Chapter 540: Rose-Interruption (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Thirty-two Interruptions (Part 2)
“Hiss—beep—”

The sudden explosion caused the communication line to be silent for a moment. The signal, which had been interrupted by the shock wave, burst into a suppressed noise almost at the moment it was restored.

Jiang Mo shook the headphones that hadn't dried completely yet and hung them up again. Her head was buzzing. She couldn't quite tell which was closer, the wailing and screaming in the line or the room corridor. She raised her hand to hold down Xiao Letian who was a little panicked, and glanced at Liang Ming who was sitting on the wet marble floor, "Hold him, I'll go over and take a look!"

The tense and chaotic interference noise in the communication line finally calmed down. Gu Xing's voice mixed with the sound of the current fluctuations, and the tone was a little distorted. He was probably eager to shout, and the words came out of his mouth and then he suppressed them with difficulty. He cleared his throat, "Jiang-Jiang Mo, what's the explosion? Report the situation on the scene."

"…The thing that exploded was Liang Ming's satellite phone."

Jiang Mo followed closely behind the young man, whose legs and feet were weak from fear, and slightly lifted his collar as he rushed into the swirling cloud of dust.

The smell of burning explosives and the faint smell of blood entered Jiang Mo's tense senses before the mess on the ground. Jiang Mo picked up a pile of towels from Liang Ming's bathroom and threw them to the young police officer whose cheek and neck were scratched by the flying plastic or glass fragments from the coffee table. He turned around and grabbed a clean towel and knelt in front of Xiaomi Lu, who was squatting next to the coffee table, thinking about how to track the satellite communication signal. He pressed the bleeding wound above his brow bone and frowned at the coffee table that had been blown to pieces: "Three police officers guarding the safe and satellite phone were injured. There are no serious injuries for the time being... But it's better to call an ambulance. The three of them are relatively close to the explosion. It's safer to bring a car."

"Liang Ming was in the bathroom when the explosion happened. Letian'er and I were guarding him, and he's fine... But..." Jiang Mo swallowed and swallowed the subjective speculation of "murder to silence him" into his throat. He continued to report the miserable scene in a hoarse voice: "The satellite phone has just been simply checked and tested, and it seems that the explosion of the satellite phone was not caused by common explosives-"

"...It should be a remote-controlled explosion of a battery circuit board or something like that." Xiaomi Lu's head was numb from the shock, and the pain from Jiang Mo's pressing became stronger. He twitched a few times in pain and then sat up. He took the towel from Jiang Mo's hand with a grimace, sniffed, and then squinted his still blurry eyes and moved closer to the coffee table. He looked carefully at the pitch-black mass over Jiang Mo's arm that was intentionally protecting his head and neck, and said to the man who was still intact at the collar, "I didn't notice this just now. This should be the reason. It seems that someone has tampered with the chip and circuit board, and the battery can be detonated by remote control."

Gu Xing calmed down immediately after hearing the report that there were no serious injuries. "How to detonate? You just said remote control? What is the range of remote control?"

"It depends on the situation. The satellite phone exploded like this... I... can't identify it with my eyes alone... My ability is limited, so I can't guarantee the specific situation. However, according to the foreign cases I have seen before, either this satellite phone has a built-in destruction system when it was produced, which can be controlled by satellite positioning, or... it is close-range-"

Jiang Mo lowered his eyes, pricked up his ears, and stared at the scrapped phone with black spots on it for a long time according to the instructions recorded by Xiaomi. The previous and the following words slowly turned around in his mind. He was stunned for less than half a second, slapped his thigh, stood up, and looked down at the chaotic center of the three parties in the playground downstairs where they had been confronting each other for a long time. It seemed that they were shaken apart by the inexplicable explosion above his head. His brows suddenly gathered together: "The timing of Asia Bridge's retreat is a bit too coincidental--"

"I'll arrange someone to keep an eye on this side." Gu Xing was silent for a few seconds. "But since Liang Ming's cooperation with us has been exposed and someone wants to kill him, the explosion of this satellite phone is likely just the beginning of a warning... I'm afraid that more than one thing has been tampered with where he lives now." "In order to keep the secret, the residents of Binshui Mansion were not evacuated. If there are any safety hazards that are not checked in time..." Jiang Mo took a deep breath, "The consequences may be disastrous. Since the single-line satellite phone was blown up, it means there are two possibilities. Either Liang Ming had already colluded with his superiors and told us to wait and see, but in fact he just wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Liang Ji, his biggest worry, and for some reason, he warned the police of their cross-border behavior; or, in fact, Liang Ming's superiors are basically aware of the abacus in his hand, but obviously do not intend to buy this difficult account. Killing people to eliminate future troubles is just waiting for the opportunity... No matter which of these two guesses is, the personal safety of Liang Ming and the surrounding residents is a problem. Master, should we move Liang Ming, at least to a controllable place--"

"I'm not leaving! I can't leave!"

Before Jiang Mo could finish his words, a ghostly howling sound came from the corridor.

Liang Ming, handcuffed behind his back, struggled to get closer to the living room door. Xiao Letian restrained his movements by holding his arms and dragging him, causing him to stumble and stumble. His clothes were disheveled and he looked very embarrassed. He looked up at Jiang Mo, struggled to get close to her feet, and climbed up along her legs, trying to get close to the microphone at her collar, shouting in a hoarse and impatient voice.

"I really didn't know they had planted a bomb in this satellite phone... No, I... I do know a little... After Fengxi and Bazhuang were investigated, I am now the only one in Sheng'an. The higher-ups want me to be obedient, but... I really don't know how I have offended them? This... Didn't they agree to help me get rid of Liang Ji... I don't want to die! This thing is usually only accessible to me. Even if they know there are police here, how dare they blow it up?! Isn't that clearly kicking me into the fire pit?! I won't leave! I can't leave! Except for this, I have handled everything in this room. If I go out through this door, who knows what will be buried somewhere?! I won't leave!"

Jiang Mo lowered her eyes to look at him, and with a little disdain, she dodged Liang Ming who was rubbing against her. She waved to Xiao Letian to help the people who were swarming around like insects to sit down. She frowned and was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "You mean, the tire factory is a setup? All the actions today are to trick Liang Ji out, right?"

“…I…fuck…”

Liang Ming shook his head in fear and annoyance, and spat viciously, "That tire factory is not my business at all! Liang Ji has been managing that piece of land for a long time. In the past few years, the old man has stuffed all the land that Shengcheng International can do legitimate business with me. That piece of vacant land that is almost to the toll station can't do anything at all. In addition, there is a broken tire factory, and the pollution is so severe that even the business of planting trees and selling seedlings can't be done... But that place is secluded, and I don't know why Liang Ji has nothing better to do and finds someone to watch it there in the middle of the night. Shengcheng Intermediate's business was leaked there, and later Zhang Yibai was tricked by him-"

"The goods in the factory were arranged in advance by Hong Xinyu and were to be delivered to Liang Ji."

Liang Ming chewed his teeth and took a deep breath, "That place was actually their meeting point from the very beginning..."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
"The setting sun melts gold, the evening clouds merge into jade, where are the people?"
