Chapter 379: You

The bomb was defused, the crisis averted, and the Special Police Captain looked toward Xu Mo in the distance, thinking this youngster was rather interesting…

First, by listening to the sounds he identified the locations of the Timed Bombs, helping them find all the Timed Bombs in the shortest possible time.

Then he also indicated the defusing method; according to Xu Mo, he cut both the blue and yellow wires simultaneously, and the bomb actually didn't explode—what an expert!

At the same time, Han Fei unusually shouted at Xu Mo.

"What were you running over for just now? Didn't you know it was dangerous? What if you made a mistake? Aren't you just causing trouble for others!"

This time Xu Mo was too reckless; they were defusing the bomb, and he suddenly ran over—how dangerous is that? If something happened, who would be responsible?

That's just Xu Mo; if it had been another officer, Han Fei might already have started lecturing him by now.

Seeing the scene, the Special Police Captain quickly took the already defused Timed Bomb and walked over toward Han Fei.

Before anyone arrived, he first explained something to Xu Mo.

"Han Team, Han Team, calm down, you wrongly blamed Xu Mo. He wasn't causing trouble just now; if it weren't for him, I really couldn't have defused this bomb."

Hearing this, Han Fei looked puzzled: "Huh? You couldn't have defused the bomb without him? What does that mean?"

"What I mean is, the way to defuse the bomb is exactly what Xu Mo ran over and told me. If it weren't for Xu Mo, this Timed Bomb would have exploded by now. He wasn't causing trouble; he actually did me a huge favor."

That's not nonsense; if it hadn't been Xu Mo just now, the bomb would definitely have exploded, because the Special Police Captain had been looking for a while and couldn't figure out how to defuse this Timed Bomb.

Even if the Special Police Captain had thrown the bomb out before it exploded, he would still be injured by the blast wave; he might survive, but the shock would be enough to keep him in the hospital for a couple of months.

The defusing method was taught by Xu Mo!?

Han Fei was dumbfounded.

He realized he was understanding Xu Mo less and less.

How many skills does Xu Mo actually have? It feels like there's nothing he can't do.

Being able to accurately locate a Timed Bomb by ear is one thing; it can be said that Xu Mo's hearing is probably far better than an ordinary person's, which is just an innate advantage.

But what the heck is commanding a defusal? And he's even commanding the Special Police Captain to defuse! You have to know, they're the professionals! If Xu Mo can command a professional, doesn't that imply… that Xu Mo is actually more professional than the Special Police Captain?

Han Fei glanced at Xu Mo beside him, then at the Special Police Captain holding the bomb.

"Xu Mo, well done…"

Xu Mo: "…"

Just a second ago you said I was causing trouble, and now you flip your attitude so fast!

That means the Special Police Captain doesn't know that Xu Mo's martial arts and marksmanship are outstanding, the kind that's one in ten thousand; otherwise he'd probably have snatched Xu Mo away from Han Fei on the spot.

The Special Police Captain smiled and shook the Timed Bomb in his hand, which had been opened and would not explode for now.

"I'll go handle this bomb, and leave the rest to you."

"Oh right," he said, then looked at Xu Mo: "Thanks."

After speaking, he left, rejoining his own team.

At this moment the other Special Police had just placed the bomb into the Explosion-proof Container on the vehicle and locked it, then turned back to check the captain's side.

One side came, the other went, and the two sides just crossed paths.

Seeing the bomb in the captain's hand had stopped counting down, the Special Police officers realized the captain had already defused the bomb.

"I told you our captain has good fortune, and sure enough he handled the bomb."

"Impressive, Captain, you defused the bomb in three minutes!"

"You're awesome, Captain, you're my god!"

"Alright, alright, stop the flattery. Even though it's solved, I didn't do it; the bomb almost went off just now, thanks to Xu Mo… If he hadn't told me the defusing method at the crucial moment, the bomb might have exploded by now."

"Xu Mo? The guy who just identified the bomb's location?"

"Yes, that's him. This kid's quite interesting, actually a talent," the captain smiled, then continued: "That side is already taken care of, the rest doesn't concern us. How about your side—are the bombs secured?"

"Don't worry, Captain, those bombs have already been packed into the Explosion-proof Containers."

An Explosion-proof Container is a thick metal vessel made of high‑strength, ultra‑impact‑resistant special steel plates; it can withstand a certain amount of TNT blast energy and contain the resulting fragments, preventing the shockwave and shrapnel from spreading and harming people. Placing the Timed Bombs inside means that even if they explode, no splash or wave is produced.

…

On the other side.

After the risk of the Timed Bombs harming people was resolved, the officers began investigating the source of these Timed Bombs.

The Bus Terminal has many surveillance cameras, and with the help of staff there, the officers started reviewing the footage.

In the surveillance video, they saw this scene.

Last night, a man with a backpack and odd clothing climbed over the fence into the Bus Terminal; he stayed inside for a long time, and the cameras captured him slipping under the chassis of several buses.

Since the Timed Bombs were all found under bus chassis, it's clear the bombs were placed by him.

"Sneaky, it must be this kid who placed the bombs; the pack he's carrying is most likely full of Timed Bombs," Li Chen said, pointing at the footage.

The others had no objections; his actions were so obvious, he didn't even try to avoid the cameras, coming in plain sight.

It's worth noting that after this man finished planting all the Timed Bombs under the bus chassis, he even flashed a Scissor Hand at the camera.

He even dared to flash the Scissor Hand! As if he were afraid the officers wouldn't catch him!

"That's the guy—match his facial data and find him; I want to see him within an hour!" Han Fei was enraged.

In his whole career, he truly had never seen anyone so brazen.

Planting bombs on buses is one thing, but openly taunting the cameras like that?

Do they really think police just eat dry rice?
