Chapter 289 – God of Plague! (2/2)

“Don’t worry. It is coincident and has nothing to do with me.” Dong Xuebing calmly replied. “Sister Hu, help me thank Mayor Xie for her concern.”

“Good to hear that.” Hu Silian laughed and chatted with Dong Xuebing for a while before hanging up.

Hu Yiguo and the Officers from the Public Security Bureau arrived at the hospital. Meng Xianglin is in terrible condition and had to undergo a series of checks. Hu Yiguo is unable to get his statement and can only ask what happened from the witnesses. At the same time, he sent his men to find out the cause of the elevator failure.

In an office.

Hu Yiguo looks at two nurses coldly. “You all saw Chief Dong with Chief Meng before the accident?”

One of the nurses replied. “Yes.”

“What happened?”

“They had a fierce argument, and many people saw it.”

Hu Yiguo frowned. “What happens next?”

“After that, Chief Dong said something to Chief Meng, and they entered the elevator.”

“Then why is Chief Meng alone in the elevator?”

The nurse replied. “When the elevator doors are closing, Chief Dong stepped out. He had forgotten to collect his mother’s medicine.”

After questioning the witness, Hu Yiguo started to suspect Dong Xuebing. He had some grudges with Dong Xuebing in the past and had gotten a warning because of him. Dong Xuebing also cause him to lose his backing, the former Party Secretary. Naturally, he hopes Dong Xuebing was the one who caused this accident. What he got from the witnesses confirmed his suspicions. Dong Xuebing has something to do with this accident!

This accident is too coincidental to be true!

Hu Yiguo immediately goes to the surveillance room to view the CCTV footage.

In the CCTV recordings, Dong Xuebing’s weird behavior confirmed Hu Yiguo’s suspicion. But after reviewing all the footage before the accident, he noticed Dong Xuebing had never got close or did anything to the elevators. It is impossible to cause an elevator to fall by pressing the buttons. Someone must enter the elevator shaft to cut the cables or meddle with the elevator engine from inside. But Dong Xuebing had not even got close to the elevator shaft or stayed too long in the elevator.

Did Dong Xuebing hire someone to do it?

Hu Yiguo continued with the investigation, but the outcome was not what he expected.

No one had repaired or entered the elevator shaft in the past two days, and nothing was captured on the CCTV footage!

Deputy Bureau Chief Gong Zhongwen had also arrived at the hospital. When he saw Hu Yiguo firmly believe Dong Xuebing was the one behind the accident, he said with a frown. “Chief Hu, if it was Chief Dong who tried to kill Chief Meng in this accident, Chief Dong must make preparations like entering the elevator shaft or loosening some screws and nuts. But no one, including Chief Dong, had entered the elevator shaft in the past two days. How can he control the elevator to fall as and when he likes? This is impossible. Furthermore, no one knows Chief Meng will be coming to the hospital today. If Chief Dong had planned to kill Chief Meng, how did he know Chief Meng will be coming today, and he will be going up to the fifth floor? How is he going to make sure Chief Meng will be the one using the elevator and not someone else?”

Chief Gong had mentioned something critical. This accident is not planned.

There is not enough time! No one can cause a lift to fall within a few minutes!

At the elevator, technicians who were investigating the cause of the accident, concluded that the elevator had failed because of wear and tear of the parts, and there were no signs of anyone tampering with it. This is confirmed to be an accident!

Hu Yiguo refused to accept it and continued to investigate. But in the end, he had to admit Dong Xuebing has nothing to do with Meng Xianglin’s accident.

The evidence and logic did not point to Dong Xuebing.

This incident is confirmed to be an accident!

But even when everyone knows this is an accident, they were still shocked!

Liang Chengpeng slapped his forehead after reading the incident report.

Xiang Daofa, who is in his office at the Party Committee Building, frowned.

Xie Huilan shook her head and smiled. Her Secretary, Hu Silian, was looking at her, trying to hold back her laughter.

Everyone knew Chief Dong’s nickname. The nickname, ‘God of Plague,’ was given to him after the Jin De Mansion case. Due to a lack of evidence, Qian Fei was released unconditionally, and a falling flowerpot hit him on the same day he was released. The impact damaged Qian Fei’s brain, and he is still in the hospital. When the flower pot fell on Qian Fei, Chief Dong was beside him, and the latter had deep grudges with him.

It had happened again!

This time, it’s a falling elevator!

Something bad will happen to the ones who had grudges with Dong Xuebing. The first time was a falling flowerpot, and now, it is a falling elevator.

Now, even the atheists in the Bureau started to doubt themselves!

Chief Dong is not called the ‘God of Plague’ for nothing!

It’s too abnormal!
