More than ten minutes later, more than a dozen fire trucks arrived at the scene. A cordon was set up, and firefighters, armed with professional firefighting equipment, slowly brought the fire under control.
At this time, in addition to the onlookers, there were also a lot of reporters and various self-media active on Weibo blocking the warehouse.
These personal media outlets are either smelling money or serving the people behind the scenes; in any case, they are very active.
For fear of accidents, the twenty or so people brought by Brother Chao have left the warehouse and hid in the logistics company's building, not daring to go out.
Brother Chao stood in front of the window, frowning as he looked at the crowd of people outside, then looked at the warehouse where the fire was gradually being suppressed. He felt extremely nervous.
The warehouses were almost completely burned down, and large areas of cargo boxes were soaked and exposed to the public.
…
At the same time, Longcheng Police Station.
Shang Yao sat in the office, looking at the phone screen with a gloomy expression.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
The phone suddenly rang, interrupting the live broadcast. Shang Yao glanced and found that it was Jiang Zheng calling. He thought for a moment before answering the call: "Hello?"
Jiang Zheng said hurriedly on the phone: "Shangshu, you have to find a way to delay the time! Because of the fire, there are still a lot of goods in the warehouse that have not been taken away in time!"
Shang Yao was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Tell me, how can we delay time? Turn on your phone and see how many people are live streaming? There are words written on the wall, and public opinion has risen! The public is now more curious than the police officers, what exactly is hidden in the warehouse."
Jiang Zheng said hurriedly, "Don't worry, give me a little more time, I promise to finish it! The troops have been dispatched there now, just say it's military secrets, and let the troops take it away directly! Commercial Office! As long as the goods are not opened on the spot, then whatever we say is reasonable! Even if there is a little conflict on the spot, it can be explained, do you understand?"
Shang Yao thought about it for a moment and said nothing.
Jiang Zheng's tone slowed down slightly: "Commercial Office, if so many goods are exposed, it will not only be troublesome for us, but also for you, right?"
Shang Yao sighed: "Just hurry up."
"Okay!" Jiang Zheng hung up the phone immediately.
Shang Yao rubbed his forehead while calling his police captain, Lao Wu, and instructed: "The team will set out now, but it will take a little longer on the way. Also call the local police chief and ask them to arrive a little later..."
…
Downstairs, Wang Daolin changed back into his police uniform and hurried upstairs while watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone.
At this time, the blogger in the picture was talking to the camera: "Family, it has been 40 to 50 minutes since the fire, and our live broadcast has been almost half an hour. But there is still no police officer on the scene...!"
The screen was immediately flooded with comments, some saying that the blogger was about to be finished, some raising question marks, and some criticizing the Police Department.
Wang Daolin walked to the director's office, turned off the live broadcast, and pushed the door open and walked in.
Shang Yao sat at his desk and looked up at Wang Daolin: "You're here?"
Wang Daolin walked quickly to the desk and asked in a slightly hurried tone, "Commercial Office, I have already communicated with the police superintendent in Daokou District and asked them to go to the scene. But they said that you asked... to delay it. What's going on?"
Shang Yao pointed at the chair and said slowly: "Don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly."
Wang Daolin frowned and said, "Business Office, this is urgent, we have to be impatient!"
Shang Yao put his hands in his pockets and didn't beat around the bush: "Old Wang, this matter involves the garrison. We can't move so quickly. We need to give them time to deal with it. Otherwise, if there is a confrontation, it will easily disrupt the upper-level layout...!"
Hearing this, Wang Daolin couldn't help but ask: "In this situation, we can't take care of them anymore! When public opinion comes together, pressure will immediately come to the police system. Normally, it's okay to turn a blind eye, but at critical moments, we have to maintain the dignity and credibility of our department."
Shang Yao waved his hand: "You don't know, in that warehouse..."
"I know this better than anyone else, but I just don't usually talk about it. There is a person behind the scenes, that's for sure, right?" Wang Daolin interrupted Shang Yao directly: "How do you know that this person is not targeting the police station?! If we drag it out, the rhythm will be lost... and we will be slapped in the face!"
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stiff. Shang Yao tapped his fingers on the table and told Wang Daolin: "As long as we let the troops take the things away, we can completely push 456! Let the garrison solve the problem themselves... But now that it is revealed in front of us, will we have no pressure? How much stuff! How do you explain it?"
Wang Daolin's tone became more and more urgent: "Director, I don't agree with you! Our principle is that we can't let the public question the credibility of the police department just because we want to protect the garrison! If we do this, we will definitely be scolded! I know Director Su very well. If this matter gets out of hand, the police department will definitely be shaken... I have to go to the scene!"
After saying that, Wang Daolin turned around and walked out the door.
Shang Yao stood up hurriedly and shouted at him, "Wang Daolin, wait a minute! Don't be so impulsive! If you go a little later, everything will be over over there!"
Hearing this, Wang Daolin turned his head and looked at Shang Yao, saying loudly: "If there is really someone behind the scenes causing trouble! Even if I give you another hour, you still won't be able to transport those goods!"
After saying that, Wang Daolin slammed the door and left.
Shang Yao sat heavily on the chair, his face extremely gloomy.
…
After a while, Lu Guangwei's car stopped at the side door of Warehouse No. 2. He did not rush to get out of the car, but slowly rolled down the window to observe the situation outside.
The fire in the warehouse had been completely extinguished, and many cargo boxes were exposed. A large number of reporters and self-media were gathered outside the gate, constantly filming the warehouse.
Lu Guangwei frowned and was about to call Jiang Zheng to urge him to hurry up.
Just at this moment, a loud siren sounded. He turned back suddenly and stood there in a daze.
The crowd parted, and more than a dozen police cars drove directly into the warehouse yard and stopped in front of the door.
Wang Daolin pushed open the car door and got out with a large number of police officers.
"Old Wu, you lead the team to control the scene! The rest of you, follow me into the warehouse." After giving the order, Wang Daolin led a dozen police officers towards the warehouse.
Hearing the sirens, Brother Chao and his men had already walked out of the building and stood in front of the warehouse. Wang Daolin looked at them, frowned and asked, "Who among you is the person in charge? Come with us to the warehouse. Someone reported you for hiding psychotropic drugs!"
Brother Chao hurried over, leaned against Wang Daolin, and whispered, "Leader, we have military supplies here. The higher-ups have already said that the military vehicles will be here soon."
Wang Daolin cursed directly: "What a bullshit military supplies! Follow me in!"
After saying that, Wang Daolin had someone escort the somewhat panicked Brother Chao into the warehouse.
"Open the box and check!" Following Wang Daolin's order, the police officers stepped forward, opened the box, and saw a large amount of psychotropic drugs inside.
"Is this military supplies?" Wang Daolin glanced at Brother Chao and said, "Come on, line up and put on the handcuffs yourself!"
The police officers rushed forward and quickly controlled the twenty-odd people.
In the distance, Lu Guangwei, who was sitting in the car, saw this scene. His eyes were gloomy, and he immediately urged: "Drive, let's go!"
…
It was past ten o'clock in the evening. After Su Tianyu finished his meeting, he walked while checking his phone, watching various live broadcasts and trending searches on Twitter.
After sorting out all the information, Su Tianyu felt something was wrong. He immediately turned around and shouted, "Monkey, help me arrange a flight immediately. I have to go back to Longcheng."
