Chapter 183 We must save Aunt You!
The system realized that if Long Xiaoxiao knew that You Ruyu had been arrested and sentenced, she would definitely cry, so it simply revealed its guess.
Upon hearing You Ruyu's name, Long Xiaoxiao immediately perked up, raised her head with a serious expression, and after the system finished speaking, she urgently said, "Uncle, we have to save Aunt You!"
The system choked, pondering how to clear You Ruyu's name. After thinking for a long time, it could only say to Long Xiaoxiao, "Why don't you just tell them that You Ruyu and the others are innocent?"
Long Xiaoxiao had a blank expression, but she nodded quickly. As soon as the system finished speaking, she rushed to Rong Ming and the others' side.
Rong Ming was talking about this with his friend when he saw Long Xiaoxiao suddenly fly over. He quickly turned to Long Xiaoxiao, stood still, nodded, and greeted her earnestly, "Azure Dragon God."
Long Xiaoxiao stopped in front of him and slowly spoke in a low voice: "There is more to this matter than meets the eye."
After saying that, Long Xiaoxiao stopped talking and didn't say anything more.
Rong Ming was taken aback, and immediately thought of what he had just said.
"Are you talking about the bridge across the river?" Rong Ming asked softly, still somewhat puzzled.
Long Xiaoxiao quickly nodded and said earnestly, "Yes."
Rong Ming was stunned. He hadn't expected Long Xiaoxiao to say that, but he quickly recovered and asked hesitantly, "Um... so what is the real truth?"
When asked about this, Long Xiaoxiao didn't know. After thinking for a long time, she finally said succinctly, "It was caused by those guys who caused the earthquake before!"
This statement startled Rong Ming, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he realized that what Long Xiaoxiao said seemed to make a lot of sense.
After all, if an earthquake can cause such a commotion, then destroying a cross-river bridge doesn't seem like a difficult task.
Thinking this through, Rong Ming quickly turned around and relayed the message to the relevant department, and also conveyed Long Xiaoxiao's intentions on the official account.
The public's interest in the Azure Dragon God was already soaring when they saw that the official announcement mentioned the Azure Dragon God, and now it's become even more heated.
"No way... what's the reason?"
"Was anyone nearby at the time? Could something have blown up the bridge?"
"Impossible. If such a thing really existed, the news wouldn't be about the cross-river bridge, but about someone buying a bomb."
"It seems right."
"So what exactly is the reason?"
"Yes, we can't just let the deceased die without knowing why, can we?"
"If I were a family member, I would have fainted from crying by now."
"And if it's not the construction company's responsibility, then who should take responsibility?"
"..."
The most discussed topic was compensation.
Since it's not the construction company's responsibility, who should bear the responsibility for compensating the deceased's family?
Upon receiving the message, the relevant departments, seeing that it was Long Xiaoxiao's doing, chose to believe her without hesitation. They then went to the site for further investigation, but found nothing unusual except for the softening of the material.
However, even they now realized something was amiss.
They came to inspect the site when the bridge was first completed, and the entire construction process was monitored in real time by the supervisory department. There were no abnormalities at that time, so how could the materials suddenly be changed to this?
The more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
They pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
In the end, the system remembered the surveillance footage that had been left over. After Long Xiaoxiao relayed the message to Rong Ming, it retrieved the video footage from the 24 hours before the bridge collapsed.
Rongming acted quickly, retrieving the video recording in no time and even setting up a large screen to project it.
Long Xiaoxiao obediently circled around the screen, while the system quietly pondered for a few seconds before asking Long Xiaoxiao to record the time after her confrontation with her aunt last night.
That is, the video was recorded around 11 p.m.
Long Xiaoxiao told Rong Ming about her request, and Rong Ming quickly pulled it up. Long Xiaoxiao looked at it intently.
As a water truck slowly sprayed water from one end of the bridge to the other, both Long Xiaoxiao and the system noticed something was wrong.
The driver in that car looks so much like Aunt Wang!
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. Aunt Wang should have been hospitalized at that time!
In the surveillance video, Aunt Wang in the driver's seat was expressionless, her face pale and gloomy, which looked increasingly eerie. Long Xiaoxiao decisively turned to Rong Ming and said, "Go find this car!"
Rong Ming glanced at the car, noted down the license plate number, and immediately sent a message to the relevant department, asking them to retrieve the vehicle's information.
Officials are always quick to act, especially since Rongming was the one giving the order this time. Before long, someone relayed the information. Rongming glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed a water truck, and the license plate number was correct.
So he sent someone to investigate where the car went afterward.
This time the message was slow, and the system couldn't wait any longer, so it searched the database itself and quickly browsed all the surveillance footage before finally finding a trace of the car.
After crossing the river bridge, it did not head towards the urban area of City A, but instead leisurely cruised towards the suburbs.
Long Xiaoxiao spoke to Rong Ming before the official reply could come: "In the suburbs."
Upon hearing those three simple words, Rong Ming quickly took action. He turned around and hurriedly led a large team to the suburbs to find the water truck.
You Ruyu was still in the interrogation room, but she was taken to the waiting room outside to drink hot tea and calm down.
Her electronic devices were removed when she entered the interrogation room, so she was unaware of what was happening outside. It was rare for You Ruyu's expression to show a hint of unease.
She wasn't too worried about herself; her only concern was You Huai.
Xiao Huai is still so young and has never seen such a big upheaval. I wonder if he is frightened. Yuan Wang will definitely take good care of Xiao Huai, but You Ruyu is still worried.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before someone brought news that Yuan Wang had brought You Huai to visit.
Before the end of her observation period, You Ruyu could not leave, but she could barely accept visits from relatives and friends. Because You Huai was young, the person in charge was a little more lenient and approved the visit.
You Ruyu was led outside and immediately saw You Huai being held in Yuan Wang's arms with tears in his eyes. As soon as You Ruyu came out, You Huai stretched his neck and called out in a choked voice, "Mom."
You Ruyu felt a pang of heartache and gently comforted him through the glass: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, don't be afraid, Xiao Huai is the strongest, right?"
You Huai remained silent, his lips pursed as he continued to sob.
Yuan Wang calmed down a bit and looked at You Ruyu with a calm gaze. She said, "Don't worry, we should be out soon."
