Chapter 212: Do You Have a Bomb in Your Pressure Cooker?
Zhang Cheng and the policewomen beside him were all looking at Li Shiqing with expectant eyes, curious about what she would say.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Shiqing opened her mouth,
"I feel like I'm in some kind of loop."
Li Shiqing cautiously watched the reactions of the two police officers in front of her.
"Loop? What do you mean? β
Zhang Cheng looked puzzled.
Li Shiqing explained,
"It's just that I'm going to be in the middle of something, you know what I mean?"
Li Shiqing expected the other party to nod.
Zhang Cheng didn't nod or shake his head, but said in a very calm tone:
"You go on."
Li Shiqing didn't know if the other party understood what she meant, so she paused and said:
"Here's the thing. I didn't have classes this afternoon and thought about going to the library, so after lunch, I waited for bus No. 45 at University City Station. I often take this bus, and I am very familiar with the driver. When I got in the car, I sat down in a double seat near the back door, with a boy by the window and I leaning into the aisle. Soon after I sat down, I felt a little sleepy and fell asleep after a while. I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the ringtone of an old-fashioned mobile phone. But as soon as I opened my eyes, the car exploded, my head hit the armrest, and then my face hurt so badly, and then I lost consciousness. β
Although it is a thing of the past, the sting feeling of being burned by the fire is still real when I think back to the scene, especially after being bombed.
Thinking of this, Li Shiqing's face turned a little pale.
"Xiao Liu, pour her a glass of water."
After Zhang Cheng instructed the policewoman beside him, he carefully observed Li Shiqing's facial expression.
Fear, nervousness, as if what she said was indeed what she had experienced.
But how is this possible?
Li Shiqing drank all the glasses of water, closed her eyes for a while, and continued:
"Then it was the second time, and when I woke up, I was still on that bus. At first I thought it was a dream, but my head hurt so much that I felt that tingling sensation all over my body. I thought I had fallen asleep, so I took my phone out and took a picture, but there were no wounds on my head or face, and there were no marks of bruises. At this time, I looked around and realized that I had been asleep for a long time, because there was no one in the car anymore. The boy next to me was still there, and he was sleeping, when the bell rang again. I don't think it's right, if it's a dream, how can I even touch the ringtone? I was feeling strange when the car exploded again. And this time is more real and unambiguous than the previous one. I was well aware that this was not a dream, it was really happening to me. β
"Li Shiqing, please cooperate with our work well, and don't waste our time by making up stories here."
The female police officer was a little angry, thinking that Li Shiqing was talking nonsense and playing with them.
Zhang Cheng gave her a look, and the female police officer restrained herself.
"I know you don't believe it, but what I say is true."
The interrogation room fell silent, and the small, enclosed space was simply suffocating.
Officer Zhang took the initiative to pour water for Li Shiqing, and Li Shiqing drank it in one gulp.
"Do you believe what I say?"
Zhang Chengji smiled,
"Next for the third time?"
Li Shiqing nodded and continued:
"When I woke up this time, I knew that something strange had happened to me, and I was scared, so I thought about getting out of the car. But no matter how much I pleaded, the driver wouldn't stop. As soon as the bell rang, it was blown up. Then came the fourth time, this time as soon as I woke up, I went straight to get the window breaker, but what I didn't expect was that the car immediately sounded the alarm, and then the car exploded. Strangely, I didn't hear that bell before this explosion. Originally, I thought that the ringtone had something to do with the explosion, but it seems that I was mistaken. β
Knock knock!
Jiang Feng came over and knocked on the door, and Zhang Cheng said to Li Shiqing:
"Wait a minute!"
Then he said to Officer Liu:
"Xiao Liu, take her to the bathroom."
Xiao Liu nodded and took Li Shiqing to the bathroom.
The two interrogation rooms were only separated by a wall, and Zhang Cheng followed Jiang Feng to the door next door and looked inside.
[The host has successfully unlocked 1 main character in the play, with a reward of 1 million, which has been issued to the bank card with a tail number of 9669]
Jiang Feng came in and showed Zeng Xian's confession record to Zhang Cheng, and the two muttered a few words, and Zeng Xian knew that Li Shiqing had told him about the cycle.
Zeng Xian estimated that Li Shiqing was because he didn't believe him, and he was holding back such a big thing in his heart, and he wanted to find someone to confide in.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, when they fall asleep, it will be cycled, and there will be a way to make her believe what she said when the time comes.
Jiang Feng told Zhang Cheng what Zeng Xian said about Wang Mengmeng, and came to the conclusion that on this point, Li Shiqing and Zeng Xian said the same.
Zhang Cheng asked Jiang Feng to instruct the people below to investigate the matter about Wang Mengmeng five years ago, and it was best to transfer the case file at that time.
After Li Shiqing came back from the bathroom, Zhang Cheng went in and continued to listen to her "story". Jiang Feng also asked Zeng Xian to take him to the toilet, and when he came back, he continued to interrogate.
Li Shiqing's side.
"How many times?"
Zhang Cheng asked.
Li Shiqing replied honestly:
"Two more times."
"Say it!"
At this time, Zhang Cheng still had zero belief in her words, how could such a ridiculous thing really exist?
"The fifth. This time, I didn't act immediately, but I was thinking about what I could do to get out of the car. At this moment, the boy next to me woke up. When he saw that I was sweating profusely, he asked me if I was feeling unwell, like taking a tissue from my bag to wipe my sweat. It's just that he accidentally touched my chest when he opened the bag, and he kept explaining and apologizing to me. His words gave me a reminder that someone tapped me on the shoulder just as I wanted to get up. I looked back and it was Ludy. He came up and asked me if I wanted to get out of the car, and from his eyes and expressions, I judged that he was the same person as me, who had entered the loop. β
"He's in the loop, too?"
Zhang Cheng was surprised.
Even if these are stories made up by Li Shiqing, this is also a story that makes people feel a little exciting.
Li Shiqing nodded and continued:
So we walked up to the driver, and I pretended to be in pain and told the driver that I had a heart attack, and the car just stopped at the intersection, and we got out of the car. But we had barely taken a few steps out of the car when it exploded. This time, Ludy was in a hurry to go to the toilet under the pretext of stomach discomfort, and the driver let us off at the intersection, which was the only way to escape. β
After Li Shiqing finished speaking, Zhang Cheng fell silent, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and after a while, he asked:
"If what you're saying is true, why do you have an explosion as soon as you wake up the first time, and the next few times it seems like time has become too much? And that ringtone, why is it only mentioned in the first three times? β
Li Shiqing paused and said:
"I also heard from Ludy that the purpose of our cycle is to save everybody. If someone dies in an explosion, we will cycle again, and each time we wake up a minute earlier than the previous one. He also said that the bomb exploded in two ways, one timed and one hand-controlled. The timer is at 13:45, and that bell means it's time. The manual control is that there is a lead on the pressure limiting valve on the lid of the pressure cooker, and it will explode when you pull it. According to his analysis, the fourth time should have been manually detonated. There was a fifth time that was a bit special, and he said that the explosion was due to my interference, which caused the bus driver to get distracted, and as a result, the bus crashed into the tanker, and it exploded. β
Zhang Cheng summed up the conclusion and said:
"So, apart from the loop, Ludy told you everything else?"
Li Shiqing nodded.
Zhang Cheng looked at the time and said:
"Got it! It's not early, if you want to eat something, I'll ask Xiao Liu to buy it for you. β
That's what it means to keep her here.
Li Shiqing asked:
"Officer Zhang, can't we go back yet? I've already told you everything I know, why can't I go? β
Gu Yan Zhang Cheng explained:
"After asking Ludy, you can go back if it's okay. Rest assured, it won't be long. β
On the other side, Zeng Xian was also telling Jiang Feng about the cycle, and Jiang Feng almost beat him.
Seeing Zhang Cheng come in, Jiang Feng's puffed up attitude eased somewhat.
"Master, they are clearly wasting our time. I don't think they can reasonably explain why they got off the bus early, so they made up a story like this to fool us. The more they are like this, the more problematic it is. β
Zhang Cheng waited for a glance at him:
"What about the evidence?"
Jiang Feng was speechless.
At this time, someone came in and whispered a few words in Zhang Cheng's ear.
After the man finished speaking, Zhang Cheng nodded, and then a person with a medicine box came in.
Zeng Xian knew they would do it.
After drawing blood, Zhang Cheng continued to ask Zeng Xian after Jiang Feng's interrogation,
"How many times have you cycled?"
"6 times!"
"6 times too?"
Zeng Xian nodded.
Zhang Cheng took the interrogation record and looked at it, and said:
"You said that Tao Yinghong was your former teacher, so why didn't you greet her after getting in the car?"
ζΎδ» says:
"She was a notoriously strict teacher when she was in school, and many of our students were afraid of her."
"She didn't recognize you either?"
"Maybe it's because I wore a mask and a hat when I got on the bus! That Officer Zhang, what is Li Shiqing doing now? β
Zhang Cheng frowned.
Li Shiqing didn't know that his name was Lu Di at first, how did he know Li Shiqing's name?
"She's eating!"
If this can't be cycled, Zeng Xian must have a lot of things that can't be explained.
"Can you bring me a meal too?"
Zeng Xian's stomach was really hungry. Coupled with such a long interrogation, it was already exhausting. If no one interfered here, he believed he would fall asleep in seconds.
"Absolutely! What do you want to eat? β
"Hmm~ Let's have a chicken thigh rice, and a bottle of ice water. Remember, don't give me the Metaverse Forest! β
Zhang Cheng motioned to Officer Ye to buy it as Zeng Xian said, and Officer Ye nodded and went out.
At this time, only Zhang Cheng and Zeng Xian were left in the interrogation room. Zhang Cheng looked at Zeng Xian with sharp eyes, and Zeng Xian looked at him the same.
After a while, Zeng Xian said:
"Officer Zhang, I know you don't believe what I say, and I wouldn't believe it. In this way, I will ask you a question now. We didn't know each other before, and we hadn't even heard of each other's names, and you and Li Shiqing were the same, right? β
"Yes!"
Zhang Cheng nodded.
"Assuming what I said is true, Li Shiqing and I will definitely cycle again. You tell me one of your secrets now, the kind of secret that outsiders don't know. When we meet again next time, will you believe me if I tell me this secret of yours? β
Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said:
"Maybe!"
Although he said that it was perhaps, Zeng Xian already knew that he would definitely believe it.
Lao Zhang is different from others, his thinking is not so limited, he dares to guess and dare to do.
"Let me ask you one more question. What would you do if someone called or texted you that there was a bomb in your car? β
Zhang Chenghao replied without hesitation:
"Of course, the police were dispatched as soon as possible and did their best to stop the explosion."
"Aren't you afraid it's a prank?"
"If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not. As long as there is the slightest possibility, we will take it seriously. β
Zeng Xian gave him a thumbs up.
Zhang Cheng's words reminded Zeng Xian of the Li family, they are all such amazing people.
"Alright, let's take a gamble. Now you tell me your phone number, and tell me another one of your secrets, the condition for entering the cycle is that Li Shiqing and I are asleep before it takes effect. So when we're done eating, don't interrogate us anymore. We'll reach out to you next time we come back. β
Zhang Cheng was also curious if what the two of them said was true, so he agreed to him and told him one of his secrets and phone number.
(7th)
Zeng Xian woke up first, and quickly walked to the front to wake up Li Shiqing.
gasped, Li Shiqing was sweating profusely. Because the movement of waking up was a bit loud, Xiao Heyun, who was sleeping next to him, also woke up.
"Excuse me?"
Li Shiqing apologized for waking people up, Xiao Heyun waved his hand, turned his head and went to sleep.
"I know you don't believe me, come here, I'll prove it to you!"
Zeng Xian pulled Li Shiqing to Tao Yinghong's side and said directly to Tao Yinghong:
"Mr. Tao, is there a bomb in your pressure cooker?"
Chirping~
The bus braked suddenly, and everyone in the bus was shocked.
Aunt Yao asked:
"What are you talking nonsense, young man?"
The car continued to start and soon reached the intersection.
The first brother of the live broadcast didn't care about whether there was really a bomb at all, but picked up his mobile phone and recorded a video on the pressure cooker.
"Eldest sister, this handsome guy actually said that there is a bomb in your pot, hahahaha~ This is the funniest cold joke I have ever heard."
Tao Yinghong watched him shoot himself with his mobile phone, not only was he not angry, but he also smiled indifferently.
The first brother thought that people agreed with what he said, and continued:
"Eldest sister, in this way, in order to prove your innocence, let's open this pot for everyone to see, we will definitely administer justice for you, and let this stinky boy apologize to you in public. Let him know that he can eat indiscriminately, but he can't talk nonsense. β
As soon as the first brother said this, Tao Yinghong really bent down and reached out to touch the pressure cooker under his knee.
However, instead of opening the lid of the pot, they pulled the pressure limiting valveΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
