Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 130 I suspect you're subtly criticizing me
"What?" Du Bixiao on the other end of the phone and everyone else in the living room who were also listening to the call exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time.

Du Anrao's expression was more serious than ever before. The reason she knew so much about this matter was because there was a very detailed report about this case in the book.

This report not only revealed all the details of the case, including the number of casualties, how the suspect sneaked into the mall, how he planted the bombs without anyone noticing, the exact locations of the bombs, how many weapons he carried, and the real reason he did it.

"The man who planted these bombs in the mall was a man under forty years old surnamed Yao. Three months ago, he was cheated by a friend, which caused his company to lose a large amount of money, break its cash flow, and declare bankruptcy. Shortly after that, his only daughter was kidnapped in the mall by a desperate robber. During the police rescue operation, an accident occurred, and his daughter tragically died on the spot..."

At this time, Du Bixiao's phone was already connected to the team's public phone, making it convenient for everyone to change the deployment based on the information revealed by Du Anrao.

Upon hearing this, a young police officer suddenly exclaimed, "I think I know who it is!"

In an instant, the entire group erupted in excitement.

"Tell me already! Stop being so mysterious at a time like this, or the boss will beat you up!"

"It was that high-profile jewelry store robbery not long ago. Because the robber was armed, everyone in the South District rushed to help. The negotiations were going smoothly, and the robber's attitude had softened. But then a woman suddenly screamed, which startled him and caused the gun to go off accidentally. The little girl who was being held hostage died on the spot. People in the South District were probably greatly affected, and more than half of them applied for psychological intervention when they came back."

After the young man finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "It's quite a coincidence that the robbery also took place in this Jiangyu Square."

Everyone in the group: "..."

The young man looked up and found all his colleagues staring at him with knowing looks. He was startled and asked, "Wh...what's wrong?"

"Sometimes ignorance is not a bad thing; ignorance is bliss."

Young man: "..." I suspect you're subtly criticizing me, but I have no proof!

After seeing the case details and the specific information of the suspected suspect compiled in the group, Du Bixiao immediately thought of Du Anrao's reminder from that day.

She said she suspected the suspect might have a grudge against them, which was why he deliberately made such a commotion to lure them over and kill them all.

If the suspect is indeed this person, then it really makes sense.

Du Bixiao relayed the information her colleague had revealed to Du Anrao, but Du Anran wasn't entirely sure if it was really this person.

In the footage he had glimpsed by chance before, Du Anrao did not see the person's appearance, and the person was always referred to as a vague name like Yao Moumou in the book.

"I'm not sure if it's this person; all I know is that he has a scar on his left wrist."

Du Bixiao wasn't too disappointed when she didn't get a positive answer. After all, Du Anrao had already given them enough information. If they couldn't even handle this last little thing, they'd really have to go home and eat for nothing.

"Okay, I understand now. Thank you for your help. I'll call you back when I'm done."

"Yes, cousin, remember to wear a bulletproof vest. Everyone going should wear one too, just in case."

Du Bixiao suddenly remembered Du Anrao's inner monologue that night, telling her to weld bulletproof vests onto her body recently.

He chuckled, and his previously tense nerves relaxed a bit.

"Okay, I'll pass on their message. Don't worry, we'll all be fine." "...Mm."

That's what they say, but how can we truly feel at ease about something this big until everything is settled?

As one of the main people in charge, Du Qichang rushed to the side to make a phone call after learning all the information.

The clock in the living room ticked away, each minute and second like a death warrant from the King of Hell.

The Du family had never felt an hour or so stretch out before, but in this atmosphere, they really had no desire to bring up other topics to pass the time.

Even Du Desheng temporarily put aside his obsession with his lover and focused on waiting for news from Du Bixiao.

When the shortest hand on the living room clock turned to 3, Du Qichang finally walked in from outside, looking weathered and worn.

"How is it?" Du Desheng was the first to stand up and asked in a deep voice.

"It's alright, it's alright." Du Qichang finally smiled. "Bi Xiao made excellent arrangements. Because they weren't sure if the suspect had a device to detonate the bombs in advance, they had experts disguise themselves as customers and infiltrate the mall to disarm the other bombs. They also located the suspect in the mall as quickly as possible and subdued him before he could take hostages."

"What about the bomb on his person?"

Du Qichang's face darkened as soon as Du Anrao mentioned it, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This man is a madman. The one strapped to his body is the most powerful and the most difficult to disarm of all the bombs. The bomb disposal experts used some methods to temporarily stop the bomb, but it will probably take some time to remove it."

Du Qichang was both angry and resentful, and he really couldn't understand why someone could be so ruthless to him, risking his own life just to make so many people die with him.

[It's likely he never intended to live, hence the drastic measure. After all, with his entire family wiped out, he probably had no will to live left. That's why they say don't mess with an honest person; an honest person going berserk can truly wreak havoc on the world. However, that's no excuse for dragging innocent people into this; it just shows that even the most hateful person has a pitiable side. His pitifulness doesn't contradict the judgment he deserves.]

Du family members: Oh...

Du Desheng frowned: "It's only a temporary stop, so where are they now?"

"They first moved the suspect, and then evacuated the crowd at Jiangyu Plaza. But..."

"only?"

"Some news media somehow got wind of this and staked out outside Jiangyu Square to take photos of Bi Xiao and her team evacuating the crowd. Now, some newspapers have published articles criticizing them for their poor handling of the situation, distorting the facts, inciting public sentiment, and creating panic. To prevent the situation from worsening, I may have to go back first."

"Then go back. The matter is resolved, and you have achieved your purpose in coming here. There is no need to stay any longer."

Du Qichang's gaze swept between Du Desheng and Du Anrao before he finally gritted his teeth and left.

Du Anrao watched his departing figure, his eyes filled with confusion.

[Was it just my imagination? Why did this uncle seem so reluctant to leave?]
