"By plane, you can fly 600 kilometers in one hour, far away from your hometown. But it is also an hour, but there is no way to make a table of delicious dishes." Shao Lao said softly: "One hour You can do a lot of things, but sometimes you can’t do anything in an hour. Since I already know what you want to do, I will naturally have a way to save people, but before that, I want to confirm my guess.”

Shi Xu held the bomb's remote control tightly in his hand, as if he could press the button on the remote control at any time. Both Jiang He and Shao Lao noticed that there was only one button on the remote control. That is, all bombs are controlled by this one button.

"The people you really want to kill aren't the 100,000 people in this square. It's these believers that you painstakingly selected. In your words, these people are righteous and numb. You deliberately created three loopholes. case, pick out who you want to pick. If these self-righteous people just spend a little more time searching, they'll find out the truth."

"I prefer indifferent and numb people to those who are just and numb." Shi Xu smiled and nodded: "Don't you think? When a nation loses its ability to think, then what will happen, I think ancient and modern You have seen all the historical endings at home and abroad. This is really a terrifying thing. Don't you see this trend in the recent international events?"

"I know you want to say that the era of elites mastering the world has reached a point of decline." Shao Lao said: "This matter has been discussed before. You are afraid of such a world, I am not afraid. That nine percent Fifteen people should have the right to choose."

Shi Xu shook his head: "Thinking about it this way, we are just worried about the two extremes we worry about. Our worldview is the same, but the methodology is different. This may be the most interesting part of the world."

Jiang He saw the watch on Shi Xu's wrist, it was only forty minutes before the new year.

Jiang He said, "You all look to the future, but I only care about the present. Things always have to be done one by one, so there's no point in playing tricks here. If you want to kill, I'll stop you from killing. It's that simple. Reason. Since you want to kill your believers and don't want to affect the rest of the people, then the bomb must be on the believers, and it is a key part. And the dog collar you put on them, that little box , is where the explosives are loaded."

"To be precise, it's not bombs, but fireworks." Shi Xu buried his whole body in the chair he was sitting in: "Isn't there a fireworks show tonight? It's an electronic firearm. When the time is up, it will ignite the gunpowder inside, and then with a bong, the head will explode with the fireworks. Thinking about that scene, it should be very interesting, right?"

"Fireworks?" Shao Lao looked out the window and said, "Fireworks are beautiful things. They are black powder. They are very unstable. They will explode when there is an open flame."

Shi Xu said, "You have to trust my control over gunpowder."

"After the gunpowder exploded, the metal pieces would explode, pierce their necks, and cut off their carotid arteries. By then, even Hua Tuo wouldn't be able to save them, right?" Jiang He added.

"Yes." Shi Xu still didn't dare to show his face, he still hid his whole body behind the walls of the cafe, in case the sniper outside might kill him with one shot, even if he might have decided to put himself life was handed over.

"Actually, I want to know, if I let you out, how are you going to save these people, that's what I want to ask you." Shi Xu said.

Shao Lao looked at Jiang He: "Jiang He is surprisingly calm and smart, he is the smartest person I have ever met. His smartness lies in the fact that he is never emotional, even in the worst situation. Face it very calmly, isn't that a good point for me to say?"

Jiang He nodded.

Shi Xu laughed: "Old man, are you praising Jiang He as a smart person, or are you insinuating that he is an emotionless animal?"

"Or both." Shao Lao looked at Jiang He and said seriously, "He always knows what to do when and what to do. So let's hear how Jiang He feels, I think he must know what to do. manage."

Jiang He nodded and said, "Since you are called believers, those people are the ones who listen to you the most. To prevent exposure, every time you record a video, you have a mask to cover your face, and you use a voice changer to change yourself. You have never shown your true face, in other words, you can be their leader, and I can be their leader. You should understand that the mask is just a symbol, and it doesn’t matter who the person behind it is.”

Having said this, Jiang He suddenly laughed: "And you have gone through layers of selection, and you have chosen the person with the least ability to think, but also the most obedient person. As long as we send a video in the same way, we let these people What people do, they will do."

Shi Xu clapped a hand on the table: "Haha, it's a brilliant idea, a really brilliant idea. But are such people really worth saving? Even without me, there will be other people who will control them. And their control, Better than me. They can use these people to do whatever they want, these people don't have the ability to think, they don't know that things are constantly evolving, and they don't know that the world is not black and white. Good people can use them to do A bad thing, a bad person may not use them to do a good thing."

"This is the most terrifying thing about these people." Shi Xu said: "People who have no faith are not scary. What is scary is this group of people who easily have faith. The inferiority of human beings is all reflected in them. You must save them. Yes, is that kind of person?"

Jiang He said, "I don't want to think about the things you mentioned, but I always feel that it is better to have a choice than to have no choice. It's just that there are still 20 minutes left, and I think if I don't go out, I'm afraid it will be too long. That's too late."

"I think so too." Shao Lao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "The last question, who is the replacement you're looking for?"

Shi Xu shook his head: "I didn't find anyone, I just made some posts on the Internet, designed some mysteries, and taught me what Wei Demian has taught me over the years, including biology, chemistry, physics, mechanics, psychology, and logic. Wait, wait, everything is recorded in a few diaries. The person who can solve the puzzle and get these diaries must be smart people. Along with these diaries, there are deposits in the black market. As long as he dares to spend this black money, Naturally, he couldn't look back."

"Actually, I think one person's heart is enough to touch another person's heart." Shi Xu said: "No matter who he is, whether he is a good person or a bad person, a man or a woman. The seeds have been left, and naturally there will be many people. Water him. Jiang He is right, a crime consultant is just a symbol, I can be, you can be, others can be. So every generation will have criminal policemen like you, and naturally there will be criminal consultants like me, It's really interesting."

"Okay." Shao Lao stretched his back and said, "I have finished asking what I should ask, and there are still fifteen minutes left. I think the time is still too late."

When the two were still confused, Shao Lao suddenly didn't know what to throw at Shi Xu. Jiang He noticed that he was about to press the button subconsciously, but just as he was about to press it, he seemed to have discovered what was thrown at him, and he abruptly withdrew his hand.

Jiang He finally noticed that it wasn't anything else, it was the collar he had removed from his neck earlier, and the small boxy box in front of the collar contained the gunpowder that could just kill a person. dosage.

The collar naturally landed on Shi Xu, and at this time, Elder Shao jumped out like a snake, and Jiang He quickly chased after him. His target was naturally the remote control in Shi Xu's hand. Shi Xu bounced like a frightened cat, but he didn't dare to hide to the side. Shi Xu naturally knew that once he fell into a position with a wide field of vision, he was naturally facing a bullet from a sniper.

Shi Xu suddenly understood what Mr. Shao was doing, and he was ready to press the button again.

But no matter how fast a person is, they can't be faster than pressing a button with one finger. Coming here today is a big gamble. He may have prepared that he would not leave alive, but there is no doubt that Shao Lao won the bet. Shi Xu didn't press the button for the first time, then he never got the chance to press it again.

Because at the next moment, a shining light suddenly appeared in front of Jiang He's eyes, and Jiang He's eyes could hardly be opened. With his eyes closed, Jiang He suddenly realized that it was the light of fireworks. He looked out the window suddenly, the fireworks show had not started yet, but the crowd had already been commotion.

Fifteen minutes to the new year.

But why are there fireworks in a cafe?

Jiang He thought about the thing Shao Lao threw out before, as well as what Shao Lao said to him before.

"Jiang He is surprisingly calm and smart. He is the smartest person I've ever met. His smartness lies in the fact that he is never emotional. Even when faced with the worst situation, he can face it calmly. Am I right?"

Shao Lao gave Jiang He a vaccination in advance.

After the flash, Jiang He looked at the two people in the cafe again, Shao Lao and Shi Xu were both lying on the side, while a piece of metal was stuck in their necks. Exactly as he had guessed before, the fragments cut off their carotid arteries, and even if Hua Tuo were alive, they wouldn't be able to live for long.

Jiang He's eyes hadn't recovered from the flash, and the blood he saw was also white.

He always felt that this scene seemed to have been seen before.
