"Even if you know, so what?"
"There's only a little over a minute left. Even I wouldn't be able to defuse it myself."
After the initial shock, Wang Hu's gaze calmed again.
The fact that the young man could accurately identify the bomb's nature showed he had some skill.
But that was all.
The methods Wang Hu had left on the bomb were far more than that.
Thinking this, Wang Hu watched the monitor with interest.
He wanted to see how far this young man could get in defusing it.
...
On the fourth floor of the Times Building,
Su Mo's sudden arrival caught everyone off guard.
At a time like this, people should be running out, not recklessly charging in!
But before anyone could question him, Su Mo directly identified the bomb's type.
This made the bomb squad furrow their brows.
"Kid, do you know the difference between Emulsion Explosive and Powdered Emulsion Explosive?"
"The names sound similar, but there's a huge difference!"
"One small mistake and this bomb will go off with a bang!"
A middle-aged member of the bomb squad said gravely.
Others also looked skeptically at Su Mo.
If someone older had said this, they might have given them the benefit of the doubt.
But Su Mo was too young.
At their age, such youth seemed unreliable.
This wasn't child's play — if the bomb exploded, no one would survive.
No one was willing to bet their lives on an unfamiliar young man.
"There are two things that can be certain."
Su Mo stepped past them, picked up a tool on the floor, and said calmly with a slight smile:
"As professional bomb experts, you should have tested this bomb's composition and got results indicating Emulsion Explosive."
"But the data you got is different from typical Emulsion Explosive."
"That means this bomb is an emulsion bomb, but not entirely."
Hearing this, everyone frowned, confused by his meaning.
Su Mo didn't look at them, methodically preparing his tools while explaining:
"There are only two possible reasons for this."
"First, the explosives inside could all be defective junk, incapable of detonating properly, so the data appears inconsistent."
"Second, the Emulsion Explosive is just a decoy — something 'someone' wants you to see."
"The real explosives, wrapped inside by the Emulsion Explosive, won't be detected."
"Once you reach that conclusion, it's easy to guess."
"The explosive that can be wrapped by Emulsion Explosive but still retain its detonation power has to be something close in nature — 'Powdered Emulsion Explosive.'"
Su Mo explained like a professional, calmly and steadily working.
This bomb was indeed complex.
But for someone with a Bomb Maker's knowledge like him, it was nothing special.
Given time, he could create a bomb ten times more complex with the same materials!
At this, the bomb squad's faces all froze for a moment — then their eyes lit up.
This explanation made complete sense!
At that moment, Gao Wenkang couldn't help but ask:
"Such a combined bomb is incredibly dangerous. One wrong move and it'll explode."
"Even some experts wouldn't dare try. Are you sure this was made by a wanted criminal?"
Gao Wenkang was undoubtedly an expert on bombs.
That's why he found it hard to believe.
At least by his professional knowledge, this shouldn't be possible.
"You don't understand Wang Hu, do you?"
Su Mo glanced at Gao Wenkang but kept going:
"Wang Hu is a genius. He graduated from the country's top Qinglian University, specially admitted for his outstanding achievements in science and chemistry."
"Such a person could create this kind of bomb even without perfect materials — it's not surprising."
Everyone was shocked.
They didn't expect a wanted criminal to have such skill and education.
"With Wang Hu's genius, why did he end up like this?"
A young member of the bomb squad sighed.
"Because Wang Hu is a madman."
Su Mo took a container of liquid nitrogen and stood up quietly:
"Wang Hu came from a poor family. His younger brother Wang Meng stole to support his living and schooling."
"This warped Wang Hu's worldview. His study of science and chemistry wasn't to serve society, but to become a ruthless bandit!"
"Wang Hu and Wang Meng had a deep bond. The man Wang Hu shot had brutally beaten Wang Meng the day before."
"And this timed bomb case was Wang Hu's way of avenging Wang Meng."
This information came from interrogating Wang Meng.
Chen Yumin and the others had been silent for a long time over this.
Hearing it, everyone felt a mixture of pity and sorrow.
If it were a different background, the two brothers Wang Hu and Wang Meng could have been a story of brotherly love.
Unfortunately, Wang Meng supported his brother by stealing,
and Wang Hu's success came from becoming a dangerous criminal.
From the start, their fate was doomed.
As the brief conversation ended, the countdown on the bomb was down to ten seconds.
"Kid, I believe Wang Hu is a genius to create such a bomb."
"But you're so young — how are you so skilled with bombs?"
Gao Wenkang glanced at the countdown, then at the liquid nitrogen container in Su Mo's hand, curious.
By now he knew the bomb was no match for this young man.
Because moments ago, Su Mo had, in an incredibly short time and with skillful hands, removed the bomb's bottom,
stripped away the outer Emulsion Explosive layer, revealing the bomb's true nature.
At the same time, the countdown was down to five seconds.
"Why?"
Su Mo aimed the liquid nitrogen spray at the bomb's bottom, smiling softly:
"Because compared to Wang Hu, I'm more genius!"
As he finished speaking, the countdown froze at one second—forever stopped.
Because the bomb was now completely frozen solid by the extremely low temperature of the liquid nitrogen.
Watching closely, Wang Hu's face darkened like stormy water.
Meanwhile, the people in the command center all showed excited expressions.
Chen Yumin clenched his right fist and slammed it hard into his left palm.
"Su Mo, well done!"
