The police are investigating the amount and composition of the explosives involved in the case, including the detection of the fragments of the explosion at the scene for analysis, and expert analysis of the charred traces after the explosion to determine the power of the explosive device.
Remote control is different from the previous two cases
In addition, it is reported that the remote-controlled explosive device seized in this case is different from the explosive devices previously seized in Mong Kok and Wah Yan College, because the remote-control device in this case did not use a mobile phone to remotely detonate, but used a gray receiver.

The principle of the devices is not similar, and it is not ruled out that this case is not the same as the perpetrators of the past two cases. At present, the source of the explosives and devices used in the case is still under investigation. It is not ruled out that it is related to the occupation of the arrested person.
