Director Song still wanted to say how frightening the car accident was but she could already hear the disconnected tone on her phone. Her fingers were still rubbing her temple. Her brother-in-law has never hung up on people before.
She threw the phone to one side and closed her eyes to calm her emotions down.
The driver was still not rescued. The road leading to the airport was blocked entirely. The traffic police cleared the railings in the middle of the road and used one lane on the other side to allow cars to drive towards the airport. This prevented a complete blockage of the route.
When the sky lit up, they could tell how dangerous the accident was. Everyone felt fortunate that it happened during the early morning when there were not many cars. Based on how the truck drove onto the other side of the road and skidded there… If it really hit the cars on the road, all the smaller cars would be squashed into scrap iron!
"Commissioner…" A police officer ran over. Commissioner Yang kept his phone and imdiately undertook the nervous rescue mission.
"Just now, when we were inspecting the tires of the truck, we found four steel nails in the front tire that had burst. The preliminary deduction is that the driver didn't notice the steel nails because of his negligence and caused this accident." The police officer that ran over reported their findings in detail.
The people beside him were the driver's friends, old buddies that drove trucks along with the driver.
"After going down the highway, we specially went to the maintenance workshop for a maintenance check. Then, we rested for a while before we started driving again. Commissioner, we can swear that there were no nails in the tire. These nails are huge. We have been driving for around seven years. We will definitely notice it."
The driver was from Henan so he had a strong accent. The police officer added, "The four steel nails are the most common 2.4-inch steel nails. Once they stab into a tire, they will cause the tire to burst when the vehicle moves at a high speed. The truck lost control because of this and caused the accident."
"That's right. We are experienced drivers. The lives of our family depend on the truck. How can we be careless about it? Before we co on the highway and after we get off it, we will stop the truck for an inspection." The driver's eyes were red. He wiped his tears as he continued, "Old Guan is our master.
Ever since we started driving, we have been following him. How is it possible that he didn't notice the nails? How can he be so careless? Yesterday night, Old Guan personally inspected his truck with a flashlight."
Commissioner Yang took a nail over to have a look. This was a brand new steel nail and the most common ones too. At first, they thought that this was just a normal accident caused by a burst tire but after listening and analyzing the situation, this didn't seem to be a normal car accident.
"Bring the people over from the maintenance workshop for questioning. Then, question the driver's wife. Also, call the police station and ask them to send people over." Commissioner Yang quickly gave his orders and took control of the situation so that his subordinates could start their work orderly.
As they were waiting for the police station to send people over, Commissioner Yang called Director Song again. He needed to ask Ye Jian if she noticed anything at the scene after the accident happened.
After all, Ye Jian had a photographic mory and helped the police to solve a huge case before.
Ye Jian had already entered the airport and was on the first floor looking at the directory. Suddenly, she heard soone looking for her from the announcent. Towards the end, she realized that it was Miss Song who was looking for her so she moved her legs and walked towards the reception desk.
Miss Song was Director Song.
When she reached the reception desk, she saw Director Song holding her phone and looking around to find where she might appear from.
Ye Jian hurried over and waved her hand to greet Director Song. "Auntie Song, I'm here."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I called you over again. Yang Heng's father has so urgent matters. He said that he wants to ask about the scene of the accident." As Director Song spoke, she passed her phone to Ye Jian. "He said that I must look for you. Don't be afraid. You just have to say what you saw."
