Under the coordination of Qu Yangbo, the Xijiao Squadron arrived at the scene quickly, and the exhaust fan was transferred from the nearest detachment and put into use.
The captain of the Western Suburb Squadron is named Yan Jue. He is tall and burly, with a muscular body, bronze skin and a sharp, masculine face. He is a typical Northwest handsome guy.
Ren Yi went up to say hello to him, and he said with a sneer, "So it's Captain Ren of the Phoenix Squadron, who am I to be such a big face, come to work in my jurisdiction, and tell me not to ask."
Ren Yi himself is also the captain of the squadron, and he also knows that it is impolite to go to other people's jurisdiction without the assignment of tasks from the headquarter. The matter is related to a key case of the police, I will explain to you later, please help us now."
Yan Jue's face softened: "Let's go, go and see the well."
Several people returned to the foundation well, and Yan Jue observed carefully.
Ren Yi sneezed and tightened his collar again.
"Did you catch a cold?" Gong Yingxian said, "Go back to the car to warm up."
Ren Yi waved his hand: "I just drank 999, it's fine."
Yan Jue casually took out a cigarette and handed it to Ren Yi: "It's freezing, it's dry tobacco, it's refreshing and warming up after smoking."
"Thank you." Ren Yi took it.
Yan Jue set Ren Yi on fire, and Ren Yi took a breath unpreparedly, only to feel a strong smell of burnt grass rushing into his nostrils, choking him to cough.
Yan Jue was happy, and patted Ren Yi on the back: "How about it, enough energy."
"Enough... cough cough..." Ren Yi had never smoked such a strong cigarette, and it was indeed very refreshing.
"This is something from our hometown. I only smoke it when I go to the police in the middle of the night." Yan Jue touched his body, "Hey, this is the only one, give me a sip."
Yan Jue approached Ren Yi's face carelessly, and took a puff of a cigarette.
Gong Yingxian frowned deeply, looking at Yan Jue's hand on Ren Yi's back, he became more and more displeased. He snatched the cigarette from Ren Yi's hand: "Don't smoke this kind of cigarette that doesn't even have a filter."
"A few puffs won't kill you." Yan Jue was about to reach for it, but watched Gong Yingxian throw the cigarette into the well.
Ren Yi suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Yan Jue narrowed his eyes, Gong Yingxian said expressionlessly: "Test the oxygen concentration." He would not let Ren Yi touch this thing again.
Qu Yangbo watched with relish, he pushed his glasses, and his eyes flashed.
"Who are you?" Yan Jue asked.
"He is a criminal policeman from the Hongwu Sub-bureau." Ren Yi said quickly, "Captain Yan, the air replacement should be almost done, let's study the plan."
Yan Jue snorted softly, stopped talking to Gong Yingxian, and discussed with Ren Yi, how to play, how to rotate personnel, what tools to use to break the ice, and how to ensure safety, all were considered one by one.
After making the plan, Yan Jue let out a long breath: "Captain Ren, you owe me a big meal for such a dirty, tiring, dangerous and unfulfilling job."
Ren Yi smiled and said, "It must."
"Come on and get to work."
Everything is ready, it is almost ten o'clock, the night is getting colder, there is no shelter around this construction site, the cold wind is howling and raging, even if you are wrapped in a thick down jacket, you are shivering.
Ren Yi decided to be the first one to go down. Firstly, he had already slowed down, and secondly, Yan Jue was too big to go down. If he didn't go down, who would take the lead.
Due to the narrow space in the well, he couldn’t bend over. This time he had to hang his head down. This posture is prone to hypoxia and brain congestion, which is more difficult than the previous one. Not only that, but also holding tools to break the ice and speed up. The consumption of the already scarce oxygen, this process, an adult man with full physical fitness can only last ten minutes underground at most.
After Ren Yi finished reequipping, his whole body was covered with warm stickers.
Qu Yangbo got a bottle of rice wine from nowhere, and put the mouth of the bottle to Ren Yi's mouth: "Take a sip, and I promise not to report you for drinking while on duty."
Ren Yi laughed, and took a deep breath, the spicy wine entered his throat, like a stream of fire, spreading to the internal organs, and his whole body instantly warmed up. He jumped a few times on the spot and growled, "Get down!"
Gong Yingxian looked at him deeply, his handsome face was pale and translucent from the cold, his eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dim light.
Ren Yi pretended not to receive Gong Yingxian's gaze. He knew that Gong Yingxian cared about him, and he also knew that Gong Yingxian was a good friend, but this didn't change the awkward situation between them. Sometimes avoidance was the only way, not the way.
Ren Yi tied the rope, took the tools, and went down the well hanging upside down.
He brought chainsaws, ice picks, crowbars and other tools. The task of this trip was not to dig ice, but to prepare tools and lights for the convenience of the people behind.
When he was lowered to the bottom, he smashed two small holes in the side of the well with an ice ax, inserted the rechargeable light into the holes, and swept away the soil on the ice.
When the things under the shallow ice became clear, Ren Yi made a new discovery, he leaned down, his face was close enough to kiss the skull under the ice, although he resisted in his heart, he still remained firm The scalp was pasted up, just to see it more clearly.
"Fuck..." Ren Yi cursed secretly.
Yan Jue's voice came from the intercom: "What's the matter, are you okay?"
"There is more than one corpse here." Ren Yi took a deep breath. "It is conservatively estimated that there are two. I saw two hand bones of different sizes. One of them may be a child or a small woman."
"How is the decay of the corpse?" Gong Yingxian asked.
"It's not completely rotten, it's been burned." After this action, Ren Yi began to feel difficult to breathe again, and his brain was dizzy.
"Sihuo, it's almost ten minutes, it's time to come up." Qu Yangbo reminded him.
"Wait, let me observe again." Ren Yi stroked the cold walls, looked around, then turned on the chain saw to cut the ice, and observed the reaction of the walls.
He was dragged up only after it was confirmed that the walls were frozen solid and would not loosen due to the vibration.
Back on the ground, Ren Yi's fingers were stiff from the cold. He took off his gloves, hugged the thermos that Qu Yangbo Sai gave him, and took a sip of hot water while shivering.
Yan Jue clapped his hands: "Come on, one by one."
Sun Yiyi was the second one, and Ren Yi reminded him: "When you cut, you should always pay attention to two things. First, try not to damage the corpse. Second, observe the surroundings and report immediately if the soil on the walls shows signs of loosening. .”
"understood."
Throughout the night, more than 30 soldiers from the two squadrons, wearing light clothes that were far from enough to keep out the cold, endured the severe cold of minus ten degrees, and took turns to go down headfirst to the bottom of the eight-story well, bit by bit. on the ice.
They worked non-stop all night, and finally dug the corpses out of the ice before dawn. Sure enough, there were two of them, and one of them was a child.
The body was immediately bagged and taken to a police van.
The soldiers were so tired that they staggered to and fro, and some of them nestled on the fire truck and fell asleep. Ren Yi was sleepy, tired, and dizzy, but he persisted in commanding until the last moment. He didn't get into the fire truck until all the tasks were completed, leaning back on the chair and drowsy.
After Gong Yingxian handed over the evidence, he began to look for Ren Yi everywhere, and finally found Ren Yi on the fire truck.
"Ren Yi?" Taking a closer look, he found that Ren Yi was strange, his cheeks were flushed, and his breathing was very heavy.
Ren Yi didn't respond.
Gong Yingxian put his hand on Ren Yi's forehead, it was hot.
"...Huh?" Ren Yi opened his eyes in a daze. He felt as if his body was filled with lead, and he didn't want to move.
"You have a fever." Seeing Ren Yi's listless appearance, Gong Yingxian was very worried, "I'll take you to the hospital."
"I won't go." Ren Yi muttered, "Doctor Qian said... I'm about to become a VIP in their hospital, so I won't go."
"Then go to my house, I have a doctor at home."
Ren Yi shook his head slowly, his brain was in a daze, and it was hard to think, so he whispered, "I want to go home."
Qu Yangbo also came over: "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"
"He has a fever, I'll take him home, and I'll find a doctor for him." Gong Yingxian said as he was about to help Ren Yi down.
"Hey." Qu Yangbo held Ren Yi down, "We provide medical care at public expense. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just go to the hospital. I won't bother you, Dr. Gong."
"He said he didn't want to go to the hospital, he wanted to go home."
"He's burned out, don't listen to him."
Gong Yingxian squinted her eyes, and stared at Qu Yangbo coldly, without any intention of backing down, and Qu Yangbo also looked at him leisurely.
The two were deadlocked for a while, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward. Qu Yangbo smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, you can take it away."
Gong Yingxian helped Ren Yi up from the fire truck, and walked to his own car.
Qu Yangbo teased behind his back: "Dr. Gong, let me remind you, if Si Huo burns in a daze and does something inappropriate, please forgive me, after all, you are the one who insisted on taking him away."
Gong Yingxian turned a deaf ear to it, he just wanted to hide Ren Yi in a place that only he could see and touch.
