That night, Lu Youyou sat at her desk in her room, scrolling through her phone. Her parents and sister were completely unaware that she had taken a day off to go to the Gene Building; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to play on her phone so freely.
No matter what Lu Youyou was browsing, news about the Explosion Case was always at the top of various websites, as it was currently a hot topic in Ancheng. This indicated the strong social reaction it had provoked, drawing the attention of many.
At least Lu Youyou had seen several videos of the Fire Department arriving at the Gene Building to extinguish the fire. The police department of Ancheng had also held a press conference, stating that they were conducting an urgent investigation.
As one of the two people who knew the truth about this Explosion Case, Lu Youyou felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her heart. Was it really right to know the truth but not speak about it? However, her classmate Xu Lie had not harmed anyone, and she had promised to keep quiet.
Oh, how annoying! The more she scrolled through the news, the more irritated she became. She finally turned off her screen and buried her head in her arms, mumbling to herself, "That guy Xu Lie shouldn’t continue with this, right? I’ve already warned him; if he keeps going, I won’t protect him anymore. Yes, that’s it! I can’t let him stray further down the wrong path."
But if she were to protect him, she should keep it from Chen Chen for now. She couldn’t let her know that her potential partner was someone who dared to blow up buildings.
While Lu Youyou was feeling gloomy, the police department of Ancheng held a large-scale discussion with several experts. Over a hundred officials sat upright in the Conference Room, listening attentively to the speaker.
"We should be thankful that the initial Smoke Alarm at the Gene Building misled the staff into conducting an emergency evacuation of the entire building. This action prevented casualties in what could have been a very severe Explosion Case," said the speaker.
The staff below did not think that the Gene Building personnel were overreacting; in a society facing a Population Crisis, every life was incredibly precious. As long as there was a possibility of casualties, it was absolutely correct to treat such situations with caution.
However, after investigation, it turned out that the fire alarm had been triggered by several packs of tissues. The preliminary judgment indicated that this was an act by an offender, though their specific motives remained unknown. Unfortunately, during the fire alarm incident, the Surveillance Camera had malfunctioned and failed to capture any relevant footage; this too was preliminarily judged to be caused by the offender.
"We have informed our psychology experts about this case. They have begun to establish a personality model of the offender and will report their findings shortly," continued the speaker. "Now we invite our expert in Explosive Science to explain this explosion."
A balding expert took the microphone and opened his presentation: "Ahem, everyone should be aware of the explosion's consequences; the entire Gene Building collapsed with a destruction level exceeding seven."
According to experts, buildings constructed with Reinforced Concrete are capable of withstanding typical explosive detonations. As they explained, the current state of the building after the Extinguish Fire is not exactly a wasteland, but rather a scene of broken walls and remnants.
However, this time the perpetrator is not ordinary. Our investigation team discovered traces of Aluminothermic Reaction at the explosion site. This is a common chemical reaction that, once ignited, can produce temperatures exceeding three thousand degrees Celsius in an instant, sufficient to melt parts of the building's support columns. It is often used in connecting railway tracks and in building demolitions.
Interestingly, the second explosion of the building was caused by the automatic Extinguish Fire system. The mist from the water combined with the high temperatures from the aluminum reaction cleverly resulted in a Steam Explosion. The building's support columns were both melted and subjected to explosive forces, rendering them unable to support the structure, ultimately leading to its collapse.
In summary, our conclusion is that the perpetrator possesses advanced knowledge of explosives and has an extensive understanding of the internal structure of Gene Building, along with ample time to set up the explosives. You can narrow down the list of suspects based on these three aspects.
[This expert certainly looks professional.]
[Wow, Male Second Lead is really impressive! Forget everything else; I've never even heard of that Steam Explosion before.]
