The exploded warehouse was not that far from the police station, otherwise the shock wave would not have been felt in the dormitory.
But there are strong vibrations here, which is enough to illustrate the power of the explosion.
Mei Qian didn't know why there was an abandoned warehouse in the center of the city. Since the address was exposed, why the explosion was arranged.
After receiving a mysterious phone call, an explosion immediately occurred. If it was an accident, it would not be justified.
Trap or warning threat?
He would never think that the person who called him had good intentions.
At this time, Ning Chi withdrew his gaze and said with some confusion: "I heard the sound as if there was a secondary explosion, and judging from the reaction of the fireworks and the color of the smoke, it was not just explosives."
"Can you see this?" Mei Qian looked at him unexpectedly. Even his ears couldn't tell the difference. He didn't expect that the other party could deduce so many things without being there.
Ning Chi coughed and said with embarrassment: "I've seen it before." Then he asked again: "Brother, are you thinking too much? As a writer, what do you have to warn and threaten?"
"How do I know what people's brains are like?" Mei Qian was also helpless. Why is it so difficult to be a writer honestly? Either he was stabbed in the back by the world, or someone came to trouble him.
After asking, Ning Chi remembered his boss's extraordinary luck and was speechless for a moment.
Of course, it's useless for them to speculate here. It's hard to go out now and they can only wait for the police's investigation results.
Today's self-media is really powerful. Not long after the explosion occurred, Maomao, who was far away in Xiadu, received the news and called.
After all, a car bomb was discovered yesterday, and a big explosion occurred today. It would be strange not to worry.
When she answered the phone, Mei Qian did not convey any tangled emotions through words, her voice was calm and relaxed, and she assured that the matter had nothing to do with her, and she would only give up on the other party.
However, when he hung up the phone, he frowned and stared at the screen, and then sighed silently after a long time.
When it was dinner time, Zhang Yu hurried back again. Compared with when he set out, his face was not so ugly now.
"Someone ignited the explosives and detonated the underground natural gas pipeline. A secondary explosion occurred, so it was very powerful. Fortunately, it had been abandoned there, otherwise the damage would have been huge."
Mei Qian glanced at Ning Chi, who was lying on the bed playing games, and then asked: "What are the casualties?"
After Zhang Yu's explanation, his mood improved a lot.
The abandoned warehouse occupies a large area. Although the power of the explosion also spread to the surrounding areas, and many doors and windows of surrounding residences were damaged, no innocent people were killed. Only a few passers-by were injured by flying stones, which was considered unfortunate.
Fortunately.
However, the main reason why Zhang Yu came back so late was that he found a body that was burned beyond recognition in the warehouse.
"The forensic doctor initially determined that the deceased died before the explosion. His throat was cut with a sharp weapon, and then he was poured with gasoline and set on fire. No other human tissue has been found at the scene, so probably no one died in this explosion." Zhang Yu was weird.
said.
"With such a big explosion, there can still be complete corpses?" Mei Qian asked his question.
"The body was not at the center of the explosion, and there happened to be a large piece of equipment next to it. We have to wait for the report from the technical department to find out the details. But..." Zhang Yu looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Maybe the murderer arranged this deliberately.
The so-called gift is this corpse."
Mei Qian: "..."
I feel that this conclusion is much less reliable than my previous guess.
----------
After the bomb was defused, another explosion occurred in Linshi within a short period of time, and it was man-made.
This is close to a KB attack. Although there is no official definition, it is claimed to be a natural gas pipeline explosion, but this case has obviously been taken over by other departments.
Because on the night of the big explosion, Zhang Yu suddenly came to the door with two men in plain clothes and stern expressions.
Zhang Yu avoided it, while Mei Qian and Ning Chi were questioned separately.
During this period, the other party did not reveal his identity and it did not last long, but Mei Qian could clearly feel the difference between the other party and the police.
Mei Qian asked quietly about this, but Zhang Yu kept it secret and did not give any explanation.
This guy didn't show up again after that, and his words were vague when he called him. I don't know if he was trying to avoid suspicion or if he was really busy again.
Mei Qian realized it instantly and stopped worrying about the explosion case.
Anyway, he will know sooner or later. It will be better for himself and Zhang Yu if he listens less and asks less questions.
To be honest, after staying there for a few days, Mei Qian felt that this police officer's dormitory was not bad.
You don’t have to worry about what to eat every meal. They take the initiative to bring you whatever is available in the cafeteria. They also provide free drinks and fruits in large portions.
In addition to not being able to walk around casually, the living environment is also relatively clean, which is especially suitable for writing.
Of course, this is without outside interference.
And Mei Qian's writing plan was indeed hindered.
The main reason is that there has been too much news recently, and his name has been in the headlines for several days in a row.
First, there was a car bomb threat, and even explosive ordnance disposal experts showed up. At that time, videos shot from various angles were circulated on the Internet, and they could not be suppressed.
Everyone in the comments was wondering what kind of trouble Mei Qian had caused and had people use bombs to deal with him.
However, Mei Qian's Weibo only reported that she was safe and did not disclose any information, which led to a lot of discussion from the outside world, with various theories.
Some people even linked him to the Linshi warehouse explosion.
If the official announcement hadn't been issued in time, I don't know how he would have been arranged.
Then someone released a video of him crossing traffic, chasing people in a busy city, and finally knocking out a pedestrian with two punches.
If two police officers hadn't appeared at the end of the video to handcuff the man away, maybe Heizi would have slapped him with charges of rudeness and intentional injury.
After her previous self-deprecation in "Longing for Mountain Village" and relying on her wonderful stories, Mei Qian's reputation online has actually improved a lot.
Now that the video of "Mei Qian enthusiastically helping the police arrest the suspect" has appeared, his image in the public eye is undoubtedly more positive.
This is what Mei Qian wants to see. Of course, it would be more to his liking if nothing happened next.
Just that night, a subsidence occurred at the Xiadu subway construction site.
As time went by, more and more information was published online, and even experts from the Archeology Bureau came forward to confirm in person that there was indeed a large tomb below.
Mei Qian's name was immediately pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
This made Maomao a lot nervous, as if she was afraid that he would go to the palace again because of this incident.
However, the popularity can only be stirred up on the Internet, and there are too many comments on his Weibo, which gives him a headache.
In reality, Mei Qian did not receive a summons from the police at all.
Indeed, compared to other things, the matter of the Xiadu Tomb was the least of Mei Qian’s worries. He even hoped that the details of the tomb would be announced as soon as possible.
After his novel was published, the Xiadu Metro announced the specific route, and the route was changed once for unknown reasons.
If the Construction Bureau does not change the route, some people may say that it has channels to obtain the information in advance, and is still suspected of being a tomb robber. Pointing out the location of the ancient tomb is provoking the police.
But after rerouting, a large tomb was dug out, so who can blame him?
It would be better if the furnishings and layout in the ancient tomb were exactly the same as those described in his novels.
I dare not say that Mei Qian will be cleared of suspicion at that time, but the suspicion of the police, which was held on his head before, is somewhat untenable.
Yes, what the unlucky writer wrote overlaps with reality. It has nothing to do with anything else. It is purely a contradiction.
