Swallowing the Seas

The wilderness on both sides of the road was undulating, and the ambulance honked all the way and drove forward at a high speed.

Where is this going?Bu Chonghua thought.

He saw that the road under his feet suddenly became very long, and the end was filled with darkness, loneliness and emptiness; a lighter clicked lightly from a distance, and a small cluster of flames lighted up faintly, and then drew an arc of fire in midair, patter fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the flames quickly rolled into tongues of flame, licked the stairs, climbed up the handrails, ignited the ground with a whoosh, and then ignited an endless fire like a lotus pond for thousands of miles!

Bu Chonghua's pupils dilated—on fire!

Wu Yu is still inside, what about the others?

"Wu Yu!"

Flames crackled and rolled over the wooden beams.

"come out faster!"

Black smoke billowed in the cracks in the walls and windows.

"Where are you! Come out!"

——The flames seemed to divide the sea by Moses, splitting to the left and right sides with a swish.Bu Chonghua staggered to a halt, and saw a familiar silhouette sitting against the wall by the blackened open space, his right cheek was flushed by the flames, looking at him quietly.

"...Wu Yu," Bu Chonghua murmured.

They looked at each other, and the vast and distant space became very quiet, only the crackling sound of the burning house.Wu Yu seemed to have suddenly become very young, with the tips of his hair blowing up in the wind, and the corners of his eyes were smoother than now; he looked at Bu Chonghua with a bit of nostalgia, and finally stood up, revealing that the left side had been torn to pieces by the raging fire body of.

"What are you going to do?" Bu Chonghua seemed to have a premonition, his voice trembling strangely.

"..."

"What are you going to do? Come here!"

Wu Yu didn't answer, his eyes were sad and calm, and he took half a step back.The boundless flaming lotus bloomed in full bloom at the same time with this movement, thousands of them were reflected in his eyes, and the next second he raised his hand and waved it lightly, it was a farewell gesture——

Immediately afterwards, flames shot up into the sky, engulfing the other half of his body in an instant!

"Wu Yu!"

Bu Chonghua shouted involuntarily, and chased after him, and immediately stepped into the air!

thump!

There was obviously no sound, but Liao Gang subconsciously noticed something, and suddenly raised his head from the side of the hospital bed: "Team!"

Bu Chonghua turned over and sat up, his movements were so loud that there was a whirring sound, and the infusion iron frame fell over with a clatter, almost hitting the ground, but Liao Gang quickly supported him: "Are you all right? Lie down!"

……where is this place?

The snow-white lights reflected on the four walls, and the ward was clean and bright with complete facilities.The night outside the window was already very dark, but the sound of vehicles passing by on the road was still very frequent. The clock on the wall was ticking, and the hour hand had just passed ten o'clock.

Bu Chonghua's ribs were stabbing, he was dizzy and dizzy, and his heart was still beating.After several seconds, he finally realized that the layout of this ward was no stranger to him. It was the No.1 People's Hospital of Jinhai City next to the Nancheng Sub-bureau.

He just had a dream.

"Are you really okay? Do you feel better?" Liao Gang stood up from the chair beside the hospital bed, still very worried.

"..." Bu Chonghua panted, "Why am I here?"

"You have a high fever, forty-five degrees in the morning. The county hospital said that their level is limited, and they are afraid that you will get infected all the way down, and there is no way to deal with it. Song Bureau said that we should transfer you to Jinhai as soon as possible." Hospital, by the way, brought back a wave of cult villagers from Fengyuan Village who were arrested last night—the medical conditions here are good. Once the medicine was injected with an injection, the fever returned to below 38 degrees in the afternoon. What happened to you just now? Is it a nightmare?"

Bu Chonghua nodded subconsciously, and murmured: "I dreamed of Wu..."

He stopped suddenly.

Liao Gang was puzzled: "What did you dream about?"

"...dream of fire." Bu Chonghua's Adam's apple slipped up and down, as if swallowing something instinctively, and said: "When we were investigating Gao Ling's house, someone lit a fire outside, and Wu Yu was trapped in the fire, and he couldn't get out no matter what. Come...you don't look very happy."

"Huh?!" Liao Gang said in his heart that this is not nonsense. If I were caught in the fire, I would not be happy, not only would I not be happy, but I would cry, okay?

But Bu Chonghua obviously didn't want to mention more: "Where's Wu Yu? He's back too?"

"No." Liao Gang raised his chin out of the window: "Xu Ju and the others are going to deal with the cult in Fengyuan Village, and they need someone to lead the way to identify the scene last night. I originally wanted to stay there to help, but Xu Ju said Xiao Wu It's all right, tell me to take you back to Jinhai, and they will be able to deal with it by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Bu Chonghua instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he was so burned that he was dizzy, and he didn't think of it for a while: "Wu Yu is with Xu Ju?"

Liao Gang nodded.

"...Wu Yu still listens to Bureau Xu, but there must be other leaders of the city bureau around Xu Bureau. Wu Yu may not be willing to buy the face of those people. In case of a conflict, it will be difficult to deal with it." Bu Chonghua propped his forehead and thought for a while , ordered: "You call Director Zhao of the burn department upstairs and ask him to find two interns, and drive to Fengyuan Village early tomorrow morning to pick up Wu Yu. He said that his hand was severely burned and he might have to go back for skin grafting. Definitely let it go. If there are other leaders of the municipal party committee over there asking again, let them come to me directly."

"Hey! OK!"

Liao Gang made an OK gesture, took his mobile phone and went to the window to make a call.Bu Chonghua let out a breath, leaned on the head of the hospital bed, his face was gloomy and calm, no one could see the quiet darkness in his eyes.

He thought of the silhouette across the sea of ​​flames again.

That scene was so clear that it didn't look like a dream, and even Wu Yu's young face in the firelight was vivid in his memory—his side cheeks were not as thin as they are now, his eye sockets were not as deep as they are now, and the light and shadow are softer; scars like trapped animals The tired but sharp and fierce temperament faded from him, and he stood there with his hands down, looking very calm and a little melancholy.

The tongue of fire seemed to have licked Bu Chonghua's heart from a dream, burning his heart slightly hot.

The young man in the archives photos from 13 years ago is facing the wind and the spirit is so high that people are naturally envious when they see it; Wu Yu in his dream is described as lost and depressed, like a plant that grows underground and is unknown to the world , so that when he was able to witness it by chance, he burst into a burst of joy, mixed with sourness and bitterness.

Liao Gang finished his phone call and turned back from the window.Bu Chonghua forcibly dismissed all thoughts in his mind, glanced at the case materials that Liao Gang had put on the ground, and casually flipped through a few pages.

"This is the gang of cult villagers who were interrogated overnight last night. According to what you said, the outsider who set the fire must be found first, but according to the comparison of dozens of confessions, all the hundreds of villagers arrested have relatives. There are no eligible suspects. We are expanding the scope of the investigation, and the County Public Security Bureau should send me the results of the investigation by tomorrow at the latest."

Bu Chonghua nodded and said nothing, threw the materials on the ground for a while, and said, "Run away."

"what?"

"The anti-riot brigade's work is rough. The mob came here last night. I don't know how to run. I would have run if I had been. What's more, the arsonists intended to kill people, and they may not be members of a cult. There is no reason to stay and martyr with those villagers." Chonghua took a deep breath and said, "Let's start with the ignition source and the combustion aid, and then contact the traffic control bureau to check the surveillance video. This person set the fire and whistled very accurately, and he may have been staring at me and Wu Yu all the time. Maybe they have followed us when we left Ninghe County."

Liao Gang wrote them down one by one, thought for a long time, and couldn't help but cursed: "It's so easy to find this clue of the Gao family, but it was burned down again! Who is the surname Ba? Early in the morning, I personally took someone to interrogate Gao Wei, Xiong Jinzhi and those two things, and I must pry out this clue again!"

"Did you forget that there is still one person locked up in our detention room?" Bu Chonghua raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"?" Liao Gang hesitated: "Li... Li Hongxi?"

The one surnamed Li is now No.1 on the team's hate list. That grandson is a desperate bum, his mouth is like a clam with a zipper on it, and he can't even pry it open with a jack. How can he be the entry point for the police? ?

Bu Chonghua said, "Bring me my wallet."

Liao Gang was bewildered, got up and took out the wallet from the pocket of his uniform trousers hanging on the hanger, embarrassment mixed with a trace of expectation: "Captain, look, how inappropriate this is, although I know you have the capital to spend it casually, but If you don't agree with me, I will give you money..."

Bu Chonghua took out a few photos from the inside of the wallet expressionlessly, and threw them in front of him.

"If it spreads out, it may cause people to misunderstand our relationship... what?!"

The Polaroid photos have turned white. After being smoked, roasted, jumped off a building, and fought one after another, some of them have become crumpled. However, under the light of the ward, it is still possible to clearly distinguish the naked and naked scenes. In the entangled scene, there is Li Hongxi in it!

"Oh shit!" Liao Gang's eyes lit up and said, "This fat! It's disgusting! It's hot eyes!"

"Wu Yu found a large photo album in the cellar of Gao's house. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to go out to arrest people, and I only had time to snatch a few of them, and he happened to be in it. If it wasn't because he passed the coffin so many times, That should be God's will." Bu Chonghua said: "Take it back and send it to the physical evidence room, and start arranging the third interrogation of Li Hongxi."

"I think it was specially arranged by Gao Lingzai Tian Youling, hey!" Liao Gang put those photos into his arms excitedly: "Then I'll go back first! You have nothing else to do here? Don't call any policeman Are you here to look at the infusion bottle?"

The number of female police officers in the Nancheng Branch is very small, so all internal staff under the age of 40 are collectively referred to as police women, and the conditions for external work are more relaxed, and those under the retirement age can be counted.

Bu Chonghua thought for a while: "Let Xiao Gui..."

Liao Gang said: "Xiaogui's forensic doctor is not good. Xiaogui's forensic doctor is a flower in a thousand hectares of wasteland for the technical team. Director Wang usually just lends it to us."

"...send me another copy of Nian Xiaoping's autopsy results." Bu Chonghua said coldly: "I still can't think of any connection with Nian Xiaoping, so I'll read the autopsy report and think about it while I'm free. Ponder."

"..." Liao Gang opened his mouth and silently pointed to the phone, made an OK gesture, and went to make a phone call in desperation with his tail between his legs.Bu Chonghua sat on the head of the bed and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He heard the call from the opposite side of Shaoqing, but it was answered by another duty officer in the forensic room, and said, "What? Forensic doctor Xiaogui is not here tonight. He is on a business trip to Fengyuan Village, why not?" Brother Liao asked Director Wang for a copy?"

"Wait," Bu Chonghua suddenly realized something was wrong.

Liao Gang turned his head and saw him sitting up from the hospital bed, and asked suspiciously: "What should the forensic doctor do in Fengyuan Village, the current investigation is not enough?"

"Oh, that's not true. Xiaogui's forensic doctor left early this morning, because someone died in Fengyuan Village. Xu Ju said that the county public security bureau's forensic doctors were not enough, so he asked him to go to the surgeon as soon as possible. He hasn't come back yet."

Bu Chonghua took the phone: "Who died?"

The attendant on the other side of the phone thought Liao Gang was still on the other side, and said casually: "It's a villager named Gao Jiabao. It is said that he was the leader during the cult riot last night. The hospital didn't save him—hey, did you tell me about it yourself?..."

Injured and trampled by the crowd, someone needs to identify the scene in Fengyuan Village...

Xu Ju said Xiao Wu was fine...

Bu Chonghua realized something like lightning, and his voice changed suddenly: "Is Xu Ju still in Fengyuan Village? Have you seen Xu Ju?"

"Ouch, team?" The officer on duty shuddered, standing up to attention almost reflexively: "Xu Ju just came back from the county half an hour ago, I don't know where he is now, do you want to talk to Xu Ju? I'll ask the director's office to answer." go?"

"..."

Liao Gang saw that Bu Chonghua's face was not right, and he was a little worried: "Team?"

Bu Chonghua didn't answer, and suddenly hung up the phone without saying a word, then grabbed his own mobile phone on the bedside table and started calling Wu Yu, but he dialed three times in a row, each time he hung up automatically, and no one answered!

"Do you have Wu Yu's WeChat account?"

Liao Gang was puzzled: "I really don't have this, that kid doesn't have WeChat at all..."

Bu Chonghua's heart couldn't stop sinking, and before he could finish speaking, he made a phone call to Xu Ju's private cell phone.After ringing for a long time this time, it was finally connected, and Xu Ju said leisurely: "Hello——"

"Where's Wu Yu?"

Xu Ju choked up and sighed for a while: "Calm down and listen to me, the situation is like this..."

Liao Gang leaned against the hospital bed and vaguely felt Xu Ju lowering his voice in a low voice, but he couldn't make out what he said.He didn't dare to put his ear to listen. He only saw that Bu Chonghua's face was getting worse and worse. In the end, it could be described as ugly. After about half a minute, he coldly uttered the three words "Got it", and immediately turned off the phone. a hang.

"You, the team... huh?!"

Bu Chonghua used the pillow towel to press the back of his hand to pull out the needle, got up and quickly changed his clothes, grabbed the wallet and keys, and walked out.

Liao Gang turned pale with shock: "Where are you going! Come back quickly, you haven't finished lifting the water yet!"

"Go back to the branch office." Bu Chonghua opened the door of the ward without looking back, "They locked Wu Yu up."
