【The Mystery of the Construction Site-01】

The exam was over at 10:00 a.m. Since the course "City Collapse" was too physically exhausting, Yue Xingwen asked everyone to go back to the dormitory to hurry up to sleep and rest after lunch. He and Jiang Pingce also went back to take a nap for an hour.

Everyone kept their spirits up and gathered in the course selection hall of the School of Architecture on the 3rd floor at 13:40 in the afternoon.

According to the schedule of the School of Architecture, the compulsory course "Mystery of the Construction Site" will be offered at 14:00 every day from Monday to Friday. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce walked side by side to the tablet computer and selected this compulsory course from the curriculum .

Familiar course information quickly popped up on the screen—

【Required Course: Mystery of Construction Site】

After a year The development and construction of the seven-storey shopping plaza building has finally been capped in the near future]

[Exam Requirements: Crack the Mystery of the Construction Site]

[Remarks: For puzzle-solving courses, it is recommended to bring teammates majoring in construction]

【Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No】

Yue Xingwen had long guessed that this course was a puzzle-solving course, and when he saw this, he turned around and said to everyone: "This time it is not a limited course for the research group, and the credit sharing function cannot be used. That is to say, all 11 of us have to take the exam. ."

Qin Miao asked directly: "How many people are there in the examination room? We won't be matched with messy classmates again."

She hated the couple, Luo Jiajia and Lu Kai, who were matched at the inn last time. They didn't listen to the examiner's prompts and didn't collect clues. One panicked and fell to her death when they encountered trouble. It's best not to match random strangers in this class, just 11 of them.

Looking at Qin Miao's indifferent face, Yue Xingwen knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the upper limit of this exam room is 12 people, our research group has 11 places, and we will not randomly match 1 random person. come in."

Zhuo Feng walked over and said, "At the School of Architecture on the 3rd floor, there should be no single classmates. We are the best in the exam."

Yue Xingwen nodded and said, "Then I have signed up, everyone is ready."

He pressed the "Sign Up" option on the screen, and a prompt sounded in everyone's ears at the same time: "Your C-183 research group successfully signed up for the required course of the School of Architecture "Mystery of the Construction Site", the exam will start in 10 minutes, please do Prepare."

There were many empty classrooms nearby, and Zhuo Feng took everyone into a classroom to rest.

The 11 people sat and stood, as if they were waiting for the verdict in a court, with serious expressions on their faces.

The classroom fell silent for a while, and Liu Zhaoqing jokingly adjusted the atmosphere: "Puzzle-solving courses, you don't have to stress! With Xingwen and Peace, you will definitely pass the level. I will be responsible for healing you at any time, plus lying down to win."

Xu Yi stroked his curly hair deeply and said, "My split body, can you help me to find out the news?"

Zhuo Feng said, "I use electricity to light you?"

Lin Manluo looked at Yue Xingwen and joked, "What can my vines do? Let you guys swing?"

Senior Sister Yue Xing Wenchao smiled and comforted everyone: "It doesn't matter, since we are a team, we can use our brains, and we can contribute, there is no need to worry about who has the most role and who has the least help. Puzzle-solving courses , my analysis with Pingce may not be entirely correct, let's brainstorm."

Jiang Pingce said: "Listen to Xingwen's command, don't act without authorization."

Everyone nodded. The mystery of the construction site, where the "mystery" is is still unknown.

The exam time is coming soon, and with the "countdown to the exam" in the upper right corner, everyone's eyes flashed—

They appeared on a construction site.

11 people collectively changed into workers' clothes and safety helmets.

It's just that everyone's helmets are of different colors. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce wore red helmets, Zhang Xiaonian, Ke Shaobin, and Zhuo Feng wore blue helmets, and everyone else wore yellow helmets.

Jiang Pingce looked back at Yue Xingwen, the hat on Xingwen's head was too loose, it was worn on the side, covering one eye, and the expression on his face was a little confused. Jiang Pingce looked at Xingwen like this, chuckled lightly, and reached out to help him straighten his hat. Yue Xingwen quickly put on the shaking helmet, looked back at everyone and said, "Construction site? We want to Playing a worker?"

"Is my head too big? This hat is so tight." Xu Yishen whispered and took off the hat to adjust.

"You have too much hair and too thick curly hair." Zhuo Feng immediately complained.

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the classmates around: "Why are the hats different colors, what's the point?"

Zhang Xiaonian has a small head, and the hat is about to cover his entire head. He took off his hat, adjusted the tie, and answered seriously: "On construction sites, different colors of hats represent different identities. Ordinary construction workers wear yellow hats; skilled workers wear blue hats; red hats are for management; and white hats are also used. , is the person in charge of the entire project, and doesn't usually appear."

Liu Zhaoqing suddenly realized: "So, all of us wearing yellow hats are ordinary workers; Xiaoke, Xiaonian, Zhuo Feng, the three blue hats are technical workers, and Xingwen and Pingce's Little Red Riding Hood represent the management?"

Jiang Pingce said lightly: "Ke Shaobin and Zhang Xiaonian joined the engineer team, senior Zhuo Feng joined the electrician team, Xingwen and I joined the management team, and the others were with the construction workers to facilitate investigation of the case from different angles."

After hearing his analysis, everyone finally understood the purpose of wearing different hats on construction sites.

A fence was erected outside the construction site, with signs such as "The 8th Construction Corps of X Province" and "Xinyue Plaza Project in the Southern Suburbs of City A" painted on it. A large number of red ribbons were hung on a seven-storey building in front, which said It is full of golden characters "XX Group congratulates Xinyue Plaza project on its successful capping".

Yue Xingwen looked up: "Have you held a capping ceremony recently?"

Zhang Xiaonian said: "The construction team's project is divided into several stages. Usually, after the floor is capped, a capping ceremony will be held, and leaders will come to inspect it in person. After the capping is completed, the internal facilities will be completed."

Liu Zhaoqing touched his chin and looked up at the seven-story building in front of him: "As far as I know, it's actually quite fast to build a building alone, right? It shouldn't take too long for a building to go from laying the foundation to the top."

Zhang Xiaonian nodded and said: "Yes, the frame of the building is very easy to build. A fast construction team can build a floor in one day, and the bricks are built up layer by layer, just as fast as stacking wood. But from the top to the official delivery. , the time is relatively long. Internal fire, water, electricity, network, heating, these are the most troublesome work.”

Yue Xingwen pondered: "The current construction progress of this Xinyue Plaza project is that the main building of the plaza has just been capped, which means we have to stay at the construction site and continue the next project with them. What will be the case? Woolen cloth?"

Jiang Pingce said: "This time it should be a plot case. We can investigate and visit these people at the construction site."

The previous cases of the Mathematical Institute were the mystery cases in the play that had already happened. They were sent to the crime scene to find the corpse, clues, and deduce the process of the case.

This time the site is different. They're all wearing hard hats, maybe going through the murders themselves? Everyone is clueless. Yue Xingwen said: "Put on your safety helmet and go ahead and talk about it."

The construction site was surrounded all around, leaving only one entrance and exit, more than five meters wide and three meters high.

At the top of the entrance and exit, the words "safe passage" are written on a blue background and white banner, and there are warning symbols such as "pay attention to safety" and "beware of falling". On the left and right sides is a pair of couplets with white characters on a blue background. On the left is written "safe production, production is booming", and on the right is "civilization construction, construction is booming".

Everyone: "…"

It was the first time for everyone to come to a construction site. Looking at the building covered by the green safety net, the constantly working equipment and the "dong dong dong" construction site noise, it is inevitable that I will feel a little uneasy.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his ears: "Please wear your ID card on your chest and enter the construction site."

Yue Xingwen touched his pocket, and sure enough he found an ID card similar to a "representative card", which was tied with a blue rope. Everyone put the ID card on their chests. Go down into the safe passage.

There are many people on the construction site today, and the workers are all working hard, and there are also a few middle-aged people wearing white hats.

Zhang Xiaonian came over, pointed at them, and said softly, "Those few should be the leaders who came to inspect the construction site."

Surrounded by a group of people, several leaders inspected the construction site. The surrounding construction workers were busy with each other. Some were mixing cement, some were moving bricks, and some were welding metal beside them. .

The cluttered sounds and pictures made Yue Xingwen's head buzz.

Jiang Pingce frowned, and his eyes quickly swept across the construction site—I saw a crane parked on the sixth floor, and someone was standing in the crane to repair the wall; some excavators and cranes were parked in the distance; Delivering building materials.

Where the **** could it go wrong?

Jiang Pingce whispered in Yue Xingwen's ear: "It's too messy, we have to get the drawings of the construction site."

Yue Xingwen nodded and looked at everyone: "One is the design drawing and construction drawing of this building, and the other is the floor plan of the construction site. The construction drawing will be handed over to Ke Shao and Xiaonian, and we will examine the distribution map of the construction site. Circle and draw it yourself."

Ke Shaobin asked, "Then Xiao Nian and I will go to their office first and copy the construction drawings?"

Zhang Xiaonian said in a low voice: "The leaders came to inspect today. The blue hats next to the white hats should be designers and engineers. At this time, their offices are probably empty. We can sneak in and kidnap them. They computer the data, or just make a copy of a drawing they have drawn."

The two looked at each other, and just as they were about to walk forward, Yue Xingwen said, "Xin Yan, Qin Lu, keep up with the protection."

Once Ke Shaobin and Zhang Xiaonian had an accident, they were unable to protect themselves. Yue Xingwen sent two bodyguards to them.

Yue Xingwen said: "Senior Brother Zhuo, Senior Sister Lin, you two, check the general distribution of water and electricity at the construction site."

Zhuo Feng nodded and simply took Lin Manluo and left.

The rest followed Yue Xingwen around the construction site.

Liu Zhaoqing lowered his voice and guessed: "Construction sites are the most prone to accidents. Will construction workers fall to their deaths? Or, digging and digging up a pile of corpses during construction?"

Xu Yishen reluctantly held up his safety helmet: "You stop and make up your mind first."

Yue Xing Wendao: "What Brother Liu said is possible. No matter what happens next, we will do the preparatory work first and be prepared. At least there are many people on the construction site this time, and there is no need to be chased by ghost brides in the middle of the night like last time. . In modern construction sites, there should not be any plots of grievances."

Qin Miao said coldly: "The library will be too boring if you ask for your life again."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded in agreement: "I am really tired of reasoning about the night battle royale during the day. I hope this time, the library will allow us to sleep peacefully at night."
