"Ah, we've written down the address, we'll be checking on the situation right away, please keep the phone open, hey, hey?"

No matter how much I spoke to the other end of the phone, there was no response, only the rustle of something rubbing against the floor...

Then, the phone was hung up, Lao Liu looked at me with a strange expression, and hurriedly asked me about the situation, I told him what had just happened, his expression immediately became relaxed, smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said.

"Don't be nervous, the two quarreled, the neighbor called the police, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but this New Year's Eve night is still quarrelling, is the relationship so bad, hey, it's okay, I'll contact the nearby police immediately." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the communicator on the side.

But I always had an indescribable doubt in my head... Husband and wife quarrels?

Husband and wife quarrels will send out... And apart from those two screams, I didn't hear any fighting, but it was possible that the informant was downstairs, so I couldn't really hear the movement upstairs.

So I didn't tell Boss Liu about screaming.

"This is the Dongcheng Police Station, may I ask which comrade is patrolling at No. 3 Wutong Road now?"

Rustle Rustle –

Don't laugh at the poor equipment we have, in those days, if it wasn't for the clear regulations, these equipment must be equipped, and our Dongcheng Police Station may really be missed.

But you said that even if the equipment is old, it won't mean that you can't call people, how can you say that this is also a public thing, and you must not drop the chain at a critical moment.

But tonight... This thing, it's really out of order...

"Hey, hey, can any comrades hear me? Are there any comrades patrolling near Wutong Road and the old park, hey!"

Boss Liu was also very puzzled, this is an unheard of situation, even if there are no comrades patrolling nearby, if the nearby police receive the call, they should respond immediately and rush there...

But today, the communicator doesn't really make any sound other than a rustling sound...

"Alas, machines, after all, are machines, but they are not good. ”

Lao Liu sighed, complained, and then got up and put on his coat.

"What are you doing, Old Liu. ”

I hurriedly asked, at this moment, Lao Liu had already put on his hat and picked up the notebook for recording.

At that time, we did not have the universal use of body camera here, and it was usually a team of two police officers, one responsible for understanding the scene, and the other responsible for recording.

"We are very close to Wutong Road, I will ride a bicycle to go there immediately, or in a few minutes, you will stay on the station, what is the situation, I will paging to tell you. ”

After speaking, Boss Liu flipped the collar of his coat, copied a flashlight and walked out.

Now it rings out... If I could have stopped Boss Liu at that time, or... I'll go with him and ask Lao Wang to help stay behind for a while... Wouldn't that be different?

Speaking of this, Li Chuan raised the wine glass and drank it all, Chai Xu found that his face was full of remorse, but now he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pick up the wine bottle, fill it up again, and muttered in his mouth.

"Uncle Li, there are some things, we don't know how to do it, it will lead to a better ending, because we can't predict the future, so don't be too sad. ”

Although he said that, Chai Xu was very curious, what did this Boss Liu encounter, but fortunately, Li Chuan didn't feel too much, and after two glasses of wine, he continued to tell about the bizarre incident that shocked the police station of City C.

After Boss Liu left, I deliberately tried the communicator again, but helplessly, it was still the same situation as just now, and there was no response.

It was supposed to be just a very ordinary attendance, but my heart... It's always up and down, and I always feel... There was something wrong, but I couldn't remember what was wrong.

Wutong Road, which is near the old park, is very close to us, and I will definitely pass by there when I go to work, and I have the impression that it is a very old community building... What is wrong with that, making me so uneasy...

I looked at the wall throughout, at 12:35, it had been 20 minutes since Boss Liu went out, I probably thought I should have arrived, so I took out the pager, just at this time, the pager lit up, and a text message came from it.

[Everything is normal, I have seen the informant and her mother, and now I am about to go upstairs to understand the situation, the lights are very dim here, I have to get a flashlight, you wait for my news. 】

Seeing this message, I put my hanging heart down at once, after all, Boss Liu is the treasure of the town, very sophisticated, and there should be no problem in dealing with a simple family dispute.

As soon as I put this heart down, I was a little sleepy, but on duty, I must not take a nap, I turned on the dilapidated little TV, at that time, the TV, could not receive a few channels, so I could only watch the local TV station.

It just so happened that some plans for the New Year were played.

"It is a great honor to announce to you that the Lu's Consortium will fully assist the municipal government in the coming year and carry out a major renovation of City C, and we are committed to making City C more dazzling and dazzling, and become the pride of all people in City C. ”

On TV, a handsome man in a formal suit is saying something to the camera, of course I know this person, but he doesn't know me...

Lu Tong, the young owner of the Lu consortium, the urban renovation he refers to has been publicized for nearly two years, and it seems that construction will start in this year.

"Here are the areas where we first rectified. ”

A map of the city appeared behind Lu Tong, and he pointed to a few places where he made punches and said.

"Dongcheng, Nan'an, Xiqu, Jiangbei, we will carry out transformation at the same time, and strive for the common progress of the four districts, and no one will be left behind. ”

Chai Xu heard the problem at this moment, and hurriedly interjected: "... Uncle Li, didn't you say that Dongcheng District has only started the renovation project in recent years, isn't this contrary to the simultaneous renovation plan that Lu Tong said?"

Li Chuan's face was embarrassed, but he also smiled, he raised his head, squinted his eyes and said, "... Stinky boy, it's quite sensitive, it's very suitable for being a policeman, that's right, you're right, it's a contradiction... And all the contradictions, that is, from that night..."

......

Listening to Lu Tong making beautiful plans with some upper-class people on TV, I was young and vigorous at the time, and I also seemed to be full of hope for the future.

But when he pointed to the small red circle in Dongcheng... My hairs... Suddenly... Stand up!

I didn't care about much, so I turned on the sound of the TV very loudly at once! I listened to the TV, and Lu Tong said every word very truly.

"This is Dongcheng District, No. 3 Wutong Road, we will start from here to carry out the first transformation, and the community we selected is a century-old Liulichang community, its architectural pattern and internal facilities are extremely aging, not only will affect the public residence, but also bring hidden dangers to safety, so two months ago, we have begun to negotiate with the residents in the community, fortunately, the factory community is too old, a total of four families are still living, and they are all elderly, our work is going very smoothly. ”

... I don't know what Lu Tong said after that, because I have a few creepy messages echoing in my head now...

No. 3 Wutong Road...

Liulichang Community...

Rebuild...

Uninhabited... Reside...

Oh my god....!

I finally remembered what this sense of disobedience was! I had just passed by there when I went to work in the morning, why did I forget it all now, the Liulichang community had already been emptied two months ago! The gate was also locked by the Urban Construction Bureau, and even a homeless person couldn't run in!

“... It's a prank call, it must be..."

I thought to myself that it must be a prank, but... But how to explain Boss Liu's paging message just now...

What is called... I've been in touch with the informant... Also, it's already in the building??

Click, I turned off the TV, rushed to the communicator, called several times in a row, and was even a little angry, but the damn communicator just didn't respond...

I couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed my coat and rushed out, pushing my bicycle to the gate when I shouted at Lao Wang.

"Brother Wang, help me take a look! There is an emergency in the Liuli Factory on Wutong Road!"

Without waiting for Lao Wang's response, I had already rushed out on my bicycle, it was drizzling in the sky, I didn't even bring gloves and hats in the hurry, and the cold wind blew my hands and head painfully, but the sense of uneasiness in my heart urged me to hurry up, and I must hurry to the scene.

The streets are full of wandering pedestrians, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the time, it is already New Year's Day, and I also saw some comrades on patrol along the way, so why ... Not a single one responded to the communicator...

I didn't have time to ask any comrades for help, and I only had one thought in my mind, that is, I had to hurry to Liulichang.

Strange to say, the more you go to Liulichang, the fewer pedestrians along the way, it took me less than 15 minutes to ride to No. 3 Wutong Road... What makes me feel weird is this road... The street lights were dim, there was not a single passerby, and the nearby buildings were not lit at all.

“... Damn, what the hell is the place. ”

When I came over during the day, I never thought that this street would be so terrible, I thought that because this section was going to be demolished and rebuilt, so the nearby people were relocated to other places, so at this moment, this street looks ghostly.

After parking my bike, I immediately came to the gate of Liulichang, but I couldn't get in... for the gate is imprisoned by a heavy chain...

What puzzled me even more was that the door had never been opened... That... So where did Boss Liu go... This Liulichang community has long been cut off from water and electricity, and it is impossible for people to live at all...

What Boss Liu just said in the newsletter... The informant and her mother... And who is it...
