Zhong Hua continued his investigation following the direction the van had traveled and discovered that it eventually stopped near an abandoned warehouse. Zhong Hua decided to go to the warehouse to check it out, hoping to find more clues there.
Chapter Nine: Danger Approaching
Zhong Hua cautiously approached the abandoned warehouse. The warehouse was surrounded by overgrown weeds, and the gate was tightly shut, indicating it hadn't been used for a long time. He went around to the back of the warehouse and found an unlocked window. He gently pushed open the window and climbed inside.
The warehouse reeked of a pungent odor and was piled high with various old and broken items. Zhong Hua searched the warehouse carefully and finally found some suspicious items in a corner. There were several bottles containing chemical liquids, without any labels, as well as some used syringes and strange tools. Zhong Hua guessed that these items might be related to arson.
Just as he was about to investigate further, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. Startled, Zhong Hua quickly hid behind a pile of clutter. Through the gap, he saw several men dressed in black enter the warehouse. They looked menacing and were carrying sticks. One of them said, "I heard a reporter has been investigating the fire from back then. Could he have found his way here?" Another said, "Who cares? If he really comes, we'll teach him a lesson and show him what happens when you meddle."
Zhong Hua realized he was in danger. He was careful not to make a sound and was thinking about how to escape.
Chapter Ten: The Truth Revealed
Just as Zhong Hua was feeling hopeless, he suddenly heard a police siren outside. The men in black, upon hearing the siren, paled and prepared to flee. It turned out that Uncle Lin, worried about Zhong Hua, had been secretly monitoring his movements. When he discovered Zhong Hua had arrived at the abandoned warehouse, concerned for his safety, he notified the police.
Police quickly stormed the warehouse and subdued the men in black. Zhong Hua emerged from his hiding place and recounted his findings to the police. Based on the clues provided by Zhong Hua, the police launched an in-depth investigation. Ultimately, the truth came to light.
It turns out that the factory's leaders, seeking illegal profits, colluded with some criminal elements to conduct illegal chemical experiments and transactions within the factory. Due to serious safety hazards, and fearing discovery, they orchestrated the fire to destroy evidence. Ah-Qiang was silenced because he discovered their secret.
Upon learning the truth, Zhong Hua was filled with mixed emotions. He had finally brought justice to A-Qiang, but he was also deeply saddened by the cruelty and cunning of the forces behind it all. This incident made Zhong Hua understand even more the significance of pursuing the truth, and he decided to use his pen to expose it to the public, allowing more people to understand the darkness behind it all. And the town could finally shake off the shadow of the fire and return to its former peace and tranquility.
