Chapter 234: Bacchus (G)

The pointer on the office wall had reached one o'clock in the morning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's been a long time since Oe stayed up late in the office, maybe three months? Maybe half a year. In the past, when there were many cases, Oe developed the habit of sleeping in the office, even if there was nothing important, staying in the office always made Oe feel that he would be closer to the truth.

After smoking the cigarettes in the cigarette case, Dajiang still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply took out a small dozen portraits of the deceased and flipped them up one by one. The craftsmanship of Master Yan's portrait is becoming more and more fascinating, and a few lines seem to be able to outline the character's personality before his death.

But in front of him, it is estimated that Master Yan has also hesitated for a long time, and even Dajiang, an art layman, can see that many brushstrokes are very hesitant. I don't know why, he suddenly felt that each portrait seemed to be different, the more he turned back, the more the thin old man on the portrait seemed to have his eyes wider and wider, and the more he opened them, the more energetic he became, and the corners of his mouth also vaguely showed a smile that was not easy to detect. It looked like an old naughty boy who had set some kind of trap, waiting for his prankish joke to begin.

Dae sat up straight, but immediately knocked twice on his head, which was already a little lost. Hallucinations, abominable hallucinations, they are all copies from a photocopier, how can they be different from before and after? Oe smiled bitterly and threw the portrait aside, muttering in his mouth: "Old fellow, where did you fall from, you look like a drunkard, who will harm you?"

At this moment, that magical intuition appeared unexpectedly, and Dae involuntarily wrote the word "wine" on the white paper on the table, and drew five circles on the outside of the word wine, and in a trance, the five circles seemed to circle around the word wine. He stared at it for a long time, as if an unfamiliar voice in his head told him, "It's around the winery, it's around the winery." ”

Early the next morning, Dajiang made a temporary decision not to participate in the investigation and expansion of the five-kilometer campaign, and asked more than 20 police forces to divide into four groups and expand the investigation in four directions. I changed into civilian clothes, grabbed my bag, pedaled on my bicycle, and walked around the brewery façade again.

The old factory of Wuhuan Brewery is actually not big, 300 meters from east to west, more than 200 meters from north to south, it is said that it used to be larger, in the 60s, the factory was shut down for a period of time, and some of the westernmost factories were occupied by the Red Guards, and became what headquarters. Later, some surrounding residents slowly moved in, and when the factory resumed production, these old houses were all a large family, and they couldn't be recovered. Later, because the staff dormitory was also in the west, the factory simply rebuilt the wall and isolated the piece outside the factory.

Similarly, in the middle of the factory, there are also several old factories that have been occupied by nearby residents, changed into residential buildings, and are now also enclosed outside. The brewery eventually became two parts, large in the east and small in the west, with no buildings in between, only a twenty or thirty-meter-long road, and a row of low makeshift sheds on one side of the road, which were ventilated on all sides, and piled up some scraps and timber from the workshop. On the other side of the road, some tall poplar trees were planted, like a wall, covering the real wall.

The brewing hall is on the west side of the plant, so there are very few people coming in and out. The western wall was noticed, and it was noticeably taller than the eastern one, about three meters and a half, and the upper part was clearly elevated, and the top surface was covered with broken glass. It stands to reason that the key departments of the brewery are on the east side of the plant, so why would the west wall be built so high?

After turning around, in less than half an hour, Dajiang simply turned into the factory again. The old man who was cleaning was holding a big broom and standing at the door of the communication room. Da Jiang remembered the question he had just seen about the courtyard wall, so he simply chatted with Lao Hetou. According to Lao Hetou, the wall was raised in the late eighties. Because outside the west wall, there are not only several dormitory buildings in the factory, but also a large bungalow area, where people live in a variety of people. At the end of the 80s, people often climbed over the wall to come in, took thermos bottles and plastic barrels directly into the wine storage workshop, filled them and then went out over the wall.

The security department of the factory is in the eastern half of the factory, because at that time the east side was the brewing workshop and the purification workshop, and the valuable equipment was concentrated there, and the financial office and the material department were also there. The people who waited for the guard heard a dog barking in the west, and rushed through the poplar forest from the east, and the wine thief from the west ran away early. Later, when the stealing was at its worst, someone took a plastic pipe directly from the large wooden barrel in the wine storage workshop, pulled it all the way to the outside of the wall, put a gasoline barrel outside the wall, filled it with a barrel and then pushed it back.

What's even more hateful is that the stealers have to fill the barrels with water, and then wholesale them to nearby kiosks and sell them to the customers around them who scatter the liquor. At that time, the water-injected beer was sold cheaper than the ex-factory price of the beer in the factory, so that the loose wine in the factory could not be sold, not to mention, outsiders still complained that the wine in the factory tasted bad, light and astringent, and the quality dropped significantly. Naturally, there are words of suffering in the factory.

Later, the Public Security Bureau sent police officers to the squatting site to arrest several people, arresting many people, and one of them was sentenced to three years. But after all, this is a business without capital, and the public security can't always watch there, the limelight has passed, over the wall, over the wall, over the takeover, everything is business as usual.

Director Liu's predecessor saw that it was not a solution, so he adjusted the factory building. Although the equipment in the brewing workshop is expensive, those people are not from the equipment, and they can't move it, and the original liquor that has not been filtered, precipitated and purified cannot be drunk. Then the walls were raised and broken glass ballast was installed, so that the wind of stealing wine could be stopped.

Listening to Old Man He's babbling narration, Da Jiang was a little anxious at first, but the more he listened, the more he heard a little taste. I couldn't help but ask: "Uncle He, I don't understand, why didn't you just move the security office to the west when you caught those people who stole wine?" Why bother to move the workshop so much?"

Uncle He smiled when he heard Da Jiang's question. "Comrade police is just not ordinary, I really can't hear this story to ordinary people, you can ask a little bit at once. Officer Jiang, in fact, everyone in the factory knows about this matter, but no one tells it to the outside world, I said, you just take it as a story, you don't have to take it seriously. Because the factory to the west is haunted. ”

"Haunted?" was an explanation that greatly surprised Oe.

Uncle He nodded, as soon as the box opened, it turned out to be a story of almost a hundred years.

The Five Rings Brewery has been haunted for a long time, and the worst one began in '83. First of all, Officer Li of the factory security department was on night duty, and when he walked to the row of poplar trees in the middle of the east and west factory area, he suddenly heard the sound of Xi Suo Suo on the tree, and when the flashlight shone, he saw a red-haired thing lying on the branch more than two meters high, hidden in the leaves, his head and shoulders were exposed, and he was about the same size as a person, but his eyes were like two big black holes, and he was still flashing green, staring straight at himself.

Officer Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately screamed in fright and ran back. After a little determination, he called a few more people, and dared to go back to see, but he didn't find anything.

Officer Li thought he was dazzled. A few days later, I went to the west to patrol the factory area, this time I was worried all the way, but after the row of poplars, nothing happened, and as soon as I put my mind at ease, I walked to the factory building of the wine storage workshop. When I turned from the first row to the second row, I turned the corner and saw a person squatting by the wall. Officer Li took a flashlight, and the hairy thing had just turned around his face, and it was the two big black holes with green light, but this time there was a big mouth with a cruel smile.

Officer Li threw away the flashlight, ran away, and fell seriously ill when he returned to the dormitory, and the people in the security department slowly learned about it. Officer Li is a demobilized cadre of the army, although he is an engineer, but he has also carried a gun and received professional training, and he can scare him like this, and everyone else has no bottom in their hearts.

Within a month, Officer Li recovered from his illness, and he resolutely resigned. Since then, the security department has been patrolling at night, and since then they have been in groups of two or three, and they have not acted alone. In the next two or three years, a few more people bumped into the hairy thing. In '87, there was a man named Han Xiangyang, and when he touched that thing, he secretly took out a gun, and in a panic, shot at it. But the body of the thing seemed to be made of steel and iron, and when the bullet hit, the thing flew out in shock, and lay on the ground and did not move.

Han Xiangyang was bold, ran back two steps, looked back and saw that the mass of things didn't move, so he walked back again, but when he was three or four meters away from that thing, the thing suddenly jumped up, grinning and rushing towards Han Xiangyang. Fortunately, Han Xiangyang ran fast and was not caught. But after that time, Han Xiangyang also said that he was not in the security office.

Since then, the story of an invulnerable ghost in the factory has slowly spread, and in a few years, most of the people in the security department have run away. The newcomers are not much better, and Old Man He remembers that there are two or three people who are crazy just by frightening. There was no way in the factory, so the special organization searched all the corners of the factory during the day, and it was strange, there was no trace at all, and no one knew how the thing appeared and how it disappeared. Perhaps, the only plausible explanation is ghosts.

In the 90s, the matter of stealing wine became more and more serious, and the factory issued a death order, and the security department was in a group of four people to keep vigil in the wine storage workshop, and a few people who stole wine must be caught and returned. The people in the security department had no choice but to bite the bullet.

(There are four times in the heavens, and there are four uses for people.) What are the four uses? Seeing and forming, not knowing in the eyes, hearing and refining, not being smart in the ears, heavy and closed, not fixed in the mouth, containing and hiding, not deep in the heart. Seeing its shape, hearing its voice, speaking its sincerity, and the essence of the heart, the transformation of all things is extremely salty. --"Huainanzi")
