Chapter 655 Is this the remains of a detonator? !
This building was about to be completed. After the explosion, extensive cracks appeared in the wall, and there was a danger of collapse at any time.

An ambulance was parked at a safe distance, and stretchers were being carried out from the dangerous building.

The team leader responsible for the construction of the building came over and said, "Mr. Mu, you are here."

"What are the casualties?" Mu Jinhuan gave priority to the injuries of the workers.

"Two workers were measuring distance in the building at the time. They were too close to the explosion point and were seriously injured."

"In addition, about a dozen workers were hit by falling bricks and walls, fell from the scaffolding, and suffered varying degrees of minor injuries."

As he spoke, the construction team leader secretly observed Mu Jinhuan's expression.

After such a big incident, he may not be able to keep his position, and it's still unclear whether he will even receive his salary.

The construction team leader was frowning for a while, not knowing how to clean up this mess.

"Send the injured to the hospital for treatment first, especially the two workers who were seriously injured. We must ensure their life safety."

Mu Jinhuan glanced at the building calmly, "Cheng Feng, come in with me."

Cheng Feng followed Mu Jinhuan and was about to go in, but was stopped by the construction team leader.

"Mr. Mu, Special Assistant Cheng, this...it's very dangerous here!"

The construction team leader almost thought he heard wrong. Mr. Mu actually wanted to go in in person?

Mu Jinhuan glanced at him, "How can we find out the truth if we don't go in?"

This sentence confused the construction team leader, "Finding the truth?"

"This accident was an accidental explosion caused by a worker's operating error, leaving a dangerous gap. The responsibilities and powers are clearly defined. There is no need to spend any more time on this, right?"

The construction team leader had a terrible headache. The smell of explosives in the air was real. The cracked walls and crumbling load-bearing walls of the building were also real. Once an accident occurred, people would die!

Mu Jinhuan looked at the helpless look on the construction team leader's face and pointed at a deep pit on the east side of the building.

“Can a simple construction accident be so powerful?”

"Based on these traces at the scene, it is obvious that that is the center of the explosion. But there are no flammable and explosive items, not even a pipeline. Can't you see something strange about this explosion?"

After Mu Jinhuan's reminder, the construction team leader came to his senses.

He naturally placed the blame on the workers, but ignored many details of the explosion site and did not delve into the reasons behind the explosion.

He felt ashamed of his carelessness, "Mr. Mu, I'll go in with you!"

Several people walked into the building after the explosion. The ground and walls inside were also cracked and mottled to varying degrees, which showed the power of the explosion.

Mu Jinhuan walked along the traces of the explosion and came to a corner on the east side.

She pushed aside the messy bricks and stones on the ground with her feet, suddenly squatted down and found a piece of metal fragment from the pile of soil.

Cheng Feng took it and looked at it, and suddenly said in surprise, "It's the remains of a detonator!"

The construction team leader's scalp went numb. Detonators are professional blasting tools used to detonate explosives. Except for being used during demolition a few months ago, they have never appeared on the construction site again.

Someone actually dares to use such dangerous goods here. It is clear that they want to blow up the building regardless of the workers' lives!

Thinking of the workers who were covered in blood and being put into the ambulance, the construction team leader broke into a cold sweat.

"Who is so cruel? Aren't they afraid of causing death and being found out and facing lawsuits?" Now that the matter has been upgraded to a criminal case with suspicion of intentional crime, it makes him shudder.

"The murderer must be caught! How about we call the police now?"

Mu Jinhuan reached out and pinched a handful of soil, rubbed it twice with her fingertips, then brought it up to the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

"Of course we have to go through the reporting process, but we can't just sit back and wait."

"No one would risk doing something like this that endangers public safety for no reason. The most serious consequence of blowing up the building is that the commercial district cannot be completed as scheduled. The direction is so obvious, who do you think the murderer will be?"

The construction team leader suddenly realized, "You mean, our competitors arranged this explosion in order to prevent the smooth completion of the commercial district?"

He couldn't help but spit on the ground, "Bah! If you have the ability, wait until the commercial district is completed and opened, and let's have a real fight to see who has higher profits! What's the point of playing dirty tricks behind your back?"

Cheng Feng sneered, "Our commercial district is built to target first-class cities. Once it is completed and opened, the future will be immeasurable. Of course they will not dare to confront us head-on."

Mu Jinhuan walked around the building twice before turning around and giving instructions.

"Seal down the construction site and ask the workers to wait in their dormitories first, and then consider restarting construction after all safety hazards have been eliminated."

"Send people to search and guard around the construction site, and detain all suspicious persons found."

Cheng Feng asked hesitantly, "Mr. Mu, but even if we find out who the murderer is, the building has been destroyed, and we are destined to be unable to complete the construction of the commercial district on time."

"The advertisers and the stores have already negotiated, and most of the contracts have been signed. Once it is postponed, we will have to pay high liquidated damages..."

Mu Jinhuan's face was calm, "There must be a road to the mountain. You do as I say first, and I will discuss the rest with Manager Chi when I return to the company before making plans."

Mu Jinhuan drove back to the company. As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw Chi Gui walking out of the office with a serious look on his cell phone.

"Mumu, what's going on at the construction site?"

Chi Gui was originally working at Mu's office, but he only learned about the explosion at the construction site from the news on his mobile phone.

Mu Jinhuan looked back at the employees passing by and said in a low voice, "Let's talk after we go in."

After closing the door, Mu Jinhuan simply recounted what she had just discovered to Chi Gui.

Chi Gui sat on the sofa with a solemn expression, "There have been wild rumors outside about an explosion in the business district, and several online media have spread the word and spread bad rumors."

After taking Chi Gui's phone, Mu Jinhuan browsed it for a few times. When she saw the obviously inflammatory messages in the comment area, a cold light flashed under her eyes.

"This is their conspiracy, one link after another."

"First destroy the building, then spread the news, and use public opinion to put pressure on us."

Chi Guiye said in a deep voice, "No matter whether the explosion is successful or not, as long as this happens, they can make a big fuss out of it."

When the public opinion storm becomes difficult to control, even if Mu's building remains intact, it will be difficult to quell people's suspicions.

Mu Jinhuan's cell phone rang suddenly. She glanced at the caller ID and decisively refused to answer.

"Next, our phone calls will be blasted by reporters." Chi Gui showed a helpless smile.

Mu Jinhuan shook his head, "Don't worry about them for now. The top priority is to see how to transform the layout of the commercial district to minimize losses before the promised completion time."
