It has now caused 46 deaths and 41 injuries, becoming the most serious fire accident in the history of Kaohsiung . In the afternoon of the same day, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the Cross-Strait Relations Association expressed high concern about fire casualties.
html On the night of the 314th, many Taiwanese media reported that the fire investigation has made "significant progress". A woman surnamed Huang admitted that she had burned sandalwood to repel mosquitoes at the scene, but denied arson and frequently changed her testimony. She is currently suspected of being a major suspect.
Local police investigation found that the fire point was located in the suite behind an antique shop on the first floor of the building. The resident of the house, a man surnamed Guo and a woman surnamed Huang, were in a relationship. Late at night the day before, the two had an argument. Guo Man left in anger, while Huang continued to drink with his friends, burning sandalwood to repel mosquitoes during the process.
When the yellow girl left in the early morning of the 14th, she suspected of throwing sandalwood embers into the trash can at will, which caused a fire. In addition, there were several cans of furnace gas tanks and other flammable materials on the scene, which caused the fire to spread rapidly. police also revealed that some witnesses heard a loud explosion, and it was speculated that the explosion occurred when the fire spread and the gas tank on the side was affected.
Huang's woman was summoned by the police on the evening of the 14th and explained that she admitted that she did burn sandalwood to repel mosquitoes, but denied that there was intentional arson. Finally, she changed her words and said that she was not sure why the fire occurred, and she did not believe that the fire was related to her behavior of discarding the sandalwood embers. The police said that since the Huang woman immediately confessed that the sandalwood embers were thrown in the trash can, she later changed her words and said she would take them away for treatment. In the end, she changed her words and forgot how to deal with them. She believed that the Huang woman was a major suspect and would be handed over to the prosecutor for interrogation on the 15th.
Taiwan media said that the "city city" has a house age of about 40 years. When the building opened, it was one of the most prosperous landmarks in Yancheng District. But the building was not managed well afterwards, and many fire alarms were fired over the years. After the fire, the internal environment of the building began to become dirty and messy. Many shops evacuated one after another and gradually became empty cities. In addition, the equipment in the building has been disrepaired for a long time, and many vagrants have moved in. Therefore, the "City in the City" has gone from the original bustling building to the "first ghost building" in Yancheng.
