My name is Lin Xin, and I am a security guard at a real estate company. Unlike some people who like to work the day shift so that they can go home with their wives at night, I prefer to work the night shift.
Night shift is great, you can walk around a lot, then go back to the duty room to sleep, and you have plenty of time to go out and surf the Internet during the day.
But for some reason, lately in the middle of the night, there has always been movement in those abandoned demolished buildings, which are particularly conspicuous at night.
Special mention here, I was assigned to work as a security guard at a construction site, which is the kind of construction site that is about to be demolished and the entire community is surrounded by blue iron sheets. The demolition is done during the day and the work is suspended at night.
My task inside is very simple. During the day, workers dismantle the building, smash out the steel bars and put them together. At night, I just guard the steel bars and the gate.
It's just that it's been a little strange these past few days. In the middle of the night, there are movements coming from the buildings waiting for demolition. It sounds like someone is rummaging around inside.
What are you looking for? I can't think of anything.
You must know that in these residential buildings that are about to be demolished, the people inside have already moved out, and even the rags left behind have been specially cleaned up. Logically speaking, there should be only garbage in the building, and no one will be interested.
Night Shanghai, Night Shanghai, you are a city that never sleeps...
At midnight, Lin Xin was walking around the construction site with a flashlight. When he turned to Building 5, he heard faint music in his ears.
I took a flashlight and looked at the floor. It was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything.
"Who's inside?" Lin Xin took courage, took a flashlight, and walked towards the corridor entrance of the unit building.
"I!"
At the corner of the corridor on the first floor, a man wearing a safety helmet was squatting there not knowing what to do.
Lin Xin leaned against the door and looked inside with a flashlight. He was relieved when he saw that it was a living person.
"Don't let your mother shine on you. Even if you poop, it won't stop you!" When the light flickered, the worker blocked his eyes in dissatisfaction.
Lin Xin turned off the flashlight and walked out, muttering secretly: "Could it be that the noise I heard recently was caused by workers going to the toilet in the middle of the night? Hey, that's really possible.
I'm sorry, most likely I didn't bring any paper."
While thinking about it, Lin Xin gradually became less afraid.
What people fear is not darkness, but the unknown. When the unknown existence becomes known, we are no longer afraid.
I continued to patrol with a flashlight. Tianfu Community is an old community with a total of 32 unit buildings. The floors are not high. They are all six floors and the area is not small.
After walking for a few minutes, when they arrived at Building 16, Lin Xin took a second look at the floor.
The workers didn't know, but he knew very well that in order to start the demolition a few days ago, his boss had hired ruthless people, and it was said that he chopped off the heads of several nail households.
If he remembered correctly, the person who died in Building 16 was a man named Bai. The surname Bai was not common, and he still had some impression. The man's name seemed to be Bai Yiliang, which sounded like a termite.
Rustling...
Lin Xin was about to walk forward when he suddenly heard movement inside Building 16.
Taking a flashlight to take a picture, Lin Xin said boredly: "You people are so energetic. It doesn't take much trouble to build a toilet. You go to the floor every day to poop, and you are not afraid of stepping on it while working during the day?"
There was no answer, the rustling sound continued.
Lin Xin went up and listened. The sound seemed to come from the second floor, located at Unit 3, 204.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Xin took a few steps back and fired the electric light into the room on the second floor.
Still no one answered, and vaguely, a vague figure could be seen from the balcony on the second floor, bending over and looking for something on the ground.
"Looking for treasure?" Lin Xin was surprised. This guy didn't look like he was here to poop, but rather he was looking for treasure.
Lin Xin's eyes lit up when he thought of treasure hunting.
He also had many ideas about working in Fan's Real Estate, and he knew very well that the demolition work of real estate was actually a waste of time.
Demolition requires moving, and many people leave old tables, chairs, benches, bookcases and beds as rubbish.
Among these rubbish, people often find rings, hidden personal money, or some old objects that look inconspicuous but are actually very valuable.
During the day, the workers did not say anything when they saw these valuable things. They put the easy-to-handle items in their pockets, and the hard-to-handle items hid them and noted their locations. Then they came back to pick them up at night, and some of them made a fortune.
"What did you find?" Thinking of the possible treasure, Lin Xin became energetic.
The man on the second floor still didn't speak, he lowered his head and rummaged around on the ground.
After waiting for a minute and not getting an answer, Lin Xin couldn't sit still and walked upstairs with a flashlight.
Rustling...
Running up the corridor to the second floor, Lin Xin eagerly pushed the door open and soon saw a man on the balcony of the living room with his back turned to him, groping on the ground.
"Hey, what are you looking for?" Lin Xin stood at the door and turned on his flashlight. He found that the clothes on this man were very shabby. He didn't look like a worker, but like a homeless man.
"Looking for the head..."
The man lay on the ground and groped inch by inch. A lot of garbage was turned over and he searched carefully.
"Looking for the head?"
Lin Xin thought he hadn't heard clearly and asked doubtfully: "What head?"
"my head."
The man answered while searching, which made Lin Xin even more puzzled and asked strangely: "Isn't your head on top of your head?"
"No, this is not my head. I lost my head and I can't find it. I have to find my head quickly. This community is going to be demolished. I have to move. It's very troublesome to find it."
When the man said this, he stood up from the ground, turned his head 180 degrees, and asked: "Have you seen my head?"
scare...
Lin Xin's face turned pale in an instant. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the man's face had already rotted into a state of disgrace. Fat white maggots were crawling around on the man's face. As far as he could see,
This man's face was like briquettes, with maggot-gnawed holes everywhere.
"Oh my god!"
The flashlight was also lost, and the baby didn't dare to think about it anymore. Lin Xin ran away.
He ran back to his duty room in one breath and locked the door tightly, his legs still shaking uncontrollably.
"Friend, have you seen my head?"
The sudden words frightened Lin Xin into screaming.
He looked up in panic and saw a man in ragged clothes standing in front of the window. He was holding his head in one hand and holding a rusty ax with blood stains in the other. He whispered: "Give me your head back."
Me, give it back to me..."
...
“When I saw the headless man’s security guard, his name was Lin Xin, he was frightened out of his wits. Whatever I asked him, he always said don’t snatch my head, don’t snatch my head. He has gone crazy and is now locked up in a mental hospital.
After hearing Lin Xin's cry, several workers who lived at the construction site rushed over, and they also insisted that they had seen the headless man."
Standing at the entrance of Tianfu Community, the manager of Fan Real Estate introduced Wang Xu.
Wang Xu looked up at the community in front of him, nodded noncommittally, and asked, "Where's Mr. Fan? Why didn't he come?"
"Mr. Fan is sick, hehe, he is sick..." The manager smiled apologetically. He couldn't say that Mr. Fan was frightened and didn't dare to come over.
Wang Xu did not ask any more questions, lit a cigar for himself, and said: "Tianfu Community was established in 1986. At the beginning of the construction, a corpse was dug out from the ground. Whose body did it belong to? How did it come about?
Damn it, this has long been unverifiable.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the construction workers at that time did not care about the corpse and sealed him directly under the cement floor. In other words, the corpse sealed under the foundation of Building 16 was probably this headless body.
It's human. As for why he was headless, I don't know. Maybe during the construction, someone didn't like his head and kicked him somewhere else."
"Mr. Wang, can you solve it?" The manager looked frustrated and whispered: "If it doesn't work, we are thinking of a way."
"No problem. To me, this is just trivial. Just go back and tell Mr. Fan that I will take over the job and ask him to call his cousin immediately and help me with the purchase of the medicine garden."
Wang Xu is fearless. It is not difficult these days, but it is not difficult to master it. Isn't it just a headless corpse? How can it be hidden under his third eye?
"Okay, okay, Mr. Wang, I'll leave this place to you. I'll come back tomorrow." The manager left in a hurry. Soon, only Wang Xu was left at the door of Tianfu Community, and there was a ray of sunset that was about to set.
"Headless man, hum!" With a sneer on his face, Wang Xu pushed open the door of the construction site and stepped in.
