Hu Haidong's expression suddenly turned serious, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
He spoke slowly.
"This matter is really quite unbelievable."
He paused briefly, as if gathering his thoughts, before continuing.
"Director Liu, why don't you come with me and take a look?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Haidong turned around without hesitation and walked steadily into the corridor.
Xiao Weiguo and Jiao Bai, who were standing to the side, quickly exchanged a glance, nodded to each other in understanding, and then strode after him.
To ensure the site remains undamaged so that subsequent investigations can proceed smoothly, all residents of the apartment have been temporarily evacuated to other locations.
The entire corridor was unusually quiet and deserted at this moment, and even exuded a creepy and eerie atmosphere.
Hu Haidong always walked at the front of the group, his steps firm and steady. Before long, they arrived at the deepest part of the corridor.
This is at the very end of the apartment building, and what you see here is the last house.
The door wasn't locked; it could be opened with a gentle push.
Hu Haidong reached out and grasped the doorknob, slowly pushed the door open, and stepped into the room.
After entering the room, Hu Haidong stood to the side, slightly raised his hand to gesture for Liu Changhe, who followed him in, and said this.
"Director Liu, please come and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo couldn't suppress his curiosity and quickly craned his neck to look into the house.
It turned out that this room was actually a room specifically used to store miscellaneous items, with various cleaning staff's daily tools and all sorts of odds and ends piled up haphazardly inside.
On the back wall of the storage room, there is a huge outward-opening glass window.
However, at this moment, the entire window had been removed for some unknown reason, leaving only an empty window frame standing there abruptly.
Liu Changhe stared intently at the empty window, as if he could see everything that had happened in the past through it. His brows furrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Hu Haidong stood quietly behind Liu Changhe, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"Director Liu, based on the evidence collected at the scene, this group of people did indeed escape successfully from this place before the security guards arrived."
Having said that, he strode quickly to the window, pointed outside, and continued his explanation.
"Look, if you go out from this position, you'll be right at the wall that they broke through beforehand."
Moreover, beyond the wall lay an endless expanse of open field. Looking at the wheat field behind, there were very clear and haphazard trampling marks, leading us to conclude that they had escaped our sight via this path.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo quickly followed and stood with him by the window.
His gaze was fixed on the conspicuous large hole in the outer wall, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.
After a moment's thought, he turned to look at Hu Haidong and asked.
"Captain Hu, does that mean they first sneaked in through this hole and then quietly circled around to the main entrance to commit their crimes?"
When it was time to leave, because they already knew that the back window of the room faced the hole, they were able to slip away so calmly and stealthily, thus evading the security guards' pursuit?
Hu Haidong nodded slightly and said with certainty.
"Based on the current survey results we have, this is indeed the case."
Xiao Weiguo, whose expression was already solemn, frowned even more as he continued to press for answers while deep in thought.
"So, does this mean that at least one person in this group has an extraordinary level of familiarity with this apartment—the scene of this incident?"
Upon hearing Xiao Weiguo's words, Hu Haidong did not reply immediately, but exchanged another glance with Liu Changhe, as if they both understood each other.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Haidong's face showed a look of satisfaction, and he nodded vigorously again, indicating that he completely agreed with Xiao Weiguo's point of view.
"What Chairman Xiao said is absolutely right. In my personal opinion, I also think so. Among this group of vicious thugs, there must be employees of the textile factory, or staff members who are very familiar with this apartment."
Otherwise, they could never have remained so calm and composed after committing the crime, managing to evade the security guards' thorough search and pursuit.
After listening to Hu Haidong's insightful analysis and reasoning, Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but agree, and at the same time, he himself fell into deeper contemplation.
Hu Haidong's meaning couldn't be clearer!
There must be a mole in the textile factory who colluded with outsiders; otherwise, how could they have caused such a shocking and horrific case and then left unscathed?
And the group's purpose was obvious—this seemingly ordinary apartment was their primary target.
After they burst in like ghosts, incredibly, besides indiscriminately shooting innocent people, they completely ignored the belongings of everyone in the apartment.
Even those hiding in the room did not harm him in the slightest.
However, this group of vicious thugs rushed straight to the fifth floor and mercilessly killed Tiger, who lived there.
Judging from all indications, the true objective of their operation is becoming increasingly clear.
Without a doubt, it's most likely his younger brother, Xiao Jian!
If it weren't for Hu Zi risking his life to block the door with his body, buying precious time...
By the time the security guards had recovered and were able to react, Xiao Jian had likely already met with misfortune and was unlikely to escape this calamity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but gasp. His guilt towards Hu Zi intensified.
If they are indeed targeting Xiao Jian, then another problem arises.
Xiao Jian was just a greenhorn fresh out of school.
Although he is now a general manager, he doesn't have many opportunities to interact with outsiders. His subordinates usually handle business dealings with outsiders.
In terms of sales, there's no risk of making enemies, because the textile factory currently only lends its services to Panlong Garment, so there's no competition with outsiders.
How could he have made such a huge grudge against someone that so many people would go to such lengths to send gunmen to openly assassinate him at the textile factory?
After much thought, Xiao Weiguo finally came to a conclusion.
Perhaps those people's real target wasn't Xiao Jian, but rather their true aim was to strike at Xiao Weiguo himself by assassinating him.
Crack down on Panlong Group.
Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo's anger gradually rose higher and higher.
