\u201cWasn\u2019t that awesome or what!\u201d<\/p>

Wang Chao slapped the pause button, and the picture froze on the young man blowing a kiss at the screen.<\/p>

The young technician exclaimed excitedly and, to no one\u2019s surprise, received a KO from his captain.<\/p>

\u201cYou think this is interesting?\u201d Cong Lian asked, staring at the young man in the video.<\/p>

\u201cHijacking a bus just to rob candy. It\u2019s not just creative, it\u2019s too creative\u2026\u201d Wang Chao continued blabbering but noticed the atmosphere wasn\u2019t right. He looked up to see Xing Cong Lian\u2019s livid expression, \u201cBoss, don\u2019t be so serious. No one was injured, it\u2019s cool, yeah?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNo one was hurt? It\u2019s lucky no one was hurt!\u201d Cong Lian took over the mouse and dragged the cursor over the duration bar to pause at the moment the young man shot the gun. \u201cEver thought that if he missed or if the bullet ricocheted, someone might have been killed?!\u201d<\/p>

On-screen, the young man\u2019s hand was steady as a rock.<\/p>

Only people in certain parts of society would have that kind of experience handling guns. This young man had to be involved with that world.<\/p>

The passengers on the bus might not have noticed, but it was clear to them that the young man\u2019s gaze never left the surveillance camera since he raised his gun.<\/p>

He was looking at the camera\u2014\u2014at the people monitoring them.<\/p>

At this lecture, Wang Chao didn\u2019t argue and could only drink his tea, gulping down most of it. Fortunately, the icon at the lower right on his taskbar flickered and inadvertently saved him. He clicked open the chat and found the latest pictures of the crime scene sent by the survey team.<\/p>

The pictures showed the bullets from the hijacking.<\/p>

Cong Lian leaned over and took a look. \u201cAnother 9mm revolver?\u201d<\/p>

Wang Chao pulled up the video again and enlarged the young man\u2019s gun.<\/p>

\u201cLooks like the same one.\u201d Wang Chao gritted his teeth. \u201cThis is so strange, ah. Is there something wrong with that little bastard? Do we need to consult an expert?\u201d he asked, tentative.<\/p>

Since Lin Chen had fallen into the river, the police\u2019s actual psychological consultant went on to be a visiting scholar<\/a> at the provincial university because he couldn\u2019t handle the blow.<\/p>

The psychological consultant post was vacant, and to fill that vacancy, their superiors appointed another expert who was said to be a new star in criminal psychology.<\/p>

Cong Lian stared at Wang Chao. \u201cAre you telling me to go see that afro-head?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHe called me hyperactive<\/a>, and I didn\u2019t know what it meant at the time.\u201d Wang Chao slapped the table, furious. \u201cI checked it when I got home, and guess what? He said I have ADHD<\/a>, how could Laozi have ADHD?\u201d<\/p>

He leaned back in his chair angrily, playing with a pen in one hand, and swatted ashes off Cong Lian\u2019s shoulder with the other. Pinching the soot, he asked, \u201cDid you visit Lin Chen\u2019s grave again?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cCan you concentrate when trash-talking someone behind their back?\u201d Xing Cong Lian stood up awkwardly and brushed the ashes from Wang Chao\u2019s hand.<\/p>

It had been quite a while since Lin Chen fell into the river, and it seemed like the man had never lived in this city. He occasionally visited Lin Chen\u2019s grave and stayed for a while, mostly when he had strange or complicated cases and no clues.<\/p>

This serial robbery case was one of them. Stranger than even Feng Pei Lin\u2019s case. A criminal with a gun that rubbed buses on the highway, highly skilled, and could control the situation inside within thirty seconds. The funny thing was, he did it all just for candy.<\/p>

The young man was lively and colorful, like skittles. The media even gave him the nickname \u201cCandy Robber.\u201d Children liked him, and girls were starting to admire him. Even the victimized bus company\u2019s business only got better because of it. The only thing seemed to be a group playing the public.<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian felt uneasy, but he couldn\u2019t tell where the feeling came from. He couldn\u2019t shake the feeling this case was like dismantling a bomb. Cut a single wire wrong, and it would explode in a heartbeat.<\/p>

He shook his wet hands, damp from the sweat of the cold ice tea\u2019s cup, and prepared to leave.<\/p>

Coincidentally, his vision was blurry, and the thought of Lin Chen was nowhere in mind.<\/p>

But, when his eyes aimlessly passed over the computer screen, he noticed a man in the backseat, and his heart started to beat out of control.<\/p>

The man sat on the aisle side wearing a black cap and looked as if he was asleep. But to Cong Lian, it was obvious he wasn\u2019t.<\/p>

Because just before the young criminal took out the gun, the man had looked up to stare at the youth\u2019s back.<\/p>

It was very small, but it also demonstrated his sharpness.<\/p>

Even in 0.1 seconds, a prediction was still a prediction.<\/p>

This proved it wasn\u2019t a coincidence, but that didn\u2019t matter. What mattered was that Cong Lian was very familiar with the man\u2019s face.<\/p>

Though it was a black-and-white surveillance video with low pixel count, and even with just one eye visible, Cong Lian could recognize him anywhere.<\/p>

That was Lin Chen.<\/p>

He pressed a key, and the video paused. The picture was somewhat blurred due to the excessive whiteness. Cong Lian circled the face with his finger.<\/p>

The technician stared at the screen for a while and asked, \u201cBoss, you mean there\u2019s an accomplice on the bus?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThis is Lin Chen!\u201d<\/p>

Wang Chao immediately took a screenshot and enlarged the picture. But, even if the pixels were enlarged to the size of a nail, he couldn\u2019t connect the person in the video with Lin Chen.<\/p>

Therefore, he could only look back at Cong Lian and solemnly say, staring at him, \u201cBoss, I think that expert is right. You should go to the hospital for a checkup.\u201d<\/p>

The older man swatted the back of his head.<\/p>

The technician held his head, crying without tears.\u2014<\/p>

\u2014\u2014<\/p>

No matter how many times the police watched the video, the hijacker still dashed into the field of reeds and disappeared. The rescued passengers were sent to the nearest R&R station to eat a simple meal and wait to record their testimonies.<\/p>

The food court was a bit on the cold side.<\/p>

So most of the passengers sat by the French windows and basked in the sun. They chatted with each other and didn\u2019t seem to be in a panic about the hijacking at all.<\/p>

Near the back of the crowd, a young man took off his scarf and draped it on an old lady with heavy luggage.<\/p>

The old lady seemed happy to have such a good looking young man beside her. She touched the scarf around her neck and pulled an orange from her luggage and placed it in his hand.<\/p>

The orange was cold.<\/p>

If Wang Chao were there, he would have knelt and swallowed the words he said earlier.<\/p>

This was Lin Chen. The one whose body couldn\u2019t be recovered after falling into the river with Feng Pei Lin.<\/p>

Lin Chen gripped the cold orange and looked at the entrance casually.<\/p>

For the first time, he felt his fortune wasn\u2019t that good.<\/p>

Having deceived people, even friends concerned for you, by pretending to die, you\u2019d be terrified to see them again.<\/p>

Maybe, in a vast sea of people, you\u2019d meet again. Perhaps, that was the best reunion one could have.<\/p>

However, meeting under the circumstances of a robber hijacking a bus on a highway under said friend\u2019s jurisdiction was nowhere close to ideal.<\/p>

This setting was too far-fetched.<\/p>

Fate was heartless.<\/p>

\u2014\u2014<\/p>

Someone else also lamented the ruthlessness of fate. The mixed-blooded police officer who had spent half a year in misery.<\/p>

\u201cTell the brothers to rest at the R&R station. The police will arrange transportation for them. Remember, before I get there, no one, absolutely no one, is allowed to leave,\u201d Cong Lian fired off his orders in rapid succession.<\/p>

He turned, about to leave, but someone pushed in the door before he could pull it and stepped inside.<\/p>

It was an elite-looking corporate man in a knee-length camel-colored trench coat with a smoky plaid scarf around his neck. He shook hands with Xing Cong Lian and took out a gold-embossed business card. He handed it over with both hands. \u201cYang Dian Feng, manager of Tu An Intercity Bus Company\u2019s head office.\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian had dealt with the public relations department of the Tu An Company several times because of this serial hijacking case. These stubborn people were uncooperative with the investigation, so Cong Lian glanced at the card and sat on his desk, lighting up a cigarette as he asked impatiently, \u201cYes, what is it, Manager Yang.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cSorry to trouble you, Captain Xing, but it\u2019s about the case on the Hong Jing Highway.\u201d<\/p>

At this business-like tone, Xing Cong Lian inhaled and puffed out a ring of smoke. \u201cIn fact, you guys seem quite happy.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhy do you say that, Captain?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThis bus hijacker, it\u2019s comparable to a prime-time ad.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cSo, in Captain Xing\u2019s opinion, this serial robbery is our company\u2019s doing?\u201d<\/p>

Yang Dian Feng\u2019s scarf had a trademark printed on it, which showed it belonged to a limited exclusive product line from a high-end store. This one scarf alone was worth half a year of Xing Cong Lian\u2019s wage.<\/p>

\u201cHow could I,\u201d Cong Lian replied absent-mindedly.<\/p>

\u201cCaptain, you think this is a marketing plan for business. This kind of marketing is not cost-effective and puts us at great risk just to increase our market price by a mere few percent.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cManager Yang came to see me just to say this?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m actually here to provide a clue.\u201d Yang Dian Feng took out a silver notebook from his briefcase. \u201cAll our buses are equipped with autonomic call systems based on GIS<\/a> and MEMS<\/a> accelerometers. Today, the installed computer on the A7645 bus was taken by the hijacker, but we\u2019ve discovered the signal hasn\u2019t disappeared.\u201d<\/p>

Wang Chao stood and abruptly took the device from Yang Dian Feng. He worked on it for a while then suddenly said, \u201cBoss, Heping North Road, heading south.\u201d<\/p>

Yang Dian Feng leaned back in his chair with his arms folded over his chest. He raised his eyebrows, smiling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
