Chapter 343: After the Fire
It is always easier to destroy than to build, and it is much easier, an explosion, a fire, a flood, will destroy many things in a devastating manner, easily destroyed.
When the sky was pouring rain and the fire was gradually extinguished, Xu Lang sat down on the cold and damp ground, and a strong tiredness struck, Xu Lang actually fell asleep so deeply, causing a panic among the people around him.
When Xu Lang woke up again, he was woken up by the noisy sound outside, he felt a very painful head, very heavy, and dizzy, in addition, Xu Lang felt pain all over his body, especially his upper body, and his right arm, he felt that his arm was dislocated, and he couldn't use any strength.
Xu Lang opened his eyes, subconsciously observed the surrounding environment, and found that the top of his head was the roof of the car, he should be in the car, Xu Lang struggled to get up, a police uniform slipped off his body, Xu Lang picked it up casually, put it aside, when picking up the police uniform, Xu Lang smelled a faint smell of perfume, this smell is very familiar, it seems to be the perfume that Ning Yanran often uses, Xu Lang's heart moved, could it be that Ning Yanran is back?
However, Xu Lang didn't think much about it, he stood up and stretched out his left hand to pull the car door.
"Whoa."
As the car door was opened, the noise outside became more and more harsh, Xu Lang didn't have time to see what was going on outside, the raindrops were blown in, and Xu Lang's clothes were wet in an instant, and the cold wind blew on Xu Lang's body, making his skin instantly have goosebumps, Xu Lang had to close the car door again, so as not to let the rain in.
"You're awake."
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded from the co-pilot, Xu Lang was stunned, subconsciously raised his head, and looked ahead, he remembered that when he woke up just now, the co-pilot should have no talent, why did someone suddenly appear now?
A very fair, immature and green cheek appeared in Xu Lang's field of vision, Xu Lang was stunned when he saw the woman's face, his brain was still a little confused, his thinking was still a little unable to keep up, he was too tired.
"What's wrong? Don't know me anymore? The woman saw Xu Lang looking at herself with this expression, and asked with a smile.
"Chen Lingxuan?" Xu Lang asked subconsciously.
The woman glanced at Xu Lang, nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very tired." ”
Xu Lang leaned on the seat, looked through the girl's face, and looked ahead, the windshield of the car was constantly washed by the heavy rain, and the rain collected down the glass, so that Xu Lang could not see the outside situation clearly, but Xu Lang still saw a lot of people passing by the front of the car.
"What time is it?" Xu Lang asked.
"Well, it's eleven o'clock."
"Eleven?"
Xu Lang frowned slightly, he remembered that before he passed out, it was just dawn, it should have been around six o'clock, and now it was eleven o'clock, and he slept for five hours, thinking of this, Xu Lang remembered the fire in the mountain, he sat up straight, looked at Chen Lingxuan, and asked, "Has the fire been extinguished?" ”
"It's been extinguished a long time ago."
"Didn't burn into the forest, did you?"
Chen Lingxuan nodded, shook his head again, and said, "The fire in the place where we are didn't burn the forest, but the fire in the village still burned to the back mountain. ”
"Seriously?"
"It's not too serious, it's just that more than half of the back mountain was burned, but because the police arrived in time, they cut down a separation zone in advance, and God also helped, it rained heavily, and the fire was finally extinguished."
Hearing Chen Lingxuan say this, Xu Lang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously asked, "What about the others?" ”
"Most of them, like you, passed out one after another after the fire was extinguished and rested in other police cars."
Hearing this, Xu Lang nodded, then looked at Chen Lingxuan, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why didn't you rest?" ”
"You say me? I rested, but it was too noisy outside, and I was a bit of a bed-conscious person, so I didn't sleep well, and I woke up after a while. Chen Lingxuan looked at Xu Lang and said with some embarrassment.
Xu Lang glanced at Chen Lingxuan and found that her hair was messy and her face was still dusty, but her clothes had already changed, and she was wearing a very ill-fitting police uniform, which looked like a policeman took it off and put it on her.
Seeing Xu Lang looking at him directly, Chen Lingxuan lowered her head a little embarrassed, and her fair cheeks turned red.
She lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Huh? Oh, nothing? ”
Xu Lang came back to his senses and hurriedly shifted his gaze, and the car suddenly fell silent, and an untimely ripple atmosphere spread between the two people.
"Whoa."
Just when both of them felt a little embarrassed, the car door was opened, and a person appeared in front of Xu Lang, she was wearing a raincoat, and the rain dripped down the raincoat on the wet ground.
"You woke up, how did you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable......"
The woman opened the car door and saw that Xu Lang woke up, she was stunned at first, then happy, and then a series of caring words blurted out like a cannon, which made Xu Lang feel warm at the same time, but also more or less
Helpless.
The woman is none other than Ning Yanran, she is back, and the police uniform that Xu Lang was wearing just now is hers.
After Ning Yanran's reminder, Xu Lang looked down at his body, and he found that his upper body was naked, wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and there were gauze wrapped in many places on his body.
Xu Lang raised his head, looking at Ning Yanran's distressed and worried look, he shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm fine, you see, I'm not doing well." ”
Ning Yanran, who was chattering just now, stopped abruptly after hearing Xu Lang say this, and she looked at Xu Lang and was silent.
After looking at it for a long time, Ning Yanran sighed and said: "You are in your thirties, why are you still the same, you don't know how to take care of your body at all, do you know, I... And Xiao Yueyue is worried about you. ”
Xu Lang smiled and said, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
Ning Yanran still wanted to complain about Xu Lang, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the position of the co-pilot, and there was a pair of eyes looking at them curiously, and Ning Yanran immediately swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
"How are you feeling right now?" Ning Yanran changed the topic and asked.
"It's fine."
"In that case, then come with me to see the field bureau, I have something to ask you."
Hearing Ning Yanran mention business, the smile on Xu Lang's face also disappeared, he nodded, and prepared to get out of the car.
"Put your clothes on." Ning Yanran reminded.
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Ning Yanran, and found that the other party was looking at him with a non-negotiable expression, Xu Lang had no choice but to pick up the clothes that should be Ning Yanran and put them on, and then got out of the car, and Ning Yanran opened an umbrella and put it on top of Xu Lang's head.
After Xu Lang got out of the car, the door was also closed, and the two of them walked in the other direction.
Chen Lingxuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, subconsciously wrinkled her good-looking cheeks when she saw Ning Yanran appear, she looked at the backs of Xu Lang and Ning Yanran gradually moving away through the car window, her eyes moved slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
————
After getting out of the car, Xu Lang found that the road was full of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances, and all the staff were wearing simple raincoats, running in the heavy rain, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn.
Xu Lang's current location is opposite Chenjiahe Village, Xu Lang subconsciously stopped, looked at the other side of the river, and found that the originally quiet and peaceful village has become a ruin at this moment, turning into a black piece, under the heavy rain, it looks a little blurry.
The original green forest on the mountain behind the village has also become black and bare, looking very ugly.
The fire had been extinguished, and occasionally white smoke was rising from a few places, Xu Lang squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and he could still see a figure walking there.
Seeing this scene, Xu Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a village that was originally good, in a fire, was reduced to ruins in an instant, and it was always so easy to destroy, so that Xu Lang once again saw the ruthlessness and decisive means of Uncle Li and Chen Weiguo and others.
Xu Lang didn't stay here too long, Ning Yanran took Xu Lang to a simple tent that had been set up temporarily.
After entering the tent, Xu Lang found that the tent was full of people, they were discussing something, and after seeing Xu Lang come in, they stopped talking.
Most of the people in the tent Xu Lang know, there are Tian Yongchun, director of the General Public Security Bureau of S City, Ding Haoqiong, deputy head of CSY, the first criminal investigation team facing Fang Quan, and the directors of the four district bureaus of S City, in addition, there are also the captain of the special police team, the captain of the armed police brigade, the mayor and secretary of S City, in addition, there are also the director of the Provincial Public Security Department Du and the captain of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Brigade He Yongzhi, in addition to this time, there are also the captains of the fire brigade, of course, there are other people Xu Lang does not know, and the few people Xu Lang met in the deep mountains of Chenjiahe Village are also there, They sat next to Director Du, and it seemed that their positions were not low.
After seeing Xu Lang come in, Director Du and Director Tian all stood up, looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Xu Lang, are you okay?" ”
Xu Lang shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay." ”
Director Tian nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Although Director Du did not speak, he was also relieved the moment he saw Xu Lang.
Next, other people who were familiar with Xu Lang said hello to Xu Lang one after another, and the temporary command post that had been quiet suddenly became lively.
While Xu Lang was talking to them, his eyes looked at the men sitting next to Director Du from time to time, they were looking at themselves with a very indifferent look, when Xu Lang looked at them, they did not shift their gaze, but looked at Xu Lang, which made Xu Lang a little puzzled.
After a brief greeting, everyone returned to the previous discussion, and Xu Lang naturally didn't interject because he had just woken up and didn't know the specific situation, but found an empty seat to sit down and listen to their discussion.
After listening to the discussion of Director Tian and others, Xu Lang learned the specific situation at the scene.
Chenjiahe Village is already there
The field was obviously burned in the arson fire, the houses in the village are basically made of wood, although the walls are bricks, but there are no steel bars added to them, in this fire, the wood has been burned, and the walls have also collapsed, after the fire was extinguished, someone has entered the scene, carried out survey work, and found that although the village was burned, however, no human corpses were found in the village, however, many animal corpses were found, and these animals were raised poultry.
When the fire burned, the people of the village left, and it is not known where it went.
After Tian Yongchun and they arrived at the scene, they organized a fire-fighting operation and launched a search and arrest work, but because the fire was very large at that time, they were worried that the fire would spread to the forest behind the village, so the first time was not to arrest the suspect, but to fight the fire, and only after the fire was almost extinguished, the search and arrest work was carried out, and because of this, Uncle Li was given enough time to escape, and the police searched several surrounding mountains, and there were no new clues to pass back for the time being. The search continues.
After finding Xu Lang and them, they knew the direction of the cave from Lai Pi and their mouths, and the police immediately rushed to the cave, and found that although there was no fire in the cave, but no one was found at the scene, except for the thatched houses, the police found a lot of animal corpses at the scene, these animals were directly killed by people, these animals are not poultry raised, but some wild protected animals, when the police found them, these animals were reduced to a cold corpse.
The police went to the cave to search, but did not find anyone, most of the things in the cave were taken away, said to be taken away, in fact, there was nothing in the cave, except for some homemade cages used to hold people, there was not much else.
There was not much found in the cave, and on the side where Xu Lang and they were fighting the fire, after the fire was extinguished, the police also conducted an investigation at the scene.
A lot of corpses were also found at the scene, in addition to the corpses of many animals, there were also human bones, however, most of the corpses were burned by the high temperature and carbonized, and some of the corpses were glued together, and it was impossible to distinguish which were human corpses and which were animal corpses.
However, according to the preliminary judgment, in the place where Xu Lang and them were, a total of six corpses were found, and not far from the scene, there was also a cave with the same cave where Lai Pi was held before, in the cave, the police found a large number of traces of people living there, and a lot of daily necessities were placed in it, and these things were not damaged, and when the police conducted a preliminary survey of the cave, a pit was found in the innermost part of the cave, and in the pit a large number of human bones were found. The bones were all ossified and appeared to have been dead for a long time, and according to the preliminary autopsy of the corpses by the forensic doctor, these people did not die of natural causes, but were killed, and the bones on their necks were found to have been cut with sharp weapons, and according to the examination of the corpses, the victims were all women.
The tunnel is very large, there are many bones, and the police are still cleaning up, but there are already 12 corpses that have been cleaned up so far, and as for whether there are more corpses, we need to wait for further cleaning to know.
Referring to the corpse at the scene, Xu Lang suddenly remembered that after the fire, he had taken the risk to rescue a pregnant woman who was pregnant and almost killed.
So, Xu Lang turned his head and asked Ding Haoqiong beside him, "By the way, did you find a survivor at the scene?" ”
Ding Haoqiong nodded and said, "Oh, you're talking about that pregnant woman, right?" ”
Xu Lang nodded and asked, "How is she?" Still alive? ”
"The specific situation is not known, the pregnant woman's collarbone was cut with a sharp weapon, the wound was very deep, and there was a lot of bleeding, but, fortunately, someone did first aid treatment, when we arrived, the pregnant woman was just unconscious, and then, she was sent to the ambulance by us, although the wound was very deep, but not fatal, it was just excessive blood loss, and there should be no danger to life."
Hearing Ding Haoqiong say this, Xu Lang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no danger to his life.
However, Ding Haoqiong's words then made Xu Lang's heart that he had just put down lifts again.
"The pregnant woman is thirty-six weeks pregnant, not far from labor, it may be that the pregnant woman herself was attacked, plus she was overfrightened, she had a premature birth, although, when we found her, this sign was not obvious, but, when she was sent to the ambulance, the amniotic water broke, I don't know if she can survive, even if she can survive, it is estimated that the child will not be saved, hey...... It is iniquity. ”
In the end, Ding Haoqiong sighed.
This is not good news, the pregnant woman is the only survivor of this incident, and many follow-up investigations still need her cooperation, if she dies, then, for the police to investigate the next will definitely bring trouble, now Chen Weiguo and others have escaped, and they have not been caught for the time being, then, the breakthrough can only be opened from this pregnant woman, it can be said that this pregnant woman is very important to the police.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang's face became very gloomy, and there were bursts of stinging pain on his body, that was where Xu Lang was burned by the fire when he was desperately trying to save the pregnant woman, was everything he did in vain? This made it difficult for Xu Lang to accept this fact.
