12. Short story - different picture 2.
"Mr. Mu, I don't know if this is to your taste."
I nodded and tasted a little, and felt that the taste was not bad, so I gave a thumbs up to Lao Li Xia, who was next to me. This is called the taste of flower chicken, which is just right, fragrant but not greasy, and chewy. I don't know who made it, but it's the best chicken I've ever eaten. The dinner party started at 6 o'clock and ended before the child's hour, so I ate a lot of meat, and many of the women present ate as if they were pregnant, and they were about to lose their walk.
When I woke up the next day, I started to investigate, what was the breaking point? Of course, I have to sort out what really happened. The first architect disappeared on January 10, the tenth day of construction, the second on the thirty-eighth day of construction, the third on the fifty-fifth day of construction, and the fourth on seventy-seven days. It's March 25th. It's been seven days since the last time an architect disappeared, and the only one of them was in the dead of night, two of them were not at their desks when they disappeared, they disappeared when they were working overtime, and one person was really in the dormitory, and when everyone got up to work the next day, they found that the architect was not in bed, and he didn't work overtime, and they searched around and didn't see him. Those two were the second and third cases of the disappearance of the architect, because no one was present when they disappeared, so there was no more detailed information. That's all I know so far.
Walk out of the office, which is my current dorm room. The two architects who were in charge of the other buildings had already moved out the day after I arrived. Lao Li, the foreman of the contractor, saw that they were a man and a woman after all, and it was not convenient to be here, which would affect my handling of the case, so he asked them all to go to other offices to work.
Seeing that it is also sunny outside, although it is still cold, I can barely survive here, in fact, I am thinking about going back to the house today, after all, there is still heating in the house, and I don't have to freeze like my grandson now. The office was not far from the stone bridge that had just been poured, and it took less than five minutes to walk under the stone bridge, where the cement pillars had already been transported, and several huge pillars were falling to the ground, caressing the dust on them, which was almost a millimeter thick. Part of the ground was already buried in the dirt, and I wanted to pick it up with my hands to see how deep it was buried. Because the weather is too cold now, and the sun appeared just half a minute ago, and now the wind has begun to blow, although the wind is not strong, but it is really uncomfortable to blow on the ears. There was no dead grass and no trees around, except for the dirt, which was like a desert.
I also found that there are fire paper and dead coins around here, and even half-burned peach wood, it seems that they have found more Taoist priests than me. Although many people call me sir, my sect also belongs to Taoism, and I have received the blessing of the great god Xingtian and the possession of my ancestors, which is an adventure and will not affect my sect. Of course, to be honest, that's good if it can be influenced, at least I can learn divine arts, and I don't need to learn Taoist arts.
At least none of the Taoist priests they found found found the root cause of the matter, or that those people were here to cheat money. Before I came, I also said that I wanted money, but I said that you can watch and give the money when the time comes. Even if I give too much, I have to donate a lot of it, although I am not afraid of the rules and precepts now, but I still have to abide by it, not for anyone to see, but for myself.
The next thing is to go to the dormitories of those architects, their dormitories are the same as the dormitories I came on the first day, the dormitory arranged for me by the contractor Lao Li, all of them are heated rooms, because they have disappeared for too long, and now the luggage has already been packed and thrown into a small warehouse, and several people are the same. I don't know if it's a little skeptical that it should be in such a hurry? I put away other people's luggage, but looking at the many beds in the room, I can understand why I have to put away my luggage so quickly. Because there are so many people, the space is a bit insufficient. Later, I found the contractor Lao Li, found him and asked him for the key, he is still very enthusiastic, seeing me walk into his office, he wanted to go out with the car keys, but saw me coming. He stopped again, poured me a cup of tea, and asked me what I had come to him for.
"Mr. Mu? Now got a clue? He looked at me with a smile on his face.
"There are no clues." I said it to him straight up.
He was even happier when he heard what I said: "I believe that the legendary Mr. Mu is absolutely able to find the root cause of the matter, but at most it is a matter of time." In a few days, you'll be able to find the truth and solve the case. ”
"I'll lend you a good word. Oh yes. Mr. Li, can you show me the disappeared architects and their luggage, I want to see if I can find some truth there. ”
"It's all a trifle." As he spoke, he took out a key from the desk of his desk. Then he beckoned me to go with him.
"Those luggage are all the people who lived with him, and they all say that he is now gone, so put away the luggage, otherwise it will be too much of a trouble. Then I put it away so that when it was time for them to come back, or to inform the family, I could hand over their belongings to them. ”
I listened and walked in the back, but I didn't inform my family, and I had a cold expression: "What? Haven't they been notified yet? ”
I'm not the kind of person who can impress with a small favor, but I'm also a person who knows right from wrong.
"Mr. Mu, don't be angry yet. It's not that I don't want to inform the people in their family, it's that after hearing about this incident, they have to resolutely block the news. You can't let anyone reveal it. ”
"That's a bit too much, who's to say it's not. But the above orders cannot be violated, and in general, the above should have the above ideas. It's not for someone like me to give an opinion. ”
We talked and walked, and soon came to the small warehouse in the dormitory. After opening it, Lao Li, the foreman of the contractor, stood outside the door, watching me pick up and pluck there. I looked at their clothes, and there was nothing of value, and at the same time, Lao Li's phone rang here. After he answered the phone, I heard from the sidelines that it was the new Stone Bridge Architect who had arrived.
"Mr. Mu, you can take a look here first, there is a ..... here"
"I'll go with you."
"Okay, that's fine."
The speed of driving to the high-speed rail station is okay, and now because the Spring Festival has just passed, there are not many people at the high-speed rail station, and we are the people who received it at the police station at the high-speed rail station. It's not that he's guilty of anything. Lao Li explained to me: The first police station is easy to find people. Second, we are all working for the country now, this project was said at the 20th National Congress of the Central Committee, during the period of reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace, all civil servants, police, etc.... Those who eat the national meal must actively cooperate with the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace.
"Hello, I am Mr. Li, the person in charge of the Old Summer Palace, and welcome to your arrival." Lao Li stretched out his hand. Lao Li's words are different from those for me, just an ordinary smile for him, and respect for me.
When the new architect heard this, he immediately nodded: "Hello Mr. Li, my name is Li Su." He is currently a National Architect Level 2 Certificate. This Li Su, who is from Lao Li's own family, seems to want to give Lao Li a dismount when he says this.
"Certificates don't work for me here, I need to see your abilities." For Lao Li, a person who is close to fifty years old, and an old fritter who has been in society for decades, he can naturally see at a glance how much moisture there is in him when he says this.
This sentence choked Li Su, he didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say when he stood here.
"This young man, Mr. Mu, is the person in charge of the design of the stone bridge you came this time, if you don't know how to look for him." Lao Li looked at him and used a gesture of please.
"Hello, my name is Tang Mu. Now the person in charge of the stone bridge you designed. I held out my hand and replied.
He hurriedly clasped my hand with both hands: "Hello Mr. Tang. My name is Li Su. ”
Lao Li took me and Li Su and drove back to the Old Summer Palace, the new architect's treatment was much worse than mine, and the first meal was in the cafeteria. And today, I ate in the cafeteria all day, and the food was... It's delicious, after all, in addition to me, there are many scholars and masters, and no matter what, you can't afford to be disadvantaged by the talents of these countries. Lao Li took him to his dormitory, and after a while, Lao Li took him to the place where he worked, which was the tent where I live now. At home, I have a habit of sleeping naked, and I hardly sleep naked when I go out, so it is very inconvenient for others to do anything.
I've been looking at him for the past few days and scrapping all the previous design drawings. I feel that now that the style of the stone bridge has been decided, then it will not be interesting for him to redraw the design drawing. In the end, all they drew had to be like that. Because I don't understand the construction industry, so I didn't say a word, I showed any flaws, every time he showed it to me, I asked someone to help me see what went wrong. Then that person sent me again, this person also belongs to the architect, this person was found by Lao Li, I wanted to ask him to get it, but when he heard about it, he couldn't die. Later, Lao Li found him and helped Lao Li fulfill a lie.
Ever since Li Su started painting the stone bridge, I suddenly felt that this tent was a little strange, and there was always a different atmosphere floating outside the tent. It's just that when I go in, or someone else enters, this breath immediately disappears without a trace, and I don't know what that breath is.
