Chapter 888

Originally, I thought I could go back early after participating in the public welfare activities in Guangming Town, but it happened to be heavy rain, and even the only old bridge connecting Guangming Town with the outside world collapsed.

Feeling a little weak today?

Anyway, Lu Weiwei felt this way.

Seeing that the rain was gradually decreasing, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei bid farewell to the two elderly people and drove back to the entrance of the nursing home in Guangming Town.

At this moment, many people surrounded the nursing home, everyone was holding umbrellas, and everyone had anxious expressions on their faces.

"Senior Brother Wang, what's the matter?" Gu Chen looked at Police Officer Wang who was holding sesame seed cakes, and couldn't help asking him.

"The bridge has collapsed, Guangming Town has become an isolated island, and now all vehicles are blocked at the bridgehead." Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen while eating sesame seed cakes and said, "By the way, you and Lu Weiwei haven't eaten yet, right? Hurry up, the kitchen Meals are still prepared."

"Forget about that, let's go to Laoqiao first." Gu Chen is not in the mood to eat now.

The old bridge collapsed, of course Gu Chen knew what it meant.

Perhaps people can reach the other side in other ways, but vehicles will definitely not be able to get through.

The rain is still falling, maybe it's just a short pause, but it doesn't mean to stop.

Yuan Shasha hurriedly brought a pot of sesame seed cakes, handed them to Lu Weiwei and said, "Senior Sister Lu, have some?"

"Give it to me." Lu Weiwei turned her face away and got into the co-pilot directly.

Seeing this, the others also hurried into the car.

Gu Chen drove the police car with the tail number AE86 and continued to drive along the road where he came just now, until he reached the old bridge.

At this moment, there are many staff wearing raincoats in front of the old bridge, and many vehicles begin to turn around frequently.

Gu Chen parked the car in a bush on the side of the road, trotted over with an umbrella, found a man guiding traffic and asked, "How is the situation ahead?"

"Very bad." The man in the raincoat wiped his face and put his engineering hat on his head again: "We have a heavy truck that fell into the river, and everyone is organizing a rescue."

"Get out of the way."

Just as the man finished speaking, there was another burst of yelling from the crowd.

Several men helped a man with blood on his face to the shore, and they quickly held an umbrella for him to keep out the rain.

Seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly led everyone to trot over.

"How are you doing?" Gu Chen asked him.

The man covered in blood shook his head: "It's nothing serious, it's just some skin scratches. It's a pity for this heavy truck."

The voice fell, and another woman cursed: "You are really serious. You are usually told to decorate less, but you just don't listen. You know that this is an old bridge, but you are desperately overloading it. Now it's okay? The bridge collapsed How did you tell us to get out?"

"That's right, you only care about yourself, do you think about us?"

"Now that the bridge has collapsed, what do you say?"

……

Many people seem to be residents of Guangming Town, and they seem to have to go to the city to run errands.

But at this time, the old bridge collapsed, causing traffic congestion on both sides of the bridge, and many people were anxious.

But there is no way, the reality is right in front of you.

Unless the vehicle is equipped with a propeller, it has to return to the original place.

After looking around for a week, Gu Chen asked the woman who scolded just now: "Sister, is there any other way to the outside world in Guangming Town?"

"No, our Guangming Town is not on the main road. In the past, the traffic was inconvenient, and we had to drive around the mountain road."

"It's a good thing to build a tunnel now and shorten the distance for us, but these trucks towing earthwork are all big guys, and they are always overloaded. How can our old bridge bear it?"

"That's right, it's all because of their heavy trucks."

"If it weren't for them, our bridge would not have collapsed."

"These people are really wicked."

Instigated by the middle-aged women, the residents of Guangming Town were excited, wishing to throw the heavy-duty truck driver that collapsed the old bridge into the river again.

The heavy-duty truck driver, whose face was covered in blood after seeing a catastrophe, was also panicked at this moment, afraid that these residents would come to trouble him.

But seeing Gu Chen wearing a police uniform, he took Gu Chen as the straw for self-help, quickly grabbed Gu Chen's arm and said, "Comrade police, it's none of my business, it's because their bridge is too old, and they clearly Knowing that there are hidden dangers and not repairing them, our engineering agency has also mentioned to them many times to ask them to strengthen the bridge, but we have not seen them take any action."

"What do you mean? You mean that the bridge collapsed, and we blame Guangming Town?" The middle-aged woman gave up when she heard it, and came over to argue with a blushing neck.

The heavy truck driver hid behind Gu Chen, but he couldn't explain why.

"Okay, stop arguing." Gu Chen stretched out his hand to push the two away, then walked to the side of the broken bridge, and carefully checked the scene.

The old bridge broke and collapsed from the middle, and steel bars were still exposed on many cement blocks.

Judging from the fracture structure, it seems that this old bridge can indeed be called a dangerous bridge.

In the river below, the truck loaded with earthworks was dumping into the river at the moment.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a white work helmet ran forward with a phone in his hand and said, "Comrade police, the city is already coordinating with the engineering department to send a professional bridge construction team to repair the bridge."

"However, temporarily build a simple steel frame structure bridge, add some processing, and it will open to traffic at the earliest. Look, can these people go back first? There is no result getting stuck here, and today is impossible."

Gu Chen was right when he thought about it, but the scene was too noisy and he couldn't hear the words clearly.

So Gu Chen walked back into his police car, turned on the police horn, activated the button and shouted:

"Everyone, I just got the news that the bridge-building team in the city is already on the way, but the repair of this broken bridge will have to be tomorrow at the earliest, so please friends on both sides of the strait who continue to wait, please go back for the time being, and bring you We apologize for the inconvenience.”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone who heard the announcement on the radio was immediately frustrated.

"What? Tomorrow?"

"I bought today's ticket, how can I wait until tomorrow?"

"My wife is still waiting for me to pick me up at the airport, so I don't feel at ease if she lives outside."

"Can't you think of a way?"

……

Seeing that everyone was complaining, Gu Chen continued to shout with a loudspeaker: "Please go back first, make way for the emergency repair road, and repair the bridge as soon as possible, so that everyone can pass through as soon as possible. Instead of waiting here for no reason, it is better to first Go home, please cooperate actively.”

This time, everyone seems to feel very reasonable.

After all, the bridge collapsed, this is a fact, is it useful to stay here to add to the traffic?Obviously not.

Rather than doing this, it is better to listen to the police and go home first, and after the bridge is repaired, everyone will go their own way.

"Let's go back."

In the crowd, I don't know who said something, everyone sighed, shook their heads helplessly and walked back to the car.

Everyone started to take out their mobile phones, ready to inform relatives and friends of the scene.

The road at the scene quickly became clear...

Afterwards, Gu Chen cooperated with the staff of the Tunnel Engineering Department to block the road and put up a warning sign at the intersection of the passage to inform the passing vehicles of the fact that the bridge in front of them had collapsed, and let the passing vehicles return the same way.

After a while of busy work, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

Gu Chen took everyone back to Guangming Town Nursing Home.

At this moment, members of the Volunteer Association also gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, everyone planned to return to the urban area around 2 pm after having lunch in the nursing home.

But now the sudden situation caught everyone by surprise. Everyone scattered in various corners of the nursing home and began to call their family members to inform them of the situation in Guangming Town.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were taken to the kitchen by Dean Gao to have a late lunch.

Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Zhou Xiaoling, Zhao Wenjing, Chairman Zhou and others all gathered in the kitchen together.

Perhaps because of the sudden incident, everyone seemed a little frustrated.

Now everyone has to consider a very real problem, that is, the collapse of the old bridge, all members of the Volunteer Association will definitely not be able to go back, at least they will have to live in Guangming Town tonight.

So Principal Gao went to the hotel in the town to inquire about the situation.

But even so, everyone knew in their hearts that the hotel must be overcrowded at the moment, and everyone was waiting to spend the night here, and then the road would clear up tomorrow, so they could go about their business.

"Ham, it's really unlucky." Zhou Xiaoling looked up at everyone, and couldn't help complaining: "It was already difficult enough a while ago, but now I have encountered this kind of thing, why do you think it is so difficult for me?"

"Don't complain, everyone is the same." Chairman Zhou sighed helplessly while smoking a cigarette: "This is a good deed, and it may not necessarily be rewarded."

"Pfft!" Zhao Wenjing couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard President Zhou's breath, "I said, President Zhou, don't be foolish, think of a way quickly, where shall we live tonight?"

"Wait until Principal Gao comes back and have a look." Chairman Zhou has no idea now, and can only pin his hopes on Principal Gao.

Seeing that so many volunteer association members are stuck here, they don't know how to arrange it.

You can't let everyone compete with the old man for the bed, right?

Just as everyone was thinking about it, there was a sound of small and quick footsteps outside the door. Principal Gao Ming put down his umbrella, walked in panting, and said, "I have asked about the hotel. There are not many rooms available. The reservation is made, and it may accommodate more than 20 people."

"It's not enough. There are so many of us, how can more than 20 people live?" Zhao Wenjing felt that the situation was not good when she heard it. Many people might have to open the floor tonight.

Gu Chen asked Principal Gao: "Are there any spare beds in the nursing home?"

"There is one, it used to be where Uncle Qin and Uncle Liu lived, but these two couldn't get along with the rest of the nursing home and moved out, so this small room has always been empty, but it can only accommodate two people? "

"Think about it again." Officer Wang said.

Headmaster Gao Ming had a headache, patted his head and suggested: "My family can move a few places, and my sister Gao Min's family can also move, but give priority to female members."

"But there is still a shortage of beds." Zhou Xiaoling is in charge of coordinating the work of members.

Doing the math, there are still five or six people without beds.

Gu Chen suddenly thought of the small bungalows in the suburbs, and couldn't help asking Principal Gao: "Then there seems to be a spare room for Uncle Qin, and I don't know if he can live there?"

"Uncle Qin?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Principal Gao frowned slightly, and reminded him in good faith:
"It's not comfortable for you to live in his place. Besides, except for the room he and Uncle Liu lived in, which is barely okay, the other rooms are just like utility rooms. Although there are a few beds, it must be uncomfortable to live in."

"It doesn't matter, we can live in some of them. We don't choose, or all the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch will live there. Do you think so?" Gu Chen asked.

Principal Gao was a little embarrassed, thinking that he was a guest, and let the police live in that dilapidated bungalow, wouldn't it be too wronged for him?
But seeing that there are no extra vacant beds, everyone's accommodation problem must be solved, right?After thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay then, I'll find some mats in the warehouse of the nursing home later and send them to you."

"It's a quiet place, but there are many mosquitoes at night, so I'll bring you some mosquito coils."

"Then I'll live with you too?" Zhou Xiaoling looked at everyone, seeming to be happy.

Principal Gao nodded silently: "Okay, then I will wrong you."

Bring accommodation supplies in the nursing home, and everyone drove to the gate of the small courtyard in the suburbs.

After getting off the car, Principal Gao walked into the courtyard with a smile, and shouted into the house: "Uncle Qin, Uncle Liu, are you there?"

"If I don't, can I still be buried?" As soon as Principal Gao's words fell, the tall and thin uncle Qin pushed open the door and asked Principal Gao outside the door: "What's the matter, Principal Gao, what brought you today?" Was it blown here?"

"Hey, it's like this." Principal Gao walked to Uncle Qin's side and began to discuss with Uncle Qin.

"You see, the old bridge is broken. All the members of the volunteer association in the city are trapped in Guangming Town. Although we have solved the problem of accommodation for most of them, it is still not enough. Therefore, we specially arranged these police comrades to live in Guangming Town. You are here, look..."

"Didn't you say it earlier?" Seeing that Principal Gao still wanted to ask for his own opinion, Uncle Qin immediately walked to the corridor of the row house and kicked open a few doors at random: "You can live in this place, and you can live in it after cleaning it later. .”

"Then...you agreed?" Headmaster Gao felt very surprised, feeling that this weird old man would agree so readily today?
But Uncle Qin is not surprised: "I have wanted to say it for a long time. If Officer Gu is willing to stay for one night, he can arrange it in my room."

"Unexpectedly, God seems to understand my meaning. The old bridge is broken. This seems to be God's will."

"What is God's will? Hurry up and help clean up the room." Uncle Liu, who had just woken up, came out rubbing his right eye when he heard movement outside.

Principal Gao was overjoyed: "That's fine, that's the deal."

After glancing at Gu Chen and everyone else, Principal Gao said again: "Today, I'm wronged, everyone will live here first, and when the old bridge is repaired, everyone can go back smoothly."

"There is Principal Lao Gao."

"You're welcome."

After a few people joked briefly under the eaves, Principal Gao sighed with relief, and then drove away from the townhouse.

Seeing that Gu Chen was destined to live here, Uncle Qin said with a smile: "Officer Gu, let me just say, you will definitely live here tonight, why don't you play Landlord Fight with me tonight? You can also play chess."

"No problem." These Gu Chen know how to satisfy Uncle Qin's source of happiness.

So everyone began to tidy up the room and prepare for tonight's accommodation.

The time soon came to 5 pm.

When everyone was sitting in the yard chatting about daily life, Gu Chen noticed a familiar figure standing not far from the row house.

The sharp-eyed Gu Chen pointed to the big tree in the distance and said, "Is that Zhang Mu over there?"

"Zhang Mu?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly followed Gu Chen's gaze after hearing the words.

I saw Zhang Mu getting closer and closer, as if he was coming directly to the bungalow.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoling also slapped her forehead: "It's over, it's over, this psoriasis seems to be irreversible, why hasn't he left yet?"

"Maybe... we won't be able to leave tonight." Yuan Shasha glanced at Zhou Xiaoling and reminded her kindly.

Everyone ate the watermelon in their hands, just quietly looked at Zhang Mu who was carrying a luggage bag, gently pushed open the gate of the yard, and walked directly in front of Zhou Xiaoling.

Zhou Xiaoling was quite embarrassed, wanted to hide, but could only face it.

After some entanglement in her heart, Zhou Xiaoling stared at Zhang Mu and said, "Zhang Mu, what exactly do you want to do? Didn't I tell you to go back early?"

"I want to go back, but..." Turning his head and looking into the distance, Zhang Mu also smiled and said, "But the bridge is broken, so I can't go back. I can only stay in Guangming Town tonight."

"Then if you stay, you stay. What are you doing here?" Zhou Xiaoling didn't want to talk to Zhang Mu, her eyes turned to one side.

Zhang Mu was aggrieved, and said, "I'm homeless now, and the hotel I used to stay in before has no more beds."

"So?" Zhou Xiaoling turned to ask him.

"So..." Looking at Uncle Qin and Uncle Liu, Zhang Mu asked with a look of grievance: "So, can you let me stay here temporarily tonight? After all, I have no acquaintance here, and the only person I can know is you , Zhou Xiaoling."

"I don't know you well, you should think of other ways." Zhou Xiaoling seemed to be very heartless because of Zhang Mu's relationship.

From Gu Chen's point of view, this does not match her identity as the deputy director of the Volunteer Association Office.

But it is also understandable, after all, Zhang Mu is indeed a restless trouble for her.

But considering that the old bridge collapsed, the roads were interrupted, and Zhang Mu was trapped in Guangming Town with nowhere to go, Gu Chen still reminded, "How about...let him live?"

"But..." Seeing that Gu Chen was speaking for Zhang Mu, Zhou Xiaoling, who was a little resolute before, still asked Uncle Qin softly: "But you have to ask the owner of the house."

"No problem, if you don't have a place to live, you can live here. There are rooms." Uncle Qin agreed very readily.

The house hadn't been this lively in years.

Today, because of the collapse of an old bridge, it seems to be a little different.

"Oh, thank you, sir." With the permission of the master, Zhang Mu immediately grinned.

But considering the delicate relationship between Zhang Mu and Zhou Xiaoling, Police Officer Wang still kindly suggested: "You can live here, but you can't harass Zhou Xiaoling. If you can't do this, you can find another place to live."

"Okay, I know, thank you comrade policeman." Zhang Mu bowed deeply to Police Officer Wang.

However, Gu Chen noticed from his profile that Zhang Mu seemed to be smiling?And that smile seemed a little weird.
