Chapter 206
On the way, Zhang Xing drove the car attentively while making another anxious phone call to Chi Hu.
Since they parted at the thrilling Sichuan restaurant explosion last night, the two of them have been like a lone boat that lost contact in the vast ocean, and have never had any contact again.
Zhang Xing knew Chi Hu's character very well. He has always been a person with a strong desire to share. As long as Tang Wan had even a little bit of good progress, according to Chi Hu's impatient and inability to hide things, he would probably have called him anxiously and poured out the good news all at once.
However, there was no call from Chi Hu all night, which most likely meant that Tang Wan's condition was still not optimistic, and she might even be in a coma.
This ominous guess kept lingering in Zhang Xing's mind, like a heavy boulder, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe.
The moment the call was connected, Chihu's extremely tired and weak voice came from the other end of the phone, as if it was from a person who had been drained of all his energy: "Hello! Air, sorry, I just accidentally closed my eyes for a while."
Zhang Xing hurriedly responded, his voice full of anxiety and concern: "You are still in the hospital in the central district, Tang Wan... How is her current condition?"
Chihu sighed softly, and the sigh was full of endless helplessness and deep worry: "She hasn't woken up yet, but fortunately, after a detailed examination by the doctor, the impact of the explosion on her brain was not too great. The doctor predicted based on the current situation that she should be able to wake up in about three days at most."
"But..."
These three words that were hesitant to say were like a sharp dagger, instantly piercing Zhang Xing's already tense nerves. The sense of relief brought by the previous sentence instantly disappeared in the face of the suspense of the latter sentence, and Zhang Xing's heart was once again raised to his throat.
Before Zhang Xing could ask anxiously, Chi Hu sighed heavily again, and continued with deep sorrow in his voice: "Xiao Wan's face was cut by the flying glass during the explosion. She has always been so careful about her face. It is really hard to imagine that when she wakes up and finds such a scar on her face, she will fall into the abyss of depression." "Also, her chest was hit hard by the powerful aftermath of the explosion, causing a certain degree of arterial thrombosis. Even if she is lucky enough to recover this time, I am afraid she will never be able to do the police work she loves again."
When Zhang Xing heard this, his heart seemed to be stabbed by countless sharp blades, and endless self-blame surged in his heart. He said in a low and guilty voice: "I'm sorry!"
Chi Hu hurriedly said: "Oh, how can you be blamed for this! All this is the fault of that damn Zhao Chuan. When I think of him, the anger in my stomach rises. Xiao Wan is so good to him. In the past few years since he was released from prison, if Xiao Wan hadn't been silently helping and supporting him behind the scenes, how could their family live a normal and stable life."
"But he is so good. His life has finally got on the right track, but at this critical juncture, he participated in a gang robbery case and implicated Xiao Wan so miserably."
At this point, Chi Hu's voice trembled with anger, full of hatred for Zhao Chuan and helplessness for his girlfriend's experience.
Afterwards, Chihu calmed down and asked Zhang Xing: "By the way, did you find anything else at the explosion site?"
Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "We found a recorder that recorded a string of extremely weird laughter. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Obviously, this should have been carefully set up by the other party in advance, with the purpose of warning and mocking us. When we first investigated the three coordinates, we unknowingly walked into the trap set by the other party step by step. Therefore, the main responsibility for this matter lies with me. If I had been more meticulous and done a better job of defense, I would have been in trouble. If there were more, maybe everyone wouldn't..."
Chihu interrupted without hesitation: "The plan to investigate the three coordinates was a decision we all agreed on, and we also asked the team leader for instructions. How can you be blamed alone? Besides, who could have expected that this damned Heishan would be so cunning and treacherous. To be honest, I have never encountered such a difficult and complicated case since I joined the National Security Bureau for so long. "
"What's the situation with Yeying and Mingdi now?"
Chihu has been guarding the hospital in the central district and taking good care of his girlfriend Tang Wan. He has neither contacted the bureau nor contacted Mingdi and Yeying.Ye Ying had no communication with him. But he had just heard what Zhang Xing said, and he clearly realized that the abandoned factory in the west district and the library in the east district must have been ambushed by the other party, so the situation of Ye Ying and Ming Di must not be much better.
Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, and after a struggle in his heart, he finally decided to tell Chi Hu everything about Jing Zhi being hit and Ming Di missing.
After Chi Hu finished listening, he fell into a dead silence. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and only heavy breathing was left on both ends of the phone.
After a long time, he said in an extremely solemn tone: "Now that things have come to this, don't blame yourself all the time. Now it seems that the opponent we are facing is extremely stubborn and cunning. And I don't know why, I always have a strong feeling that it's as if the other party has secretly installed surveillance cameras on us, and every step we take seems to be carried out under the close surveillance of the other party."
"Before, we judged that this Lord Heishan was a big tiger who held power above. Now I feel that this big tiger is likely to be lurking around us, always watching our every move."
Chihu's words actually coincided with Zhang Xing's inner thoughts at the moment.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Xing decided to go back to the bureau to find Geng Jianhui to ask about the situation.
Of course, Zhang Xing did not tell Chihu about the suspicious points he found in the team leader Geng Jianhui.
First, Chi Hu's heart and eyes were full of his girlfriend Tang Wan, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed. He needed to accompany and take care of her wholeheartedly. Zhang Xing really couldn't bear to let him be involved in this complicated and dangerous matter.
Moreover, the suspicion of the team leader was only based on some clues, and there was no solid evidence. If he spoke out rashly, it would only cause Chi Hu more trouble and worry, without any substantial help.
