The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 148 Time Bomb

boom!

There was a loud bang.

A black car walking on the road instantly burned into a ball of fire, and the flames soared into the sky, reflecting the fiery red sky.

This was in the middle of the night.

People on both sides of the road were frightened by the loud noise and woke up from their dreams. When they opened the door and saw this scene, they were all stunned.

The fire was too big and there was no way to save it, but someone could vaguely be seen struggling inside. After a while, there was no movement.

……

French Concession, Tongfuli, Julaida Road.

Wu Sibao, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, sweat dripping from his neck, his mouth open, and his cheeks gasping for air, as if he was fished out of the water.

"Wu Sibao, why are you so angry? You don't sleep at night..." A woman's cursing voice sounded.

She Aizhen, who was wearing pink satin pajamas, sat up, reached out and patted Wu Sibao's arm, and was shocked when she found that her hands were wet: "Sibao, what are you doing, why are you sweating so much? "

"Azhen, I just had a nightmare." Wu Sibao explained.

"Nightmare, stop it. It's just you. As long as you don't harm anyone in the dream, why are you afraid that others will harm you?" She Aizhen knew her man too well.

"No, I dreamed that our brother Zhen was burned to death..."

As soon as he said this, he heard a rapid ringing of the phone from the study room outside, which scared Wu Sibao and even She Aizhen felt something was wrong.

Who called me home in the middle of the night?

Could something really happen?

"Old Wu, hurry up and answer the phone." She Aizhen saw Wu Sibao sitting still and kicked him.

Wu Sibao jumped out of bed, ran to the study, and picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Wu Sibao."

At this time, She Aizhen also got off the bed and followed her into the study in her slippers. She also wanted to know who made this call this late at night to disturb the couple's sleep.

Wu Sibao, who answered the phone, seemed to be stunned by the content of the call. He forgot to hang up the phone until the "beep" busy signal came from inside.

"Si Bao, what happened? Why are you looking worse than before?" She Aizhen quickly stepped forward and tilted her head to ask.

"Guozhen is dead. Just now, the car he was riding in exploded and instantly burned into a fireball." Wu Sibao said slightly absentmindedly.

"What?" When She Aizhen heard this, the hairs on her back stood up instantly, and a cold sweat instantly fell from her forehead.

"Is it an accident?"

"I don't know. The people from the patrol room have already gone over to deal with it. The specific results may not be known until dawn." Wu Sibao was completely sleepless at this moment.

"Could it be..."

"Don't make random guesses. At this time, we must first figure out how Guo Zhen died, and then we can talk about other things." She Aizhen said.

The idea in Wu Sibao's mind was not suppressed, but grew crazily. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt.

……

"Died, when did it happen?" Cheng Mo received a call from Claire the next morning when he went to work, and then started his performance, "How did you die?"

"The car exploded and caught fire, and he was burned to death?"

"It's not unusual for an accident to happen on such a hot day..."

"Accident, do you think it was an accident?" Claire asked meaningfully.

"It's not an accident. Could it be that someone was murdered?" Cheng Mo asked.

"Someone saw you at the Green Island Club last night, and you had an argument with him and almost got into a fight?" Claire said.

"Yes, I admit that I went to the Green Island Club just to block him. I also had a dispute with him, but his death had nothing to do with me. I wanted to get rid of him, and there were ten thousand ways. Why should I break the law?" " Come to the Jing'an Temple Police Station and cooperate with us in taking notes. This is a big deal, so you'd better be mentally prepared." Claire said and hung up the phone.

Cheng Mo knew that if a case happened, the patrol room would definitely investigate it. The conflict between him and Zhang Guozhen at the Green Island Club would definitely be noticed, and it was inevitable that he should be asked to assist in the investigation.

So, he has to go.

"Lei Gang, come to Jing'an Temple to catch the house." Cheng Mo greeted Lei Gang, and the two of them drove to Jing'an Temple to catch the house.

Cheng Mo's identity naturally meant that he didn't need to go to the interrogation room. He went directly to Claire's office.

"Cheng, because you had a verbal dispute with Zhang Guozhen at the Green Island Club last night, you are highly suspected of his death."

"What a big deal, I wasn't at the scene, not to mention the car caught fire and exploded. It might have been an accident. For accidents, you can't have to find someone to take the blame. Besides, who is Zhang Guozhen? He wants his life. There are too many people, otherwise why would he always bring four or five bodyguards with him when he goes out?"

"Have you investigated Zhang Guozhen?"

"He was the one behind the kidnapping of my fiancée. Isn't it normal for me to investigate him?" Cheng Mo asked back.

"You have no motive for killing?"

"I admit that I have, but having a motive to kill does not mean that I will kill someone. To kill, you must pay attention to evidence. Now that the cause of Zhang Guozhen's death has not been figured out, you called me to record a confession. Does this count as identifying me as the person who killed him? Cheng Mo asked back.

"Because the whole thing is such a coincidence. Your fiancée has just been kidnapped. The instigator behind the scenes was Zhang Guozhen. We were about to bring him back for investigation, but he died mysteriously in a car explosion." Claire said.

"Since we all have evidence to arrest him and put him in jail, why should I bother?"

"Then why did you go to the Green Island Club to meet him?"

"Zhang Guozhen is just a chess piece in the hands of others. Although he instigated his men to kidnap my fiancée, I have no grudge against him. It was obviously someone who instigated it. I want to know who is behind him." Cheng Mo explained.

"Have you offended anyone?"

"You are asking knowingly."

"Well, you do have the motive of revenge, but murder is not necessarily the case. Besides, you only had contact with the deceased at the Green Island Club, and there was no direct conflict afterwards. It seems that this case has nothing to do with you at the moment." Claire He nodded, his investigation was just a routine matter. In fact, the Jing'an Temple patrol room also had a headache for Zhang Guozhen and his group.

They have people, guns, and a strong gang background. Even the patrol room has to be wary of them.

For Zhang Guozhen, a local bully who was running rampant, it would be a great pleasure for them to die.

"With the death of Zhang Guozhen, the clues about the person behind the kidnapping of my fiancée have been cut off. It may not be impossible for someone behind the scenes to kill and silence her." Cheng Mo said.

"Your idea is possible." Claire nodded.

"I'm just providing an idea for solving the case. As for the specific case investigation, that's your business, Detective Claire, so I won't interfere." Cheng Mo said.

……

"Inspector Claire, the on-site inspection has been completed. The car was burned into an iron frame, and the four people inside were all burned to bones!"

"What was the cause of the explosion and fire?" Claire asked.

"What is certain now is that this was a man-made explosion and fire, but what caused it is still unknown." The investigating detective reported.

"No explosives found?"

"No, but there is a burnt watch case left. It does not belong to anyone in the car. It is suspected to be left by the murderer."

"Time bomb?" Claire was shocked when she heard this.
