"Report, something happened to Captain Wei."
Wei Jianguo looked up from a pile of information and said slowly and calmly, "Tell me more details."
"There was a major train collision on the Cuilan Line. Both trains were travelling at 100 kilometres per hour when they collided. The number of casualties is still unknown."
That day Su tried his best to calm his breathing, and he came to report as soon as he got the news.
Wei Jianguo stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the newspaper."
That day, Su said, "It just happened, and the newspapers haven't reported it yet. The buyer brought back the news."
"You continue to pay attention to subsequent events to confirm the authenticity of the matter."
"yes".
This was Su's new job content that day, collecting information.
No matter what the information was, whether it was gossip from the family compound, hearsay, official information, or information from newspapers and radio, he needed to organize it and report to Wei Jianguo every day.
If there is breaking information like today, it needs to be reported in a timely manner.
Although he had no idea what his leader was up to, he still carried out his orders conscientiously.
Wei Jianguo did this just because he didn't want to be cut off from the outside world.
He increasingly discovered that some seemingly insignificant and easily overlooked little things might be the threads hidden in the dark, quietly woven into major events.
For example, the last time Song Shuqian saw a villager burning something, who would have thought that he was so brave that he burned a box containing anti-tank mines.
When Wei Jianguo returned home in the evening, the matter was also spreading in the staff quarters, and Song Shuqian also knew about it.
She pulled Wei Jianguo aside and asked, "Honey, is the train collision true? How could trains collide? Each train has its own track."
"Su also mentioned this today, it should be true. I asked him to pay attention and I will tell you when there is news."
"Well, if it's true, I won't be able to sit still in a car anymore. How scary! Isn't this a disaster from heaven?"
As the couple was talking, Na Ri Su arrived and said, "Captain, Commander Feng is looking for you."
Wei Jianguo had a feeling that something was wrong, "You should have a good rest at home, no need to wait for me."
The two of them trotted all the way to Teacher Feng's house, and Teacher Feng was already waiting in the yard. "Here we are. You know about the collision between two trains. This is a bit strange. Take two people with you to investigate the cause."
"Yes. I guarantee to complete the mission." Wei Jianguo stood straight and obeyed his superiors unconditionally.
After agreeing, he returned to his normal self, "Commander, shouldn't the police station be responsible for this? At worst, there's the Railway Bureau. Why did it come to us?"
"That's why I sent you. Logically speaking, something is fishy going on and we can't find you.
But there were two researchers on the train this time, very important researchers. We suspect they are enemy spies, and the Railway Bureau and the Public Security Bureau may have been infiltrated. "
Wei Jianguo realized the seriousness of the matter, became serious, and immediately went to call for people and set off.
Having been a military wife for so many years, Song Shuqian could already tell whether Wei Jianguo needed to go on a mission by the tone and anxiety of the person calling him.
The rush today means we are leaving right away.
After Wei Jianguo left, Song Shuqian quickly packed up her things.
I helped him prepare a few sets of clothes to wear inside and some money. Although they were poor, she never let him fall into the predicament of being penniless.
When Wei Jianguo came back, Song Shuqian was helping him prepare food. Time is tight, so everything I made is easy to carry.
"Going on a mission?"
"Yes, daughter-in-law, I'm sorry that I can't stay at home with you."
"What are you talking about? I've already packed your things and put them on the kang. Go and see what you need to take. The food will be ready soon."
Wei Jianguo hugged her and went back to his room to pack his things.
When he came out, Song Shuqian had already prepared food.
"Here, be safe and try not to get hurt. Remember that the kids and I will be waiting for you at home."
Wei Jianguo hugged the person tightly in his arms, and the two leaned against each other.
Although they have become accustomed to separation, they are still reluctant to part.
Wei Jianguo kissed her, and the idea in his mind became clearer.
"Ding ding ding", a horn sounded at the door. It was Kuaishou coming to pick someone up.
Wei Jianguo kissed her again and said, "Take care of yourself. Let the two boys do anything if there is anything to do."
After watching him leave, Song Shuqian went back to the house and continued to do her own thing.
From childhood to adulthood, from the Yong Dynasty to the 1960s, she has become accustomed to separation. In her eyes, such separation is the norm and she can live well alone.
The next day, the children woke up and exercised, but did not see their father.
"Mom, where's Dad?"
"I went on a mission and left last night."
The children have also gotten used to this kind of separation, but they feel a little regretful that they didn't have the chance to see their father off.
The mother and her two daughters conscientiously carried out the plan made by Wei Jianguo for them.
Song Shuqian has now fallen in love with this kind of strength training. When practicing martial arts, she feels as if she is in an isolated environment, fully concentrating and without distractions.
This allowed her to enter a flow state, allowing her to focus all her energy on every move. Her movements were exemplary and she made rapid progress.
The children were influenced by her and were very serious.
Wei Jianguo finally arrived at the scene of the incident.
Seeing such a tragic scene, even Wei Jianguo and his colleagues, who were experienced in battle, couldn't help but gasp.
It can be inferred from the scene that at the moment of the collision, the huge shock wave tossed the two steam locomotives around like toys, the steel behemoths were twisted and deformed, parts flew everywhere, the boilers ruptured, and steam gushed out.
Four buses were ruthlessly overturned, their bodies broken, their windows shattered, and the passengers' luggage and seats scattered all over the ground.
Three other passenger cars were derailed and tilted at strange angles. The car bodies were badly damaged, with torn iron sheets revealing the frame structure inside. The scene was in a mess, with black smoke emitting from the wreckage of scrapped locomotives and passenger cars.
Through these, they seemed to see people falling to the ground groaning in pain, and smelled the smell of blood that had not completely dissipated in the air. This place seemed to be filled with the smell of burning and despair.
Wei Jianguo seemed to see the moment when the two cars collided. The sound of metal friction, glass breaking, and people shouting were intertwined together, like purgatory on earth.
The horrific scene is so terrifying that it is hard to look at.
Wei Jianguo and the other two suppressed their discomfort and began an on-site investigation, trying to find some hidden clues.
I was busy for three hours, searching the entire site, but found nothing.
Judging from all the clues, this was just an ordinary accident caused by improper dispatch by the dispatcher.
But what a coincidence.
Wei Jianguo didn't believe such a coincidence could happen.
He was determined to find out the truth. Not only for the mission, but also to comfort the dead.
When he first heard Su's report that day, he could still discuss and analyze the appearance and causes of the incident from the perspective of an observer.
However, now that he has seen the scene with his own eyes, he can truly understand the grief that penetrates his bones and wreaks havoc in his heart.
