Li Mu smiled and put her down. Li Shiqing's legs seemed a little weak, and she almost couldn't stand up, but Li Mu caught her waist in time so she wouldn't fall to the ground.

"Be careful."

Li Shiqing blushed even more, nodded gently, and hummed in agreement.

“Let’s go. We only have one thing to do today: investigate Tao Yinghong and confirm her suspicions,” Li Mu said.

The two hadn't walked far along the river embankment when a loud explosion came from the bridge spanning the river in the distance. Li Mu checked the time; it was 1:45. Another explosion had occurred right on time.

I don't know what 1:45 means.

Having obtained Tao Yinghong's basic identity information from the police, Li Mu took Li Shiqing to the chemical plant where she had worked for several years.

Using the police's name, they easily found out Tao Yinghong's address in Gangwu New Village from a coworker, and the two hurried over there.

If Tao Yinghong is the real suspect, the explosive device could not have appeared out of nowhere. She boarded the train at Gangwu Xincun Station, so there must have been some traces at her residence.

Upon arriving at Gangwu New Village, Li Shiqing suddenly said, "That migrant worker named Jiao Xiangrong seems to live nearby as well."

Li Mu thought about the police information about Jiao Xiangrong that he had seen yesterday. Jiao Xiangrong did indeed rent a place in this area, and it seemed to be in the yard in front.

"Let's go take a look." Although Jiao Xiangrong was not a major suspect, he had not been completely ruled out. Since we were already here, we decided to go and see for ourselves.

The two arrived at the garage door where he rented a place. Li Mu banged on the door and shouted, "Is anyone there? Come out for a second! Where is the landlord?"

The upstairs window opened, revealing a fat head.

"Who are you looking for?"

Li Mu asked, "You're the landlord, isn't this the place Jiao Xiangrong is renting?"

The landlord, with a face full of fat, asked in confusion, "Yes, that's me. What do you want with him? He just moved out today."

Li Mu pulled a notebook out of his pocket and waved it at him: "We are police officers. Since you are the landlord, come down here for a moment. We need to ask you some questions."

Upon hearing that it was the police, the landlord looked a little nervous and obediently ran downstairs.

"Officer, what happened to Lao Jiao? He seems like a very honest person! I hope he didn't do anything wrong."

Li Mu did not answer him, but continued to ask, "How has he been lately? Has he shown any unusual behavior?"

The landlord shook his head: "Nothing's wrong! Everything's normal. There is one thing, though: the construction site has stopped recently, and he's been looking for work."

"Is he too tight-fisted and has really gotten himself into trouble?"

Li Mu said, "No, we were just gathering information as usual."

"Is this his residence? Open the door and let's go in and take a look."

The landlord nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, officer."

The garage door was opened, and Li Mu and Li Shiqing went inside to check it carefully. They found nothing unusual, let alone anything that could be used to make explosives.

Li Mu then asked the landlord, "Do you know what he took with him when he left?"

The landlord said, "They're all miscellaneous things, I don't remember them very well."

Li Mu asked, "How did you take it away?"

The landlord said, "I thought he was a nice guy, and he had a lot of stuff but nowhere to put it, so I gave him one of my wife's suitcases."

Li Mu thought of the somewhat incongruous red suitcase Jiao Xiangrong had brought: "What color is it?"

The landlord scratched his head: "Red, officer, what's wrong?"

Li Mu said, "It's nothing, just asking."

He exchanged a glance with Li Shiqing.

"Okay, that's all for now. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Xiao Li, let's go."

After leaving the compound, the two quickly found the compound where Tao Yinghong was renting.

Just then, an older woman came out of there.

Li Mu walked over and asked, "Does Tao Yinghong live here?"

The middle-aged woman asked warily, "Who are you?"

Li Mu pulled out a small notebook and waved it in front of her: "We're police officers, we need to find out some information from her. Does she live here?"

The woman's expression immediately became enthusiastic: "Yes, yes, I am her landlord, officers. What do you need her for?"

Li Mu asked, "Is she home now?"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "I didn't think much of it. Let me take you to see it."

When Li Mu arrived at Tao Yinghong's rented house, he saw black burn marks on the garage next door.

"What happened to that garage? Who rented it? It looks like it was burned down."

The woman said, "Oh, this garage was also rented by Tao Yinghong. It caught fire a while ago, and the neighbors helped put it out."

Li Mu's eyes lit up: "Auntie, could you open the garage door so we can take a look?"

The woman hesitated and said, "But I've already rented out the garage."

Li Mu said, "Auntie, you're cooperating with the police."

The older woman has a very high level of awareness.

"Alright, I'll open it for you."

As soon as the garage door opened, a strange chemical smell wafted out. Li Mu and Li Shiqing went inside to check it out and then compared it with some professional information found online.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

As Li Mu stepped out of the garage, he smiled and said to the older woman, "Auntie, thank you for cooperating with our work."

The older woman asked in confusion, "You're leaving already? What happened to Tao Yinghong?"

Li Mu said, "It's alright, we'll keep our visit a secret."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately perked up and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, officer, I know the rules and will keep it a secret."

Li Muchong nodded, somewhat dumbfounded.

"gone."

Once the suspect is identified, things will be much easier.

Chapter 286 The Ninth Cycle

After leaving Gangwu New Village and confirming that Tao Yinghong was the real suspect, it was only a little past 3 p.m., and there was still plenty of time before the next cycle started.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, today's mission is over. Now let's relax."

Li Shiqing's eyes held a hint of longing. Originally, for her, the cycle was a painful, tense, and anxious thing, as she was always facing or experiencing death.

After Li Mu came along, things suddenly became easier and more interesting, and having been with Li Mu for so long, I had never experienced death once.

This is extremely rare for her.

Adding to the charm that Li Mu exuded in every gesture, Li Shiqing felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

The two went shopping, watched movies, and enjoyed food together until after 10 p.m. before finally finding a hotel to stay in.

This time, Li Mu only booked a suite with two bedrooms. Li Shiqing seemed a little shy, but she didn't say anything.

Li Mu didn't do anything!

Given the ambiguous atmosphere at the time, if he had been willing, something might have actually happened.

……

Li Mu slowly woke up; this was the ninth time he had cycled through the same loop. He could hear the top streamer filming a video beside him.

"A healthy life keeps your back straight, and happiness comes from taking the bus. Wherever there's happiness, there's blue skies and clear seas. Happiness always outweighs worries; for happiness, find Brother Yi! Yay!"

At this moment, Li Shiqing also woke up. She was stunned for a few seconds, but when she saw Li Mu next to her, her eyes softened instantly.

"You're awake. What should we do?"

Li Mu said, "No need for too much trouble. I'll subdue the person, you take the pressure cooker away, then call the police, or have the driver take the bus directly to the police station."

Li Shiqing nodded, clenching her fist with a hint of excitement.

"Alright, things are finally about to be resolved. When do we make our move?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer, until the bus gets on the bridge."

Li Shiqing was a little confused: "It's only been a little over two minutes from when we got on the bridge to when the bus exploded. Isn't that too short a time?"

"Should we act immediately, lest things get complicated and unexpected problems arise?"

Li Mu explained, "It's not that we can't act sooner, but the explosives are difficult to deal with."

“Actually, we could take action now, subdue the people, and seize the explosives. However, the detonation time has been predetermined, and we don’t have any bomb disposal experts here. After the alarm is raised, there’s only so much time; the bomb disposal experts simply can’t get there in time.”

"If we can't find a suitable place to detonate it, we can only do it on the streets in the city. That would have too much of an impact and could easily injure people. It would be better to get on the bridge, subdue the people, and take the explosives away. If the police don't have time, we can just throw them into the river below, which would save time and effort."

Li Shiqing thought about it and realized that what Li Mu said did make sense.

"I'll listen to you. I'll go and tell the driver to be prepared."
