Xu Mo had originally planned to take the yacht out to sea after completing the handover, and perhaps even "pick up" an aircraft carrier to hand over directly.
However, the timing was unfortunate. Ram City suddenly began to rain, and the sea was also windy. Going out to sea in such weather was clearly not a wise decision.
Xu Mo simply gave up on the idea and drove the four women home after the handover.
"What bad luck, it's raining. I even brought my swimsuit."
"It's okay, we can just find a good weather day next time and ask Xu Mo to take us. We have plenty of opportunities."
"Exactly! Since we bought the yacht, not rented it, we have all the time in the world. We can just pick a better day next time."
"..."
On the way, the four women were lamenting the fact that they couldn't take the yacht out to sea for a ride.
But then, a loud noise came from ahead.
"Boom!"
About a hundred meters in front of them, a No. 79 bus suddenly exploded violently. The shockwave from the explosion also affected all the private cars around the bus.
In an instant, the traffic was paralyzed. The exploded bus and the several private cars around it caught fire. Fortunately, it was raining at the time, which, although not enough to extinguish the fire, at least helped to contain the flames. Otherwise, if the fire had grown larger, a secondary explosion could have occurred at any moment.
The shattered window glass from the explosion also injured many unprotected pedestrians.
"Ah!!!" Screams erupted from the crowd as people scrambled to leave the scene, which was now in complete chaos.
Just from the scene, it was easy to guess that the number of casualties would be significant...
In the car, the four women were in a state of shock.
Luckily, they were in the car, protected by it, so they weren't injured by the flying shards of glass. And luckily, they were far enough away from the bus, otherwise, the explosion would have definitely affected them.
"Xu Mo... do you think this could be terrorists retaliating against society?" Yang Jingxuan asked tremblingly.
"Definitely. There was no warning before the explosion. It couldn't have been caused by the bus catching fire on its own. It must have been intentional," Xu Mo said, pulling out his phone and calling Han Fei.
The first call went unanswered, so Xu Mo dialed again.
"Dud... dud... dud..."
After a long series of rings, the call was finally picked up.
On the other end, Han Fei's voice sounded a bit frantic: "Hello, what is it?"
"I'm on Unity Road. A No. 79 bus just exploded. I was behind it not far away and witnessed the explosion. It doesn't look like it was caused by the bus catching fire; it seems more like there was a bomb on the bus."
"No. 79... why is it always the No. 79 bus being blown up?" Han Fei was frustrated, rubbing his head vigorously.
No. 79, again the No. 79 bus.
Earlier that morning, the police station had received a report that a No. 79 bus had exploded while in transit.
After receiving the report, the police immediately began investigating. They found chemical substances among the explosion debris, confirming that the explosion was intentional, but they hadn't been able to identify who was responsible.
They had been busy all day, and by the evening, they still hadn't fully figured out the cause of the morning's explosion. And now, another No. 79 bus had exploded.
"Again? Why do you say 'again'?" Xu Mo was puzzled. "Isn't this the first No. 79 bus to explode?"
"No, it's not the first. Earlier today, when you guys just arrived at Baiyun Airport, a No. 79 bus exploded. This one is the second... Where are you now? I'll bring some people over."
"I'm on Unity Road."
...
When Han Fei arrived with the police, the exploded No. 79 bus and the several cars around it that had been set on fire were already reduced to blackened skeletons. By then, the rain had also stopped.
As for the passengers on the bus, they had already lost any chance of survival in the initial violent explosion.
"What kind of madman did this? Is he crazy?" Li Chen couldn't help but curse when he saw the blackened remains of the bus.
"Haven't you found out who did it?" Xu Mo asked instinctively.
Han Fei's expression was grim as he shook his head. "No, the bus's surveillance was destroyed in the explosion, so we can't use it. The surveillance from the bus stops along the route is too blurry to identify any suspects..."
At this point, Han Fei changed the subject.
"But both exploded buses are No. 79s, so we can assume it's the same person. We can try comparing the footage from the surveillance cameras at the stops the buses passed through. The person who got on the bus before both explosions is likely the bomber."
Previously, they hadn't found anything because they only had one surveillance video, making it difficult to investigate.
The bus's surveillance was destroyed in the explosion, so they couldn't check it. The only surveillance they had were the cameras at the bus stops along the route, but these were too blurry, and there were even people who weren't captured clearly. It was hard to find the suspect, and there were many people whose identities couldn't even be confirmed.
But now, the police had not just one surveillance video, but two.
Since this person had blown up two No. 79 buses, they must have been captured by the surveillance cameras at the bus stops twice.
Finding someone who appeared in both surveillance videos was easier than trying to identify a suspect from a single video.
A few police officers were left behind to disperse the crowd and clean up the scene, while Han Fei took the rest back to the police station to review the surveillance footage. He also notified the bus company to stop all No. 79 buses to prevent further incidents.
As for Xu Mo, he took a detour to drop the four women off at home before returning to the police station to help.
At the police station, Xu Mo found the officers frowning as they reviewed the surveillance footage.
Clearly, the investigation wasn't going smoothly, as they hadn't found any leads from the footage.
But Xu Mo still asked, "Any luck? Found anything?"
"No," Li Chen shook his head. "We've watched it twice, and there's no suspicious person. You can take a look too."
Hearing this, Xu Mo stepped forward to compare the two surveillance videos, but he also didn't find the same person in both.
"Did you find anything?" Li Chen asked.
Xu Mo shook his head. "No."
"You two didn't see anything?" Han Fei's expression changed. He knew Xu Mo had sharp eyes, and Li Chen was known as the "Human Camera" for his excellent eyesight.
The two of them together hadn't been able to find the same person in the surveillance footage.
Could it be that there was more than one person responsible for the bombing?
