Escape From the Library

【Construction Site Mystery 11】

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

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

Yue Xingwen said: "He does have this kind of condition, right?"

Zhao Liangliang nodded and said: "He has often had diarrhea recently. I asked him what happened. He said that his stomach is not good and he is not used to the food at the construction site. It will be fine after a few days to get used to it."

Vomiting, diarrhea, these gastrointestinal symptoms are 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 and learn crafts by the way. I just came here by car." Said At this point, Zhao Liang lowered his head sadly: "It's all because I'm ignorant, and I didn't take good care of him before. I used all the money he sent me to play games... Uncle is gone, and I don't know what to do in the future .”

Liu Zhaoqing patted the young man 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 the money and learn some skills."

Zhao Liang said softly: "I know, I won't spend this money carelessly."

Turning around and on the way back, Liu Zhaoqing asked in a low voice: "Xing Wen, do you think this Zhao Liang doesn't seem to know?"

Yue Xingwen carefully recalled Zhao Liang's behavior after the incident. He broke down and cried when he saw his uncle's tragic death, his innocent eyes when he was taken away by the police, and his disappointed expression when he mentioned his uncle.Yue Xingwen sighed and said, "Maybe, in order to protect this nephew, Zhao Dayong didn't tell him the plan."

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

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

Zhao Anming said mysteriously: "I found the test sheet in Dayong's drawer, but I didn't quite understand it. Anyway, there were several abnormal enzyme data. He secretly tore up the test sheet and threw it away."

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

Did he pretend to be innocent on purpose, or was he really ignorant?

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

"No, I chatted with Zhao Qiang and the others yesterday. Ah Qiang said that he would hold a wedding with Xuemei when he returned home during the New Year, and he asked me to help welcome her. I agreed." Zhao Anming scratched his head with a smile, "I thought Xuemei It's a couple with Dayong, and Dayong often sends her things, but I didn't expect that she and Ah Qiang are just a couple..."

Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen, Yue Xingwen exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Anming, and then left the dormitory.

Zhao Anming and the deceased Zhao Dayong were roommates, and it was convenient to get close to each other. He immediately learned that the other party had cancer, and persuaded him to commit suicide as a bait to lure Mr. Jiang.However, when President Jiang disappeared yesterday, Zhao Anming hadn't left the construction site?

How can you kill Mr. Jiang if you haven't left the construction site?

Yue Xingwen said: "Yesterday afternoon, he was chatting with people at the construction site. Could it be that he is really just a gossip-loving Zhaojia Village insider? Mr. Jiang's disappearance has nothing to do with him?"

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

Yue Xingwen wrote a line on the channel of the research group, asking everyone to visit the workers separately and ask who had 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, and the content of the chat was about returning home and getting married during the Chinese New Year.At that time, there were still a lot of people chatting together. Several female workers, as someone who had been there, told Xuemei about the things that needed to be prepared for the wedding.

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

Yue Xingwen was puzzled: "Boss Jiang leaves in a car, we all saw it with our own eyes, right? If you want to kill Boss Jiang, you have to leave the construction site... Unless, Boss Jiang leaves and comes back?"

Jiang Pingce said: "According to the assistant, Jiang Dexin suddenly said that he had a private matter to deal with halfway in the car, and got out of the car alone. No one knows where he went after getting out of the car. Maybe he returned to the construction site, or even took the underground passage? "

Yue Xingwen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. He must have received information from the murderer threatening him, such as the truth about Qingshuiwan. President Jiang is guilty of a crime, so of course he wants to interview the murderer. He thought the other party was just extorting him a sum of money , didn’t think that the other party would directly kill him?”

Xu Yishen raised a question: "If the murderer directly invited him to the construction site and let him go through the underground passage, would Mr. Jiang, a shrewd businessman, foolishly go to the underground garage alone to negotiate with others? Isn't he afraid of danger?"

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, and said: "There are two possibilities. First, the murderer used some reason to threaten Jiang Dexin to come near the construction site, then went out through the underground passage, knocked him out while Mr. Jiang was not paying attention, and dragged him away Return 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 Mr. Jiang outside and hid the body."

Zhang Xiaonian said: "Our scope of activities is limited to this construction site, and we are not allowed to go out. If the murderer kills people outside and hides the corpse, we have no way to investigate it? Therefore, I am more inclined to hide Mr. Jiang's body." On the construction site!"

Everyone: "..."

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

Yue Xingwen said: "Let's go, search the underground garage."

Everyone acted immediately, following the simulated path that Ke Shaobin had built long ago, descending from the manhole cover on the side of the pedestrian street, and launched a blanket search for 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 an alcohol lamp to illuminate. Everyone opened Ke Shaobin's laptop map, and started from the lower left corner, carefully searched the entire two floors of the underground garage. No bloodstains were found, and there was no smell of putrid corpses.

Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled: "The average temperature these days is around 30 degrees. As long as the corpse is not frozen in the refrigerator, it will definitely smell. There is no strange smell or blood in the underground garage... How did they dispose of the corpse? ?”

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

The entire underground garage is dark and cold, with no end in sight.The ground has not even been painted with cement, and the surrounding walls and stone pillars are in the most primitive state. Where else can the corpse be hidden?

Thinking of the secret room he found in the inn, Yue Xingwen said, "Is there a hidden secret room?"

Zhang Xiaonian said: "Probably not. We downloaded the construction drawings on the first day we came to the examination room, checked all the data carefully, and there was no such problem as the inn's data mismatch. 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 extra secret room."

Jiang Pingce suggested: "There is no underground, go to the roofed building and look for it. Xinyue Building is also connected to the underground garage. They might move the corpse upstairs."

Everyone came to the location directly below Xinyue Square, Yue Xingwen said: "Search separately. Brother Zhuo, Brother Xu, and Sister Lin go to District A, Qin Lu, Qin Miao, Ke Shao, and Xin Yan go to District B. Go to Area C with Ping Ce, Senior Brother Liu, and Xiaonian, and send a message to the research group channel to confirm at any time."

According to Yue Xingwen's arrangement, everyone divided into three groups, starting from the first floor and going to the seventh floor to search one by one.

The channel of the research group keeps popping up messages from everyone: "No abnormality found on the 1st floor of Area A."

"The second floor of Block 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 under construction. There are some traces of cement repairs on the wall. The whole building is extremely empty, without a single figure or trace of blood.

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

At the corner on the east side, 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 hadn't dried completely. It was normal for this kind of cement to appear on the construction site. When I climbed 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 the matter, Ping Ce, is there a problem here?"

Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, "There used to be a hole in the wall here."

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

Jiang Pingce closed his eyes and recalled carefully for a moment, and said: "I remember correctly, at the east corner of the 6th floor, this room was originally interconnected with the room next to it, and there was a wall hole that could allow people to pass between the two rooms. , I found Zhao Liang in the building, and he ran through the hole in the wall."

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

Yue Xingwen nodded, and said: "I believe that Ping Ce's memory will not be wrong. Since there was a hole here, but now it is 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 went numb: "Could it be that the corpse is hidden in the wall?!"

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

Zhang Xiaonian summoned a miniature excavator, looked at the wall in front of him worriedly, and said, "Since there is a passage in this wall, it should not be a load-bearing wall. If I dig it like this, the building won't 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 cement-sealed position, and gently dug a crack from the surrounding area.As the excavator worked quickly, the sealed wall gradually shattered in front of everyone's eyes——

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

I saw the boss Jiang Dexin in a suit, his wide eyes almost fell out of his sockets, his hands and feet were tightly bound by ropes, and his whole body was sealed in the cement of the wall in a "attention" posture.

There were no bloodstains or wounds on his body.

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