Chapter 1471: 1471. The Truth About Landslides
Following that, Adam Jones said seriously:
“However, Leo Hall, that kid, as long as he behaves himself—after all, he is Harry’s younger brother—he won’t do anything to him.”
Moreover, just based on the fact that Leo Hall saved Elly Campbell, he’ll protect him this ti.
Elly Campbell nodded and didn’t put too much thought into Leo Hall.
“There’s one more thing…”
Upon speaking of this, Adam Jones’ voice turned graver.
“Hmm? What?”
“When I first arrived, I felt sothing was odd about this landslide. After sending people to investigate secretly, they found traces of sulfur in the mudflow.”
Upon hearing this, Elly Campbell was startled and lifted her head from his chest, “Sulfur?”
Adam Jones nodded, causing Elly Campbell’s brows to knit tightly all of a sudden, “Soone placed explosives inside the mountain?”
She fell silent for a mont, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper, “No wonder I thought this landslide happened too quickly.”
However, she wasn’t familiar with the soil composition in the Atlanta Baker area, so she didn’t think much of it at the ti.
Typically, landslides occur due to prolonged, continuous rainfall over an extended period — such natural disasters rarely happen otherwise.
Yet, this ti’s landslide ca during the day of the rainstorm, when the rain hadn’t fallen for even an hour, and the first landslide occurred.
The second landslide happened within less than a day after the first.
Clearly, to this point, there’s evidence of human interference.
“Why would the other party do this?”
Elly Campbell furrowed her brow, involuntarily connecting it to their current engineering project.
“If it’s preditated murder, the culprit would need to ti the weather perfectly—not only predicting heavy rainfall but also ensuring that the victim would pass through the landslide-prone area. Achieving all of this would be nearly impossible.”
Even if they relied on weather forecasts to predict a rainstorm, how could they pinpoint its exact location and ti? Moreover, how could they predict the specific mont the mountain would collapse?
To align the ti, location, and conditions perfectly would be exceedingly difficult.
Thus, the possibility of preditated murder is basically ruled out.
“But if it’s not murder, the other party only needs the landslide itself, which doesn’t require a specific, fixed location.”
At this point, Elly Campbell furrowed her brow again, “If that’s the case, what is the landslide targeting?”
Adam Jones let out a faint chuckle, his expression sowhat enigmatic, “What do you think?”
Elly Campbell was no fool; with Adam’s subtle hint, she imdiately understood, “The target is us? Or specifically, our infrastructure project this ti.”
With just a brief mont of thought, she comprehended.
The rainstorm takes place over these few days; its scope won’t change. As long as their project starts and encounters the landslide, then with a few provocateurs stirring up public outrage, the progress of the project could be delayed.
If this landslide results in casualties, it would stir up even greater chaos.
As long as the victims’ families are offered so benefits, they won’t hesitate to escalate the situation.
Since they planned to blow up the mountain here, they were clearly prepared to lay bla on the project team.
By then, with the matter making headlines, the companies involved in the project would see their stock prices take a hit.
This strategy is truly vicious and ruthless.
After analyzing the situation thoroughly, anger rose uncontrollably on Elly Campbell’s face.
She clenched her teeth and looked at Adam Jones, saying, “Could it be William Hall?”
“I’ve already asked Robert Green to hand over the information he’s uncovered to the criminal investigation departnt. They’ll send soone to look into it.”
William Hall is a strong suspect.
