Forensic pursuit

The flames surrounded by air waves splashed in all directions, Pei Rong bit his lip, his panting became softer and lighter, as if he would completely lose consciousness in the next moment.Several residents on the same floor stuck their heads out to observe the situation outside the door. Seeing the fire in the corridor and the messy rubble, most of them avoided it, packed up their valuables and quickly moved downstairs.

Fortunately, they called the police immediately.

There were footsteps coming from the corner of the stairs, and black shadows were gradually approaching, Pei Rong didn't know about it at all.Her slender fingers were stained with blood, trembling and bent, and took out the mobile phone in the bag.A series of actions undoubtedly made Pei Rong worse, and almost made her lose her temper.

Persevering for a few more seconds, just a few seconds, she forced herself to open her eyes again and again, tapped the phone screen with her little finger to unlock, and found Song Zibo's contact information.In order to prevent the police from tracking and locating, Song Zibo's number is often changed, and the other party usually calls.The 11-digit number displayed on the screen was saved last night. Pei Rong, who was staring at the phone, half-opened his eyelids and pressed the dial button.

The gas explosion was definitely not an accident, she could only pin her hopes on Song Zibo.

Beep, beep, beep... At the moment of almost despair, the phone connected: "Hello, Xiaorong."

The back of her head hurt like a heavy hammer, she exhausted her last bit of strength and shouted: "Brother..."

In the next second, all five senses were lost and he fell into chaos.

"Mom, someone has fainted outside the door." Room 8, which is farthest from the incident, was not seriously affected.The girl behind the door was in the second year of junior high school this year and had just finished the senior high school entrance examination. She was already sound asleep when she was awakened by the loud noise from the explosion.She leaned in front of the cat and observed for 2 minutes. She thought that Pei Rong was fine, but unexpectedly she drooped her head and remained motionless.

"Quickly, step back." The person who spoke was the girl's mother, surnamed Zhou, under 40 years old, deputy chief physician of the emergency department of Binnan University Affiliated Hospital.While packing up, she threw away her backpack, opened the anti-theft door, stepped forward, squatted down on Pei Rong's right side, and first judged her consciousness, "Hi, hello, can you hear me? Hello."

No response received.

"Xiaoying, call the ambulance." Director Zhou turned around and ordered.

"Oh!"

"Forget it, give me the phone."

The black figure not far away leaned against the wall, assessed the situation, and finally disappeared at the other side of the stairs.

-------------------

"Director Zhou, how is the situation?" Asked the doctor who took over from the ambulance after a 15-minute drive.

Director Zhou said as he walked: "The impact of the natural gas explosion caused head trauma and transient syncope. It has been treated simply and is not life-threatening. There are many soft tissue bruises on the body, and the elbow joint of the right arm is dislocated. As for other bone injuries? , check to know."

"Have you notified your family?"

"I couldn't get through to his father's phone number, but a man named Zibo got through, but he didn't speak." Director Zhou took Pei Rong's backpack and mobile phone, and told the doctor on duty next to him, "Push for a full-body examination first, and there will be more later." Five vehicles and eight wounded are ready to participate in the treatment."

In a residential area 10 kilometers away, Huang Bo, who had just fallen asleep, received a call.Firefighting belongs to the public security system, and he happens to be in charge of firefighting.

"Yellow bureau, the gas explosion in the green area, the first fire brigade received the task to put out the fire."

Huang Bo turned on the bedside lamp: "Well, is the fire under control?"

"Take control."

"Wait a minute, what neighborhood?" Huang Bo's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"Greenland community, room 1801 exploded, three floors up and down, 9 injured have been transferred to the nearest hospital..."

The contact person of the fire brigade chattered to report the situation, while Huang Bo clutched his cell phone, trembling uncontrollably, his eyes gradually turned red.

"Hey, hello, Bureau Huang, are you listening?"

Huang Bo clenched his fists to ease his impending collapse: "Go on."

"The cause of the accident is being investigated and a report will be issued tomorrow morning."

"Okay, pass the report to me directly after review." After hanging up the phone, hot tears overflowed from the corners of Huang Bo's uneven eyes. His eyes wandered, and finally stopped on the photo frame standing on the opposite locker.On the left is a picture of Lu Rui wearing the police uniform on the first day, and on the right is a blank photo frame, a treasured photo that cannot be put in it openly.

It made him extremely proud, and even more so was the photo of his distressed little daughter wearing a lawyer's robe on the first day.No one was by her side, even pressing the shutter was helped by a friend.

Xiao Jing, with Rong'er by your side, you are not alone in the sky, don't take Rui'er away...

-------------------

On the other side, Chu Wanning, who was lying prone on the big bed, couldn't fall asleep for a long time for some reason.She was resting on the crook of her arm in a daze, and the phone on her left suddenly buzzed and vibrated.

A news feed, she usually doesn't respond to it late at night, and only browses it the next day.But tonight, by a strange coincidence, Chu Wanning reached for her phone and clicked on the link.

【7月15日凌晨0点17分，江州省滨南市南云街道绿地小区1801号房发生天然气爆炸事故，目前9名伤者，已送往医院救治。】

In 1801, Xiaorui and Chu Wanning grabbed the phone and stood up abruptly, their eyes visibly flustered.She turned on the police's internal first-level protection and called Wan Tong to verify.

The ending trembled: "Tong, Aunt Tong."

"I see, I'm paying close attention to her situation." Wan Tong was afraid of disturbing Nie Zhiyan's rest, so she stood in front of the window in her pajamas, frowning.

"I, can I go and see her?" Chu Wanning knew that the request would be rejected, but she still insisted on asking the consultant.

"No." Wan Tong paused, and added, "At least not tonight, I can ask Fanxin to accompany you tomorrow morning." In the name of a friend, there is nothing wrong with it.

"But..." Chu Wanning hesitated to speak.

"But what?"

"I just want to know if she's okay." The phone slipped down, and Chu Wanning curled up her legs and buried her face in her knees.According to the pictures sent back from the scene, room 1801 was in a mess, and even the load-bearing walls collapsed.

Wan Tong's calm and steady voice came from the receiver: "There is no news for now. The fire chief in charge of the fire is investigating the cause of the accident and will follow up on the situation at the hospital."

Chu Wanning responded softly, without saying a word, and hung up the phone.Her mind was buzzing, and the three words kept echoing in her ears.

Go see her, go see her, go see her.Chu Wanning turned over and got out of bed, pulled on the slippers, and picked up the short-sleeved shirt and trousers that were prepared before going to bed on the sofa next to her.She was still fighting ideologically, but her actions were running in the opposite direction. She had already put on her trousers, raised her hands to fasten buttons one by one, and walked towards the living room.

The moon outside the window was as bright as a mirror, and the surroundings were quiet. Chu Wanning held the handle of the anti-theft door with his right hand, his left arm was hanging down, and the water in his eyes was shaking.

No, no, the more dangerous the critical period, the more calmness is needed, and Lu Rui's efforts and persistence cannot be wasted.She closed her eyes, kept admonishing herself, calmed down the urge to pant, slowly loosened her clenched hand, and finally walked towards the kitchen.

Like smoking, Chu Wanning doesn't like to drink, and only occasionally drinks two glasses at colleagues' gatherings or entertainment.The two bottles of beer in the refrigerator were thrown away when Xie Zhengxia was packing up two days ago.She couldn't find it, so she called the commissary downstairs and brought up a dozen cans.

"Thank you." Chu Wanning locked the door and locked it, and walked back with the beer in her arms.

The bedroom was not lit, only illuminated by moonlight.She leaned back against the sofa, opened the pull ring, opened her tightly pursed lips slightly, and raised her head against the mouth of the can.The wine enters the mouth and slides down the throat, not sweet, even a bit bitter.If getting drunk can relax the tense heartstrings and reduce the suffering, it is not a bad thing to hear the news when you wake up.

But the wine is not intoxicating, 4 cans, 5 cans, 6 cans, the stomach gradually propped up, and the mind became more sober.

[Hanhan, the latest news from the hospital, her life is not in danger. 】

[Thank you, Aunt Tong. 】

The screen changed from bright to dark, and Chu Wanning gently pinched the can with her index finger and thumb, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and shed tears quietly.

***

In the emergency department of the hospital, more than a dozen medical staff are busy, and the corridor is crowded with family members and the wounded who have undergone simple bandages.

"Doctor, I'm in pain. Did you check it? Are the bones all right?" The wounded man held his shoulders, showing pain.

Director Zhou passing by said casually, "Xiao Wang, open a box of celecoxib for him."

"what is that?"

Xiao Wang found the injured person's name, added a prescription, and was busy debridement for others, explaining in a few words: "Painkillers, pay for them and go directly to the first floor to get them."

"Oh, thank you."

The man walked away, and Director Zhou, who was squatting to check the little girl's injury, stood up and asked the doctor on duty on the right: "Where is the injured person surnamed Pei who was sent first?"

"In Ward 206 on the second floor, the concussion caused shock, the dislocated elbow joint had been reset, and there were many small wounds. Fortunately, they were all treated while she was in a coma. It's almost 2 o'clock at this moment. It is reasonable to say that she should wake up, but I just went to see it. eye, still asleep."

"Stay in the hospital for observation for a few days to avoid delayed intracranial hematoma." Director Zhou pressed the elevator, "The family members of the injured are still not connected?"

The doctor on duty shook his head.

"I'll go take a look."

In the corridor on the second floor of the emergency department, an incandescent light was on. When you got out of the elevator and turned left, the two communicated in low voices, while walking towards Ward 6, they bumped into a man wearing a medical mask: "Hey, Director Li, How do you come to our emergency department? Are there patients?"
