Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

The igniter came out smoothly, and ten seconds passed without incident.

Another ten seconds passed, and Xia Yi sat down on the ground, only to belatedly realize that his back was already wet with sweat.There was a burst of cheers in the headset, and the professional EOD team entered the arena and immediately transferred the detonators.

However, the problem has not been completely solved, and the progress bar is only halfway.

There is also a pine bomb under Shao Lin's feet - although this kind of pine mine has a simple structure and extremely low cost, it is the most difficult type of mine to dismantle. Generally, professionals use EOD instead of bomb disposal.

The EOD team made a comprehensive assessment of Song Falei: "Now we have two ideas. The first is to find heavy objects to replace the pressure on the stage. However, people can control the force at any time, but heavy objects cannot. We are very It is difficult to calculate the load of the current movable board, if there is a movement up and down, triggering the fuze, the workers near the explosive may be injured."

"The second way is to stabilize the telescopic frame downstairs, such as sticking something in the gap, such as a blanket. After the people evacuate, the robot will detonate. What do you think?"

In fact, the second method also has similar risks. After all, using something to block the lifting frame cannot guarantee that the spring will not move up and down in a small scale, thus accidentally detonating.

"Risks are inevitable. Just in case, this comrade must put on an explosion-proof blanket." The staff of the EOD team nodded to Shao Lin, "Even if the explosion is unfortunately triggered, there will be at least a delay of about 5 seconds. This Lei's lethality is not strong, and it is estimated that he can only blow a hole in the middle of the stage. The time difference of 5 seconds is enough for him to leave the stage, and with the explosion-proof blanket on his body for cushioning, it should not be a big problem."

"No." Xia Yi refused straight away, "Is there a safer plan?"

"Yes, there are." The EOD team glanced at each other and said, "We can use the robot to precisely lock the elevator below, but at present, we only have the bomb disposal robot, and now we can call it to the bureau to pull the elevator The mechanical arm, we have to wait another half an hour."

"You two, what do you say?"

Xia Yi directly made a decision: "Choose the safest one."

"it is good."

Although half an hour is not a long time, Shao Lin has always controlled the strength of his legs, and every muscle has collapsed tightly. After a long time, after all, he has exhausted his energy and energy. At this moment, a thin layer of sweat has already appeared on his forehead, and his complexion looks extraordinarily pale.

Xia Yi took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat off the other party's face: "Can you still persist? Do you want to change me?"

"It's okay, I'm quite balanced now, wait for the robot."

"Okay. I'll wait with you."

Xia Yi felt that this was the first time he had stared at Shao Lin so seriously, and could clearly see the gaps between his eyelashes and even the fine hairs on his face... For no reason, a thought flashed through his mind—Shao ​​Lin is still Beautiful without glasses and no disguise at all.

It's not handsome, but a kind of cool and beautiful with a strong sense of lines.

"Come and chat, Mr. Shao. The time for chatting will pass quickly, really. Xiao Xia is a professional chatter, and it only costs fifty cents for half an hour."

Shao Lin turned his head: "Don't talk to me, distract yourself."

Xia Yi hurriedly made a gesture of "zip up" in front of her lips.

Shao Lin suddenly pointed in front of him: "Come here, squat here."

"Huh?" Xia Yi was puzzled, but obediently obeyed.He squatted on the floor and raised his head.Shao Lin reached out and stroked his thorny head, feeling very relaxed immediately.

It feels really good.

Shao Lin couldn't help sighing in his heart, pawing the dog to relieve stress, Teacher He sincerely did not deceive me.

Not long after the quiet time, Xia Yi couldn't bear it anymore.Soon, a high-spirited female voice came from his pocket again: "Good luck~ I wish you good luck~~"

……

It has to be said that the advancement of technology has greatly reduced the casualties of EOD personnel.The dispatched robot has three mechanical arms, and it firmly controls the telescopic device under the stage.After the professional team sent a confirmation signal, Shao Lin finally spent more than an hour and walked out of the auditorium with Xia Yi.

There was a "boom" behind him, and the professional team controlled the robot outside, detonating the pine thunder, and the wooden boards on the stage rushed to the roof in an instant, and fell into a rain of sawdust...

The crowd burst into cheers again, and countless people surrounded Shao Lin and Xia Yi, including some media, and the shutters kept clicking.I don't know if the crowd was too enthusiastic, but Xia Yi noticed that Shao Lin's face seemed paler than in the auditorium.

He reached out to cover his face, and Xia Yi immediately helped him drive away the media.

However, the female master of ceremonies who had been replaced before ran over again, desperately pestering Shao Lin for his contact information.

"Protecting the safety of the people is the responsibility of every policeman," Shao Lin looked at her gently with a professional smile, "if it were any one of the people present, they would help you hold down that movable board. So, Don't thank me."

Yan Jingjing listened, her big eyes rolled around, and she got into GL8 ahead of schedule.

Jiang Mo called to say that Qin Liang had been copied back to the bureau, and she specially approved the team involved in the EOD to go back for repairs.Xia Yi put on a seat belt for herself: "Yan Jingjing, those experts in the group are very good, go back and treat them to a good meal, and communicate and learn more in the future."

The little girl in the back row nestled in the seat, and gave a sleepy "hmm", as if she was not in a good mood.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Yi turned his head strangely, "Qin Liang caught it, and both bombs were safely dismantled. Where did you go to find such a successful case? Why do you still have such an expression?"

Yan Jingjing pouted and said, "It's all pretty good." While speaking, she secretly glanced at Shao Lin, and then quickly looked away.

The little girl is usually the closest to Shao Lin in the bureau, and she usually jumps up and down around people when she has nothing to do, saying "Teacher Shao" one by one.But this time, when the person walked out of the auditorium with great difficulty, Yan Jingjing started to look away, and Xia Yi felt that something was wrong.

He poked his head out from the front, and after a while of pressing questions, Yan Jingjing faltered and uttered what was in his heart.

It turned out that when Yan Jingjing saw the hostess standing on the stage shaking like a sieve, she had an idea in her heart—she thought she should go up and fix the movable board for her.After all, she was the closest police officer to the hostess at the time.However, when Yan Jingjing thought that there might really be a bomb buried under the movable panel, she suddenly became frightened again.As soon as she got scared, she started to "busy" and started to evacuate the students, using "it is more useful to handle electronic equipment by herself" as an excuse to avoid the idea just now.

Then, she saw Shao Lin running over from a distance and replacing him.

The more Yan Jingjing confessed, the more guilty she felt. She felt that she had failed the people, the party, and the expectations of her in this police uniform.The more the little girl thought about it, the more sad she became, so she cried "wow": "Group, group leader, am I not suitable for this job... woo woo woo..."

Shao Lin handed over a stack of toilet paper from the toolbox: "Nothing. Without you, who would crack the code of the first bomb?"

Yan Jingjing blew her nose forcefully: "Then should I go to Internet investigation, woo, shouldn't I be a front-line field worker... I'm really scared... woo..."

"Are you stupid?" Xia Yi put his palm on her head and said earnestly, "It's normal to be afraid. It's not normal to not be afraid if you have bombs under your feet. Besides, when we go on a mission, when will you be afraid?" Has it been the turn of a newcomer? The sky is falling, and it won’t be your turn to stand up with a one-year intern. The last time I didn’t bring enough guns, the only one. Didn’t Deputy Jiang throw it to Fuzi for self-defense? But Fuzi Who can you hit with the marksmanship, don’t you think so?”

Yan Jingjing couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"Do you know why the police force has kept this tradition?" Xia Yi suddenly turned serious, and said slowly, "That's because, one day, you will have rich experience and be able to take the lead—you will also protect you like your predecessors That way, to protect the newcomers in the future."

Xia Yi paused and lowered his voice: "The courage of each of us comes from inheritance."

Yan Jingjing's rabbit eyes widened, and she looked at Xia Yi with watery eyes: "Group, group leader..."

"Cry, cry, cry, still cry! If you cry again, I'll drive you down!" Xia Yi suddenly turned his face, cursing, "Your teacher Shao didn't cry yet, it's just you crying, it's embarrassing, isn't it embarrassing, huh?!"

Yan Jingjing stopped crying suddenly, and said to herself: Is the group leader hinting to her that she wants to be alone with Teacher Shao, to comfort Teacher Shao?After all, after experiencing such an exciting experience together, we must need some alone time!

Then what kind of light bulb is she still using in the car!

"I understand! Thank you, team leader! Goodbye, team leader!" Yan Jingjing immediately pushed the door and went out without looking back.

With a "bang", the car door closed, and Yan Jingjing rushed to another police car.

Xia Yi was at a loss: "Did I say the wrong thing again?"

Shaolin smiled lightly.

Xia Yi looked out of the car window, and Yan Jingjing seemed to be jumping up and down again.He shook his head and said that the little girl should treat you as a hero later.

Shao Lin lowered his eyes, and there was no emotion between his eyebrows, neither the exhaustion after the thrilling, nor the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.After a while, he said lightly: "Xia Yi, don't think too well of me."

Xia Yi was puzzled: "What?"

"I'm not as good as you think." Shao Lin repeated again, explaining in a low voice, "I'm not out of a lofty sense of responsibility for that host..."

He hesitated for a moment, then whispered a word: "It's just for myself."

Xia Yi looked at him silently.

Shao Lin didn't speak anymore.He thought, what Xia Yi said was right: it is normal to be afraid, it is abnormal not to be afraid.But just now, the moment he rushed up to replace the hostess, he didn't feel scared at all.If he was telling the truth, what he was thinking of was not any responsibility, but seeking self-comfort.

For a long time, in his subconscious, there has always been a voice that kept shouting—why are you still alive—as if, that year on the Penglai Princess, if he was really killed with the search and rescue boat, it would be a redemption. all his sins.

In psychology, this state is called "survivor's guilt."

Since the explosion of the Penglai Princess last year, he is a soldier who has never returned from the battlefield. His soul is trapped in the raging sea, floating day and night.

"No matter what you say." Xia Yi squeezed Shao Lin's hand that was still resting on the toolbox, "I just think you are very good. So I will treat you to coffee and donuts after leaving school."

"What?" Shao Lin recovered from the memories, and frowned, "No. I don't like that. It tastes a bit like coffee saccharin disinfectant."

"You're lying again!" Xia Yi howled, "In the auditorium in the afternoon you said you wanted coffee and donuts the most!"

Shao Lin: "..."

"Okay, big liar. Tell me, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you."

"I don't want to eat anything, I just want to go back to sleep."

"Okay, then go back to sleep."

GL8 started slowly, and Yan'an City stepped on the evening again, and it started to rain.

Shao Lin pressed his forehead against the car window, listening to the raindrops outside pattering on the glass, but it seemed to be falling softly on his heart.

"Xia Yi." He suddenly laughed silently.

The wipers slid across the window, and the driver turned the steering wheel: "Huh?"

"I'll give you a promise." Shao Lin said softly, "From now on, you can trust everything I say to you."

……

At night, the rain "rustles" non-stop.

A pair of slender white jade feet stepped on the blanket with bare feet.

The woman stretched out her hand and picked up a white rose from the vase. A series of Gothic churches were painted on her nails, painted in black and white with silver sequins, small and delicate.Suddenly, the woman let out an "ah" and threw the rose on the ground, a bright red color suddenly bloomed on her index finger.

She said angrily and coquettishly, "Why haven't the thorns disappeared?"

Behind him came a man's deep, smoky voice: "What's the point of a rose that has its thorns removed?"

The woman turned her head, rubbed against the edge of the chair and acted like a baby: "But it hurt me."

"White Rose, I always feel dull when I look at it," the man put the book in his hand on his knee, reached out to hold the woman's hand, and slowly wiped the blood from her fingertips onto his lips.The man licked his lips and said with a low laugh, "It looks good with some blood."

The woman "giggled" and hooked the man's neck like a pet: "But are you willing to let others see the blood? I heard that today is about G-Host, so you are anxious."

The man didn't lift his eyelids: "How nice he is."

"Would you like to have me?" The woman simply sat on him, her slender waist exposed under the camisole.There, too, was a gothic black rose tattooed on it.

……

Early the next morning, Shao Lin returned to the bureau.

The reception room said that he received a large bouquet of flowers, which was sent by the hostess and his wife's family yesterday, and they were delivered directly to the bureau.

Shao Lin took the bouquet with some embarrassment, but unexpectedly, Shao Lin found another exquisite card in the ordinary bouquet.This time, six numbers—"6, 1, 3, 8, 2, 5"—were written in red ink.
