today's island

After sorting out the stories around New Year's Day 13 years ago in detail, Lu Yuanzhe roughly figured out the timeline——

The island city at that time was far less developed than it is now. Although everyone was very happy when this landmark building was built, the process was far from simple as ordinary citizens imagined.

Funding, construction period, materials, scheduling, these are more or less contradictory, and the biggest contradiction even came to Cheng Song, who opposed the completion of the TV tower.

Around New Year's Day, everyone was given two days off on the surface. In fact, the city government held a one-and-a-half-day meeting to discuss whether to build a building so early that it could be exciting or grandstanding.

Of course, the building was eventually completed.

Speaking of the two days of the holiday, the neighborhood was still desolate back then, with no bustling pedestrian streets and tall office buildings. On the day before New Year’s Day, in order to prevent the workers from being affected by the many problems above, the leaders invited the workers who hadn’t been home for the holiday to eat meal.

Most of the people had dinner in nearby restaurants. Gong Youwei felt uncomfortable after drinking too much and couldn't make it to the restroom, so he walked a few extra steps back to the worker's dormitory building.

When he came back, he said that he saw a female ghost passing by the construction site.Everyone just thought he drank too much and didn't care.

They have been working for so long, and although there are many small things, the workers are still safe and sound. They all say that this is a treasured place of geomantic omen in the island city, and the wages are high. No one wants to listen to his nonsense.

He was indeed in a daze after drinking a few words for everyone, and then he became confused and didn't say any more.

It was freezing cold, and if nothing happened, no one wanted to go to the building to inspect it, so they took two days off like this.

However, on the first day after returning to work, Gong Youwei made a fuss again. He said that there was a problem with the concrete on the first floor, and someone had moved it. Maybe there was a murder case.

There are such ghost stories, suspense jokes, and there may also be real cases where people are involved in concrete, cement, or buried in foundations.But they are super tall buildings, who would have nothing to do and come here to play performance art and kill people.

Firstly, there was no news of anyone missing recently, and secondly, everyone didn't want to look for trouble, so the matter passed like this.Gong Youwei gradually felt that he was thinking too much. He hadn't mentioned it for many years, and everyone had almost forgotten it. It wasn't until last year that the reporter who pretended to be a reporter found it out.

Lu Yuanzhe specifically called Gong Youwei's family members about this matter, but unfortunately they didn't know what a female ghost was. It seemed that he didn't want to tell his wife and children about such things.

The rest is the discussion about which floor he was talking about. The workers didn’t come to a conclusion. They only said that the first 50 floors were completed at that time, and about a quarter of the new phase of work was done. Be sure to recall , it is about 60 floors, which coincides with the floor of the explosion.

In addition, everyone is not sure where it is.At that time, Gong Youwei took them to look at it, and it seemed that the floor had indeed been painted, and they were not sure which was more suspicious, the ground, the wall or the pillars.

Everyone was afraid that they would die if they mentioned it, so no one said it last time.Now that the banquet is over, and the Public Security Bureau has come to conduct a supplementary investigation, everyone speaks out.

"This can also be regarded as an explosive breakthrough." Coming out of Anguang Real Estate, Lu Yuanzhe sighed and looked at Ding Chenyu, "Do you think this is suspicious or do you really have clues?"

"I only know that ten years have passed, and you asked me to identify it. I can't identify which layer has a corpse in it. Don't count on me." Ding Chenyu smiled.

"You don't look very scared. If you really dig up a corpse, you will always pick up guys in the TV tower, don't you panic?" Lu Yuanzhe joked.

"Don't be nervous. I'm one of the few businessmen who is not superstitious. In addition, if the sky falls, I will squat down, and you can stand up if you are shorter." Ding Chenyu joked in turn, "If it doesn't work, I quit my job and run away. Everyone in the nightclub goodbye."

"It's not kind." Lu Yuanzhe knew he was joking, so he poked him with his arm.

Before leaving, Lu Yuanzhe asked Master Meng to re-circle the map of the TV tower for them, circled the area where the dead body might still be hidden after being bombed by the feast, and then went back to the task force to bring Cheng Mo with him and report to Bureau Tang .

"Aren't you going?" He also asked Ding Chenyu.

"I don't want to be scolded, I wish you good luck." Ding Chenyu had already washed his hands, and started to learn how to peel shrimp with a scalpel with Ling Xi, "You are going to mention the matter to Bureau Tang like you are killing him. "

"...I just went to ask, but I didn't force Director Tang to agree." Even if no one went to Lu Yuanzhe, he would go, and it would be his life to make him give up pursuing this old case.

A few minutes later, Tang Bureau broke out in the office with a voice ten times higher than usual, pointing at Lu Yuanzhe and shouting: "Say it again?!"

"It's a long story, so we won't repeat it again." Lu Yuanzhe almost thought that his ears were ringing, and he took a step back to avoid Bureau Tang's saliva spraying on himself.

"I know what you're wondering about. Yes, the TV tower was not built smoothly. At that time, Mayor Cheng was being labeled as arbitrary, and he wanted to use the feng shui of this building to do great things; there were indeed many things at the time, and the staff The flow is very complicated; Mayor Cheng is indeed a student of architecture, and even participated in a part of the design of this building. But, this is completely inconsistent with what you said." Tang Wen took a deep breath and explained patiently road.

He knew what the task force was thinking. Although Mayor Cheng submitted a detailed report on the anti-undercover plan back then, and there was a lot of supporting evidence in it, it was indeed one-sided.It can only show that there is no lie, but it does not mean that there is no concealment.Qi Qiuyu, an ordinary citizen with no relatives and friends, died when he died, and he would not be noticed if no one mentioned it.

Regarding Cheng Song's arbitrariness in building a building, it was not easy for Lu Yuanzhe and his group of young policemen to find out clearly. Hearing Bureau Tang's explanation, it became even more suspicious.

"I have reported to you before. Many doubts prove that Mayor Cheng is related to what happened that night. Not only we are investigating, but Yan is also investigating. But I don't suspect that he committed the crime. I just suspect that he knew about it. I need some evidence to further investigate. Go ask him." Lu Yuanzhe also slowed down his speech, and added more sincerely, "The young master hasn't been caught yet, if we don't take the initiative to touch the incident 13 years ago, we will have to bear the safety of the TV tower for a day. "

"Then if the young master really insists that the government, or even Mayor Cheng himself, killed his mother, why didn't he settle the score with him and fight riddles with your special case team for a year?" Tang Wen asked, seeing that Cheng Mo hadn't spoken, His eyes turned to Cheng Mo, "Are you here to help him too? Do you doubt your father too?"

"I don't doubt my dad. I think with his character, he won't engage in these useless rituals and insist on killing people in the TV tower." Cheng Mo replied calmly, "Besides, he is not very popular. Alright, how many rounds have everyone investigated, if he was involved in planning a banquet-related case, he would have been defeated by his political opponents long ago."

After confirming that he was on his side, Tang Wen felt more at ease, and looked at Lu Yuanzhe again: "Mayor Cheng is also your future..." At this point he got stuck, and he didn't know whether it was his father-in-law or father in law.

This is too messy, he rolled his eyes in his heart, and then continued: "No matter what is in your future, it's fine if you suspect him again and again that his motives were impure, but now you still suspect him of the boss who participated in the murder banquet, really It's a bit too much. He's still the mayor of the island city, you don't have any proof, can't you keep provoking him?"

"It's my future, nothing will prevent me from investigating the case." Lu Yuanzhe shrugged, paused, and looked at Tang Wen expectantly, "Then let's ignore the matter of Mayor Cheng, just... there are only three days left. There are five suspicious points, can we blow them up and have a look?"

"My wish is that before I retire, there will be no trouble in the TV tower." Tang Wen glared at him, "Why don't you wait for me to retire, or blow me up and let me retire."

"Don't dare." Lu Yuanzhe smiled apologetically, "The TV tower has been repaired several times, not one more time. Let's just say it's a structural renovation. It will be finished in a few days after clearing the site."

"Nonsense! Have you ever fooled yourself and the workers leading the news media?!" Tang Wensheng pointed at him and warned, afraid that he would make claims, "I told you in advance, this time you are going, just It’s not acting without authorization, it’s breaking the law.”

"So I didn't go." Lu Yuanzhe smiled.

"Stop thinking about it." Tang Wen thought for a while, and signaled Cheng Mo to go out first, "Xiao Cheng, go and do your work first, and I'll have a chat with him alone."

"Then don't chat." Cheng Mo finally had a smile on his face, and took a peek at Tang Wen, "I came because Captain Lu said I was here, and Director Tang can scold me a little less harshly."

"Lu Yuanzhe!" If Tang Wen hadn't really planned to maintain a little demeanor in front of Cheng Mo, he would be yelling now, "Be careful with me, or you can show me that someone is free and has nothing to do to bury people in the building." evidence; or, you become the chief."

"... That's what I'm asking, in case you think it's possible to explode it." Lu Yuanzhe took half a step back, and he also knew that this matter would most likely not be possible, "But I will try to find evidence."

"Get out." Tang Wen finally couldn't hold back and threw them out together.

Lu Yuanzhe quickly opened the office door and escaped. Cheng Mo followed behind him and gently closed the door for Tang Wen.

After retreating to the corridor, Lu Yuanzhe poked Cheng Mo with his elbow: "You are betraying your boyfriend."

"I'm helping you quickly end the topic, and Bureau Tang can't possibly agree." Cheng Mo didn't think so, and glanced at him triumphantly, "It's my dad you suspect."

"You don't doubt your father, so you stopped confronting him a few days ago." Lu Yuanzhe reminded.

"I suspect that he still has some inside information, but it doesn't mean that I suspect that he will kill people at the TV tower construction site. It's too high-profile, and a fool would do that." Cheng Mo retorted seriously, "I was afraid that he was one of the masterminds of the banquet before. , but I don't doubt it anymore, I think he respected our profession, if he didn't confess to us, he didn't lie."

Although he felt that he had feelings for his father to some extent, Lu Yuanzhe really had no way to refute it. He also believed that it was untenable to kill people in the TV tower, and there was still a lack of motivation in the middle.

The two of them returned to the task force, and as soon as they entered the door, the aroma of lobsters came over their faces. Seeing that they were still alive, the others teased that Ju Tang was so polite today.

"Come and eat lobster, it's not easy to transport by air, so cherish it." Ding Chenyu greeted.

"You guys eat first, I'll go and chat with my friend who studies architecture." Lu Yuanzhe pushed Cheng Mo and wanted to go out again.

"Shall I go with you?" Cheng Mo turned his head and asked.

"No, this friend doesn't like to see my boyfriend." Lu Yuanzhe refused, and then glanced at everyone, "Save some for me."

"There are too many." Ding Chenyu responded, "Just don't smell the next-door team Sun and come over to join in the fun."

"His dignity doesn't allow it." Lu Yuanzhe joked, and walked away from the task force.

After dialing the phone that made 1 people unhappy, he heard Cheng Song's impatient voice: "My son always makes an appointment when he sees me, what's the matter with you?"

"A big event, a secret big event in the TV tower in Daocheng." Lu Yuanzhe replied, "It only takes you 10 minutes, so don't make an appointment."
