6. Abandoned floors
Okiasuke, when this name, which had disappeared for so long, came to my mind again, I was at a loss.
"Have you investigated the origin of the package?" Suddenly the old man asked.
"Nope!" When I was surfing the Internet before, I just went to look up the travel agency in Xianyang, and completely forgot the source of the package.
"That's it, tomorrow you contact the fat man, don't call him and send him a text message, tell him that we don't need the house for the time being, and if you look for us, go to Xianyang."
"You want to lure the fat guy out? That's not good, maybe he's his own business. "I immediately saw the old man's thoughts, needless to say, the fat man could quickly read the meaning of this passage, but what would the fat man do at that time?
"Don't worry about him, so my friends have a little relationship abroad, you give me the courier's phone number and I'll track it down, as for you, you go to Xianyang, if you're lucky, the fat man will meet you." I actually had another idea in that text message. The old man smiled mysteriously and whispered beside me.
The next day, the old man and I went to different places.
Two days I followed a black car crash to Xianyang, to Xianyang I first came to Qianxian, on the way to check the entire Xianyang large and small tourism companies there are more than 80, and most of them are distributed in Qianxian, now my task is to ask some of the bankrupt travel companies from most of them, and the house is still abandoned, headache! My initial idea was to find a clue from the photo, after all, the person sent me the photo to find it, but I was annoyed that I didn't know what the person was trying to say when I looked at it.
I asked some people, and they looked at my photos and said that judging from the exposure of the photos, this place is a very dark place and there are not many light sources, or there are not many scattered light sources, which means that there is only one light in the room where Asuke is. And judging from the brightness and darkness of the photo, the light in this room should be directly above the relatively tall stool, as for the height, it is estimated to be at least about 3 meters, and below 2.5 meters it feels depressing, and above 2.7 meters, the floor building is not allowed, it is too high and not easy to keep warm, and it feels cold under the feet in winter.
But this one is different, according to the photographer's inference, the height of this floor is at least four meters, four meters! How much this height has exceeded. I sat in the hotel to check the information that could not correspond, and found that there was still no clue, the next day I got up early in the morning, I took advantage of the time to eat breakfast in the county town around, I found that there were a lot of people coming out of some black hotels one after another, and then got on the bus one after another. Like this place is a tourist mecca, needless to say, the black hotel is also a big push, and those people are also relatively poor and like to travel people, so they chose this kind of second, and then make do with the overnight to play the next day.
Most of these people are students, and they came here without planning the tourist route, and when they saw the tour groups that had been connected with the black hotel, they signed up directly.
"By the way, these people may know something, after all, these hotels will be connected to various travel agencies." I looked at the sign in front of the hotel and muttered.
After eating breakfast, I walked around the county and came to a hotel, at 9 o'clock the doorkeepers had woken up, I walked over and didn't say much nonsense, and threw 100 yuan to him, "Ask you something, and there are 100 after speaking." ”
"You say." The man took the money and unceremoniously brought me a stool at random, his place was not a hot business in the morning, so he didn't worry about anything, handed me a cigarette and said slowly.
"How many tour companies are there around here?"
"Boss, you're cheating on me, how do I know about this big and small!"
"Of course I didn't tell you to tell me one by one, you want to say that I didn't have time to listen to it at that time."
"Oh well! There are probably only about 10 of them, and many of them are bankrupt. ”
"Bankrupt? This place is very good for tourism, how can it go bankrupt? It can't be that the location is not good! I laughed. Immediately led the topic away.
"That's right." He saw that I had not lit my cigarette and took out a bottle of Red Bull from the cook, and it seemed that he was a person who often stayed up late.
"There is no other factor?" I tried to ask.
"Yes, there is one, but it is not a company that has collapsed, but an entire building."
"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
"Oh, it's nothing, the whole house in that place was only 3 floors when it was done, and in order to place the goods, so they expanded the space and tried to base the height of the single floor to about 4 meters, so that the goods were stacked more, but the warehouse company closed down a few years ago, and the building became an office building, which was bought by a big boss, and through some means, another 3 floors were added to it."
As soon as I heard this, I immediately knew that that place might be the place I was looking for, so I took a sip of Red Bull and continued to investigate, "Doesn't it mean that the height of a single floor is better than three meters?" And in this case, can a 6-story building be supported? ”
"So that's it!" The man smiled wryly, "The first travel company we worked with when we first opened the hotel was there, but in the second year after the floor was added, cracks appeared in the building, and the cracks became larger and larger, and finally those people had to move out of the office building." However, it stands to reason that the office building was to be demolished, but the owner there disappeared after the accident, so the building has always been there. ”
"So that travel company went bankrupt too?" I asked.
"That's right."
I thought about it for a while, there was a travel company, and it was an abandoned building, and even the height of the building was in line with the environment in the photo. I asked about the location of the building, and I sent an MMS message to the fat man on my phone, giving him a photo and an overview of what happened. Then I came to the abandoned high-rise building in the north of the city, which was already bleak and surrounded by walls on both sides, but it was surrounded by residents' houses in front and behind. Some people around me told me that this is the middle of two real estate projects, and that those real estate companies have fenced off this place, so that one day this place can be demolished and the site can be grabbed as soon as possible.
I smiled, the world is so big, it's really amazing! As the man said, the height of the lower 3 floors was enough to reach the 5 floors of the opposite building, which was ridiculously high from a mechanical point of view, and I circled around it and found that the residential building in front of the office building was 15 stories high, but the back was only 8 floors. In addition, if you want to enter through the residential building, you can only jump out through the window of the first-floor resident, but fortunately there are small doors on the left and right sides of the wall, but they are locked.
And although it is not a disturbance here, there are many vehicles coming and going, so it seems that you can only start at night. After lunch, I bought some tools at the hardware store and hurried back to the hotel.
2 a.m.
At this time, there was no one on the street, I took a big hammer and slowly walked outside the fence to open the iron gate, just walked in and found that it was almost all weeds, because there was no one to manage them for a long time, so they were growing almost unscrupulously, I came to the door and looked at the door between the pillars only to find that it was actually locked by iron chains.
I was stunned for a moment, how could it be, the door was locked? So how did Asuke get in? I put down my hammer and wanted to walk to the side of the building, where it wasn't very cold at night, so I was wearing short sleeves, so that when the thatch was blowing, I always felt someone under me grabbing me with my fingernails.
At night, there was no light, the pale moon hung overhead, the thatch was the sound of some crickets, and the tall trees rustled in the wind. I felt an inexplicable chill at this time, as if someone was watching me somewhere on the floor, tightened my shirt, and I continued to walk forward, but soon I found that one side of the place was erected by someone with a staircase and a circle of scaffolding, probably left by some construction workers, but just as I could climb along those things to the second floor, the wooden ladder did not know how much wind and rain it had stepped on and only felt crumbling, I climbed to the second floor, and moved along the wooden board little by little to the window, It was a toilet and the windows weren't very big, so I just committed myself to squeezing in.
It's dark and very dark inside. The pipes in the toilet seemed to be leaking a bit, and I jumped in and heard the ticking sound keep ringing. I pushed open the toilet and the crunching sound startled me, patting my little chest I looked around, this is a hallway, there are many doors on the opposite side of the hallway, some doors are open and some are closed, I turned around and walked in the direction of the stairs, but I didn't take two steps to find that it was a mess, some goods of wood boxes and bookcases were scattered everywhere.
I walked a distance sideways and found that the aisle in front of me was blocked. The darkness is still dark, the light of the flashlight seems to be absorbed, I am at a loss in the middle of these boxes, go back but unwilling, I immediately walked to a room, but the door of this room was actually locked, I twisted the handle and there was no movement, but fortunately there was a house behind me, but there was a smell in this house.
I had no choice but to walk into a room This room seems to be a living room-like place, but now it is full of devastation, there are instant noodles and lunch boxes, and the tables and stools have been overturned elsewhere, but fortunately I found that this room is a double-door room, I walked around the debris in the aisle, and came to the other side, the same aisle here is much cleaner, as if it has passed through a world, but at this time, suddenly the sound of a box behind me sounded.
There was a quiet patch in the darkness, and I could catch it at once, but what was the matter with that box? I tried to take a few steps back, and suddenly I saw a figure floating in the middle of the obstructions, and as soon as my heart jumped, I immediately turned my head and ran frantically to the aisle in front of me, "There are people, there are really people here." I kept saying to myself. (To be continued.) )
