There are still 85 hours until the final explosion.

When Shi Le came out of the office, Qi Lin had already sat back at his desk pretending that he didn't hear anything.

"Senior, I told the director! The director helped us contact the subway department so that we can enter the subway for investigation." Shi Le said, "But the director also has a request, and this matter must be as low-key as possible. If you don't know about the bomb Before it is true or false, it must be kept secret from anyone to avoid panic.”

Qi Lin understands the truth.

"The two of us should investigate first and determine the bomb first." Qi Lin took the notice letter and read it, "It only mentioned the subway, not the time of the explosion, and the subway is so big, I don't know it's in the subway The explosion above or the explosion in the tunnel."

"If you want to be sure, you can only visit one line at a time." Shi Le found a map of the Qingcheng subway line on the Internet, and printed it out on A4 paper.

"This is too inefficient. It would be terrible if it exploded during the investigation." Qi Lin narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, thinking that this project could not be completed by two people.Just when he was about to find Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang called from the landline.

"Squad, someone reported to the police that a bomb was found in the subway, at the terminal of Line [-]. I have already called the EOD team, and they will send someone to rush there now."

The speed was too fast, the murderer was already in action in less than half an hour from the notice letter.

"Shi Le, it's time to go." Qi Lin picked up the hat on the table and put it on. Before he had walked a few steps, he saw the media reporters rushing to the door through the window.

It's really as fast as the murderer.

"Just now I promised the director not to spread this matter, but the reporter came so soon." Shi Le rubbed his swollen temples.

After thinking about it, I know that this is definitely not the wind, but the murderer's arrangement in advance.Otherwise, how could the news from the reporter come so quickly in the call to the police just now?

It seems that the shadow behind the scenes has already planned to make this matter a big deal.

"I heard that the police received a warning letter about the explosion today, is it true?"

"Do the police think that the bomb discovered at the subway station just now and what was predicted in the notice letter are the same thing?"

"What do the police think the murderer will do next?"

As soon as they left the gate of the police station, the reporters swarmed up and surrounded the gate tightly.

Qi Lin spotted Huang Yuanliang behind him from the corner of his eye, and waved to the reporters, "I am not in charge of this case, but the criminal policeman at the back. Ask him, I don't know."

After speaking, he took Shi Le's hand and moved against the flow of people to his car.

"Huh, there are so many people." Shi Le slammed the door shut.Panting heavily, "The police station can be so lively."

"Actually, the excitement is the majority. It's just that the previous few cases have not been spread. If you come earlier, you can often encounter this scene." Qi Lin turned over and brought two bottles of mineral water from the back seat, and gave one to Shi Joy, a bottle for yourself.When he held his head up to drink water, he saw Huang Yuanliang explaining that he didn't know anything about it.

But the reporters couldn't find any other subjects to question, and they wouldn't give up at all, they still surrounded him three layers in and out.

"What exactly does the murderer want to do? Create panic?" Qi Lin tapped his knuckles on the steering wheel.

The EOD team arrived at the scene one step ahead of Qi Lin.When Qi Lin came down from the elevator, the experts in heavy EOD suits lifted the cordon and handed a shopping paper bag to Qi Lin.

"This is not a bomb at all, it's just an alarm clock like a bomb." When the EOD expert said this, there was a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth. I have never encountered a bomb, and I almost freaked out today."

"Hard work." Qi Lin took the paper bag and took out the bomb-like alarm clock.Open it hard, and inside is a greeting card and some flower petals.

Automatically ignoring the petals, Qi Lin picked up the greeting card.

This time it's fake, next time it won't be - so it says on the front of the card.

Qi Lin turned the greeting card over, and the next preview is on the back:

13:11, the Holy Maiden will remember.

Looking at the vague reminder, Qi Lin didn't know what it meant.However, from the literal point of view, he can roughly infer that 9.12 is the time, and "the Holy Maiden will remember" refers to a certain place.

Is it this afternoon?Qi Lin took out his mobile phone to check, there are still four hours.

"We took this thing away first, thanks to your EOD team, you may be ready to dispatch at any time these days." Qi Lin shook the greeting card in his hand.

Speaking of the saint, Qi Lin's first reaction was the church.There is only one church in Qingcheng, which is located in the city center.But after a long search, nothing was found.

"You look for it first, and I'll think about other possibilities." Qi Lin glanced at his watch, and there were still three hours before the forecast time.

Saintess, memory.What is it referring to in particular?

Qi Lin opened the search engine and searched for these two keywords separately, but still found nothing.

Qingcheng is so big, could it be someone's home?

Soon, Qi Lin rejected the idea.The purpose of the murderer in notifying the reporter was to make a big fuss, and putting the bomb in a private area is obviously not a good choice for making a big fuss.

"Shi Le, bring me the map of Qingcheng."

Shi Le spread the map of Qingcheng on the ground, covering the small vestibule in front of the church.

"If you had to choose, where would you choose? Where can cause the greatest panic?"

Shi Le thought about it for a while, "Too many. There are two shopping malls near here, with a lot of traffic. There is a sports field to the south, and the city library, theater and concert hall to the north. There is also the People's Park, and there is a playground to the east. These are just the general knowledge I know. If you insist on screening, there are many places with enough traffic in vegetable markets, schools, and stations."

Qi Lin circled all the places that Shi Le just said.

"Saints have memories. What does this have to do with it?" Qi Lin held his head in thought.

"This name is very similar to the name of a novel or a movie. It's very literary." Shi Le stroked the location in the city center with his hand, "It may be a theater or a concert hall. The theater may perform similar plays , and there may be similar musicals in the concert hall."

"The concert hall hasn't performed a musical for a long time. Recently, they are holding a symphony." Qi Lin has a friend who works in the concert hall. I heard him say it when chatting on WeChat before.So Qi Lin's attention was shifted from the concert hall to the theater.

It does sound like something out of a theater session.

"Call the theater and ask about the situation," Qi Lin said.

……

The repertoire to be performed by the theater today is indeed "Saint's Relief".It tells a vulgar story of a saint who redeemed a knight who had fallen into darkness while wandering.

"Is this kind of story really read?" While waiting for the person in charge in the theater office, Shi Le looked at the poster on the wall in a daze.

"Everyone will like any story." Qi Lin replied, "And I think this story is pretty good."

"Really?" Shi Le looked at Qi Lin with wide eyes, "Isn't this the script pattern of more than ten years ago? I can guess the final plot even with my eyes closed."

He opened his hands and made an embrace, "No, saint! You can't leave me. I don't know how to live without you."

As soon as the words fell, he moved his buttocks and sat on the other half of the sofa, imitating the tone of the saint, "Knight, you have to believe in yourself, you have to believe that darkness will never defeat light!"

"Really, my dear saint, but I don't want light, I just want you!" Shi Le covered her face with her hands, and forced a few tears from the corners of her eyes.

Qi Lin watched from the side with black lines on his face.

It's a shame not to be an actor.

"Mr. Police Officer is really good, guess is not bad at all." When Le was immersed in his own small world at that time, the person in charge opened the curtain and walked in.

Shi Le stopped what she was doing, and jumped back to the sofa and sat down obediently like a little rabbit that was half-foraging when it saw a fox.

"Sorry, I was just guessing randomly, and I didn't mean to say that the show is bad." Shi Le scratched her head, "It's still good, really."

"It's okay, it's not the first time someone said it's bad, we're all used to it. And the tickets haven't been sold, which can explain a lot of problems." The person in charge sighed and sat on the other end of the sofa, "It's okay I don’t know what the murderer wants to do. It’s not a good choice, but it’s here.”

"Aren't there many people watching?" Qi Lin vaguely felt that something was wrong, "Can you show me the show schedule?"

"Of course." The person in charge pulled out a crumpled playlist from under the table to pad the legs of the table, flicked off the ashes and handed it to Qi Lin.

I can see that it's not easy for your crew.Thinking this way, Qi Lin took the program list.

According to the program time, the most recent show was at 10:30 noon and ended at [-]:[-]. After [-]:[-], there should be no one in the theater.

This is not quite right.Qi Lin raised his arm, half an hour before the preview time.

"Go and ask the EOD team if they found anything." He called Shi Le.

Shi Le ran out and came to the conclusion that no.

The EOD team searched the theater and found nothing.They're getting ready to find the theater perimeter and the ceiling area.

is it wrong?Anxiety arose in Qi Lin's heart.He re-examined the map of Qingcheng, hoping to find a little clue.

But when people panic, the spirit will stop for it.His mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of the location indicated by the riddle.

Suddenly, he remembered that his friend had told him before that there was a special grand event in the concert hall today.

The concert hall is not far from here, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the saint.

"Let's take a gamble." Qi Lin gritted his teeth, left the EOD team in the theater to continue searching, and rushed to the concert hall with Shi Le.
