The huge sound waves generated by the explosion and the slight shaking of the ground caused me to fall to the ground. My ears were buzzing and I seemed to have an inexplicable feeling of dizziness, which made me want to vomit, as if I was experiencing the great earthquake in Sichuan again!
The other people in the room were also staggering. Then Officer Yang, Bai Qi, and Lin Yingxue immediately stood up from the ground, drew their pistols from their waists, and prepared to go out to see what was going on.
At this moment, a young policeman rushed in, covering his face and coughing. It seemed that he was choked by the smoke outside. He said while coughing violently, "It's bad, Chief. There was an explosion of unknown cause at the entrance of the police station. Many brothers were injured. Please go and take a look."
Officer Yang and Bai Qi both froze in their expressions and said to the police officer, "You stay here to watch the prisoner. We'll go out and take a look."
After saying that, the two of them, along with Lin Yingxue, rushed out of the interrogation room. Zhang Qishan and I stared at each other in a daze, both very curious about what was happening outside, but I always felt that something seemed to be wrong.
Zhang Qishan tiptoed to the door of the interrogation room and poked his head out to look for a long time. He didn't seem to see anything, so he turned to me and said, "Let's go out and take a look. I'm always curious and itchy when I stay here."
Who isn't the same? I was also very curious about what happened outside. I turned around to look at Zhang Peng. He had a calm face, as if it had nothing to do with him. The two police officers guarding him had also recovered at this time. Together with the police officer who came in to report the news, he should be safe.
So I nodded, walked out of the interrogation room with Zhang Qishan, and headed towards the direction where the explosion came from.
Soon, we arrived at the door of the police station, only to see that it was in a mess. The original glass door had been shattered by the explosion just now. The white and solemn environment turned dark. There were several burning flames on the ground. Some police officers were holding fire extinguishers and trying to put out the fire. There were also several injured police officers lying on the ground and were being rescued. It seemed that there should be no big problem.
I quickly found Officer Yang and Bai Qi who were directing the crowd, and asked, "What happened? What exploded?"
Officer Yang shook his head anxiously, and from his eyes it could be seen that Officer Yang was really angry this time.
At this time, an unconscious police officer who was closest to the explosion site was awakened. The police officer's face was black and his clothes were burnt. Fortunately, he did not seem to be in any danger of life. After waking up, Officer Yang immediately stepped forward and asked what had happened.
The police officer said weakly, "At that time, a middle-aged man put a black handbag at the door of the police station and then fled in a hurry. After I found him, I felt that there must be something wrong with this thing, so I and a few brothers wanted to go forward to check it out, but before we got there, the thing exploded. I don't know what happened afterwards."
Seeing that the police officer's condition was not stable, Officer Yang was concerned about his subordinates and did not continue to ask questions. Soon, ambulances and fire trucks arrived. I helped carry the injured onto the ambulance, and the fire in the hall was put out.
After working like this for nearly half an hour, the impact of the explosion was finally eliminated. The only thing left was the cleanup work. The uninjured police officers in the police station were busy cleaning, and Officer Yang and Bai Qi relaxed a little and walked to the door to smoke to relieve their emotions.
At this time, Zhang Qishan and I walked over to Officer Yang and said, "Officer Yang, don't you think something is wrong?"
Officer Yang was still suppressing his anger and said, "Of course it's wrong. He dared to place a bomb in front of the police station. If I catch him, I will skin him alive!"
Bai Qi at the side seemed to understand what I meant and interrupted, "Old Yang, you don't understand what Ji Wen meant. What was the motive for that person to do this? Revenge? Or something else? I think this is the real point."
Officer Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Bai, we police officers offend so many people every day, but I have never seen anyone dare to retaliate against us so boldly."
"But now we see it."
Bai Qi said, turning to the police officer who was cleaning up the mess behind him and said, "Go to the monitoring room immediately to check the surveillance video just now, and bring us the image of the middle-aged man with the black handbag. If this man really has a grudge against the police, I'm sure we can recognize him."
The police officer nodded, turned around and ran towards the monitoring room.
Officer Yang sighed and said, "Let's go and continue to interrogate Zhang Peng. He said before that there is a clue that seems to lead to the man in the windbreaker. I always feel that compared with Zhang Peng, the heart-digger, the man in the windbreaker is more terrifying."
When I mentioned Zhang Peng, I felt as if my head exploded. The uneasy feeling that I had felt in the interrogation room but couldn't remember suddenly reappeared in my mind. I immediately turned around and ran into the hall, carefully observing every police officer who was cleaning around me. I immediately realized that something was wrong and ran towards the interrogation room!
Just now, I finally remembered why I felt something was wrong, because when the young police officer entered the interrogation room to report the situation, although he was wearing a police uniform and a hat, his pants and casual shoes betrayed him, because all the police officers in the entire hall were dressed in the same uniform, police uniform and leather shoes.
Moreover, when the young policeman came in, he covered his mouth and coughed violently, so his face could not be seen clearly. When I came out, I found that although there was a fire in some places outside, the smoke was not that thick. It was obvious that the young policeman did not want us to see him clearly.
After thinking about this, I understood a lot of things. The explosion outside was not caused by someone to retaliate against the police, but to divert the police's attention. The target was probably Zhang Peng who was locked in the interrogation room.
I rushed into the interrogation room in two steps, but when I saw the scene in front of me clearly, my legs almost went weak and I almost fell to the ground!
Officer Bai Qi Yang and others who arrived later were also shocked by the scene before them. Officer Yang cursed and immediately called the police officers who were cleaning up the mess outside to come and help. The entire police station was completely sealed off and no one was allowed to leave.
At this moment, the interrogation room was filled with blood. The two police officers who had been guarding Zhang Peng fell to the ground powerlessly. Blood was still oozing out of their throats that had been cut by a sharp weapon. Their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen something incredible before they died.
Zhang Peng, who was originally locked on a chair, has now been released and is sitting against the wall. There is a horrible bloody hole in his chest, from which blood continues to flow. Inside the bloody hole, the heart that should have been beating has now completely disappeared.
Seeing such a bloody scene, Zhang Qishan, who had heard the news, bent over and vomited. Some young police officers could not accept such a scene and started vomiting as well.
Bai Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and he walked into the interrogation room. He first checked the two fallen police officers, shook his head helplessly, and then walked in front of Zhang Peng. Looking at Zhang Peng's smiling face, he sighed and said, "It's obvious now that the explosion at the door just now was to lure us out. Ji Wen, did you guess something, so you ran back in a hurry?"
After I saw how Zhang Peng died, my brain went blank. I didn't know what my emotions were at the time. I felt angry, guilty, and sad. Only after hearing Bai Qi's words did I break free from that emotion, but tears fell uncontrollably.
No matter whether Zhang Peng is a heart-breaker or how evil he is, to be honest, he is really good to me. I think it will be difficult for me to find such a boss in the future.
I reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, nodded gently and said, "Yes, I did suspect that something might have happened here, but unfortunately I was still a step too slow and that guy pretending to be a policeman succeeded."
As I was talking, I lowered my head in self-blame, but Bai Qi suddenly shouted, "Wait, there are words here!"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, all of us immediately rushed over and followed Bai Qi's gaze, and we found that on the ground next to Zhang Peng, there was a line of words written in blood. It looked like the murderer had written it with the blood on Zhang Peng's hand, but it couldn't have been written by Zhang Peng. A person with his heart dug out would not be able to write anything with a clear mind.
"You are the only one who has ever beaten me. This time you barely satisfied me. I hope you won't disappoint me next time." The signature at the end was the word "Qiongqi".
When I saw this text, I was first interested in the signature of Qiongqi. I also like to read fantasy novels. Qiongqi seems to be some kind of mythical beast, but I don’t know what it does.
Besides, no one knows who he left this message for. It seems a bit confusing and feels like a secret code.
Not only me, but everyone present was puzzled by this message, except for one person who, when he saw the signature "Qiongqi" at the end, fell into a state of utter shock!
This person is Bai Qi, the leader of the special case team.
"How could this happen? How could he have done this? It's impossible!"
Looking at Bai Qi who was out of control like this, anyone with a discerning eye would understand that Bai Qi must know this so-called Qiongqi.
"Uncle Bai, do you know this Qiongqi? Who is he?"
I went forward and tried to ask Bai Qi, but Bai Qi was still in disbelief. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at Officer Yang seriously and said, "Have someone deal with the body immediately, and then retrieve the surveillance video from the interrogation room. Other people who are not involved, please leave first. I have something important to say."
The police officers immediately made a record of the scene and left with the three bodies. Zhang Qishan refused to leave no matter how hard they tried, so Officer Yang had no choice but to keep her.
Seeing that everyone who should have left had left, Bai Qi sighed and said, "Speaking of this Qiongqi, he is also a rare talent!"
