Chapter 377: Is this listening to sound to discern position?

All the surveillance footage from every stop along the route is right here—have you all finished watching it? Are you sure the same person doesn't appear in these two sets of footage?

Han Fei's words had just fallen.

Xu Mo and Li Chen then said in unison: "No."

If only one of them had made a mistake, that would be understandable, but for both of them to be wrong at the same time……that's nearly impossible!

Then could it be that there are two criminals?

"Not likely, I think it's the same person.", Xu Mo shook his head: "Making a bomb isn't something just anyone can do; bomb-making is a field of study. Moreover... you should also know the power of this bomb—those capable of making a bomb of this power are extremely rare, there aren't even a few in a whole city. Besides, taking revenge on society is different from other crimes; such people usually don't band together, they each act alone."

"That's also true......", Han Fei murmured.

But Han Fei still had a doubt: "If this person hasn't appeared consecutively twice at the bus stops, how exactly did he manage to place the bomb on the bus both times?"

Han Fei, Xu Mo, and Li Chen were all thinking about this problem.

Suddenly, the three exchanged a glance and said in unison: "Bus Terminal!"

When the buses are not in service, they all park at the same place—the Bus Terminal; if you want, you can tamper with all the buses here, even sparing yourself the trouble of waiting at roadside stops.

Earlier they had examined all the surveillance footage from every stop along the route for Bus 79 and still found no suspicious person—not because they weren't observant enough to miss the suspect.

But because the suspect never needed to go to those stops; he could tamper with those buses directly at the Bus Terminal, and compared to waiting at stops, coming straight to the Terminal is obviously a better choice—here he can handle many buses at once.

In fact, if he wanted, he could even tamper with every single Bus 79.

This way, the Bus 79 vehicles with installed bombs might not be just two; there could very well be more!

Thinking of this, Han Fei immediately pulled out his phone and called someone at the bus company.

Han Fei also just realized that urgently recalling all Bus 79 vehicles cannot stop the criminal from placing bombs on them, because the suspect very likely had already planted the timed bombs aboard the vehicles early on!

Whether the buses depart or not, an explosion will occur—it's merely a matter of when, and how many casualties there will be.

The urgent priority now is to control the situation as much as possible and prevent further casualties.

"Hello, I'm Han Fei. Tell your company's drivers and other staff: stay far away from Bus 79! The farther, the better—there's a bomb on the bus!"

"What!? A bomb on Bus 79?? Holy shit, I'm on the bus right now! Han Team, you're not lying to me, are you?" The man on the other end panicked instantly, not even finishing his sentence before he started running out like crazy.

But just then……'Boom!' 'Boom!'

A clear explosion sound came from Han Fei's phone.

Two consecutive explosions meant that another two Bus 79 vehicles had been blown up.

"Han Team, you really weren't lying—there really is a damn bomb on this bus! Scared the hell out of me……" Just as the explosion sound faded, a voice still trembling with fear came from the other end of the phone.

Han Fei: "???"

Xu Mo: "???"

Li Chen: "???"

Is this guy made of iron? He survived two consecutive blasts—unbelievable! And he can still talk!?

"You……you weren't hit by the bomb……" Li Chen asked cautiously.

"Hiss……no, I got lucky—the explosion wasn't on the Bus 79 I'm on, but on another Bus 79 several vehicle lengths away. We have many Bus 79s here; I'm fortunate I was far enough away, otherwise I'd have been done for today. I'm not saying more—I'm getting off and moving to a safe distance!"

"Remember to keep people away from Bus 79—best to stay far from all Bus 79s, as there might still be bombs on them." Han Fei didn't forget to add that reminder.

"Got it! I'll pass the word along."

"Alright, you also stay safe—remember to keep your distance, we'll be there shortly."

……

Bus Terminal.

Several Special Police officers in Explosive-Proof Suits arrived here under Han Fei's lead.

They planned to first inspect all the Bus 79 vehicles parked here to see if any still had bombs.

This is a labor-intensive task.

There are still quite a few Bus 79s parked here; they have to check them one by one, and most importantly, the officers have no idea where the bomb might be on the vehicle, so locating it will also take effort.

But they can't be slow either; they need to race against time, because a delay of even a second could cause the bomb to explode.

From the moment Xu Mo arrived at the Bus Terminal, he focused his concentration, using his ears to listen for the timed bomb's location.

His perception had been enhanced all around, making his hearing far better than an ordinary person's.

Within a certain range, Xu Mo could hear extremely faint sounds, such as a timed bomb.

With his eyes slightly closed, after focusing his attention for about a minute, Xu Mo 'heard' the locations of several bombs.

"Fourth from the left, seventh, twelfth; first from the right, fifth, ninth……"

Afterward, Xu Mo added: "The bombs shouldn't be inside the vehicles; if I heard correctly, they're all on the undercarriage—first check the bottom."

Several Special Police officers in Explosive-Proof Suits glanced at each other; eventually one of them lay down on the ground first to inspect the undercarriage of the first vehicle counted from the right.

Just as Xu Mo had said, this vehicle's undercarriage indeed had a timed bomb, visible simply by lying down.

"What he said is true! The bomb is right on the undercarriage!"

As soon as his words fell, the remaining Special Police officers in Explosive-Proof Suits likewise went to the buses Xu Mo had pointed to, lay face-up on the ground, inched their way under the vehicles, and began to dislodge the timed bombs mounted on the undercarriage.

Xu Mo's actions left Han Fei and Li Chen beside him utterly dumbfounded.

What the hell is this? Sound-based positioning!
