When Jiang Feng in the interrogation room and the police officer who was recording heard Zhou Chen say this, their faces suddenly changed. They sat up straight and stared at Zhou Chen closely.

Even Director Du, who was sitting in the monitoring room, lost his composure and shouted, "Turn up the volume and notify Jiang Feng to continue asking questions. No matter what answer he gets, he must remain calm and not be impulsive."

Jiang Feng received the order and immediately asked: "You said the bus explosion was not an accident but man-made. What evidence do you have?"

"If I had evidence, I wouldn't have to go to the scene and would have called the police directly. I just had a suspicion."

"Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Feng couldn't help but question angrily.

Zhou Chen looked at him in confusion: "With your personality, you can't even do the most basic calm analysis. How did you become a criminal policeman? You don't ask me why I suspect or what I suspect, but you say I'm playing tricks on you. What do you think?"

"Zhou Chen, don't be so arrogant, this is the police station."

"I know, so I have been cooperating and explaining things, but you have been interrupting me, questioning me, and even threatening me. Is this how you handle cases?"

Director Du in the monitoring room couldn't bear it any longer after seeing this scene.

"What's wrong with Xiao Jiang? He has been doing criminal investigation for so many years, but why is he still so hot-tempered?"

She was very dissatisfied with Jiang Feng's job, "This Zhou Chen is not an ordinary character. Jiang Feng can't judge him, so he notified Team Zhang to change him with Jiang Feng, and he went to ask Zhou Chen."

On the other side, in the interrogation room, unlike the noisy and bustling situation on Zhou Chen's side, their side was very quiet. Only Li Shiqing was quietly narrating.

Zhang Cheng, who was in charge of interrogating Li Shiqing, was fine at the beginning, but not long after getting to the point, he fell into a state of doubting his life.

What is Li Shiqing talking about?

A dream within a dream, a cycle, the two of them cycled through five explosions...

Look, is this something a normal person could say?

If it weren't for the fact that Li Shiqing spoke clearly, fluently, and with normal eyes, he really wanted to call Qingshan Mental Hospital and ask them to send someone to check on Li Shiqing to see if there was something wrong with her brain.

Not only him, the recorder next to him was equally speechless. What the hell was going on?

"Do you believe what I said?"

Li Shiqing asked Zhang Cheng, but in fact she didn't need to ask, she had already got the answer from the expression on Zhang Cheng's face.

"Okay, I know you won't believe it, but I still want to emphasize that what I said is true."

Zhang Cheng pursed his lips. Seeing Li Shiqing's sincere look, he felt that his twenty years of experience in handling cases was completely useless.

Director Du's voice rang in his ears, and Zhang Cheng stood up: "Li Shiqing, think about it carefully and see if there is anything you missed. My colleagues will come to ask you later."

Back in the monitoring room, Zhang Cheng saw Jiang Feng with his head down and Director Du with a frosty face.

"Director Du, what's wrong?"

Director Du snorted coldly, "You asked this good disciple of yours to interrogate him, but he got irritated by the other party with just a few words and was led by the nose. He completely lost the calmness that a criminal policeman should have. Switch with him and ask Zhou Chen. I think this person is the key. Li Shiqing may have been guided by him."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "No problem."

Then he looked at Jiang Feng again, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you that you should be calm when handling cases and not be impetuous? After so many years, you still can't change. After this incident, write me a review of your behavior."

Jiang Feng didn't dare to retort: ​​"Got it, Master."

Zhou Chen looked at Zhang Cheng who came in and asked with a smile: "It's a change of people, Officer Zhang, where are Officer Jiang? I feel like we got along quite well."

Zhang Cheng is much more experienced, and he also said with a smile: "If we get along well, we can talk more later, but he has something to do now, so I will ask you some questions next. I hope you can cooperate."

"Of course I will cooperate."

Zhou Chen actually admires these criminal police very much, because criminal police can be said to have a very dangerous profession. As the front-line personnel fighting criminals, their lives may be in danger at any time, so such people are worthy of admiration.

The reason why he treated Jiang Feng like that just now was because Jiang Feng was too rude and his attitude was particularly bad.

Seeing that Zhou Chen had a good attitude, Zhang Cheng did not waste time. He compared the records and started asking questions.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. If you were going to the city for a blind date, why didn't you drive there yourself instead of taking the bus?"

"I just don't want to drive. If I take the bus, I can sleep on the way."

"Oh."

Zhang Cheng didn't ask any more questions on this issue and asked the next question.

"You just said that you suspected that the bus bombing was not an accident but a man-made one? What evidence do you have, or what is the reason that prompted you to have such a suspicion?"

Today's explosion is definitely the largest traffic accident in Jialin City in recent years. In addition to the bus and the tanker truck, more than 20 other vehicles were involved in the accident, dozens of people were injured, and the death toll reached more than 20 people.

If this was not a traffic accident but a man-made one, Zhang Cheng couldn't imagine how much impact it would have on the fishing boat.

Zhou Chen's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "As for evidence, I don't have it for now, but I can tell you the reason."

"What is it?"

"cycle."

"cycle?"

Hearing this word again, Zhang Cheng's originally expectant mood suddenly became extremely bad.

What’s going on? He just doubted his life once in front of Li Shiqing, why is it happening a second time?

"Ahem, Zhou Chen, what do you mean by this cycle?"

Zhou Chen smiled and asked back: "Why, didn't Li Shiqing tell you?"

Zhang Cheng said with a bewildered look on his face: "I'm sorry, Li Shiqing wasn't the one who asked, so I don't understand what you mean by this cycle."

"Okay, since you don't know, I'll tell you in detail."

Zhou Chen would never believe what Zhang Cheng said. Even if he was not the one interrogating Li Shiqing, he must have heard about it through other channels.

As for whether Li Shiqing would tell it, he had no doubt at all, because he had already told Li Shiqing that if asked, he should tell the truth, and he believed that Li Shiqing would definitely do so.

"I've experienced bus explosions three times in total. This is the fourth time. The difference is that I was killed in the first three times, but this time, I'm still alive."

When Zhang Cheng heard this, his face trembled. Come on, Li Shiqing said almost the same thing when she talked about this.

Naturally, he didn't believe this cycle at all. Now he suspected that this was most likely something Zhou Chen and Li Shiqing had discussed long ago just to deal with them.

But what he couldn't understand was why Zhou Chen and Li Shiqing did this. Was this accident really related to them?

But this doesn't make sense. If it had anything to do with them, how did they do it, and why did they use such a fake excuse?

Even if you say nothing and keep silent, it is much better than finding this lame excuse.

"When I first woke up, it was......"

Zhou Chen recounted everything that happened after he woke up several times. Apart from his origins, there was nothing else he couldn't tell.

Zhang Cheng was listening attentively, and the recorder was also taking notes seriously. Even though the contents were strange, that was their job.

Zhang Cheng was indifferent at first, but after listening, his expression became a little strange.

Because Li Shiqing just said six cycles and five were killed by the explosion, but Zhou Chen said four cycles and three were killed by the explosion, which was two short.

If they had a conversation, there wouldn't be such an obvious loophole.

As he was thinking about it, Zhang Cheng suddenly realized what he was thinking about. What kind of cycle was this? How could he take it seriously?

"Zhou Chen, let's assume for a moment that if the cycle you're talking about is true, then how do you know for sure that there's something wrong? After all, you were killed in the explosion three times. What made you think that this accident might not be an accident, but a human accident?"

Of course Zhou Chen couldn't be sure, he got the answer from the system.

In fact, he has been thinking about this problem all the time. If it is man-made, who is the most suspicious and which link has the most problems.

The system's task certainly could not be the answer to the question, so he gave another answer.

"Feel."

"Feel?"

The corner of Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched. It was becoming more and more unreliable. First it was a cycle, and now it's a feeling. Can we be a little materialistic?

"I know you won't believe it, but that's because you're not in a loop. When you're killed by explosions several times in a row, you'll start to use your imagination and think that even loops are possible. Why can't explosions be man-made? And I guess the reason we entered the loop is probably because of this explosion. Maybe God wants to stop the explosion through our hands; maybe only by stopping the explosion can we get out of the loop..."

Director Du couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he said to Zhang Cheng through the headset: "Old Zhang, stop talking to him about these meaningless things, and get something practical out of him."

Zhang Cheng remained calm on the surface and asked, "Well, I understand what you mean. Let's not talk about the cycle for now. Since you said it might be man-made, who do you suspect? Is it the passenger on the bus, the delivery man who ran a red light, the tanker driver, or someone else?"

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, both are possible, but I prefer the passengers on the bus."

"why?"

"It's simple. Since I was on the bus, it's more likely that the real murderer is on the bus."

Zhang Cheng was having a headache. Why couldn't he get past the loop?

"My thoughts are different from yours. If it was man-made, I think the delivery man is more likely to have caused the explosion. After all, it was because he ran a red light that caused the explosion."

Seeing that Zhang Cheng actually discussed this topic with him, Zhou Chen immediately became interested. He felt that Zhang Cheng was an experienced criminal policeman, and if he helped analyze the case, the possibility of finding the real murderer would be greater.

"If you are a food delivery driver, you have to be very precise with your timing, because you have to calculate the time when buses and tankers pass by. Buses are easy to deal with, as they run on this road every day. As long as you pay attention, you can figure out when they will arrive. But it is hard to say for tankers, as they are definitely not as punctual as buses, so it is hard to figure out when they will pass by."

"The most important thing is that the delivery man personally ran a red light and caused a traffic accident, which is equivalent to risking his life. If he really had these abilities, I don't think he would just be an ordinary delivery man, right?"

"Clap clap..."

Zhang Cheng clapped his hands and praised, "Your analysis makes sense. According to what you said, the possibility of it being a delivery man is indeed very low, at least lower than the people on the bus and the tanker. What about the tanker?"

Zhou Chen: "I saw it with my own eyes during the loop. The tanker truck did not violate any traffic regulations. It was the bus that hit it on its own initiative."

“It’s the cycle again.”

Zhang Cheng was helpless, but what Zhou Chen said was not wrong. According to the video footage at the scene, it was indeed the bus that hit the tanker truck.

"Okay, even if what you said makes sense, who do you think is the most suspicious among the passengers on the bus?"

Zhou Chen recalled carefully: "There were eleven people on the bus, including me. Sitting on the left were the driver, two uncles, an old lady, me, and in the last row, a man wearing a hat and a mask, wrapping himself up tightly. On the right sat a sturdy man, an old lady, Li Shiqing and the man with glasses. There was also a man in a flowered shirt standing in the front row, holding the handrail."

Zhang Cheng was shocked when he heard Zhou Chen's narration. After listening for so long, he finally heard the most useful clue. He immediately signaled his colleague next to him to write down every word.

"You actually remember all the people and where they sat. I'm very curious, why do you remember them so clearly?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Although I haven't received professional training like you police officers, I have a good memory and am very sensitive to numbers. Even if it's a long number, I can remember it almost exactly with just one glance. There are only about ten people on the bus, so this is really too easy for me."

Zhang Cheng then remembered Zhou Chen's investigation results. This person was a teacher in the Department of Mathematics at Jialin Normal University, and his title was associate professor. It was really unreasonable for an associate professor who was less than 30 years old not to have a good brain.

"Since you can remember everyone, who do you think is the most suspicious?"

In fact, Zhang Cheng still felt that Zhou Chen had the biggest problem, but if he wanted to get some information out of him, he had to slowly go along with Zhou Chen, and perhaps he could get useful information inadvertently.

Zhou Chen thought seriously for a moment again, his brain working frantically. With the penalty mechanism of the cyclic skill, he had to race against time. Only by getting more useful information during the cycle could he prevent the bus bombing and find the real culprit.

"Captain Zhang, I can't be sure who the suspect is because I don't know any of them, but if you can give me the basic information of all the passengers on the bus, I think I might be able to find the most suspicious person."

This was exactly why he went to the police station. He knew very well that it was impossible for him to find out the information of the passengers on the bus within a few hours by himself.

But it is different for the Public Security Bureau. As long as they want, they can definitely investigate it as quickly as possible. With the information and analysis, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

After listening to Zhou Chen's request, Zhang Cheng said nothing, just smiled, asked a few more questions, and left the interrogation room.

Back in the monitoring room, Director Du asked Zhang Cheng, "Old Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Cheng has been thinking: "I can't say for sure. Although what they said about the cycle is nonsense, I really can't be sure whether this explosion was a traffic accident or man-made. The matter is too serious to listen to one-sided statements."

Director Du nodded and asked, "Then do you think Zhou Chen and Li Shiqing are suspicious? According to the investigation and interviews, both of them have good reputations, especially Zhou Chen, who has a bright future. Could he have any problems?"

"It's hard to say. It's really hard to say. From my conversation with him, he is a very scheming person, but that doesn't mean he has problems. What's even more strange to me is that he is clearly talking nonsense, but when the analysis may be artificial, he actually analyzes it seriously and doesn't seem like he is just talking nonsense."

Zhang Cheng expressed his thoughts and finally sighed, "I think we should investigate further and not let them leave the bureau for the time being."

Director Du said, "Okay, I think so too. Let's do a drug test on them first and then ask them after the results come out."

Chapter 539: Preventing a car accident and then exploding

Zhou Chen looked at Zhang Cheng in front of him with astonishment, his eyes full of questions.

Zhang Cheng said calmly, "Don't be nervous. This is our rule. We will use drug tests to determine whether you have taken allergy medications. Drug tests can be done by either blood or urine tests. Which one would you choose, or both?"

The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched. Of course he knew what drug testing was, but what he knew most about was drug testing for athletes.

When he arrived at the police station for questioning, he was told that he had to take a drug test. He had never heard of this before. Perhaps he was just uninformed.

"Let's draw blood."

He glanced back at the clock in the interrogation room and saw that it was already past seven o'clock. According to the system, in a few hours, he would have to enter the cycle again.

"Officer Zhang, what do you think of my suggestion? I'm about to enter the loop again. Give me the information of those passengers. Next time I enter the loop, I will definitely be able to prevent the explosion."
