Chapter 34 Safe Evacuation
"fxxk!"
"What bastard took the detonator away!"
Tao Xi held on to the damp wall of the sewer with one hand and held his head tightly with the other.
His ears kept making a "buzzing" sound, and even when he spoke, he could only hear his own voice.
One person who came out late because of an injury was knocked over and fainted.
The priest sat slumped in a puddle of smelly water without any movement, except for the strong man Ogulita, who was swaying around and moaning as if he was drunk.
"Damn it!"
Tao Xiqiang bit his back molars and pushed open a manhole cover casually.
A speeding police car almost frightened Tao Xi, who had just pushed open the manhole cover.
Emergency vehicles and police cars were everywhere on the nearby streets, and residents living nearby heard the explosion and fled outside helplessly.
"Tao Xi, what are you doing!"
Auguleta's voice was particularly loud, probably because of the explosion. Auguleta grabbed the sewer escalator with one hand and slapped his head hard with the other.
"I just picked this up. Look who dropped it. Don't wait for the police to come and find our clues."
Tao Xi reluctantly closed the manhole cover when he saw the detonator that had been pressed down by Augulita.
"Oh, I bought a toy for my brother."
"Do you have a younger brother?"
Tao Xi put the detonator in his pocket and rolled his eyes helplessly, not wanting to continue talking to Ogulita.
Tao Xi, who was suppressing his physical discomfort, pointed to the silent people and said, "Let's go, there are police above, we have to take them with us!"
"What did you say!"
Tao Xi couldn't suppress his temper when he saw Augusta roaring: "You idiot! Keep your voice down! There are police above!"
"You're the idiot!" Augulita thought that Tao Xi couldn't hear her beeping voice.
But when Tao Xi saw that he couldn't hear the nice words he said to Augulita, but he could hear the scolding words clearly, he immediately became angry.
Fortunately, Augusta's understanding was not bad. When he saw Tao Xi carrying the priest and walking, he immediately knew what he meant.
....
The University of California, Berkeley, is strategically located at the intersection of Oakland and the San Francisco Bay Area. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge closely connects the two cities.
Tajana Pardis bought her villa in Oakland, across the sea from the San Francisco Bay Area, because while filming in Hollywood, she also wanted to study at the Department of Literature at the University of California, Berkeley.
These were all arranged by Tausi, including a cameo role in Star Trek 4.
Tatjana Pardis is very satisfied with these. After all, she used to be a model, and her best friend Monica Bellucci returned to Italy.
"Madam, your garden has been taken care of and breakfast has been prepared for you. It's time for you to eat."
Tatjana actually doesn't like it when the maids at home call her "ma'am", but these titles and habits are engraved in the bones of these Filipino maids.
She also tried changing it many times but it didn't work.
"Okay, I understand. You should also take a rest. I have classes in the afternoon. Remember to arrange a driver for me."
Drivers, Filipino maids, luxury cars, villas, except for these, Tajana felt that she had become Tao Xi's canary. Although Tatjana Pardis complained to Tao Xi many times on the phone, Tao Xi never felt
Got it done.
If Tao Xi doesn't come to see her again this week, she will be angry!
Tatjana Pardis absentmindedly poked at the nutritious meal on her plate with her fork.
"Tsk, my little baby eats well!"
Before Tajana Pardis could react when she heard the voice coming from behind, a man hugged her tightly from behind.
"ah!"
"Taosi!"
"What's wrong with your head!"
Tatjana Pardis, whose cheeks were red, asked with concern when she saw the scratches on Taosi's forehead and the tattered clothes.
Taosi sat on Tatjana's lap and replied with a tired look: "Call Marco for me and ask him to drive the RV to pick us up and take us to Compton."
"Are you really okay?"
Tao Xi replied with a wry smile: "I may be fine now, but if you wait a little longer, I might really be in trouble."
There were several people lying in the hall downstairs, and even Augusta leaned on a sofa and fell asleep.
When Marco arrived, the entire city of Auckland was under martial law. If it hadn't been for Jeffrey Kyle's call, Marco might not have been able to get in.
As soon as he got out of the car, Marco saw the woman Tatjana.
Marco didn't care much about his brother's private life. He just had a few brief conversations with Tatjana and then left with a car full of people.
The entire city of Oakland made national headlines because of the explosion at the Oak Grove Bar and the loss of control of a Fox News helicopter. News organizations everywhere were campaigning for the deaths of reporters at the scene and the crash of the helicopter.
But the Oakland Police Department is running around like a headless chicken.
Because their chief, Colen, was also affected by the explosion, and a small pebble was splashed out and scratched his forehead.
Colen fainted, but no one knew whether he was really faint or fake.
The whole of Auckland was looking for the cause of the explosion and the murderer, and Emily Dunn also came all the way here.
Since she and Barbara went to Nicaragua and Panama for two interviews, the relationship between the two people has rapidly improved. Barbara is for Emily's connections, while Emily is borrowing Barbara's influence on the TV station.
Emily Dunn, who had changed her outfit a long time ago, had just gotten off the news van when a large number of investigative reporters gathered around to report to her.
"Our TV station reporters didn't have anything serious, but based on the information collected at the scene, we found that this incident was an explosion caused by a conflict between the police and the FBI that caused the situation at the scene to get out of control."
"We only know that the gangs involved this time are the New York Mafia and the Crips. As for the others, we have not investigated them."
Emily Dunn held a mobile phone in her hand and stared at the devastation near Oak Limba for a moment.
"Prepare to set up news equipment and arrange for an on-site reporter to report information to the main station."
As soon as Emily Dunn finished speaking, a large group of people dispersed. Unlike the American radio and television stations, Fox News was on the side. Because a plane lost control and killed three people, everyone at the scene was not in the mood.
Very high.
When Janes York saw Emily Dunn's appearance, she took the initiative to come over this time.
"We can share clues, and I think the rights of journalists need to be safeguarded together."
Emily Dunn squinted her eyes and took a serious look at the playboy Janes York and asked: "Don't you also know Tao Xi? You can ask him, maybe he has any clues."
Janes York shook his head helplessly: "I haven't gotten any clues from Taosi since you finished reporting the news in Nicaragua."
"If I said that I am too, would you believe it?"
"It seems that Tousi already has a new love. After all, the original hot dog shop has become one of the largest fast food chains in the United States."
Emily Dunn saw that Janes York's understanding of Tao Xi was still limited to the beginning, so she didn't say anything anymore.
After a night of reporting, Emily Dunn sat in the news truck with red eyes, looking a little irritated at the information fed back by the investigative reporters.
Because so far, the police not only have no news, but also protected the scene with a cordon. Apart from some peripheral photos, there is no valuable news at all.
Since Emily Dunn lost the help of Tao Xi, although she has gained some influence due to her previous overseas interviews with Barbara, she has not been able to make big news for a long time. Emily Dunn is in the company
There are fewer and fewer resources available.
This time she came here to investigate the news and issued a military order to the company!
There were more and more colleagues near the Oak Grove Bar, and Emily Dunn became more and more anxious.
"Hello!"
"Oh, who offended our gold medal investigative reporter at ABC!"
Emily Dunn instantly became happy when she heard the voice on the phone: "Taosi! Where are you? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"Are you kidding! How could this matter have anything to do with me!"
Tao Xi denied it while lying on the hospital bed and eating the loving and nutritious meal prepared for him by Tatjana.
"I thought you had a new person and forgot about the old one!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with you." Tao Xi quickly explained when he saw Tatjana stopping to feed him bananas.
"Then why are you calling here?"
"Didn't I hear that there is a big eucalyptus in Auckland? It happened that a friend of mine picked up a dynamite detonator when passing by there. I just wanted to see if you were interested."
Emily Dunn immediately became energetic when she heard Tao Xi's words: "Tao Xi, you are indeed my most trustworthy friend."
"Well, this! Besides, this detonator was picked up by my friend in the water, so it may not be of much help in case detection, but I think you should be able to find a good reason to use this detonator.
Tell us what you discovered."
Emily Dunn understood immediately when she heard Tao Xi's deliberately emphasized words.
"Can you tell me where you picked it up?"
"It was picked up from the sewer outlet of Oak Grove Park in Oakland. If you're lucky, you might be able to find some footprints somewhere."
After hanging up the phone, Tao Xi ate the fruit platter Tatjana fed him with satisfaction.
"Be honest, you have a concussion and you are still so bad..."
