Chapter 853: Chapter 382: A Deadly Checkmate

As soon as the words were spoken,

Gu Ji saw two pitch-black gun barrels aimed at his forehead inside the carriage.

"I advise you not to make any rash moves!"

A burly Persian pushed him roughly into Carriage No. 3 from behind and began to search him rudely.

"Is this how you treat your guests?"

Gu Ji spread his arms, allowing them to handle him, with no trace of panic on his face.

A subordinate with black-framed glasses took the documents from the Persian strongman, immediately opened his laptop, and in just six or seven seconds, displayed his information to Hasha.

"Guest?"

Hasha questioned him, looking at the phone, seeing all the identity information related to "Ah Ming," his expression immediately became extremely grim, "Speak up, who sent you here, the CIA, Afghanistan, or Saudi Arabia."

"Answer honestly, maybe we can spare your life!"

The Persian strongman clasped his hands together, pressing his knuckles, making a cracking sound, as if ready to strike down hard if Gu Ji dared to be defiant.

"Mr. Hasha, since your subordinate’s investigative skills are so impressive, why not have him check if, in 4 minutes and 19 seconds, the train will intersect with another train carrying a huge load of flammable explosives!"

Gu Ji ignored the threats of the strong Persian man and shifted his gaze to the technician with black-framed glasses.

Hasha raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

Although all signs indicated that this person in front of them was extremely suspicious, possibly an intelligence undercover for hostile forces, he still gave a signal to his subordinate.

Because Gu Ji spoke with such confidence and precision.

Such specific information can be verified with a slight investigation.

The glasses technician immediately pulled up the Tehran railway schedule, and his pupils involuntarily shrank.

"Captain, at 8:43, there is indeed a freight train, numbered CZ3193, currently on a cargo mission. The train is composed of 55 carriages, with the first to 12th after the engine being boxcars and open wagons, the 13th to 25th being tank cars, the 26th to 30th refrigerated cars, the 31st to 54th LPG cars, and the 55th carriage being a guard car."

After hearing this, Hasha’s eyelids twitched slightly.

"What is the total capacity of all flammable explosive gases?"

"Natural gas, 339 tons; LPG, 587 tons... Based on the train’s departure time and average speed, we will soon intersect with CZ3193 near the Samed Station area!"

"What!?"

At this remark, everyone involuntarily gasped.

Hasha looked at Gu Ji with extreme shock, "Do you mean this freight train will explode?"

"Yes!"

Gu Ji replied directly.

Although he showed no expression on his face, inside, his heart was as tumultuous as the security personnel.

He didn’t know the cause of the explosion on the train from Tehran, but based on the destructive power exhibited by the third stage, it was clear the train carried a large amount of flammable and explosive materials; otherwise, it couldn’t produce such a wide-ranging shock wave.

So, Gu Ji was partly fulfilling his mission by ensuring Ghabari heard the intelligence he provided and could evacuate the station early. Meanwhile, he leveraged Ghabari’s security personnel to extract some free intelligence labor.

But he couldn’t fathom.

The amount of dangerous goods on the freight train was so terrifying!

If this was indeed a planned assassination conspiracy, the planner was indeed quite clever.

Having realized using an Iranian freight train for a bombing attack was not only immensely powerful, but also had a high success rate of assassination, and it was difficult to leave any evidence afterward.

Hasha stood there, heart pounding.

He certainly understood what an explosion of the freight train loaded with flammable and explosive materials would mean.

In the 2004 North Korean Longchuan Station explosion incident, two trains transporting hundreds of tons of LPG collided near Longchuan Station, causing a severe explosion and fire;

The explosion had a power equivalent to over 100 tons of explosives, with a shockwave radius of 4 kilometers, destroying nearby public buildings, over 30 industrial and commercial facilities, and housing for over 8,100 households.

In the 2020 Beirut port explosion incident in Lebanon, 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded with power equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT explosives, nearly flattening the entire nearby port area, with explosion seismic waves equating to a 3.3 magnitude earthquake!

In other words,

The freight train loaded with natural gas and LPG, if it exploded;

Its power would be almost double the "Longchuan Incident" and one-third of the "Beirut explosion on August 4!"

"Where did you get this information from!"

"Is that important?"

Facing Hasha’s pressing question, Gu Ji raised his wrist, pointing to outside the train window, "I fear we don’t have much time left!"

Turns out, while he was speaking, the train had already stopped at the platform of "Samed" Station.

"Damn it! If I find out this is false, you will pay a very heavy price!"

Hasha said fiercely, immediately pressing a walkie-talkie:

"Activate the emergency plan, escort the VIP to evacuate immediately! Alman, contact the road transport department at once, stop CZ3193 immediately, notify the nearest Revolutionary Guard unit, block the freight train on site, and scrutinize every person onboard!"

One has to admit, at the critical moment, this guy commanded decisively.

In the next second, the iron door of Carriage No. 2 opened, and an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a black suit, quickly stepped out under the escort of two security personnel.
