"If you need, I can send you the account and password."

Li Mu said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"But remember, don't delete the photos on your phone or in your cloud storage; they are very important evidence."

Liu Yao nodded: "I understand, don't worry."

Li Mu stood up and said, "Thank you for cooperating with the investigation, and thank you, Teacher Wu, for making the trip."

"fine."

"It should."

Stepping out of the photo studio, the group breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally figured it out.

Chapter 292 Experiment

The group left the photo studio.

"Teacher Wu, thank you for making this long trip."

Teacher Wu said, "You're welcome. It's such a pity about Wang Mengmeng. As her teacher, I also want to clear her name."

Goodbye, Teacher Wu.

"Goodbye."

……

After watching Teacher Wu leave, Li Shiqing asked, "What do we do next?"

Li Mu said, "Investigate the person. Investigate the person in the photo who molested Wang Mengmeng."

Li Shiqing said, "But five years have passed. Can we find out anything with just one photo?"

Li Mu said, "With just the two of us, it's probably not enough. We'll have to rely on the police for help."

Li Shiqing nodded: "We do need to rely on the police. Shall we go to the police station now?"

Li Mu shook his head: "No need, just wait for the call. I think the police will contact us soon."

Li Shiqing asked doubtfully, "We got off at the normal stop this time, so there's nothing suspicious about it, right?"

Li Mu said, "On the surface, there is indeed no suspicion, but the police will definitely come to us to find out more information."

Li Shiqing said, "Then we'll wait for the police to call."

Li Mu nodded: "Let's wait! There's no need to take the initiative in this kind of thing."

As they were talking, there happened to be a lottery shop nearby, so Li Mu led Li Shiqing inside and they bought five more tickets.

Li Shiqing asked, "Why do you still buy lottery tickets?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Can't I buy it?"

Li Shiqing said, "You can buy it, but the cycle hasn't ended. Even if you win, you can't redeem the prize. The cycle will start all over again next time. Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

Li Mu said, "It's not like I bought it for nothing. First, it's to kill time when I'm bored. I keep going back and forth like this every day. How can I not have something to do?"

"Secondly, it can be considered as conducting a small experiment."

Li Shiqing asked in surprise, "What experiment?"

Li Mu said, "Let's test the odds of winning the lottery?"

Meeting Li Shiqing's questioning gaze, Li Mu explained, "Although we know the winning numbers, we bought ten tickets last time, but the first prize turned into a second prize."

"I want to try it out and see when I can win the first prize by buying different winning multipliers."

"Last time I bought ten tickets, this time I'll buy five and see if I win; if I don't, I'll buy two tickets next time and keep trying."

Li Shiqing nodded silently; it was indeed quite boring.

The two had coffee at a roadside cafe for a while when the phone rang.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, Mr. Li Mu? Did you take the No. 45 bus at noon and get off at the Yanjiang East Road stop?"

"Yes, it is."

"We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We need to ask you about some things. Do you have time to come over?"

Li Mu: "Okay, I'll be there when I have time."

……

After Li Mu hung up the phone, Li Shiqing's phone rang as well; it was also a call from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

After Li Shiqing hung up the phone, Li Mu laughed and said, "Let's go, we'll probably be inside for a few more hours."

They took a taxi to the police station, where they were greeted by Old Zhang in a small conference room.

"Li Mu, Li Shiqing, right? You came together."

Li Mu said, "She's my girlfriend. We were together when you called. Come and see her."

Old Zhang nodded: "You should know why we invited you here?"

Li Mu nodded: "I know, didn't the No. 45 bus we were on explode? It's all over the internet now, it's trending on all sorts of headlines."

Old Zhang smiled and said, "You two were the last two passengers to get off the No. 45 bus before the explosion. We want to ask you some questions."

"Did you find any unusual people, items, or anything unusual in the car?"

Li Mu didn't intend to keep them in suspense. Let them have their doubts; after all, everything would start anew after the cycle.

"Officer, I know what you want to know, and I do have some clues."

Old Zhang's eyes lit up, and he gave Li Mu a meaningful look: "What clue?"

Li Mu said, "We obtained a photograph, which is very likely the real reason for this bombing."

Old Zhang looked at him strangely. What Li Mu said was completely unexpected. He thought the other party would say that he had some clues, but he didn't expect him to talk about the cause of the bombing.

Beside him, Jiang Feng stood up excitedly and whispered in Old Zhang's ear, "Master, should we detain them first?"

Old Zhang waved for him to sit back down: "Don't be so impulsive. I think you need to work on your temper. Being too impulsive isn't good for a policeman."

Jiang Feng had no choice but to sit down.

Li Mu looked at them, smiling but saying nothing.

Old Zhang coughed twice: "Mr. Li, where is that photo you mentioned? Can we take a look at it?"

Li Mu readily agreed, "No problem, it's saved on my phone."

As he spoke, he pulled out the photo of Wang Mengmeng being molested on the bus.

Old Zhang frowned as he looked at the photo, took a picture of it with his phone, and then asked, "Did you take this on the No. 45 bus? It looks like this girl was molested. Did you call the police?"

"Also, could this be related to today's bombing?"

Li Mu shook his head: "This wasn't taken by us. It's a photo someone took on a bus five years ago. They probably didn't call the police at the time, and the suspect is still at large."

Old Zhang nodded silently.

“We can deal with the indecent assault later. Can you tell me why this photo is related to today’s explosion?”

Li Mu asked, "Do you know who the girl who was molested is?"

Old Zhang shook his head and silently watched him.

Li Mu continued, "The girl who was molested was named Wang Mengmeng, a student at Jialin Normal University. She died in a car accident five years ago."

Old Zhang was taken aback: "She died in a car accident five years ago? What connection does she have with the bombing?"

Li Mu did not answer, but instead asked, "Do you know the exact time and location of the bombing?"

Old Zhang has been busy with this case and knows all the details by heart.

"The explosion occurred at 1:45 PM today, which should be in the middle of the cross-river bridge. Is there a problem?"

Li Mu asked, "Do you know when Wang Mengmeng was in the car accident? Where was it?"

Before Lao Zhang could answer, Li Mu continued, "Wang Mengmeng was in a car accident five years ago, on the No. 45 bus, at 1:45 PM, in the middle of the cross-river bridge. She died on the spot."

Old Zhang's mind went blank, and his heart pounded wildly. Wang Mengmeng's car accident and this bombing happened at the same time, in the same place, and even on the same bus route.

What this means is self-evident; once this point is clarified, the case may be solved.

Old Zhang was in turmoil for a moment, and after a long while, he managed to say with difficulty, "So, this girl's death is related to today's bus explosion."

Chapter 293 Answer

Li Mu nodded: "I don't need to say more about that. You are all elites here, and I believe you can find out the truth."

Old Zhang asked again, "Why is this girl's death related to today's bombing? Why did she have a car accident on the bridge? Bus drivers are trained that stopping on the bridge is illegal."

Li Mu said, "I don't think I need to explain why she was in such a hurry to get off the bus; this photo says it all."

Old Zhang looked at the photos of Wang Mengmeng being molested, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

Li Mu continued, "As for the connection between Wang Mengmeng's death and today's bus bombing?"
