to which she was about to dedicate her whole body and mind.

The petition lasted a total of three hours.

When it was close to lunch, Kong Shuming personally led the members of the detachment leading team down the office building, and responded to all the officers and soldiers of the special service squadron.

"With regard to the punishment of Staff Kong Yizhen, the detachment decided to take it back temporarily, and wait for the results of the investigation of the huge explosion and fire accident to be announced before handling it."

When the officers and soldiers of the Special Service Squadron were overjoyed, Kong Yizhen received a message from Yue Tingchuan, and followed him to a quiet corner aside.

Kong Yizhen's mood has not completely recovered, she pressed her sore nose with her hand, looked up, looked at the heroic Yue Tingchuan, and said with a complicated expression: "For me, it's not worth it for you to do this."

Yue Tingchuan smiled faintly, raised his hand, and tapped the brim of Kong Yizhen's hat, "I will regret it only if I don't do anything. Yizhen, whether you admit it or not, I am the brother who cares most about you."

Kong Yizhen suppressed his sore nose, shook his head, and said, "I don't want to be taken care of by a brother like you."

"Really? Then I'm leaving." Yue Tingchuan made a gesture to leave, but was held back by Kong Yizhen, "Hey! You're not such a stingy person, are you?"

Yue Tingchuan stopped, turned around, looked at her silently, and smiled.

Kong Yizhen sighed softly, "If you want to know anything, just ask."

Yue Tingchuan knew that she was assisting in the investigation of the expert group, so he thought for a while and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Kong Yizhen looked at him, "Are you also concerned about the result?"

There was a trace of pain and grief in Yue Tingchuan's eyes. He said, "Xiangzi's blood cannot be shed in vain. We have the responsibility to let them know the truth of the incident and give them justice."

Kong Yizhen was sad for a moment, and said: "Now the expert team is conducting a detailed investigation on the scene. We have conducted a detailed survey of the fire scene, measured, photographed, and sampled the fragments and fractures of explosives and vinyl tanks. We are still collecting production and operation information. Various parameters and operation records in the computer, review and collect the transcripts of the conversations of relevant personnel on the scene, and conduct on-site symposiums.”

Kong Yizhen lowered his eyes, controlled his emotions, and said: "Although there is no definite result yet, I have roughly found the cause of the accident on the basis of a large number of investigations and analysis. The explosion was caused by a railway oil tanker throwing raw materials on the afternoon of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. When unloading light diesel oil in the tank area, because the operator opened the wrong valve, the light diesel oil that should be sent to the light diesel oil tank was sent to the tank that was already filled with naphtha, because the naphtha tank was full, so , leading to a large amount of naphtha overflowing from the roof, and a large amount of naphtha overflowing from the roof volatilized into combustible gas, and soon the entire tank area was filled with high-concentration naphtha oil and gas, which exploded when encountering an open flame, and then caused an explosion of ethylene and The whole tank farm was on fire."

She looked at Yue Tingchuan with a serious expression, and said, "This is an accident of major human responsibility."
