Chapter 323 (1/2)
The explosion in the tent area caused panic in the camp. Many people clamoured to return to the shelter, and even appeared to collide with the soldiers on duty.
Fortunately, Wang Zhaowu was decisive in his work. He took the soldiers from the camp to the elevator entrance for support. He forced down the momentum of snatching the elevator with machine guns and controlled the situation with tough means.
As the acting director, Xu Lu was not idle. Relying on her affinity and good image in the hearts of the residents of the refuge, she gradually stabilized the mood of the residents.
At the same time, the investigation of the cause of the explosion is also in full swing.
Soon, a survey result was put on Jiang Chen's desk.
21 people were injured, 5 were killed and 17 tents were damaged.
The explosion center was very close to academician Qin's tent, only two or three meters in appearance. Further afield, the soldiers found pieces of a drone. According to these clues, it can be inferred that someone manipulated the drone carrying the bomb to fly to academician Qin's tent, and then detonated the bomb remotely.
This is obviously a murder, and the killer is still from outside the camp!
But why?
Jiang Chen tightly closed his eyes and leaned on the office chair, thinking.
He really couldn't think of anything to hate about an old man who was dying, and he was just out of the shelter.
Suddenly, he moved in his heart and took out the black metal ball given to him by academician Qin from the storage space.
”Is that why?”
Go straight to the bomb, obviously not to steal it. Anybody want to destroy this communication coordinate with the Zheng He? Of course, this is only one possibility. Another possibility is to consider the status of academician Qin. Maybe someone wanted to get rid of the experimenter at the 027 shelter.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
At this time, there was a gentle knock at the door of the office.
”Golden Apple” was thrown into the storage space, and Jiang Chen said casually, ”please come in.”
Open the door. Xu Lu came in.
”The mood of the residents has also stabilized, and new tents and daily necessities have been distributed to the residents who have suffered losses. As for those who are more seriously injured, they will be transported to shelters for treatment.”
”Good. You handled it well.” Jiang Chen nodded to confirm her work.
Xu Lu grinned modestly and stood waiting for Jiang Chen's further orders.
”Where is Wang Zhaowu now?”
”I'm on patrol. Do you want me to get him? ”
Jiang Chen shook his head, ”No. Don't be too nervous if you speak to him for me. I won't blame him for this. After all, nobody would have thought of such a thing as using drones to infiltrate the camp and detonate the bomb. But I hope the same thing doesn't happen again. ”
”OK.” Xu Lu nodded, turned away from the office, and gently took the door.
He leaned back on the chair again. Jiang Chen looks up to the ceiling and closes his eyes, sorting out the confused clues in his brain.
To be honest, if only a few unimportant shelter residents were killed, it would be more than enough to require him to worry about it. What really makes Jiang Chen feel uneasy is the feeling of being kept in the dark.
Some people killed people in his territory, and they used such defenseless means, but now he has no clue about the murderer's motive.
Two possibilities. One is to destroy the golden apple, the other is to kill academician Qin...
and so on!
Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and he realized that he seemed to have entered some kind of misunderstanding.
No matter who the murderer is, he must clearly know that the refuge has been opened, and academician Qin moved from the refuge to the surface. It is not difficult to know this. Camp 27 has just been built, and it is not as tight as the fish bone base. Just a drone is suspended in mid air to get a glimpse of what's going on inside the camp.
