Chapter 157: Life? Or die?
"Boom!"
The dazzling fire suddenly lit up, and the rolling flames rolled back like tongues.
The strong air wave shattered the floor-to-ceiling windows, and countless glass fragments were ejected.
It fell on the steps and made a "clattering" sound.
Thick smoke continued to pour out from the gap, and loud sounds resounded in the square.
The crowd outside the cordon was stunned, then stood on tiptoes and looked towards the jewelry store.
Fortunately, the SWAT officers retreated in the last few seconds, otherwise there would have been heavy casualties!
The explosion happened so fast that people couldn't react.
And it was so powerful that it was comparable to any previous attack.
As soon as Cai Xiaojing ran into the square, she froze and stared blankly at what was happening in front of her.
Hu Changyu also opened his eyes wide, watching in disbelief as the thick smoke billowed out of the window.
Chen Hao was the last one to step back, while others were still lying on the steps.
He clutched the phone tightly in his hand, and he still remembered Luo Rui's last words in his ears: "I can't run out anymore, you keep moving forward!"
"You keep moving forward!"
Chen Hao's body was covered with broken glass, and Luo Rui's last words kept echoing in his ears!
Ignoring the pain all over his body, he gritted his teeth and climbed up, rushing towards the flaming jewelry store.
Hu Changyu has also woken up: "Damn it! What are you still doing? Save people, save people quickly!"
After so many years in a high position, this is the first time he has lost Calm, his whole face became distorted.
Ignoring the danger, he rushed forward, but was held back by the secretary behind him.
"Bureau Hu, it's too dangerous, you can't go!"
The secretary didn't dare to let the leader do whatever he wanted.
The fire was still burning. He couldn't risk the director's life, and he didn't know what was going on inside. If there was a flashover or deflagration, it would be over.
Hu Changyu broke away from his hand and warned with a serious look: "I tell you, if you stop me today, you will only be a secretary forever in the future!"
The secretary sucked it With a sigh, he looked at Hu Changyu's figure running up the steps. He gritted his teeth and quickly followed!
Because there had been a van explosion before, the fire truck was nearby.
Firefighters immediately organized people to use high-pressure water cannons to extinguish the fire while organizing people to go in and rescue people.
Chen Hao was the first to rush in, and Cai Xiaojing was the second.
Neither of them had any fire protection equipment, and they wanted to find Luo Rui or Luo Rui's body regardless of their lives.
Just because there is still a glimmer of hope left in their minds.
Hu Changyu was still blocked by his secretary.
"Bureau Hu, Team Chen has already gone in, and the firefighters have also gone in. It won't do anything if you go in again! Moreover, the situation is so serious, two explosions occurred in a row, the impact of this matter is too great , I still need you to maintain the situation.”
The secretary picked up the phone: "The number on the city government's side is off the hook. They're all calling for accountability! You should know better than me the difficulties our city bureau is about to face."
Hu Changyu was told by him Moved, yes, if such a big thing happens, the city bureau will definitely be held accountable.
As the first person responsible, he must immediately report the situation to the superiors. If he acts slowly and is caught by someone who is interested, it will be more difficult to deal with it afterwards.
Hu Changyu sighed. When he was hesitating, he saw several cars driving over the street.
Several traffic police blocking the road wanted to stop him, but when they saw the license plate, they immediately stepped aside and raised their hands in salute.
The secretary had sharp eyes, and he also saw it, and then hurriedly whispered to Hu Changyu: "Mayor Ren's car, and Secretary Huang are also here."
Hu Changyu looked at him with deep meaning. Subordinate: "Those traffic policemen just now, including you, you all remember the license plate number of the leader's special car clearly!"
The secretary does not deny it, nor does he admit it. Sometimes, silence is the best choice.
Hu Changyu looked at the jewelry store, where the raging fire continued to burn.
He prayed for Luo Rui in his heart: May God bless him.
Then, Hu Changyu said to his secretary: "Let's go, the big shots are coming, let's go meet them."
......
There was thick smoke and fire everywhere. , can’t see the surrounding environment clearly at all.
Chen Hao covered his mouth and nose, turned around and saw Cai Xiaojing behind him: "Why are you here? Get out quickly!"
Cai Xiaojing remained silent, her face flushed, and she rushed forward.
At this time, the firefighters came in and they put oxygen masks on the two people.
After Chen Hao and Cai Xiaojing put it on, they followed them around to look for survivors.
Not long after, they found three unrecognizable corpses in the hall.
Two of the corpses were still intact, and one was still wearing a security uniform, but both had missing arms and legs. It looked like they had been torn apart by the power of the explosion.
The other corpse belongs to someone unknown, with only fragments of human body parts left.
Cai Xiaojing's heart sank to the bottom, and she and Chen Hao quickly identified the two corpses.
But fortunately, except for the security guard, the remaining two people were not Luo Rui, they were probably robbers.
Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Depending on the situation, this hall is where the explosion occurred. If Luo Rui's body is not found, he might still be alive!"
Cai Xiaojing's heart is still thinking: "Then where will he be? And the robbery There are more than just these two robbers, there is also a robber whose body is not in the hall..."
Before she finished speaking, she followed Chen Hao's gaze and looked inside.
There are two offices there, where materials are stored, and the fire is still spreading.
Chen Hao quickly called the fire fighters and sprayed high-pressure water cannons inside. The firefighters worked very hard. After ten minutes, all the fires in the jewelry store were extinguished. There were ruins everywhere, and there was a strong smell of burning in the air. If you didn't wear an oxygen mask, you might faint in a few minutes.
The offices inside all collapsed, with fallen ceilings and blown-out tables and chairs everywhere.
Chen Hao, Cai Xiaojing, and firefighters quickly cleared away the debris.
While the two were cleaning up, they kept praying in their hearts, hoping that Luo Rui was still alive.
Fortunately, they didn't find any bodies here.
Not long after, a metal door that was deformed by the aftermath of the explosion appeared in front of them.
Both of them knew that this was the inner room of the jewelry store where the safe was stored.
The door was not locked, but ajar.
Chen Hao and Cai Xiaojing looked at each other. The latter pursed his lips tightly, covered his palms with his sleeves, and then pulled open the metal door.
It was pitch dark inside, and a voice seemed to make a tut-tutting sound of admiration.
Then, both of them heard the familiar voice.
“Here I go, this gold brick is quite heavy. It’s definitely a good idea to slap on the forehead!”
After adapting to the light, they saw Luo Rui sitting in front of the safe, holding both hands Each held a gold brick and touched each other.
Chen Hao opened his eyes wide and looked at Cai Xiaojing again, but the latter's eyes were red with tears in his eyes.
Luo Rui has seen them.
He stood up and looked at the two of them: "Hey, Qinggui, give me back your bank card. There's 50 million in it. I have to buy these two gold bricks and pass them on to my unworthy descendants."
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, then strode forward and hugged Luo Rui.
"It's great, you didn't die!"
Luo Rui shouted: "Don't use too much force, I have a gunshot wound on my shoulder, that damn Tang Xiong almost killed me!" ”
Chen Hao let go of him and looked at his whole body carefully. "It's okay, I'm still alive and kicking!"
Luo Rui grimaced: "Is everything okay? I was shot once in Luming Mountain, and again in your Linjiang City. I'm so unlucky!"
Chen Hao laughed: "No injuries , How can you get a medal of merit? You boy, be satisfied, your contribution is not small this time! If Bureau Hu knows that you are not dead, he will be very happy."
Luo Rui shrugged, but his shoulders were broken. The gunshot wound made him grin in pain.
He looked at Cai Xiaojing and smiled slightly.
“Sir Cai, don’t cry, am I not dead?”
Cai Xiaojing sniffed, nodded, took two steps forward, and then stopped again, looking like she was hesitating to speak.
Chen Hao touched his nose.
He looked at the two corpses on the ground. One corpse was the manager of a jewelry store. It could be seen at a glance that he was wearing a black suit and was shot in the back of the head, execution-style execution!
Judging from the scene, he must have resisted fiercely before his death, otherwise his end would not have been so tragic.
The face of the other corpse had been scratched by a sharp blade and could not be identified at all. However, there was Tang Monk's hooded mask beside him, so there was no doubt that it was a robber.
As for why his face was destroyed, Chen Hao guessed that maybe the other two robbers didn't want the police to identify this person, but that was no longer important.
The body cannot be moved for the time being. Once the fire is extinguished, forensic scientists and technical detectives will need to come in to inspect the scene.
Chen Hao looked at Luo Rui: "Can you walk out by yourself?"
"Dizzied!" Luo Rui shook his head and looked at Cai Xiaojing: "Sir Cai, please help me. ”
Chen Hao touched his nose again and walked out of the door first.
Cai Xiaojing walked to him, but Luo Rui put his arm directly on her shoulders.
She lowered her head and saw that Luo Rui's legs were not injured.
Besides, if he injured his leg, could he hide in this safe so easily?
Although she thought so, Cai Xiaojing still supported him carefully.
Luo Rui exhaled and looked at her side face. He could see the red and swollen corners of her eyes and the slight beads of sweat on her forehead.
Her face was red from the fire, and her face was covered with black stains.
When she was in danger, she and Chen Hao rushed in immediately, which was enough to show that they cared about her.
Moreover, when he entered the jewelry store earlier, Cai Xiaojing ran here desperately.
That scene has always been imprinted in Luo Rui's mind.
Is she afraid that she will be in danger and wants to stop it? Or do you want to see yourself for the last time?
Luo Rui couldn't ask the question, he just murmured: "Sir Cai, thank you!"
Cai Xiaojing was stunned and moved the broken hair from her ear to her ear with her hand.
She did not raise her eyes to look at him. "Thank me for what?"
Luo Rui was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for supporting me."
A flash of disappointment flashed in Cai Xiaojing's eyes. "It's nothing."
Luo Rui was supported by her and walked out of the jewelry store.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, and police officers were coming and going around them.
There were many people standing in the square. Hu Changyu stood with the city leaders, facing a group of reporters for interviews.
Seeing Luo Rui come out, the reporters stretched their necks and focused on him.
