The gate of 'Shengguang Machinery' was being renovated, and several construction workers were busy laying bricks. Officer Gong from the countryside left the factory gate on his bicycle and bumped into a family attending a funeral.
Orphans and widowed mothers were wearing mourning clothes and holding coffins as they wept through the streets. A lot of paper money was scattered on both sides of the road, attracting people to watch along the way.
"Who died?" A foreign construction worker grabbed a trowel and looked at the funeral procession in confusion, "Why are there two coffins?"
"It's the father and son from the township joint defense team who died." Officer Gong replied in a low voice. Feeling that he was talking too much, he hurriedly rode away. When he had nothing to do at the township government, he liked to visit Shengguang Machinery.
'Run, basically acting as Zhou Qingfeng's secretary.
"Both father and son are dead?" The foreign construction worker was even more surprised, "How did they die?"
When the questions were not answered, Director Gong had already left quickly and had to go to the county for a trip. He was thinking about a question recently, whether to resign from the village and apply for a job at "Shengguang Machinery" to specialize in public relations.
As for the funeral procession from the factory gate, Director Gong did not dare to say anything. He ran here and there and was well-informed. He knew that many people had died in the countryside in the past two or three months. More than a dozen lives were lost at the last word, and they all died.
Accident.
Some drank fake wine, some suffered sudden cerebral congestion, and some accidentally fell into a ditch while walking and drowned. As for why a shallow ditch could drown a joint defense captain who had lived in the countryside for decades? I don’t know, I dare not say.
The captain of the joint defense team drowned, and his son became angry and cursed, saying that someone in the village had deliberately murdered him and that he had to go to the county to file a complaint and that he must be brought down. As a result, that night, the captain's son also drowned in the same ditch, exactly the same.
Way to die.
When the news spread, no one sympathized, only silence. Two coffins were carried in front of the factory gate. This was the only dissatisfaction and vent left by the family of the deceased. But for this matter, everyone secretly clapped their hands and applauded, but in their hearts they were like mirrors.
of.
There are too many domineering people in the countryside. It's just that someone who was ruthless in the past met someone who is even more ruthless.
Director Gong only heard that the joint defense team had caused trouble with the 'Holy Light Machinery'. The captain, who had been working for more than ten years, sent someone to send a message - if his son was not allowed to receive a free salary, the factory would never continue to operate. No one would ask for mercy.
It works, only his words can work.
So the day after the message was sent, the person died.
The township joint defense team was not the first to send someone to send a message, nor was it the first to die in an accident. If Officer Gong had more information, he would know that there have been quite a few personal accidents in the Tianyang area recently.
There are high-ranking figures in the city who died of overwork-related illnesses due to their busy schedules, and a memorial service was held. Some of the clerks who were accustomed to taking cards suddenly suffered a stroke, their mouth and nose were crooked, and they could not take care of themselves, so they had to retire.
, need organizational care.
It is difficult to count how many accidents there are, and no one can count them. However, after accidents, there is often a banquet in the rivers and seas, and the world is peaceful. There are far fewer people eating vegetarian meals, and the common people feel happy and praise God for opening his eyes.
The funeral procession passed through the streets, and the cleaners from the factory came out to clean up the scattered paper money. After sweeping it, they dumped it into the garbage pile, and it was as if nothing had happened on the street. The people were doing whatever they were supposed to do, talking and laughing freely.
, seems to have no impact.
The township health clinic is right on the street. Doctor Yu stood on the roadside and sighed at the funeral procession that was leaving. Fighting is common in the township, and there are many people who do evil. Some people are used to being kings and hegemons, thinking that anyone can do it.
Provoked, so he kicked the iron plate.
A few neighbors on the street came out to murmur and asked Dr. Yu with a smile, "How did the father and son die? Is there any inside story?"
"How do I know what's going on?" Doctor Yu exclaimed, lowering his tone, "They say he drowned, so don't talk nonsense behind his back."
"You're just lying." Several neighbors curled their lips in disbelief and continued to ask, "Didn't I ask you to do an autopsy? Didn't you find anything?"
Dr. Yu was even more shocked, "I was called for emergency treatment. When the body arrived, it was hard, so I filled out a death report and estimated the time of death. Both father and son drank alcohol and fell into a ditch in the middle of the night.
There are signs of drowning all over, nothing special."
The neighbors still shook their heads and continued to ask: "Could it be that kid who did it?"
Dr. Yu's face fell, "Do you want to die? You can't talk blindly. On the two nights of the accident, that guy had alibi. He was either working overtime with dozens of workers in the factory, or he was holding night classes at the elementary school.
training.”
The neighbors laughed now, "Doctor Yu, look how anxious you are. We didn't say who it was? You said it first. There must be something behind this matter, otherwise how could the father and son of the joint defense team have died two days ago?"
The same place?"
Doctor Yu was really angry and cursed fiercely: "Can't you control your mouth? If you have the guts to yell loudly, go to that kid and yell. See if he will be merciful and push you into that basin.
Go into a big ditch and puddle?"
Several neighbors didn't dare to speak and dispersed. Doctor Yu sighed and didn't know what to think - this accident happened so strangely that it made people feel scared. The biggest suspect has been appearing in public all this time.
Even more frightening.
That boy has always been known as a fool with a lot of money. It seems that anyone can come up and collect a piece of wool, and he is very happy. But now that he has collected the wool, he realizes that there is probably a ferocious hungry wolf under the sheepskin.
It is impossible to say that everyone is not shocked.
Dr. Yu severely reprimanded his neighbors for their "rumors," but he was worried. He sat in the clinic for a long time, and in the afternoon he heard a voice outside shouting, "Doctor Yu."
Doctor Yu was startled. Zhou Qingfeng walked in from outside and smiled at him: "Do you have any cotton gauze in the hygiene department? I want to buy some."
"Cotton gauze? There are some." Doctor Yu quickly got up and helped Zhou Qingfeng look for it, and pulled out a large bag. Zhou Qingfeng paid for it, but he quickly stopped him and said: "Forget it, forget it, no need for money."
"How about that?" Zhou Qingfeng still wanted to pay the bill.
Doctor Yu said carefully and awkwardly: "Xiao Zhou, you see, I have taken a lot of advantage from you in the past two or three months. You must have lost money on bicycles, watches, radios, etc. How about I give you some money?"
Will you make up the money?"
"Why do you want to make up for it?" Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand, "I don't lose anything."
"You see... there have been a lot of deaths in the countryside recently. I have something in my heart..." Doctor Yu rubbed his hands, but did not dare to continue.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't seem to understand, "Oh, what's a reasonable and legal transaction? If I have any trouble in the future, I have to ask Doctor Yu for help.
As for the recent deaths, I also feel that something is strange. It may be that some people have done too many bad things and encounter ghosts when they go out. What does it have to do with me? I won’t say much, I have a date tonight and I’m leaving."
After the young man left, Dr. Yu felt relieved and felt much more relaxed. Several neighbors outside the health center poked their heads in the air and asked from a distance: "Lao Yu, what did you say to that boy?"
Dr. Yu was relieved, but when he saw these neighbors, he became angry and shouted angrily: "You are spreading rumors and making people panic. Those bastards who died must have done too many bad things and met ghosts. Isn't this normal?"
At this moment, in the old factory building of 'Holy Light Machinery', in a reverberatory furnace used for smelting metal, platinum bars are melting at a high temperature of two thousand degrees. On the electric furnace next to it, the 'Destroy Evil' epee is heated until it turns red.
