Chapter 14: Strange Things in the Manor

Ma Shihao shook his head, put his hands behind his back and said: "Now is not as good as in the early years, it would be good if the original commercial blocks in the city were renovated and expanded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info But now, not to mention how many times the land in the city has been doubled, the demolition money for those residents alone is an astronomical amount, not to mention the complicated conditions in the old city, and there are many disturbances, so it is really not a cost-effective deal now. ā€

Ma Shihao glanced at the edamame and found that the other party blinked and seemed to be listening very seriously, so he continued: "So, instead of spending money and time to rebuild on the original foundation, it is better to find a new place to build a new CBD, which is why many cities are now advocating the gradual transfer of urban centers." ā€

Ma Shihao said that a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his voice suddenly raised a little and said: "And the land under our feet is the central business district in the future planning of Jiangcheng City!" ā€

"With the relationship I have built over the years, I finally heard the news in advance, and I got one-third of the land in the entire business district! But such a large piece of land is not so easy to swallow, and I basically staked all of the Ma consortium on it! Ma Shihao was a little excited when he talked about this, waved his hand vigorously, looked at the edamame and said, "But Xiao Mao, I'll tell you!" Five years, five years at most! This land under your feet will multiply tenfold! Even a hundredfold! ā€

Edamame's brain hurt a little when he heard it, he really didn't feel interested in these things at all, money, just enough, isn't it tiring to live so desperately.

patting his head, he sighed and said, "Old man, why are you just talking about me, I really don't understand what you said." ā€

Ma Shihao looked at Edamame's indifferent look, and suddenly felt that his enthusiasm seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water......

Sighing slightly, Ma Shihao rubbed his brows, paused before he continued: "I called you here because of this manor, although this place is not big, but in the future on the planning map, it is the most prime location, I originally planned to build a high-end office building here, but just started to clean up the grove behind something." ā€

Seeing Ma Shihao say this, Edamame walked out of the small building, and followed, and the two came to the cleared open space behind the building, where many branches and shrubs were piled up messily.

"That's it!" Ma Shihao pointed to the center of the clearing from afar, reluctant to come closer.

"At that time, two workers were clearing the woods, and they were doing a good job, but suddenly one of them seemed to go crazy, picked up the chainsaw that sawed the tree and slashed it indiscriminately, and before the worker next to him could react, one arm was gone......"

"At first, we thought that there was some conflict between them, but after learning about it later, the other workers said that the two came out to work in the same place, and their relationship is like that of brothers, so there will never be such a big conflict."

And the one who hurt the person said in the bureau that when the incident happened, he only remembered that he was still sawing the tree a moment ago, but at the moment when the tree fell, he suddenly felt shaken, and when he came to his senses, the person next to him had already fallen to the ground. No matter how the police interrogated him later, he insisted that he really didn't know anything......"

Ma Shihao shook his head, sighed and said: "But this matter has been conclusively proven, and there were many workers next to him who witnessed what happened, even if he refused to admit it, I am afraid it will not affect the final sentencing." It's just that this incident is indeed a bit strange, and it has also caused some bad effects among the workers, so please take a look. ā€

Edamame was silent during Ma Shihao's narration, and only when he finished speaking did he frown, walked to the center of the clearing, and looked at a stump on the ground, the fracture was still very new, it should have just been sawn off, but the stump was dark and dry, and there were a lot of blood stains scattered on the soil clods on the ground around him.

Ma Shihao saw Edamame walk into the clearing, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he hesitated and walked in.

"Old man, this tree should be a dead tree before it was sawed down, right?" Edamame squatted on the ground and looked at it for a long time, then looked up and asked.

Ma Shihao spread his hands and said that he didn't know. As the chairman of the Ma consortium, he sits in the top-level office on weekdays, where will he appear on the scene.

If it weren't for the importance of this manor, even if something happened, it would be handled by the people below, and there would be no need for him to come forward in person.

"I don't know much about this, you look at the sawn-down trees around, because the police haven't closed the case yet, these trees haven't been transported yet, and this one should be in there." Ma Shihao looked around, then pointed to a pile of trees not far away.

Edamame stood up and was just about to pass, but suddenly he felt something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the forest next to him, the forest was full of large trees that covered the sky and the sun, even if it was daylight, the sunlight could only illuminate a small part of the outer part of the forest, and then there was a thick and faint darkness.

Edamame vaguely felt that in this thick darkness, behind some bush or shrub, something was peeking at him, and he felt a trace of fear in his heart for no reason.

But his eyes searched the woods carefully for a long time, but still found nothing.

"What's wrong?" Ma Shihao saw Edamame looking into the woods with a vigilant face, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Hearing this, Edamame shook his head slightly, glanced at Ma Shihao, who was a little stiff, and did not speak.

Raise your feet and continue to walk to the pile of tree trunks that were stacked together not far away, because the clearing had not been cleared much, and there were only seven or eight tree trunks in this pile, and it didn't take much effort for Edamame to find a dry old tree in it.

The trunk of this old tree is not thick, about the appearance of a person's arms, it seems to have been struck by lightning, some of the branches at the top have some traces of charring and carbonization, most of the bark is gone, revealing the dark and dry trunk inside, there is a tree hole near the bottom of the old tree, the hole is not big, about the size of two fists, and there are some traces like animal claw marks around.

Edamame reached out and probed inside, and found that the hole in the tree was very deep, and he dug into it for a long time, and found something like animal hair.

As soon as Edamame leaned up to his nose and sniffed, he rolled his eyes at the smoke, quickly covered his nose with his other hand, and threw the clump of hair away with spit.

Ma Shihao was confused on the side, and didn't understand what Edamame was doing, but before he could ask, Edamame raised his head and looked at him with a somewhat serious face and asked.

"Old man, I'm afraid that what happened to you is much more than what you just said."

Ma Shihao's face changed slightly, he glanced at Edamame deeply, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, the incident just now is really not a big deal, there are so many construction sites under our company, thousands of workers, and there are not a few things in a year, as long as the cause is found out afterwards, how to deal with it, and deal with it." ā€

Ma Shihao paused after speaking, and his tone began to become a little unnatural.

"But there is something different about this manor, and what happens always makes people feel a little ...... Scary! First, the old man in charge of the vigil said that this was ...... Haunted in the middle of the night, I ran away in a panic before I even paid my salary. Then I cleaned up the things in the building a few days ago, and all of them had been moved out and piled up in the parking lot the day before, and I was waiting to be transported away early the next morning, but the next morning the person who pulled the goods came to take a look, and those things were moved back to the building overnight without knowing who had moved them back to the building, and they were all put back in place one by one. ā€

Ma Shihao swallowed his saliva when he said this, and continued: "There is also a few days ago that a worker was about to tear down the gate of the small building, but as soon as he moved the tools, he was smashed by a brick that fell out of nowhere. ā€

Edamame's eyes narrowed slightly, and the more he listened, the more his brows wrinkled, and only after Ma Shihao finished speaking, did he say in a low voice: "If my guess is right, in fact, although you found it a little strange here at the beginning, there was nothing serious, and it wasn't until you really started demolishing buildings and cutting down trees that those hurting incidents happened, and they got more and more serious in the back, right?" ā€

"Yes!" Ma Shihao nodded quickly, looking at Edamame's eyes became eager, thinking that although the kid in front of him looked a little untidy, he didn't expect that he really had some ability.

"Little ...... Well, Master Mao, you can also see that because of these messy things, the workers are afraid to work now, and the construction period has been delayed for more than two months. Originally, according to the original plan, the site should have been leveled now, but it dragged on for so long, and now I can't enter the field with all the machinery outside, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are wasted in vain. ā€

The more Ma Shihao talked about it, the more ugly his face became, in fact, he didn't feel sorry for such a little money, and these hundreds of thousands were really nothing to him. But the high-end office building that will soon be built here means a very different thing to him.

When the central business district is established, this piece of land will be the prime location in the prime location, and his office building will definitely be the most sought-after and most expensive building in the entire CBD.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Ma Shihao attached great importance to this project, whether it was the specific construction design or the start and completion time, it was carefully designed by the elite team of the Ma Foundation, and Ma Shihao also participated in the whole process as the chairman and devoted a lot of effort.

Therefore, he also knew very well in his heart that if the building was not completed by the planned time, the final loss would not be as simple as hundreds of thousands or millions.

Thinking of this, Ma Shihao settled down, looked at the edamame in front of him and said sincerely: "Master Mao, I know the custom of mentioning money, but as long as you can help me solve these things and let my workers get to work, I can try my best to meet you no matter what requirements you have!" ā€

If other people heard that the richest man in Jiangcheng City and the chairman of the Ma consortium said this to themselves, it is estimated that they would immediately faint with happiness.

But Edamame only hesitated slightly, then shook his head very decisively, and said in a low voice: "Old man, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really that the things you encountered this time are not easy to provoke, I advise you not to move this place, or sooner or later there will be a big incident, if you want to open some, just ...... Give up your wealth to avoid disaster. ā€
