Chapter 444 Aftermath and investigation
The boss stood there with a face as pale as dust and sweating profusely. I don't know if he was sweating from running out in the winter or from being frightened.
Maybe both.
"Yes, I understand. I'll handle it now." The guard camp leader bowed down to apologize. Seeing that the general office had specific instructions, he quickly led people to arrange it.
The guard battalion commander of this arsenal was once the deputy commander of a battalion under the 21st Association of Li Yuanhong, a fellow from Huangpi.
After Li Yuanhong concurrently served as the general office of the Hanyang Arsenal, he transferred this fellow to strengthen the situation and promoted him to the commander of the guard camp of the Arsenal.
Unexpectedly, not long after the Huangpi fellow came here, such a major liability accident occurred. He really didn't know how to deal with it properly. Li Yuanhong could only feel angry and anxious.
"Brother Song Qing, please don't get angry. The first thing you need to do is go to the hospital and take care of the injured Ye Gong. I am responsible for Mr. Huo Shan's safety here. Let's meet again tomorrow."
Realizing that Li Yuanhong was in a state of being without a master, Chen Tianhua quickly suggested something.
Li Yuanhong glanced around fiercely. He never dreamed that holding a small celebration banquet would almost kill Mr. Huo Shan, a metallurgical expert.
It's so bad, he almost lost his soul.
"Okay, that's all for now, Deacon Zhao! Call your wife and let us go to the hospital."
"Yes..." Deacon Zhao responded and ran into the back hall.
…
After Li Yuanhong and others left, Chen Tianhua ran back to the hall and saw the general affairs officer of the Ordnance Industry Department and the arrest team members interrogating the servants and maids in the courtyard.
"Where is Mr. Huo?" Chen Tianhua asked.
The investigation of the case has nothing to do with him. He knows who is behind the scenes, but it is difficult to seize the other party's evidence.
At present, what he is most concerned about is Huo Shan's mental condition. He is about to synthesize a50 high carbon steel, so nothing can go wrong.
"For the record, Mr. Huo Shan, Mr. Huo Shan is probably surrounded by guards from the guard camp in the master bedroom."
The general affairs officer in the Ordnance Industry Department's face was still a little pale, and he had not fully recovered from the shock he had just received.
Chen Tianhua had no time to say anything, he turned around and ran into the backyard bedroom area.
There were guards everywhere in the backyard, and even sentries on the roof. As soon as he reached the door, he heard the quarrel inside.
"Why are you locking me here? I am the expert you invited. Life is free, not your prisoner!" Huo Shan's hoarse voice came from inside the house.
Guard platoon leader: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I have been ordered to ensure your personal safety. If there is another mistake, we will all lose our heads, so you can't leave this room now!"
Huo Shan: "My assistant was shot twice while trying to protect me. Now his life or death is unknown. In any case, I should go visit him and show some concern."
"Mr. Huo, please don't worry. Ye Han should be fine. Wuchang Mission Hospital is nearby, and General Li has rushed to the hospital. You calm down first!"
Before Chen Tianhua could step through the door, the voice came in first.
He could tell from a glance at Ye Han's injuries just now that the two bullets were not in the left chest, but one in the right shoulder and one in the right lung of the back.
If the pistol is ten meters away and does not hit the head or heart, it will not cause much damage to other parts. As long as the bullet is removed in time and the bleeding is stopped, there will be no life-threatening consequences.
"Oh Hua Zhi, how is Ye Han doing?"
When Huo Shan saw Chen Tianhua come in, his heavy and anxious heart suddenly surged into a clear spring. He broke free from the wall of guards and rushed forward.
"Don't worry, there is absolutely no fear for his life. He was hit in the shoulder and back, and the wounds from the pistol were not serious. He will wake up that night after taking out the bullet. Brother Huo Shan, don't worry." Chen Tianhua held his shoulders and took a step further.
comforted.
Huo Shan's eyes were bloodshot, red and swollen, and there were vegetable stains and oil stains on his face and clothes that he couldn't remove in time. He looked quite pitiful.
The guards were frightened by the assassination scene just now, and now they were unaware of the situation outside, so they could only surround him in the middle of the room.
"All the guards here should retreat outside the house and be on guard, as long as I'm in the house." Chen Tianhua ordered in a cold tone.
"yes…"
These guards were very obedient to his orders because they had long heard of the young master's reputation in the world.
At the banquet just now, he was the first to discover the clues and raise the alarm, which prevented the murderer's plan to assassinate Huo Shan from succeeding.
Therefore, the guard platoon leader waved his hand, and the guards voluntarily retreated outside the house and stood guard around the courtyard and on the roof.
After the guards withdrew, Huo Shan's tense nerves finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and he showed his true feelings, twitching and crying.
Although he had joined the Revolutionary Party and the Alliance, he had never been on the battlefield and experienced a bloody gun battle. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing. This small celebration banquet after returning from South Asia was something he would never forget.
This is the current situation of China's suffering. Doing anything may cost your life.
Chen Tianhua held Huo Shan's shoulders and persuaded:
"It's all over now, Mr. Huo, you'd better calm down, go to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes, and then lie on the bed to rest."
Huo Shan nodded silently, got up obediently, went to the bathroom to rinse, then changed into pajamas and went to bed to rest.
There is a fireplace burning in the room and the warmth is flowing. As soon as people relax after being frightened, they can fall asleep immediately.
After Chen Tianhua waited for Huo Shan to lie down and rest, he closed the door and walked to the backyard. The guard platoon leader came forward.
He ordered the platoon leader to take turns to be on guard outside every two hours. The weather outside was too cold, so everyone was asked to warm up by the fire, but they must maintain a high degree of vigilance.
After ordering the guards, he went to the front yard again. The living room was all cleaned up. The chefs and maids were standing by the wall tremblingly. Next to them stood the general affairs officer and the guards. Obviously no one dared to let in without the chief's words.
.
Xu Yunyuan was also watching indifferently in the living room.
"Have they all been interrogated?"
"Reporting to the Chief Director, these have all been interrogated. Here are the interrogation records." An officer from the arrest team handed over the records.
After Chen Tianhua took a look at it, he found that he was not interested in reading it, so he handed it back to
The officer said: "Put them all back to the dormitory, and give these interrogation records to your commander."
Then he turned to the chef and maids and said: "I will go to work as usual recently, but
You are not allowed to go home or leave this house, do you understand?"
"I understand, sir." The maid and chefs replied tremblingly and left one after another.
Chen Tianhua then walked towards Xu Yunyuan and said, "Come on, come with me to the front yard and outside for a walk to enjoy the cold wind."
"Um."
The two of them walked out of the hall one step at a time.
In the night, large snowflakes were floating all over the sky. The few lines of blood dripping in the courtyard were gradually covered by the snow, but they were still faintly visible under the light.
I don't know if it was Ye Han's blood or the assassin's, but the blood dripping outside the courtyard door must be the assassin's.
Who cooperated with the assassin to pull the switch?
Also, how did the enemy know about the celebration party tonight?
