Chapter 20: The Finale (Part II)
Yan Junli didn't have time to say more, he grabbed Li Hong and jumped down. γLatest chapter reading. There was a pitch-black abyss beneath their feet, and they couldn't see anything at all, and the fear of death enveloped them for a moment, but before the fear could deepen, they fell heavily into the water.
The water close to freezing suddenly flooded the whole body of the two people, and Yan Junli suddenly shook his head out of the water.
Both the phone and the flashlight were lost during the chaotic fight, and in the darkness, Yan Junli could only see a vague silhouette of a figure above.
"Wen Bin! Come downβ" Yan Junli shouted at the vague figure, but before his final note could fall......
A huge fire exploded violently, instantly illuminating the dark passage as bright as day, a huge explosion roared, mixed with the sound of a short circuit in electronic equipment, and the thick fiber optic cable was completely blown up, and the broken half shook in the air, with a dazzling spark.
"No, no, no! Moon Bin!! Yan Junli rushed towards the explosion without thinking about it, and the vibration generated by the explosion set off waves in the entire pool, and through the blurred mist in front of him, Yan Junli saw Yang Wenbin fall from a high place into the pool, setting off a huge wave.
"Strict team! Come back! We're going to be swept out of here! Li Hong shouted at Yan Junli's back.
Yan Junli plunged into the water one by one, and pulled Yang Wenbin, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, out of the explosion range, and hugged him tightly in his arms. At the same time, the huge wave generated by the explosion actually broke the originally closed iron railing, and the water continued to rush outward. Yan Junli and Li Hong didn't have time to think about it, and they were washed out of this nightmare place by following this current.
The huge artificial intelligence computer continued to whine under the impact of the explosion, and the light from the internal parts was extinguished one by one, and finally all of them dimmed. The entire sewer pipe was affected by the explosion, and began to collapse under the constant reverberating vibrations, and with the shouts of the Sand Eagle agents, the entire place finally collapsed on the corpse of the huge computer.
At this time, the sun was slowly rising, and the gentle light was shining on the buildings of the city, and the rainstorm gradually became smaller until it stopped. It soon became clear that all the system's power supply and communications facilities were back to normal, and the long, long night was finally over. The people who were killed began to contact their families and friends, and the police who had lost contact with them quickly restored their original order. The robbers and thieves who blocked the road fled in all directions, but the vast majority of them were immediately arrested by the nearby police.
The city was still in shambles, but the sun was starting to rise.
Yan Junli and the others were washed to the ground by the fierce current, and he tried his best to drag Yang Wenbin out of the sewer pipe, Li Hong soon fell unconscious, and Yan Junli's consciousness had begun to blur.
At this time, in a trance, it seemed that someone had come to him. But Yan Junli was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyelids.
"Three hundred and twenty-four." The man said slowly, "Three hundred and twenty-four people. I do have counted them. β
Before Yan Junli could react to what he meant, he lost consciousness.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Soon after, the three of them were spotted and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible. Yan Junli and Li Hong both woke up quickly, and the injury on Yan Junli's arm was almost healed within a few days. Only Yang Wenbin, although he was fortunate to pick up a life, he always fell into a deep coma and had no intention of waking up.
On TV, the news is gushing up:
"According to the front reporter, last night's citywide power outage was likely caused by this rare huge thunderstorm that cut the signal tower, and now the city's power supply and communication have returned to normal, please don't panic. Last night, many robbers and criminals took advantage of the chaos, causing property damage to many residents and even threatening their personal safety, and we would like to bring greetings from the city government and the public security organs, as well as sincere apologies to all citizens......
"Take care of yourself." The handcuffs in Yan Junli's hands "clicked" and were cuffed on Li Hong's wrists, "You helped us a lot at the last moment, I promise you, I will do my best to help you reduce your sentence." β
Li Hong showed a big smile, "Hey, it doesn't matter if the sentence is reduced or not, I know this is what I deserve." I should say that I have been taken care of too much by you and Dr. Yang. But you have to take care of yourself, take care of the bureau, if Doctor Yang can't wake up, you have to take care of Doctor Yang. β
Yan Junli nodded, and suddenly remembered something and said, "It's called Director Yan." β
Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a smile, he stood upright, and his handcuffed hands saluted Yan Junli with a twisted salute, "Yes, Director Yan!" β
In the end, Li Hong was still taken away. Only Yan Junli was left standing alone, looking at the direction he was leaving, and watched for a long time.
"I sent Xiaohong away." Yan Junli sat beside Yang Wenbin's bed, looked at the drip next to the bed and the breathing mask on Yang Wenbin's face, and said slowly, "He asked me if there would be fried chicken in the prison meal." I said no, but I can bring you some when I visit you every week. He was happy. I'll try to get him a reduced sentence, but even if he gets out of prison, he won't be able to continue to be a police officer for the rest of his life. β
"Speaking of being a police officer. Wen Bin, Li Wenyao has retired, and I have officially become the director of the C City Public Security Bureau. As for the captain of the criminal investigation team, I promoted Wang Jian, that kid is very serious and careful, he should be able to do this position. And then...... The city is back to normal now, and it should be said that it is even better than before. We've caught a lot of people who took advantage of the chaos that night, and now they're all squatting in the bureau. But I suspect that Ye Heshuo is not dead, and after we escaped that day, I vaguely seemed to see him standing in front of me and talking to me. But he didn't kill me, he didn't touch any of us, he just left. I don't know exactly where he went, but he seems to have left the city with his men. β
"There were a lot of deaths that night, but we have suppressed everything we can and told the families of the dead that the robbers did it. I know it doesn't seem good, but you know that sometimes it's better to know the truth than to keep it in the dark. I'd rather let the citizens of City C live their carefree little lives. Yan Junli stretched out his hand and put Yang Wenbin's cold palm in his palm, "By the way, there is also the fact that we have found the body of the poppy." We also managed to get in touch with the orphanage where she used to live, and she was buried on the hill behind the orphanage. Honestly, I don't know if it will soothe her soul, but as far as I know, it's the only place she can call home. β
And then there was Xia Baiyan...... We can't find his body, he seems to have blown himself to pieces. But we found several of his accommodations, from old apartments, dirty basements, to luxurious cottages. Can you imagine? He has a cabinet full of superhero comic books in every home. Yes, it's hard to imagine that someone like him would like superheroes. And you might say, 'Oh, a madman like him must like all sorts of supervillains like Joker,' but it's not. He loves Superman, and his full cabinet is full of Superman's comic books, arranged chronologically from left to right. β
"So I ended up arranging for someone to put his comic book up, and I thought maybe when you woke up you'd want to flip through it." Yan Junli let out a long sigh, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead against the soft mattress. Yang Wenbin on the hospital bed had a calm expression and breathing very steadily, looking as if he was asleep.
"The doctor said that your body has now fallen into a deep coma, and it is not strange when you wake up, but it is not strange that you have not been able to wake up, and he said that it depends on your own will, to see if you are willing to wake up." Yan Junli held Yang Wenbin's cold hand with both hands, and his eyes gradually turned red, "Actually, I am grateful that you can still have a life in that situation." But Wen Bin... It's been a week... I really, I really can't imagine what I'd do if you couldn't wake up. You are the best doctor, the smartest detective, the most courageous man, and the best, best partner I've ever met. I really don't know what I'm not going to do anymore with you. β
As he spoke, Yan Junli choked up, but he tried to keep his tears from flowing. He took a deep breath.
"Oh my God. If I was given another chance, I swear I would never run away from anything again. β
But Yang Wenbin still closed his eyes and breathed steadily, as if nothing had happened.
Yan Junli sighed deeply, wiped his wet eyes, and stood up. He still has work to do, and he has to go back to the police station to finish a lot of finishing touches.
He walked to the door, thinking about coming to see Yang Wenbin again in the afternoon and asking the doctor if there were any nursing matters to pay attention to. After all, he has to be prepared to take care of Yang Wenbin all the time......
But it was at this time that a faint voice suddenly came from behind him.
"I hear you. Don't think about going back. β
Yan Junli was stunned in place, and before he even looked back, he couldn't help but show a surprised smile on his face.
