Original sin

Shen Chen drove the car on the way home.

The phone rang, an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Come to the old house." A man's voice came from the phone, and then he hung up the phone.

Shen Shen froze for a moment, the car stopped on the side of the road.

old house?He was wondering where the so-called old house was, and suddenly he thought of the location of his original home where the old beggar lived.

But the voice didn't belong to the old beggar. He glanced at the phone number again, and after thinking about it, he dialed it, and the connection was connected soon there.

"Who are you?" Shen Shen asked.

"You'll know when you come, by the way, don't bother to look up this phone number, it's unnecessary." After speaking, the phone hung up again.

Shen Shen turned the car around and walked towards the direction of the old house. His heart was full of doubts. He was very curious about who the person who asked him to go to the old house was.He had some vague expectations, could it be his father?

It's not that he can't even hear his father's voice, it's because the voice of the man on the phone has obviously been changed.

Soon the car arrived at the old residential area, Shen Chen stopped in front of the old unit building, and then went upstairs.

However, his heart was still full of vigilance. When he came to the door, he knocked lightly, but there was no response.

He took two steps back, stopped before the stairs, and slowly took out his mobile phone to dial the number just now.

"Wait a minute, I'm not here yet." The person on the phone said a word and hung up.

Shen Chen frowned, who the hell is this?

After another seven or eight minutes, the phone rang.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Shen Shen was a little anxious, this kind of waiting was the most tormenting.

Another man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Captain Shen, if you want to see him, come to Taoxi Garden alone."

Shen Shen was a little dazed, what's the situation?Soon he realized that something might have happened to the person who called him just now, and he should have been kidnapped by this person.

Is all this true?Or is this a trap aimed at oneself?

Unlike, if the other party wants to lie to me, there is no need to be so troublesome. The first call asked me to come to the old house, didn't I already come?If they want to do something, it's not the same here, why do they have to let themselves change places.

It seems that something happened to that person.

Shen Chen said, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that if you don't do what I ask, he will die. Captain Shen, remember, come alone, don't play any tricks, we can see your every move."

Hearing what he said, Shen Shen looked around subconsciously, but he didn't find anything unusual.

When he got in the car, he hesitated a little. Should he go alone, or should he find two helpers?He didn't think about calling his colleagues in the bureau. Once that is the same as calling the police, if the other party really arrests someone, then he will anger the other party, and they may hurt the hostages by then.

But he also knows that it is very likely that the situation will be difficult to control by himself. His purpose is to save people, not to send them to the door to be a lamb to be slaughtered.

So he called Long Xuejun, and he asked Long Xuejun to rush to Taoxi Garden immediately, and told Long Xuejun about the matter.Did Long Xuejun mean to call Ye Tianheng? After thinking about it for a while, multiple helpers are also good for safety reasons, so he asked Long Xuejun to contact Ye Tianheng, but he told Long Xuejun not to move around when they arrived, and waited. his news.

After the arrangement was made, Shen Shen was relieved. He believed that with Long Xuejun and Ye Tianheng present, no matter how powerful the other party was, he would be sure to save them.

When he came to the gate of Taoxiyuan Community, Shen Chen called again.

"Get out of the car, and then walk into the community, the 1502th floor of Unit [-], Building [-], Room [-]." The other party was very straightforward, and hung up after speaking.

Shen Chen parked the car at the gate of the community, edited a text message and sent it to Long Xuejun.

I don't know if Long Xuejun and the others have arrived, and soon Long Xuejun sent a text message: "Already in the community, you'd better wait for us to go up together."

Shen Chen replied to the message: "No, the other party should be closely monitoring me. I'll go up first, and you can figure out a way for yourself."

Shen Chen can't think of a better way now, so he can only go up to see it alone, he is wondering who the other party is, and he dares to play like this even though he knows his identity.

Soon Shen Chen arrived at the 1502th floor of Building [-]. The door of [-] was ajar. He hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in. He did not carry a gun. on the body.

But he was still very careful, moving slowly and vigilantly.

"Woooo!"

He heard someone's cry, and then saw a man tied to a chair in the living room. The man was wearing a black hood, and he couldn't tell who this man was.

Apart from this bound man, there was no one else in the house.

Shen Chen didn't rush forward because he saw the time bomb strapped to the man's body.

This scene is too familiar. Wasn't Luo Xiaoyu also kidnapped and tied with a bomb?

Looking at the time indication above, there are only 23 minutes left before the explosion.

Shen Shen took a deep breath, and slowly walked in front of the man, he took off the man's hood, and was stunned.

In front of him was a woman, a woman he knew very well, Xu Jing.

No wonder, he felt something was wrong with the "woo woo" sound just now.

Shen Chen took off the cloth ball in her mouth, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call. He is not good at dismantling bombs. He wanted to call for backup, but there were only 22 minutes left, even if he could call in time Support, it will take a certain amount of time for the bomb disposal experts to rush over. It takes at least 15 minutes to drive from the provincial government office. If there is any delay, they will not have time to dismantle the bomb at all.

"It's too late to call now!" Xu Jing said.

Xu Jing was telling the truth, but now Shen Chen didn't know what to do!

At this time, Long Xuejun and Ye Tianheng came, and they were shocked when they saw the situation in front of them, but Long Xuejun stepped forward to check the bomb.

"It feels so familiar!" Long Xuejun said, Shen Chen remembered that Luo Xiaoyu had been tied to a bomb before, and he asked, "Is it the same type of bomb?"

Long Xuejun's memory is very good, he nodded after looking carefully: "It should be exactly the same."

Only then did Shen Chen feel relieved, but he didn't dare to be careless. You must know that this is a human life, and who is Xu Jing?If something really happened to Xu Jing, then things would explode.

"you sure?"

"Sure, I can handle it, I still remember how to cut these threads!" Long Xuejun nodded with certainty.

He looked at Shen Chen and Ye Tianheng: "You guys go out first, it's better to evacuate the people in the building." Although it's working hours now, it's impossible that there is no one in the whole building.

Shen Shen nodded, and he said to Xu Jing: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Xu Jing smiled at him. In fact, he still has a lot to ask Xu Jing, but now he has no time at all. He explained that he took out his mobile phone and called the bureau. It is impossible for him not to report such a thing, and the evacuated people must also get help, otherwise he and Ye Tianheng would definitely not be able to keep busy.

Tan Ke was also surprised after receiving Shen Shen's call. He said that he would let the nearest police station arrive immediately, and at the same time he would notify the bomb disposal experts of the provincial department. Although there was no time, this was a necessary procedure. It is also good to give Long Xuejun some guidance from the sidelines, even though the bomb is really the same as the one that Long Xuejun dismantled last time, but he dare not be careless.

Shen Chen and Ye Tianheng started the evacuation. This building has 22 floors in total, but the remaining time is only 7 minutes. evacuation.But they can only do as much as they can, and leave the rest to luck, that is, whether Long Xuejun can dismantle the bomb.

"Are you nervous?" Long Xuejun asked Xu Jing.

Xu Jing nodded, she would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous.

Long Xuejun asked again: "Why are you here?"

Xu Jing replied: "I don't know, I just remember driving to work in the morning, and I almost ran into a person when I got out of the community. Wake up and be here."

Long Xuejun nodded, and then the scissors in his hands began to cut the thread. Seeing that his hands were shaking a little, Xu Jing became even more nervous.

Long Xuejun took a deep breath, and then asked: "Then it wasn't you who called Shen Chen to go to the old house?"

"What old house?" Xu Jing was really at a loss, and Long Xuejun had already got the answer.

He had already cut the second wire at this moment, but luckily the bomb didn't react at all.

Xu Jing stopped talking, she was worried that she would affect Long Xuejun.

Long Xuejun didn't cut the third thread rashly, because he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the third thread.

At this time, Long Xuejun's phone rang, and it was a request for a video call.He glanced at it, and it showed Wei Diping's name, and he remembered that it was the bomb disposal expert from the provincial department who taught him to cut the thread last time.

"Hello!" Long Xuejun pressed the connect button.Wei Diping's appearance appeared on the screen, he saw the sweat on Long Xuejun's face, and he asked: "What's the situation now, let me see the bomb!"

Long Xuejun turned the camera around and said to the bomb on Xu Jing's body: "The third line seems to be slightly different from the last one, so I didn't dare to do it."

"Well, this is a reverse twisted wire. Try cutting the fourth wire first, and then go back and cut this one. Remember, you must keep your hands steady, and the fourth wire and this one must not touch the wire."

Long Xuejun responded, and then he supported the third one, gently opened it to a certain position, and the scissors cut off the fourth one at once.

In the video, Wei Diping's expression was also very solemn. He was relieved when he saw the fourth thread was cut, and Long Xuejun began to cut the third thread with scissors.

"I really didn't expect to become a bomb disposal expert again." Long Xuejun smiled. He found that Xu Jing was too nervous, and he wanted to adjust the atmosphere.

Xu Jing also smiled: "I thought I was going to die."

"By the way, you are blindfolded, how do you know it's too late?"

"The man said that the bomb would explode in three hours. When he tied me here, I looked at the clock on the wall. When Shen Shen took off his hood, I realized that two and a half hours had passed. "Xu Jing is a caring person, especially as a reporter, she still pays close attention to some details of the surrounding environment.

There are three wires left, two yellow and one red.

When Long Xuejun was about to cut the fifth wire, Wei Diping's voice came over: "Cut the red wire directly, don't worry about the two red wires."

Long Xuejun didn't know much about the principle of the time bomb. In his opinion, this bomb was similar to the last one. Even at this point, he felt that there would be no mistakes in cutting it according to the last method. But he never thought that Wei Diping reminded him to cut the red one directly, he was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?"

"Of course, do you really think it's exactly the same as the last bomb? There are twisted wires, which means that the last few wires are connected in reverse. Cut it, it will be fine, it's luck, the bomb you encountered twice Fortunately, none of them have too much technical content, otherwise, hehe!"

Long Xuejun wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying that there is no technical content, what should we do if it is complicated?

As soon as he went down with the scissors, the red line broke, but something happened. The timer should have stopped, but it jumped very fast. Wei Liping was taken aback. Long Xuejun knew that the time of the bomb was running fast. , he asked: "What should I do? Tell me quickly!"

Xu Jing was also shocked, she was not stupid, of course she knew that neither she nor Long Xuejun would survive once the time ran out.

"You go!" she said to Long Xuejun.

Long Xuejun ignored her and urged Wei Diping, who was stunned for a while: "Well, one of the two yellow lines should be cut off, but if it is wrong..." It turned out that he He was not sure, he didn't know which of the two yellow lines to cut, so Long Xuejun just turned off the video.

There are still 5 minutes left in the time, but at such a fast speed, it is estimated that it will explode in at most 2 minutes.

Long Xuejun was not calm anymore: "I don't know if they have finished evacuating."

Xu Jing stared at Long Xuejun: "Hurry up, what are you doing here?"

Long Xuejun smiled wryly: "What do you do when I'm gone? When he asks me, what should I do if I need someone? Only cut one of the two threads, isn't it a [-]-[-] winning rate?"

Xu Jing gritted her teeth, she knew that no matter how much she urged Long Xuejun, she would never leave.

Long Xuejun scissors is ready, choose one of the two, now he can only gamble on luck.

"Don't worry, our luck shouldn't be that bad, trust me!" Long Xuejun was still laughing, he was cheering up Xu Jing, but he didn't even believe himself, and he said again: "Damn, next time I say I don’t want to be a bomb disposal expert anymore, what this thing plays is the heartbeat! Sooner or later, this thing will scare me to death. You know? Now I have a psychological shadow when I see this red electronic timer.”

While speaking, he suddenly cut towards a yellow thread, the timer stopped, and Long Xuejun fell to the ground, knowing that he and Xu Jing had walked through the gate of hell just now.

The phone rang again, and it was still from Wei Diping. He answered the phone: "It's done." He realized that he was really exhausted, and Wei Diping seemed relieved on the other end of the phone: "I think you should You have the potential to eat in this profession, how about I find a way and give you a special trick?"

"Get out!" Long Xuejun didn't give him a good face. This kind of thing has been enough twice, and he doesn't want to really die on it one day.

Xu Jing also seemed to have been drained of energy, and leaned on the back of the chair softly: "Hurry up and untie it for me."
