Chapter 108: Explosion (2)
I couldn't do anything but wait outside the cordon like the crowd of onlookers. It took Tao Hai a full three hours to descend from the fourth floor to the second floor, and the fire brigade sprayed water for three hours, and two more fire trucks came in after him, and dozens of firefighters entered, but none of them could bring out the residents above the second floor. Listening to the shouts of those firefighters, they couldn't go up to the second floor at all, and walked and walked, and then returned to the first floor.
The thin man made a lip shape to me, which was "ghost hitting the wall". I think so too. I also have a hunch that this matter has something to do with Tao Hai.
Sure enough, when Tao Hai reached the second floor, there was a change. He was no longer moving up and down, but he was being pulled, moving backwards, looking in that direction, it was his home, that cornucopia. My heart grew heavier.
After another hour like this, the smoke and fire miraculously decreased, and the firefighters finally rushed to the second floor, carrying several unconscious people on their backs. All of them were in a coma, with no trauma, and their chests rose and fell normally. The paramedics examined the person briefly and confirmed that they were alive and rushed to the hospital. I saw Aunt Xu, but I didn't see Tao Hai, and I couldn't help but doubt what I had just seen.
The old leader stood for so long, his back was straight, and his feet didn't shake, but we were still worried, but no matter how much we persuaded him, he wouldn't leave. Director Mao came to see the old leader, admired it very much, and helped persuade a few words, and said that he asked people to move chairs, but the old leader refused. A few of us took turns to support the old leader and make him more relaxed.
By the time the firefighters rushed to the fourth floor and came down, they carried out a few wounded. In that case, it should not be said that it was the wounded, but that it was the dead. There were seven people in total, covered in flesh and blood, and their faces were unrecognizable. The surrounding onlookers vomited several times, screamed again and again, and dispersed a lot at once.
I found that after experiencing Chu Run's incident, my ability to adapt to this bloody scene has improved a lot, and I hardly feel it anymore. However, I was still terrified. The bloody corpse at the end was dressed in a shabby blue overalls, exactly like the numb Tao Hai I had seen. That height and body type are also Tao Hai's. Even if he is unrecognizable now, I can also conclude that this is Tao Hai.
"The fourth floor, it shouldn't be ......," the thin man muttered softly.
No one answered, but I thought, they all had the same idea as me, and I had the same idea as the thin man.
Except for these seven, the people who were rescued later were only unconscious.
The police are here too. Chen Xiaoqiu and the old leader both looked at a young man who was at the forefront, in his thirties, mature and handsome, and was incompatible with the middle-aged policemen around him, and if anyone could understand the epaulettes on that uniform, they would be even more surprised.
The thin man and the fat man looked at Chen Xiaoqiu in unison.
Chen Xiaoqiu nodded, "My uncle." ”
As a civil servant, unless you are bored to the point of being unbelievable, you have more or less heard of a few upper-level gossip. We have an old leader here, and the other departments give us a little face, and we hear even more gossip. We have all heard of the young and promising police chief of Minqing City, but we didn't expect it to be such a young law.
"How old is that?" The thin man snorted.
"Thirty-seven."
He looks like he's in his early thirties! Really well maintained. I envy Uncle Chen a little, not to mention being young and promising, he is still handsome, he is really more human than human, and he is angry.
"Xiao Chen is a very promising young man, he joined the army as a special soldier, made military merits, and after recovery, he entered the special police team of the police station, and he made meritorious contributions all the way, and he also has a doctorate degree in investigation and criminology." The old leader said.
Because there were not many casualties, the old leader's tense nerves relaxed, and he spoke as kindly as usual.
After I heard this, I felt a wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Looking at the expressions of the three thin men, they are similar to me.
This kind of person should be called a genius, right?
Chen Xiaoqiu lowered his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, obviously proud of his uncle.
When Uncle Chen saw us, he bowed his head to the old leader, and when his gaze swept over Chen Xiaoqiu, his gaze softened a little. Because he had a job, he didn't come over to say hello, but asked the fire brigade about the situation.
When we saw that things were almost over, we said goodbye to Director Mao and first found a coffee shop outside the community to rest.
The old leader was not used to drinking coffee, so Guo Yujie ordered him black tea and snacks.
"You should be more concerned about this matter, but don't overdo it. This is not directly related to the demolition, your main job is to understand the situation and follow up on the situation of those residents. The old leader drank a few sips of tea, ate snacks, took out his mobile phone, called back the person who called just now, turned his head and said to us, "I still have something to do, go first." You'll go to the neighborhood and ask later. ”
"Old leader, I'll send you back." I stood up.
"I have a temporary meeting, you send me to the city government."
I sent the old leader to the city government, and he said that the meeting was very long, and asked me to go back, without waiting for him, and he went home directly after that. The old leader and we have always been polite, his two sons are in business, have their own cars and drivers, the old leader is the two sons to and from work are personally picked up. I listened to him and drove back to the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants.
The skinny man was still in the coffee shop, and when they saw me come back, their eyes were hot.
After I sat down, I rubbed my face and took a large sip of ice water.
"Brother Chi?" The thin man squealed cautiously.
"That's Tao Hai." I said.
All four of them were stunned.
"Who?"
"The person I saw at the window was Tao Hai. He moved from the fourth floor to the second floor and was pulled back to his home. I said tiredly.
The thin man was speechless. The fat man was silent. Guo Yujie was flustered and didn't know what to say.
Or Chen Xiaoqiu calmed down, "He moved from the fourth floor to the second floor?" ”
"Among the seven corpses, the last one to be carried out was Tao Hai."
"What's going on?" Guo Yujie couldn't help but ask.
"In one case, Tao Hai hid on the fourth floor, died there in an accident, and his soul went home; In the second case, Tao Hai is not hiding on the fourth floor...... "Chen Xiaoqiu is halfway through the analysis, so he won't say anything.
"That person doesn't look like the kind of person who would sin." I shook my head.
On this point, the five of us have a tacit understanding.
The abnormal explosions, thick smoke, fire, and the seven tragic corpses make people can't help but imagine. The imagination that best satisfies these points is that the seven people were making dangerous objects in the residential area of the community, and something went wrong, and there was an explosion and a fire, so the fire was difficult to extinguish, so only the seven of them died tragically.
I have only seen Tao Hai once, but the impression left at that time and the information I learned from other people all show that Tao Hai is a cowardly and incompetent person, such a person, has the courage to commit crimes?
"Chu Run and Zhou Xiangyang." Chen Xiaoqiu gave two names.
This example was so ruthless that I was speechless for a moment.
"This is something that the police are going to investigate." The thin man leaned back in his chair and said with a grin, "It has nothing to do with us. ”
"However, the fire brigade has not been able to rush upstairs...... "The fat man looked at me hesitantly.
"I don't know." I smiled wryly, "I can just see ghosts too." ”
"Tonight, you might see it again." Guo Yujie patted me on the shoulder.
I was photographed leaning forward, but I didn't care about complaining to Guo Yujie, all I could think about was Tao Hai's sluggish face.
