Chapter 4 Escalation of Crime (1) Human Bombs

While the Sunbelt Plaza was in turmoil, on the top floor of the courtyard on the hill behind them, cameras had already been set up to record everything that had just happened in the Sunbelt Square.

"Well done, my brother, you are our hero, and Allah will bless your soul to ascend to heaven."

After Aman Idas finished speaking, he raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky, and his mouth was full of words, he was praying for the ghost of Zaid.

The crowd behind Aman prayed the same prayer.

"Brothers! Our mission is not over, our warriors are still fighting there, everyone is ready. Aman-Idas finished his payment and began to watch the movement in the square in the distance.

In the space of more than 10 minutes, national security, criminal investigators, and some official figures had arrived here, and two news vehicles had also arrived here, and they were interviewing some people who were gradually gathering outside the cordon.

An investigator was questioning Yifei about the circumstances at the time of the incident, and Cohen and Martin's team and some soldiers of the National Guard were searching street by street for another suspect, which was not so easy because the 'Sun Belt' plaza was the center of several streets and the high level of people coming and going.

"Are you saying that you first saw two people, and then those two people separated, and one person walked here, and are you sure that this attacker was one of the two people you saw in the first place? Is it possible that you have misplaced the attacker in some blind spot and the person you are seeing? Makes you mistakenly think that it is still the same person before. ”

A senior criminal investigator was asking Yifei about every detail.

"Sir, I'm sure I'm right, there weren't too many people in the square at the time, and both of them were wearing the kind of burqa they were wearing, and there were no other people here wearing this kind of burqa at the time."

After more than half a year of internship and accompanying missions, I am not accustomed to this kind of meticulous inquiry, because this kind of meticulous investigation can restore the original state of the situation as much as possible.

"Are there any other distinguishing features of these two men other than the Muslim burqa they both wear?" Investigators are still asking for details.

"In terms of clothing alone, the two men are almost the same, both of them are this kind of long robes, the only difference is that the person who left is still wearing a turban, as if it is the kind of ...... with a grid"

Yi Fei, who was describing the details, suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on a person walking out of a shop on the other side, also on the corner.

The police officer who was questioning Yifei noticed the abnormality of Yifei's expression, and couldn't help but follow Yifei's eyes in that direction.

Muhammad was sitting in the corner and shivered with nervousness, and he couldn't help but touch his clothes, a special attack vest composed of high explosives and some steel nails and balls, which were tightly covered by the wide burqa outside.

Zaid has bravely completed his mission, this is a holy war, Zaid's soul has ascended to heaven, and he must be a martyr like Zaid.

Muhammad's courage was remobilized, his heart was beating faster, and at this time, he even felt a little sorry for Zeyd, if it wasn't for the Oriental man rushing out and interfering with Zeyd's actions, Zeid might have done better.

Police, Secret Service and National Guard soldiers arrived and began to cordon off the streets, and began to search the house from house to house, and there was no one in the store, and after the attack, the customers and service staff of the store ran outside to help the wounded, and now they are all cordoned off.

Now that the time coincided with their prediction, Muhammad got up, took off his burqa, grasped the detonator attached to the explosive vest tightly in his hand, and said one last pious prayer.

There could be no further hesitation, three or four soldiers and policemen of the guard were walking towards here, and Muhammad took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked out.

The man who came out of the shop around the corner made Yifei's scalp tense, the same feeling he had when he saw the attacker.

It's not that I know what makes me nervous, it's the headscarf on this man's head that makes me nervous, yes! This man was the one who had come with the attacker, and although he was now missing the robe he had worn outside, the turban on his head had not changed.

Yifei pushed away the police officer in front of him, and shouted hard as he ran forward:

"Attention! Don't let that person come! ”

Several soldiers who were walking towards the shop were also a little surprised when they saw a person coming out of the shop, this area had been cordoned off, why were there still unrelated people here.

An officer leading the team greeted him as he raised his hand to signal him to stand and be examined, just when the officer's ears heard a warning sound in the distance.

Several soldiers quickly raised their guns and aimed them at the man in front of them, and at the same time shouted at him to raise his hands above his head.

Muhammad stopped, he stared blankly at the people in front of him, and then he tentatively moved forward two more steps, and he saw the faces of the men in front of him who were a little distorted by excitement and nervousness, and in the distance there were many people approaching here, and among these people who were running here, Muhammad saw the Oriental who had caused trouble for Zaid, and this Oriental also ran towards him, and as he ran he was crying out something urgently.

When Muhammad heard that the Oriental man was reminding them that he must not let this man interfere with his actions again, he slowly raised his hand, looked up at the sky, and prayed as he pressed the detonator in his hand.

Seeing the suspect come out, he raised his hands, and the officer leading the team was about to step forward to check, but then the officer's eyes widened in horror.

As Muhammad's hands slowly lifted, the sleeves of his shirt gradually slipped into the crook of his arm, and a black power cord emerged from the sleeve, the ends of which extended into the man's arms while holding in his hands.

"Get down! Get down! ”

The officer let out this roar almost instinctively, and at the same time slammed his body forward, and the moment he had just pounced on the man, a ball of fire rose in front of his eyes.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion sounded around everyone, and the suspect's body was suddenly torn apart, and the officer who pounced on him was also shocked by the powerful impact and flew back.

Countless shattering voices rang out from all directions, and many of the people who gathered around were knocked down.

The whole person who rushed over was shocked and flew backwards, and then fell to the ground hard, and as he fell, he felt a sharp pain in his arms and legs.

Thanks to Cohen seeing him here just now, he took out a body armor from the special intelligence car for him to wear the mountain, and the body armor had the logo of the special intelligence department, so that Yifei could identify himself in this chaotic environment.

The body armor protected the fatal parts of Yifei's body, and the steel balls and steel nails flying out of the bomb vest were scattered aimlessly everywhere like bullets out of the bomb, and the powerful impact made them unrecognizable everywhere they passed, and those who were close were almost not spared.

The officer and several soldiers around him were knocked to the ground, and the officer's bravery pounced, using his body to resist the flight trajectory of some projectiles and steel nails, but he himself had been beaten to a bloody blur, and he had lost his original appearance, and the soldiers who followed him were not much better, and everyone was shocked and flew out, and fell unconscious in a pool of blood.

The second wave of attacks by the terrorists caused far more damage than the first, with the center of the explosion as the starting point, more than a dozen people fell within the radius of the half-circle, many of them were unconscious, and the shop behind the attackers had been blown to pieces.

Neither staggered to his feet, but fell to the ground before taking two steps forward, everything he saw in his eyes was chaotic, and the buildings around him were revolving around his body.

Many people ran here from all sides, and one of them rushed to the front of him, grabbed his arm and helped him up, vaguely seeing that this person's mouth was moving, but Yifei's ears were constantly buzzing, and he couldn't hear what was being said in this person's mouth, and with the support of that person, he was not reluctant to move to the edge of a flower bed in the center of the square and sat down.

The surrounding scenery gradually stopped turning, and the scenery seen by the eyes was no longer so blurry, but Yifei's nose was still bleeding out, and Yifei raised his hand to wipe the blood that had flowed to the corners of his mouth, and at the same time spit out a mouthful of blood foam from his mouth.

Before the explosion, Lezi and their group of special agents were investigating suspicious people and vehicles, and working with the local police to track down another suspect who had slipped through the net, and when they heard the noise and shouting here, Lezi turned around and saw the scene of Yifei and the surrounding people being blown up.

Looking at Yifei's confused eyes and fluttering steps, Lezi knew that Yifei was shocked, and then put Yifei aside and sat down and roughly checked Yifei's injury, Lezi saw that Yifei was not fatally injured, so he relaxed a little, Yifei's consciousness was still quite clear, and kept signaling Lezi to hurry up and rescue the other victims, seeing that there were ambulances coming in the distance, Lezi raised his hand to signal that there were wounded here, and then turned around and left to help the other victims and wounded.

More and more people joined the ranks to rescue the wounded, the shrill sirens converged here from all directions, two military vehicles full of soldiers rushed to the accident site, and various fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars crowded the few streets that were not very wide.
