There was a loud bang and time went back to the past.
On bus No. 45, the familiar announcement sounded again.
"The stop ahead is Gangwu Xincun Station. Passengers getting off the bus should be prepared in advance and get off through the back door."
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Jie and Li Shiqing couldn't help but look at each other silently. In their eyes, one was full of doubts, and the other was full of shock.
The confusion belongs to Li Jie, and the shock belongs to Li Shiqing.
laugh!
The bus door slowly opened.
Ahead, Auntie Guo and Jiao Xiangrong got into the car from the front door one after another.
At this moment, Li Shiqing was still in a daze, and then she felt herself being pulled up.
Li Jie woke up quickly. As soon as he saw the time loop arriving at Gangwu Xincun Station, he pulled Li Shiqing out of the car without saying a word.
The explosion just now was so strange.
Due to the stability of TNT, it will never explode due to impact.
Apparently, the bomb was detonated artificially.
At that time, Aunt Guo had been knocked unconscious by him. Li Jie knew very well that with the force with which he knocked Aunt Guo unconscious, the other party would never have the chance to detonate the bomb.
The bomb may have been detonated by the bus driver Wang Xingde, or it may have been detonated by the person hiding in the dark.
In the last cycle, Li Jie confirmed the source of the bomb. According to the shape of the bomb, it was most likely from Southeast Asia.
Although the specific country of production cannot be confirmed, the fact that it comes from Southeast Asia is enough for Li Jie to speculate on a lot of things.
His primary target of suspicion was the Military Intelligence Agency across the sea.
The situation on the other side of the sea is no longer what it was ten years ago. Sun Chuanwu has reached the age of retirement, and the new director is an extremely powerful person.
If the other party really notices something unusual about him, with the new director's temperament, he is likely to sneakily shoot him.
When performing some sensitive tasks, the Military Intelligence Agency particularly likes to 'purchase' goods from Southeast Asia, and then simply modify the goods. After the modification is completed, they can be used to 'shoot against blackmail'.
Compared with East Asia, South Asia, West Asia and other places, the situation in Southeast Asia is more complicated. It is difficult to trace the specific source of goods purchased from there.
Li Jie's secondary target of suspicion is a person who has disappeared for a long time.
Hsinchu, that is, Lin Li!
Although Lin Li disappeared for several years, Li Jie never forgot this person's existence.
This man must retaliate. He had made him suffer so much. How could Lin Li just disappear into the sea of people?
Over the years, he has been tracking Lin Li's whereabouts through other channels, but unfortunately he has achieved little success.
Lin Li disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the world.
On the other side, Wang Xingde saw Li Shiqing being led out of the car, and the guilt in his heart subsided a little.
The little girl was so young and kind. It would be a pity if she was killed by the bomb.
laugh!
The bus door slowly closed again. Looking at the bus slowly starting, Li Shiqing just woke up from a dream.
She looked at Li Jie with a puzzled expression, her big eyes full of doubts.
"Professor, are we just going to get off the bus?"
"There's something wrong with that bomb."
Li Jie explained a little: "TNT explosives are very stable and will not explode even if they are hit hard. I clearly controlled Tao Yinghong just now."
"But the bomb went off anyway."
"So, I suspect there is a third party involved in this bombing."
"If we don't find the person behind it, even if we restrain Tao Yinghong and Wang Xingde, we can't stop the explosion."
Li Shiqing nodded thoughtfully. She didn't quite understand how bombs explode, but she knew a little.
The professor wouldn't lie to her, especially on such a serious matter.
Although the two of them didn't get along for a long time, Li Shiqing knew that the professor would not lie to her.
Don't ask why, it's just a woman's intuition.
After explaining the reason for getting out of the car, Li Jie immediately took out his mobile phone and called Duan Yingjiu.
beep!
beep!
After the call was connected, he got straight to the point.
"Lao Duan, there is a bomb on the No. 45 bus."
"The bomb is a highly potent military TNT. As expected, it can explode remotely."
On the other end of the phone, Duan Yingjiu was directly confused by the news.
Is there a bomb on the No. 45 bus?
"Bus No. 45 has just left Gangwu Xincun Station. It is now 1:18. If there is no human intervention, the bomb will most likely explode at 1:45."
"We don't have much time left."
Duan Yingjiu glanced at the time subconsciously when she heard this, and then she immediately couldn't sit still.
The responsibilities of the National Security Bureau are mainly to engage in counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence and political protection work. Dropping bombs on buses can also be regarded as a terrorist attack in a certain sense.
Such criminal acts fall within the jurisdiction of the national security.
And this is exactly Li Jie's plan. He is more familiar with Guoan than the Xiazhou Municipal Bureau.
People in the city bureau don't believe some of the words, but some people on the National Security side do.
For example, if he told Duan Yingjiu about the cycle, Li Jie believed that no matter how unbelievable it was, Duan would not think he was talking nonsense.
This is trust!
"Lao Li, wait a moment, I will report to my superiors immediately."
After saying that, Duan Yingjiu immediately ran towards Wang Yang's office at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
The team members in the office looked at each other in shock when they saw this scene.
After hanging up the phone, Li Jie glanced at Li Shiqing beside him and said with a smile.
"We just need to wait here."
As expected, Duan Yingjiu appeared at Gangwu Xincun Station in less than ten minutes.
"Lao Li, get in the car!"
Duan Yingjiu lowered the window and waved his hand.
After getting in the car, Li Jie asked Duan Yingjiu.
"Is everything arranged?"
"Um."
Duan Yingjiu nodded. Counter-terrorism was not within her jurisdiction, so she did not go directly to the scene. Instead, she chose to come to Gangwu New Village to pick up Li Jie.
"Lao Li, how did you know about the bomb?"
Hearing this question, Li Shiqing's heart suddenly tightened. In the last cycle, she failed to withstand the pressure and exposed the cycle.
"Because of the cycle."
Li Jie directly talked about the cycle.
"cycle?"
Duan Yingjiu was very confused when he heard this word.
Li Jie smiled helplessly: "Speaking of it, this incident is indeed a bit bizarre. If I hadn't personally experienced it, I wouldn't believe it."
Immediately, Li Jie told everything about the cycle without reservation.
Although Duan Yingjiu trusted Li Jie, her first reaction when she heard such a thing for the first time was still disbelief.
"Lao Li, are you kidding me?"
Li Jie said with a serious expression on his face.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"This is real?"
Duan Yingjiu asked for confirmation again.
"certainly."
After hearing these extremely confident words, Duan Yingjiu was silent for a long, long time.
