Chapter 40: Sensationalism
A bomb was found in a men's cubicle in a shopping mall.
There are five compartments in the bathroom, the bomb is in the fourth, and the fifth compartment is locked with a maintenance sign on it.
The squatting toilet is clasped with a cardboard box, which has been soaked in water and will tip at any time.
In the process of EOD, basically all accidents occurred because of the police in the process of identifying the bomb. The police had no way to directly observe the bomb and thus accidentally triggered the detonating device. Place.
An EOD team member slowly stepped forward, lifted the tool bag on his thigh, and took out a mobile phone-like object, which was a police portable X-ray machine, which was used by EOD team members to observe bombs placed in backpacks, cardboard boxes, etc., which could not be directly observed.
Now the EOD team members need to confirm whether the carton will detonate the bomb.
After a portable X-ray machine, the EOD team members could clearly see the contents of the cardboard box.
It is a rectangular black object containing explosives, and a circular alarm clock is placed on top of the bomb.
The EOD team did not find any connection between the bomb and the cardboard box.
After confirming that the carton would not detonate the bomb when it was removed, the EOD team members slowly held the carton steady and lifted it in a very stable manner.
Finally, the EOD team members saw the full extent of the bomb under the cardboard box.
Preliminary observation shows that the bomb is a time bomb, and the main body of the bomb is connected by eight brown tubes placed side by side, distributed in two layers.
There was no way to accommodate two team members in thick blast suits in the small toilet cubicle, so the bomb could only be defused by one person.
It's a time bomb, and it's an alarm clock used as a detonator. The time bomb is one of the most common and primitive bombs.
It is also the easiest bomb to defuse for EOD squads.
Either destroy the bomb trunk road, or destroy the alarm clock on it, and it can be dismantled.
But it's not as simple as buttoning the alarm clock battery and fiddling with the alarm clock hands.
In order to prevent this time bomb from detonating a second way, the EOD team members chose the bomb disposal method of destroying the main road of the bomb, which is indeed the safest way.
In this bomb disposal operation, the EOD team members are full of confidence, and they have already defused many bombs like this.
The EOD team members carefully observed the distribution of the circuits on it, but the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, because the circuits on the bomb were disorganized and completely unreasonable, and the connection between the wires had caused a short circuit that he had learned in junior high school physics.
That is, if you follow this circuit distribution, the bomb simply cannot be detonated.
"How?" The EOD team member standing outside the cubicle asked softly, standing on tiptoe.
"I don't know, the circuit is weird, there are a lot of interfering circuits." The EOD team member said seriously with a very solemn expression.
Once there is an interfering circuit on the bomb, the difficulty of defusing the bomb will increase exponentially.
Normally, you only need to cut the right one to dismantle.
Moreover, the interference circuit is not a simple interference term, once the cut is wrong, the circuit will be reflowed, and an explosion will occur immediately.
"It's so weird...... "The more the EOD team looked, the more they felt that something was wrong.
"If it can't be dismantled, take it away from the scene, and use the method of outdoor detonation, can you judge the composition of the explosives? How powerful is it? The EOD team member outside the cell asked nervously.
"Explosives ingredients...... It's like gunpowder, and it's powerful...... No, it's not a bomb! As he spoke, the EOD team suddenly made a somewhat startled voice.
This sound made the EOD team members outside the compartment even more nervous, he had no way to see the whole bomb, let alone understand the process of defusing it.
He hurriedly asked, "Not a bomb?" What is that?! ”
"Like...... It's firecrackers......" said the EOD member weakly.
"What? Firecrackers?! ”
The EOD team members outside the cell also squeezed forward, standing on tiptoe to look.
I saw that the EOD team members who were doing bomb disposal operations in the compartment took out sharp-billed crocodile pliers, gently clamped a blue wire, and with a slight force, the blue wire fell off directly from one end of the bomb body, and even brought out a little black gunpowder.
With this phenomenon, the EOD team member strengthened his inner thoughts, and he used the sharp-billed crocodile pliers to gently grasp another blue wire, and with a slight force in his hand, the blue wire fell off the bomb body again.
Next, one by one, until all the wires are completely removed from the bomb body.
The EOD team let out a long breath and sat directly on the waterlogged ground, and their movements became bold, and the world grabbed the bomb with his hand and took it in his hand to observe it carefully.
The more they observed, the more the EOD team members felt that the bomb was very crudely made, completely wrapped in duct tape and wires.
And the main body of this bomb is not a bomb at all, it is clearly a firecracker, and it is half a fireflower.
That's right, it's the most common kind of firecracker salute.
"Pull-pop-bang-la-" kind of flowers.
"This is the EOD squad, the danger has been lifted, it's not a bomb, it's a firecracker, it's a prank." The EOD team members communicated the situation on the scene through the intercom.
At this moment, a cough suddenly came from the fifth compartment next door with the sign "Under Maintenance".
The sudden cough startled the two EOD team members.
"Who?!" The two of them immediately became alert.
The next second, a cough came from the compartment.
The EOD team immediately conveyed the situation through the intercom, and at the same time issued a stern voice: "Who?!" Come out on your own! ”
I saw the toilet door next door slowly open, and a man walked out.
The man looked very thin, carrying a canvas bag crossbody, and his hair full of oil and dandruff clung to his scalp.
He looked at the two EOD team members wearing thick blast suits, and his eyes were extremely excited.
When I heard the news from the EOD team, I rushed into the bathroom with the criminal police at the scene.
It is said that only cough and love in the world cannot be hidden, and now I believe it.
If he hadn't coughed suddenly, who would have thought that there was a man hiding next door?!
"You ......"
I stared at the man with a pair of eyes, and was about to ask, when the man's feet suddenly jumped off the ground in excitement.
He shouted, "I put it!" I put it! What do you think?! Scared you, huh?! I'm amazing, right?! ”
"Scare you...... A...... "When I saw the man going crazy, I was so angry that the swear words came to my lips and I swallowed them back raw.
Some waved his hand helplessly: "Hurry up and take it away!" ”
We walked out of the mall with the man, and the reporters who were waiting at the scene immediately began to continue the live broadcast work.
After seeing the reporter, the man became even more excited.
He broke free from the control of the criminal police, stretched his neck hard, and the whole person was jumping hard.
"It's me! That's me! Hurry up, hurry up! Take a picture of me! Take a close-up of me! Mother! I'm on TV! Wife! I'm going to be on fire! Take a picture of me! The man shouted.
I once wondered if the door lock of a psychiatric hospital in Ningzhou City was broken, how did such a thing come out?!
But this situation is something I have thought of a long time ago, because every time the limelight is tight, there will always be one or two stinky fish and rotten shrimp jumping out to sensationalize.
As my readers say, it's a cure!
