【The Mystery of the Construction Site 11】

Whether Zhao Dayong was diagnosed with liver cancer, Yue Xingwen and Liu Zhaoqing went directly to his nephew Zhao Liang to ask: "Is your uncle feeling unwell recently? For example, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.?"

Zhao Liang was stunned for a while, then looked at Liu Zhaoqing doubtfully: "How do you know?"

Yue Xingwen said: "He does have such a situation, right?"

Zhao nodded brightly and said, "He often has diarrhea recently. I asked him what happened. He said that he had a bad stomach and was not used to the meals on the construction site. It will be fine after a few days."

Vomiting, diarrhea, these gastrointestinal symptoms are the common clinical manifestations of liver cancer. Liu Zhaoqing then asked, "Do you know if he has been to the hospital recently?"

"I don't know. I have been staying in my hometown since the college entrance examination, and I haven't seen him for several months. Last month, he suddenly called home and asked me to come to the construction site to help me. I learned the craft by the way, and I came here by car." At this point, Zhao Liang bowed his head sadly: "It's all my fault, I didn't take care of him before, I used all the money he sent me to play games... Uncle is gone, I don't know what to do in the future. ."

Liu Zhaoqing patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "You are only 18 years old. Didn't the construction team give you a lot of compensation? Make good use of this money and learn some skills."

Zhao Liang said softly: "I know, I will not spend this money indiscriminately."

Turning around on the way back, Liu Zhaoqing asked in a low voice, "Xingwen, do you think this Zhao Liang is ignorant?"

Yue Xingwen carefully recalled Zhao Liang's performance after the incident, seeing his uncle's tragic collapse and crying, the innocent look in his eyes when he was taken away by the police, and the loss of his uncle's expression, all of which did not seem to be pretending. Yue Xingwen sighed and said, "Maybe, in order to protect this nephew, Zhao Dayong didn't tell him his plan."

Liu Zhaoqing said: "In this way, Zhao Dayong is really benevolent and righteous to his nephew."

After Yue Xingwen returned to the dormitory, he and Jiang Pingce went to Zhao Anming, Zhao Dayong's roommate, to find out if Zhao Dayong had been to the hospital recently.

Zhao Anming said mysteriously: "I found the test sheet in Dayong's drawer, but I couldn't understand it. Anyway, there were several abnormal data on enzymes. He secretly shredded the test sheet and threw it away."

With abnormal laboratory data and long-term diarrhea, Zhao Dayong's inference of diagnosing liver cancer seems to be correct. There should be not many people who know about this matter. As a roommate, Zhao Anming is the easiest person to approach Zhao Dayong and know the truth.

Is he pretending to be innocent on purpose, or is he really ignorant?

Jiang Pingce asked, "Did you go out yesterday afternoon?"

"No, I was chatting with Zhao Qiang and the others yesterday. A Qiang said that he would have a wedding with Xuemei when he came home this year, and he asked me to help us welcome the relatives. I agreed." Zhao Anming smiled and scratched his head, "I thought Xuemei was going to be married. Dayong and Dayong are a pair, Dayong often sends her things, but I didn't expect that she and Ah Qiang are a pair..."

Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen, Yue Xingwen exchanged a few words with Zhao Anming, and left the dormitory.

Zhao Anming and the deceased Zhao Dayong were roommates, and it was convenient to approach each other. He learned that the other party was suffering from cancer at the first time, and persuaded him to commit suicide as a bait to lure President Jiang out. However, when President Jiang disappeared yesterday, Zhao Anming had not left the construction site?

If you haven't left the construction site, how can you kill President Jiang?

Yue Xingwen said: "He was chatting with people at the construction site yesterday afternoon. Could it be that he is really just an insider of Zhaojia Village who loves gossip? President Jiang is missing and has nothing to do with him?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Ask others to see if he is lying."

Yue Xingwen wrote a line on the research group channel and asked everyone to visit the workers separately and ask who left the construction site yesterday afternoon. However, the results of the investigation left everyone at a loss——

No one left the site yesterday afternoon.

Zhao Xuemei, Zhao Qiang, and Zhao Anming, the key "Zhaojia Village suspects", all stayed at the construction site and got together to chat. The content of the chat was about going home for the New Year and getting married. At that time, there were still many people chatting together, and several female workers told Xuemei what they needed to prepare for the wedding.

So many people can prove that they have been on the construction site all day, how can they have clones to kill President Jiang?

Yue Xingwen was puzzled: "President Jiang left in a car, we all saw it with our own eyes? If you want to kill President Jiang, you have to leave the construction site... Unless President Jiang goes and returns?"

Jiang Pingce said: "According to the assistant's statement, Jiang Dexin's car suddenly said that he had a personal matter to deal with and got off alone. No one knows where he went after getting off. Maybe he returned to the construction site, or even walked through the underground passage? "

Yue Xingwen pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. He must have received information from the murderer threatening him, such as the truth about Qingshui Bay. President Jiang is guilty of being a thief, so of course he has to interview the murderer. He thought that the other party was just extorting money from him. , I didn't think the other party would kill him directly?"

Xu Yishen asked: "If the murderer directly invites him to the construction site and asks him to go through the underground passage, will Mr. Jiang, a shrewd businessman, foolishly go to the underground garage alone to negotiate with others? He is not afraid of danger?"

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, and said, "There are two possibilities. First, the murderer did not know what reason to threaten Jiang Dexin to come to the vicinity of the construction site, and then went out through the underground passage, knocked him unconscious while President Jiang was not paying attention, and dragged him. Go back to the construction site to kill and hide the body; second, the murderer is not among the suspects at the construction site, yesterday afternoon, he killed President Jiang outside and hid the body."

Zhang Xiao Young said: "Our scope of activities is limited to this construction site, and we are not allowed to go out. If the murderer kills and hides the body outside, we can't check it at all, right? So, I prefer that President Jiang's body is hidden. On the construction site!"

Everyone: "..."

The logic is correct. They couldn't leave the construction site, and they couldn't go to the whole city A to investigate and visit, so if Jiang Dexin really died, it was probably related to this construction site.

Yue Xingwen said, "Let's go, go to Soso underground garage."

Everyone immediately acted, following the simulated path that Ke Shaobin had built a long time ago, went down from the manhole cover on the other side of the pedestrian street, and started a carpet-like search of the underground garage.

The construction progress of the convex-shaped garage is still in the early stage, and even the electric lights have not been installed. Xin Yan used alcohol lamps to illuminate the light. Everyone opened Ke Shaobin's laptop map, starting from the lower left corner, and carefully searched the entire two floors of the underground garage. No bloodstains were found, nor the rotten smell of the corpse.

Liu Zhaoqing wondered: "The average temperature these days is around 30 degrees. As long as the corpse is not frozen in the refrigerator for so long, it will definitely smell. There is no strange smell or blood in the underground garage... How did they deal with the corpse? ?"

With Xin Yan's alcohol lamp suspended in the air, Yue Xingwen quickly looked around in the warm light.

The entire underground garage was dark and cold, with no end in sight. The ground was not even brushed with cement, and the surrounding walls and stone pillars were in their most primitive state. Where else could the corpses be hidden?

Thinking of the secret room found in the inn before, Yue Xingwen said, "Will there be a hidden secret room?"

Zhang Xiaonian said: "It shouldn't be. We downloaded the construction drawings on the first day we came to the examination room and checked all the data carefully. There was no problem of inconsistency between the data like the inn. The length, width and height of the underground garage. , We personally measured it with a laser rangefinder that day, and the data is exactly the same as the drawing, and there will be no additional secret rooms."

Jiang Pingce suggested: "There is no underground. Go to the building that has been capped. The Xinyue Building is also connected to the underground garage. Maybe they will move the body upstairs."

Everyone came to the location just below Xinyue Square, Yue Xing Wen said: "Let's search separately. Brother Zhuo, Brother Xu, and Sister Lin go to Area A, Qin Lu, Qin Miao, Ke Shao, and Xin Yan go to Area B, I Go to Area C with Ping Ce, Senior Brother Liu, and Xiao Nian, and send a message to the research group channel to confirm at any time."

According to Yue Xingwen's arrangement, the troops were divided into three groups, starting from the first floor and searching for the seventh floor one by one.

The research group channel kept popping up messages from everyone: "On the 1st floor of Area A, no abnormality was found."

"The second floor of Area B has been searched, and there is no abnormality..."

The four of Yue Xingwen came to Area C and searched the first floor.

The building has just been capped, and is currently undergoing internal construction. There are some traces of cement repairs on the walls. The entire building is extremely empty, without a single person or trace of blood.

Search all the way from the first floor to the sixth floor.

At the corner to the east, Jiang Pingce suddenly stopped and turned to look at the wall next to him.

Yue Xingwen followed his gaze and saw that there was a layer of cement on the wall. It should have been painted not long ago, and it had not completely dried. It is normal for this kind of cement to appear on the construction site. Climbing up, I also found that many walls were painted with cement.

However, Jiang Pingce walked quickly towards the wall.

Yue Xingwen immediately followed him: "What's wrong, is there a problem here?"

Jiang Pingce whispered: "Here, there was originally a hole in the wall."

He walked to the wall, bent his fingers and tapped lightly, but did not hear the hollow echo.

Jiang Pingce closed his eyes and carefully recalled for a moment, and said, "I remember correctly, at the east corner of the sixth floor, this room and the room next to it were originally interconnected. Between the two rooms, there was a hole in the wall that people could pass through. , I found Zhao Liang in the building, and he ran through the hole in the wall."

Zhang Xiaonian said: "Between different areas of the construction site, in order to facilitate the workers to walk back and forth, there will indeed be some holes in the wall for people to pass through. After the internal construction is completed, these holes will be sealed."

Yue Xingwen nodded and said: "I believe that Pingce's memory will not be wrong. Since there was a hole here, but now it's gone, and there are traces of cement repair on the wall, there must be something wrong with this wall."

Liu Zhaoqing realized what the two of them meant, and suddenly his scalp became numb: "Could it be that the corpse is hidden in the wall?!"

Jiang Pingce said coldly, "Dig it and take a look."

Zhang Xiaonian summoned a reduced version of the excavator, looked at the wall in front of him worriedly, and said, "Since this wall has a passageway, it should not be a load-bearing wall. If I dig like this, the building will not collapse, right?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Don't worry about digging. I remember very clearly that there is indeed a big hole in this wall."

Zhang Xiaonian nodded, pointed the excavator at the position sealed by the cement, and gently dug a crack from the surrounding area. As the excavator worked quickly, the sealed wall gradually shattered in front of everyone——

The four of Yue Xingwen froze in place at the same time.

I saw Boss Jiang Dexin in a suit, his wide eyes almost falling out of his sockets, his hands and feet were tightly bound by ropes, and the whole person was enclosed in the cement of the wall in a posture of "standing at attention".

There were no bloodstains or scars on his body.

He was sealed alive in a concrete wall and suffocated to death!
