When the police and fire brigade arrived, they first started rescuing people.
Before that, Qin Feng and He Muqing had successfully rescued four people from the ruins of a pile of decoration materials.
Emergency vehicles from nearby hospitals rushed here frantically, and more police officers pulled up an isolation zone about 300 meters away. No one was allowed to get close except rescuers.
The death toll at the scene has been determined to be five, sitting closest to the center of the explosion.
Three people were killed on the spot. One had his aorta cut off by broken glass and died of excessive blood loss. The other was blown away by the shock wave and hit the stair guardrail a few meters away, and died after being penetrated through the chest by the iron guardrail.
The seriously injured were sent to the ambulance first, while those with minor injuries and the ability to move went to the roadside on their own to wait for the arrival of the next ambulance.
The first group of police officers to arrive took control of the area where the hotel was located. When the leader of the squadron received a call, his face suddenly changed: "Understood, I will arrest you right now."
After winding up the line, he waved his hand: "You guys, go and control that man and woman."
"What." Several people found it unacceptable, because those two people had been rescuing injured people. This was something that everyone could see.
The squadron leader lowered his voice and said: "They may be terrorists, and they were responsible for the explosion."
Several people suddenly realized it and immediately gathered around.
"Boy, please cooperate with our work." The leading policeman said. While speaking, his two colleagues took out handcuffs.
"What do you mean?" Leader He asked.
Although she had guessed that such a situation would happen, she just surrendered without saying a word. This was not her style, and Young Master Qin did not have such a habit.
"You are suspected of being involved in this explosion, please cooperate with our work." the police said, and he did not forget to add: "If you are innocent, we promise to give you a clean slate."
Qin Feng sneered and said: "Why do you suspect it was us? If we were responsible for the explosion, why didn't we flee the scene immediately and wait for you to catch us?"
The police said: "We received reports from the masses. Now we are not saying that you caused the explosion, but we are asking you to go back and assist in the investigation. Again, if it was not you who did it, we will restore your innocence."
Leader He looked at Qin Feng and said: "You really guessed it right. We are doing this to cooperate with them and accept the investigation, or to use other means."
"Of course we are cooperating with the police, we are good citizens." Young Master Qin said with a smile. Since the development of the matter was completely within his expectation, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Isn't it just to go to the police station? I used to be a frequent visitor there. It would be a pity not to experience the difference between the police station here and Pingyuan City after finally coming to Beijing.
The policeman's face darkened and he corrected him: "We are not police uncles. We are only a few years older than you. Please don't call us uncles."
Let me go, the police have learned to act cute these days.
Young Master Qin blinked and said, "I am 18 this year, what about you?"
Several people stopped talking. They were all about thirty years old. How could they tell their age in front of an eighteen-year-old?
The two were not in a hurry to identify themselves, but cooperated in being handcuffed, then put into a police car and roared away to the nearest police station.
Soon, the two were separated and placed in different interrogation books.
Ten minutes later, two policemen walked into the interrogation room where Mr. Qin was sitting, holding a stack of photos and a tablet.
"What's your name?" the policeman asked.
"Qin Feng."
"How old are you?" the policeman continued to ask.
"Twenty years old."
"Career." These are questions that everyone who comes in must answer.
"A sophomore at the University of Pingyuan City, Central Plains Province." Mr. Qin was very cooperative.
Another police officer spread out the photo, then turned on his tablet and started playing the surveillance video at the entrance of the hotel. The parked Grand Cherokee suddenly emitted a white light and was blown up along with the surrounding vehicles.
"This is the picture captured by the surveillance video. You must be familiar with the car that exploded. Do you have anything to say?" the policeman asked.
He shook his head and said, "It's true that we drove the car, but I don't know why it exploded."
"Boy, you still don't want to admit it." The policeman said sternly: "Your car exploded. Do you know why? We followed up the criminal investigation personnel on the scene and concluded that the explosive was no less than 50%." Kilograms of high explosives, could it be that someone put the bomb in your car?"
"Yes, that's what I was about to say." He said with a smile: "The bomb must have been installed by someone else. I am the victim. You should go find the person who installed the bomb immediately."
The policeman sneered and said, "Sorry, we have seen the surveillance videos of several shops around you. Since your car was parked there, no one has approached it, and no one has put a bomb in it."
"That was installed before we arrived at the hotel. Have you done any investigation?" He began to play off: "Anyway, I didn't install the bomb, and I didn't detonate it at all. You have to investigate it carefully."
In another interrogation room, He Muqing was answering the same question.
Like Mr. Qin, her reason was that someone had planted a bomb in the car. When the police mentioned that the surveillance video had not found this problem, she said lazily: "That was planted before we arrived at the hotel. Have you done any investigation? Anyway, I didn’t install the bomb, I didn’t detonate it at all. You have to investigate it carefully.”
The person responsible for interrogating Young Master Qin could still yell a few words from time to time, but these two guys really couldn't bear to yell at the beautiful woman.
"Okay, then tell me where your car has been parked." A policeman picked up a pen, prepared to record it, and then went to the relevant places to investigate and collect evidence.
Meimei He replied: "It has been parked in the Military Commission compound."
"Okay, Military Commission compound, where else is there?" the policeman asked again.
He Meimei said: "No, we drove another car two days ago. This is the first time we drove it in a while. It has been parked in the Military Commission compound."
"Okay, we will send people to investigate...the Military Commission compound, right?" The policeman suddenly raised his head and exclaimed: "What are you talking about, the Military Commission compound, are you sure it is the Military Commission compound."
A similar scream came from outside: "What did you say, Military Commission compound?"
Although the capital is a place filled with officials, there are only a handful of people who can live in the Military Commission compound.
Those who are eligible to move in must at least have the rank of major general and be a heavyweight on the military committee. Ordinary little fish and shrimps can't even think about it.
