Chapter 109: Battle of Wits and Courage

I hurriedly drove to the Oriental Pearl Nightclub, the crowd here has been evacuated in an orderly manner, but the criminal police are very low-key to deal with this matter, so the customers of the nightclub only know that there are criminal police here to handle the case, but they don't know that there is a bomb, otherwise the business of the Oriental Pearl will be affected in the future.

As soon as I walked into the hall, Shi Yiwen and Lei Jiaxing came up with a few subordinates, and I asked in a deep voice how the situation is now?

Lei Jiaxing said: "There is still half an hour before the time bomb detonation, and the bomb disposal experts continue to study the bomb installed on the neck of the column, but at present they have come to the conclusion that this small bomb is of a very high standard and cannot be forcibly dismantled, otherwise it will be detonated directly." But in such a short period of thirty minutes, they were not confident that they would succeed in defusing the bomb on the neck of the column, after all, this thing was very ingenious, and it was made by a master. ”

Without hesitation, I said, "Lead the way, I'm going to see the pillar." ”

Shi Yiwen, who was wearing gold-wire glasses, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop me: "Brother Chen, wait a minute." ”

I frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yiwen said with a solemn face: "Brother Chen, you said that the guy who sneaked up on the pillar, he had the opportunity to kill the pillar directly, but instead of doing it directly, he installed a time bomb on the neck of the pillar, don't you think this is a bit unreasonable?"

I frowned even more when I heard this, but Lei Jiaxing, who was beside me, said angrily: "Maybe the other party is a psychopath, he doesn't want to kill the pillar directly, he wants to let the pillar die in despair." ”

"There is such a possibility," Shi Yiwen said, holding his gold wire glasses, "but there may also be other reasons." ”

Lei Jiaxing said anxiously: "Oh, why are you still gathering the motives of the sneak attackers at this time, time is pressing, it is important to save the pillar first." ”

Shi Yiwen said: "If we figure out the other party's motives, we can know his true purpose, and if we know his real purpose, we may find an opportunity to save the pillar." ”

I felt that Shi Yiwen could detect something, so I asked, "Old Shi, what have you discovered?"

"The other party did not kill the pillar directly, but planted a time bomb on the pillar, and I was a little suspicious that his real target was not the pillar, but someone else. When Shi Yiwen said this, he paused and continued: "Originally, I couldn't figure out just now that the killer had made a timed explosive on Liu Zhuzhu's neck, and if the real target was not the pillar, who was the real target of the killer?"

Lei Jiaxing and several of his subordinates all took a breath of cold air in unison, and I was also shocked: "But how can the killer guarantee that he will be able to detonate the bomb while I am present?"

Shi Yiwen said: "I suspect that the bomb on the neck of the pillar will also have a bugging device, and there will also be a remote detonation function, the killer will confirm that you appear next to the pillar through eavesdropping, and I estimate that he will immediately detonate the bomb." ”

At this time, the two criminal policemen had already come out of it, and they probably knew that I was Lin Changan's godson, so they were very polite to me at this time, and the guy whose name was Qin Ming was written on the work card said to me: "Mr. Chen, according to Shi Yiwen's suggestion just now, the bomb disposal expert carefully studied the explosives on Liu Lianzhu's neck, and indeed found a mini bugging device on it, and confirmed that this explosive does have a third way to detonate, that is, remote sensing control." ”

I said in a deep voice, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

"Just now, the bomb disposal experts have used signal shielding equipment to block all the wireless signals in the center of the room and a radius of 10 meters, and now there is no signal on the mobile phone in the room, and the other party has no way to eavesdrop or remotely detonate the bomb. Qin Ming said: "However, the crisis has not been resolved, although the killer can't remotely detonate the bomb at this time, but if the bomb can't be disarmed in the remaining twenty minutes, it will eventually explode regularly." ”

A slightly bald male bomb disposal expert came out confused at this time: "Two lines, one red line and one black line, one of them is correct, if you cut it wrong, it will explode, and we can't tell which line to cut." This is related to the life of the hostage, so I plan to give this choice to Liu Lianzhu, we gave Liu Lianzhu a pair of scissors, and asked him to bet on luck to cut one of them, and life and death depend on fate. ”

At this moment, I saw that the criminal police and the bomb disposal team had withdrawn one after another, and immediately said angrily: "You gave up rescuing my brother?"

The bald expert said in a deep voice: "We can't help if we stay, even if the bomb disposal expert comes to cut it, it is a gamble of luck, so I will not let my colleagues make unnecessary sacrifices." ”

"Sacrifice you paralysis!"

I yelled at them, and then walked inside in a daze, and several criminal police officers tried to stop me and say that Mr. Chen was dangerous, but I was pushed away by my brute force.

In a private room in the far corner of the nightclub, Liu Zhuzhu sat on the sofa with his head hunched and a bottle of whiskey on the table, as if he was waiting for something to come. I gently pushed the door in, Liu Lianzhu raised his head slightly, and when he saw me walk in, his eyes were sad, and he showed a touch of relief: "Brother Chen, you are here." ”

"Hmm!"

I walked over to him and sat down side by side on the couch.

Liu Lianzhu looked at the empty room, and he asked in a low voice: "Are the bomb disposal experts powerless to give up on me?"

I look at the desktop scissors, this is the bald experts they left for Liu Lianzhu, I know that Liu Lianzhu's heart is more than death, the feeling of being abandoned and abandoned makes him feel even more uncomfortable, I am not very rational, I often do stupid things, Zhang Meng used to always say that I was stupid. At this moment, I turned my head to Liu Lianzhu and said in a deep voice: "Even if everyone gives up, I will not abandon you, we are brothers, brothers are brothers for a lifetime, I will stay with you to cut one of the threads, life and death together." ”

Liu Zhuzhu's eyes were wet when he heard this, but his face smiled again, he turned his head to look at me, then reached out and grabbed the whiskey on the table and poured two glasses, he picked up one cup himself, handed me another glass, and said with red eyes: "Brother Chen, it is my luck to hand over a brother like you." ”

I had a toast with him, and Liu Lianzhu seemed to have made a certain decision, he looked at me and said, "Brother Chen, if I die tonight, remember to help me take care of my mother in the future." ”

As soon as I wanted to say don't say stupid things, I stayed with him to cut the thread, and if he died, he would die together.

However, Liu Lianzhu reached out and grabbed me, dragged me to the door with force, and said loudly: "I can't let you die with me, you go out, I will face all this myself!"

I wanted to resist and stay, but Liu Lianzhu's expression was very excited at this moment, and I was afraid that when we pulled each other, I would touch the time bomb on his neck and cause it to explode directly, so I could only be pushed out by him.

Liu Lianzhu locked the door with a bang, he squatted down next to the door weakly, and couldn't resist in the face of death threats, everyone would look very powerless.

……

On the rooftop of the building opposite the Oriental Pearl Nightclub, Yin Fengfeng said to Tu Pengfei in astonishment: "Young Master Fei, there is no movement in the bugging. ”

Tu Pengfei frowned: "It is estimated that they discovered the bugging device and blocked the wireless signal, and we can't detonate it remotely now." ”

"Then it is estimated that the explosion will not kill Chen Cheng. ”

When Yin Qifeng said this, he didn't know why he felt a slight sigh of relief in his heart, Young Master Fei only called him when he first came to Huahai City, and then when he drove to pick up Young Master Fei, he learned that Tu Pengfei had already attacked Liu Lianzhu, and the target was directly aimed at me. Yin Fengfeng naturally knew that Zhang Meng was very good to me, and he didn't allow anyone to touch me, he didn't know how angry Zhang Meng would be if Zhang Meng knew that Tu Pengfei would kill me as soon as he came?

Tu Pengfei took out his mobile phone and made a call......

At this time, I had just been kicked out of the box by Liu Lianzhu, and I was anxiously about to persuade him to open the door and we would find a way to do it again, when Shi Yiwen suddenly dared to come, and he told me that a mysterious person called the nightclub bar, and it seemed that he was the killer who installed explosives on Liu Lianzhu's neck.

When I heard this, I immediately walked out and came to the bar in the hall, Qin Ming was holding the phone in his hand, and when he saw me coming out, he immediately handed me the phone: "The other party is very arrogant, he doesn't care about any of us, he just says to look for you." ”

I pulled out my phone: "Hello?"

"Chen Cheng?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"A man who wants your life. ”

I raised my eyebrows: "Your plan is very good, but it's a pity that your little plan has been revealed, and you have failed." ”

"Hehe, I didn't fail, at least I can kill your left arm and right arm!"

"Don't be happy, we still have half hope, as long as the red or black line is cut, we choose the right one, and my brother will be fine. ”

"Hehe, you don't have half a hope!"

When I heard this, I realized that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, the other party was a very conceited and arrogant fellow, I rolled my eyes twice and said, "You like to play this kind of game, you think you are very smart?"

"It should be a little smarter than you. ”

I deliberately said, "If you were who I am now, and you know this information from my current situation, which thread would you choose to cut to save your companion?"

The mystery man was silent for two seconds, then he said he wasn't me, and hung up.

Qin Ming and the others looked at me: "Is it from the killer, have you obtained useful information?" ”

I closed my eyes and replayed the other party who was with this conceited and arrogant killer just now, he seemed to have a great deal of confidence that Liu Lianzhu would not survive, and also threatened that we had no general hope, I suddenly thought, if the red line and the black line are both 50% probable, why is he so sure that we don't have half a chance?

Is there a third option?

I immediately remembered that I asked him if he would choose to cut the red line or the black line if he was me, and he finally said that he was not me, does this mean that he would not cut it?

I opened my eyes suddenly, yes, not cutting two threads is also a choice, cutting the red line is a choice, cutting the black line is also a choice, so there are actually three choices, so the killer will be so confident that we don't have a 50% chance, in fact, we only have a one-third chance.

Moreover, I deduced that no matter whether you cut the red line or the black line, the time bomb will explode, and if both lines are not cut, it may not explode!
