Chapter 233 Traitors and Companions(1/2)
A construction site looks like a tomb, and there are indeed all kinds of "evil ghosts" inside.
It took Gu Lan half a day to gain the "trust" of these people. After she left the bathroom, she did not go directly to the center of the construction site, but went back to borrow a military coat.
Seeing that Gu Lan "came back" after going to the toilet, the middle-aged man grinned, showing his teeth that were yellowed by smoke, "If you want to go have some more food, just go and have some. It's late and the canteen is closed."
"Go and come back quickly, we have to work overtime tonight."
When Gu Lan heard this, she nodded, "Yeah, okay!"
After saying that, Gu Lan turned around and greeted Yan Xiao, who was striding over to find her, raising his hand in his military coat and saying, "Let's go eat."
Yan Xiao followed Gu Lan and left without saying a word.
After the two people left, the workers in the prefabricated room who were lighting electric heaters and wearing military coats all looked in the direction of Gu Lan. In the warm yellow room, the old faces of each one showed signs of vicissitudes of life.
A strange and eerie look.
The youngest man among them also looked to be in his thirties or almost forty. He looked down at the cards in his hand, then raised his head to look at the middle-aged man who asked Gu Lan to eat.
"Uncle Li, what you said above is that we can't let them leave our sight. We can't let anything happen at the construction site, otherwise everyone will be ruined! They went to the toilet just now, and Yongchao followed them."
"Isn't it bad if you don't follow them?"
The others were also staring at Uncle Li closely, with a deep and suppressed resentment in their eyes, as if they wanted to see Gu Lan and Yan Xiao die.
Uncle Li held the cards in his hand like a good old man and said with a smile.
"Don't be so nervous. There are fewer such capable young people now. After all, we are old and are retiring here. It would be better if we could work less. After all, this place is harmful to the body. We still have to find ways to maintain our health."
"
Hearing this, the youngest man among them, who was the first to speak, frowned. His droopy eyelids had deep ravines on his face, but his voice was still very young, sounding like he was twenty years old.
"Uncle Li, it's still too risky! What if-"
Uncle Li said with a smile, "There is no such thing as a contingency. If anything happens, I will take care of it. Have you all forgotten how you joined the construction site and became one of our happy members?"
After Uncle Li said this, the temperature in the whole room seemed to have dropped a few points.
No one looked at Uncle Li's face, but almost everyone's hands holding the playing cards were shaking, and they seemed unable to restrain themselves from throwing the cards on Uncle Li.
But none of them dared to do this.
No one dares to disobey Uncle Li's opinion, because once something is done, there is no turning back.
Uncle Li is also used to their expressions, so what if they are angry?
The waste at the bottom can only be used.
However, it is not good to question him.
Uncle Li thought about it, threw out a four of diamonds, and then said with a smile to the young man who just questioned him.
"You are only in your early twenties, but you are already so old. Your wife has run away with someone a long time ago, right? It is better to give me an advantage than others. You get her drunk, and I will help you punish her."
The face of the man who looked to be in his thirties or forties but was actually in his early twenties suddenly changed. The blood vessels in his arms bulged. He picked up the bricks on the ground and was about to cover Uncle Li's head!
"I ***! You ***!"
The other workers did not stop him, and even Uncle Li was not afraid. Uncle Li pointed at his head, still smiling like a good man and lovingly.
"Hit me. You can beat me. You don't know where the last person who caused trouble at the construction site went, right? You buried it yourself. Anyway, if I want to play with your wife, I can play with you whether you live or die."
"The difference is whether you are alive or... you know."
The man who wanted to hit Uncle Li let out a scream, picked up a brick and hit his head hard. He made a helpless whimpering sound like a small animal, and blood flowed from his head.
His tears mixed with blood flowed down.
Everyone in the room watched quietly for a while. Another worker threw out a playing card and said, "It's so cold. Let's play cards. By the way, can any of you get some drinks?"
The house became lively again.
The man with his head bleeding was huddled in the corner of the house. He regretted it so much. He wanted to call his wife...
But their phones were all monitored, and he couldn't make any calls.
Even after he came in, he couldn't get out.
This place, once you enter, is hell, hell...
Gu Lan and Yan Xiao walked to the cafeteria. There was a villa in the middle of the construction site between the cafeteria and the construction site. Yan Xiao frowned and took two steps, "The further you go inside, the weirder it gets."
“I never thought there could be a place like this here.”
Yan Xiao also thought this place was "another world" at first, but as expected, as long as it is a world, there is a difference between light and darkness.
Gu Lan whispered, "We don't have much time. We have to find evidence before we fall asleep. Otherwise, we won't be able to get out, and we may never get out again."
"Fortunately, the mobile phone can still be used. This poor place is really scary. A signal tower was built outside to block the signal inside the construction site, so these workers played cards at night without using their mobile phones."
"Fortunately, we have foreign aid——"
When Gu Lan just came in, Yunzhe discovered that there was a problem with the mobile phone signal.
Yunzhe himself is an "artificial" computer. In terms of "hacking technology", Yunzhe's technology is at least a hundred years ahead of this era, and anti-hacking is a piece of cake.
It's a pity that some technologies can be copied, but most biotechnology cannot be copied and used here at all.
Gu Lan took out her mobile phone. Her mobile phone signal was full. As soon as she opened it, she saw messages flooding the screen. The top one was from Yunzhe.
"Master, according to analysis, the foreman and Xiao Wang you described have false identities. We have called the police on this matter."
"Now No. 001 and Hua Yin are pretending to be ghosts to scare them. The results are expected to be available within an hour."
Gu Lan didn't expect that even No. 001 and Hua Yin would need an hour. They were quite troublesome.
Yunzhe seemed to be able to analyze what Gu Lan was thinking, and he continued to send the message.
"The two people made appointments with the same technician one after another. Hua Yin didn't want to go in that place. No. 001 was almost dragged away by the women after sneaking in. He is now taking a shower in the bathroom."
"Hua Yin didn't even want to go in after seeing what happened to No. 001."
"Xu Huanwen is going to the outskirts of the construction site to support the master. This place is too eerie, and there are some supernatural phenomena that are not likely to occur in this world."
"According to the owner's speculation, the victim's bones were crushed by a cement mixer and then put into cement and built into the cement wall. A 100-square-meter brick-concrete house requires about 25 tons of cement."
"The area here is too large and there is too much cement, so it is difficult to distinguish. The owner still needs to collect evidence at close range to find out."
A lot of cement has been buried in the ground. Unless there is conclusive evidence, the police cannot interfere with the other party's construction based on speculation. In fact, what Gu Lan is looking for this time is not the bones of "An Momo's former deskmate" at all.
The bones are probably buried deep underground.
What she is looking for is fresh cement and fresh corpses. It is said that someone here had an accident not long ago and his family took the money to immigrate with his family.
According to the investigation, Yunzhe guessed that the man should be dead and his body was still here.
In terms of time, if that person is buried in cement "as usual", then the cement has just dried.
Yan Xiao saw the news from Gu Lan and understood, "You didn't want to go to the center of the construction site in the first place, right? They all thought we were going to the center of the construction site to check for news."
A woman's heart is a needle in the sea.
Gu Lan's mind went around in circles several times...
Gu Lan nodded, "Well, who knows if anyone will follow us when we come out of the police station. Yunzhe can't come in, and all the high-tech equipment can't be transported. We just need to find the evidence."
There are very few new places in this construction site, and the construction site has been slowing down. If you say it is unfinished, he is still working on it. If you say he is doing it, it will be unfinished no matter how hard he works.
Time was limited, and Gu Lan didn't want Yan Xiao to follow her. Yan Xiao's height was too conspicuous, so she deliberately borrowed a military coat to make herself less different.
Seeing this, Yan Xiao thought of another way.
Yan Xiao's method reminded Gu Lan of Yan Xiao's "idea" of putting clothes on her and tying her to his waist when she came over.
This time, Yan Xiao’s method is——
He was wearing a loose military coat, and Gu Lan was standing on his chest. The two of them were squeezed into a military coat. Gu Lan felt that wearing them like this was really not down to earth at all, it was very down to earth.
"Yan Xiao, what do you think of us... walking over in the middle of the night, and looking at it from a distance, I thought a person with four legs looked like a monster."
Yan Xiao zipped up his military coat very calmly. He didn't take it seriously and only cared about feeling Gu Lan's body temperature.
Yan Xiao said, "This place is already haunted. People here are probably immune to ghosts. If you see them, you will see them. It's not anything serious."
Gu Lan thought about it, and it made sense.
"Yan Xiao, pull your zipper down a little. Four legs are nothing, there are still two heads, hahahaha! This is so exciting to think about, let's go!"
The "four-legged monster" wearing a military coat began to "wander" around the construction site, which became increasingly colder as time went by.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the construction site is getting colder and colder.
This kind of cold is not physical cold, but magical cold. In fact, a military coat can't stop anything at all.
However, Gu Lan's magic resistance was very high. The more sinister things were, the more interesting she found them. She and Yan Xiao wandered around various gloomy buildings in the middle of the night.
There was no one doing construction work upstairs in this place in the middle of the night.
The 20th floor has not yet been built, there is no elevator, and even the stairs have not been built. Gu Lan feels that this building is really the underworld. Fortunately, no one buys it, otherwise she will lose her money and buy an unfinished building. She will really cry to death.
The construction workers rely on the construction elevators and winches to go upstairs. In such a gloomy place, no serious person would run into a house that is still under construction in the middle of the night.
Strictly speaking, in this place, even a dead person cannot be seen outside.
