20.7 Washington Parcel Bombing Case VII

A breadring shop on the street, which offers coffee, milk, bagel and other delicacies that ordinary people often eat, just like the ordinary snack bar in Dongliuqiu. Originally, Du Ping chose this shop for leisure because there was a row of very good small tables outside the store. But Du Pingping did drink the coffee that suited his taste the most here. For this reason, Du Pingzhuang came from the small table where he was sitting to the busy shopkeeper in the small shop, and shook the coffee cup in his hand at the shopkeeper.

"Boss, your coffee is amazing, it's the best coffee I've ever had since I came to Huashi!"

The boss standing behind the counter immediately smiled like a flower.

Boss, "One more drink, I'm in for a treat!"

Du Fair, "Thank you!"

A man in his 30s, who was also drinking coffee in the store, turned his face to Du Fair.

Man, "Old Coud's shop has been here for almost 60 years, and we all grew up drinking coffee and eating bread from his family. ”;

"It looks like there are a lot of old citizens here. ”

Man, "yes, a lot of people here have grandfathers and dads who grew up here. ”

……

Du Ping had a friendly exchange with the diners here. People are like this, when they meet someone to discuss what they love with them, they will always lower their vigilance against a stranger. So by the time Lisa and Sheema arrived, Du Ping had already gotten a lot of basic information about the old neighborhood. Of course, Du Ping did not forget his main purpose here, to spy on the old apartment and the fat landlord.

The fat homeowner has not appeared, and Lisa and Shema have arrived.

A black SUV pulled up to the side of the road, and Lisa and Shema stepped out of the car and sat down next to Du Ping and Susan at a small table on the street.

Lisa, "Susan, you're here too?"

Lisa and Susan greeted each other before introducing Shema.

Lisa, "Susan, Du Ping's college classmate and girlfriend?"

Susan happily replied, "Yes." ”

Du Pingping helplessly watched his relationship with Susan, and in this way, inadvertently, it was slowly turned into a fact. And in my heart I don't object to it.

Shema, "Hello Susan, I feel the urge to go back to college when I see you. ”

Susan, "Thank you for the compliment. ”

Lisa, "What's the discovery?"

Lisa turned her face to Du Fair and began to get into work.

"There is nothing to gain. You know, I'm not a professional agent, and I don't have much experience or knowledge in point guarding, tracking, counter-tracking, arresting, and the like. ”

Lisa, "Got it, you can choose to go back to the lab, or you can choose to stay here." ”

Lisa and Shema glanced at each other and walked out of the coffee shop together. Then, disappear into the streets.

Du Ping, "Gone." It's weird, I know they must be nearby, but I can't see them, and I don't know what they're up to. ”

Susan smiled, "I can see some of this." ”

Du Fair, "Can you?"

Susan, "Don't forget, I come from a police family, and my grandfather taught my brothers some practical police skills when they were very young. ”

Du Ping, "When you were very young?"

Susan, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just thought there would be something different in the police chief's family." ”

Susan, "Even I was very young, I had to teach what to do when I was kidnapped, what to do when someone was on the street with a gun, and so on. ”

"Don't the police families have confidence in the security of New York City?"

Susan, "It's not that I don't have faith, it's because I'm engaged in this kind of work, and in my grandfather's words, the enemy is running all over the ground, and I have to guard against it." ”

Du Pingping, "I have a long knowledge." ”

Susan gave Du Fair an intimate look and pointed to a beggar who was rummaging through a garbage can on the street.

Susan, "Did you see that person?"

Du fair, "See. ”

Susan, "I think it's probably an FBI agent, you see he's loading all the garbage into his car." A real beggar doesn't do that, he tries to gather as much evidence as he can before the search warrant is gone. And the couple, who should be stalking on the street. And the college student with the backpack, who used to ask about renting a house, should also be an agent, observing the environment. ……”

After the seemingly empty neighborhood was pulled out by Susan, it turned out that there were already FBI agents everywhere. Although it is not known whether the clues found by Du Ping are correct, it seems that the FBI still shows a lot of importance to Du Pingping's information.

"It seems that I am still far from being a real police officer. ”

Susan, "That's for sure. Do you know how my family watched me at my first high school prom when I was 14?"

"They're keeping an eye on you, too." ”

Susan, "It is the custom of every Gel family to protect the young girls in the family. Of course, our Reagan family is no exception. ”

Du Pingping, "How did you keep an eye on it?"

Susan, "They looked up my then-boyfriend's driver's license. ”

"Does he have a driver's license?"

Susan, "Yes, no. So the police told him that if he didn't get back to his home on time after half an hour, he would probably spend the night in the police detention center. So our original plans were all in vain, and I had to go home after the dance. ”

"Haha...... Ha ......"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

…………………………

Time passed minute by minute, and before the local residents of this old neighborhood had noticed, there were already secret agents here.

Finally, several police cars with flashing police lights drove in, and they parked in front of the old apartment building in a row, and Aaron got out of the car with a group of armed detectives and policemen.

Aaron, who got out of the car, saw Du Cheng and Susan, who were still drinking coffee at the small table in the open air on the street, nodded to Du Ping, and did not ask Du Cheng to come over. It wasn't long before Padge, dressed in a bulletproof vest, arrived at Aaron's side and reported that everything was ready.

A police detective knocked on the door of the apartment on the first floor, and the fat old man, the owner of the apartment, appeared at the door of the apartment as if he was in that drunken state. Aaron came to him, and he recognized Aaron as well.

The landlord, "You're here again, what's the matter? Anyway, the basement has been opened by you, so you can do whatever it takes." ”

When the owner was lazily trying to walk away, Aaron stopped him.

Aaron, "Hello! We're meeting again. ”

Looking at the fat landlord, Aaron smiled lovingly and showed a new search warrant.

Aaron, "We've gotten the court's go-ahead. Based on this approval, we have trees to conduct a search of all rooms in your entire apartment and we hope you will cooperate. ”

Homeowners can't believe it, "Are you kidding?"

Aaron's expression was indifferent, "I'm not kidding. ”

With a wave of his hand, Patrick burst into the apartment with several armed policemen, followed by several special policemen with police dogs.

…………………………

The lead pulled up to the underground pet shop again, and Aaron stepped out of the car again.

At this time, Carter had just walked from the basement to the surface. With a helpless expression of "you're here again", he looked at Aaron.

Aaron also saw him, smiled at him, and waved his hand Several agents did not rush to the basement, but rushed to the foyer on the first floor of the apartment and entered the apartment.

Then several police dogs entered the apartment.

…………………………

Du Fair and Susan walked away from their tables side by side, standing on the side of the road, watching this special event here like ordinary citizens.

"You say, what will be the result this time?"

Susan, "Du fair, believe in yourself, and besides, even if you are wrong, there is nothing." You've worked hard. ”

Du Fair, "Thank you!"

A few customers from the coffee shop also walked out and also came to this side of the road and looked not far away.

One guest, "How many times is this?"

Another guest, "Second time, right? I came here last night." It seems that something is really going to happen. ”

The first guest, "No, something is going to happen to Barco Yasuo, right? He's a good guy!"

The second guest, "In these years, good people don't live long, and liars run all over the place." Wasn't Little Carter's pet shop cheated by scammers?"

The first guest, "Oh! ”

……

At this time, there were already many ordinary citizens standing around the old apartment who had gathered here to watch this strange operation of the police. People get together and talk to each other.

Then, in the freeze frame of time, the old apartment, a certain room on the first floor of the old apartment, suddenly a huge flame flashed, and the glass of the window immediately turned into scattered transparent fragments and bloomed in the air. In the end, there was a deafening loud sound.

"Boom!"

A loud sound without warning instantly resounded throughout the neighborhood like the roar of a terrible monster, and along with the terrible roar was the terrible shaking that seemed like an earthquake. The room that was constantly entering the detective's apartment suddenly swept through countless fragments of countless flames like a huge monster, rushing out of all the doors and windows, roaring its own terrible. One by one, the windows of the houses were shattered, and one by one flames rushed out of these broken windows, declaring their own horror. And at this moment, almost all people did not realize that danger was coming, and just quietly and blankly watched everything that suddenly happened in front of them.

Susan, "Be careful!"

Susan hugged Du Ping and threw herself behind a big tree on the side of the street, as if she were the kind of professionally trained athlete, and Susan deliberately hid in the shadow of the explosion when she fell behind the big tree with Du Ping.

When Du Ping raised his head again, the street was already covered with countless garbage, blood, and injured pedestrians.

Du Pingping immediately understood something. It was a terrible explosion, one that was bigger and more violent than the previous three. And it happened in front of Du Pingping, and death was just a stone's throw away from Du Pingping.

Susan!

Du Ping suddenly remembered the moment of the explosion, and threw himself down behind the tree to appear Susan. Susan threw herself down regardless of her own safety, but what is Susan's situation now.

Du Ping looked at Susan on top of him and helped her down in his arms. Susan in Du Ping's arms, a hint of bright red from the corner of her mouth was flowing from there.

It was she who saved herself at the moment of the explosion, and it was she who stopped in front of her with her own body.

The corners of Du Fair's eyes moistened, Du Fair couldn't control his emotions and shouted loudly, Du Fair had forgotten everyone next to him at this moment.

Du Fair, "Susan!"

In Du Fair's arms, Susan was smiling at Du Fair.

Susan, "I'm fine, I should have been hit on the back by a flying weight, help me check, it should be fine." ”

Du Ping hurriedly looked behind Susan, where the clothes had been torn out of a few small holes, and it didn't look like a big deal. But Du Pingping was still uneasy and carefully checked it twice again, and after constantly confirming his judgment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Pingping, "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up first!"

Susan, "Du Fair." ”

"What's wrong?"

Susan, "As a member of the police force, you should call the police now and then rescue your accomplices. Go now, hurry!"

"What about you?"

Susan, "I'm fine. ”

Susan sat up, her back against the tree.

Susan, "I'll wait here for the paramedics." Go ahead and don't disappoint me!"

Du Pingping, "But ......"

Susan, "Don't disappoint me!"

Du Ping nodded, turned to the center of the explosion, and rushed over.

…………………………

Miserable!

It's miserable!

No one who has not personally experienced the scene of the explosion can truly understand the true meaning of the word hell on earth. The circle that passed through the outermost circle was injured by the explosion, and the injured onlookers were constantly wailing in pain on the ground. The further you go inside, the more tragic the scene becomes.

Walking into the first floor of the bombed apartment, it was already full of rubble, wood, glass, plastic, limbs, flesh, and bones. From time to time, a puddle of blood would pass, Du Ping found a policeman wearing an alarm, did not hesitate, after testing his carotid artery and beating, he immediately picked him up, carried him out of the explosion scene with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and sent him to Susan, after taking a look at Susan, Susan was very good, and also gave Du Ping a reassuring smile. Du Ping's heart stabilized again and was filled with courage again. Du Ping dropped the survivor and returned to the center of the explosion again.

Du Pingping's action brought many agents who were carrying out covert stalking and evidence collection work in this neighborhood, and everyone walked out of their positions one by one, regardless of the crumbling and dangerous building, and rushed to the work of finding survivors, colleagues and accomplices.

Du Ping wanted to find Aaron, Lisa, Shema, and Paji, but he didn't find any of them, only a strange face was found, no hesitation, no choice, after testing that they were still alive, Du Ping carried them out of the scene one by one.

Soon the first group of police arrived, and they were the patrol officers of the nearest neighborhood. Without any hesitation or instruction, they jumped out of the car and rushed to the first scene. Then the second group of police arrived, and the second group of police rushed into the scene, and the third group of police arrived, and the third group of police rushed into the scene......

People are constantly being found and then rescued. There were not only police officers inside, but also residents inside, and the strong explosion had brought the building with many years of history to the brink of collapse, but no one hesitated or flinched.

After that, the citizens also joined in.

Ambulances arrived, and the constant wounded were carried into the ambulances and constantly sent away. Susan insisted on leaving until the end, leaving the opportunity to many more people who were far more injured than herself, and finally got into the ambulance on her own.

Du Fair, "Susan!"

Du Pingping firmly held Susan's hand, unwilling to let go.

Susan, "I'm fine! My hero, go help more people." I'll come back to you!"

The ambulance was gone, without a hint of speciality, and just walked away. Du Ping turned around and walked into the scene of the explosion again.

Aaron was found, he was crushed under the big fat man who weighed 200 kilograms, and only then did he save his life, but he still had multiple fractures on his body, and he was still in a coma. Du Pingping held on to the single frame and put him in the ambulance, and suddenly found that the man who had always been separated from him was so kind.

Lisa and Shema were also found, and the two lucky guys, who had not entered the apartment at the time of the explosion, were still conducting instructions on the periphery, and the other was checking the garbage that had just been found from the trash can. When the three of them met, they hugged each other and cried. Padge never found it. She rushed to the front line of the incident with police detectives and police dogs, and none of the four people who entered first could be found.

Everyone already had a bad feeling in their hearts, but no one said it.

The army also came, the search and rescue at the scene was basically over, and although there were still many people busy on the front line of the explosion site, there were no more existents or corpses to be brought out. Several paramedics pulled Du Ping, Lisa, and Shema to the ambulance next to them and forcibly treated their different injuries.

During the process, the three people were silent, and none of them had any idea of talking.

Everything was like a nightmare, and it happened to them all at once, and then several lives disappeared like that.

The three were also taken to a nearby hospital, but when they left, many of the police officers who had rushed to the rescue were still trying to give them warm applause with tiredness and dirty traces of work. In particular, he was the first to rush into the scene to rescue him, and he was the last person to leave here, and he was also the one who rescued the most survivors in the whole process.

At this moment, he was a hero, a hero to all who were in the scene. Although he is not the kind of person with white skin and blue eyes, but a person with yellow skin and black hair, this difference still does not stop the respect of the people on the scene.

There was only applause, no flowers, because there really were no flowers here.

Amid the applause, the ambulance carrying Du Pingping and the three drove away from here and drove to the hospital.
