I held my chin and thought for a while, then asked: "Is the construction site open now?"
"No, I originally raised the wage standard after the accident, but the workers all said they saw the ghosts of three dead workers on the construction site, and they dared not continue working no matter how much they were paid. Now the construction site has been shut down. "
“Where did those three workers come from?”
I asked next.
"They came from the same village in the nearby countryside and were brought here by a contractor."
Gao Nantian answered truthfully.
"What's the name of that contractor, and where is he now?"
"The workers all called him Brother Fei. I remember he lived in a place called Chengxi Village on the west side. All the money we compensated the three workers was given to the family of the deceased."
"Find out the home addresses of him and the three workers. I'm going to find out something."
Gao Nantian quickly took out his cell phone, and after making several calls, he finally found out Brother Fei's location and quickly sent it to me.
"You should go back first. I will contact you at any time if there is any news."
After saying goodbye to Gao Nantian, I went straight back to the incense and candle shop.
Hu Hua and others were busy receiving guests. Bai Ze and Jing Jing went shopping outside, so I just asked Lonnie and we took a taxi together and drove out of the city.
In a village a hundred miles away from Fengdu City, in a small courtyard.
The woman returned home from the mountain carrying dry firewood, wiped off the sweat, and hurriedly untied the dry firewood and prepared to light a fire for cooking.
A little girl of five or six years old heard the sound, ran over from the house, and squatted in front of the stove.
"Mom, let me help you."
The woman smiled and nodded, and the mother and daughter were busy for a while. They quickly cooked the meal and put it on the table.
Porridge, steamed buns, pickles, simple meals, but the girl ate them with relish.
"Mom, dad has been gone for more than ten days, why haven't he come back yet?"
While eating, the girl raised her head and asked the woman.
"Your dad is making money in other places. He won't be back for a while... Yaya, go do your homework after dinner."
The woman patted the girl on the head and said with a smile.
"Well, I will definitely study hard and give dad a surprise when he comes back!"
The girl smiled sweetly, quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, and ran back to the house.
Seeing the child leaving, the woman could no longer hold back her tears, falling like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing everything through Xiao Hei's sight, I immediately determined that this must be a family member of one of the victims, so I knocked on the door with Lonnie.
"Hello, are you Sun Youcai's family?"
"Yes, who are you?"
The woman opened the door and asked curiously.
"We are talented workers. When he meets with misfortune, we represent other workers and come to visit you."
With that said, Lonnie and I handed over the gifts we had prepared in advance.
With tears in her eyes, the woman thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you. We have the talent to make friends like you. He must be very satisfied."
"Sister, I would like to ask, after Youcai's death, has the compensation from Goldman Sachs Group been paid to you?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, I got straight to the point.
"Compensation? What compensation?"
The woman wiped away her tears and said, "We have never gone to school, so we don't know what the compensation will be. Anyway, after Youcai died, we didn't get an explanation. We can't even think about any compensation."
"Pity us orphans and widowed mothers. Without our backbone, how can we live in the future?"
When the woman said this, I immediately understood that 80% of the compensation from Goldman Sachs Group was swindled away by the black-hearted foreman!
"Sister, Goldman Sachs' compensation will be paid out soon. Don't worry, we will definitely help you resolve this matter."
After saying that, Lonnie and I left here without staying too long.
Outside the village, we waited for a taxi and headed straight to Chengxi Village.
Chengxi Village is an urban village located in the western suburbs of Fengdu. Renting a house here is very cheap. The village is dotted with various storefronts and there is a pink street in the deep alley. It is the best choice for many migrant workers.
At that time, a middle-aged man was sitting in an inconspicuous copper pot shabu-shabu shop on the corner of the street.
This middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, naked from the waist up, kept putting the mutton into the boiling copper pot with his left hand.
In his right hand, he held a large-screen mobile phone. On the screen, a voluptuous female anchor was posing.
The middle-aged man picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. At the same time, he moved his fingers and a rocket quickly appeared on the screen and soared into the sky.
"Thank you Brother Fei for sending us the plane!"
The female anchor showed a heart and her voice was cooing. The middle-aged man was so excited that he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
While he was concentrating on admiring the female anchor, the middle-aged man suddenly seemed to feel something strange. He looked up and saw a young man and woman sitting opposite him.
"who are you?"
The middle-aged man quickly put away his mobile phone and asked with a vigilant look.
"Are you Brother Fei?"
I glanced at the middle-aged man and asked calmly.
"Yes, how do you know my name?"
The middle-aged man asked coldly.
"This is not important. What is important is that I want to ask you something."
I smiled lightly.
"What's up?"
"Three workers fell at the Gaojia construction site."
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything!"
When Fei Ge heard this, he immediately stood up and left.
Snapped!
I just threw the wad of cash on the table.
"Brother Fei, don't leave in a hurry. As long as you answer our questions, these will all be yours."
Looking at the thick wad of banknotes, Fei Ge's eyes flashed with greed and he finally stopped.
"Is all this money for me?"
He looked at me suspiciously.
"certainly."
I nodded: "As long as you answer our questions truthfully, there will be rewards later."
"First of all, you must not reveal the conversation between us to anyone!"
Fei Ge stuffed the banknotes into his pocket and sat down across from us.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"The three workers who fell to death, I heard you brought them to the construction site?"
I asked directly.
"Yes, they are all my fellow villagers. They didn't have much work during the off-season, so they came to the city to find me and asked me to take them to the construction site. But I didn't expect that something like this happened..."
Fei Ge sighed with sympathy on his face: "Although the death of the three of them has nothing to do with me, I was the one who brought it about after all. I have been blaming myself very much recently."
Lonnie sneered: "Is that so? Did you give their family some compensation?"
Fei Ge's eyes widened immediately: "Compensation is a matter of Goldman Sachs Group, what does it have to do with me?"
Lonnie continued to ask: "But how come we heard that the compensation from Goldman Sachs Group was transferred to you to pay to the families of the deceased?"
