Chapter 112 Unconventional Reasoning
Seeing Feng Nan shake her head, Ye Wanwan blinked: "Xiao Nan, do you have a different opinion because you shook your head?"

Feng Nan smiled and nodded: "Indeed."

"I think the suggestion they gave was for the elderly, but it doesn't necessarily mean nursing homes and senior activity centers, because neither of these places meets the prerequisite of having a particularly large flow of people."

"There is a place that fits the elderly's description quite well, and although the foot traffic is not high, it is definitely much higher than that of nursing homes and senior activity centers."

At this point, Feng Nan paused.

He looked at Ye Wanwan and asked, "Wanwan, do you know where I'm talking about?"

Ye Wanwan thought for a moment, then shook her head blankly.

"I do not know."

"I can't figure it out, how is it related to the elderly?"

Judging from Ye Wanwan's furrowed brows, it was clear that she was indeed deep in thought.

But I really can't remember where it is right now.

"I see!"

"It's a square where people do square dancing!"

Li Biao spoke up at this moment.

Feng Nan smiled slightly: "That's right!"

"What I'm trying to say is that squares where elderly people dance are more in line with the suggestions those people gave."

"Makes sense!"

Ye Wanwan nodded in agreement.

"And what about the last line?"

"What does this refer to?"

"Could it be a railway track?"

Ye Wanwan pointed to the last prompt and asked.

Feng Nan shook her head: "No!"

"I think this hint doesn't refer to the location, but rather to the order of the first four hints."

"If we consider the line clue as an arrangement of the previous four clues, then we can find the four locations where explosives were previously identified."

Feng Nan said in a very serious tone.

"Unlikely?"

Li Biao frowned and asked in return.

"Would they really be that kind?"

Ye Wanwan thought it was unlikely.

"No, they didn't mean any harm."

"They simply don't want us to find all the locations. If we don't think outside the box and consider the fifth clue as an arrangement of the first four clues, then we won't be able to find the fifth location."

"The first four locations also could not be located."

"With so many schools and hospitals in the city, how are we supposed to find them? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if we went to check them one by one, we wouldn't be able to find them in three hours, let alone thirty hours."

"But if we consider the fifth clue as an arrangement of the first four clues, it becomes much easier to find. As long as we find a location on the map where all four locations are on the same line, we can deduce the fifth location by following that line."

At this moment, Feng Nan revealed a confident smile.

"That makes sense!"

"Immediately open the map and find any locations in the city that meet all four criteria and are all on a straight line." Yueyang, who was driving, pulled the car over to the side of the road.

After listening to Fang Xiaocao's words, Yueyang seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Li Biao and Ye Wanwan immediately carried out the order.

He brought up the phone's map and, following Feng Nan's reasoning, started looking for any of the four clues—hospital, school, square, and shopping mall—that appeared on the same line.

Seeing this, Feng Nan knew that her opportunity had come.

She can get out of the car and start using her cheat codes.

"I'm having a bit of a headache from thinking about this. I'm going out for some fresh air and to think about whether there are any loopholes."

Feng Nan made an excuse, opened the car door and got out, running all the way to a tree nearby.

Only after confirming that none of the three people in the car had gotten off did Feng Nan breathe a sigh of relief. She immediately took out her phone, unlocked the screen, entered Leisure Town, and joined the Future Chat Group.

[Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: @Shangguan Yingji, Big Socks, I need you, it's an emergency! Are you there?]

This time, Feng Nan also did not tag the entire group.

Instead, he went directly to Shangguan Yingji.

After all, Shangguan Yingji is a famous reporter, and she definitely has first-hand information about cases involving explosives.

So, to save time, Feng Nan didn't hesitate to approach Shangguan Yingji.

At this point, tagging everyone with so many messages, it would be a complete waste of time for her to have to distinguish which ones are real and which ones are fake.

[Shangguan Yingji: @Meicai Kourou, I'm here, great writer. What case are you looking into today? Seriously, I have a lot of information on all the major cases from five years ago.]

Shangguan Yingji did not keep Feng Nan waiting for long.

The reply came almost instantly.

"It really works!"

Upon seeing Shangguan Yingji's reply, Feng Nan smiled and couldn't help but praise her.

[Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: @Shangguan Yingji, five years ago there was a case in Tang City where explosives were found hidden in five locations. Do you have any detailed information on that?]

Without further hesitation, Feng Nan got straight to the point.

Shangguan Yingji remained silent for more than a minute before sending another message.

[Shangguan Yingji: @Meicai Kourou, I haven't found the case involving the five explosive devices, but I do have news articles and collected materials regarding the serial bombing case.]

[Shangguan Yingji: @Meicai Kourou, five years ago today, the Tang City Major Crimes Unit received a death game challenge from a group of mysterious people. They had ruthlessly buried five explosive devices in five densely populated areas of the city. After tense deduction and investigation, the Major Crimes Unit finally identified three of them. However, due to having only three hours, they only managed to successfully detonate two of the explosive devices. While rushing to the third location, the remaining three devices all detonated.]

[Shangguan Yingji: @Meicai Kourou, all the members of the Major Crimes Unit who rushed to the third location first were affected by the aftershocks of the explosion. Yue Yang was seriously injured, Li Biao was seriously injured, three members of the Major Crimes Unit were killed, and thousands of innocent civilians were killed or injured. I think you are referring to this case, right?]

Upon seeing Shangguan Yingji's message, Feng Nan's heart tightened, and she subconsciously glanced at the time.

Three hours have passed, and only half an hour has gone by now. If her deduction is correct, and the devices are in a straight line, it should be enough time to dismantle five explosive devices in two and a half hours.

Thinking of this, Feng Nan immediately replied to Shangguan Yingji's message.

[Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: @Shangguan Yingji, yes, it's this case, just with a different name. Send me the information immediately, I need it very much. I'll give you 500 as a thank you.]

Feng Nan directly demanded the case information and offered a high reward.

[Shangguan Yingji: @Meicai Kourou, no problem, I'll send it to you right away.]

One minute later!
Shangguan Yingji sent a folder to the future chat group.

Feng Nan immediately transferred 500 yuan to Shangguan Yingji as a thank you, and then quickly opened the folder that Shangguan Yingji had sent her.

Feng Nan ignored the various descriptions and immediately began searching for the exact locations of the five places where explosives were buried.
