After the car stalled, the driver inside seemed to try to start the car several times, but the car just shook and failed to start.

What was even more abrupt was that smoke suddenly began to fill the interior of the car, and flames inexplicably appeared inside the car.

"A car is on fire!"

"What!?"

"Over here! That's the car! Hurry!!"

Suddenly, a car caught fire in a crowded traffic flow. The surrounding drivers began to avoid it, and the plainclothes police officers also changed their expressions and rushed forward immediately.

In the white car, the driver was banging on the windshield frantically - he didn't know what was going on, the car suddenly locked and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the door.

A group of plainclothes police officers were anxious to rescue him from the burning car and started breaking the windows with tools.

Bai Ma Tan looked at the time on his pocket watch.

There are 11 seconds or 26 seconds left...

There was nothing unusual around.

At this time, a tall police officer in front of the white car grabbed a fire extinguisher that his teammate had found from somewhere, smashed the car window with all his strength, and pulled out the terrified driver trapped inside.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The driver, whose face was covered in dust from the thick smoke in the car, thanked the other party in a panic.

19:05:44...

Bai Ma Tan watched with bated breath as the second hand jumped to 45. Nothing unusual happened, but he didn't let his guard down at all. He soon noticed that the police's attention was completely drawn to the driver.

"No, the other party might just be a cover!"

He realized it instantly.

Fortunately, there were some smart elites among the police officers who realized this at the first time and informed their teammates.

Bah! ! !

A sharp braking sound came from behind the intersection twenty meters away. A small truck was driving fast and immediately stepped on the brakes when it found that the intersection was a bit congested.

The police officers' attention was subconsciously drawn over, and some of them even wanted to get closer to investigate the situation.

At this moment—

boom! ! ! ! !

The white car suddenly exploded for no apparent reason.

Amidst the sudden impact and flames, a palm-sized piece of iron flew out and pierced into the eye socket and brain of the driver who had just been rescued and was a little dusty.

The time is 19:06:00.

Chapter 228: Since there is a murderer, there is a possibility of finding and arresting him

“Are you kidding me…?”

When the man hit by the shrapnel fell down helplessly, a sense of absurdity surged into everyone's heart.

what is this?

He died just like that?

The screams coming from all directions failed to wake the police from their confusion. They just watched the man fall down and soon became silent, and suddenly became at a loss.

No murderer

No suspects

Even the entire process of the deceased's death is illogical——

Everyone stood there as if they had lost their direction. They looked at each other, feeling a sense of inexplicable horror creeping up their spines.

Is it a coincidence?

Could it really be just a coincidence?

"Call an ambulance first!"

"Ah, yes! An ambulance!"

The police were in a panic.

Some of them immediately took out their police officer IDs to evacuate the people around them, while others immediately called an ambulance.

The White Horse Detective ran straight towards the corpse.

He squatted down in front of the dead man's body, and after just a cursory examination, the expression on his face became stiff.

The metal fragments penetrated directly into the brain through the eye sockets——

No.

No other flaws can be found.

The other party actually died in front of everyone's eyes because of such a ridiculous accident!

The white horse detective stared at the corpse on the ground.

He tried desperately to recall all the details he had seen in that minute, racking his brains and unraveling everything, from the traffic light going out to the traffic jam... sweat even broke out on his forehead.

"Stop it. Stop dwelling on this."

A hand rested on Bai Matan's shoulder.

suddenly,

Bai Ma Tan fell directly to the ground.

He always acted like a young master or a nobleman in front of others, but now even his eyes looked a little confused...

"That rascal--"

"Well, there's no flaw."

Lin Jiashu's calm voice fell into his ears.

Bai Matan looked up and saw that Lin Jiashu's eyes were also fixed on the corpse on the ground. Those black eyes seemed to want to firmly imprint the tragic situation of the deceased in his eyes.

Bai Ma Tan could vaguely sense his unwillingness.

This is probably the first time that Lin Jiashu has suffered a Waterloo in his detective career?

——The message that the murderer left for them in the previous cases was more of an invitation for them to come and be ridiculed!

Even a detective like Lin couldn't find any flaws. Is this really something that human power can do?

Bai Ma Tan's eyes were covered with a gloom.

The ambulance arrived at the scene quickly.

The dead man's body was covered with a white sheet and carried on a stretcher, and the car where the explosion occurred was immediately taken away for inspection.

Next, the police and the task force will investigate the man’s identity and past experience, as well as the car he drove and the route he took.

"And the traffic light suddenly malfunctioned..."

"Even during those five minutes, the license plate numbers of the vehicles involved in the traffic jam can be recorded."

"Although the possibility is small, what if the murderer is also an important link in this accident?"

Lin Jiashu spoke these things calmly, and the plainclothes police present also subconsciously made explanations based on his words.

Bai Ma Tan was silent for a while.

He looked at Lin Jiashu, who was just thinking seriously and seemed unaffected, and couldn't help but say: "Lin."

"Ok?"

"...Do you think we can really catch a guy like that?"

"maybe."

"..."

"But no matter how bizarre, coincidental, or unbelievable the method, it cannot conceal the fact that this is a murder case."

Lin Jiashu looked at the obviously shaken Bai Ma Detective with a steady gaze and said, "Since there's a murderer, there's a possibility of finding and arresting him... Even if we can't find any flaws now, or even have few avenues for investigation, we can't just sit there and let the murderer go unpunished."

"……you're right."

After Bai Ma Tan responded in silence for a moment, his face, which had just been confused and embarrassed, suddenly broke into a smile: "You look so motivated. Are you angry about being ridiculed?"

"Yeah, this is the first time I've lost face like this."

Lin Jiashu nodded in acknowledgment.

In Hakuba's opinion, the murderer...the accidental murderer was simply fooling them.

He lured them here, but they could only participate in the script he had arranged throughout the whole process. They could not do anything, and could not even predict who was going to be killed.

"I was thinking, if we had blocked this street with police force before this happened—"

"This might disrupt the murderer's plan and render it meaningless," Lin Jiashu replied, "but we still have no way of knowing who the murderer is, and there's no telling if such an action could lead to even worse consequences."

"yes……"

Bai Ba Tan also thought of this.

If the murderer is really a perfectionist with a strong desire for performance, once his carefully planned perfect killing method is ruined, he might do something extreme.

Bai Ma Tan's cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the contact and immediately walked aside to answer the call.

Lin Jiashu was observing his surroundings.

He could notice that several of the plainclothes policemen were already frightened.

After all, the "murderer" might be hiding in the dark and observing them. Once the identity of the task force is exposed, they might be the next victims of an accident.

A moment later, Bai Ma, who had just finished his phone call, came over.

"Lin, my father said he hopes to find time to meet with you. He wants to hear your thoughts."

"Ok."

"It might only take two days. Is that okay with you?"

"...Except for weekends, I should have time."

"Ok."

At this point, Bai Ma's expression turned serious again: "All we can do now is wait for the results of the police investigation. I will share the follow-up investigation content with you."

"Maybe I'll join the task force before then."

"……makes sense."

Bai Ma Tan suddenly felt helpless - it was obvious from the fact that his father ordered him not to go to the scene, and he was afraid that he would not be able to join the task force.

Lin Jiashu noticed this and just smiled and said, "It might be because you are still underage."

"..."

Lin Jiashu soon parted ways with Bai Matan.

All right.

Next is the rare free time——

Lin Jiashu smiled and called Yoko Okino.

"Hello, Yoshiki-kun?" A happy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is the shoot over yet, Yoko?"

"Yeah! I'll probably be done in half an hour."

"Then I'll pick you up. How about we go to that restaurant you said you wanted to go to last time?"

Lin Jiashu finished speaking and hung up the phone soon after.
