Chapter 504 Purpose(1/2)

 Luke immediately lay on the ground, a wave of heat passed by him, and his ears were buzzing from the explosion.

Xiao Hei patted Luke on the shoulder, "Captain, are you not injured?"

Luke pointed to his ear and checked Xiao Hei's condition. He showed no signs of injury and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke briefly communicated with Xiao Hei using hand gestures, and then looked at Inoue Nami next to him. She was so scared that she lay on the ground and did not dare to move, and there was no sign of injury.

As for Lucy, she twisted her fat body and got under the table.

The large office area was in chaos, and many people were screaming and running away.

There wasn't much Luke could do now. The sound of the explosion made everyone's ears ring. Coupled with the chaos around him, screams and calls came one after another. No matter how loud his voice was, others might not be able to hear him.

In this critical situation, even if you hear it, you may not listen to him.

So Luke stayed where he was. First, he didn't confirm whether there was still a bomb. Moving around would be more dangerous. Second, he wanted to prevent anyone from damaging the explosion site.

After a while, the surrounding gradually became quiet and there were no more explosions. Luke stood up and worked with Xiao Hei to evacuate the crowd and maintain order.

Luke walked to the window of the supervisor's office and looked inside. The office was in a mess. A man fell beside the desk, covered in blood and with extensive injuries on his body. The scene was a bit scary.

Luke opened the office door and scanned the items in the office, but found no suspicious dangerous items.

Luke walked to the injured man and checked his condition. He had lost his vital signs.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the explosion marks around the desk were the most obvious, and the wounds of the deceased were mainly concentrated on the front side of the body.

Luke guessed that the explosives should have been placed on the desk when the explosion occurred.

Due to the explosion, the office was severely damaged and in a mess, making it difficult to find even if there were clues.

Luke took a few photos of the scene and temporarily exited the supervisor's office.

Xiao Hei is still maintaining order.

Luke took out his cell phone, dialed Red's number, and told him the situation at the scene.

Then, Luke called Matthew and asked him to investigate whether there were retired soldiers among the employees of the bankrupt slaughterhouse?

Nami Inoue came over and asked, "Captain Li, how about Director Javier Hagen?"

Luke shook his head, "He was too close to the bomb and has lost his vital signs.

Find someone bold and familiar with Javier Hagen, I need his help in identifying the deceased."

Inoue Nami said, "Sorry, I don't have much contact with Director Javier Hagen. Her eyes are looking at Lucy, a fat black woman."

Lucy said with a vibrato, "I can find his photo if you need it."

Luke shook his head, "Javier Hagen's facial injuries are serious and cannot be confirmed by photo comparison alone. It requires someone who is familiar with him."

Of course, the most accurate method is to identify DNA, but as the person in charge of the front-line investigation, Luke cannot wait for the identification report. Before the identification report comes out, he needs to make his own judgment to determine the direction of the investigation of the case.

.

Lucy took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm willing to help you identify it."

"You are very brave." Luke gave her psychological precautions in advance. "The scenes in the office may be a little bloody. I hope you are mentally prepared."

Lucy looked in the direction of the office, somewhat repelled, "Actually, there is no need to identify it at all. I just delivered a package to Director Javier Hagen, and I am sure he is inside, and he is the only one."

Luke raised his eyebrows and said, "You said you just delivered a package to him."

"Yes."

"What package?"

"It was his express delivery. It was wrapped in a black bag. I helped him put it on the table, and then he asked me to leave."

"How long did it take for the explosion to occur after you sent the package in?"

"About ten minutes." Lucy showed a vigilant look, "Oh my God, you don't doubt that I planted the bomb, do you?

I swear, I absolutely did not."

Luke reassured, "Lucy, don't get excited. I'm just asking a routine question. I didn't say that the package must be a bomb. You just need to tell me the source of the package, okay?"

Lucy sat down on the chair and covered her forehead with her right hand, "I went to the mailroom today to get the documents. The person in the mailroom said there were two couriers from the Ministry of Information, so I helped bring them back.

One of the recipients of the express was Director Javier Hagen, and I delivered it to his office. It was as simple as that.

Even if I don't send it, someone else will.

Even if that package is really a bomb, it has nothing to do with me."

Luke kept staring at Lucy's expression and saw no obvious signs of lying, but he heard another important point, "What you brought back at that time were two couriers."

"Yes, but the recipient of the other delivery is not Director Javier Hagen."

"Is the sender the same person?"

"I didn't pay attention."

"If you recall carefully, are there any similarities between the two packages?"

"Yes, they are all black plastic packaging."

Luke realized a new problem. The two couriers were probably two bombs. He asked,

"Where is the other courier?"

"The delivery address of the express delivery was the Ministry of Information, but I didn't know the recipient. I thought it was some new intern reporter, so I just put it at the front desk."

Luke looked in the direction of the front desk and asked, "Who is the recipient?"

"I can't remember clearly, it seems his name is...Mike."

Luke looked at Inoue aside, "Do you know a man named Mike?"

Inoue Nami thought for a while, "Probably not. Besides, this name is too popular. Could it be a pseudonym?"

Luke also thought of this possibility.

Lucy said, "If it's a pseudonym, why not just write the supervisor's name?"

Inoue Nami replied, "His target is the Ministry of Information, but he also wants to separate the two bombs."

Luke also agreed with Inoue Nami's guess, "Lucy, I need your help to find another package."

Lucy trembled violently and said in a trembling voice, "Will it... explode suddenly?"

"As long as you find it, you can leave immediately. I will always stand by your side and leave the rest to me."

Lucy nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards the front desk. She walked slowly and lightly, as if she was worried that her heavy steps might cause an explosion.

Lucy walked to the position four or five meters away from the front desk, walked around to the back of the front desk, pointed to a black package under the front desk, "That's the black bag, no one should have touched it."

"Are you sure that's the one?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Lucy said, stepping back.

After just a few steps, she seemed to be about to collapse, so Nami Inoue hurriedly supported her from behind.

Luke used a detection card on the black package, but did not detect any electronic equipment being used inside.

Luke breathed a sigh of relief, explaining that even if there was a bomb inside the package, it was not a time bomb or a remote-controlled bomb.

It's most likely a trigger bomb. As long as you don't touch it, it shouldn't cause an explosion.

Luke waved, "Everyone retreat and wait for the bomb disposal experts to come."

It is better to leave this matter to professionals.

Patrol police and ambulances arrived at the scene one after another.

Because there might be a bomb, Luke didn't let them in.

When the bomb disposal experts arrived, Luke also retreated outside.

Red also arrived and looked at Luke and Xiao Hei, "How are you two? Are you hurt?"

Xiao Hei shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "E on, this little movement is not as loud as my mother's voice."

Rhett said seriously, "I can understand your mother, there is a reason why she has a loud voice."

Xiao Hei "……."

Red looked at Luke, "Are there many casualties caused by the explosion?"

Luke said, "The explosion site was in the supervisor's office, a little far away from the main office area.

The only person known to have died so far is the supervisor.

Several desks near the supervisor's office were affected by the explosion, and the people on the seats suffered varying degrees of injuries, but none were fatal.

Most of the other personnel were frightened and there were no major problems."

Rhett nodded and asked, "Do you think this explosion is related to the chemical raw materials found in the slaughterhouse?"

"Arnett Stone used to work here and is still in contact with colleagues who have a good relationship here. I think it is entirely possible.

My guess is that Director Javier Hagen may have known something about the Arnett Stone investigation, and maybe that's why he was killed."

During the conversation, bomb disposal experts were ready.
