"Damn, it's almost there!"
Even the younger brother, who has always been a gentleman, couldn't help swearing when he woke up again.
"So the bell was a timing device? Or one of the detonating devices?"
The feeling of failing at the door is really too bad, my little brother can't accept it.
Li Shiqing's situation is not much better.
Just like before, this time the pressure cooker blew up while she was holding it. When the explosion happened, she lost all bones on the spot. When she woke up, she couldn't feel the existence of her hands at all.
But what is more unacceptable than the physical pain is the last sudden "change of mind" of the driver uncle in the last cycle.
Li Shiqing never doubted the driver uncle, not even once.
She is not from the city. She came to this city alone to go to school. In order to save more pocket money, like most college students, she usually chooses to take the bus when going out.
Her family has a car. Before she went to college, her parents drove her to pick up and drop her off when she went to distant places, and walked or rode bicycles for those who were not far away.
Learning how to take a bus and watch the bus routes is something that comes after you come to this city.
Because the school is on this line, the route 45 is the one she takes the most. The driver she has met the most on this line is this uncle driver.
When she first started learning to ride the bus, she often had various problems. Sometimes she passed the stop, sometimes she took the wrong direction, and sometimes she kindly gave up her seat to an elderly person but was robbed by a young person...
Many times, it was only with the patient help of this kind-hearted uncle driver that she was able to reach her destination successfully.
It was the driver uncle who made her fall in love with this humane city and take the bus in this city.
Unlike the lifeless subway or the monotonous and boring taxi, taking the bus is so much more fun.
She likes its low fare, likes to watch the city scenery outside the car window in the bright and clean carriage, and likes to measure every inch of the city in this way;
She likes to listen to local people chatting loudly in dialect in the car, and likes the short-term fate between people every time they get on and off the car, and also likes to spend this simple and full of life with many different people in the car. dozens of minutes.
Every time she gets in the car, as long as there are not many people in the car, she likes to sit behind the uncle driver, and chat with him from time to time, sometimes even without talking, just sitting in the seat behind him feels at ease.
As long as you smile and beg the uncle when you get on the bus, you don't have to worry about passing the stop at all.
Although Li Shiqing had never told the driver uncle, she was full of gratitude to this kind uncle from the bottom of her heart, and always wanted to say "thank you" to him.
Thank him for his kind guidance and selfless help when I first arrived in this city and felt helpless;
I also thank him for reminding him every time he arrives at the station, and for maintaining when there is friction with people.
When the "bus circulation" incident began, she tried to get the driver to stop, make the driver turn around, and even create various incidents to persuade him, but every time the uncle insisted on sending the passengers to the bus station instead of turning the bus drove away.
At that time, she was still worried about his being too "professional".
It's not that her companion didn't question the uncle driver.
As soon as the incident happened, he insinuated and asked the driver if his mental condition was not good enough to cause the accident.
— That time, she explained to the uncle and dispelled his doubts;
He questioned whether the driver would have dropped a car of passengers and escaped or simply didn't believe what they said.
— It was she who vetoed his guess very positively, and even said "he is not that kind of person".
It was because of her blind trust in the uncle, and because she was too confident in her own judgment, that she insisted on choosing this "pass way" that she felt was "the least difficult"...
The result fell short.
The driver really isn't the type to leave a car behind and run away, what he wants... is for no one to get out of the car.
"Why is this happening..." Li Shiqing fell into deep disbelief and suspicion, and said to herself, "...Why did the driver do this?"
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't connect the vicious "gangster" with the kind and friendly uncle driver.
"No matter why, it is now certain that the driver and the crazy aunt are accomplices. The 'Wang Xingde' that the aunt shouted hysterically before may be the driver's name..."
There was a sudden change at the door, and the little brother was in a bad mood, but fortunately, he didn't know the driver at first, and he didn't suffer too much.
"They may have known each other before, and he probably knew about the bombing."
"There must be some reason for them..."
Li Shiqing muttered to herself.
She still remembered the uncle's last look at him.
Those eyes were too complicated, as if there were many things he wanted to say to her, but in the end he could only choke silently.
Her life experience is too little to understand the meaning of the uncle's look at her, but she can see the deep guilt and pain in that look.
This is not the look a "gangster" who wants to die with others should have.
"No matter what the difficulties are, if there are such variables, the plan will change accordingly..."
The little brother took off his glasses, rubbed his sore forehead irritably, and said a little irritably.
He made plans so many times, but never included the "driver man" and "other people" parts.
In his opinion, all people except him and Li Shiqing are uncontrollable factors. In his plan, all factors except the two of them are "risks".
As long as there are risks, there will be variables. He has no habit of entrusting his life to others, so his plan has never been "seek help", but "self-help".
But Li Shiqing is different. This little girl has never left school, and she has received too many people's kindness in her growth, so she never hesitates to trust others with the greatest kindness. When encountering problems, her subconscious reaction is to find someone to turn to. .
It can be seen from her character that she still chooses to call the police in such an urgent time.
This kind of personality is not bad, at least she has never lost the chain at a critical moment, and she always maintains a positive and optimistic mood and indomitable tenacity.
This kind of emotion also infected him, so that he did not collapse because of such a terrible thing, but worked hard to find a way out with her.
But now, because of this character, the driver's "betrayal" has hit her too hard.
"It's all my fault, my advice went wrong..."
Li Shiqing lowered her eyes and apologized softly.
"It's not your fault, at least with the help of the uncle and the man in the mask, we can indeed subdue the aunt very easily, but no one thought that the driver would not open the door at all. And if the driver is an accomplice, we are actually fine Opportunity, even if we control the aunt, as long as he doesn't get out of the car, it's too easy for him to cause a car accident."
Thinking that the driver and the aunt were probably together, the little brother was full of worries.
"Hey, the uncle driver is also an accomplice, and the difficulty for us to solve this matter has increased too much..."
None of them can drive, as long as the driver is willing to "self-destruct", there are countless ways to kill everyone along the way.
Not to mention, the bomb is not only detonated by "unplugging the pressure limiting valve".
"And the bomb, as far as is known, has two detonation methods."
In the previous cycle, they had a firm grip on Auntie and the pressure cooker, but the pressure cooker still blew up.
Although I don't have time to look at my phone, my little brother is 80% sure that the bomb's timing device must be set at 13:45.
"So the phone's ringtone is indeed a timing device..."
Manual detonation + timed detonation, there are already two types that can be determined.
If the timing device is a mobile phone, it can be detonated even if the driver calls, then there are three possible types...
No matter how you think about it, this is a desperate situation.
"Uncle has been driving on this line for several years, why do you want to do this?"
Li Shiqing is still entangled in the previous cycle, talking to herself all the time, unable to get out of it at all.
"What's the relationship between Uncle and Auntie? Why did this bombing happen? Why is it at 13:45 every time? Why is it set to explode at 13:45..."
"Let's calm down first, and then make a proper plan."
The little brother was a little worried about Li Shiqing's mental state, so he reached out to touch her forehead, but Li Shiqing blocked his arm.
"Don't think about it too much. Since the driver uncle is the accomplice of the auntie, he is a person along the way."
"You don't understand at all!"
Li Shiqing suddenly became excited, and her voice suddenly rose an octave.
Seeing that other passengers were attracted by her sudden cry, Li Shiqing regained control of her emotions, but her expression was still stubborn.
"You have never been in contact with the driver uncle, you will not understand that he is not the same person as the auntie!"
Although she lowered her voice, she still couldn't hide the excitement in her tone, "When the aunt killed me, I didn't feel her emotion at all. She was like a ruthless killing machine, but uncle..."
Li Shiqing's uncle's gaze appeared.
"I'm afraid I can feel that the uncle is in great pain. He must really hope that someone will help him!"
She grabbed her companion's hand and begged: "Maybe he has some reason to do this! What if his family is coerced? What if he has some reason to obey others? If he can find out The reason, to eliminate his doubts, maybe he will give up this terrible plan and choose to help us?"
"But he didn't open the door at all..."
"But he let me get out of the car, he let us get out of the car!"
Li Shiqing growled uncontrollably, and tears finally burst out of her eyes.
"If the driver uncle wants to take a car full of people to die, why can we get off the car successfully?!"
Even if a pervert appeared in the car, he would choose to die with everyone, so why would he let them get off the car halfway
Xiao Heyun was stunned for a moment.
Before this, he had never thought about this question.
"you're right… "
The little brother sighed softly, and wiped away the tears on Li Shiqing's face with his thumb.
"In that case, let's get out of the car."
"ah?"
Hearing the familiar sound of station announcement, Li Shiqing looked at him blankly.
"Don't you want to find out the truth?"
The little brother took Li Shiqing's hand and led her all the way to the back door.
The vehicle stopped at the Yanjiang East Road stop sign and slowly opened the door.
"Then let's get out of the car!"
The author has something to say: Some readers have reported that this choice is "unpleasant", so I will make a "cool version" in the next chapter, you can see whichever one you like.
