Chapter 189 Safe Evacuation
"Fxxk!"

"Which bastard picked up the detonator!"

Tao Xi supported the wet wall of the sewer with one hand and tightly covered his head with the other.

His ears kept making a "buzzing" sound, and even when he was talking, he could only hear his own voice.

The one who came out late due to injury was overturned and passed out.

The priest sat slumped on a puddle of stinky water and did not move at all, except Augusta, a burly man who wobbled around as if he was drunk.

"Damn!"

Tao Xiqiang bit his back molars and pushed a manhole cover casually.

A speeding police car almost scared Tao Xi who had just pushed the manhole cover away.

The nearby streets were full of ambulances and police cars, and the residents living nearby heard the explosion and fled helplessly towards the outside.

"Taoxi what are you doing!"

Augusta's voice was particularly loud, probably because of the explosion. Augusta grabbed the sewer escalator with one hand and slapped him on the head vigorously 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 saw the detonator that had been pushed down by Augusta and closed the manhole cover helplessly.

"Oh, the toy I bought for my brother."

"Do you have any younger brothers?"

Tausi put the detonator in his pocket and rolled his eyes helplessly, refusing to continue talking to Augusta.

Tao Xi, who suppressed his physical discomfort, pointed to the few people who had not moved and said, "Let's go, there are policemen on it, we have to take them along!"

"What are you talking about!"

Seeing Augusta's roar, Tao Xi couldn't suppress his temper: "You idiot! Keep your voice down! There are police officers!"

"You're the idiot!" Augusta thought she couldn't hear the voice Tao Xi was muttering.

But Tao Xi couldn't hear when he saw himself saying good things to Augusta, but he could understand what he was saying when he scolded him, and he immediately became angry.

But fortunately, Augusta's comprehension ability is not bad, and he immediately understood what he meant when he saw Tao Xi walking with the priest on his shoulders.

The geographical location of UC Berkeley is very good. It is 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's villa was bought in Oakland, which is across the sea from the San Francisco Bay Area, because while she was going to Hollywood to film, she also went to the University of California, Berkeley to study literature.

These were arranged by Tausi, including a cameo in Star Trek 4.

I am very satisfied with these Tajana Pardis, after all, she was just a model before, and her best friend Monica Bellucci returned to Italy.

"Madam, your garden has been taken care of, and breakfast is ready for you. It's time for you to eat."

In fact, Tajana doesn't like the servants at home calling her Mrs., but these titles and habits are engraved in the bones of these Filipino servants.

She also tried changing it many times but it didn't work.

"Okay, I see. You guys should also take a break. I still have classes in the afternoon. Remember to arrange a driver for me."

Drivers, Filipino maids, luxury cars, and villas, except for these Tajana felt that she had become Tao Xi’s canary. Although Tajana Padis complained to Tao Xi many times on the phone, Tao Xi always fooled her passed.

If Tao Xi didn't come to see her again this week, she would be angry!
Tajana Pardis absent-mindedly poked the nutritious meal on the plate with the fork in her hand.

"Tsk, my little baby is eating well!"

Before Tajana Pardis heard the voice from behind, a man hugged her tightly in his arms from behind.

"ah!"

"Tausy!"

"What happened to your head!"

Tajana Padis, with flushed cheeks, asked with concern when she saw the scratches on Taosi's forehead and the tattered clothes.

Tao Xi sat on Tajana's lap and replied with a tired face: "Call Marko for me and ask him to drive an RV to pick us up for Compton."

"Are you really all right?"

Tao Xi replied with a wry smile: "I may be fine now, but if you are a little later, I may really be in trouble."

There were several people lying down in the hall downstairs, and even Augusta leaned on a sofa and fell asleep.

When Marco arrived, the entire city of Oakland was under martial law. If it wasn't for Jeffrey Kyle's call, Marco might not be able to get in.

As soon as he got out of the car, Marco saw the woman Tajana.

Marco didn't care much about his brother's private life, but after a brief communication with Tajana, he pulled a car full of people and left here.

The explosion at the Oak Grove bar and the loss of control of a Fox News helicopter made national headlines across the city of Oakland, with news organizations everywhere building up the story of the journalists who died at the scene and the helicopter crash.

But the Oakland Police Department is running around like a headless chicken.

Because their director Ke Lun was also affected by the explosion, and a small stone that was splashed out scratched his forehead.

Ke Lun fainted, but no one knew whether it was real or fake.

The whole of Oakland was looking for the cause of the explosion and the murderer who made the explosion, and Emily Dunn also rushed here from a long distance.

Since she and Barbara went to Nicaragua and Panama for two interviews, the relationship between the two has improved rapidly. Barbara used Emily's contacts, and Emily borrowed Barbara's influence on the TV station.

Emily Dunn, who had changed her outfit a long time ago, just got off the news car when a large group of investigative reporters surrounded her to report on her work.

"Our TV reporter didn't have any major issues, but according to the information collected at the scene, we found that this time the case was caused by the conflict between the police and the FBI, which resulted in an explosion caused by an out-of-control incident at the scene."

"We only know of the New York Mafia and the Cripple Gang as the gangs involved this time, and we haven't investigated the others."

Emily Dunn held a mobile phone in her hand and stared at the devastation near Oak Forest for a moment.

"Prepare for the erection of 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. The difference from the American Broadcasting and Television Station was the Fox News on the side. Because a plane lost control and caused three deaths, everyone at the scene was not in the same mood. very high.

Seeing Emily Dunn's appearance, Jane York unexpectedly came over this time.

"We can share clues, and I think the rights and interests of journalists need to be safeguarded together."

Emily Dunn squinted her eyes and took a serious look at the playboy Jane York and asked, "Don't you also know Tao Xi? You can ask him, maybe he has some clues."

Jane York shook his head helplessly: "I haven't gotten any clues from Tao Xi since you finished reporting the news about Nicaragua."

"If I say that I am the same, I don't know if you will believe it?"

"It seems that Tao Xi already has a new love, after all, the hot dog shop at the beginning 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 more.

After a night of reporting, Emily Dunn sat in the news car with red eyes and looked a little annoyed at the information fed back by the investigative reporter.

Because so far, the group of police not only has no news, but has protected the scene with a cordon, and there is no valuable news at all except for some photos taken outside.

Since Emily Dunn lost Tao Xi's help, although she has gained some momentum by virtue of her previous interviews with Barbara, she has not been able to make big news for a long time. Emily Dunn is in the company Fewer and fewer resources are available.

This time she came here to investigate the news but 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.

"Hey!"

"Heh, who offended our ABC gold medal investigative reporter!"

Emily Dunn immediately became happy when she heard the voice on the phone: "Taoxi! Where are you? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"What are you kidding! How could this incident have anything to do with me!"

Tao Xi was lying on the hospital bed and eating the loving and nutritious meal prepared by Tajana for him, and he denied it.

"I thought you had a new person, forget the old one!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with you." Tao Xi quickly explained when he saw Tajana's hands pause while feeding him bananas.

"Then why are you calling?"

"Didn't I hear that there was a big case in Oakland? It just so happened that a friend of mine picked up a detonator of explosives when passing by. I just wanted to see if you were interested."

When Emily Dunn heard Tao Xi's words, she immediately became energetic: "Tao Xi, you are indeed my most trustworthy friend."

"Well, this! Besides, my friend picked up this detonator in the water. It may not provide much help in solving the case, but I think you should be able to find a good reason to put this thing. Let us know what you have discovered."

Emily Dunn immediately understood Tao Xi's deliberately emphasized words.

"Where did you pick it up, can you tell me?"

"It was picked up at the sewer exit of Oak Forest Park in Oakland. If you are lucky, you may find some footprints there."

Taoxi, who hung up the phone, satisfactorily ate the fruit platter Tajana fed him.

"Be honest, you have a concussion, and you are still so bad"

"I had a concussion, but my hand was not concussed, so I just touched it."
