Dong Mingchao nodded with a hint of anxiety, discreetly wiping the cold sweat from his brow. He said, “To be honest with the Grand Commander and all the brothers here, I share your confusion regarding the events at Duke Mining. What I can offer at this moment is my general understanding of the situation surrounding Duke Mining.”
He continued, “Duke Mining specializes in a single product: finished phosphate. All of their phosphates are transported via the Moran National Railway directly from Duke Mining to the freight station at Casanca Port. The tradingpany I oversee has a transit warehouse located there. This facility is where all imported goods that have been cleared, as well as goods awaiting export clearance, are stored. Our employees handle the customs clearance procedures.”
“Every afternoon, Duke Mining sends a train loaded with phosphate to Casanca. Since thest upgrade of their production line and the resumption of operations, everything has been running smoothly for over three years without any issues. Yesterday, thest phosphate train arrived at the station around 6:10 PM, and everything appeared normal. The quality and quantity of the shipment were consistent with our usual standards. Following the incident yesterday, we quickly obtained the driving record from the train’s journey,paring it with previous records. From the moment the train arrived at Duke Mining until it loaded the goods and departed, nothing seemed out of the ordinary,”
he exined.
“Last night, I executed the nned operation for therge blood exchange and led a convoy to Duke Mining to transport the first group of participants to the airport. However, just as we arrived, an explosion urred at Duke Mining,” <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
he recounted.
Wu Shutong interjected coolly, “Let’s discuss what transpired after the explosion. What is the current status of the Moran government?”
Dong Mingchao responded hastily, “The explosion drew immediate attention from the local policest night. Given the severity of the situation, they escted the matter to the national level. The capital, Rabat, promptly dispatched an investigation team that arrived at Duke Mining early this morning. They conducted a preliminary investigation and inspection at the scene. Fortunately, there are currently no reports of casualties, so they have temporarily ssified the incident as a production responsibility ident. They are actively searching for the person in charge at Duke Mining because, in their view, the entire facility was seemingly obliterated, and everyone appears to have vanished simultaneously. This is indeed quite peculiar, but they have not disclosed the incident to the media, which is treating it merely as a significant safety ident.”
Wu Shutong then asked, “Who is responsible for Duke Mining? Is it one of the missing cavalry guards?”
Dong Mingchao replied, “There are six individuals in charge who reported to the local government. Five of them are among the cavalry guards, while the sixth is present here. However, we are hesitant to let the nominal person in chargemunicate with the government for fear that they may detain him to investigate the entire situation.”<fna597> Get full chapters from find~novel</fna597>
Wu Shutong nodded thoughtfully, “We must avoid confronting them for now. You mentioned that yesterday afternoon’s train video confirmed everything was normal, yet by 11 PM, Duke Mining was entirely deserted. It’s imusible for anyone to evacuate over 10,000 people in such a short time. The only logical exnation is that the other party has already initiated a quiet transfer, while continuing daily operations to avoid drawing attention.”
Dong Mingchao quickly affirmed, “What the Grand Commander says makes perfect sense; I believe the facts align with your assessment.”
Wu Shutong stated, “Next, I will organize you into three teams, each tasked with investigating in a specific direction.”
Upon hearing this, everyone straightened up and replied in unison, “We will obey the Grand Commander’s orders!”
Wu Shutong directed, “The first team will focus on Duke Mining, investigating whether anyone has visited in recent days. Check all avable cameras along the route and determine if any satellites have captured images of Duke Mining recently. Compare these with past satellite images to identify any significant discrepancies.”
“The second team should look into all personnel and vehicles that have exited Duke Mining in recent days. The movement of tens of thousands of people, even if spread over several batches, cannot bepletely hidden. With diligent observation, we should be able to uncover clues. I want to track the movements of everyone who left Duke Mining,”
he instructed.
“The third team will conduct a thorough search, originating from Duke Mining and extending into the surrounding areas. It’s impossible for tens of thousands of people to vanish instantly; they must be concealed somewhere within Moro. Even if we have to dig deep, we must find them!”
