Chapter 477 A Series of Murders, The Underpass in the Downpour

This rainstorm came in an extremely strange way.

The meteorological station's forecasting system did not issue any warnings at all; the entire city center of Jiangcheng was as if a giant basin of water had been placed upside down on its head.

The rain was so heavy that it was hard to breathe, and visibility was less than ten meters.

Lin Chen had just started the RS7 when Su Qingge called.

"Lin Chen! Something's happened!"

Su Qingge's voice sounded extremely anxious amidst the noise of the downpour.

"A multi-vehicle collision has occurred in the Jianshe Road underpass in the city center! A heavy transport truck fully loaded with chemicals lost control and crashed, triggering a chain reaction of rear-end collisions and explosions inside the tunnel! Casualties are unknown!"

"I'll be right there."

Lin Chen hung up the phone and floored the accelerator.

The RS7 let out a beastly roar in the torrential rain.

Lin Chen activated his [God-level Driving Skill], navigating the heavily flooded streets as if they were flat ground. Every drift and lane change was precise to the millimeter, ignoring the terrible weather and road conditions.

Ten minutes later, Lin Chen arrived at the Jianshe Road underpass.

The scene was extremely horrific.

The tunnel entrance has been cordoned off, and the sirens of fire trucks and ambulances blared in the torrential rain.

Thick smoke billowed inside the tunnel, and the firelight cast distorted shadows on the floodwater.

The torrential rain poured into the underpass, and the water level had already reached above the calves, and the water level was still rising at a visible speed.

Li Mingyu, wearing a large yellow raincoat, was standing at the edge of the cordon, shouting loudly at several traffic police officers.

"This rain is so strange! I haven't seen such a heavy downpour in decades!"

Li Mingyu wiped the rain off his face and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"The drainage system at the bottom of the tunnel suddenly failed, and the deep water caused the chemical transport truck to skid and lose control, crashing into the load-bearing wall! It's a complete natural disaster! Call a water pump immediately!"

Lin Chen pushed open the car door and walked straight into the downpour without even opening an umbrella.

The icy rain instantly soaked through his clothes, but he was completely unaware.

He stood on the slope at the tunnel entrance, his eyes fixed on the huge drainage outlet at the bottom of the tunnel.

The skills "God-level Meteorology Mastery" and "God-level Architecture Mastery" were simultaneously running at high speed in my mind.

Lin Chen strode down the slope, wading through the puddles, and headed straight for Li Mingyu.

"Consultant Lin! Be careful, there's still a risk of chemical leaks inside..."

When Li Mingyu saw Lin Chen, he quickly came over.

"Bang!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen kicked Li Mingyu in the shinbone.

"Ouch!"

Li Mingyu screamed and jumped around in the floodwater, clutching his leg.

"Lin Chen, what are you doing!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Chen's voice was colder than a downpour.

"Is your brain filled with water? The municipal drainage pumps in the underpass are powered by dual circuits and have a three-level redundancy design. Even if you were to perform surgery, they couldn't possibly be paralyzed instantly!"

Lin Chen ignored Li Mingyu's wails and strode to a main drainage outlet on the side wall of the tunnel.

He crouched down, put his hand into the murky water, and felt around.

Then, he suddenly pulled hard.

Lin Chen pulled a large, extremely viscous, semi-transparent gel-like substance out of the drainage grate.

"What is this?" Su Qingge, who had followed along, was holding an umbrella when she saw what Lin Chen was holding, and her expression changed.

"Water-swelling gel".

Lin Chen threw the gelatinous substance on the ground.

"An industrial-grade leak-sealing material that expands hundreds of times in volume within ten seconds of contact with water."

"Someone had stuffed this stuff into the filters of all the main drainage pumps in the tunnel beforehand."

"As soon as there's a heavy rain, the gel expands, and the entire tunnel's drainage system will be physically blocked instantly!"

Li Mingyu was stunned by what he heard, even forgetting the pain in his leg.

"Then...then this downpour..."

"This rainstorm was also man-made."

Lin Chen stood up, letting the rain wash over his face.

He looked up at the city's skyline of towering buildings.

"The killer took advantage of the urban heat island effect, where the city center has a high density of high-rise buildings, heat accumulation, and extremely strong updrafts."

"The perpetrators used drones or other means at specific high altitudes to precisely drop extremely large doses of dry ice and silver iodide rain-inducing agents."

Lin Chen's voice pierced through the rain and struck the hearts of every police officer present.

"The strong updrafts rapidly dispersed the rain-inducing agents, creating this localized torrential rain in a very short time."

"Heavy rain poured into the tunnel, and the gel clogged the drainage pump, causing the water level to rise rapidly and the vehicle to skid and lose control."

Lin Chen turned his head to look at the burning wreckage of the transport vehicle deep in the tunnel.

"Qingge, check which company owns that transport truck."

Su Qingge immediately took out a waterproof terminal and quickly checked the license plate number.

A few seconds later, Su Qingge looked up, her eyes filled with shock.

"It's a truck from Trina Solar, and they're transporting a batch of high-purity battery electrolyte."

Lin Chen sneered.

"Tianhe New Energy, if I remember correctly, is the company that took over Wang Defa's public transportation system supply chain after his death, and it is now Xinghai New Materials' arch-rival."

Everything is connected.

A thunderstorm struck the golf course, killing Wang Defa, who had broken the agreement.

A car accident caused by torrential rain in an underpass destroyed a core transport vehicle belonging to competitor Trina Solar.

This is the same killer.

He is using extreme weather to carry out an extremely insane and indiscriminate series of murders!

He turned nature into the sharpest knife in his hand!

"madman……"

Su Qingge clenched her fists.

"How exactly does he manage to control the weather so precisely?"

"Because he has an extremely large meteorological data model."

Lin Chen wiped the rain off his face, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Let's go back to the station."

"This rain should stop."
