Criminal Investigation Team 1: The Next Suspect

Zhao Ying received the task of interviewing the homeless people in Dongqiao at midnight today.

In fact, this kind of task was handed over to a few male reporters in the station in the past, but she has a strong temper and speaks straight. A few days ago, she accidentally offended Director Zhang, so she was sent to do this kind of coolie program up.

She is just a little unknown reporter. She was assigned to the radio station a few years ago, and her talents cannot be displayed, so she is inevitably depressed.Fortunately, in the past few years, what she has experienced has not wiped out her conscience, and she always remembers her original intention back then.

The world is covered by a sheet of snow, and what they have to do is to uncover the layer of snow and dig out the rotten truth inside.

Zhao Ying came back to her senses and tightened her thin coat. The temperature difference between day and night in the north is huge. Although it is summer, the wind still brings a little bit of coolness.

She quickly searched the surroundings with her eyes, and set her target on a few homeless people in the bridge hole.She glanced at the cameraman. The photographer was tall and thick. He might be used to carrying machines. His arms were a few circles thicker than others. With him by his side, even if the homeless man made any dangerous moves, the chance of accidents would be small. a lot of.Director Zhang is a smart person, and he would not be so stupid as to let her go out to find news in the middle of the night alone. If something really happened, he would have to blame it all on himself.

He simply wanted to take revenge on this straight-talking female reporter who didn't know what to do.

Zhao Ying carefully observed the homeless men in front of her. Most of them were dressed in rags, and their hair and beards were long. They were tangled together because they had not been cleaned for a long time. Their faces were so dark that they could not see their original appearance. A few thin newspapers, thanks to the fact that it is summer, and in winter, I don’t know how to survive the cold night without clothes.

Zhao Ying walked closer to them. The homeless man who was lying down was awakened by the movement, and sat up suddenly, thinking that he was here to grab the territory. After seeing Zhao Ying, the original only unkind eyes began to become complicated stand up.Zhao Ying walked forward again, and smelled a fermenting smell.

The smell was really not pleasant, and there was a sour smell in the stench.

The photographer next to him frowned, unwilling to go forward, so he set up the machine on the spot, ready for the preliminary work of shooting.Zhao Ying didn't have any expression on her face. She looked at the homeless men, typed up a draft, took out a small mirror to tidy up her appearance, walked to the camera naturally, nodded to the photographer, and was ready to start.

The moment the photographer pressed the switch, he only heard a "boom" and lost consciousness.

When Zhao Ying woke up, her eyes were dark, her ears were numb, her whole body was sore, and her right hand was even numb. She thought it might be broken.She slowed down, took a few deep breaths, and slowly raised her right hand, only to see blood dripping down her cheeks, and bones were visible.But the condition of this hand was a little better than she had imagined. There shouldn't be any problems with the bones, just some skin trauma.

She struggled to get up, shook the gravel on her body, and first carefully checked the wounds on her body.Fortunately, except for the more serious skin trauma on the right hand, the rest are basically minor abrasions.

But... what happened?What happened to that loud noise just now?

Some large rocks blocked the exit, and there was no one around. The light passing through the gaps in the rocks was enough to see her environment clearly.Apart from some gravel, there was still a pool of blood under her body, which should have flowed from the injured hand.

After Zhao Ying's tinnitus got better, she heard the siren and helicopter propeller outside, but the sound passed through the gap and echoed in this relatively closed place, so it didn't sound very real.

what happened?

Did the bridge collapse, or... an explosion?This word suddenly flashed into Zhao Ying's mind.But no matter what the cause of the collapse is, the only thing we can do right now is to sit in place and wait for rescue.

Zhao Ying was injured, she didn't have much strength left, and she couldn't stand this kind of thinking. She tried her best to breathe steadily and observed her surroundings.

The cameraman from the same company was not here, and the camera and tripod were lying beside them, smashed to pieces, and the parts were scattered all over the place in a mess. However, at this time, no matter how expensive the machine is, it is not as precious as life.

Zhao Ying twisted her stiff neck, only to realize that she couldn't turn it around at all. This feeling was similar to a stiff neck.She pinched the muscles of her neck hard again, and rested for several minutes before she recovered.

Her hand accidentally touched the pocket of her trousers and found something hard inside.She took it out with doubts and looked - the phone!

This is undoubtedly a blessing in misfortune.

Zhao Ying secretly scolded herself for being a fool!She was really dizzy, her body was injured and there was light around her, so she couldn't check whether there was a rescue tool on her body in the first time.

After experiencing great joy, Zhao Ying was disappointed again, because there was no signal on the mobile phone.That’s right, it’s the same way in TV dramas. Generally, when the hero and heroine are trapped somewhere in the elevator, their mobile phone has no signal, and then they start to talk, and finally the mutual affection between enemies turns into love.

This is not some bloody youth idol drama, and there is no tall and handsome male protagonist here. There is nothing here except himself and some lifeless stones.

Zhao Ying smiled wryly at herself.

Go somewhere with light and try it!

There was a stone on top of Zhao Ying's head, and she couldn't walk upright, so she had to bend down and slowly move to the gap. Finally, she picked a relatively large gap and stretched out her mobile phone.

Zhao Ying was pleasantly surprised to find that the mobile phone had a signal!

Without thinking about it, she pressed "1" as if her body was responding automatically, and dialed the number. The note on it was "Li Xu".

The phone was connected quickly.

"Hello? Yingying?" The male voice on the other end of the phone was obviously crying, "Yingying, are you okay?" Li Xu couldn't hold back his emotions when he heard the assistant on the other end say that it was Zhao Ying who called.

Zhao Ying's voice was a little hoarse, but she could still hear the tenderness in it. As a trapped person, she wanted to come to comfort him who was far away in the company: "Li Xu, I'm fine, don't worry." Just finished speaking, There was a low sob on the other end of the phone.

Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, and didn't speak anymore, only feeling distressed and sweet.

The two have been together for three years, and Li Xu has helped her a lot professionally, otherwise she would have been driven out of the company by Zhang Cai just because of her straightforwardness.Although Li Xu is stubborn in some things, most of the time he goes along with her, that is, he can't express it verbally, and he has never said any sweet words, and he doesn't create any romance.

Although the family said that those men who can speak sweet words are unreliable, only people like Li Xu who are good-looking, have a relatively high career and income can live a stable life.Although she promises, she is still a woman and an auditory animal after all, and she only hopes to receive a bouquet of flowers or small gifts every now and then.

Zhao Ying never thought that this tall and somewhat proud man would actually cry for her.

When the sobbing on the other end gradually stopped, Zhao Ying said, "Don't cry, am I alright?"

"Where are you? Don't move around, someone...someone will save you in a while." Li Xu hiccupped, "How much power is left? Can you video? I want to see you."

Zhao Ying is used to using her right hand, but after holding the phone for such a long time after being injured, now she only feels that her entire right arm is numb, and she feels that she is about to be unable to hold the phone.

She stretched her hand back, moved it a few times, switched to the video interface, and held the phone outside with her left hand.The posture is uncomfortable, but Zhao Ying can't care about these anymore, she has just experienced life and death, and now she just wants to see the person she loves the most.

The mobile phone signal here is only three bars, and the network is not good, but it is connected anyway.

Although the signal was not good, the mobile phone still made a "stinging" sound, and the lovers finally got their wish to see each other.The video was blurry, but Zhao Ying could still see Li Xu's red eye circles.

There were a lot of people on Li Xu's side, and the voices were very mixed. It seemed that they were in the live broadcast hall.There are two men behind him, very faceless, with serious expressions.

She was afraid that Li Xu would not see her and was anxious, so she said softly: "Look, am I okay?" After speaking, she stretched out her right hand with difficulty, and waved a scissors hand at him playfully.

Although she didn't know whether the current predicament was caused by natural disasters or man-made disasters, she still didn't want Li Xu to worry.She didn't realize how important she was to Li Xu until today when Li Xu cried for her.

It's not that she doesn't know how insidious Li Xu is in his profession, and it's not that she doesn't know how many conscientious things he does behind the director's back, but when she thinks about this man who always puts herself first, when she thinks about this man's clumsy Her confession and obedience to herself made her heart soften into a puddle of water.

No matter how bad a person is, if he is kind to you from the bottom of his heart, you can't hate him.

"You're injured! You said you're fine!" Probably seeing Zhao Ying's bloody right hand, Li Xu's voice was anxious and low, fearing that if his voice was too loud, he could knock down the stone over there with his mobile phone.

"Only this hand suffered skin trauma, and everything else is fine." Zhao Ying started to talk about business, "By the way, why did the bridge collapse? Although it was midnight, there were probably many people on the bridge when I interviewed .”

The signal on Zhao Ying's side was not good, and there was an echo, but Li Xu could still hear the seriousness in her tone, and sighed: "The terrorists detonated it, let's not talk about it. How is your side? Knowing the exact location is Where? We have the police here, tell them so they can help."

"I'm under the East Bridge," Zhao Ying just wanted to continue, when she saw Li Xu turn around and say something to the two men behind him, but she couldn't hear the details, but it was probably guessed that these two were the policemen Li Xu was talking about.

Seeing that Li Xu turned his head back again, Zhao Ying said, "Brother Sun was with me, but he disappeared." The brother Sun she was talking about was the photographer and her old partner. He was very honest and took good care of him. Zhao Ying and Li Xu often heard her mention this person.

"Everything will be fine. I have already told the police, and they will definitely rush to save you." Li Xu comforted her softly, trying to convey some positive energy to her.In this situation where the life and death of people around you is uncertain, the easier it is for people to give up on themselves, the easier it is to lose hope.Many trapped people voluntarily gave up their lives because they could not wait for rescue.

The machine was smashed like that, if it was a human... Zhao Ying didn't dare to think about it, she just prayed in her heart that nothing would happen.

"Yingying, everything will be fine, your luck has always been good, you will be fine."

Suddenly, Zhao Ying heard a faint groan, and wanted to calm down and listen, but the noise of the mobile phone was too loud, and she was afraid that she might have auditory hallucinations.

"Wait a minute," Zhao Ying put her index finger in the center of her lips, "don't talk yet." Although Li Xu was puzzled, he obediently stopped talking.Zhao Ying turned off the voice function to prevent the sound of "thrilling, stabling" signal from the mobile phone from affecting her judgment.

Sure enough, the faint groan she heard just now was not her auditory hallucination, because this time she clearly heard someone shouting "Help—Help", although the voice was extremely small, she could still hear it. A great desire to survive.

She will quickly turn on the voice function again, "Someone is calling for help here, I'll go and see first, I won't talk to you."

"Wait a minute, don't mess around—" Before Li Xu finished "moving", Zhao Ying hung up the phone.
