This factory is actually almost abandoned and will be converted into a market. Construction is expected to start next spring. Places like this can always be found in Tongfang Town. Qi Xugang and Lu Jiangyang originally planned to use this place as a base, but they were stopped by the police and taken to the police station because they arrived too late.
Probably because everyone has encountered some dangers, there is a vague atmosphere of conflict between everyone now, and it is difficult to get along. Xu Tong in particular looked the gloomiest, muttering some depressing words all the time.
The place where Qi Xugang investigated alone was Baiyetang, which was also a place where a white ceremony was held. However, it was not like the three-party chaos like Zaoyuanzhuang, but a hidden white ceremony. Qi Xugang also failed to stop Bai Li. He just got some benefits from there and ran away, without really saving anyone. He used what he got to ask for the direction of his next destination, which was Tongfang Town, and pulled another person over just to be on the safe side.
Master Peng, the master behind Shi Danong, he met in a temple, located in the foothills of the mountains, a village that was somewhat connected to the nearby small villages. Master Peng doesn’t know how he got so fat, but he is undoubtedly a capable person. He helped Shi Danong get rid of a ghost chasing him, and then followed Shi Danong to save Xue Qiaodi’s life. After investigating Zheng Yunting I found some clues. After that, the three people went to Zheng Yunting's hometown. After confirming that Zheng Yunting had never returned home, they followed the clues on the school side and found Tongfang Town.
In the end, the experiences of Tian Yang and Xu Tong were the most tragic. The two of them visited a total of five places, all of which were randomly selected in the APP. Unexpectedly, there were ghosts in all five places, and the ghosts they encountered were all very ferocious. It's not like they didn't meet some reliable friends, but they all died in various encounters. Only the two of them miraculously survived. This experience was not pleasant at all, and the reason why the two came here was because the last friend who died told them to come here to find the truth.
Everyone's experience is different, but here we reach the same destination.
"I think this is God's will in the dark." Qi Xugang said righteously, "The last time we met, it must have been because fate decided that we had to solve this problem together! The death of the president! The mystery of Solitaire! Everything... It should be in Tongfang Town!"
"You should have noticed that this whole town is already very strange, right?" Qian Yipeng said, "The problem here in Tongfang Town is not just one place, but the whole town. Just based on our current situation, There’s no way we can all work together.”
"Hmph, you're going to die sooner or later." Xu Tong snorted coldly.
"Don't be so pessimistic, I know you feel uncomfortable." Zhou Shilan said softly, "We have also lost many people..."
"Who here has never lost anyone?" Xu Tong stood up immediately, "If you really want to solve the problem, what's the use of discussing these problems? Let's just say it. Whoever has the target of suspicion can just report it. ?”
"Well... what we found is another factory here." Qi Xugang didn't care about Xu Tong's attitude, "It's still the same problem that Lu Jiangyang discovered. The efficiency of that factory is actually not very good, as can be seen from their online financial reports It has to come out. But this factory still retains many workers, and according to some local reports, this factory is even highly praised for its high benefits and generous treatment."
Lu Jiangyang smiled: "Let me tell you. That factory is called Bai Guiyi, which is also well-known here. It is a new factory and has only been established for three years. The textile industry is the main production chain, but Tongfang Town Except for some old factories, many of the factory businesses in the country have been transformed. Now there are not many factories that can really be said to be alive. Under such circumstances, it is very strange for new factories to still do old business. I paid close attention to it. Benefit issues and welfare status mismatches were identified.”
"So what does this question reflect?" Xu Tong asked.
"There are factories with good economic benefits but poor welfare, but there are definitely no factories with poor benefits and good welfare. This is not a public enterprise. No one will use money to waste money. The only explanation is that there are other sources of funds - this fund cannot It is placed on the public account, but they still need to retain people and use benefits to retain enough people to work. Anyway, Tongfang Town is a remote place, and no one will check this factory. "
"Oh...then we are going to check that factory?"
"This is a little different from the location we want to investigate." Xue Qiaodi said, "Master Peng used the yin and yang compass to measure this place. There is a very weird yin and yang airflow condensation in the northeast corner. We want to investigate there tomorrow. Yes. As for the factory you are talking about...it is definitely not there, it is a new urban area."
"That's true, factories will not be built in emerging urban areas." Lu Jiangyang nodded.
"What we are looking for is a company, Baligong Smile Travel Service." Lu Ning said, "And we also met the president's... soul before. According to a little information he left behind without knowing it, he came here. I applied for a job at a travel agency, but inexplicably turned out to be a sacrifice for an evil plan. It must be that company we want to investigate."
"That's it..." Xu Tong sat down a little lonely. Only she and Tian Yang were chased, according to the last words of the last friend, so they were still aimless.
"I think you might as well consolidate the intelligence here. Since we mentioned three places, let's find out how they are related first." Lu Jiangyang said with a smile, "It's the middle of the night anyway, so it's really not a good time to investigate, right?" Right? Let's discuss it. If anyone is tired, he can go to the dormitory next to him to rest for a while. When he is full of energy, we can act together tomorrow morning. "
"Is daytime a good time to take action? Don't forget that all the people at the police station are dead. Even if our evidence is wiped out, there will still be police officers on duty the next day to intervene." Long Tiangang said.
"But everyone is tired..." Lu Jiangyang looked at everyone. Indeed, several people were already yawning from time to time, and Lu Ning actually felt a little mentally tired. It took a lot of energy to break out of the Red Prison. She really wanted to take a nap, but now she was not sure whether she could wake up after falling asleep.
"We need to form a unified opinion. If anyone doesn't care about their opinions, they can go to bed, but those who stay for discussion must accept the final opinions or leave." Qian Yipeng said.
"Okay." Xu Tong said immediately, "We agree. I agree."
Her attitude is quite confusing. Everyone looked at each other, Zhou Shilan couldn't help but said that she was going to bed, Duan Ye said to go and guard the door, and Tian Yang and Xu Tong discussed with each other, Tian Yang also went to bed, and finally Qi Xugang left Lu Jiangyang here and was also ready. Take a break first to recharge your batteries. Deng Zhiyi also yawned and left it to Xin Mi.
"I can't see that you would actually stay." After everyone gathered around and sat down, Xue Qiaodi said to Xu Tong, "Looking at you, I thought you were dying."
"Are you kidding...I must make their deaths meaningful..." Xu Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I just hate wasting time meaninglessly on what happened in the past. We are all victims, right? As long as we find out It’s all over for that perpetrator!”
"Oh, that's really easy..." Master Peng patted his belly and said, "Catch the initiator...it's all over..."
This Master Peng is also a very strange person, no less strange than Duan Ye. Lu Ning glanced at him and then spoke: "Let's sort it out. We have three targets. Now we have unanimously decided to choose one of them to check?"
"No." Lu Jiangyang shook his finger, "Everyone, we have all found a doubt, haven't we? It is true that the doubt found by Li Wenyue is the most direct, but this does not prevent us from verifying the connection between these locations. Perhaps our connection with the outside world has been cut off, but here we can still obtain information from the Internet normally. In other words, we cannot go 'outward', but we can get things 'inward' from the outside."
With that said, Lu Jiangyang took out his laptop from his backpack and started typing on it: "I have a map of Tongfang Town. Master Peng, can you mark the location more clearly?"
"Okay... okay..." Master Peng moved his body with great effort and came next to Lu Jiangyang, "Here..."
"Besides this, does anyone else have any news? As long as it's a suspicion, we don't have that much time." Qian Yipeng asked.
"We have some other suspicions." Xue Qiaodi shook her phone. "I downloaded most of the apps and focused on the various ghost stories in Tongfang Town. The ghost stories here have a common feature."
"Don't show off!" Xu Tong shouted.
"Don't interrupt me." Xue Qiaodi doesn't care what Xu Tong's mood is. After all, who can still be in a good mood after getting here? She thought about it again, and then said: "All ghost stories related to Tongfang Town, no matter which APP they come from, the final result is that they are 'solved' or 'no longer happen'."
This situation is very strange. After all, Lu Ning and others already know that these apps are related to ghosts, and ghost stories exist to arouse fear and deepen a sense of awe. Even if they are somewhat different from reality, it will be useful as long as the names of the ghosts are correct. And a ghost that has been solved is just fun for modern people, and the fear it causes will be greatly reduced, right?
"Wouldn't this not have the scary effect of a ghost story?" Lu Jiangyang also raised this question.
"Well, according to my reading experience, although the scary part is the ghost story itself, it is... so subtle that it makes it feel more like the organization that claimed to have 'solved' it in the end."
Xue Qiaodi described it with some difficulty. In fact, it is best for everyone to take a look, but there is really not enough time to read all the stories at the moment. Xue Qiaodi also felt it vaguely after reading too many stories.
Although each story is ultimately "solved" or "confirmed" by different people, in summary, it is not something that professionals such as Taoist priests can handle. It always becomes "this is what the rumors say" or "what's the matter?" Great people say so" and the like. After all, it is just a story and does not require a particularly rigorous introduction. However, after accumulating this way and understanding more of these ghost stories, you will feel that there is always some inexplicable organization behind it that is secretly dealing with these things.
In other words, the endings of many stories are combined together to form a new existence similar to an urban legend. If Xue Qiaodi had not read many stories, he might not have noticed it.
"Generally speaking, this is the feeling it gives me."
"So someone here in Tongfang Town used ghost stories to gather some secret awe." Xin Mi concluded, "And the supernatural events we encountered before can prove that Tongfang Town has turned into a... ghost town, at least this one The process has already begun. It’s not just ghosts and ghosts in one place, all kinds of strange phenomena have begun to spread.”
At this moment, Lu Jiangyang suddenly shouted: "Yes!"
Everyone looked at him.
"Lin Yuan, the external person in charge of Baligong Smile Service... this name also appears on the list of special technical guidance experts of Baiguyi. This position is obviously a cover. A mechanized textile factory also has this? What's wrong with this? It's not a big company in the city... It's a pity that Bai Guiyi's expert list doesn't have a photo. It's quite cunning. It only has an email and contact number, which is not comparable to that of Lin Yuan."
"It can be explained by having the same name, but in that case why not just disguise the name?" Yan Zidan said.
"Maybe it's not necessary. The name Lin Yuan is not particularly special, and I didn't expect anyone to investigate all the lists so carefully." Lu Jiangyang saved the evidence, "Okay, now the connection between the two is almost the same. It can be proved that as for the corner that Master Peng pointed out, no direct connection has been found, but a new apartment building is being built there recently. What is somewhat surprising is that this part of the building has nothing to do with the Ruilong Group and the Panggou Group. Guanxi, but a little-known real estate company... called Wu Chen."
"What's so strange about this?" Qian Yipeng asked.
"Ah? Don't you know? The emerging large-scale real estate developments in and around Gengwu City are basically contracted by Ruilong and Panggou. These two groups are large enough, have abundant funds, and are very enthusiastic about this matter. . Tongfang Town is not a remote place, and the real estate here was previously acquired by two major groups. They will not let go of new opportunities."
"In other words, this Wu Chen defeated the two major groups in bidding or something and obtained the qualification for construction, right?" Long Tiangang said.
"Yes, but the connection between Wuchen Construction, Bali Gong and Bai Guiyi cannot be found. There is no one with the same name at the top." Lu Jiangyang nodded.
"Hey... isn't the name itself quite conspicuous?" Xu Tong said gloomily.
