Nov. 5, 6 p.m.

The construction site near Baihua Lane is brightly lit, although it is about to be dark, but the construction site is full of people coming and going, the sound of utensils colliding, the sound of command, and the roar of machines are endless, and the migrant workers have long been accustomed to staying up late and working overtime.

Although it was hard work, the scene was orderly, and everyone carried out the work at hand in an orderly manner. Outside the concrete building wrapped in a green safety net, the steel pipe scaffolding has been erected on the thirteenth floor, and the fourteenth floor is being erected.

"Yin Xiang, your scaffolding seems to be a little crooked?" Yin Runyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the steel pipe scaffolding for a long time, and then said to a young man next to him who was wearing a yellow hard hat and looked very young.

Yin Xiang was looking at his mobile phone, Wen Yan looked up at the scaffolding, and pouted: "It seems to be a little." ”

"Then remember to readjust it today, so as not to affect tomorrow's project." Yin Runyuan advised, "I'll go to dinner first, and I'll come for you later." ”

Yin Xiang hummed, put away his phone, and walked towards the scaffolding.

…

Seven.

The workers were still busy, and everyone was doing their job, occasionally making a joke or two. It seems that everything is normal.

Suddenly, there were several strange noises from the upper floors of the building. Then, everyone heard a loud bang, and it seemed that something had collapsed.

"Oops, the wall is down!" I don't know who roared, followed by a few sounds of stone breaking, and then a dozen booms, and a dozen loud bangs, as if some behemoth was bombarding the building with heavy fists, and the sound of devastating and decaying from top to bottom, from the center of the floor to the ground, like thunder, split everyone into the sky.

All of a sudden, the sky was full of dust, the sky was dark, the cries and screams and running were heard in all directions, and the whole construction site fell into chaos.

Yin Runyuan was coming back from outside, and he was so frightened by this scene that his face was bloodless, and he stayed where he was for a full five seconds before running over and shouting Yin Xiang's name. While helping to maintain order and evacuating the escaped workers, he kept looking around, looking for his younger brother.

"Lao Yin!" Hearing the call, Yin Runyuan quickly turned around, and a short and fat man coughed violently and ran out of the smoke, "Fuck, I don't know what's going on, the perforated plate was smashed!" Falling layer by layer from above, I don't know if I hit anyone. ”

Yin Runyuan grabbed him and patted him on the back, and hurriedly asked, "Did you see Yin Xiang?" ”

"No," the short and fat man shook his head, "no one cares about anyone in such a mess, but I didn't see him on the first floor anyway, so it should be fine!" He coughed a few more times before heading out.

Yin Runyuan looked at the building anxiously, he took out his mobile phone and called the person in charge of the construction site, and then he was busy picking up the rest of the workers who came out one after another, and asked for news from his younger brother.

Just as his heart was becoming more and more desperate, and he was about to collapse, he suddenly heard a familiar cry behind him.

"Brother!"

Yin Xiang walked in from outside the wall with a pale face. He put his phone in his pocket and stared at the dusty building with wide eyes as he dodged the crowd, "What's wrong?" ”

Yin Runyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly relaxed, "Where did you kid go?" I was crazy just now! He strode forward and punched Yin Xiang in the chest, "It's okay." ”

Yin Xiang's breathing became more and more rapid, "The scaffolding collapsed, did you hit anyone?" ”

"It's not clear yet, let's go and help count the number of people first!" Yin Runyuan pulled his younger brother and walked out.

Fortunately, after careful counting, all the workers escaped safely, and miraculously no one was injured. After investigation, the cause of the accident was the collapse of a newly built wall on the upper floor, which smashed the perforated slab of the floor inward, and the broken perforated slab fell down to the bottom layer by layer. But why the wall collapsed is not clear. The person in charge of the construction site was very angry and scolded all the migrant workers for two hours.

…

"According to you, it's the high-rise wall that collapsed, and then it smashed the perforated board, and the perforated board smashed through the floor. Nothing else? After listening to Yin Runyuan's narration, Luo Zhen looked at him with a frown.

"No, officer." Yin Runyuan nodded hurriedly, "That's it, no one was injured, and no one died." ”

"This is also a major safety incident, right?" Luo Zhen said, "I didn't even investigate the cause of the accident, and I just wanted to hide the situation from us." You don't do a good job of safety on the construction site! ”

Hearing this, Yin Runyuan hurriedly shook his head: "Officer, the security is in place, it's in place!" There's nothing to hide from you. ”

"Then why did the wall collapse?" Luo Zhen asked.

Yin Runyuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, and he couldn't speak clearly for a long time.

Luo Zhen thought for a while, and then asked, "Your brother Yin Xiang is the one who went crazy in the hospital that day, right?" ”

Yin Runyuan looked up at Luo Zhen suddenly, paused and nodded slightly.

"Why did he fall off the scaffolding the next morning and hurt his head, is there any safety problem with the scaffolding?" Luo Zhen looked directly at Yin Runyuan.

"No, officer, the scaffolding is fine." Yin Runyuan waved his hand again and again, "My brother was just frightened by the events of the first day. That kind of thing is really scary, and he's a newbie. I didn't sleep well the first night, and I started work early the next day, so I didn't pay attention to stepping on the air for a while and accidentally fell down. You see he's still lying in the intensive care unit, and I still haven't gotten together any money, officer! Yin Runyuan cried with a pitiful face.

Hearing this, Luo Zhen coughed twice and looked back at the door, and then asked Yin Runyuan in a low voice, "What's going on with that dream?" ”

Yin Runyuan was shocked when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Dream? How do you know...", his face filled with doubt.

Luo Zhen didn't speak, just looked at him seriously.

Yin Runyuan paused for a moment and replied in a low voice, "I don't know either." Anyway, on the night of the accident, several of our co-workers, including my brother and I, had that strange dream. But none of us understood what was going on. ”

"What that man looks like, what clothes he wears, what he does to you, you describe it to me." Luo Zhen said.

Yin Runyuan blinked his eyes and thought for a long time before he replied slowly: "He has his back on my back, so he can't see his face, his hair is a little gray, he should be a middle-aged man." Not too tall and a little fat, seems to be wearing a gray sweater and black cloth pants. He didn't do anything but stand, and then his head exploded with blood, and blood splattered everywhere. Officer, I can't really think of anything else. ”

The more he listened to him, the more surprised Luo Zhen's expression became. The man in Yin Yunyuan's account almost completely matched the deceased, he was not at the scene, and the case was kept secret, so it was impossible for him to know the deceased's appearance. It's all incredible.

"For now, let's do it first." Luo Zhen put away the recorder and stood up, "I'll go back first, and I'll come back later to investigate your construction site, verify your account today, and take other people's confessions." Remember to keep the phone open 24 hours a day, and your brother should notify me if there is any situation. ”

"Also.. Still want to investigate, police officer? Yin Runyuan watched Luo Zhen walk out of the door with a bewildered expression.

...

Finally sent the person in charge, Luo Zhen walked out of the construction site with a heavy heart. He had never believed in strange things, but now his mind was completely confused. How do you explain the situation to the captain?

He looked back at the construction site before getting into the car, and for some reason, he felt that the man's death had nothing to do with this place.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly, Luo Zhen pressed the answer button, and his girlfriend's familiar voice came from inside.

"My uncle is awake, come here."
