The news about this rescue team has just come out.

According to the situation at the rescue site, the collapsed part of the tunnel was buried completely.

How did Lin Nan know that there was someone else underneath? !
With this thought in mind, Jiang Tao and Wang Chengyu both looked at Lin Nan in surprise.

However, as the two of them looked

Lin Nan spoke calmly and made up a random excuse:
"I also heard it from someone. Someone saw it with their own eyes. There were several cars crushed in front..."

Following Lin Nan's response, Jiang Tao and Wang Chengyu nodded thoughtfully.

They naturally thought.

These situations were reported to Lin Nan by people who were trapped in the tunnel and had been rescued.

So Jiang Tao and Wang Chengyu looked at each other and didn't ask any further questions.

And just as Lin Nan responded.

Wang Chengyu saw Lin Nan changing clothes and asked curiously:

"Eh? Brother Nan, are you going out?"

"You haven't had a good rest all night, why don't you take a nap in the dormitory?"

"No..."

Lin Nan shook his head, put on his coat and said:
"Go do something first, then go spend time with my parents."

"Although they didn't show it to me last night, they must have been frightened given their age."

As Lin Nan finished speaking, he touched Xiaobai's head again, signaling him to stay in the dormitory for the time being.

Just about to leave the dormitory.

At this time, Wang Chengyu seemed to have thought of something, and he continued:

"By the way, Brother Nan, we told Lao Luo about your situation."

"After all, it's a big deal. The instructor has approved your leave for the next two days. You can focus on the things at hand first."

"Oh, and Professor Cui's class this morning, he even asked us why you didn't come."

Hearing that these two people had already asked for leave for me, I could now focus on the investigation.

So Lin Nan thanked the two of them.

Since Professor Cui was mentioned just now, Jiang Tao and the others continued:
"But... this old Cui really pays attention to you. He can tell at a glance whether you go to class or not."

"He even came to us before his lecture and asked us why we didn't go."

Following Jiang Tao's words, Wang Chengyu also added:

"Oh, that's right, Brother Nan."

"Lao Cui thinks highly of you in our class. I even have a reasonable suspicion that he only remembers your name in our class!"

Hearing the two people talking back and forth, Lin Nan seemed to have a picture in his mind.

I never thought that Professor Cui would favor me so much just because I memorized a textbook!

However, becoming familiar to the professor is not necessarily a good thing.

Just like now, I get caught every time I skip class!

So, Lin Nan looked at the two people's astonished expressions and said with a smile:

"Envious, huh?"

"Okay, next time I will definitely recommend you two to Professor Cui."

“Then we can work on the paper together with Professor Cui.” Lin Nan joked.

However, Lin Nan's expression was controlled to be extremely realistic.

Wang Chengyu couldn't tell whether Lin Nan was joking or really had something on his mind.

So he quickly opened his mouth and begged for mercy:

"Hey, Brother Nan, why are you taking it so seriously when you're just joking?"

"It's enough for Professor Cui to have you as his beloved disciple. We can't even get close to you, and our strength doesn't allow it!"

Seeing Wang Chengyu's expression, Lin Nan smiled faintly.

"Let's go." He said this and walked out of the dormitory.

All I could hear was the conversation between Wang Chengyu and another person in the dormitory.

He seemed to be still pondering the truth or falsity of the joke he had just made.

Seeing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but shook his head.

However, just after stepping out of the dormitory.

The smile on Lin Nan's face disappeared and his expression became much more serious.

At this moment, my heart is full of thoughts.

All of this is related to the collapse of the tunnel. I wonder if it was aimed at a specific target.

If it is true, the other party will attack my parents.

I will definitely not give up easily.

Since someone has already come to provoke us, we must prevent future troubles.

Never allow the other party to have another chance to attack.

"Drip drip..."

Just as Lin Nan was thinking, he heard a message from his cell phone.

At this time, Lin Nan knew without any guessing who sent the message.

He immediately took out his cell phone and looked at it.

I saw that it was the address Liang Yuzhu gave for the meeting.

"Turn right out of the school gate, and you'll find St. Regis Coffee."

Looking at the address above, Lin Nan narrowed his eyes and immediately left the dormitory building.

……

In a cheap rental house in the East District of Yanhai City.

There were many empty wine bottles scattered around the room.

In the middle of the floor stood a shabby little round table.

Scattered on it were a pile of peanut skins and a stack of leftover instant noodles.

Three unshaven men were crowded in this dirty and cramped room.

Everyone was feeling uncertain, as if they were anxiously waiting for something.

If someone pays attention, they will notice it.

These three men were the ones who had pretended to be migrant workers from Zhengyang Group and went to the tunnel to make arrangements on a rainy night!
At this moment, one of the men was looking through his phone, and a news report came from the speaker:

"Today, rescue workers found several more victims in the collapsed section of the Yanqin Tunnel."

"When he was found, he had lost vital signs. We are currently conducting excavations to find out the cause of the tunnel collapse..."

The content of the broadcast was heard clearly by the three people in the room.

The already anxious atmosphere seemed to be ignited by an invisible fire.

"Fuck... this time it's over."

"So many people died! Will the police come to our door? Are they already investigating us?"

At this time, a younger man muttered in panic.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, a deflated can fell at his feet.

The sudden noise frightened the man so much that he shrank back.

When I looked up, I saw the leader of the three people shouting impatiently:
"Why are you panicking? How secretive was our action that day?"

"The car they were driving also belonged to the Zhengyang Group, and they were all wearing raincoats. How could they find us so quickly?"

Although the leading man said this, it was obvious that he was also in a bad mood.

At this moment, the silent man sighed and spoke to ease the atmosphere:

"Brother Qiang, it's not a good idea to just keep waiting like this. I think we should urge the other party to get the money and stay out of the spotlight first."

Following the man's reminder, Brother Qiang glanced at the young man standing by the wall with a bad temper, then took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Manager Yang, where's the money you promised us? When are you going to give it to us?"

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he said in a deep voice:

"Qiangzi, I know, don't worry..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Brother Qiang interrupted unhappily:
"Stop talking about that useless stuff! Where's the money I asked you about?!"

Hearing Qiangzi's tough tone, Manager Yang on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and said in a gentle voice:
"Oh, isn't this a case of something going wrong?"

"It would have taken the rescue team several days to investigate the cause of the accident."

"But who knew the rescue would come so quickly? The trapped people were rescued that same night!"

"The situation is tense right now. If I transfer money directly to you, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

Hearing the other party's words, Qiangzi snorted coldly and said:

"You also know that the situation is tense. Now the matter has become so serious that someone has died."

"I'm telling you, if the police find us, none of us will be safe!"

As these words came out, Manager Yang on the other end of the phone seemed to check the time and promised:
"Then... I'll give you an address later, and you can come over to pick up the cash tomorrow night."

"Take the money and go out to hide first. Don't show up in Yanhai City during this period of time."

Immediately, the phone was hung up. Qiangzi cursed a few words and wanted to pick up the beer bottle on the table and take a sip.

I shook the can, but it was empty.

He glanced at the empty bottles around him, then angrily threw them to the ground.

……

On the other side, Lin Nan had also arrived at the cafe.

I pushed open the door and glanced into the store, only to see Liang Yuzhu sitting near the back.

He immediately stepped forward and sat down opposite him.

"I don't know what you like to drink, so I just ordered something for you."

Liang Yuzhu pointed to a cup of coffee on the table and spoke to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan nodded and went straight to the point:

"Officer Liang, what do you want from me?"

"Have you been to the hospital for a checkup? I think your parents are okay."

"Hmm..." Lin Nan said affirmatively:

"It was just a little frightened, but it was a blessing in disguise."

"Unfortunately..." Liang Yuzhu repeated, her eyes falling on Lin Nan.

Then, as if asking Lin Nan a question, he said:

"Lin Nan, do you really think this accident was just an accident?"

Hearing Liang Yuzhu's question, Lin Nan met her gaze.

As expected of the captain of the criminal investigation team, his eyes seem to be able to see through people's minds.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Nan smiled.

"Officer Liang...what do you mean by that?"

Seeing Lin Nan's reaction, Liang Yuzhu leaned back.

She leaned back in the chair, crossed her legs, and looked like a mature queen.

Then, he looked out the window and said slowly:

"The rescue site is now looking for the cause of the accident, and I have also heard some news from my colleagues."

"It is said that... it was you who provided the clue that the collapsed part of the tunnel might have traces of static explosion?"

After hearing Liang Yuzhu's words, Lin Nan kept smiling.

Recalling last night, I had revealed to Su Zhengfeng that there might be human damage in the tunnel.

At that time, the engineering manager under Su Zhengfeng reported the situation to the rescue team.

Now that Liang Yuzhu knew about it, Lin Nan was not surprised at all.

And from what the other party said, it seems that the direction of the investigation has been clarified.

"It's just a guess. After all, I know Mr. Su, who is in charge of this tunnel maintenance project."

"Looking at him, he doesn't seem like a careless person. He must have done a thorough investigation in advance to avoid letting the responsibility fall on himself."

"If that's the case, how could it be possible that a mudslide caused by a rainstorm would cause the tunnel to collapse?"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Liang Yuzhu looked at him again.

The other party also seemed to know the details of his acquaintance with Su Zhengfeng, and what happened at the temple fair was indeed a bit mysterious.

Lin Nan felt more or less uncomfortable being scrutinized by the criminal investigation team leader.

So he simply spoke first: "Officer Liang, did I really guess right?"

The reason why Lin Nan asked this was that he also wanted to find out the whole story through the police.

It is also good to find out the mastermind behind this tunnel collapse.

Sure enough, accompanied by Lin Nan's question.

Liang Yuzhu nodded slowly.

After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he confirmed:

"The rescue team has now dug out most of the tunnel that has collapsed."

"There are indeed many abnormal cracks on it, so the possibility of human damage cannot be ruled out."

At this point, Liang Yuzhu glanced at Lin Nan and revealed the truth:
"After all, someone has died. This matter will probably be handed over to us soon for follow-up."

Having said this, Liang Yuzhu paused.

She suddenly changed the subject and asked:
"Lin Nan, what do you think Feng Wanhao wanted to find by sending people into the mountains?"

After hearing Liang Yuzhu's words, several thoughts flashed through Lin Nan's mind.

In a trance, I might even mistakenly think that Liang Yuzhu already knew about the existence of the wooden box and the snake pill.

However, Lin Nan was only slightly distracted and quickly reacted.

When Lin Nan heard Liang Yuzhu mention Feng Wanhao's name, he began to speculate.

"Officer Liang, what do you mean..."

"Do you think this matter has something to do with him?"

As Lin Nan asked, he did not get a positive answer from Liang Yuzhu.

Instead, the other party threw a question at me.

"Didn't he ask you to meet him a few days ago? I guess... you didn't give him the answer he wanted, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan did not comment, but his eyes darkened.

Seeing this, Liang Yuzhu seemed to have gotten the answer she wanted.

Immediately, she raised a beautiful smile and said:
"Let me tell you some more information. According to what I have found out, Marriott Group also participated in the bidding for the Yanqin Tunnel maintenance project."

"However, due to cost considerations, Zhengyang Group eventually won the project."

"So, from a business perspective, Feng Wanhao and Su Zhengfeng are competitors."

Having said this, Liang Yuzhu paused and continued:

"Lin Nan, don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?"

"Let's not talk about the means for now. You cured Su Zhengfeng's daughter, and Su Zhengfeng got over the heavy burden in his heart and was just about to get his career back on track."

"Just when he was about to make his mark, an accident happened during the tunnel maintenance project, and your parents became victims of the accident."

"For Feng Wanhao, this matter can not only help him crush his competitors, but also punish you, so as to get what he wants..."

"It really is a way to kill two birds with one stone."

"..." As Liang Yuzhu continued to speak, Lin Nan remained silent.

The two people's eyes met, and they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, and everything was said without words!
