Jiang Zhe\u2019s utterly humiliated roar rang out from the phone and was casually ignored by Lin Chen who was handing it back to Xing Cong Lian.<\/span><\/p>

On the screen, Huang Ze was putting on the bluetooth earpiece before he picked up a high-definition camera and approached the bus.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAll of you, step back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze\u2019s voice came out from the phone. He drove away the reporters behind him.<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian held the receiver closer. \u201cInspector Huang, please be careful when you open the door. It\u2019s very likely that the suspect connected the trigger for the timed explosive to the door, so\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSo, this means there\u2019s a chance that the bomb might go off the moment I open the door?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYes\u2026.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Before Xing Cong Lian could finish, Huang Ze already opened it without hesitation, camera in hand.<\/span><\/p>

Everyone\u2019s heart was pounding.<\/span><\/p>

The door opened and the camera faithfully broadcasted the image it captured. A thin wire connected the time bomb to the door, and was hanging loose.<\/span><\/p>

The bus driver opened his mouth and frantically began to struggle in the face of this police officer\u2019s sudden appearance.<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze placed the camera on the front seat, adjusted it, and then asked, \u201cHow\u2019s the picture?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The lens was aimed at the driver\u2019s chest, the threadlike wires of the time bomb and the detonator fastened precariously over the driver\u2019s heart.<\/span><\/p>

The timer was remodelled from the simplest electronic clock display. The bright red numbers flashed non-stop, highlighting the 19 minutes and 58 seconds they had left.<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian thought for a moment, covered the receiver and turned to a nearby staff. \u201cThere must be a car workshop in the rest station. Find all types of pipe wrenches and milling tools, wash them clean with water and send it to the bus within 10 minutes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, Lin Chen pulled Xing Cong Lian aside. \u201cDidn\u2019t you say that this bomb isn\u2019t complicated? That we only needed to dismantle the initiator?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cT<\/span>hat\u2019s a <\/span>type 101 rear-mounted detonator that explodes on contact<\/span>. Removing the initiator will be like snipping the live wire; it\u2019s not completely safe. If Huang Ze is professionally trained, then the <\/span>safer method is to uninstall the safety spacer and box containing the main charge<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

On the screen, Huang Ze crouched down and patted the back of the driver\u2019s hand. Then, he leaned close to the bomb and looked at it for a while. All of a sudden, he turned to stare at the camera lens and asked, \u201cCaptain Xing, what do you think?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cPlan L or plan L.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLife or luck, fight with all you have, or fight with everything you have.\u201d Huang Ze laughed. His hair was already drenched with sweat, yet he was still laughing. \u201cIt seems like I\u2019ve always looked down on you too much, Captain Xing. Which corps were you from?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian\u2019s expression was grave, though he shared a sense of camaraderie with Huang Ze through that secret signal. \u201cI would like to ask, Inspector Huang, how quickly can you remove a detonator?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFaster than you, Captain Xing, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d Looking at the number flashing on the driver\u2019s heaving chest, Huang Ze said, \u201cI need a pipe wrench No. 3 and a set of milling tools. If they\u2019re not available, then an art knife and screwdriver will do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s being prepared.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze hummed in reply. Then, both fell into awkward silence.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Chen, who had been staring at the screen this whole time, suddenly spoke up. \u201cHuang Ze, pass the bluetooth earpiece to the driver.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat do you want to do?\u201d Huang Ze\u2019s head snapped around to stare fixedly at the camera.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMake him confess.\u201d While Lin Chen continued to observe the screen, Huang Ze\u2019s angry gaze turned to the driver. His tone was very calm and monotonous, as if he didn\u2019t care about the life and death situation that was about to occur.<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze lowered his voice. \u201cThe man is scared to death, yet you actually want to squeeze a confession out of him right now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHe holds the clues to the missing 26 children and 2 teachers.\u201d Perhaps because the screen was too bright, Lin Chen squinted a little. \u201cIf we wait, it might be too late.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

After Lin Chen finished, even Xing Cong Lian stared at him with an abstruse gaze, as if trying to convey with his eyes how inappropriate those words were for this moment.<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze rushed off the bus, continuing to keep his voice low. It seemed he didn\u2019t want the driver to overhear their conversation. \u201cThat means that if I fail and both of us get killed, it\u2019ll be too late for you to ask anything, right?\u201d He took a deep breath and said, \u201cLin Chen, you\u2019re really cold-blooded.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

In the monitoring hall, Huang Ze\u2019s accusations were heard by everyone loud and clear.<\/span><\/p>

But Lin Chen seemed to not sense the questioning eyes. His lips moved slightly and he only uttered a single syllable, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze sneered and yanked his earpiece out angrily. He stomped back to the bus and tapped the driver on the shoulder. He lowered his head to offer him some comforting words, then hung the device on the driver\u2019s ear.<\/span><\/p>

The driver seemed to be immersed in extreme panic. Once he understood what was going on, he shook his head in desperation.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMister, I hope you can calm down and answer a few questions for me.\u201d Hearing the stuttering gasps from the speaker, Lin Chen took the phone from Xing Cong Lian and spoke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, the driver reflexively turned to the camera. His mouth opened, while his body tensed and started twitching. It didn\u2019t look as though he could string together a coherent sentence.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe police officer in front of you is risking his life to save you. But right now, we have no clue on the whereabouts of the missing 28 passengers. If you can\u2019t calm down, I\u2019ll have to ask the staff to inject you with <\/span>chlorpromazine<\/a><\/strong>, commonly known as a tranquilizer that will help you calm down. You can answer my questions then.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

While Lin Chen talked, hushed whispers spread in the room. Xing Cong Lian frowned slightly but didn\u2019t look at Lin Chen again, because in the darkness, Lin Chen secretly held his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.<\/span><\/p>

Obviously, there was no such thing as chlorpromazine at the site, but needless to say, the driver didn\u2019t know this.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Chen\u2019s words miraculously calmed the driver. Gasping, he spoke between labored breaths, \u201cHelp me, please help me! I have kids…my wife is still waiting for me to go home and eat…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The driver\u2019s cries moved everyone. Some of the younger girls couldn\u2019t hold back their tears.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI would like to humbly ask, do you remember how the bus was hijacked?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAt the Mei Village rest station, when smoking, someone put a gun to my back and asked me to get on the bus, and to do as he said.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, Huang Ze took out his phone and pulled up a fuzzy surveillance video. \u201cWas it this person?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The driver looked at it and quickly nodded. \u201cYes yes, that person was a little short. He wore a grey scarf, so I didn\u2019t see his face clearly!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Chen frowned and interrupted before Huang Ze could continue. \u201cThen do you remember how he took control of the bus?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHe made me sit down and pretend to drive while he sat on the dashboard. When the children got on the bus he took out a pile of candy and distributed it to them. And when the teacher came in, he stealthily pressed his gun against the teacher\u2019s waist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThen where exactly did the children and teachers on the bus go?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe man instructed to stop the bus in the middle of the road, then he strapped a bomb on me. After that, he told me to park the bus at Lang Chuan rest station\u2019s parking lot, and he even asked me to park in lot no. 27. He said if I parked at the wrong place, the bus would explode.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Time was ticking away, but Lin Chen\u2019s questions continued.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhere was the \u2018middle of the road\u2019 you mentioned?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cPast the North exit of Yin Chuan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHow far is it from there?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAround a ten-minute drive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDo you remember what time they got off the bus?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t remember, I don\u2019t have the time to remember that! Mr. Police, why are you not doing anything yet? Time\u2019s almost up!\u201d The driver looked down to his chest, where the timer showed less than 14 minutes left.<\/span><\/p>

When Huang Ze heard this, he rushed to retrieve the earpiece.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI have one last question. Can you repeat the way he took control of the bus?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Chen repeated a question he had already asked. The low murmurs of the conversation in the hall turned into an uproar.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve already answered that question. Didn\u2019t I make it clear just now?! Why do you have to ask this again?!\u201d The driver suddenly raised his voice, now angry and irritated. He started struggling and the situation inside the bus turned uncontrollable.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLin Chen, what the hell are you doing?!\u201d Huang Ze yanked back the earpiece and shouted into the receiver.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHuang Ze, place the earpiece back to your ear and answer a few of my questions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

On the screen, Huang Ze did as he was told. Lin Chen asked again, \u201cCan you really dismantle the bomb in 13 minutes?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDo you want to hear the truth?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHow confident are you that while you\u2019re dismantling the bomb with those tools, you wouldn\u2019t accidentally trigger the bomb\u2019s detonator because of inadvertent sparks or a slight tremble?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf I have plenty of time, the success rate is about 75 to 80%.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThat is to say, now that you don\u2019t have enough time, your success rate is greatly reduced. And it\u2019s also possible that you might accidentally detonate the bomb in the process of dismantling it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou\u2019re really direct, aren\u2019t you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHuang Ze, do you trust me?\u201d Asking an irrelevant question out of the blue, Lin Chen\u2019s face was serene and pleasant.<\/span><\/p>

He asked Xing Cong Lian the same question a few months ago. Now that the target of the question changed, and because it was Huang Ze, Lin Chen couldn\u2019t guarantee that he would get the answer he anticipated.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhy would I? How can I, after you killed Wei?\u201d Huang Ze was facing the camera. With sweat running down his face, the black-haired young man enunciated every word for Lin Chen.<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian could clearly see that when Huang Ze mentioned the girl\u2019s name, a peculiar trace of emotion flashed past Lin Chen\u2019s calm face. It wasn\u2019t regret or nostalgia, but pain. It was as if a nail was piercing into his marrow, or a hammer pounded into his back. Even the most restrained and reserved person wouldn\u2019t be able to control his emotions for a moment because of a single name. As such, many people refer to this emotion as pain equal to that of <\/span>an awl boring through your heart<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

However, Lin Chen was still Lin Chen, after all. The pained expression was gone in a second. His voice was still as clear and gentle as before, unwavering. \u201cDo you see the red live wire that fixes the driver to the seat? When the tools are delivered to you, please cut it directly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
