At nearly ten o'clock at night, the criminal police captain on duty reported to Xiong Jiandong that the fugitive Dong Liu, who was suspected of harming Commissioner Hua and Qin Xinru at the construction site in the Youhu Scenic Area, had been arrested.
The criminal police captain also reported another incredible warning to Xiong Jiandong.
He said that he received an emergency call from 110 a few minutes ago. A woman anonymously called the police on a public phone. Someone would go to the Wanshui Gate Dam construction site to carry out an explosion tonight.
Xiong Jiandong frowned in thought, thinking that this might be a threat or a prank to tease the police.
Terrorist attacks will not fall on the small city of Huaishang.
But what we have to be careful of is that there are currently many villains who intend to retaliate against social injustice. The safety of the Wanshui Gate Dam, the construction of the Youguan Youhu Film and Television Base downstream, and half of the city in Huaishang. Once the warning is true, the consequences will be disastrous.
Xiong Jingzhao did not dare to hesitate and decided to personally take a few police officers on duty and go directly to the Wanshuizha Dam to understand the situation in case of an unexpected incident. At the same time, he arranged for the criminal police captain to be in charge and immediately start interrogating Dong Liu overnight.
A few minutes later, Xiong Jiandong took three of his subordinates, put on their firearms and set off in a car.
After more than 40 minutes of emergency running, they arrived at the Wanshui Gate Dam at 11 o'clock in the evening.
The construction workers were on holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xiong Jiandong finally found the person in charge of the construction site and asked if anything unusual had happened in the past few days.
The person in charge of the construction site duty responded that there were no other unexpected incidents except the discovery of a missing speedboat.
They originally thought that the speedboat broke off its rope and floated away with the wind and current, but they sent people to search for it along the river for a long time, but they still haven't found it yet.
Xiong Jiandong suddenly became alert and hurriedly asked when the speedboat was lost?
The person in charge of duty replied that the speedboat disappeared that afternoon.
Xiong Jiandong felt that the matter was more serious than expected, so he immediately called the Linhuai County Police and asked them to urgently gather dozens of special police officers and rush to the nearest Wanshuizha Dam for support.
Then, he ordered the personnel on duty to wake up everyone on the construction site, strictly divided them into four groups:
Two police officers each bring several people to guard the two ends to prevent anyone from entering the dam; the other police officer, cooperated by a worker who can drive a speedboat, patrols the downstream water surface; Xiong Jiandong himself drives a speedboat alone, targeting
Warning will be carried out on the water surface upstream of the gate.
With everything in place, Xiong Jiandong quickly jumped on a speedboat and drove slowly along the Wanshui Gate Dam alone, carefully searching the water.
He checked back and forth several times until he confirmed that everything was normal before he felt a little relieved.
The water surface is wide and quiet, and the wind is cool and refreshing, giving people a chill of autumn.
Xiong Jiandong turned off the engine and daydreamed about the twinkling stars.
Now that my daughter is gone, there should be an extra star in the sky.
There was a kind of expectation in his heart, and he really wanted to know which one among the stars would be his wife and which one would be his daughter.
At this moment, Xiong Jiandong suddenly noticed that a cloud of mist gradually rose in the sky over the Jiaolong Temple not far away, and was drifting towards a river bend not far from him.
When the clouds and mist dispersed, it seemed that a dragon was clearly visible, diving into the middle of the river in the moonlight.
He was surprised. Could it be that there really was a dragon that was being told, but he could see that the fairy would appear tonight.
According to legend, the Jiaolong Temple is dedicated to the shrine of King Jiao of Huai River. In the city of Huai River, there is a road called Jiaowang Street. There is also a place called Jiaolong Bay near Wanshuizha Dam.
.
No, I must be seeing it wrong, or there is a phantom in my brain.
Today is August 16th.
The moon was big and round, but it looked cold and lonely, moving little by little to the west in the starry sky. This made Xiong Jiandong's tense nerves gradually relax a lot.
He began to think about several questions in his mind: Who would blow up the dam? Why would the dam be blown up? What would be the means of blowing up the dam?
At this moment, a "chunk" sound came from the distance.
Xiong Jiandong quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist, realizing that the dangerous moment had arrived.
The sound of "chu tu" is getting closer and closer.
The two police officers and several workers guarding the sluice dam looked at the water upstream of Xiong Jiandong in fear.
A few hundred meters away from the lock, a speedboat appeared.
Xiong Jiandong pushed the bullet into the chamber of the gun, started the engine and headed forward.
In the moonlight, he saw two men standing on the speedboat, with items piled high behind them.
The other party didn't seem to expect that another speedboat would appear head-on, and the speed suddenly slowed down.
Xiong Jiandong shouted loudly and asked: "Who are you? Take the speedboat to the shore for inspection!"
The two people on the other side's speedboat whispered a few words in a hurry, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the sluice.
In an emergency, Xiong Jiandong fired a warning shot into the air.
Seeing that the other man had no intention of flinching, he decisively aimed at one of the men and shot. The man who was hit leaned back and fell into the speedboat. The other man immediately jumped into the water.
The unmanned speedboat continued to gallop and was about to pass by Xiong Jiandong and rush towards Wanshui Gate.
At the critical moment, Xiong Jiandong could no longer hesitate for a moment, so he immediately adjusted his angle, lowered his iron core, and resisted the attack.
In the blink of an eye, the two speedboats collided.
Accompanied by the huge explosion that resounded through the night sky, a large fire suddenly rose up, illuminating the entire Wanshui Gate Dam red.
…
More than twenty hours after the operation, Qin Xinru let out a few groans of pain and opened her eyes slightly.
The last memory that remained in her mind was the grievance and sadness she felt a few days ago, because in her mind, she still didn't understand what she had done wrong, which made Hua Nianping suddenly feel disgusted and indifferent towards her.
When she was slowly regaining consciousness, she heard a soft call: "Xinru!"
This familiar voice was filled with concern and warmth that she had never experienced before, causing a surge of heat to well up in her heart, and she suddenly burst into tears.
Qin Xinru suspected that she was in a dream.
Hua Nianping put his face in front of Qin Xinru's eyes, suppressed his inner emotions, and said, "Xinru, you finally woke up!"
Qin Xinru saw Hua Nianping's deep eyes.
She wanted to move, but there was no strength in her whole body, and she had no feeling in her legs. Through Hua Nianping's melancholy and deep eyes, Qin Xinru began to understand what was going on with her now.
She asked: "Am I not dead?"
Hua Nianping put Qin Xinru's hand in front of his chest with complicated emotions and said with great sadness: "Xinru, you will get better!"
Qin Xinru seemed to have remembered something, turned her face with difficulty, looked at Hua Nianping's whole body several times, and asked, "Are you injured?"
Hua Nianping was touched that Qin Xinru was lying on the hospital bed at this moment after the operation, but she still showed sincere concern for him, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
He shook his head vigorously and said in tears: "No. I'm fine!"
A female nurse next to her reminded Hua Nianping: "Commissioner Hua, the patient needs to be quiet now and not get excited."
Hua Nianping followed the female nurse's advice and wiped the tears from Qin Xinru's cheeks. Silently following the nurse's instructions, Hua Nianping kept using cotton swabs dipped in water to gently moisten Qin Xinru's chapped lips until she fell asleep again.
