The police called three workers on the third floor of the building where the fire started and investigated the cause of the fire.
At that time, the screen golf course was being demolished on the third floor, and the workers stated that there was no work that could cause sparks, police said.
In the first joint investigation conducted yesterday (the 5th), no equipment that appeared to be a firearm was found.
The police plan to investigate the possibility of the fire due to electrical factors such as a short circuit through the second joint investigation on the 8th.
We plan to look into whether there was any negligence of the workers at the time of the demolition work.
