Chapter 128: Demon Tower (Already)
It is extremely difficult to find useful clues to the incident in the vast amount of household registration data, especially since the data files have been established since the fifth or third year, and the situation before the liberation is blank. It seems that www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion will still have time to go to the Museum of Culture and History to check.
It is estimated that it will take three to five days to read through the existing information. But the good thing is that a volume of the history of changes in the modern countryside in the suburbs of Beijing is slowly emerging in front of us. I only try to pick and choose what interests me to see first. There are twenty-seven families surnamed Ma in Mawang Village, and if you look carefully, most of them are related to each other, and it should be a big family.
But judging from the files, they are all authentic peasants, and only two outdoor relocations have been carried out in the past few decades, except for what Xiao Zhang said, because there are records of confession records for the relocation of graves, and there are no other records and bad records except for household registration.
On the contrary, the more than 40 families surnamed Wang are at the other extreme, stealing chickens and dogs, fighting and causing trouble, molesting women, and most of the cases filed by the police station are related to the Wang family. Living in a village is the most likely to cause disputes, it can be seen from the records that the people of the Wang family often do bad things, but never provoke the people of the Ma family, is it really that the two families are scruples about each other, or is there another reason?
There are also surnames Li, Du and Zhao in the village, which are local residents of the village, and have also branched out over the past few decades, and there are more than a dozen families in the village. But in a yellowed dossier, I found a strange record.
It was in 1956, the Du family reported a missing person case, his 67-year-old man went missing, it seems that he has not been found, two years later according to the death of the household, but in 60, the old man Du returned to the village, the family said that he was not very clear, he did not know where he had gone all these years, and re-registered. In the 69th year, Mr. Du went missing again, and an 80-year-old man, where could he go? But the people in the village said that Mr. Du was physically tough, looked like he was in his 60s, and could chop wood and cook rice, but his brain was a little confused.
The police station arranged a lot of police forces, and the commune also cooperated with dozens of people, and the search for people within a radius of 20 miles was posted, and the stations and bustling streets of Beijing posted missing person notices, but nothing was found. Two years later, in seventy-one years, the old man Du was eliminated again. Six years later, in 1977, the 88-year-old Mr. Du returned to the village again, and his family told the police station that Mr. Du had gone to Nanshan to cultivate the road, but he was completely confused, and he was busy for a while and re-registered his household registration.
Mr. Du died in 83 at the age of 95, but I found that the Du family had eliminated the household registration and the matter of registering was not over. In eight or nine years, the Du family came to the police station again, saying that Mr. Du had a nephew in Shaanxi, who was alone and had no one to take care of him, and wanted to move his household registration into the village.
At that time, the Beijing hukou was not as pretty as it is now, and the Du family dragged people around looking for relationships, but they still put the hukou on the list. If there is no living grave in the past, the disappearance of the population and the registration of the household registration are in a large number of files, which is not so eye-catching, but the connection between the two things does not seem to be so simple.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Lei walked in, and I realized that it was almost dark. Ray took off his coat and pulled up a stool and sat down next to me. "Uncle Chang, I went to the Cultural Relics Bureau, most of the bones were buried, and there were a few pieces left for the record, I took them out and sent them to the Identification Center of the Criminal Investigation Team. What did you find?"
"Not yet, so many files are estimated to be a few days away, but I just saw some things about the elimination of households, a little interesting, you can take a look. Xiao Lei took the file and read it, and before he could finish reading it, Xiao Zhang also pushed the door in, carrying a few lunch boxes in his hand.
"Uncle Chang, eat first, I have checked the matter of that land, let's not run outside, eat some work, and I'll tell you while eating." Xiao Zhang cleared the table and handed us the lunch box.
"Uncle Chang, that piece of land is the private land allocated to Ma Zengshan's family, and I found it in the archives of the commune. At that time, it was because the ancestral grave of the Ma family was next to it that the Ma family proposed to the village to contract this land, but this land itself was not a good land, and the commune agreed. Xiao Zhang said while eating, it seems that he is hungry after running for a day.
This result was not unexpected by me, but I thought in my heart, judging from the archives, there is nothing strange about the Ma family itself, but there are many doubts about the Du family, if it is the Ma family, will there be any connection between the Ma family and the Du family? Xiao Zhang saw that I did not speak, and continued to speak.
"I also went to check the ownership of the land before liberation, but there were no clues, it took too long, and I experienced ****, it is estimated that the old title deed and other things have been destroyed early, but I went to the village to find a few old people and asked, they said that the land in the east of the village was all owned by the Ma family, extending to the canal, there are thousands of acres, and the land in the west of the village is the Wang family, according to this statement, the land before the liberation should be the Ma family. Xiao Zhang spoke intermittently, but after he finished speaking, the meal was finished.
I put down the lunch box and asked Xiao Zhang again, "There is an old man Du in the village who has lived for 95 years, and he has a nephew who moved from Shaanxi, and now he is afraid that he is also in his 80s, have you seen this person?"
Xiao Zhang scratched his head, obviously uncomfortable with my jumping way of asking questions. "I was still in elementary school when Mr. Du died, and I haven't seen his nephew, but there was a joke in our institute that it was not Mr. Du's nephew at all, but his illegitimate son outside, because he looked too similar. ”
"Then ask the old people in the village, have you seen Old Man Du's nephew in the past two years? And by the way, inquire about the land on the foundation of the tower, did the Ma family originally grow grain crops such as corn and sorghum, but not used to grow vegetables? Also, tomorrow, please ask Xiao Zhang again, where did the Ma family move the ancestral grave? Take me to see. I didn't bother to explain to Xiao Zhang, so I threw the question to him again. These questions themselves are not boundary, and anyone who listens to them will inevitably be confused. But Xiao Zhang obviously didn't understand the character of not wanting to at all, although his expression was surprised, he still agreed to it.
After a quick bite to eat, we chatted for a while, and after nine o'clock, Xiao Zhang found three large flashlights, and we went to the haunted tower.
At this time, Beijing was already in winter, the north wind was howling, and it was barren all around. The car did not pass through Mawang Village, but along a temporary road built by the developer for construction vehicles to enter and exit, not to mention the bumps, there was not even a street light around. If it weren't for Xiao Zhang's familiarity with the road, I really doubt that this would not be the city of Beijing at all.
After walking for a few minutes, Xiao Zhang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, pointed me ahead, and I vaguely saw a few dim lights, and a gloomy high-rise building gradually took shape. The developer on the roof installed a few large neon signs, and the lamps were broken a lot, except for the words "sky" and "village", the others could not be distinguished at all.
When we entered the community, there was no one at the gate, so the three of us wrapped up in military coats, parked the car, and entered the tower.
It is said that this building has just been built for two or three years, and it should be very new, but when I entered the corridor, I found that the wall skin on the roof of the building was damp, with many traces of blisters, and the paint on the wall cracked in many places, revealing the rough concrete inside. Floor tiles are used on the floor, but I don't know if it's a quality problem, or the decoration is often carrying heavy objects, and it is broken a lot, and it has not been repaired. Both sides of the aisle are piled with bicycles, and those who don't ride often are in it, and there is a thick layer of dust.
There were originally four large ceiling lamps on the top, two of which were completely unlit, and the two that were bright, one of which was also flashing, and it was estimated that it would not last long. The whole corridor is dim and abnormal, giving people the feeling of being an old building for more than ten years. Walk through the staircase and you'll find the elevator hall. At that time, there were not many towers in Beijing, and I had the impression that there were a few along the side of the Third Ring Road, but I had never seen them outside the city. There is only one elevator in this building, and it is estimated that it is still very inconvenient for residents to travel.
When we entered, the elevator was on the eighteenth floor, Xiao Zhang pressed the button, and pulled us to stand at the corner of the corridor, telling us to take a look at the strange place of the elevator first. After a while, the elevator reached the first floor, the door opened, the fluorescent lights in the elevator were very bright, and the corner where we stayed became the darkest corner in the corridor.
The door opened for a moment and then closed automatically. In my impression, in the general elevator, the door is closed, and if you don't push the button, the door won't open again. But this elevator, after the door closed for half a minute, slowly opened again, stopped for more than ten seconds, and then automatically closed, and then opened and closed again, the interval became shorter and shorter, and finally the door opened half and did not move. A few seconds later, the fluorescent lights in the elevator flashed twice and went out, leaving the elevator room pitch black.
Xiao Zhang smiled at us and said, "That's it, the people in the elevator factory still say that it is a normal phenomenon. With that, he took a deep breath and pressed the button again. The lights in the elevator came on again, and the elevator doors opened with the light.
After entering the elevator, Xiao Zhang pressed the nineteenth floor and told us: "Uncle Chang, Lei Zi, you see, this elevator will stop on the thirteenth floor by itself." You don't have to press at all. "The elevator slowly climbed up, the first few floors were very stable, but after nine floors, the elevator paused obviously, even the fluorescent lights flashed, and then went up, the speed slowed down obviously, and it seemed to be very difficult.
On the thirteenth floor, the elevator stopped, and there was a clang, and then the elevator doors slowly opened, revealing the dark corridor behind it, and the bitter cold wind wrapped the dust and poured into the elevator room. We all used our arms to block it, and Xiao Zhang turned on the flashlight and led us out of the elevator.
didn't take a few steps, and the elevator door behind him closed with a "dang", and there was no light in the entire aisle except for Xiao Zhang's flashlight. I looked back, and the monitor showed that the elevator quickly reached the nineteenth floor and stopped.
