“That’s not all. They were the ones who spread rumors about how our construction site has bad vibes. From what I can tells, it seemed like they wanted to attack the construction site and bring the construction of the entire building to a halt.
“I rejected them then, but I don’t know who they contacted next. I am certain, though, that someone did get bribed into working for them.
“Because they contacted me the day before yesterday and said that they were going to cause an incident at the construction site. They told me I didn’t have to do anything, but just turn a blind eye to what was happening since someone else would do the dirty work for them.
“Coupled with what happened at the site today, I suspect the project manager.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes and asked Rohin, “So you decided to get drunk and have fun in the duty room yesterday?”
Rohin immediately replied, “I am grateful that Mr. Tucker appreciates my work. I may act high and mighty but I am still not fully aware of my strengths or shortcomings.
“It was by pure coincidence yesterday that a few old classmates of mine came to Waterhoof City. I hadn’t seen them for years and I had to welcome them, but it wouldn’t be right for me to leave the duty room while I was on shift either. Thus, I ended up welcoming them in the duty room instead.”
Jasper neither approved nor disapproved of Rohin’s explanation before he asked another question.
“Why do you suspect the project manager? The project manager isn’t the only one capable of plotting these things on the construction site. What about the security officer? Or even the construction foremen or the general contractor? There are plenty of people to suspect.”
Rohin chuckled wryly and responded, “Mr. Laine, I dug around a little and I found out.
“While that project manager is pretty capable, he’s a gambling man through and through. He has a huge debt to repay and debt collectors have actually come to the construction site to demand that he pay them back on more than one occasion.
“The company’s high salary is the only thing supporting him and stopping his debt collectors from killing him.
