At the same time, a van pulled into a vacant lot on the southern outskirts of the city.
Seeing no one around, several men in black jumped out of the van, took off their jackets and masks, threw them onto the vehicle, then drained the petrol from the tank, splashed it on the van and threw a cigarette butt into it.
Poof!
There was a crunching sound and tongues of fire came out of the car, which then burst into flames, the fire was fierce and the blaze soon engulfed the whole car.
Several guys pulled out and ran, gunning for their shelter from different directions.
Boom!
There was a loud bang and the van exploded in pieces.
The loud explosion shattered the quietness of the surrounding area and villagers from the suburbs ran out of their homes and headed to the site of the burning and exploding car to watch.
The van was soon turned into a pile of charred scrap metal.
……
After putting down Su Xiaoling’s phone call, Tang Huimin said to Song Mingyuan, who was sitting in the back row.
“Song Dong, something has happened to that car of yours ……”
“What happened to …… it?” Although Song Mingyuan had heard the contents of Tang Huimin and Su Xiaoling’s call really well, he still wanted to confirm it.
“The driver was driving home when he was hit by a bomb on the Yellow River Avenue, the driver died on the spot ……” Tang Huimin answered truthfully.
“Ah? How could this happen?” Song Mingyuan’s heart sank and he said in a shocked voice, “They were trying to blow me up and the driver became my scapegoat, who the hell did this?”
“When you went to the detention centre, who knew about it?” Tang Hui Min inquired.
“Apart from the driver and me, no one knew!” Song Mingyuan answered truthfully.
“So, someone at the police station tipped off those thugs, or, you were targeted by them a long time ago?” Tang Hui Min reminded.
“I …… I don’t know!” Song Mingyuan said hysterically, his mind was in a mess, he was unable to say anything clearly now.
The previous driver had been killed by Scarface and Robert and the others for picking up his daughter Song Lina at the entrance of Yanjing University, and this one had been killed by a gang of thugs with a bomb for sending him to visit Lin Kai at the city’s Public Security Bureau, becoming the ghost of a wrongful death in his place, which made him grief-stricken.
“Then let’s go to the scene first.” Tang Huimin said, quickly driving the Audi police car in the direction of Huanghe Avenue, and soon arrived at the scene of the car explosion on Huanghe Avenue.
Song Mingyuan saw that there were many police cars and fire engines parked here, a large group of police, traffic police and firefighters were dealing with the accident at the scene, and there were many people watching around, so he hurriedly jumped out of the car and rushed into the crowd.
Fearing that something might happen to him, Tang Hui Min hurriedly chased after him, following closely behind him, keeping him under close protection and shouting to the crowd.
“Everyone, please give way, I am Tang Huimin, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, I am here to handle the case ……”
The crowd of onlookers saw a woman in uniform and a middle-aged man running over and automatically gave way, and in this way, Tang Huimin and Song Mingyuan easily arrived at the scene of the murder, where a cordon had been drawn.
As soon as Song Mingyuan saw the gruesome site of the car explosion, he felt his head spin, his spine chill, dazed and in tears.
“Chief Tang, I’ve expected you here!” Su Xiaoling said curtly as she ran out of several police officers.
“What’s the condition of the driver who was driving?” Tang Huimin asked in a serious manner.
“He’s dead,” Su Xiaoling said, pointing to the pile of charred bones the police had searched from inside and outside the car, “That’s all we found.”
Tang Huimin came to the pile of charred corpses that were giving off a pungent smell of rotting flesh and asked Su Xiaoling to shine a torch on them, asking.
“Have you notified the coroner?”
“Yes, the coroner is heading this way!” Su Xiaoling replied.
Song Mingyuan lunged towards the driver’s charred corpse and said with tears in his eyes, “Little Li, I did this to you, I’m sorry, don’t worry, I’ll settle and take care of your family and avenge you!”
Fearing that Song Mingyuan might be attacked again, Tang Huimin said to Su Xiaoling, “This is Song Mingyuan, the chairman of the Mingyuan Group of Companies, the criminals were after him and threw a bomb into the car, for his safety, send a few police officers to escort him home now and keep him under protection.”
“Okay,” Su Xiaoling was ordered and walked up to Song Mingyuan and said, “Song Dong, people can’t come back to life after death, you’d better be grateful for your sorrow, please rest a*sured that we will solve this case as soon as possible and give you and the deceased and his family an explanation.”
Tang Huimin also stepped forward to console, “Song Dong, it’s not safe here, you should let Captain Su send a police escort to take you home, I’m afraid they will poison Lin Kai, I have to rush to the detention center for a trip ……”
“No need,” Song Mingyuan shook his head and said, “On my way here, I already sent a WeChat to notify the company’s bodyguard with people to come and pick me up, you go busy and leave me alone.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a long convoy of cars sped up from outside and pulled up to the side of the road.
A dozen strong men dressed in black, with electric batons in their hands, jumped out of the cars and quickly rushed towards the site of the car explosion.
It looked like these men had come to fight with the police!
Those who were watching the scene were afraid of getting into trouble, so they stepped aside, but not willing to enjoy the drama that was about to unfold, and ducked far away to watch the action.
“What are you doing?” A policeman, seeing that they were about to rush into the cordon, then pulled out his pistol and shouted, “Don’t come in, or I’ll shoot.”
The policemen who were in charge of the cordon were like enemies, and they all pulled out their pistols, pointing a blackened gun at the group of aggressive men, ready to fight and pull the trigger as soon as they made the slightest move.
“Don’t shoot, this is a misunderstanding, we are from the security team of the Mingyuan Group of Companies, we are here, to protect the chairman, Song Mingyuan, and take care of his safety.” Li Gang, the new security team leader, explained to the police officers who were pointing their guns at them, seeing Song Mingyuan standing next to the charred corpse, he shouted, “Chairman, I’m sorry, we’re late, are you alright?”
Song Mingyuan didn’t respond and silently walked towards them, whispered a few words to Li Gang and then left in a Mercedes Benz car surrounded by everyone.
Tang Huimin was concerned about Lin Kai’s safety, so she bid farewell to Su Xiaoling and left.
At this time, several forensic doctors rushed over and, after identifying the corpse, immediately concluded that this was the first car bomb attack that had occurred in Yanjing and must be reported to the relevant authorities in time.
Meanwhile, among the onlookers, a netizen posted a video of the car explosion scene online, which was reproduced on major websites.
The car bombing quickly spread across the internet and generated a lot of buzz among netizens.
Looking at the shocking images of the car explosion scene, everyone condemned the group of miscreants and hoped that the authorities would solve the case as soon as possible and give an account of the deceased.
