After a hasty lunch, we searched the slopes below the mountain road and channel platform.

This is the dead end of the country road, and the road ends at Hewei Village, and the nearest village at the other end is fifteen kilometers away, and it is impossible for them to suddenly go crazy and go out without telling themselves. Because both of them drank a lot of alcohol last night, the biggest possibility is that they fell down the hill while climbing the mountain.

The workers who participated in the digging of the grave yesterday were also gathered, and I also asked each team to count their numbers, to say that someone murdered Lao Wan and Wang Dayou for that piece of jade, it is possible, but this is not something we can find out.

But the boss wouldn't let me call the police, and I didn't have much to do.

In the evening, Liu Gong, the owner's representative, also rushed down in a hurry, he may have talked to the boss on the phone, and asked me about the situation as soon as he got out of the car, but we searched the hillside carefully throughout the afternoon, not only did we not find anyone, but also found no suspicious traces.

Deng Cheng, who had the most divergent thinking, asked when there was no one else around: "Will someone kill them and find a place to bury them?" ”

Because I can't find anyone, I now think that this may be the most likely, but the most important thing on the construction site is all kinds of mounds of soil, the entire construction site excavation range is several kilometers, taking soil, discarding slag, everywhere is dug up in a mess, it is impossible to find it in a short time.

It is too dangerous to find someone on the mountain at night, after dark we let the workers go back to eat and rest, Lao Wan's wife and son were called by us to the project department at the foot of the mountain, and several foremen who drank with Lao Wan last night were also called down by me, and ate together and waited for the boss to come.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the boss arrived from the provincial capital.

He didn't ask anything as soon as he got out of the car, and immediately gathered everyone: "What's the situation now?" ”

We told him all the whole day of looking for someone, he didn't say anything, called Lao Wan's wife and son to another room to comfort him, and then came back.

He looked unhappy and forced his anger to ask, "Was there anything wrong before?" ”

Zhang Jingui looked at me and said, "Yesterday I heard that they dug up a tomb and got some treasures, I don't know if it has anything to do with this?" ”

The boss was stunned for a moment: "What kind of mess?" ”

I stubbornly told me what happened yesterday, and the boss immediately asked, "How many people saw that piece of jade at that time?" ”

I thought about it for a while: "Manager Wang, Lao Wan, the design senior engineer, the supervisor Zhang Gong and Deng Gong, me, and the fifteen workers. ”

The boss turned his head and asked Zhang Jingui again: "Did you see that piece of jade last night?" ”

Several people shook their heads and said they didn't see it, saying that when they were halfway through the wine, they asked Lao Wan to take it out and open everyone's eyes, and he said that he was not there anymore.

Zhang Jingui said: "Will Lao Wan be sold to Manager Wang?" ”

This is very likely, maybe the two of them discussed the Jade Return King Dayou on the way back, so he turned back and bought Gao Yao and them.

The boss then asked, "What about the workers?" ”

"I searched for an afternoon and went back."

"!" The boss scolded again. "Zhang Jingui, you go up now, help me take care of everyone, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow morning!" Paralysis! One by one, I don't believe it and can't ask! ”

At this time, it was already past one o'clock, Zhang Jingui and the others all went back to the mountain, and only saw a string of flashlights dangling on the hillside in the distance.

I cleaned up Wang Dayou's room, there were two beds there, just enough for the boss and his driver to sleep in, but the boss gave it to Lao Wan's wife and son.

I had to give up my bed, but the boss, perhaps disgusted with the dirty, didn't go, but called me over again: "Did anything else happen while you were digging the grave?" ”

I remembered my hallucinations, but as a college student, I shook my head, "No." ”

The boss stared at me for a long time: "Okay, you go to sleep!" ”

As a result, before I finished washing my face, Zhang Jingui's phone rang again: "Four of the workers who participated in the digging of the grave that day are missing!" ”

The boss lost his temper again, and asked the little boss who was responsible for supplying sand and gravel to drive to the village in front of him to block people, and he called his acquaintances in the police system overnight.

At about nine o'clock, the policeman who the boss found through his relationship drove a police car down, and the little boss who was sent out to block people last night also came down, saying that no one had passed by all night, and another police car was set up in a farther township to block people, so he came back.

The policemen who came down looked very capable, there were four of them, one of them was said to be the deputy chief of the criminal investigation department of the county police department, the boss was looking for a relationship in the provincial capital and called him directly in the middle of the night last night to ask him to be in charge, he gathered us all together for questioning, and then went up the mountain together.

The exhumed grave was still there, but no one cared about it anymore, one of the policemen stayed behind to survey the scene, and the others went to the shed.

Lao Wan's team is not far from here, and the sheds are built on the slopes of the mountain at random, all of which are small shacks directly pulled up with colored plastic sheets, and the eleven workers are controlled by Zhang Jingui and others, and they are all locked up in a larger shack waiting for the police.

The chief of the criminal investigation section may be a little uncomfortable with such a venue, he looked around, and there was really no condition for individual interrogation, so he directly brought them up one by one and took them to the back of the hill for questioning.

He wouldn't let us go, so I waited with the boss, who looked at the workers majestically, and some of them cried in fear, but no one knew where the four men had gone, let alone where Wang Dayou and Lao Wan had gone.

One of the young workers cried and said, "My brother can't do this, he doesn't have the guts." Even if he had, he wouldn't have left me alone and run away with the others. ”

I think he has a point, but the boss doesn't pay attention to him at all.

The first worker to be brought back walked visibly with a limp, and the expression on his face was as if he had been beaten severely, but there was no injury on his face. The chief of the criminal investigation department pressed him to the ground and made him squat, and took the other person away.

The atmosphere became very dull, and the workers of other teams gathered nearby to watch the excitement, so the boss became angry and asked Zhang Jingui and them to take everyone to work.

The interrogation lasted for nearly three hours, and at noon Zhang Jingui asked his wife to cook and send it over, and we all squatted on the hillside to eat with a large porcelain bowl, and a crow kept perched on a nearby tree, unable to drive away.

The chief of the criminal investigation section looked very disdainful of the food on the construction site, but it took more than an hour to go down the mountain, and he was not hungry at that time, so he could only pinch his nose and eat. He said while eating: "Boss Xie, this matter may be in trouble." ”

The boss stood up: "Section Chief Wang, if you have any difficulties, just say it." Wang Dayou is my cousin-in-law, money is not a problem, as long as you can find someone, everything is easy to say! ”

Section Chief Wang shook his head: "It's not about money. ”

He gave a general account of the results of the interrogation and search. No one knew where the four missing workers had gone, nor did they know the whereabouts of Wang Dayou and Lao Wan. The four missing workers all disappeared at different times, from eleven o'clock to just after one o'clock, making it feel like they were walking together. And they didn't take anything, one didn't even take a watch or wallet. It stands to reason that if you are planning to kill someone for the sake of the baby and have to run, it is impossible to be in such a hurry.

Section Chief Wang continued: "We can't file a case if we don't see people alive or dead. Boss Xie, this matter is based on the face of the provincial city Zhou Bureau, I will definitely check it out for you, but you can also understand us, don't make it too ugly. ”

The boss nodded again and again: "I understand this!" ”

We were looking for clues in the mountains all afternoon, and Section Chief Wang sent a big fire, which means that we were unprofessional when we were looking for people, and there were footprints everywhere, and now we can't see anything. He called the county to bring all the dogs down, but it might not arrive until tomorrow morning.

The conditions on the mountain were too bad, so I had to go down the mountain to go back to the project department, and at this time the director of the supervision department also came, and was waiting for news with Liu Gong of the owner in the project. The boss made a large table of dishes, and several leaders drank some wine with the policemen, and Section Chief Wang was happy again. "The two police dogs in the county are the best police dogs in the distant mountains, very powerful! I'm sure I'll be able to find them tomorrow! ”

My bed was finally occupied, and I ended up squeezing with Gao Yao.

Because I haven't slept well for two whole nights, I am very sleepy, but I can't sleep at all when I sleep in bed, and I talk to Gao Yao about this incident without saying a word. He quickly fell asleep, but I was not drowsy at all by his snoring, and finally simply got up and played games on his computer.

About one o'clock, the surroundings suddenly became cold, I found a coat to put on, but I still felt cold, the unknown bird kept calling, and I was upset.

I opened the curtains to see where it was hiding every night, but it was pitch black and there was nothing outside.

It's not the kind of darkness that is used to describe it, but the darkness that really can't be seen in anything.

The street lights outside every night were extinguished, the lights in the duty room at the material warehouse were also extinguished, the moon and stars in the sky were gone, and the whole world seemed to be only black.

The feeling of soreness in my limbs suddenly appeared, as if something had burrowed into my body, gnawing at my body from deep in the bone marrow.

I wanted to scream, but I couldn't.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of me, and I looked up and saw that it was Gao Yao.

His eyes were rolling, only the whites of his eyes were exposed, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he slowly walked past me, and my heart was cold, and he reached out and unscrewed the door and walked out.

I can't describe the way he walked, his knees not bent, he walked straight and straight step by step, like a dummy made of paper.

I tried my best to wake him up, but by this time my body was so sore that I could barely make any movement, and I could only watch him walk into the darkness and suddenly disappear.

The feeling of rotting fingers crawling up my legs returned, and this time it wasn't just one place, countless corpses crawled up my feet, a dense and terrifying sensation that I could clearly feel even if I couldn't see them.

They burrowed into my clothes, clinging to my skin, and crawling up my face, step by step.

I couldn't do anything but look down with my eyes wide open, and their shadows crept up from my nose and cheeks, slowly crawling towards my eyes......
