Seeing that the vice president's attitude had improved, Hu Zongren and I also sat down, after all, things still have to be done, and money has to be earned. After seeing us sit down, the vice president picked up the phone and called his driver, who had just sent us over, and asked him to bring a small stool and put it in front of us, followed by an ashtray and two glasses of water. Hu Zongren waited until the driver closed the door and left, and then asked the vice president, "Teacher, what do you call it?" The vice president said his surname was Zhang, so we called him Mr. Zhang ever since. Hu Zongren said to Mr. Zhang, what happened to you now, let's hear it.

Mr. Zhang said that the matter started almost half a month ago, and the cause of the incident was because we were complained by the residents of the surrounding villages during the night construction process, saying that we disturbed the people, dredged up all aspects of the relationship and could not get the approval to continue the construction at night, so we were forced to leave only the patrol security guards at night, and the workers all rested. Hu Zongren said, you should have stopped the night construction disturbing the people, what's so strange about this. Mr. Zhang said that just one night more than half a month ago, we caught a thief on the construction site, and he came to the construction site during the day, and was going to stay until night to steal the scaffolding steel pipes and other things we stacked together to sell for money. When we caught him, we found him seriously injured and unconscious.

Mr. Zhang said that because the things found in the thief's bag proved that he was here to steal, and there were workers on the construction site who saw him in our yard during the day, although he was the injured party, we did not have the right to punish the thief privately after all, and he was seriously injured, so we still sent someone to send him to the hospital for first aid, and then notified the police to investigate. Hu Zongren asked, is it the injury caused by the collapse of the equipment in your venue? Mr. Zhang said that at first they also thought so, because the construction site is more messy everywhere. Sometimes there are a lot of things piled up and it is too late to clean up, and it is inevitable to encounter such problems, but the strange thing is that if the things that belong to us are overwhelmed because they are loose and overwhelming, in the night environment, our patrol officers should be able to easily detect the movement. can hurt people so badly, if you don't think about it, the sound will definitely not be small.

Mr. Zhang went on to say that he was already unconscious when he found the thief, and the place where he lay down was the elevator shaft we were erecting, and there were indeed a lot of discarded steel and iron scaffolding parts piled up outside, but they were not scattered, and there were no traces on the ground, but there were a lot of blood stains, and there were also on the wall. Except for that one place, we found fresh footprints of the thief when he committed the crime, but there was no blood in the vicinity, which means that the place where the fellow was injured was where he lay down, and if he had been hit by something, he could find some traces on the ground anyway, but the thief seemed to have fallen to the ground all of a sudden, and shed a lot of blood.

Hu Zongren asked Mr. Zhang if he dared to say, can you tell me more about what the thief's injuries were like at that time? Mr. Zhang said that there were a lot of scars on his arms, I don't know if the road was scraped by something or what, corresponding to these scars, the sleeves of the clothes are also damaged to varying degrees, there is a large piece of skin loss on the face when rubbing on the cement gray wall, and there are scratches on the face similar to the kind on the arm, after being sent to the hospital, the doctor said that the cause of his serious injury and excessive blood loss was not these, but a scar on the neck, but from the scar, it was a bite mark. So at that time, we analyzed that this thief might have an accomplice, and the two had an argument and fought for some reason, and then one of them bit his neck.

After glancing at Hu Zongren with some understanding, I asked Mr. Zhang, if it is a fight between two thieves and one person is seriously injured, why do you want to call us here? We can't do anything like that. Mr. Zhang stretched out his finger and tapped on the table a few times and said, this is just our initial judgment, because in the process of handling the case, the police only found one footprint at the scene, which was the thief's, and there were no other footprints. And you say that no matter how powerful a person is, he can't bite his own neck.

Mr. Zhang went on to say, so when the investigation ended in this place, it was basically stuck and could not continue, so the police said that our unit should be responsible for the medical treatment of the thief first, and try to interrogate them directly after waiting for people to wake up, since the doctor said that it was only a coma caused by excessive blood loss, and there would be no danger to life for the time being, and the police also said that as for the medical expenses, we need to pay in advance, and wait until the thief wakes up, clarify the responsibility relationship, and then talk about compensation. And the police also emphasized that whether this guy is a thief or not, after all, it was an accident on the construction site of our unit, so we also have some responsibility. Mr. Zhang said that the thief woke up after a few days, but he was a little incoherent, he seemed to be frightened by something, when the police interrogated, although he admitted that he came to our construction site to steal things that day, but said that he stole some materials that night and was ready to go downstairs to escape over the wall when the security guard was not paying attention, but when he was on the ground floor, he was attacked by a beast, and those juxtaposed claw marks on his body were left at that time, and the bite on his neck, I was also bitten by that beast.

Beast? Although this is close to the suburbs, it has been an area that has been developed for more than ten years, because there is an airport nearby, so there are no very high mountains and dense woods on this side, where is the beast? Besides, if you encounter this kind of beast attack, it is most likely to be a wild boar, but in addition to the wasteland in this vicinity, there is a newly built community, how can there be a wild boar? I expressed my doubts to Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang said, of course it will not be a wild boar, according to the thief's own recollections, he did not see clearly in the dark at that time, only saw a pair of green eyes in the dark environment, and from the roar of the beast that he would hear when he was injured, it could be judged that it was a wolf, or a dog.

Wolves are naturally impossible, within the scope of the main urban area of Chongqing, except for the zoo, there is no other place to see wolves, and there are many perverts. Then the most likely thing is the dog. So I asked Mr. Zhang, do you have a dog on the construction site? Mr. Zhang said, the blame is in this place, we don't have a dog on the construction site at all, and can hurt an adult into this virtue, presumably it is also a big dog, when we started construction at the beginning of the construction site, we only had a puppy to be tethered to the entrance and exit as a gatekeeper, but it has not continued to be raised for a long time.

Mr. Zhang said, so the thief's confession actually did not play a role in the detection of the case, but everyone thought that he was pretending to be crazy and stupid in order to shirk his responsibility, but because the stolen goods were obtained and the evidence of the crime was conclusive, but the construction site said that the person was also injured and the punishment was punished, so he did not plan to continue to investigate, so the police just remarked the case record of the thief after he was discharged from the hospital, and asked him to be found by the police at any time, and after being detained for a few days, it was over.

Mr. Zhang went on to say that although everyone thought that although there was no specific explanation for this strange thing, it would pass in the past, and life would have to be lived the same. But one day not long after that, about a week before Hu Zongren and I came to this place, one of the workers found that he had fallen in the place where the thief was first found when the rest of the workers went to work the next morning, and he was also unconscious, and he also had a wound on his neck, and his lips were sweaty, except that the injuries were not as serious as the previous thief, the injuries were almost the same, and judging from the things left at the scene, it was also because the worker sneaked into the building in the middle of the night to steal, On the way out, he was attacked by a beast. Mr. Zhang emphasized that this time we can be very accurate that it is an animal attack, because the entrance of the building because of the relationship between the previous wells, left a lot of small round pits for piling, in order to prevent the accident of falling, when we began to build the floor, we poured it with cement, and filled the ground, on the night of the accident, the cement on the ground was not dry, and when we found the injured worker, we found that he was lying on his side on the cement, and there were some messy footprints on the ground. It was as if there had been a clear struggle before the fall, and the most obvious evidence for this conclusion was that there were many messy animal footprints on the undried concrete floor of the site.

Mr. Zhang said that judging from the appearance of the footprints, it was a dog. Judging by its size, this dog is at least the size of a wolfdog. After he said this, Hu Zongren and I felt that it sounded more and more strange. Mr. Zhang went on to say that because the people on the construction site did not admit that they had dogs, and the dogs of this size could not be hidden in this place with many workers, at first everyone speculated that it was a mad dog that ran in from outside, so they also put rat poison and traps, and after a few days, the traps were all closed but did not catch anything, and the rat poison in the corner of the ground was useful, and the medicine killed a lot of rats, but no one had seen the trace of a dog.

Just two days before we came, there was another accident at the construction site, a worker in charge of the building said that his safety rope or hammer or something had been forgotten on a certain floor when he got off work, so he thought about it after dinner and planned to go upstairs to get it. Two people have been injured here in a row before, so this worker is still very careful, when he took his things downstairs and came back, he encountered a big black shadow at the entrance of the building, the edge of the black shadow's body outline emitted something similar to black smoke, it looks like a big dog, but there is a pair of green and fierce eyes, when the black shadow pounced, the worker began to shout loudly, because the time was not very late, many workers have not rested, after hearing the cry for help, They rushed over, and in full view of everyone, they also saw this huge black dog. At first, they didn't think much of it, but tried to subdue the vicious dog, but as they gathered around, the dog suddenly roared violently, and then disappeared as if smoke had cleared.

Mr. Zhang tapped his finger on the table again and said, "That's why we invited the two of you for something."
