today's island

Another New Year's Eve, this year Lu Yuanzhe did not take a walk in Wanghai Square, but came to the inside of the TV Tower, took the sightseeing elevator all the way up, and watched the busy traffic in the island city gradually shrinking under his feet.

Originally, he wanted Cheng Mo to rest at home, but Cheng Mo wanted to come. In order to prevent everyone from seeing the injuries on his face, he lied about having a cold and wore a mask and hat to cover himself tightly.

Seeing Cheng Mo's low-key pressing on the brim of his hat, his straight figure, slender waist and long legs attracting attention, Lu Yuanzhe couldn't help but tease: "Someone will secretly take pictures of you like this. I thought it was some celebrity who came to watch the fun."

"That's also shooting you, I should be the assistant." Cheng Mo didn't believe him, and lit his backpack, "The assistant has to carry a lot of things."

"Then my assistant is a bit handsome, and I have a pair of big watery eyes that cover half of my face." He glanced at Cheng Mo, "And the long eyelashes that can slide down the slide."

"You have it too." Cheng Mo replied sheepishly.

"I didn't, don't slander me." He smiled and denied.

There were indeed people peeking at them, some with mysterious smiles, and I don't know what kind of gossip stories weaved in their minds.Fortunately, no one rushed up to ask for WeChat today, otherwise Lu Yuanzhe would have to put on the entire mask for himself, lest Director Tang say that his plainclothes patrol looks like a catwalk.

All the way to the [-]th floor, although they were not on the observation deck, they both felt a little moved when they overlooked the night of the island city.

Three months later, the scene of the confrontation with Liu Wennuo upstairs is still vivid in my mind, and it has been more or less processed by the human brain, adding a lot of artistic color.

Those declarative and recording things faded from his mind, leaving only Liu Wennuo's proficiency in calculation and his wildness when he played the young master very clearly.

"What are you looking for here, what does the Daocheng TV Tower have to do with you?"

"Then it's up to you to find it. Anyway, I didn't find it. I think you should be interested. Do you dare? Dare to find it?"

They have already figured out the general timeline of various major events back then, and also figured out the real identity of the young master, and basically understood why Liu Wennuo asked Cheng Mo if he dared to pursue it, but they still didn't know what Liu Wennuo was doing for him. What is the young master looking for?

"What do you think it could be?" Lu Yuanzhe murmured, he and Cheng Mo had circled around these floors quite a bit, but couldn't see the problem at all, "This is a multi-storey building open to everyone to visit, not open There are also people working on those floors, so what can they hide?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, thought for a while, and guessed casually: "Isn't there gold buried in the walls?"

"Then you might as well guess that there are bitcoins buried in it... Oh, there were no bitcoins back then." Lu Yuanzhe recalled, thinking about it, and frowned, "I actually have a very unlucky guess."

"Tell me." Cheng Mo looked at him.

"I wondered at the time, why Liu Wennuo blasted relatively thick walls, pillars, or corners of the floor?" Lu Yuanzhe stood still, pointing to one of the repaired corners.

Although no traces can be seen, he and Cheng Mo have studied the repair drawings many times and have been to the scene, so they remember it clearly.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "What he is looking for...isn't it a corpse?"

"Huh?" Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, and frowned, rarely following his train of thought, "Qi Qiuyu's?"

"Yeah." He swallowed, and really didn't want to prove this conjecture, "I really don't want to make such a guess, it's just buried in the foundation, these places are too curious, right? But what else could it be? Banquet There is no shortage of money, no lack of criminal ideas, it is better to find your father first for revenge, I can only think of looking for Qi Qiuyu...'s corpse."

Cheng Mo looked at the ceiling, his deeply furrowed brows never loosened.

The two of them were chatting when two workers in blue uniforms carrying toolboxes walked up to them, which immediately attracted their attention.

Although they guessed that the young master would not be able to organize another bombing, they were still very concerned about the workers who came in and out of this kind of festival suddenly, and immediately went up to ask questions.

"Hi, excuse me. Daocheng Public Security Bureau, Lu Yuanzhe." With the crowd behind his back, Lu Yuanzhe showed his police ID.

The two stopped immediately: "Police...what's the matter?"

"Are you here for... maintenance?" Lu Yuanzhe looked at the undried water stains on their work clothes, it should be ready to go back after work.

"Yes." One of them replied, "Didn't a construction team repair the TV tower in the past two months, but it was not the original team, so it really couldn't do fine work. There were problems in many places, and there was a water leak today. We Come fix it."

"Oh~ so." Lu Yuanzhe nodded, and glanced at the real estate agent's logo on their work clothes, "You Anguang Real Estate still care about this?"

Although Anguang Real Estate is an established local real estate developer in Daocheng, it has nothing to do with this TV tower. Instead, it is a real estate developer in Lu Yuanzhe Community.

"It doesn't matter now, but we used to belong to Haisheng Construction Company, and we personally participated in the construction of this building." The older man finally spoke with a proud face, "I think the design of this building is good. Yes, it’s an honor to be a part of it.”

"Yeah..." Lu Yuanzhe sighed, "Don't bother you to go back for the New Year's Eve, you have worked hard."

"It's even harder for the police comrades." They both nodded, and left with the toolbox, leaving Lu Yuanzhe and Cheng Mo watching their backs go away, and it took a long time to look at each other.

"Hiss... Ayu seems to have said this." Lu Yuanzhe scratched his head and recalled, and some clues suddenly came together in his mind.

"En." Cheng Mo responded, "At that time, we checked Brother Yu's father and there was no problem, and we didn't ask any doubts among Gong Youwei's colleagues, so we didn't care."

"The young master and Liu Wennuo are not really looking for corpses...they have been looking for a long time." Lu Yuanzhe muttered, looking around at the groups of tourists wandering in the TV tower, "Isn't it ridiculous?"

Thinking of Gong Youwei's almost tortured scars, they were all a little uneasy.The young master was so cruel that time, was it because he was looking for his mother?He tried his best to design the game, let the special case team pay more attention to the hostages, and ignored the importance of Gong Youwei himself. Don't you want the police to find out what he is looking for?

Near ten o'clock, the security guards of the TV tower began to clear the scene, and they could also prepare to get off work, but as the crowd became thinner, it seemed that there was no relaxation at all, only the gradually rising gloom,

Every inch of this place has been stepped on by someone. Can a person just fit into a wall that is only a few tens of centimeters thick?

·

I specially made an appointment with the leaders of Anguang Real Estate. As soon as the normal working day resumed, Lu Yuanzhe and Ding Chenyu immediately went to see their construction team.

Haisheng Construction Company no longer exists, and many of the temporary workers at that time even returned to their hometowns, and those who could be contacted were summoned back by their captains.

This is not due to the face of the special case team. The police say it is scary, but in fact ordinary people think it is better to have less contact, and seldom fully cooperate.

However, the Ding family still cooperates with Anguang Real Estate, and to sell their family's face, the captain at least tried his best to cooperate on the surface.

Driving the broken car of the task force, Ding Chenyu sighed with nostalgia: "It's been a long time since I felt so useful."

"That's because you didn't work hard enough. If you had used your connections to gather people together earlier, maybe we could have solved the case faster." Lu Yuanzhe complained.

"Isn't this what you asked me to avoid suspicion." Ding Chenyu glanced at him, and parked the car at the gate of Anguang Real Estate, "Don't have too much hope, I don't think it's as scary as you think, how can it be in the ceiling. "

When they entered the door, they were greeted and brought into the large meeting room. These old members of the construction team hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they all chatted around the room, and they stood up only when they came.

"What and what are you going to ask, Comrade Police?" Captain Fang, the leader, asked.

Ding Chenyu looked at Lu Yuanzhe, Lu Yuanzhe glanced at everyone, thought for a while and answered: "Just ask here, there is nothing shameful, some of them have seen me last time."

He pulled up a chair and sat down, opened the recording pen in his pocket, and started casually: "It's like this, didn't something happen to the TV tower a while ago, and it has been resolved, but we seem to find it a bit strange, listen Said that you participated in the construction of the TV tower back then, didn’t you?”

"Yes." Captain Fang replied for everyone, and everyone nodded and said yes, "Because the unit in charge at the time felt that there were not enough manpower and the construction period was relatively short, so they temporarily expanded the size of the construction team and dragged us in."

"You are the main force, so you don't need to be so modest." Ding Chenyu interjected.

Captain Fang could only smile and nodded: "That's right, anyway, we were not the only ones at that time, we were also part-time workers hired by the government."

"How is running in?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"It's pretty good. To be honest, the state-owned enterprise still has scheduling. We think it's an honor to be able to participate." Captain Fang replied for everyone, "There are not many such tall buildings in the country, right?"

"Have you modified the design temporarily?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"This..." Captain Fang hesitated a little.

"There is a little modification, the actual situation may not be so ideal, or there is a slight deviation and the detailed design has been changed, but the design drawing is basically restored." An old worker replied, "Although the building is tall, it is not a strange building. , it is still very easy to complete the scheduled plan.”

"Then did you find any doubts at that time?" Lu Yuanzhe continued to ask, "For example, was there any theft, workers who resigned suddenly, suspicious persons, or an extra cement slab somewhere."

"This..." Captain Fang frowned and muttered, "No."

Lu Yuanzhe smiled, ignored the captain, and looked around at the workers of the construction team: "Aren't you surprised when I ask this question? Has anyone asked?"

When he said this, some construction workers were surprised. They quickly exchanged a hesitant look with the people around them, and lowered their heads again.

"Has anyone asked? Does Captain Fang know?" Lu Yuanzhe looked at Captain Fang pretending to be curious, and Captain Fang also had complicated emotions on his face.

After ten seconds of silence, Captain Fang finally said hesitantly, "Yes...someone asked."

"What did you ask?" Lu Yuanzhe knew that it would not be luck to find Gong Youwei over there, he must have come to inquire about it.

"Same as you, I also asked if there were any strange things... supernatural events or something..." Captain Fang hesitated at first, but then he broke the jar and told the whole thing, "Yes In this way, a reporter came and said that he would re-report the story under construction at the time with the TV Tower in Daocheng as the center, and asked many things, including this anecdote.”

"You also think it's suspicious, don't you? Why didn't you say that we came here for Gong Youwei last time?" Lu Yuanzhe looked at him helplessly.

"Gong Youwei disappeared within a few days after asking the question. Everyone thought it was his ghost story telling, and no one wanted to get into this bad luck." Captain Fang paused at this point, apparently not finishing his sentence.

"I also took someone's interview fee. They said it was a news secret, so don't talk about it, right?" Ding Chenyu answered.

No one spoke, it was the default.

"What ghost story?" Lu Yuanzhe continued to ask.

"Just..." Captain Fang started, and gave up a look at the old team members sitting in the corner, "Lao Meng, tell me, you have listened to it the most times."

"It can't be considered a ghost story..." Lao Meng retorted subconsciously, paused, and found that Lu Yuanzhe was waiting, and finally stated the matter, "It's like this, Xiao Gong said more than ten years ago that New Year's Day Before and after, I saw a ghost passing by the construction site of the TV tower, it was a female ghost."

There was a two-day holiday before New Year's Day, and the construction site had nothing to steal, and no one was on duty in the building.Gong Youwei went back first because he drank too much and felt uncomfortable, and then passed by the construction site, insisting that he saw a woman from a distance.Everyone said that he was drunk and wanted a woman, and that was it.

But two days later, he said that someone had stolen some of the cement, that someone had touched the concrete on one floor, and that it might be a homicide case, which shocked everyone.

"Later we really asked, what was the matter, but we had a vacation, there were temporary workers who were due, and there were kids playing around on the construction site, but we didn't get an answer." Lao Meng said When I got here, I was also a little scared, "He felt that there was something wrong, and he had been suspicious for a long time, but if there was a murder case, he wouldn't have to go there."

"This incident has been going on for more than ten years, and nothing has happened for more than ten years. He said he sold it as material to reporters. I really didn't expect there to be problems." Captain Fang sighed, "Does this matter have anything to do with his death? relation?"

"Maybe." Lu Yuanzhe didn't answer clearly, "What does the reporter look like? Which media?"

"Reporter..." Captain Fang struggled to recall, "The media didn't know, a little girl, she said she was interviewing in secret, she didn't record or take pictures, and wrote about urban anecdotes."

woman?Lu Yuanzhe and Ding Chenyu looked at each other, and they didn't know whether they should think about women's clothing, the practice of their task force, or whether it was really not the young master who came.

"Is that so?" Ding Chenyu showed him the women involved in the case in the security team, and he shook his head.

"A pretty girl, with a recorder, dressed as a reporter, with serious makeup." Captain Fang described, and everyone nodded.

Who is this?
