The animal carcasses on the ground were already rotting, mixed with decaying leaves, and a pungent odor filled the air.

The three members of the investigation team covered their noses in disgust. They hadn't taken a single photo, let alone any so-called investigation records.

Zhang Hao glanced at them, said nothing, and found the scene before him nauseating.

"Staying here any longer will only make things worse," Zhang Hao said to his companions. "There's nothing to see here anymore. Let's go back so we don't feel nauseous looking at these corpses."

The others had no objections, so they left Mount Kari.

After descending the mountain, they prepared to return to their hotel. Coincidentally, the three members of the investigation team were also heading back, so they all left together.

Chen Anshui couldn't help but ask the woman, "Weren't you here to conduct an investigation? Why didn't you take any notes or take any photos? Is your so-called investigation just a quick glance?"

The woman rolled her eyes. The man who had spoken so eloquently earlier remained silent, while another man muttered under his breath, "We don't want to be 'suicided' yet."

Hearing this, Chen Anshui's lips twitched.

"Is this how you handle things here? If you don't take responsibility for revealing the truth, who will take responsibility for the health of the local residents?"

Chen Anshui's questioning made the three of them very unhappy.

The woman simply ignored him and turned to her companion, saying, "Go back and pack your things; we're leaving tonight."

Back at the hotel, the three men quickly packed their bags and left without lingering for a moment.

Zhang Hao was utterly speechless. The attitude of the relevant departments here was truly pragmatic.

However, on this very night, their hotel was disturbed by noise in the middle of the night.

I was awakened by the piercing sirens of a police car.

When the police cars arrived, many uniformed law enforcement officers got out and sealed off the hotel without saying a word.

All guests were to be investigated, and the whole process was very elaborate, as if some major case had occurred.

After Zhang Hao and the others were woken up, Mikal told them to come downstairs to cooperate with the investigation.

They arrived at the hotel lobby, where law enforcement officers had already set up tables and chairs and prepared for questioning. All the guests were called in one by one for questioning.

When it was Zhang Hao's turn, he and his group were also questioned in a formal, businesslike manner.

"Has something big happened? Did those three people get into trouble?" Little Koi quietly asked Chen Anshui next to her after being asked the question.

Chen Anshui pursed his lips, as if he had thought of something, and said dismissively, "Don't worry about it, it's not our business anyway."

The little koi pouted, its eyes darting around, and it moved closer to Mikael beside it.

"Uncle Mikal, what happened to those three members of the investigation team who were staying here? Were they in a car accident?"

The little koi fish asked curiously.

When I was questioned just now, all the questions were about the three-person investigation team, which shows that the case is definitely related to them.

Uncle Mikar swallowed hard, his face looking rather grim, but he still patiently answered Little Koi: "Something did happen. They... were in a car accident when they left. Now there's an uproar online, and everyone is demanding a thorough investigation because many people suspect that someone deliberately silenced them to prevent the investigation team from revealing the truth."

As expected, it was still about this matter. Little Koi secretly glanced back at Zhang Hao and found him looking calm, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Hao originally wanted to get involved, but he received a message from Lao Zhang in China beforehand, telling him not to interfere. He only needed to stand by and watch until someone died.

All the overt contests and media campaigns are not something he needs to care about.

After seeing this message, Zhang Hao had a general idea of ​​what to do next, so he remained calm and waited for things to unfold naturally.

The investigation concluded quickly, with the entire process meticulously documented and subsequently made public online. Law enforcement agencies also stated that, after a rigorous investigation, the possibility of a conspiracy to murder has been ruled out.

The incident involving the three-person investigation team has been officially classified as a pure accident.

Zhang Hao and his team were not surprised by this development. However, the local people were extremely angry, demanding compensation and a thorough investigation. Unfortunately, all their protests were suppressed, and the relevant media dared not continue to report on it.

After the investigation, another incident occurred: relevant departments came to distribute compensation, saying that each person would receive 200 yuan plus food and drinking water, on the condition that a donation agreement be signed.

Zhang Hao happened to have the opportunity to read the agreement because Uncle Mikal was right next to him at the time.

He happened to see the staff giving Uncle Mikal money and food, and then asking him to sign an agreement. Someone as experienced as Zhang Hao would immediately become wary in this situation.

"Uncle Mikal, let me take a look at you."

Zhang Hao took the agreement and said to Uncle Mikael, "I have studied relevant laws, so I should be able to spot any deliberately misleading clauses in the agreement."

With a free lawyer available, Uncle Mikal decided to use him to review the agreement.

Zhang Hao quickly skimmed through it, and after reading it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This isn't an agreement to accept rescue at all; it's a waiver of liability. Once you sign this waiver, you can no longer pursue any illegal, irregular, or rights-infringing incidents that occur locally."

Upon hearing this, the staff member's expression immediately froze.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Mikal flew into a rage and cursed, "You've set a trap for us! This is outrageous! Get out, get out now! Take all this stuff with you! I'm going to expose this! You heartless capitalists! You should all be hung on lampposts!"

The staff were chased away by Uncle Mikal.

Uncle Mikar was extremely anxious, worried that other local residents would be deceived. After thanking Zhang Hao, he hurriedly ran to gather the local residents, tell them about the incident, and warn them not to be fooled.

Zhang Hao waved to signal him to hurry up and go.

Unexpectedly, not long after Uncle Mikar left, the staff member who had just been chased away returned.

He walked straight toward Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao looked at the black man blocking his way, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "You came here specifically to see me? What do you want?"

The black man snorted coldly, his attitude was extremely hostile, and his tone was full of threats when he spoke.

"You're not a local, these things are none of your business. If you don't want trouble, you'd better leave now, otherwise... you might get into a car accident, or accidentally run into robbers..."

Before Zhang Hao could respond, Han San, who was coming downstairs, overheard these words and rushed over angrily.

"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting? Watch your language!" (End of Chapter)
