The flames were so loud that the explosion almost shattered the eardrums, and the impact seemed to be blowing waves, causing the speedboats hundreds of meters away to shake violently on the sea.

The instinctive reaction of the person turned over and hugged his head and lay down, but Zhou Wei stood at the bow of the ship as if he had been cursed, but he was only sluggish for a short time, and he came to turn the steering wheel and turn the bow of the ship to drive over.

Two police officers in the company saw his actions and stepped forward to stop him.

"Can't pass!"

"It's not clear what's going on over there, and there should be fuel tanks on board. ”

But Zhou Wei turned a deaf ear at all.

"She's still on board. ”

"I'm going to go and save her, she's still waiting for me!"

Zhou Wei was left to blindly repeat these two sentences, unable to take down the steering wheel, and simply broke free from the police and jumped directly into the sea, fortunately, the two coast guards reacted quickly, one hugged his waist, and the other dragged his arm in, but Zhou Wei used brute strength, and the two police officers in the prime of life seemed to be a little unable to pull him.

In the end, I don't know who shouted: "The ship is blown up, and the people are definitely gone, you should be sober!"

The wind is quiet.

Zhou Wei looked back at his scarlet eyes, "Impossible!"

"How is it impossible, you yourself watched the explosion over there, you..." Before the police officer could finish speaking, there was another "bang" in his ears, and one of the police officers instinctively shrank back.

Zhou Wei turned around, and the sea area hundreds of meters away was almost completely illuminated by the firelight.

As soon as his body went limp, another coast guard took advantage of the situation to detain him to the deck, the hull shook violently, not giving him any respite at all, and there was another "bang", this time the explosion was more thorough, and it seemed that the trajectory of the hull exploding in all directions could be seen in the firelight.

What is the problem of the capital chain.

What financing failure faces bankruptcy.

What is this?

It was nothing compared to the moment, and the real despair was to watch the ship explode and catch fire a few hundred meters away, and then quickly return to the cage before being burned to ashes or sunk to the bottom of the sea in an instant.

He was still pressed to the ground, his face pressed against the clammy deck, his nose was salty, his mouth was bloody, his pupils had long been out of focus, but he was still stubbornly watching the place where the ship had exploded.

Isn't the sea cold?

Zhou Wei bites his breath, the sound of the wind, the roar, the sound of burning... Everyone knows that this is the end of the story.

More than half an hour later, several speedboats arrived with a large force of coast guard, and the fire on the sea had already been extinguished.

The search and rescue team also began to take action, searching, salvage, and carrying out their work professionally and in an orderly manner.

Probably there are too many similar incidents in normal times, so most of them are expressionless, as for what they are salvaging and searching, no one says or asks.

……

Chiwei Island is a deserted island in the waters of Tonghai, small in size, and there is nothing on the island except forest birds and some sand and gravel.

When Xu Shilong arrived, Zhou Wei was sitting on the reef by the beach, the wind was too strong, the light was too dark, he had his back to everyone, his tall body was slightly bowed, his head was buried down, and he looked like a statue growing on the reef from a distance.

Xu Shilong learned some about the situation from the coast guard at the scene, walked over and wanted to say something, and his mind reacted with two sentences at that time, "mourn" or "cheer up", but it didn't seem appropriate to think about it, and finally he just sighed, took out the only few cigarettes left from his pocket, and put them on the stone next to him with a lighter.

You can also smell gunpowder and burning objects in the wind.

Everyone is performing their duties, searching the sea, collecting evidence, and there are also people from the Maritime Safety Bureau, who looks like a small section chief, and wants to find Zhou Wei, but was stopped by Xu Shilong halfway.

"He shouldn't be in the mood to meet people right now, let's talk about it later. ”

The Maritime Safety Bureau does not handle the case, and it is actually a routine way to ask about the situation, so the small section chief is not reluctant, and only said to Xu Shilong: "There is a leader above who said hello, and he attaches great importance to this case, and if there is a need, just open his mouth." ”

Xu Shilong patted the other party's shoulder, "I know, it's hard!"

"You've worked hard, and I've heard that you've been following you for a day and a night. The little section chief glanced at Zhou Wei, who was still sitting on the reef with his back to everyone, and asked in a low voice, "That person is the victim's family?"

"Hmm. ”

"What's the relationship?"

"Husband and wife, husband!"

"Tsk tsk," the little section chief obviously gossiped, "It's really pitiful, I just heard the two coast guards over there say that they are almost found, and they have already seen the kidnapper's boat when they rush over, but it turned out to be a step too late, and he watched the boat blow up." ”

Xu Shilong didn't answer, he wasn't there at the time, so it was not good to make a statement.

The little section chief suppressed his voice again and asked, "Is there any chance of surviving this situation?"

Xu Shilong looked up at the sky, on the third day of the Spring Festival, there was no moon, and the whole island was also dark.

"I don't know, it's up to God's will. ”

The little section chief sneered, seeing that the will of heaven was basically a negative result, but he didn't want to ask more.

"Then you're busy!"

After the people from the Maritime Safety Bureau left, Xu Shilong looked up and looked around again, he seemed to sink his head lower, and his back almost blended in with the night.

"Team Xu, Mr. Zhou should be fine, right?" It was Xiao Lu who came over.

Xu Shilong didn't speak, Xiao Lu also stared at the back, and muttered to himself: "I really hope there is a miracle!"

Xu Shilong snorted and went to fish his neck, "You have been doing this business for a long time, how many miracles have you encountered?"

Xiao Lu didn't say anything, but he knew the answer in his heart.

Whether it's providence or miracles, it's really hard.

……

At one o'clock in the morning, the clock on the lighthouse struck again.

The people involved are still busy, but everyone seems to have a tacit understanding that they rarely speak or make a sound, and everything seems to be going on in silence.

Only the waves are still rolling, and the waves at night are like beasts, constantly lapping against the reef on the shore, and the sound of the water is loud, as if they are complaining, or crying bitterly.

There is not a single star or moon when you look up.

The dark nights on this desert island seem to be particularly long.

When the bell strikes for the third time.

Chen Haodong rushed over, and at that time, the wreckage of the ship's hull had been salvaged one after another, but no signs of life were found.

Chen Haodong had already learned about what was happening here on the way here, so he almost rushed to Zhou Wei, picked the person up from the reef, and swung it with a punch.

The two were of the same size, but this punch was so strong that they were easily knocked to the sand.

The desert island, which had been depressed and silent, seemed to have been torn open.

Seeing the situation, Xu Shilong immediately came over and grabbed Chen Haodong, but his strength was obviously insufficient at this time.

If Chen Haodong had a knife in his hand, he would probably be able to stab Zhou Wei directly now.

"What about people, you tell me, what about people?"

Chen Haodong roared and broke away from Xu Shilong, picked Zhou Wei up from the ground again, and looked at each other evilly, but met a pair of unfocused eyes.

He swung his fist again, this time even harder, and others could even hear the sound of flesh and skin colliding.

Zhou Wei was directly beaten to the ground.

The smell of blood overflowed in the mouth, salty and hot, different from the cold water, and different from tears.

"What are you doing, what are you hitting him for?"

Xu Shilong was also annoyed and forcibly twisted Chen Haodong's shoulder.

Chen Haodong was about to step forward again, but Zhou Wei, who was beaten to the ground, slowly got up by himself, swept his mouth with his fingertips, there were blood stains at the corners of his mouth, he glanced at the tips of his eyes, thinking that he was going to fight back, or at least to be annoyed, but he didn't say a word like a fool.

Chen Haodong shook off Xu Shilong, stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Wei's collar again.

He is ruthless, he hates, but what can he do with more emotions at this time?

The flame in his eyes slowly extinguished, replaced by another kind of sorrow and despair.

He said to Zhou Xian word by word: "What did you promise me before? You said that you would treat her well, you would make her happy, but what is this now? I was really... It's crazy to be willing to give her to you!"

I can't control my emotions, and even my voice is unstable.

Chen Haodong threw the person out, turned around, and covered his face with his palm.

His mood at this time is probably different from Zhou Wei's, the former is sad, and he has one more layer of remorse, but life is always like this, he always has to wait until the pain is deepest and he knows that he is irreparable before he is willing to admit how unwilling he is.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the first rays of light crept out of the sea level, and then the light rose higher and higher, gradually blurring the whole east.

The sea that had roared all night also quieted down, and the color of the sea was no longer a deep black, but slowly revealing a little blue.

It's almost dawn.

The people from the Maritime Safety Bureau have long since left, and the coast guard has only left a small team to continue the search, and the people from the Xu team have already sealed the salvaged wreckage as evidence at the crime scene and transported it back one by one.

At six o'clock, the sun rose completely, and the light sprinkled on the surface of the sea shone a blue with golden ripples.

The desert island behind him also reveals its original appearance.

The lush trees, the soft sand, the birds chirping out in the morning to feed, the water is clear and the trees are dense, and everything is peaceful and beautiful under the sun.

If it weren't for the smell of gunpowder and scorching in the air, it would have been impossible to imagine a terrible explosion here a few hours ago.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Shulan also rushed over, as well as two leaders from the public security side.

The leaders came to the site to "inspect" the work and offer condolences, but seeing that Zhou was in a poor state, he did not say much.

Liu Shulan kept crying, comforting Zhou Wei while crying.

She felt distressed, she felt sorry for her son, she felt sorry for him who had been here all night, his beard was scummy, his eyes were red, and the black jacket on his body had long been dirty, but she didn't dare to ask more, she didn't dare to say more, she could only sit next to her, sometimes she took off her shawl and draped it on his shoulders, and sometimes she touched his hands like ice cubes.

Chen Haodong also never left, he sat alone on another reef dozens of meters away from the surrounding sea.

In the distance, the sea is vast, and small fishing boats are seen coming out to cast their nets.

He remembered that many years ago, he had taken Chang An to live in a small fishing village for a week, and the two of them also liked to sit on the beach by the sea and watch the sunrise and sunset, and the fisherman fluttered fish, but they were here in a blink of an eye.

How many years ago was that?

Chen Haodong trembled and lit a cigarette, took a puff, and choked his eyes with sourness.

Why don't you remember, how many years ago was that?
