Hearing the number, Jacob frowned. With so many casualties, the accident would be difficult to
subside. Although the company had promised to compensate the families of victims, as long as the
responsibility lay in the company, some people would never let it go so easily.
But what was the true reason of the accident? Jacob always felt that something was trying to prevent
the truth from flowing out of the water. There must be.
But what was it? The three of them were all confused.
"Is there anything suspicious on the spot?" James continued to ask. He looked like a top private
detective.
It was not the first time for Jacob to find that James was an amazing person. Just now, the police
wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. He didn't know what was going on.
But what James said hit the nail on the head. Although he didn't experience the accident and knew
nothing in detail about it. How could he be so sharp? Was it because he had rich experience?
"Well… Let me see. " The policeman held one hand with the other, and the hand held was clenched
into a fist and placed on his chest, as if he was thinking carefully.
"I don't think so… But I'm not sure. After all, there are many remains of buildings on the ground after
the explosion. I don't know what is buried under them. " The policeman looked regretful. Today's goal
was only to save people, and the on-site investigation was not that important for now.
After a long walk, they finally arrived at the gate of the factory. The gate was at the edge of collapse,
which made Jacob felt bitter. Sure enough, the power of the energy explosion was huge. This single
explosion mutilated the plant covering 100 square meters.
If it wasn't connected to other plants, it might have been razed.
Thinking of the workers buried here in an instant, their face turned gloomy.
They couldn't imagine how terrible the scene was.
After the explosion, fire broke out here. Even if the police moved quickly, it was still late when they
arrived. The cause of the accident was still unidentified. Through the surveillance, they found that there
was no open fire at beginning.
This was the most strange thing.
Seeing the shaky half-closed gate, James stopped Jacob. "I'll go in first to see what's going on. You
may follow up if it's safe inside."
The policeman looked at James and felt that he looked familiar, even more familiar than Jacob. Was it
an illusion?
The policeman shook his head. He didn't have to worry too much. Anyway, the case couldn't be solved
in a day.
Jacob was surprised that at this time, James's first thought was to protect him. He nodded heavily. He
knew that his uncle was right.
If something happened to him, who would be in charge of the company? Jonathan? No, he wasn't even
a qualified director. He cannot be the leader of the company.
Jacob waited at the gate for two minutes, or longer. James returned to the gate. He waved at Jacob
and said, "Come in, Jacob."
Jacob nodded. He must bow when entering the room. As the gate was about to fall, the originally huge
gate was half hung on the wall, looking very dangerous. But it wouldn't fall down immediately.
The moment Jacob entered the room, he felt much darker. The roof was broken and was not fully
accessible. The light went off in the room, and the whole room was in cinders, making the environment
extremely dark.
A smell of burnt filled the room.
As it was a new energy production line, many steel tubes were installed below the ceiling, making it
looked like a stadium. The spacious room suddenly became crowded after the fire.
The police were looking for the victims in the ruins, hoping to find survivals. So far, the number of
people working in this plant did not match the number of people found.
There were four people missing according to the record. The case wouldn't be solved if these four
people were missing like this. At least, they need to find their body or their belongings.
Of course, some people would doubt that it was just a simple explosion case. But on second thought,
there were some things that were indeed not right. On the contrary, the possible truth could be scary.
On the open space beside them, there was a burnt body. With a single glance, Jacob turned back. The
scene looked a little scary. The body was totally carbonize. It was unknown if he was burned before he
died or after he died.
James glanced at the burnt body on the ground and asked, "Why is that corpse still placed there?"
According to the record, 24 people were killed. However, they didn't see that many bodies here.
" Because the victim was burned thoroughly and was unrecognizable. We are conducting a DNA test.
When the result comes out, they will inform his family about his death. " The policeman tightened his
clothes. He felt cold after staying out for so long.
He had thought that the situation would be better after going back to the factory. But because the
factory was seriously damaged, cold wind blew in from all directions, making people shivering.
Jacob didn't mind the low temperature. He was still shocked at the sight of the body. He wished that he
would never see such scenes in the future.
However, at present, Jacob took out his phone and wanted to take some photos so that he could
analyze it. At least he could show others the photos when he discussed with them.
"Can I take photos?" Jacob asked, not as reserved as ordinary people.
"Generally speaking, no one is allowed to take photos at the scene. But I can make an exception for
you. Just be careful and don't tell anyone. " The policeman made a mysterious gesture, as if he had
really made a difficult decision.
"Understood, sir." Jacob took out his phone.
The policeman seemed to understand something and said, "Don't call me like that. Alas, I forgot to
introduce myself just now. My surname is Li, and everyone calls me..."
Before the police officer could finish his words, Jacob raised his head and asked, "Everyone calls you
sir? Okay, sir, I got it. "
"……"
The policeman chose to shut up. After a second thought, he found that it's not bad to be called like that.
After taking a photo, Jacob and James stood at the gate of the factory building. "We are leaving now.
It's getting late. If anything happens, please inform us at any time. This is my business card. "
Jacob handed over his business card. He was quite pleased to talk with the policeman. It was better
than the impression left by average policemen.
"I see. I will inform you as soon as something wrong happened." The police curled his lips. Before he
finished his words, Jacob and James had already left.
He had been a policeman for so many years, but he had never seen such an arrogant person. Today,
he had enriched his experience.
The officer smiled. Jacob was more interesting than he thought, and the case was more interesting
than he thought too. Everything was getting more and more interesting.
Meanwhile, Jonathan had arrived at the gate of the factory. He asked his men to follow Jacob closely,
but was still one step late. As a result, he was kept outside the factory.
"How dare you stopping me? Let me in. I'm in charge of this company. I'm a director. " At the gate of
the factory, Jonathan was arguing loudly with a man in police uniform. He couldn't accept the fact that
Jacob was allowed to enter the building while he was kept outside.
