Shi Nian stretched out his hand and gestured at the building in front of him: "From top to bottom, the whole building... is full of it. The breath is too thick, I can no longer tell whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, I only know..."
Shi Nian looked at the girls beside him, and said bitterly: "I'm afraid that none of the people in this building can escape."
Everyone's eyes moved up—this building is six or seven floors high, if no one can escape, and there is less than an hour, what should they do
Time is running out and disaster is imminent.
Gong Jiamu is good at making decisions, Miyou is meticulous in details, Qiu Si, Shi Nian and Xiao Yining all have their own special observation methods. So Gong Jiamu made a decisive decision and suggested to enter the building and its surroundings separately to check the situation and inquire about the news.
"No matter how much information there is, we will gather here in fifteen minutes to gather the information. Also, Rice, you stay where you are, and search the Internet for relevant information about this place to see if you can find any architectural background , property rights information and the like.”
"good."
"OK."
"I'm OK."
Several people acted quickly, and rushed in different directions separately. Xiao Yining and Shi Nian entered the old building, and began to observe from the first floor upwards; Qiu Si plunged into the small shop on the first floor, blending silently into the flow of people shopping; Gong Jiamu turned his head towards the Walking over to the small supermarket next to it, while choosing products, he began to talk to the aunt who was guarding the cashier with a smile on his face.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone gathered in place, each with a more dignified expression.
"This building has more than six floors." Shi Nian spoke first, his face livid.
He went upstairs only to realize that he was standing downstairs and looked up, and his field of vision was limited, so it seemed that the building was on the same level as the two surrounding buildings and slightly higher, and it looked like it had only six floors. But when he reached the top of the sixth floor, he found that there was another cave above.
Xiao Yining smiled wryly: "It's a man-made accident, that's right, and it looks like it's an accident about to collapse the building. The owner of this building built a half-floor on top of the sixth floor, and then probably felt that living in a small attic is not enjoyable. , and built two additional floors of color steel buildings.”
"That's impossible!" Miyou retorted in shock: "I found out that his construction qualifications are complete! How could he have obtained these qualifications and certificates if he violated the construction!"
Gong Jiamu changed the subject: "If it is fake, it is too late to call the police now. We only have a little more than half an hour. Let me talk about other discoveries first."
Shi Nian went on to say: "I heard that this building originally only had five floors. Then the owner added it to six and a half floors. After living for a while, he added it to eight floors, but the eighth floor was not fully covered, it was about half of the floor. It’s the location, the owner lives in it himself.”
Xiao Yining added: "The single floor of this building itself is not large, and it is a bit deep vertically. There are two restaurants on the first floor, one on the second floor, a private theater on the third floor, and small hotels on the fourth to sixth floors. Facilities that are convenient for nearby students are also rented out.”
It was noon now, already past eleven o'clock, and students could be seen pouring into the building one after another. Seeing those smiling, youthful faces, several people couldn't help but clenched their fists.
Qiu Si also shared the information she got: "The lower the floor, the more expensive the rent, and the higher the floor, the cheaper. The two on the first floor have been rented for a long time. The second floor has just been opened for a year or two. I haven't heard of the third floor , the proprietress of the small hotel on the fourth floor is a single mother, and she has been renting it for several years, which means that most of the tenants in this building are relatively stable."
Gong Jiamu nodded: "It's similar to the news I got. The customers here are mainly from the surrounding schools and the nearby buildings. Most of them are young people. But the owner of this building is a very stingy person. It's not easy to talk about."
She relayed the original words of the supermarket proprietress: "That old Yuan, just kill him. It's great to own a building. The rent is not cheap, and the price has been increasing every year in the past one or two years. If not At the beginning, I saw his house was cheap, who would rent his house.”
"In addition," Gong Jiamu said with a heavy voice, "the problem with this building is not small, and the owner may know about it."
This is also what the supermarket proprietress said. In her mouth, this old man who has money and a house is a picky guy, and he doesn't do human affairs. Old Yuantou's children and grandchildren all live in the bustling urban area, and Lao Yuantou built this building by himself in this place near the scenic spot and surrounded by university towns.
Originally, most of the buildings in this area were self-built. Everyone set aside a small area, and after applying for qualifications, five floors of the same height were built. But this old Yuantou is open-eyed when he sees money. Originally, he lived on the fifth floor of this building by himself, and rented out the fourth floor downstairs. But when he saw that the rental income was good and there were schools nearby, he didn't have to worry about no business, so he slapped his head and added a floor to the five-story brick-and-tile structure by pouring cement.
"There are more and more people renting houses in the back, so he continued to build on it and moved it up by himself. The old thing that requires money and life, this building is built like this, and it will collapse sooner or later." The proprietress said contemptuously : "There seemed to be an accident the year before last. It was the outer wall of the hotel on the sixth floor. There was a crack. It was a big one. Then Lao Yuan went to the building materials market to find someone to reinforce it with steel bars, and then reduced it to others. Once the rent is paid, it’s over.”
Gong Jiamu was stunned: "If you want me to say, these people are also very courageous. Isn't this a dilapidated house? How dare you live like this?"
The proprietress curled her lips: "The woman who runs the hotel is divorced and has a two-year-old child. There is nothing a woman can do to support her family and children. Then she rents a house cheaply, and the hotel rent is also cheap. Those who work nearby who can’t afford to buy a house or rent a house, live here for a while, and then there are those college students who open houses.”
"Let's go upstairs and talk to the owner of the house." Xiao Yining said, "He is the owner of the house, so he doesn't want to see something happen to this building and cause casualties, right?"
Gong Jiamu is not optimistic about this, but there is no better way right now. According to the proprietress of the supermarket, almost all the tenants knew about the cracks in this building before, but they still rented the house and did business, as if compared with money, life and safety were not worth mentioning .
So a group of people went upstairs, climbed the narrow stairs to the top of the sixth floor, and met the owner of the house, Lao Yuantou, in the attic.
Lao Yuantou has a shrewd face, a thin but energetic figure, and a pair of triangular eyes with drooping eyelids, but they can't hide the look in his eyes.
Both Xiao Yining and Shi Nian put on the posture of a master, staring at Old Yuantou carefully for a moment. Xiao Yining said: "You know that disaster is imminent? The black air on your forehead is almost reaching me."
She wasn't lying, in her sight, there were shockingly decayed auras around Old Yuantou, but these were not dead auras. If this disaster comes true, these auras will become real grievances to entangle him and his family members who have used their ill-gotten gains.
Old Yuan raised his eyebrows: "The young man tricked me into lying?"
Xiao Yining snorted coldly: "Your building is about to have an accident, don't you know?"
Old Yuan was stunned for a moment, then as if he had thought of something, he flew into a rage: "What the hell are you going to curse me?" He picked up the broom next to him and waved away Xiao Yining and the others: "Go away, old man!" The building is doing well! All kinds of cats and dogs come to find fault, if young people don’t learn well, they are like liars!”
"What did you do yourself, don't you have any idea what you want to get?" Shi Nian couldn't help but stepped forward to stop him.
Old Yuan's head stiffened slightly, and then he swung the broom at Shi Nian's body without hesitation: "Roll, roll, roll!"
His apparent refusal to communicate didn't seem like he was unaware, but more like he had been poked in a sore spot.
But regardless of this, the homeowner's path will not work.
"It's really not possible. I called the police and said that I put explosives in the building, and then asked for an emergency evacuation?" Qiu Si asked whimsically.
"Are you crazy? Report a false alarm?" Shi Nian was shocked.
"I'm a Singaporean." Qiu Si said seriously: "At worst, deport me!"
"Then you don't want the business and contacts you have had in China for so many years? Go back to Singapore and start over?"
"But it can save a lot of people, and it may not be the step of repatriation, right?"
Xiao Yining had already silently taken out the talisman paper from his bag and held it in his hand, and sat down on the spot: "I want to ask the fairy to ask, you can look at it for me."
The situation was urgent, and she couldn't care less about finding a better hiding place.
Seeing her sitting cross-legged and chanting words, they couldn't think of how to keep her from attracting attention. They surrounded her, it didn't look good; they looked at each other, it seemed wrong.
After weighing it for a moment, Miyou gritted his teeth, sat down cross-legged, took out food from his bag, and looked like he was having a picnic. Gong Jiamu was shocked, and then suddenly, he sat down too. Shi Nian and Qiu Si didn't know why, so they followed suit. For a while, five people sat on the ground, which attracted some attention, but no one just stared at Xiao Yining, because everyone's expressions were: Are these people okay? Performance Art?

A few minutes later, Xiao Yining opened her eyes, and she said very quickly: "I made an exception, I figured out that landlord, Old Yuan, and I will make up for it later. But," she emphasized: "But, Let's keep an eye on this building, there will be a turning point soon! That old Yuan, he will not be injured this time, but he will lose his money and be punished by prison."
"What does that mean?" Qiu Si was puzzled.
Mi You was so excited that her voice became louder: "There is no disaster of blood and light, but there is disaster of prison! If the whole building collapses, he will never be able to live on the roof unscathed! This means that he was not there when the accident happened! He Get out! When he goes out, we will have a chance!"
The eyes of several people lit up, and they knew that a turning point was just around the corner!
