Chapter 224: The Demon Tower (B)
The project eventually became protracted, the original one-year construction period, the whole two years of drag, during which the glass would inexplicably burst when the glass was installed, the cable would be inexplicably short-circuited, the concrete of the floor had just been flattened the day before, and the next day there were a few lines of shallow barefoot footprints on it, and no one could see who left it.

After a long time, the workers were not surprised, but the developer was worried that the matter would spread and no one would dare to buy the house, after all, there was still a large number of new houses to sell in the future, so they blocked the matter and could not spread the word. But there is no impermeable wall, with the completion of the tower and the delivery of the house, those strange things on the construction site are gradually spread out, many homeowners are beating drums in their hearts, not in a hurry to live, simply leave the house where they are, but there are still no houses to live and bold masters, take the house, and move in after the decoration.
After more than a year of delivery, there are more than a dozen households living in it, and at night, the black tower, like a giant beast in the dark, only a few lights are on, and it is indescribably desolate.
Although there are not many people living in the area, the police of the police station in the area soon became busy, and many people called the police twice in three days, some reported that there were people playing mahjong all night in the building, some said that they heard someone screaming in their neighbor's house for a long time, and some people said that their things in their house fell to the ground and broke for no reason. But after the police went to see it, it was all some ghostly things, many of them were still chasing after the wind, one did not cause property damage, and the other was not suspected, that is, they could not file a case, and they did not have to mediate.
But in April this year, another resident reported that there was a problem with the elevator, and the police said that you have to find a developer or property company for this matter, but the residents let the police go over to see it, and the police station couldn't do it, so they sent the police Xiao Zhang to take a look.
Xiao Zhang arrived at the new village and entered the hole of the tower, and found that it was abnormal, it was already spring flowers outside, and even at night there was a temperature of more than ten degrees, and the breath in this building was still bubbling white, and the wind through the hall was bitingly cold. The elevator door on the first floor is opening and closing, and the aisle is also bright and dark, plus the lights in the aisle are a little dim, which always feels like a horror movie.
Xiao Zhang was about to walk over to check, when suddenly his right hand was grabbed from behind, Xiao Zhang was excited, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a man with five big and three thick, and he grabbed him from the corner of the stairwell. The man compared his index finger to his mouth, signaled Xiao Zhang not to speak, pointed to the elevator again, and pulled Xiao Zhang into the corner of the stairwell.
The elevator door opened and closed twice more before finally closing, and the display on the ladder showed that the elevator was ascending. The man whispered to Xiao Zhang: "Comrade policeman, it was me who called, the elevator in this building is very strange, no matter which floor you go to, it will stop on the thirteenth floor, you see." The man pulled Xiao Zhang to the elevator. Sure enough, the numbers on the display reached the thirteenth floor and stopped moving.
"Then you should also find a property and let the elevator factory repair it, we can't control this. Xiao Zhang complained and pressed the elevator up button.
"The elevator factory has been here, and I can't find any problems, and I changed a new panel last week, which is useless, as if someone had pressed the thirteenth floor. In the past two days, I squatted here and looked, when the elevator stopped on the first floor, the door always opened and closed, closed and opened several times, but there was no one in front of the elevator, I think it was the elevator door sensing something?"
Later, Xiao Zhang went back to the police station and told his colleagues that when the elevator door opened, his heart sank suddenly, and it felt as if something was about to happen, but the elevator was empty, just a cold wind seemed to pass through his body and whistle away.
Xiao Zhang also had a little numb scalp at this time, and entered the elevator with the man, the man pressed the fifteenth floor, and said to Xiao Zhang: "Comrade policeman, my surname is Zhang, I was demolished and moved from the village, and I live on the fifteenth floor. Xiao Zhang looked at the man, thirty-four or five-year-old years old, a little familiar, it is estimated that he has come to the police station to apply for household registration.
Before Xiao Zhang could answer, he found a strange thing: the elevator was going very unsteadily, and he would pause when he went up one or two floors. "We are still our own family, but the quality of this elevator seems to be a bit of a problem," Xiao Zhang continued. "Repair the elevator for about half a month, said that the elevator itself is fine, but the traction elevator on the steel cable, often wrenched in some dead mice, dead cats, dead birds or something, the steel cable will be stained with asphalt like things, so there will be some unstable, people often clean up and maintain. ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, the elevator stopped, but the door did not open, Xiao Zhang looked up at the display screen, showing the thirteenth floor. After about ten seconds of pause, the door opened. A cold wind poured in with a sharp whistle, and it was pitch black outside. The man was quite bold, stepped out, and said as he walked, "Comrade policeman, above the tenth floor, are all resettlement houses for our village, and the developer is not authentic, and the relocation houses do not give doors and windows, and the residents have to pay for their own money." The uninhabited empty house is ventilated everywhere, and in the winter, the sound is louder. ”
Xiao Zhang turned on the flashlight he was carrying, got out of the elevator, and the elevator door slammed shut. Xiao Zhang took a look around, and there were still a few houses on this floor with different styles of gates. "Is there still someone living on this floor?" Xiao Zhang asked. "No, absolutely not, there are eight households on each floor of this building, and the houses are all from our village. You should know about the moths that came out when repairing this building, right? After dividing the room, everyone slowly spread, several households have been renovated, Leng did not dare to come in to live, the head of the old Wang family, came in to live for a month, and moved back to the original house, there are three or four households on this floor, and they have not lived in, I know this. Xiao Zhang nodded, and followed the man into the depths of the aisle.
It seems that as the man said, there are still some decoration materials scattered in the corridor, which are covered with a lot of dust, and it seems that the work has been suspended for some days. The man also took out a flashlight, found an empty house without a door, and walked in. "Officer Zhang, come and see, you always say that we report the case blindly, but this building is really evil, you don't want to think of a way, I have to move back to the village next month." Xiao Zhang wanted to go back, this gloomy corridor was really uncomfortable, but when he saw the man turn in, he had to keep up.
Turning into the empty house, the man seemed to enter the kitchen, where there were several exposed pipes, which were supposed to be water and water pipes. The man put his ear to the pipe, listened carefully, and stroked Xiao Zhang's pen twice, pointing to the water pipe. Xiao Zhang walked over and listened to the pipe, and there seemed to be only the sound of the water flowing, and the occasional low sound of the wind, nothing else. The man handed Xiao Zhang a cigarette, lit it for him, and said in a low voice: "Officer Zhang, you wait a while, it's hard to come back, I have to explain the matter to you clearly, but I don't believe you just by saying it." ”
The cigarette was almost finished, and Xiao Zhang suddenly heard a faint sound of rubbing mahjong from the water pipe, and the man pointed to the pipe and nodded to Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang listened carefully again, the sound became clearer and clearer, rubbing cards, code cards, playing cards, not long after the sound of the downturn, but the sound seemed to be along the tube, from far and near to come up, Xiao Zhang could not distinguish the direction of the coming, in a sense this sound may be from any of the building.
"Officer Zhang, do you hear something wrong?" the man asked in a low voice again. "There's nothing wrong with that, which one is playing mahjong. Xiao Zhang didn't react for a while. "Officer Zhang, listen carefully, you say, who plays mahjong and doesn't speak, you don't shout to eat or touch from beginning to end, but the general shouting is nonsense, right?"
Xiao Zhang listened carefully again, and indeed as the man said, from beginning to end, a game of cards, only heard the sound of playing cards, and there was no sound of speaking, could it be that the sound of speech could not be transmitted? But Xiao Zhang himself quickly denied this unscientific idea. He looked up and looked at the man suspiciously.
The man handed Xiao Zhang a cigarette again: "Playing mahjong, several families have reported to your police station, and you are the first to come." About this voice has been for almost half a year, you go to bed at night, as if you are not asleep in a daze, you can hear, this fight until dawn, basically every day, if the usual neighbors play cards will not be unable to sleep, the trouble is that you only hear the sound of cards, no sound, the more you listen to the more panicked, the more you listen, the more you can't sleep, people are going crazy. ”
Xiao Zhang gradually began to believe what the man said before, "Do you know which house in this building likes to play mahjong or something?"
The man shook his head, "Officer Zhang, there really isn't, I know most of the dozen or so families who live in, let alone playing mahjong, and I can't even make up four people in the family." I don't know about those people who came to buy a house, but I wondered, it's not likely, who can play like this all night every day, unless you open a mahjong parlor, but you can also see, there are few people in and out of this building at night. ”
Xiao Zhang nodded, if you really want to check, you can only learn something from people who buy houses from outside. At this moment, Xiao Zhang suddenly heard a tactful erhu sound from the water pipe. This erhu is really not very good, not only the beat is not quite right, but also often out of tune, very amateurish. But even so, Xiao Zhang can still hear a kind of vicissitudes and depression from it, and I don't know if it is because of the surrounding environment that has formed such an atmosphere.
The man obviously heard the erhu sound as well, but his heart was really big, and while listening, he slapped his hand on his lap, and muttered in his mouth: "It's still that song, and it doesn't make much progress every day, it's torturous." "Xiao Zhang thinks about it, no matter how good the song is, I can't stand listening to it every day, not to mention that it's always out of tune.
