Chapter 1278: Soulmate

Zhou Miaomiao swore that in the nineteen years of her life, she had never seen such a thrilling experience, nor had she ever seen such a tragic and shocking accident scene.

Right at the southwest gate of the shopping mall, she was just about to say goodbye to the leader and get out of the car to wait for her friend.

They had an appointment to go shopping together and buy some imported fabric to make new summer dresses.

Unexpectedly, just over fifty meters away from the right front of the car, just as the driver slowed down to prepare to park, such a sudden explosion accident happened before her eyes.

The soaring air wave shattered the glass of the shopping mall's outer wall, and the flying glass shards and building fragments directly hit the pedestrians.

In the blink of an eye, at the moment of the explosion, many people fell to the ground and couldn't get up, bleeding continuously.

Others were hit by the air wave, flew several meters away, and hit the green belt.

Today is Thursday, although it is a workday, there were still quite a few people shopping in the mall in the evening.

Among them, there was a long queue in front of the food counter, waiting for freshly baked delicacies, just thinking about buying them home to share dinner with their families.

But this sudden explosion froze time at this spot and nailed everyone's footsteps to the spot, looking at the scene in a daze.

Smoke was rolling, and time accelerated in an instant. Li Xuewu rushed out before the car stopped, and the situation before him gave him a fright.

Gravel, glass fragments, the screams of pedestrians, and the sound of fleeing gathered into a painful picture, and the crying and screaming were endless.

Even though he had experienced more extreme situations, that was on the battlefield.

These people before him were all ordinary people.

"Leader—"

Han Jiankun parked the car, jumped down quickly from the driver's seat, wanting to see how he was.

"Find a phone, call the factory!"

Li Xuewu turned his head suddenly, his eyes had become firm, and he ordered calmly: "All ambulances in the factory hospital should rush over, and the emergency room should be ready for emergency rescue, hurry!"

"Yes!"

"And the Fire Brigade—"

Han Jiankun's running footsteps stopped, and when he heard the leader's supplementary preparation to respond, he saw Li Xuewu had already run quickly towards the accident scene.

"Ah—ah—"

When people are in extreme pain, crying can penetrate the human heart and reach the depths of the soul.

Zhou Miaomiao jumped out of the car in a panic, looked at Han Jiankun who had run far away, and then looked at Li Xuewu who was dealing with the scene, gritted her teeth, suppressed the vomiting reaction caused by extreme tension, and followed up bravely.

At this time, no one knew what caused the explosion, and no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be a second or third explosion.

So Li Xuewu's appearance, the figure going against the current, looked particularly abrupt in the chaotic scene.

"Everyone, calm down!"

"Everyone, calm down!"

Li Xuewu pushed away the pedestrians who were running over in a panic; under his feet was a little girl holding her arm and wailing in pain.

Looking at the uncontrollable scene before him, in order to avoid secondary injuries, he took out the M1911 tucked at his waist and fired three shots into the sky.

Every time he fired a shot, he would loudly remind the panicked crowd at the scene to calm down. After three shots, except for crying and wailing, no one was running around anymore.

"I am Li Xuewu, Deputy Commander of the Third Garrison Regiment. I now require you to check your own safety status and evacuate the accident scene in an orderly manner—"

He knew that the most urgent thing right now was not to rescue the little girl at his feet, but to maintain order at the scene so that the rescue time could be shortened.

"I am Li Xuewu, Deputy Commander of the Third Garrison Regiment. I require medical workers at the scene to immediately carry out rescue operations for the injured, and other personnel to evacuate in an orderly manner towards a safe direction. No crowding, no pushing, no running—"

Li Xuewu's voice was loud enough, and with the help of the gunshots, he quickly stabilized the situation at the scene and avoided the occurrence of stampede injuries.

In fact, when his car arrived at the scene, the accident was already in the occurrence phase.

The crowd at the accident scene was still confused and hadn't reacted to what had happened.

It was after Li Xuewu got out of the car and made emergency requirements to Han Jiankun that the crowd reacted and there was a situation of crowding and fleeing.

He only delayed for less than two minutes at most, but quite a few people had already run out of the accident scene.

By the time he fired to stabilize the scene, the peak of the crowd's fear, which was also the most chaotic, had gradually weakened, and reason had been restored.

So, he stood there tall, like a flag, and after he shouted his identity, he quickly received a response.

People of this era were particularly sensitive to gunshots and extremely trusted the identity of Li Xuewu's level, so they started evacuation and first-time rescue actions under his command one after another.

"I am Dr. Wang Zongcheng from the City Hospital!" A man had blood on his forehead and was covered in dust, but his voice was firm as he signaled his lover beside him to say to Li Xuewu: "This is my lover Zhou Lizhen, she is a nurse."

"Dr. Wang, Nurse Zhou, I now require you to quickly make a preliminary injury judgment for the injured masses at the scene. I have already contacted the ambulance," Li Xuewu grabbed Zhou Miaomiao's arm and signaled the surrounding shops: "Go find out nearby and see if there is any first-aid equipment!"

"Uh—okay!"

Zhou Miaomiao was a bit panicked looking at the tragic situation at the scene; after being pushed by Li Xuewu, she reacted, quickly observed the surroundings, determined the direction, and ran towards a pharmacy not far away.

After the initial panic, the situation at the scene had been further controlled.

There were crowds standing far away, looking over here with dull and fearful eyes, unwilling to leave and not daring to come over, as if they had been fixed in place.

Li Xuewu was not a professional doctor, but he had been influenced by his father since childhood and knew some basic medical common sense, so he wouldn't move the injured easily.

So after instructing the two doctors who stood out to help and arranging Zhou Miaomiao, he began to clear the rescue channel at the scene, striving for the shortest time for the rescue teams that were about to arrive at the scene.

Driving away the onlookers, opening up a channel for ambulances to reach directly, and continuing to organize personnel who had calmed down and had a sense of responsibility at the scene to help.

Following the Wang Zongcheng and Zhou Lizhen couple, more medical personnel who heard the news participated in the rescue at the scene, and security personnel from nearby also arrived at the scene to maintain order.

Zhou Miaomiao brought back a pile of first-aid items from the pharmacy, followed by the pharmacy's staff and manager, who joined the rescue action together.

More and more people participated in the rescue at the scene, and the injured masses were quickly judged for their injuries and transferred to the side of the street for emergency treatment.

Han Jiankun made a phone call and returned, then under Li Xuewu's instructions, took his work ID to intercept passing vehicles to transport the lightly injured.

Li Xuewu knew the medical situation in the city too well, so the instruction he gave Han Jiankun was to try to send the injured to the Red Star Factory Hospital.

They had made full preparations there and had sufficient medical strength to carry out emergency rescue work.

Regardless of consumption, saturated rescue.

When Han Jiankun returned, he had already reported to him that his phone call was not only to the Fire Brigade and the factory hospital, but also to the duty room of the Committee Office.

Approaching off-work time, the leaders must not have left yet. Passing the news over would definitely lead to more reasonable and proper handling methods.

Why did the phone call take so long?

Because in addition to the Red Star Factory, Han Jiankun also called all relevant departments in the Xicheng.

Li Xuewu might not be able to consider everything so comprehensively in an emergency, but he had to be comprehensive.

Notifying all key departments meant that when summarizing and dealing with this accident, the Red Star Factory and Li Xuewu would not be left with any room for criticism.

Li Xuewu naturally agreed with Han Jiankun's arrangement and didn't say much, just asked him to pull out the Party flag that was always kept in the trunk of his car.

A bamboo pole found by the side of the street supported the backbone and hope of everyone at the scene.

In a time of crisis, Li Xuewu could be that flag; after the crisis passed, that flag should still be that flag; this is the key.

The location of Xidan Shopping Mall was too special. After the explosion, security personnel arrived to investigate immediately. When they saw that the order at the scene had been initially stabilized and medical rescue work had been carried out, they reported it according to work procedures, and at the same time comforted the emotions of the injured, while on the other hand, they calculated how much loss this explosion had caused.

Arriving with them were medical personnel from nearby. After understanding the command work situation at the scene, they followed established requirements and first concentrated their strength to carry out preliminary treatment for the injured.

Just after the person in charge of the agency sent by relevant departments arrived at the scene, an embarrassing scene occurred: ten minutes had passed, and the on-site command power was still in Li Xuewu's hands, not only because his rank was temporarily the highest, but also because he reported the work relationship of the Third Garrison Regiment.

This period was exactly when the representatives of the three branches held the right to speak, so no one really dared to seize his on-site command power. Even if Li Xuewu wanted to hand it over, no one dared to take it.

This was very helpless. Li Xuewu looked around and saw quite a few cadres beside him, but they were all very conservative and cautious, waiting for a higher-level person in charge to come over, so they could only listen to his command first.

Li Xuewu originally intended to act according to the urgency of the situation, stabilize the scene first, and once the local people came, he would report the situation at the scene and then leave.

As a result, until the ambulance came, he didn't hand over the command power.

"The ambulance is here! The ambulance is here!"

The onlookers were the first to discover the ambulance fleet driving over on the street.

That was a rescue fleet composed of 20 new-type vans, driving quickly towards here under the guidance of a Red Star Hongxing Lingyang sounding an alarm.

Accompanying them were four fire rescue vehicles, also flashing red and blue lights, with alarms blaring.

Han Jiankun cooperated with security personnel to lead the vehicles into the rescue channel that had long been prepared.

Looking at the flashing red and blue lights, looking at the white coats jumping out of the cars, and the firefighters carrying out rescue quickly, shouts of hope rang out in the crowd of onlookers, and there were excited tears in their eyes.

From the Dongcheng to the Xicheng, thanks to the few cars in this era and the alarm and Red Star Hongxing Lingyang clearing the way, it still took a full twenty minutes.

"Secretary-General, we are here."

Han Tianfu, Vice President of the Red Star Factory Hospital, jumped out of the ambulance, met with Liu Zhaolun, Captain of the Second Detachment of the Fire Brigade, and found Li Xuewu's position.

"Secretary-General, Second Detachment reporting!"

"The situation is urgent, spare the idle talk."

Li Xuewu solemnly nodded and instructed Han Tianfu: "Before the local authorities take over, you will temporarily be responsible for the medical rescue command task here."

"Zhaolun, the situation at the scene is very complex. Rescue people first, clear obstacles second. Pay attention to retaining necessary key evidence at the scene and cooperate with local security departments to conduct case investigations."

After quickly assigning tasks to the two, he didn't care about their opinions, waved his hand, and ordered quickly: "Now, action."

"Yes!"

In the twentieth minute after the explosion accident occurred, the rescue situation at the scene officially entered a normal state.

Ambulances took away the seriously injured one by one, and the lightly injured were sent to nearby hospitals for treatment under the unified coordination of the security department at the scene.

Of course, Li Xuewu also gave instructions to the personnel performing tasks at the scene, saying that the Red Star Factory Hospital had made sufficient medical and drug preparations, and to send them to the Red Star Factory Hospital as much as possible.

Passing vehicles were generally cars of unit cadres. Just in time for off-work time, when they learned of such a serious accident, they gave up their cars one after another to transport the injured.

In fact, even if they didn't want to, they had to. More and more personnel performing tasks at the scene were rushing over to support.

For any hesitation or questioning, Han Jiankun would take Li Xuewu's work ID to communicate and coordinate, informing them of the extreme situation at the scene and the on-site command situation.

The meaning was very clear: whoever didn't cooperate, please come and command the rescue work at the scene.

One ambulance could provide on-site emergency treatment for one seriously injured person and four to five lightly injured people.

Therefore, with the support of twenty ambulances for saturated medical rescue and the strong support of administrative vehicles, all the injured at the scene had been sent away by the twenty-fifth minute of the accident.

When Zheng Shusen arrived at the scene with relevant leaders from the Xicheng, the ambulance had just left, and only temporary rescue personnel were left at the scene gathering and registering, preparing to withdraw.

And after the Red Star Factory's professional fire personnel arrived, they immediately carried out emergency rescue and disposal work. These temporary rescue personnel were already affecting their work.

So Li Xuewu also immediately required the security and civil affairs departments at the scene to register the information of the personnel who participated in the rescue at the scene, in order to facilitate subsequent commendation and praise work.

This requirement and arrangement received the support and affirmation of everyone at the scene, and also brought a slight relief to the faces of those exhausted medical staff and temporary rescue personnel.

And among the onlookers, there were those who were regretful and stomping their feet. If they could have taken the initiative to lend a hand when the Deputy Commander Li was calling for help just now, they could have at least received a circular commendation.

Regret was too late. Early when the frontline personnel of the security department arrived at the scene, Li Xuewu had already required them to immediately blockade the scene and forbid anyone from approaching.

Now that non-professional personnel had withdrawn, the southwest gate here instantly became empty, which also provided convenient conditions for the subsequent case investigation work.

"Comrade Xuewu, thank you!"

Zheng Shusen held his godson's hand again, used some strength, and said in a dry voice: "We rushed over from the city's meeting, and on the way, we heard the report that you were here."

"Deputy Director Zheng, Director Chen, Deputy Director Jiang," Li Xuewu shook hands with the several people who got off the car one by one and greeted them: "We were also on the way back to the factory from research and just happened to catch up."

Xicheng District Director Chen Zhi Society, Deputy Director Jiang Shufen, Zheng Shusen didn't need to be introduced. These two actually didn't need to be introduced either; mixing in Beijing, he had to know these two parents of Xicheng.

Jiang Shufen finally held Li Xuewu's hand and said with gratitude: "Thanks to you standing up, we had a bottom line in our hearts when we heard the preliminary report from the scene."

"Thank you for the trust of several leaders."

Li Xuewu said politely and modestly, and then began to introduce the situation at the scene.

From the moment he discovered the explosion, every step, including the preliminary judgment of the situation at the scene, arranging the report of the police situation and rescue, stabilizing the situation at the scene, evacuating irrelevant crowds, and summoning the temporary rescue team, etc., was orderly and well-organized, making the leaders who had just arrived nod frequently.

"All injured personnel have been preliminarily registered, and the parts of the lightly injured and seriously injured who could not complete the registration work have already been sent to the Red Star Factory Hospital."

Li Xuewu introduced with a serious face: "According to preliminary statistics, there were *** people affected by this explosion accident, of which 5 were judged to be dead by on-site emergency personnel, *** injured, and 9 seriously injured." (The numbers here are sensitive and hidden)

Almost everyone, after hearing the statistical data introduced by Li Xuewu, had their expressions become serious.

"I know, thank you."

Zheng Shusen said again in an increasingly sorrowful voice: "How is the on-site investigation situation?"

Li Xuewu first glanced at the person in charge of the Xicheng Branch who had just arrived at the scene. Seeing that he had not fully understood the situation at the scene, he made a basic report first.

"The criminal investigation experts haven't arrived yet. I am just making a judgment from the situation of the on-site investigation and the basic situation of the emergency rescue and disposal work."

He introduced cautiously: "The detonating device used by the murderer should be a detonating device, not a time bomb."

I don't know why, but Li Xuewu clearly felt that when he said this judgment, the leaders who arrived at the scene frowned in unison, but they looked relieved.

"According to my work experience, the detonating device of the explosive is very crude; it looks like a delay fuse."

He introduced earnestly: "Except for mining and geological blasting work, few people use such unsafe detonating means now; the danger is particularly high."

"In other words," Jiang Shufen asked actively without waiting for Li Xuewu to continue the introduction: "Can the possibility of a special enemy attack be initially ruled out?"

"Your meaning is..."

Li Xuewu paused slightly after hearing her words, and then reacted immediately.

It turned out that the expression changes of these leaders just now were not his illusion, but they were waiting for his introduction to initially judge whether it was a special enemy attack.

"I can only make judgments and introductions based on what I see at the scene."

Li Xuewu emphasized first, and then continued: "If I were a special enemy, I would definitely use a more precise detonating device, such as an alarm clock, chemical fuse, etc."

"The fuse device found at the scene can only delay for about 10 minutes at most."

"Hmm, you have work experience in this area, the judgment is likely to be correct," Zheng Shusen pointed at him and said: "Continue your introduction."

"Hmm, let me talk about the second point found in the on-site investigation," Li Xuewu nodded and continued to introduce: "Judging by the explosion effect of the bomb and the explosive residues found at the scene, it should be civil explosives, not explosives used by the army or special enemy agencies."

"If judged according to my experience, the explosive should be about five kilograms."

Hearing that Li Xuewu even judged the basic weight of the bomb, these leaders, even if they still had doubts in their hearts, began to think seriously while listening to his introduction.

"The reason why I judged that the murderer used civil explosives instead of military explosives is because we found that this is a mixed explosive based on the explosive residues."

Li Xuewu emphasized: "This kind of mixed explosive is very dangerous; regular units would absolutely not use it indiscriminately like this."

"In addition, there were only five deaths and over a hundred injuries at the scene."

He paused when he said this, and then continued to explain: "If it were a professional, they would definitely place steel nails, iron sheets, and other substances with strong lethality in the explosive."

"If the murderer really installed these things, the death toll at the scene would definitely be in the dozens to hundreds."

Just as Li Xuewu was reporting, the expert group from the security department arrived at the scene and entered the crime scene to conduct an investigation after greeting the people here.

Li Xuewu saw that it was getting dark, so he accelerated the rhythm of the introduction.

"According to the on-site investigation, evidence collection, and identification, among the five deceased, four are local residents, all identified by familiar neighbors or colleagues, but there is one person whose identity and household registration are unknown."

"The body can still be pieced together mostly intact, you can take a look."

Li Xuewu led the leaders to the scene to make a guide introduction. With the help of tools, he opened the skull of the deceased, and could still vaguely see the original appearance.

In fact, when he was making the introduction, the person in charge of the team who had just arrived didn't immediately go to the scene to investigate, but listened to Li Xuewu's report.

Only after Li Xuewu finished the introduction did he take the initiative to ask about several key situations he hadn't heard before, and nodded while looking at the scene.

"I am Yang Guanghua from the City Bureau."

This person in charge sized up Li Xuewu and asked: "You are Comrade Li Xuewu who cracked the 12·21 major case the year before last, right? I've heard of you for a long time."

He took the initiative to reach out his hand and said politely: "Seeing you today, it really lives up to its reputation."

"You are too polite. I am not good at on-site investigation, and I don't have much work experience."

Li Xuewu was even more polite than him; after all, this person's hair was all white, and he absolutely didn't dare to act as an expert in front of him.

"These were all discovered and judged temporarily. If there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct me."

"Don't be so modest, what you said is very easy to verify," Yang Guanghua said earnestly: "If there is no mistake, then the possibility of a special enemy attack can be ruled out first."

After saying this, he squatted down beside the fifth deceased and looked at it with the forensic doctor.

In fact, when Li Xuewu brought the leaders over, the forensic doctor had already looked at it for a while, and the basic situation was naturally clear in their eyes.

Not speaking out to deny Li Xuewu's introduction was actually a kind of acquiescence and affirmation.

There was no need to investigate and blame the on-site rescue personnel for moving this body, because if you want to investigate carefully, there is no one who doesn't move it.

No, it shouldn't be said to be moved, it should be said to be pieced together.

The fifth body, which was barely pieced together with the residual limbs found at the scene that didn't match the numbers of the injured personnel.

Seen at the scene, this body was too badly damaged, broken into several sections, one arm was even blown outside the mall, and the head was also blown off.

"Comrade Li Xuewu, you must have a judgment, right?" Yang Guanghua didn't know Li Xuewu's current position, so he could only call him by his name and add "Comrade," "Can you tell me?"

"This..." Li Xuewu frowned, carefully sized up the scattered body, and then looked at Yang Guanghua, but still said his judgment: "I suspect it is suicide."

Everyone: Σ(っ°Д°；)っ

"Hmm, that's right, I think so too."

Yang Guanghua didn't even notice everyone's surprised expression, squatted beside the body and said: "According to the basic judgment principle of explosion cases, the person closest to the explosion point is generally the most suspicious."

"Director Yang, your meaning is—" Jiang Shufen frowned and asked.

"Hmm, he is very likely to have chosen a crowded place to perish together in order to retaliate against society."

Yang Guanghua's affirmative tone made the eyebrows of the several leaders at the scene jump instantly; they feared special enemies, but also feared civil disputes.

"In fact, it's not hard to see this point."

Seeing Li Xuewu standing beside him with his waist bent, Yang Guanghua took the initiative to pinch the tweezers on the ground and began to point out to Li Xuewu.

"First, look here," he pointed to the legs of the body, and then pointed to the crowd not far away and introduced: "Now it's early April, the weather is already very warm, everyone is wearing thin clothes, but he is still wearing cotton clothes and cotton pants."

"Secondly, it's here," Yang Guanghua pointed to the crudely made cloth shoes of the deceased with tweezers and introduced: "City people shopping here basically wouldn't wear shoes like this; only farmers would wear them."

"Finally, it's here," he pointed to a black handbag near the deceased and introduced: "You just found explosive residues in the on-site investigation. In fact, there are also some in here; you can tell by smelling it."

Putting down the tweezers in his hand, Yang Guanghua stood up and summarized: "According to your introduction and the few points I just mentioned, it can basically be judged that this person was closest to the explosive."

"He should have brought the explosive to the mall in a handbag, found the right opportunity to commit the crime."

He looked at Li Xuewu and the several leaders including Zheng Shusen and said: "To judge who the murderer is and why he brought explosives to the mall to manufacture an explosion case, we still have to wait for the forensic doctor's conclusion."

"Almost there, Director Yang."

The forensic team also had several people. After this side finished speaking, that side basically finished testing.

The person in charge of the forensic doctor made a basic report: "The deceased is male, a northerner, 1.7 meters tall, with calluses on his hands and feet, rough skin, initially judged to be a manual laborer."

"Looking at the style and fabric of the clothing, it is initially judged that the deceased should not be from Beijing," he pointed to the key positions of the deceased's clothing and explained: "Those who dress like this are generally farmers from Shanhai Pass, Zhangjiakou, or the Liaodong region."

"And the detonating device we extracted from the scene was also initially judged to be a product of these two provinces."

There was no surveillance in this era, no facial networking identification, and no big data of fingerprints.

Relying only on the evidence currently mastered, it was far from enough to judge the specific identity of the deceased.

"We found some paper scraps in the deceased's pocket," the person in charge of the forensic doctor introduced: "The text on it might play a role in the case investigation."

He showed the physical evidence in the iron box to Yang Guanghua and others and made a detailed explanation.

"Wait a moment—"

Just as the person in charge of the forensic doctor was about to hand the physical evidence to the investigator, Li Xuewu suddenly raised his hand to stop the other party.

In fact, at this step of the situation at the scene, he could have completely withdrawn, handed over the command power and disposal power to Zheng Shusen, and then gone home to do whatever he needed to do, waiting for news.

But he was also curious about the case and the forensic work, so he listened for a while longer.

It was because he stayed for this while longer and looked at the physical evidence in the iron box a few more times that the case had a new breakthrough.

"Help me see if those paper scraps look like the grain coupon in my hand."

Li Xuewu took out the grain coupon he prepared when he went to Liaodong for investigation from his pocket and handed the one he thought looked a bit like it to the person in charge of the forensic doctor.

"This is... Liaodong's grain coupon!"

The person in charge of the forensic doctor looked at the complete grain coupon in his hand and the paper scraps in the iron box in surprise.

He hadn't thought of it when he didn't see this grain coupon, but now the more he looked, the more it looked like it, and even the characteristics of some characters could be compared. If he compared it, he could definitely piece it together into exactly the same ticket.

As everyone knows, material was relatively scarce in this era, and people's food and clothing could only be received with grain coupons.

That is to say, the grain coupon found on the deceased could initially prove that he was from Liaodong.

"I just came back from a business trip to Yingcheng and Steel City," Li Xuewu explained: "I forgot to exchange these grain coupons. I only remembered when I saw those paper scraps."

"I really don't know how to express my gratitude—" Yang Guanghua grabbed Li Xuewu's hand and shook it gratefully: "You have made a great contribution to our work!"

He signaled the grain coupon in the hand of the person in charge of the forensic doctor and said: "If it weren't for your discovery, we would have had to spend at least quite a bit of time and take quite a few detours to confirm this physical evidence."

"We should be the ones grateful for the help of the two criminal investigation experts!"

Jiang Shufen, Deputy Director of Xicheng, walked back from the side of the on-site command vehicle and said with emotion: "Just now, only one hour after the explosion case occurred, 《Voice of the Ugly Country》 and the Moscow Radio and Television Station scrambled to report this news and criticized us on the issue of security."

The international environment China was facing at this time was extremely severe, almost simultaneously besieged by both the Ugly and Mao sides.

The mainland at this time was not comparable to later generations; the Ugly and Mao were world giants at this time.

They were very worried that we would develop, not only blocking our technology and science, but also hindering our economic development, not letting go of any opportunity to smear us.

Just when both sides were eyeing us covetously and looking for opportunities to slander us, this happened, causing a huge uproar internationally, and the higher-ups also attached great importance to it, so they gave an order to solve the case as soon as possible.

And after receiving the order, Yang Guanghua, a senior criminal investigation expert, led the team to the scene.

What caught everyone off guard was that the case had just begun to be investigated, and relevant clues and discoveries were found one after another, quickly narrowing the target by countless times.

Now they only needed to investigate the basic situation of the other four deceased, and then go all out to track down the missing persons in the rural areas of Liaodong recently.

With the photos and basic information of the deceased, wanting to track down a person, even in this era of undeveloped information, was not a difficult problem like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Deputy Director Jiang, don't be polite."

Li Xuewu saw that Zhou Miaomiao and Han Jiankun had handed over the work to the local on-site disposal personnel, so he politely made the final instructions.

He specifically emphasized that the security and civil affairs departments had already registered the information of the temporarily organized emergency handling personnel, hoping that Xicheng or the city could give these people praise or commendation.

"Rest assured, I have recorded it."

Chen Zhi Society, Director of Xicheng District, said when shaking hands with Li Xuewu: "Thank you again for your help. The medical expenses of the injured masses at the Red Star Factory Hospital will all be borne by Xicheng District."

"I will report it to the factory."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "If you and other leaders have the need to visit the injured masses, you can come to the factory at any time. I will make relevant work arrangements after I go back."

"Thank you, thank you Secretary-General Li."

Now Li Xuewu's Garrison District identity was not needed; they were talking about the Red Star Factory's affairs, so he naturally had to change his title.

Li Xuewu didn't mind, and finally shook hands with his godfather Zheng Shusen.

Zheng Shusen just patted his arm, nodded with relief, and said warmly: "Go back."

"Then you also take care of your health."

Li Xuewu cared softly, and then took Zhou Miaomiao and Han Jiankun back to the car.

Under the eyes of Zheng Shusen and a group of leaders from the Dongcheng, the Volga M24 moved slowly and then drove out of the area where the accident occurred.

Until the surrounding street scene returned to its usual peaceful and harmonious appearance, Zhou Miaomiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thank heaven and earth, Amitabha."

"Hehe—said the wrong thing, right?"

Li Xuewu teased her with a light laugh: "Shouldn't you complain about me for a few sentences? Almost killed you."

If she thought so... then she really couldn't think so!

It was Li Xuewu who proposed to send Zhou Miaomiao home. According to her original plan, even without field work, she would have been off work at the time and ridden her bicycle over.

By that time, the matter here would have already happened, and it wouldn't have been her turn to participate in the rescue work.

It was really great luck. If Han Jiankun had driven the car a little faster and put her on the side of the road, she might have been injured.

But it was just that fifty meters, a matter of stepping on the accelerator, and she missed it by coincidence.

"Sending me is your good intention, how can I blame you," Zhou Miaomiao looked at Han Jiankun with a smile and said: "I should thank Brother Jiankun for driving steadily and saving my life, hahaha—"

Her mentality was really stable. After the thrill just now passed, all that was left was the emotion of great luck and the glorious heart of participating in the rescue work.

Even ordinary people who participated in the rescue at the scene had their personal information registered. One made phone calls and arranged vehicle rescue, and the other searched for medicine and first-aid supplies, actively participating in the on-site handling. Could their credit be small?

Even if they were doing things with Li Xuewu, the Xicheng District wouldn't ignore them.

Not to mention anything else, for a case of this scale, at least the city would issue a letter of thanks.

With this letter of thanks, could the excellent individual and advanced individual of this year be missed?

With honor, then there would definitely be their names on the progress list at the end of this year. Neither of them lacked the necessary background relationship; who would offend them?

Therefore, Zhou Miaomiao was very happy now, and didn't even plan to go home; she wanted to follow Li Xuewu back to the factory and continue to participate in the subsequent docking work for the injured.

Seeing her wanting to perform actively, Li Xuewu followed her wishes.

For one thing, she participated in the rescue at the scene and was relatively familiar with the situation.

For another, she was a staff member of the factory's external office and had the responsibility and obligation to handle these businesses.

Finally, it was Li Xuewu's intention; Old Li needed a soulmate like Zhou Miaomiao to exist.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is here.

When the Volga M24 returned to the factory office area, Li Xuewu habitually raised his head to look after getting out of the car, and saw that the light in Old Li's office was still on.

It was other deputy directors' offices that were dark, and they should have gone home after work, or someone had gone to the factory hospital.

No need to guess, Gu Weijie was in charge of the Medical and Education Management Bureau, and the one responsible for the scene at the hospital now must be her.

"No need to change the car, you send Comrade Zhou Miaomiao to the factory hospital."

Li Xuewu instructed Han Jiankun who followed him out of the car, and also instructed Zhou Miaomiao who was also preparing to follow: "You go to the factory hospital first, Deputy Director Gu must still be there. You first report the work to Deputy Director Gu and listen to her further instructions."

"Understood, leader—"

Zhou Miaomiao was full of energy and high spirits, not looking like she had been busy for more than an hour at all, except that her throat was a bit hoarse.

Li Xuewu knocked on the passenger window and exhorted Han Jiankun who was already in the car preparing: "Accompany Comrade Zhou Miaomiao to see Deputy Director Gu, see who hasn't had dinner yet, count the number of people, contact the reception house to make noodles and meat sauce and bring it over for everyone to eat, don't let them go hungry."

"Thank you, Secretary-General—"

Zhou Miaomiao knew that Li Xuewu saw she hadn't eaten yet, so he made the arrangement.

She thanked him with a smile, and then jumped into the car again.

Not to mention anything else, she really liked this imported car; it was more comfortable to sit in than Old Li's big Red Flag, mainly because it was stable.

There is a saying in the Jianghu: Life is long, don't be too wild.

So it's better to be stable.

Li Xuewu didn't wait for the car to leave before going upstairs and went straight to Li Huade's office, knowing that Old Li was waiting for him to report the specific situation.

Requiring the Red Star Factory's fire and factory hospital to go to support, Li Huade knew that as long as Li Xuewu caught up, there must be some purpose.

Big Li, Little Li, can't afford to suffer losses.

Both of them have a principle in doing things and management, which is absolutely not to suffer losses.

After Li Xuewu entered the office, he didn't exchange many pleasantries, and first reported the research work of the afternoon.

Mainly about the Red Star Factory preparing to acquire Chinese medicine brands, together with Hong Kong's Watsons for cosmeceutical trade.

Then he reported that Zhao Weidong instigated Nie Xiaoguang, and the Security Section of the Factory Security Office would file a case to investigate Zhao Weidong.

Finally, it was the significance of his output of labor and effort.

PS: Leave a tail, ask everyone what is the significance of Li Xuewu doing this besides being in his duty and being duty-bound?
