Li Mu glanced back and said to Li Shiqing, "Let's go find a quiet place and wait for the police to pick us up."

Just as Li Shiqing was about to move, she suddenly remembered something and said nervously, "Um! Didn't I pretend to be sick when I got off the bus? There are cameras all over here now. If I leave without any problems, won't the police get suspicious?"

Li Mu smiled at her: "This time, we don't need to pretend to be sick anymore. Let's tell the truth."

Li Shiqing opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Ah!"

Li Mu said, "This time, we don't need to use the excuse that you had a medical emergency and needed to go to the hospital urgently, so we got off halfway."

“Tell the police the truth: you were faking your illness so you could get off the bus halfway through the journey.”

Li Shiqing said, "But what should we say if the police press us for answers?"

Li Mu said, "It's very simple. I had a premonition that something was going to happen in the car, so I asked you to pretend to be sick. We got out of the car together, and then I quickly called the police. It was all reasonable, and the police couldn't say anything."

Li Shiqing blinked and realized that it seemed to be true.

……

The two arrived at a secluded spot, and Li Mu turned his phone back on. The police immediately called.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li Mu? We are... Just now, the No. 45 bus collided with a tanker truck and exploded. You were the one who called the police, right? We'd like to ask you about the situation."

"Yes, it was me, I called the police. I'm... yes, I'm with another passenger who got off the bus, I'll wait for you to come over."

After hanging up the phone, he met Li Shiqing's curious gaze.

"Just wait, the police will be here to pick us up soon."

Chapter 283 Return to the Police Station

Twenty minutes later, in the small conference room of the police station, Li Mu and Li Shiqing were sitting on one side, and Zhang Cheng, Jiang Feng and several other criminal police officers were sitting on the other.

Zhang Cheng spoke first: "Mr. Li, because this matter is serious and you called the police in advance, we need your cooperation in our investigation."

Li Mu readily agreed, "No problem. Assisting the police investigation is simply our duty as citizens."

Seeing that Li Mu was very cooperative, Zhang Cheng felt much more relieved. On the surface, this incident seemed to be an accidental traffic accident, but it became complicated because the other party had called the police in advance.

Some people in the department suggested detaining the person and interrogating them thoroughly, but this was not adopted. Aside from the fact that this still appears to be an accidental traffic accident, the fact that the person reported it to the police beforehand and actively cooperated with the investigation makes it unreasonable to detain them without further ado.

Moreover, the information on these two people has already been thoroughly investigated; they are completely innocent, their backgrounds are very simple, and they have very little suspicion.

Old Zhang coughed lightly: "Mr. Li, why did you call the police saying that the No. 45 bus was going to have an accident? You urged the police to dispatch officers immediately, and even said on the phone that you were willing to take legal responsibility for it."

"What did you see or hear in the car? Was someone threatening the driver's safe driving?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "No, everything seemed normal in the car at the time."

Old Zhang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that he would say that.

He asked again, "But less than three minutes after you called the police, the bus had an accident."

"If you didn't see any suspicious people or objects, and you didn't see anyone interfering with the driver's normal driving, why did you get off the bus midway and then call the police?"

"This is completely unreasonable!"

Li Mu said in a serious tone, "Officer, do you believe in a sixth sense?"

Old Zhang frowned, and Jiang Feng, who was next to him, glared at Li Mu, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Old Zhang.

"Don't worry about whether we believe it or not, just keep talking."

Li Mu was somewhat surprised by Lao Zhang's ability to accept things and his patience, but this was even better.

“I’ve had a strong sixth sense since I was a child. You might not believe it and think it’s superstitious, but it really exists and it happened to me. There are many people in the world with a strong sixth sense like me. You’ve probably seen similar cases online.”

“I have encountered several major dangers since I was a child, and I have always managed to escape them by relying on my sixth sense. This makes me particularly sensitive to them and I also believe in my premonitions.”

"Today, after I got on the bus, I felt a little tired and fell asleep quickly."

"Then, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that a bus exploded and there was fire everywhere. I woke up in a cold sweat."

"I didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was just a normal nightmare, but then I felt very uncomfortable and the bus felt very unsafe, as if something was about to happen."

“My sixth sense is usually very accurate, and I rarely get such strong physical warnings. I immediately realized that this car was very likely to have an accident, and it could happen very soon, maybe even in the next second.”

"The previous stop of bus route 45 is Yanjiang East Road Station, and the next stop is Yanjiang West Road Station. It needs to cross a long bridge across the river in between, and there are no stops in the short term."

"I realized I couldn't wait for the next stop; I had to get off immediately."

Old Zhang said, "Then how do you get the driver to open the door? These drivers are all trained, and they generally won't open the door until the destination is reached."

Li Mu said, "I found Li Shiqing to cooperate with me. She knows some things about me and trusts me."

"I told her to pretend to have a heart attack and need to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment before I got out of the car."

"On the bus, I was hesitant about whether something would really happen, but after getting off, that feeling of danger immediately disappeared. I realized that it was indeed a problem with the bus, but there was nothing I, an ordinary person, could do about it."

"So I dialed the police number and asked for help to see if the danger could be resolved."

"Now it seems we're clearly a step too late."

After Li Mu finished speaking, the small conference room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure whether to believe it or not. If they didn't believe it, the deed was already done; if they did believe it, how could they report such superstition to their superiors, how could they even bring themselves to say it?

Old Zhang rubbed his forehead: "Mr. Li, what you're saying is too fantastical. Without evidence, it's hard for us to believe you."

Li Mu wasn't discouraged. He knew the police wouldn't believe this. As long as he remained skeptical, he could get through today. After a day, no matter how much they doubted him, a new cycle would begin.

Moreover, at the very least, the idea of ​​a sixth sense is more plausible than telling the police about time loops.

As an ancient country with a long history, although most people verbally advocate resisting superstition, they are not actually opposed to various superstitious activities.

Burning incense and praying to Buddha, worshipping ancestors, praying for blessings and making wishes... People say they resist, but their actions tell a different story.

While some people consider the mysterious ability of a sixth sense to be nonsense, many people cannot deny its existence.

Most people are skeptical, neither believing nor denying.

The police reacted similarly to Li Mu's statement. They initially found the idea of ​​a sixth sense absurd, but couldn't deny that some people genuinely possess this peculiar ability.

After all, the world is full of wonders.

After thinking for a while, he spoke again: "Mr. Li, let's not talk about the sixth question for now. Think carefully, were there really no strange people or objects on the bus?"

Li Mu pretended to recall something seriously, and after a while, he said uncertainly, "There really is something unusual."

Old Zhang's face lit up with joy: "What's wrong?"

Li Mu frowned, looking as if he was thinking carefully.

"At that time, I felt as if I was in the car and smelled a faint, pungent odor."

Old Zhang immediately followed up with, "What kind of pungent smell?"

Li Mu said, "The smell was a bit strange, like chemicals. It was because of that smell that I felt a stronger sense of danger."

Old Zhang frowned and pondered for a while.

Why didn't you mention this earlier?

Li Mu said, "The weather is hot now, and the bus is crowded with people coming and going. There are all kinds of smells, such as sweat and feet. In addition, the smell is faint and not very strong, so it did not attract my attention."

"You just asked me to think if there were any unusual people or items in the car, and that's when I remembered there seemed to be a strange smell in the car."

Zhang Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper.

"What do you think is emitting this smell?"

Li Mu shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Old Zhang said, "Your sixth sense isn't very strong, is it? Then use your sixth sense to guess."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "The sixth sense is a passive behavior of the body, which I cannot control. Besides, we are not in danger right now."

"However, I do have some doubts about the direction, and I'm just saying this for your reference."

Old Zhang said, "Go ahead."

Li Mu said, "I had that nightmare of being burned by the explosion. After that, I got out of the car because I had a premonition of danger, and then I heard an explosion behind me."

"At the time, I didn't know it was caused by a collision between a bus and a tanker truck; I thought there were explosives on the vehicle."

"Do you think there might really be explosives in the car? That smell is from explosives."

After hearing Li Mu's words, the group exchanged glances and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Old Zhang turned to Zhang and instructed him, "Xiao Jiang, immediately notify the person in charge of the accident site and have them carefully check for any traces of explosives."

"Was it a simple fuel explosion, or were there other explosives involved?"

Jiang Feng immediately stood up.

"Okay, Master, I'll go right away."

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Feng arrived in a hurry, his face covered in cold sweat, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"Sir, according to the trace analysis at the scene, there are indeed explosive residues. There may really be a bomb in the car."

With a loud "boom," the scene erupted in uproar, and everyone realized that the situation had escalated.

This was not an ordinary traffic accident, but a premeditated and planned bombing.
