Chapter 263 Chapter 263
"This is the park where I rested the first night after entering Luzhou." Ji Yuanhua said, pointing to the park in front.
The park is very small, a small triangle area in the middle of three roads. Usually only people living in the nearby communities come here to stroll and rest. However, now it is empty. Apparently, the news of the headless body being found here has spread, and many people are avoiding this place.
"There's nothing here, just keep going forward." Qingtong said.
Following the path that Ji Yuanhua had taken, we came to a narrow path that was only wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side. Several people on electric bicycles were passing through here in a line.
"You are amazing. You can find such a narrow road." Huang Tianzhen looked at the two walls that were very close to each other. "If the handlebars tilt by accident, won't you hit the wall?"
"We went this way... because there are fewer people." Ji Yuanhua muttered quietly, "I couldn't find the toilet."
Huang Tianzhen: ... grass.
Han Qi rolled his eyes and urged his rider to ride faster. He felt the air here was bad.
After exiting the alley and walking around for a long time, Ji Yuanhua suddenly stopped when he reached the edge of the city.
"What's wrong?" Su Sanan asked.
Ji Yuanhua said nothing, but just turned his head and looked to the left.
Several people followed his gaze and saw several dilapidated buildings.
The unfinished buildings are something that should not exist, but are widely found in many cities. Due to various reasons, the construction of the houses is stopped halfway through, and the developers run away, leaving a group of owners who bought the houses and still have loans, with nowhere to turn to.
"I know that place," said Gong Qian, a local. "It's one of the unfinished buildings in Luzhou. When it was first sold, the advertisements were very popular, claiming that a school would be built nearby and that the developer would buy nearby land to build a business district in the future. The house prices here would get higher and higher in the future. They also said that many people had reserved houses and that if you didn't buy now, you would not be able to buy one, or the price would go up. Many people were tempted and paid for the houses.
Then the house only had a main cement structure, but they stopped working on it. The owner saw that the delivery of the house would be delayed, so he went to find the developer, only to find that the developer had run away. In fact, the developer had no intention of completing the construction and handing over the house, but just wanted to make a quick buck and run away. This building was destined to be a mess when it was built, and the school established it and used the land as a commercial district, which was all a lie. "
Han Qi, who had never been beaten before entering society, was stunned for a moment: "How can this be possible? Isn't this a fraud?"
"Without evidence, it's not fraud." Gong Qian said, "There are a lot of loopholes in the sale of pre-sale properties. In the end, the developer makes money, and the bank won't care as long as it can still receive the loan repayment money. The only ones who suffer are the home buyers. The reason why there are so many unfinished buildings is that the consequences of unfinished buildings are very minor, and some things can be pretended to be 'helpless'. As for unscrupulous businessmen, they will do anything to make money, even if it means risking being strangled to death, let alone selling an unfinished building."
“But for the homebuyer, it would be a huge disaster.” Qingtong said as he looked at the unfinished building in the distance.
Gong Qian: "Not only that, someone died in this unfinished building."
Han Qi: “Ah?”
For developers who are extremely rich, hundreds of thousands of dollars may only be a necklace, two bags, or three pairs of shoes for their wives or lovers. But for homeowners who borrow money to buy houses, that is half a lifetime. There are always people who have a bad life and their only hope is to have their own house to live in, but are forced by unscrupulous developers to jump off the unfinished building.
Some people advise that it is just a house, life is not important, there is always a future. But if life is not too painful, who would really want to die? No one knows how heavy the burden is on others and how much strength they have unless they experience it themselves.
"Someone... died there?" Ji Yuanhua looked even more shocked than Han Qi.
Gong Qian: "Didn't you know about it before you saw it?" He paused for a moment and realized what was going on: "You've been there?"
Ji Yuanhua shrunk his neck and nodded: "I've been there."
Because I want to eat something hot. When traveling, I bring a simple small pot and a long gas can. In the wild, you can light a fire as long as you take fire prevention measures. But in the city, you can't be so casual. If you light a fire on the street to cook, you will easily be taken away by the police. Fires are easy to catch in parks. Where else is there a more convenient place to light a fire and cook than in a deserted building?
There are walls to block the wind, and the surroundings are all cement. Even if you go to the yard, it is full of discarded rubble and soil. There is no greenery at all, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Ji Yuanhua not only had a hot lunch there, but also took a short nap because he felt a little sleepy.
Including the time spent cooking, he stayed there for less than three hours. After he got up, he didn't feel anything was wrong, so he rode away on his bike.
"That's probably where it is." Su Sanan said.
Places where strange things appear are mostly places where tragedies occur.
Qingtong: "Nine out of ten."
"Then... I won't go." Ji Yuanhua said with his head down.
"Wait at the door." Huang Tianzhen glanced at him, "We don't want to cause any trouble."
Gong Qian: "What about me?"
Huang Tianzhen looked at Qingtong.
"It's up to you." Qingtong said, "If you prefer to go to the weird response department, you can watch from a distance. If you don't want to, stay here."
After saying that, Qingtong left without waiting for him.
"Think about it carefully." Huang Tianzhen patted Gong Qian on the shoulder. "The Strange Response Department is not a good place to stay. The training is very hard, but if you are willing to come, you are welcome. It will be a great help to have a team member who can perform surgery in the future."
"We are a special team. He may be assigned to another team when he goes to the base for training." Su Sanan looked at Gong Qian, "If you don't like your current job so much, you can change to another one. But let me make it clear first, our profession is more dangerous than that of a doctor."
Han Qi nodded: "Hang your head on your belt."
"Stop chatting, the captain has run away."
"Wait for me!"
Gong Qian looked at the receding backs of the people and fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, on the other side.
In a luxurious villa in Lu City, a man lay on the ground like a turtle, motionless. The straw boy stepped on his head and listed his crimes: "Forcing people to move at low prices, threatening to "nail households", hiring killers to kill people, bribing relevant people to act as false witnesses..."
"Wow, another dark guy." Qin Xiaocao smiled and grabbed the man's hair and lifted him up to look at him at eye level. "There are many more things I'm too lazy to read. Hey, do you have anything to say?"
"...Money." The man with a bruised face and nose was coughing, blood foam coming out from the corner of his mouth. Qin Xiaocao pulled him a little away from her cheek with disgust.
"I'll give you money, a lot of money... let me go." The middle-aged man said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I can cooperate with you. I have connections. You see, I hired a killer to kill a family of five and nothing happened. I'm very smart... Also, I can contact people abroad. I'm very useful."
Qin Xiaocao looked at the man muttering indifferently, and he let go of her hand.
The middle-aged man fell to the ground with a thud.
"Yes, a family of five." Qin Xiaocao stepped on the man's back again. "Because they didn't want to move, the man took the lead and found other 'stubbers' who were unwilling to vacate the place at a low price. You stabbed him three times, tied him up with a rope and threw him into the river. The man's parents guessed the truth and asked you for justice, but you set fire to the old couple, the man's wife and children, and pretended it was an accident."
"I remember that child, he was just ten years old?" Qin Xiaocao said with a smile, "about the same age as the little leader."
The salvation system whispered in Qin Xiaocao's mind: "That... the host is already a college student."
Although Mang Tao's alias is a child, he is already an adult.
Even if we take the Mangtao vest as his real age, he is over a thousand years old.
Qin Xiaocao pretended not to hear.
"If the family left cleanly, there would be no victims to complain, that's what you thought, right?" Qin Xiaocao squatted down and looked at him, "But you have been much more honest in recent years. You just sold the unfinished building and ran away. You are quite smart. You are not the legal person in name of the company under your control."
If you are not a legal person, you do not need to bear legal responsibility.
"You... know a lot about human beings." The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaocao, "Are you interested in humans?"
Qin Xiaocao tilted her head and smiled sweetly: "Because the little leader is very interested in humans, I can only learn more about him."
"That……"
"But I have no interest in scum like you." Qin Xiaocao put her hand on the middle-aged man's head. "Your awakening ability to harden your skin can barely be used as a shield."
The middle-aged man realized what Qin Xiaocao was going to do, and he roared in fear: "No, don't, I'm useful, I have other uses! I..." However, before he could finish his words, his body gradually became stiff, his skin texture began to roughen, and the unique texture of straw appeared. His body began to shrink, and his eyes, which were wide open in fear, gradually turned into buttons, and finally a slightly round straw doll fell to the ground.
The doll is wearing a linen suit with a belt around its waist that even has a brand name logo on it, making it look very formal.
"Not bad." Qin Xiaocao picked up the straw doll from the ground and walked out of the room.
When I opened the door of the villa, I saw several people standing outside, all of them were neighbors.
The noise he made when he beat the man was too loud. Although the distance between the houses in the villa area was not small, it was not so loud that the door was kicked open and half of the wall collapsed. At this time, they looked at the new straw doll in Qin Xiaocao's hand, and immediately showed a frightened expression after they saw at a glance that it was the owner of this house.
Qin Xiaocao ignored them, holding the straw doll's hand and swinging it around, humming a tuneless tune, and looked very happy.
"It's time to go on the mission. Where is the next location~~"
"This..." The salvation system was a little hesitant.
The anomaly assigned to Qin Xiaocao to solve is a Class A mobile anomaly. Although it is said to be mobile, it can't actually move far. It has a certain range of activities, and this range does not include places where people gather. It is either undeveloped vacant land, roadside fields and rivers, or unfinished buildings.
And now, it is about to reach the final stage.
Instead of telling Qin Xiaocao the strange location, it should warn the host first! !
