Chapter 905: Explosion
Gu Tingcheng did not explain further, but at this time, Liu Wei, the deputy mayor and director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau behind him, suddenly received a phone call, and when the call was over, he walked up to Meng Hanguo in a panic and said: "Mayor, no, I just received news that there were several serious explosions near the central hospital, and many passers-by were injured and killed. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Meng Hanguo was shocked when he heard this, and said angrily: "How did this happen? Is the cause found? ”
The origin of the two rays of light in the sky has not yet been figured out, and this kind of bad thing has happened, Meng Hanguo's heart almost wants to collapse at this moment, is he really bad this year?
Liu Wei shook his head and said: "The reason has not been clarified yet, but the people in the bureau have already been sent over, and even the special police team has been dispatched." ”
Meng Hanguo hurriedly asked, "Who led the team?" ”
Liu Wei replied: "The team led by Wang Dong." ”
Hearing the name Wang Dong, Meng Hanguo's face finally got a little better, he had heard of Wang Dong, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, a criminal police background, and his ability was still above Liu Wei's main situation. Then, he ordered Liu Wei to go to the scene of the explosion immediately and find out what was going on as soon as possible.
After Liu Wei left, Meng Hanguo respectfully asked Gu Qingcheng, "Miss Gu, now that the command of our Los Angeles City is officially handed over to you, may I ask, what are we going to do next?" ”
Gu Tingcheng said: "Do what I just said, sound the air defense siren, and let the people from the TV station and the fire department go to the streets to inform, let the people in the city center evacuate to the nearest shelter, of course, it is best to leave Los Angeles if you can, the farther away the better." ”
Do you want to exaggerate that?
Meng Hanguo muttered in his heart, Gu Qingcheng's decision was as if announcing that Luocheng was preparing to receive the atom. Like the bomb attack, a scene like this is probably not so exaggerated even if it was a major earthquake hundreds of years ago.
Although there are still questions, Meng Hanguo doesn't dare to ask more questions now, so he can only find it early.
However, to transfer nearly one million people in the center of Los Angeles at once, and to do it in such a short period of time, it is an impossible thing in itself.
……
On the other hand.
After receiving the news of the explosion in the central hospital, Liu Wei immediately rushed to the scene with people, and when he came there, several streets near the central hospital had been blocked, although Liu Wei could not see the explosion, but when he came to one of the explosion sites and saw the hole the size of half a basketball court, as well as the injured in several ambulances next to him, his face was ugly.
In Los Angeles and even in China, the occurrence of an explosion is itself serious, and even if it is an ordinary gas leak and explosion, once it occurs and there are casualties, he, the deputy mayor and director of the public security bureau, must immediately take responsibility.
Now, judging from the hole that was blown out in front of him, experience tells Liu Wei that this explosion is by no means as simple as an ordinary gas leak.
"How's the royal bureau going?" Liu Wei came to a dressed police officer. Dress, asked in front of the middle-aged man with a national character face.
"Is it Liu Ju?" Wang Dong saw Liu Wei coming, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then said with a depressed expression: "The situation is very bad, the center of the explosion is a construction site, and when it exploded, the debris and air currents directly blew away more than a dozen pedestrians passing here, and they all died on the spot." ”
Hearing this, Liu Wei's face sank again, and he asked, "What are the specific casualty figures?" ”
"The statistics are still being counted, however, the death toll is determined to be 16 people, all of them are passers-by who passed by this construction site, as for the injured too many, there are passers-by, there are also residents of nearby residences, the explosion is very powerful, affecting several streets, and even many houses have been damaged to varying degrees."
Liu Wei nodded, and when he came along the way, he also noticed that all the exterior walls of the houses in several streets were cracked, and the glass windows were all shattered, which showed how powerful the explosion was.
"Immediately deploy people from the two hospitals in the south of the city to rescue the injured, and the death toll must not be increased......" So far, Liu Wei can only order this.
With so many people dead, he has prepared for the worst, and it is estimated that someone will be sent down to hold him accountable when the province receives the news, and when the time comes, he, the deputy mayor, will be the first to do it.
"By the way, how well did the cause of the explosion be investigated?" Liu Wei has not forgotten his duty, and since the overall situation has been decided, he can only hope that the cause of the explosion can be investigated as soon as possible, so that at least part of the punishment can be reduced when he is held accountable.
It's a pity, Wang Dong shook his head next and said: "The bomb experts of our bureau have already gone in and seen it, but it's just ......" Speaking of this, Wang Dong's face revealed a strange color.
"Just what?" Liu Wei asked a little anxiously.
Wang Dong paused slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Several bomb experts searched the construction site no less than ten times, but they did not find the source of the explosion or any substances suspected of causing the explosion. ”
"Didn't find anything? How can it be? Liu Wei was shocked when he heard this, he knew that no matter what kind of explosion, even if it was a gas explosion, there would be residues left, and there was no reason why nothing could be detected, otherwise how could they characterize the cause of the explosion.
"I really didn't find it." Wang Dong saw Liu Wei's appearance, he himself was also very distressed, he was a criminal policeman, of course he knew the importance of finding out the source of the explosion, but he had already personally entered the construction site of the explosion just now, and he really couldn't find anything.
Several bomb experts had tested the air at the scene, but found no gas residue that could be detonated, not even the slightest hint of gunpowder or combustible gas.
The scene was as if there was an explosion out of thin air, directly blowing up half of the construction site.
"No, I'm going to go in and have a look."
Liu Wei also began to be anxious when he couldn't find the cause of the explosion, if he waited for the people from the province to come down, he wouldn't even be able to tell the reason, and then it would not be as simple as being removed from his post, but dereliction of duty, serious dereliction of duty, and he would go to prison if he didn't do it.
Liu Wei didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison, so he hurriedly took the safety helmet from a policeman next to him and walked into the construction site accompanied by Wang Dong.
After passing through the blockade and seeing the construction site that seemed to have been blown by a tornado, as well as the hole that was still smoking, Liu Wei's expression was ugly.
Several bomb experts who were wearing protective suits and holding instruments were working where they were working at this time, and they immediately wanted to come over, but they were immediately stopped by Liu Wei with a gesture and asked them to continue working.
Now that his official hat is about to be taken off, it is better for them to find out the cause of the explosion as soon as possible, rather than let them come and pat himself on the back.
Coming to the center of the explosion, the smoking hole, Liu Wei was shocked to see, this hole didn't feel anything when he looked at it outside, and when he came to it, Liu Wei was shocked and sweated.
The hole was ten meters deep, and it felt as if it had been dug up, and the earth spread out in a radial shape, and the construction materials such as steel bars and concrete piers not far away were blown directly into the opposite streets by the air generated by the explosion.
Several large excavators at the site were also blown into scrap metal by the explosion, twisting into a mass that stretched across the site. The improvised wall that was originally used to enclose the site was also blown away during the explosion, and now the entire site is exposed to the street.
A little farther away, the exterior walls of several buildings next to the construction site were severely damaged, and two of them even tilted, which shows how terrifying the power of the explosion was.
What exactly is it that would cause so much damage when it explodes? Coal gas? Mine? Or a gas pipeline? Liu Wei flashed various possibilities in his mind, but they were quickly ruled out by him one by one.
As Wang Dong said just now, no residue that caused the explosion was found near the center of the explosion, whether it was solid or gas, and nothing was found.
Liu Wei's mood was so irritable that he stomped his feet for no reason, and at this time, something happened that made him feel hopeless.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and even the ground shook a few times, Liu Wei didn't almost lose his balance and fell into the hole in front of him, but fortunately, Wang Dong next to him and the two policemen who accompanied him stopped him in time.
However, after the fright, Liu Wei's face turned pale, and he looked up at the direction where the loud noise came from, only to see a thick smoke rising several streets away from the other direction of the construction site.
"Exploded again?" Liu Wei almost fainted with a wipe of his eyes, and he suddenly felt that his life was about to end.
On the contrary, Wang Dong on the side seemed to realize something, and said loudly to the two policemen beside him: "Quickly send someone to where it is, the explosion has just happened, and the suspect who said that the people caused the explosion is nearby, you immediately take someone to search for it." ”
The two policemen were very alert and immediately took action when they heard the order, and soon, more than half of the police cars outside started up and drove towards the site of the explosion just now.
Liu Wei woke up like a dream, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly set off with Wang Dong's police car, if the prisoner who caused the explosion can be caught, then things will be much simpler, at least it can ensure that he does not have to go to prison.
"Woo ......"
In order to rush to the scene as soon as possible, Wang Dong personally drove and sounded the alarm, and soon, everyone came to the second explosion site.
The center of the explosion was a commercial street, and the shutters and glass windows of the shops on the street were all shattered by the explosion, and many people were lying on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wei and Wang Dong's hearts couldn't help but cool, this casualty figure is estimated to multiply several times, but now is not the time for them to lament, the two of them ordered the ambulance to come and save people, and got out of the car and ran to the closest place to the explosion.
"Immediately block the scene, don't let go of all suspicious people, notify the criminal investigation team to check the nearby surveillance immediately......" Wang Dong arranged for people to work at once, and he himself brought a gun and commanded the scene with Liu Wei.
As for Liu Wei, his eyes have also been fixed on several streets near the explosion site, hoping that the culprit can be found soon. Heaven seemed to hear his plea, and a policeman brought in a witness while searching for evidence.
