"Do you think the two are related?"
"Yeah, don't you think it's weird? There's something very wrong with this, right? There's more than one thing that's wrong! Old Liu's funeral is over, but the project has to continue, and someone has to step in. In the next one or two months, the original The houses were demolished, the ground was dug up, and the sewers were cleaned. It took a long time. The ground was all done and piling started. I remember... that was half a year later. When the sewers were being cleaned, someone I was sick, vomited, and fainted. The water company and the gas company came to cooperate, and they were all a bit unbearable. There were no cables at that time, and there were not as many underground cables as there are now. They were all telegraph poles, and wires were pulled on them. Clean up. Those telegraph poles were dropped, and someone got an electric shock. This kind of thing has happened endlessly for more than half a year. Our company didn't do this in construction before. Our company is here in Minqing, this is the best. They are all experienced Workers and on-site supervision are also very strict, but things happen one by one. No one is like Lao Liu, but if he is injured or the wires are messed up, the progress of the project will be affected."
"Have the workers ever said the reason?"
"There is no reason. This is evil! It seems evil when I think about it now. It seems that when people stand there, they easily get distracted and forget things. They are very mentally ill."
"Didn't your project team send someone to investigate in this regard? It may be that the residual garbage in the sewer pipes produced harmful gases... You just said that when the sewer pipes were being cleaned, someone was fainted. past."
"This... probably... we thought so at the time. But some of these things don't add up... It's just very wrong. There was an old worker... At the end of the day, they all ate and rested in the wooden hut, and we expressed our condolences. Then I heard them talking nonsense at night, and an old worker went to the toilet. There was an area designated next to the construction site. They agreed that the younger one would solve the problem there... He came back after going to the toilet, his face was white and his pants were all wet. I didn't fasten it properly, and said I saw someone, so I ran into the construction site. I remember this clearly. There were a lot of things piled up in the construction site, which hurt people, or someone stole or broke things, which was very troublesome. Construction sites are generally The iron gate is closed and there are people patrolling, so no one will sneak in normally. That night, look for someone with a flashlight."
"Who did the old worker see?"
"I don't know. He just said he saw a figure."
"Did you find that person that night?"
"No, I searched all night and found no one. I also checked and found that nothing is missing or broken. Do you think this is something evil?"
"Yeah. Besides that? Is there anything else?"
"The other thing is pretty much the same. Alas, things kept happening during that project anyway. Someone always bumped into it, something broke, and the progress was slowed down several times."
"That's it. Manager Hao, do you remember those workers at that time? We hope to interview them too."
"Well... there should be records in the file. It will record the construction team. There is a list of team members in the personnel department. This matter is quite troublesome to check... "
"This is going to trouble you a lot, Manager Hao."
"Oh... I can help a little."
"Thank you so much."
On August 30, 2001, Wang Li, a member of the construction team of the 1997 Tiexiang old district reconstruction project, was contacted. audio file.
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
"Hey, you don't have to be so polite... You guys, Manager Hao said, do you want to ask about the old Tiexiang area?"
"Yes. We have interviewed Manager Hao before, as well as several other workers who were in the construction team like you at the time."
"oh… "
"Mr. Wang, can you tell us about your memory of that construction? Did anything unusual happen during the construction process?"
"This..."
"Excuse me, is there any problem?"
"Oh, I'm not sure what you're asking. That construction was pretty ordinary. Those things."
"According to Manager Hao and several of your other workers, there were many minor accidents during the construction, and no one died, but the progress of the project was delayed several times..."
"It doesn't count. Actually... um..."
"Mr. Wang, you can rest assured that the contents of these interviews will not be completely public, and we will not reveal your identity. We will also interview many people in the future and compile them into reports."
"Maybe they remember it wrong? I have seniority in the Second Bureau of Urban Construction. Some things... Manager Hao was a secretary at the time. He had just joined the Second Bureau and worked with the leader. He was a little... ignorant... He had He was only brought in if he was related. So he might not be clear about some things. That project was a bit complicated. The person who conducted the on-site investigation, provided us with information, and arranged our construction plan was a new leader, who was the one that Manager Hao was following at the time. Leader. There is a lot involved in the project. The preparation work, deployment work, and construction plan at that time were not very detailed. During the actual construction, there were quite a lot of things. There were many novices in the construction team. During the expansion of the second game, the new people who had just been recruited were unfamiliar with this line of work and were very clumsy."
"So, any accidents that happen during the construction process are just accidents? So, have you heard about the origin of the name of the old Tiexiang District?"
"… this… "
"Can you tell us something, Mr. Wang?"
"You know the old district of Tiexiang..."
"We heard that during the construction of the old Tiexiang area, an underground ruins passage was dug out, and there were iron artifacts inside, so it was named after that."
"There is such a saying. It was a long time ago. When I first started this business, I heard an old man say this. Here in Minqing, there is one Luoqujiang River, which is said to have drowned many dead people in the past, and the other is Tiexiang. In the old district, they say there is a road to the underworld. It’s like there is a dragon vein in the capital, and there is a sunken ship of the emperor in the coastal area. It’s almost the same. It’s a story from that time.”
"You don't believe that, do you?"
"Ha, how can you believe this? These are all stories made up by people. They are just passed down from generation to generation. I was working in the old area of Tiexiang and didn't see anything. Oh, when I was digging water pipes, I dug up a mistake in the layout. At that time, some people said that it was Huangquan Road. When the old Tiexiang District was built, such a water pipe was deliberately buried."
"Hmm. So, didn't you encounter anything strange during the entire construction period?"
"Well… "
"Mr. Wang, no matter how incredible it is, you can tell us. Our newspaper is very interested in these contents."
"Well... I don't know... maybe I wasn't sober that day... There used to be a factory next to the old Tiexiang area. Do you know? That factory was abandoned and no one was there. It should have been in 1998 or 1999 At that time, it was sold and demolished, and the current shopping mall was built. That night, I woke up from peeing and came out of the wooden house. The factory building was higher than the wall of our construction site. When I went to the toilet , just in time to see. Inside the factory... I saw a child... standing behind the glass window of the factory, and ran away after a while. It was so late at night, I suddenly woke up with fright. Regarding this incident, I remember Very clear. But I don’t know if I really saw something dirty or if I was just dreaming."
"Did you check it later?"
"How dare you do this!"
"Do you remember whether that child is a boy or a girl? What does he look like?"
"I don't remember, and I didn't see clearly. I just remember that he was a child. He was standing behind a glass window on the second floor. But the factory should be on one floor. The building was two or three stories high, but there were no layers. There was also There was nothing, it couldn't be some shadow, I saw it wrong... Oh, that's it. I was scared at the time, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became... "
