"This is not a nice place. In addition to the scorched earth, there is a burning smell."
"Are you planning to come here to ask what barbecue tastes like?"
Gu Liancheng suddenly said a very tasteless joke.
But Ye Chen couldn't laugh out loud.
"This... the person who died, Su Ziheng, has something to do with me, so I want to take a look..."
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Gu Liancheng's brows furrowed even more tightly.
His tone gradually became more serious.
"How come this guy has something to do with you, Ye Chen, tell me honestly, do you know anything about this case?"
However, to Gu Liancheng's disappointment, Ye Chen just shook his head.
"I don't know. That's why I want to go to the scene to check. Maybe I can find some clues..."
Gu Liancheng was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"In that case..."
"Well, just come over here and they will let you in."
"Thanks……"
When Ye Chen arrived at the scene, he was slightly shocked by the scene in front of him.
Everywhere he looked was scorched earth, and the original asphalt road was cracked everywhere due to the intense heat caused by the burning locks.
The original green plants on both sides of the road turned into charcoal, and even the river beside the road exposed its riverbed due to the high temperature.
"Brother, this place is blocked by the police. You can't get through..."
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
The driver looked at Ye Chen who was about to get off the car and gave a kind reminder.
"Ah! Are you a policeman who came here to investigate a case?"
Ye Chen looked at the driver and smiled softly.
"Hmm...that's pretty much what it means."
After saying that, he stepped on the cracked road and walked towards the yellow warning line.
"My name is Ye Chen, and I'm here to see Officer Gu..."
He said this to the operator standing behind the blockade. The other party exchanged looks and then nodded to Ye Chen.
"Section Chief Gu has already informed us. You can just go in and walk forward to see him!"
After setting up a blockade for Ye Chen, another policeman said to him.
"Thank you!"
Ye Chen looked at the two of them with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
Just like what Gu Liancheng said, this place is indeed not a good place, and the nose is filled with a pungent smell.
The smell is emitted when things like plastic and hair are fully burned.
The so-called "barbeque aroma" is just a smell of charcoal, without any aroma at all.
"Ah...you're here!"
Gu Liancheng stood next to what looked like the wreckage of a car and waved to Ye Chen.
"Officer Gu...or should I call you Section Chief Gu now?"
Ye Chen looked at the other person and said with a smile.
"Hmph! It's up to you, police officer or section chief. No matter where I go, I'm just Gu Liancheng, a policeman."
"That's all."
Facing Ye Chen's sarcasm, Gu Liancheng just snorted coldly.
"Thank you so much this time. People like me shouldn't be allowed to go to the crime scene, right?"
Gu Liancheng shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.
"No... Anyway, there are no evidences that need to be protected here. After all, everything that should be there has been almost burned, and everything that shouldn't be has been burned. The cordon is just to tell the outside world that we are actively handling the case. Only
That’s all.”
"Besides, I'm not a stickler for rules."
"Since you said you have some relationship with this Su Ziheng, then maybe letting you in is a good choice."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, finally understanding the reason why Gu Liancheng let him in.
Then he immediately turned his attention to the wreckage of the car in front of him.
"Is this the vehicle that was killed?"
Gu Liancheng lightly scratched the back of his head.
"It's actually a bit wrong to say it was a vehicle that was killed... After all, cars within this kilometer can basically be considered vehicles that were killed."
"I can only say that this is the car our police officers were riding in at that time..."
"This is the center of the explosion."
Ye Chen nodded.
He looked up and looked not far away, where a half-destroyed traffic light stood.
"Apparently, it exploded while waiting for the traffic light..."
Gu Liancheng nodded.
"The appearance of this oil tanker is very strange. As you know, this kind of vehicle was not allowed to pass along the Second Avenue along the river."
"Weird?"
Ye Chen noticed something was wrong in Gu Liancheng's words and asked aloud.
"Yeah! I entered the surveillance cameras at all intersections along the Second Avenue, and I haven't seen any trace of this tanker today."
"That is to say... this oil tanker should have squatted somewhere in the Second Avenue along the river in advance. After seeing the police car, it slowly followed it."
"In the end, our police team chose to detonate while waiting for the traffic light!"
Ye Chen opened his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Liancheng and asked.
"Since you know this, why do you still say it was an accident?!"
"What can I do if I know? Do you want me to tell the victim's family based on this fact that your son did not die in an accident, but in a premeditated massacre?"
"What about the murderer? Based on this alone, do you dare to conclude that there is a murderer after this incident?"
"Can't you?"
"It gives people hope but destroys it irresponsibly!"
"This doesn't make sense, does it?"
"I have made it very clear just now that all evidence was burned in this fire."
"This place is just a burned-out wilderness, with nothing there, even if the truth is hidden under the soil."
"That's just one of many possibilities. Maybe I didn't say this to you."
"But Ye Chen..."
Gu Liancheng looked at him, his eyes gradually darkening.
"The police are not messengers of justice from the beginning to the end."
"understand?"
The middle-aged man's eyes directly struck Ye Chen's heart, and he slowly lowered his head.
"But...are you really willing to do it?"
"Among those police officers, there are still some who are only in their early twenties, right?"
Gu Liancheng lowered his eyebrows.
"Since I am a special police officer, of course I have the consciousness to sacrifice my life at any time."
"Okay, you've finished watching the scene. Did you find any clues?"
Ye Chen shook his head gently.
"To be honest, I have no clue. You are right. What I see in front of me is nothing but the wreckage of a car."
Gu Liancheng nodded.
"It would be great if you could understand. Well, the time is almost up and it's time for people to drag away these scraps of metal."
"Ring ring ring ring ring!!!"
Just when Ye Chen nodded and was about to leave, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
