Eventually, the freighter, laden with explosives, exploded violently in the bay of the Xiacheng Peninsula, destroying most of the coastal area of the Xiacheng Peninsula and penetrating about a kilometer inland. The shock wave of the explosion, the various debris it excepted, the resulting fire or the collapsed building killed about two thousand people, and it is estimated that nearly 10,000 more were injured.

Almost all buildings within a kilometer radius were destroyed. The blast blast broke trees and bent railroad tracks, making it difficult for subsequent rescue operations to enter. The entire harbor of the city across the bay from the Xiacheng Peninsula was also extensively damaged. The windows of many buildings in the small town, 100 kilometers away, were shattered.

Historically, this explosion on the Xiacheng Peninsula was the most intense, tragic and costly man-made explosion before the development of nuclear weapons, releasing about 2,900 tons of TNT explosive equivalent. It was almost equivalent to destroying the most prosperous summer city on the east coast of Canada at that time.

However, in this way, most of the important ritual nodes on the Xia Cheng Peninsula were also destroyed, and the ritual was forced to be interrupted, and the energy of the backlash instantly caused the antique dealer who performed this ritual to explode into a cloud of blood mist in an instant.

——————————

The story made three reporters stunned, and the story was simple to narrate, but considering the background of that period and the big family of Xiande, it must be more than enough to make a series of more than three seasons with real content.

Although Anne and Victor are foreign students, they have also seen the records of the explosion in various places such as the Maritime Museum by the Sea of Xiacheng, the Military Museum in the Civic Park, and the Natural History Museum in the city, which is an indispensable link in the history of Xiacheng.

Betty, on the other hand, is a local and knows the history of the Big Bang by heart, as the older generation of the local population talks about it from time to time. Things like, "My house didn't fall in the big bang," "My grandfather died in that big bang when I was 10 years old," and so on......

"Is this going to rewrite history?" Betty's red lips trembled for a long time, and finally she could hold back the sentence.

Xiande smiled slightly: "Your news center, do you dare to write about this matter?" ”

Betty shook her head again and again, this thing, even if it was written, would probably be scolded back by the editor-in-chief Charlie. Even if Charlie's nerves made a mistake to get the manuscript passed, their editorial office would be flooded with readers' saliva the next day after it was sent.

The truth of history is sometimes so magical.

In official historical records, the explosion was caused by a collision between a French munitions ship loaded with 5,000 tons of ammunition and explosives and a Belgian rescue ship in the bay. The different languages and command habits of the two ships led to misoperation of the crew, which caused friction in the hull and damage to the power pipes, which caused the explosion.

"But," Victor pointed to Anne, "it's called the Mystery Version......

"Uh," Xiande laughed dryly, "your news center, there is still a secret section?" ”

Yi Annie nodded helplessly: "I probably won't write this story, after last week's experience, I obviously plan to write something less terrifying!" ”

The last sentence, Yi Annie almost shouted.

She lamented: "So history is over, what is the situation this time?" Let me start by saying that Betty and I were just downstairs and saw almost all of the people who died in this killing. ”

"Oh!" The ones who were surprised were Victor, Xiande, and the police officer.

Anne looked at Inferno's unchanged complexion and suspected that his face had been shaped by beauty needles.

Xiande shook his head: "The focus of the matter that the family asked me to solve had nothing to do with this murder incident at all, but in fact, this murderer is indeed a member of our family, and he has the direct bloodline of the antique dealer back then. In addition, there was something probably wrong with the underground garage of the apartment building, which we discovered during the construction of the apartment building, so by that time, the construction workers had already evacuated the construction site, and only then did the murderer run in. ”

After a pause, Xiande continued: "Therefore, we judged that this was actually the same thing, so we asked Mr. Inferno, who had worked with the family, to help solve the task assigned to me by the family, and solve this incident by the way. ”

Betty asked, "What is the task that your family has given you?" What happened to the underground garage? ”

Yi Annie was a little puzzled: "I only remembered at this time, when I was looking for a ghost downstairs just now, I didn't find a passage to the underground garage?" ”

Betty thought about it and realized the problem. There is always a shortage of parking spaces in Summer City, so most of the new buildings will have underground parking lots. And it seems that structurally speaking, this apartment building should also have an underground parking lot, but I didn't notice the corridor leading to the underground on the first floor of the apartment before.

Xiande nodded: "As soon as it happened, we evacuated all personnel and closed the entrance to the underground garage. ”

This resolute behavior made Yi Annie, who has watched a lot of horror movies, agree, this family's style seems to be like this, even a hundred years ago to do such a big thing as bombing Xia City, worthy of a warlord family, do not treat people as a big capitalist.

Xiande came to Summer City with a mission.

A hundred years ago, after the big explosion, the family naturally went all out to rescue the residents of Xia City, and at the same time, the nodes of the search ritual were destroyed.

It's a pity that the antique dealer destroyed the item with the ritual record, so no one knows how many nodes there are and where they are.

At that time, Xia City was full of dead and wounded residents, so the family's dragnet search could also be hidden. When a node was dug up and the body inside was lifted, people nearby thought that it was just someone buried by the dirt and buildings kicked up by the explosion.

From this point of view, the statistics of the death toll of the explosion at that time were watery, and hundreds of the more than 2,000 residents who died or went missing were actually buried alive before the explosion.

Although the family had searched every inch of Xia City as much as possible at that time, it was still very likely that something was missed.

It is also amazing that when the family's personnel were rescuing people in the affected residential areas on the Xiacheng Peninsula and near the bay, they unexpectedly discovered an aboriginal settlement near a certain coast. At that time, the aborigines lived in a lower status than any other category of immigrants, so they were immediately arrested.

Through some interrogation and searching, it was revealed that the "ruins" near Changhu were secretly created by them, in order to avenge the army led by Xiande's family for the ravages of the aborigines of this land.

Unfortunately, the person who presided over the "ruin" event also died due to the ritual backlash, and the family was unable to get any more information.

It can be regarded as karma, originally their gathering area was not within the scope of the originally planned explosion, but under the operation of the doctor, they blew up hundreds of people who were killed as human animals.

According to the practice at that time, except for a few who were shot on the spot, the rest of the people were transported to the inland to build a railway.

In short, although the family later tried their best to make up for Xia Cheng's losses, this incident also became a stain on the family. Therefore, they were sent by the Queen of England to the inland areas to develop and build in difficult places.

It took nearly thirty years for Xia Cheng to regain its former prosperity.

For a hundred years, someone in the family has been studying this event. And in recent years, the Canadian government has also begun to promote exchanges between indigenous people and economic development areas living in the Northwest Provinces.

As a result, family research on this has also made great progress.

Then I found out that the node of this incident that was like a fish in the throat has not been cleaned up!

It just so happened that Xiande was preparing to go to Xia City to build a large number of buildings, so he handed over the work of cleaning up the remaining nodes and quitting future troubles. Although Xiande is still very young, many of the projects he has invested in have obtained rich returns, so the family is also very reassuring about him.

As for the construction site, it started to happen last week.

Workers who built the underground parking lot of an apartment building are missing.

At first it was thought that there was only one person, but according to the worker's family, he inexplicably said that he was going out the night before, asked him where he was going, and then went away and never returned.

The manager of the construction site didn't think about anything, but thought that the worker might have gone to a bar with friends in the middle of the night to drink, and then got drunk in some corner, and then showed up in a day.

As a result, by lunchtime, the other two workers in charge of the underground parking lot, as well as the supervisor, did not come up from the basement to eat on the construction site.

The administrator sent a small worker to the underground parking lot to call someone, but the small worker did not return, and the phone could not be reached.

This is enough to explain the problem, a worker thinks that there is no homicide below, and intends to gather a group of people to go down to see.

The caretaker is Xiande's man, and he knows a little about Xiande's main purpose for coming to Summer City, so he stops the workers who want to go to the underground parking lot, and then reports the matter to Xiande.

Xiande knew that the construction site of Changhu Park was the place where the "ruins" of man-made aborigines had been dug up, and he immediately suspected that this was a mysterious incident, so regardless of the lives of several people in the underground garage, he asked the construction workers to close all the entrances to the underground garage, and then the construction site was stopped.

Although the workers were dissatisfied, they had no resistance under the money offensive, and they did not even show up to make trouble for the missing people, and they did not know how much it would cost to do so.

After that, only two days later, the so-called "worst serial murder in North America in decades" occurred in Xia City.

For a while, the workers who had been asked to stop work suddenly extinguished their anger. If the frenzied murderer had been building a house when he ran into the construction site, the death toll would have been in the tens of the estimates.
