The captain and the rescuers arrived quickly, nearly 100 police officers were fully armed, and they also carried a lot of combustion equipment. They organized people to go down to the cave overnight, and soon the news came -

Below is a natural dark hole more than ten meters deep, the space is not small, two "insect kings" are deep in the salt pile, have been dehydrated and died, those "tentacles" and the larvae on the car are also mostly buried in the sea of salt and fire, only a few half-dead, burned into black ash by colleagues.

I was more concerned about Tong Liu, but they said that there was no one under the cave, only a corner of Tong Liu's clothes, which was stained with blood. I didn't believe it at all, so I went down to see it in person, and sure enough, there was no trace of Tong Liu.

In the car, under the salt pile, and on the cave wall, I searched for it several times, and even the corpses of the two "insect kings" were dissected by me, but there was still no clue. In the end, I found a few small holes and branches, but the holes were not as big as a bowl, and even a child could not get into them.

At the same time, I was amazed, and my heart was secretly cold, unless......

"Unless, Teacher Tong was occupied by the 'bugs' into a 'host', dismembered into several pieces, and drilled into a small hole!" Du Longbiao shouted unabashedly, and when he saw that my face was ugly, he didn't dare to say anything further.

The captain immediately ordered the men to dig small holes, but most of them came to the end after a few spades, and only one became thinner and thinner, and when explored with earth, it led deep into the ground, as if there was no end......

In fact, we all know that it is futile to dig any further, how can a good and decent living person hide here? Not giving up easily, just a kind of comfort in the heart. But even if I can dig up something, I'm afraid it's no different from what Du Longbiao said, I don't dare to think about it anymore......

After consulting Professor Tong's opinion, the captain asked people to pour a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid into the small hole, and if there were really larvae and "tentacles" of the "emperor leech" to get into it, it would be considered to have completely cut off their way of life.

At dawn, colleagues withdrew one after another, and finally there were only a few people left at the bottom of the cave, Professor Tong whimpered and said a lot to me, I didn't listen to a word, Du Longbiao nested in a corner and smoked violently, the captain glanced at the two of us, sighed, turned around and left. Tong Yang was like a child, holding his legs and crying, I wanted to go over and punch him twice, but I didn't do it.

……

The team gave me a holiday, let me recuperate for 20 days, during which I have been inquiring about the affairs of the lake, and learned that all levels of the province have attached great importance to it, and organized all aspects of the force to carry out the aftermath work, not only carried out a carpet search on the lake, but also set up a long-term monitoring station in a radius of dozens of kilometers in the place where the incident occurred.

The soldiers who were transporting the cards were no longer missing; Lao Xuetou'er's village was completely deserted, those villagers who had fled had fled had been resettled, some village cadres who had concealed and failed to report had been held accountable, and township and town chiefs had also suffered......

Later, I heard that with the help of Professor Tong and them, the search team did trap a few "mutated" fish, all of which were exterminated by absolute means.

It's just that there is no news from Tong Liu.

A month later, the team's decision on the rewards and punishments for our group came down. Originally, it was not an exaggeration for us to be credited with the collective first-class merit, but I don't know which tabloid who wanted to be famous and wanted to go crazy jumped out - according to their "in-depth" investigation, they found out that our team was seriously derelict in this mission, and the spearhead was directly pointed at "off-duty and omission" and "dereliction of duty" - this is a bit like the current "Internet trolls", no matter how right and good you are, when everyone praises the results, they criticize the process; When everyone praised the process, they scolded the results. There were, and there are many such people in the past, and there will be no fewer in the future.

As a result, Lao Luo and Qi Yemin have become the direct points to the "serious problem of dereliction of responsibility". The provincial and municipal bureaus also had to send special investigation teams, in fact, everyone knew very well that even if there was no "dereliction of duty" that night, the situation would not necessarily be much better.

But it is always necessary to keep the tabloid's mouth shut, and this "black cauldron" must be carried by someone, even if it is symbolically put on a board after the reward. Even the captain volunteered to take the "pot", but Qi Yemin was very righteous and wanted to carry all the mistakes on his shoulders, and in the end it was the leader of the county bureau who spoke-Lao Luo had already crossed the county bureau before his sacrifice and asked someone to secretly submit the "review report" to the city bureau, for fear of delaying the future of you young people......

Qi Yemin cried when he heard it. Du Longbiao also smashed a table with hatred, "Damn! Still unreasonable?! Are they all blind? Can't see why Lao Luo died?! ”

Lao Luo was temporarily postponed as a martyr, but he and Da Liu's memorial service still went to a lot of people, the leaders of the provincial bureau and the municipal bureau came, my sister cried and fainted several times at the scene, and her daughter hugged her father's portrait with a wooden expression, obviously unable to wake up from the huge grief.

Du Longbiao and Tong Yang and I were awarded special awards, and we directly crossed the internship period, and it is said that the decision to be promoted to the post was also down. Subsequently, let us prepare our presentation materials and intend to report on advanced deeds throughout the province in order to amplify our positive impact with powerful words. Of course, the content of the speech must not mention any paleontology, emperor leeches, and other sensitive information, and should focus on carrying forward the spirit of dedication.

My sister didn't see anyone alive or dead, and Tong Yang was naturally depressed, but he still wrote and scratched on the manuscript paper every day, and prepared very seriously.

Du Longbiao's anger became bigger and bigger, and he shouted from morning to night, "Whoever the is willing to go, anyway, if you don't 'rehabilitate' Lao Luo, I will fight to the end, if the county bureau can't do it, the city bureau will be the city bureau, and the city bureau will be in the province if it is not used!" Every time he saw our captain, he asked, "Which tabloid is smearing us?!" I'm going to set fire to their newspaper! ”

The question I ask the most is, is Lao Luo's matter very troublesome?

Judging from the answers of all parties, it is true, and now that we are on the cusp, Lao Luo's decision on rewards and punishments has to be put aside first, and when the limelight is over, it is not too late to recognize and reward internally.

Moreover, from the provincial bureau to the county bureau, they were also a little too busy to take care of themselves, and they also encountered anxious troubles - the "crazy" tabloid also told the story of the heavy casualties of the expert group, and spared no effort to attract people's attention.

On the day of the report meeting, Du Longbiao still went, but it was not to promote himself, I knew his careful thinking - I heard that the provincial bureau attached great importance to this report meeting and invited a lot of large and small media, he must have wanted to find out the tabloid on the spot.

The venue is located in the hall on the first floor of the provincial bureau conference center, thousands of seats are full, the seats are full, the leaders of the provincial bureau and the municipal bureau are present, and the seats of the leaders of the county bureau are lined up in the back.

The comrade presiding over the meeting briefly introduced the basic situation of the three of us, and then invited us to take the stage to report one by one.

The first to go up was Tong Yang, who had lost his soul for the past few days, but as soon as he arrived on the stage, he immediately lifted his spirits-

"When I was in the police academy, I often asked myself, what made my seniors wear this sacred police uniform? What made them pick up the steel guns in their hands? What makes the iron-blooded children come forward? What makes the proud and loyal soul recast the glory! Ah - it is the call of the Motherland! It's the people's expectation—"

Tong Yang seemed to be a different person, his face was full of red light, and his tone was frustrating, and he had to admit that he spoke very well and shockingly.

The applause came and went, wave after wave, and the flashing lights under the stage flashed violently, making him even more excited and excited.

Du Longbiao pouted, "It's all him......" while looking for a target behind the flash, but until Tong Yang stepped down, he didn't gain anything, and his captain next to him stabbed him, "It's your turn, go up quickly." ”

Du Longbiao was stubborn again, pointing at Tong Yang who was stepping down, "He's finished, what else do I have to say." ”

was so angry that the captain almost gave him a pestle (fist), and hurriedly urged, "No, deflated calf, did you deliberately give me eye medicine?" Get up there, get grinded! ”

Du Long Biao couldn't move, "I said before, whoever falls in love with whom, I'm like this bear!" ”

I stood up, "I'll go first." ”

The captain was very grateful to me for "saving the scene", but Du Longbiao glared at me fiercely, "Traitor! The captain couldn't help but give him a look, "You also learn from Xiao Li, and see how many people know how to take care of the overall situation!" ”

Du Longbiao still glared at me, "What is the traitor's anger!" ”

I stepped up to the stage and stood still to a round of applause, thousands of eyes from the audience looking at me, and the flash of the camera camera made me a little dizzy.

The comrade who presided over the meeting thought that I was stage frightened and helped me relieve my pressure on the side, "This is our second model - Comrade Du Longbiao!" "He didn't know us, he just read in the order in which he spoke.

A lot of people in the audience laughed, and so did I.

I said, "No, I'm not Du Longbiao. ”

He reacted quickly, "Yes, you all have a common name - Hero!" ”

"That's right, we all have the same name-" I began to look at the manuscript paper in my hand, the content of which had been reviewed by the leaders of the county bureau and changed several times. Just now Tong Yang completely took off the manuscript, but now I look down at the manuscript, everyone thinks that I am nervous and forgot to speak, and the comrade who presided over wants to relieve me again, I threw the manuscript paper on the table, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My name is Luo Zhenguo." I looked up at the audience, and everyone seemed stunned.

"Also called Liu Guozhu!"

"Call the old snow head! Xie Guangwei! Zhao Hong! I can feel my body trembling, not nervous, but excited, "also called Tong Liu!" ”

The presiding comrade also had my manuscript in his hand, and secretly looked at it, obviously every sentence did not match, and he looked towards the leadership seat under the stage, knowing that something was going to happen.

A key leader of the provincial bureau shook his head slightly, signaling not to let him interrupt.

I reported all the names of the people who died this time, "I, they are them, and they are also me." They have never left and will continue to live on our survivors! ”

Du Longbiao didn't look for a target anymore, and was the first to stand up and shout "good" to applaud me, and then, the applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

"Everyone doesn't call the name Luo Zhenguo much, they all call me Lao Luo-" I learned Lao Luo's tone, and forced a simple smile on my face, but the tears kept rolling, "God takes care of me, I am old and beautiful, the girl is good-looking, let the not follow me-" I held back my tears and didn't let the tears fall, "Alas! It's just that I'm a girl, born with a little problem, always messing with me from time to time, I'm bedridden today, I'm having surgery tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...... Hey, but we've got a trick! I'm not used to her, I can't accompany her for a few days all year round, out of sight and out of mind, I'm a good girl, if I can be defeated by a small illness and a small disaster, then I don't deserve to be our old Luo's girl! ”

The eyes of many colleagues in the audience were moist, and some female colleagues had begun to secretly wipe their tears. My words pierced into their hearts, and as police officers, they know better than anyone else the hard and dangerous nature of this profession.

After that, I told the bits and pieces of his work as Lao Luo, until I talked about the reason for the "off-duty", more people in the audience cried, and I saw that there were many reporters and social figures, they cried and applauded, I was very pleased, these applause were given to Lao Luo.

But my next words made the applause stop abruptly......
