"I'm fine!" Huo Beijiang gathered his thoughts and took the white gloves passed to him by the staff, joining two others in exploring the scene.
He examined the scene meticulously, employing his own set of experienced methods, which differed significantly from the police's approach.
The police car itself was wrecked by the impact, with a third of it thrown out before an explosion turned everything charred and black. Forensic and evidence technicians were lifting the charred remains of the deceased from the car.
Onto a white cloth on the ground.
Huo Beijiang had already surveyed the interior of the car before the explosion; both the driver and Jing Tong were dead on the scene. Another plainclothes officer was barely breathing, and thanks to the quickly extinguished flames, the three bodies could still be recognized when laid together.
