<strong>Chapter 1471: 1471. The Truth About Landslides</strong>


    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 time.


    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 something was odd about thisndslide. 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, “Someone ced explosives inside the mountain?”


    She fell silent for a moment, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper, “No wonder I thought thisndslide happened too quickly.”


    However, she wasn’t familiar with the soilposition in the Anta Baker area, so she didn’t think much of it at the time.


    Typically,ndslides ur due to prolonged, continuous rainfall over an extended period — such natural disasters rarely happen otherwise.


    Yet, this time’sndslide came during the day of the rainstorm, when the rain hadn’t fallen for even an hour, and the firstndslide urred.


    The secondndslide 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 premeditated murder, the culprit would need to time the weather perfectly—not only predicting heavy rainfall but also ensuring that the victim would pass through thendslide-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 time? Moreover, how could they predict the specific moment the mountain would copse?


    To align the time, location, and conditions perfectly would be exceedingly difficult.


    Thus, the possibility of premeditated murder is basically ruled out.


    “But if it’s not murder, the other party only needs thendslide 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 thendslide targeting?”


    Adam Jones let out a faint chuckle, his expression somewhat enigmatic, “What do you think?”


    Elly Campbell was no fool; with Adam’s subtle hint, she immediately understood, “The target is us? Or specifically, our infrastructure project this time.”


    With just a brief moment of thought, sheprehended.


    The rainstorm takes ce over these few days; its scope won’t change. As long as their project starts and encounters thendslide, then with a few provocateurs stirring up public outrage, the progress of the project could be dyed.


    If thisndslide results in casualties, it would stir up even greater chaos.


    As long as the victims’ families are offered some benefits, they won’t hesitate to escte the situation.


    Since they nned to blow up the mountain here, they were clearly prepared toy me on the project team.


    By then, with the matter making headlines, thepanies 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 uncontrobly 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 department. They’ll send someone to look into it.”


    William Hall is a strong suspect.
