Chapter 063: Strange Smell
"Brother Chen, look!!" a police officer called out to Zhou Chen.
Everyone's eyes, including Xue Xiao and Ling Shaoqiu, were drawn over there.
The crowd followed the officer to the other side, and looked down from the place where the officer was pointing, only to find that the explosion damage at the top of the side wall of the bridge was particularly bad.
The stone used for the bridge is particularly strong, but a large piece of stone has been blown off the side wall under the bridge, and even a large area has been blown away at the edge of the bottom side of the bridge.
Moreover, from top to bottom on the side wall of the bridgehead, there are large traces of blackening by the fire that exploded, which is particularly obvious, and the range has been spreading to the center of the side wall and has to be cut down.
Although they are only at the head of the bridge, the three cars are parked at the edge of the bridge.
The distance between the side wall of the bridge and the river below the bridge is very high, and if the explosion is on the road surface of the bridge head or in the car, the explosion will not reach the area below the center of the side wall in any case
Unless someone threw it off the bridge at the moment of the explosion, the thing exploded at the very top of the sidewall below the bridgehead, and the explosion range spread all the way to the position below the center of the sidewall.
After the explosion, the flames spread upwards and burned the body, causing the vehicle to explode.
Zhou Chen looked at the scene with a thoughtful expression: "In this way, there is only one possibility, the young officer and Mr. Gu who disappeared, as well as the cold-looking female gangster, should have fallen into the turbulent river below along the side wall below the bridge head due to the explosion." ”
When everyone heard Zhou Chen's words, they couldn't help but gasp: such a high distance, such a serious explosion, if it falls from here, is there any chance of survival?
The ambulance arrived quickly, and the team that Zhou Chen requested for support also arrived at the scene almost simultaneously with the ambulance.
The seriously injured unconscious Ling Youyou and two other police officers who were still unconscious were put into the ambulance.
Xue Xiao saw Ling Youyou get into the ambulance, and his hanging heart was half down, and when he heard the analysis of Officer Zhou and others just now, he guessed that Teacher Gu and they might have fallen into the river, and Xue Xiao's heart hung again.
She didn't want anything to happen to Gu Moxi in her heart, especially the reason why Gu Moxi came here today was because of her.
Somehow, Xue Xiao seemed to have a vague picture of Gu Moxi lying there in a deep jungle in a dense jungle.
"Brother Shao Qiu, you go over to take care of Youyou first, I want to search with Officer Zhou and them, no matter what, Teacher Gu was implicated for no reason today because of me. Xue Xiao said to Ling Shaoqiu, who was going to take her with the ambulance.
"Xiaoxiao, you've been tired enough in the past two days, and today you've been frightened again and again. Your face is already very bad now, why don't you go back and rest for a while? Ling Shaoqiu looked at Xue Xiao's pale face and was a little disapproving.
But Xue Xiao has always been stubborn, and he doesn't want to see anyone tired because of himself. And there is something hanging in her heart, she can't rest well no matter what, it is better to participate in their actions, so as to know the news as soon as possible. Whatever the end result, it's better than sitting in a room anxiously waiting.
And during the search, maybe she could still catch some details from it.
Ling Shaoqiu saw that she couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to give up.
Ling Shaoqiu originally wanted to accompany Xue Xiao, but Youyou was injured, and the Ling family also needed him to deal with it, especially how to hide it from his mother.
At the moment, Ling Shaoqiu really couldn't accompany Xue Xiao, so he could only let Xue Xiao stay, and he followed the ambulance first.
With a support team joining the police force, everyone quickly divided the work to investigate the scene one by one and make notes, especially Ling Youyou's car, which was particularly careful.
The explosion caused a lot of shock, so it inevitably attracted the media, and in order to protect the scene, all the media reporters who came with the support police team were stopped 150 meters away.
The on-site investigation and recording here are still continuing, Zhou Chen is also arranging manpower and material resources to prepare to go down to the river to find people, and Xue Xiao has also applied for a set of equipment and is ready to follow them.
Originally, Zhou Chen was reluctant to let a girl who looked petite and weak follow them, but seeing that Xue Xiao had been insisting, and repeatedly assured that his physical strength was okay and would not hold them back, Zhou Chen reluctantly agreed to take Xue Xiao with him.
After the surrounding firelight gradually dissipated and the high temperature caused by the explosion gradually subsided, Xue Xiao was extremely keen to smell a special smell spreading in the air. She asked Zhou Chen and the others if they had seen the smell, but after a closer look, the others said that they didn't smell anything other than the smell of burnt paste.
Everyone's answer made Xue Xiao a little puzzled, her facial features were very sharp, and there was definitely an indescribable smell in the air, and she didn't smell it wrong.
Xue Xiao felt the source of the smell suspiciously, and walked to Ling Youyou's car that was blown up, and he couldn't see the car at all, and it was blackened by the fire, Xue Xiao only felt that the smell was stronger.
"Officer Zhou——!" Xue Xiao shouted at Zhou Chen.
"Miss Xue, is there something wrong?" Zhou Chen walked over to Xue Xiao's side.
"Officer Zhou, do you smell it carefully, is there any other smell in this car?" Xue Xiao looked at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen sniffed it carefully, but still didn't smell any special smell, and couldn't help but wonder for a while: "Sister Xue Xiao, I really didn't smell the smell you said, what kind of smell did you smell?"
Xue Xiao really felt that this smell made her feel very difficult to describe, and after thinking about it carefully, she said: "It seems to be a fragrant fragrance, but it is not completely fragrant, it is slightly pungent, and it feels... The smell was mixed with a faint smell of blood, but it wasn't very obvious. ”
Zhou Chen's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this: "The smell of blood is understandable, after all, the officer killed the gun-wielding gangster in the car, but the smell is strange, and now there is a smell of burnt paste everywhere, where does the smell come from?"
Xue Xiao saw that Zhou Chen and the others really couldn't smell this smell, and felt even more strange, why did she smell it?
Xue Xiao thought of the speculation Gu Moxi made in the tea room: the kidnappers seemed to want to drive the vehicle to the bridge and detonate it, and crash into the river under the bridge, washing away some evidence, combined with the smell that Xue Xiao smelled now, she faintly guessed in her heart that maybe this was the evidence that the kidnappers wanted to destroy.
What kind of evidence has to be blown up, not to mention washed by the rushing river?
Come to think of it, smell is one of them.
Although Zhou Chen didn't smell what Xue Xiao said, he also thought of what Xue Xiao was thinking about just now, so he still paid attention to this matter, and ordered someone to carefully search the car inside and out, and protect every item in the car, even if it had been blown to pieces.
When everything at the scene was almost cleaned up, the life jackets, assault boats, inflatable boats and other equipment that Zhou Chen ordered were sent directly to the river under the bridge.
Some people were left at the scene to deal with the aftermath, and Zhou Chen and the other rescue teams, including Xue Xiao, also slowly descended along the side wall of the bridgehead and arrived at the boat, ready to search for Jian Yi and Gu Moxi, who had disappeared.
Although everyone thinks that the possibility of the two of them surviving is not very good, nothing can be said for sure, as long as the body is not seen, there is still hope.
Even if the two really don't survive, they have to be found!
The rescue team first searched carefully under the bridge, including the bottom of the river, and found no trace of the two people, so they continued to look down in the direction of the river.
Xue Xiao followed the rescue team all the way to observe and search carefully, and it has been a full five hours since she came out of Xue's house, to knowing that Ling Youyou was missing, that there was an explosion on the flyover, and now to participating in the police search and rescue operation.
Xue Xiao spent these five hours as if she was in a war, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the outside world at all, of course, she didn't know that the outside world was full of the Xue family, especially the big and small news about her, which had already made headlines.
Although her name has been prominently hanging on the headlines for the past two days, it is all about her bad side.
This time is different, the news and rumors in the outside world are all sympathetic to her, and even some people who have spoken ill of Xue Xiao issued an apology statement on the Internet, indicating that they should not be deceived by appearances and follow the trend to bully an innocent and weak girl or something.
Xue Xiao was still following Zhou Chen and the others downstream to find Gu Moxi and Jian Yi, and on the other side, Jian Yi was dragging the wet Gu Moxi to a clean green lawn on the river.
According to Jian Yi's judgment, this location is estimated to be four or five kilometers downstream of the river, and the speed of the river is really not ordinary.
He and Gu Moxi chased the strange woman all the way down the river.
Fortunately, the river was not too deep, and he and Gu Moxi tried to stabilize their bodies and walk upright, so that they would not be completely submerged, but because of the impact of the river, they were still washed to this place.
After sitting down on the lawn, Jian Yi looked at Gu Moxi and said, "I never expected that woman not only has good skills and amazing strength, but also is so proficient in water, as if she was born to live in water, and looking at that body shape and swimming movements, she is like a soft water snake, is there such a level of martial arts in the world?"
After Jian Yi finished asking, Gu Moxi beside him didn't make a sound for a long time, Jian Yi turned his head and saw that Gu Moxi's eyes were a little dull, and he fell into contemplation, and the expression on his face was even stranger, as if he was forbearing, and as if he was restrained.
"Hey!!Gu Moxi, you kid won't be bad, right? This little injury won't hurt unbearably for you, right?What is the expression on your face?When did you become so squeamish?" Jian Yi looked at Gu Moxi's chest due to the impact of the explosion, some skin and flesh flew up, and it was soaked in the water with a slightly whitish wound.
Gu Moxi was pulled back to her senses by Jian Yi's poisonous tongue, glanced at Jian Yi blankly, and did not answer Jian Yi's question just now.
This little injury is really nothing to him, but Gu Moxi was too shocked to see the woman's appearance in the water, which was very similar to Dong Qi after being evolved by Xue Xiao's blood in his previous life.
It's just that Dong Qi is much stronger than her, Dong Qi is not only amazingly fast in the water and on the shore, but also the wound will heal automatically after being injured, it is simply an existence beyond normal humans, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a monster.
But shouldn't such a strange result be six years from now, and why is it being seen by him now?
The forbearance and restraint on Gu Moxi's face that Jian Yi saw just now was not enduring pain, but enduring fear.
