Chapter 71 Chapter 71

"Hey, Bill, how are you?" Bill Strauss had just come out of the Trent Mining office and was walking to his car.Puller stood leaning against his Malibu.He has been waiting here for almost an hour. "Pooler? What are you doing here?" Puller straightened up beside the car and came toward him. "Doing my job. A few questions. Do you have time?" Strauss glanced at his watch. "I have a meeting, in fact I'm already late." "It won't take up any more of your time." "Can't you wait?" "Really can't, no." "Okay, let's talk."

"The blasting of mines last Sunday. Who approved this without prior notice?" Strauss looked taken aback. "What are you talking about?" "Last Sunday night there was an explosion on a mining site of the Trent Mining Company. You were required to give advance notice to the public as a rule. And Sundays are generally not used for blasting, so you had to get special permission for that." .You didn't make an announcement. What about special permission to blast on Sunday? Do you have one?" "I must check the records." "Roger said he knew nothing about it. Who in the company is in charge of this?"

"It stands to reason that I, the chief operating officer, should be in charge. But I have too many things to do, so I have to entrust others to help me manage some things. We have a special person in charge of blasting permits and notification to the public." "Then I should talk to these people." "That's right. Unfortunately, they're not here. They're based in Charleston." "Can you give me their contact information?" "Does it matter? Those people didn't die on mining sites." "That's still important. Can you give me their contact information?"

"Okay," Strauss said slowly. "Great. I want to get it tomorrow." "I can not confirm--" Puller cut him off. "Did you see your son this time?" "no, what happened?" "Just a question. Are you also a member of Shangdu?" "What? No, I'm not." "I won't delay you, let's go to your meeting." Puller got into the Malibu and left.On the way, he called Dicky and arranged to meet each other at night. Puller returned to the hotel to find a shiny blue Bentley parked there with Roger Trent behind the wheel.
