After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Danger (7) Finding Evidence

The car arrived at the fireworks factory. The driver asked for confirmation a few times, and Hannah answered with certainty that this was the place. Only then did the driver drive away.
Hannah turned on the flashlight on her phone and walked in with help of the light.
The building in front of her was in ruins. Obviously, it had undergone a terrible fire. Basically speaking, only the frame of the whole factory remained. Hannah went in carefully.
It was past eleven o'clock in the evening.
The fireworks factory was located in kind of a remote rural area and was a little far away from the downtown. In such a dark night, it was gloomy and somewhat terrifying.
The thought of fear was more than she could handle. Besides, there were so many people loosing their lives here today. Thinking of this, Hannah couldn't help but quiver. But she still forced herself to enter the factory and started to examine it as carefully as she could.
She thought that since it had been a drug trafficking base, there would be some clues left. However, it was too dark in the factory and the light of the flashlight was limited, so she could not see everything clearly enough.
Keeping a power bank, she still worried that her phone would run out of battery sooner or later if she continued to use her phone like this.
After a moment of hesitation, she decided to stay in this place for the night and search for what she wanted the next day. Having made up her mind, she found a rather clean place and sat down.
Since she had nothing to do, the surroundings became eerily silent, which made her feel afraid. Sometimes one was easily spooked by one's own imagination.
Hannah gritted her teeth and comforted herself wit the thought that it would be fine as long as she held on for a few hours.
Over the past night, she had been sitting there all the time.
Finally, it was dawn. Hannah couldn't sleep a wink all night. She was also afraid that she might catch a cold if she slept here. When she saw dawn break, she moved her stiff body and got up, then she started doing her work in the factory.
She was very careful about the search. However, unexpectedly, everything was cleaner than she had imagined. Someone must have cleaned the scene beforehand.
After all, a day had passed since the accident. There was enough time to erase the evidence at the same time as the rescue operation was carried out.
Hannah was a little discouraged. She thought that all efforts might be in vain while Oscar was risking his life.
'But Oscar would not do anything he was not sure of. Could it be that he had already found the evidence and he just did not have time to expose it because of an emergency? If he had found the evidence, where would he keep it?' Hannah had a lot of questions.
She managed to calm herself down. And she remembered that Thoth said Oscar came here for evidence and he was discovered before he could send out the evidence. Then, someone exploded the bombs to destroy everything in the factory, including all the evidence. In such a short time, suppose that Oscar had collected the proof and hid it somewhere, where would he hide it? He couldn't have brought it with him since if anything went wrong, the truth would never come out. To be on the safe side, Oscar would not keep it with him.
Hannah suddenly quivered.
Ever since the explosion, Oscar's phone had been turned off. There was a possibility that Oscar turned off his phone because he was afraid that he would be located by someone. On the other hand, he might have possibly stored everything on his phone. After all, a phone was the best storage tool.
At the thought of this, Hannah shifted her attention to searching for a cell phone. She knew in her gut, if Oscar wanted to hide the evidence somewhere, the factory was the place. On the one hand, he did not have much time to take it out to some other places. On the other hand, the most dangerous place was the safest place. It would hardly occur to people that Oscar would leave the evidence at the scene.
If that was the case, he would probably bury it underground. All she needed to do was to rummage through the ground.
It cost Hannah a long time to search every corner at the factory, from day to night. It was not as simple as she had thought.
Hannah was a little disappointed. After spending the whole day bending over and searching without a break, she was so tired that she could not straighten her back at all. She thought that her speculation was too idealistic. Nothing would happen in the way she imagined. Just when Hannah was about to give up, she suddenly spotted a small part of an object under a broken floor.
She hurriedly went over and removed the tiles, seeing a familiar black cell phone underneath. It was Oscar's.
Hannah felt excited at once. But she tried hard to conceal her excitement to act calm.
She sat on the ground and was about to turn it on.
"What a pity. It's all wrecked anyway."
Suddenly, there came a voice of a strange man. Hannah was startled. She held the phone tight and quickly hid behind the ruins, not daring to make any movements.
"Who knows how much we have lost?" Another man said angrily, "I told you not to buy shares in the first place. Getting a share of the net profit would be enough. But you were just so bold and insisted on buying shares. Now, it's great. I'm even losing my own money."
"Don't worry. As long as this thing is kept a secret, we will still have a chance to get everything back. Now, the most important thing is not to draw the attention of the police in Kensbury City to this matter. We can treat it as an accidental explosion at the fireworks factory and muddle through. After everything returns to normal, we can continue to make money!"
"I know it, but I heard that Oscar, the guy who is from the City Hall came here a few days ago, appears to be investigating this matter. It's said that he's chasing after Chester now!"
"If he could catch Chester, I'll say he's quite capable. But even if he did, he would just end up dead! You don't have to worry. As long as he's in here, he would not be able to escape me."
"Have you dealt with his assistant, the guy called Thoth?"
"Yes, I have. I sent someone to throw him into the Blue River last night. He thought that he had helped me crack a big case. How stupid!"
"Don't take it lightly. Last night, Jason was taken away and has not been found yet. What's worse, the surveillance cameras had been tampered with. We have no idea who did it at all! I suspect it was Theodore and his people. But now we've lost track of them. Every time I think of this matter, I'm deeply troubled."
"Take it easy. I've arranged for our guys to guard the way leading out of the town. They won't be able to escape. Once they're caught, they'll be thrown into the Blue River."
"Anyway, I lost too much money this time. You must compensate me later."
"I will. You can count on it!" The man said, "All right, we can go now. We have done enough to keep up appearance here."
The footsteps of those two gradually went away. Hannah's heart was racing. She looked at the recording app on her phone and pushed stop with a trembling hand.
She was so careful in case the voice recording would suddenly disappear. After a long while, Hannah was finally certain that the recording had been successfully stored in the phone. Then, she let out a sigh of relief and turned on Oscar's phone.
