[Xia Chujian]: Leader Meng, why do you think the explosion was not caused by a natural gas leak?
Meng Guanghui: I saw the images from the Special Security Bureau, but they're no longer available online. The explosion looked exactly like a targeted blast. What kind of explosion caused by a natural gas leak could have such an effect?
Xia Chujian's heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be a targeted blast?
That's outrageous!
But it is a fact that the whole building has become a pile of ruins.
Xia Chujian didn't have any data for comparison, so he didn't know which side to believe.
She calmed herself down and continued asking.
Xia Chujian: How do you know the explosion was caused by a natural gas leak? Is that the official conclusion?
[Meng Guanghui]: The fire investigation team of the Mulan City Correctional Service has closed the case. They said that the fire and explosion were caused by a gas leak in the aging natural gas pipeline system. No one in the building could escape. It was really tragic.
[Xia Chujian]: Did they give any other reasons?
[Meng Guanghui]: Any other reasons?
[Xia Chujian]: For example, why didn’t the more than 500 people in the building run out?
[Meng Guanghui]: ...What do you mean? So there was a special reason why you were able to escape?"
Xia Chujian remembered that when she was waiting for her aunt and Wu Fu to come out of the emergency room in the hospital, the Correctional Department sent someone to ask her how she discovered the fire and how she escaped with her family.
She said that she had been chatting with Yu Wangyou for a long time at night and couldn't sleep, and then she found a fire across the street...
Now, she was about to tell Meng Guanghui about Teflon, but suddenly she remembered that Meng Guanghui didn't know that she had Shao Siming's black and silver mecha, so she had to continue with the perfunctory statement she had made to the Correctional Department.
[Xia Chujian]: Well, last night, I talked with Yu Wangyou until very late. I felt very depressed and couldn't sleep. As a result, I found that something was wrong on the other side. The family members inhaled too much dust and fainted. It was me and my household robot who rescued them.
Meng Guanghui: You're really lucky! You don't have a place to live now, right? The bureau has temporary dormitories for employees. I've applied for a large suite for you, perfect for a family of three.
Xia Chujian: Oh, Commander, you're so kind! But I have another house outside the city, and Inspector Huo asked you to give me some more guns and ammunition. I sent the list to Inspector Huo. Did you receive it?
Meng Guanghui: Got it. So that's how it is. I just forwarded it to my secretary, Xiao Feng. What's your new address?
Xia Chujian sent the address of her new home to Meng Guanghui.
[Meng Guanghui]: Done! Xiao Feng will use a drone to deliver the stuff to you. You want so much? Do you want a whole small arsenal or something? Hahahahahaha!
Xia Chujian: “…”
I didn't expect this leader to be so perceptive.
But there was no way Xia Chujian would admit it.
Xia Chujian: "Boss, this little bit of guns and ammunition is enough for an arsenal. Who are you looking down on? My new home is outside of Mulan City, and we don't have any security measures. I need these things to protect myself."
[Meng Guanghui]: You are right. I am busy here and will come to see you when I get back.
Not long after finishing the conversation with Meng Guanghui, Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian knocked on the door.
Xia Chujian waved at them: "Sister Cai, Brother Song!"
Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian rushed in: "Where are your aunt and Wufu? They haven't come out yet?"
"Still in the medical cabin." Xia Chujian stood up, rubbed his neck, and said, "Wait here for me. If there is any emergency, notify me immediately."
She pointed to the quantum optical computer watch on her wrist and said, "I need to go home and see if I can dig out some unburned objects."
Ping Qiong nodded: "No problem, leave it to me."
He also asked Xia Chujian: "You really don't want Song Mingqian to go with you?"
Xia Chujian shook her head and stuffed the gun box into Song Mingqian's arms: "Just help me keep an eye on it."
She was wearing Shao Siming's black and silver mecha under her coat, and in the pocket of her work coat was the Quzhong 110 pistol that she had just taken out of the gun box.
With them, she feels extremely safe!
Xia Chujian turned around and left quickly.
When the household robot Liushun saw this, he slid over with his puppy Sixi in his arms and followed.
Ping Qiong said enviously, "I want to buy a housework robot in the future."
No matter what Ping Qiong said, Song Mingqian would just say "Okay, okay, okay".
He secretly made a note that when he married Ping Qiong, he must buy her a housekeeping robot.
…
When Xia Chujian got on the inner city's suspended train, he found that Liu Shun and Sixi had followed him.
Its exquisite hemispherical mechanical head is now concave into a basin shape, but it still has no problem talking and walking, but its appearance is a bit unsightly.
Xia Chujian brought Si Xi over and comforted Liu Shun, saying, "When Auntie and Wu Fu are discharged from the hospital, I will find a master to repair your head."
Liushun is very well-behaved outside and doesn't say a word. He doesn't talk as much as he does at home.
The two took the inner city suspension train in front of the hospital back to their original home.
The building used to look particularly clean and tidy among a group of buildings of the same age. The exterior walls had been cleaned when Yu Wangyou's family was renovating the building.
That's a standout among the crowd.
Now, the chicken is still there, but the crane is gone.
My aunt was right. If a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will surely destroy it.
Xia Chujian felt a little sad.
She touched the large mask on her face and the helmet eyepiece that served as sunglasses, walked across the narrow sidewalk, and returned to the ruins of her building.
