What? Someone had died in this house before, and it had been a long time since someone had lived here? Then who was the person I saw last night?

Thinking of this, my brain immediately exploded. Without saying anything further, I pushed open the door and entered the house.

The entire room was only about ten square meters. I could see everything after I entered, not a single shadow could be seen!

Apart from the bed set up against the wall, there were also some toiletries on the floor. However, whether it was the dust in the room or the pungent musty smell coming from the bed, it seemed like no one had lived there for a long time.

"Impossible, impossible! Could it be that what I saw last night was... "No wonder I haven't seen anyone come out for the entire night!"

At the thought of this, I was suddenly struck dumb and staggered out of the room.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and change shifts! "

A voice suddenly sounded from behind me, startling me.

He turned around and realized it was Manager Liu from the construction site.

Seeing that my expression wasn't right, Liu Jie walked over and looked at the room, then looked at me and asked, "This room is where the security guard who resigned his position before you came here. If you want to stay here, we'll talk about it after he comes and removes the things."

After saying that, Liu Jie signaled me to go to the duty booth to turn over my shift.

But in my heart, I kept thinking about the words of that old worker. Thus, I stopped Liu Jie and probed, "Manager Liu, I heard that someone had died in that house?"

"From the time we bought the site until now, we have maintained a record of zero accidents. Who created this rumor?"

At first, I thought that the management had blocked off the news for the sake of not affecting the future housing prices, but looking at Liu Jie's angry expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

Could it be that the old laborer from before is lying to me? But I don't know him, why would he lie to me?

With this question in mind, I awkwardly followed Liu Jie to the duty station to turn in my shift.

After Liu Jie left the security booth, I took the opportunity to ask the security guards of the day shift, but they were clueless about the night shift.

I had no choice but to run to a nearby shop to buy a few packs of good cigarettes, then return to the construction site.

After many enquiries, I finally found Elder Miao, the wood and stone craftsman who had been working at the construction site since the beginning.

It was a skinny old man with wrinkles all over his face and resolution in his eyes. He was working as a carpenter in a small room when I found him.

After knocking on the door and introducing myself, I walked in with a smile and lit a cigarette for Elder Miao. Afterwards, we started chatting.

Through this conversation, I learned that Elder Miao was not a native, but was from Wenshan, Yunnan, and was an authentic Miao. Because his ancestors had passed down this carpenter's skills, he came to the city to work for money.

Elder Miao was a very easy-going person. Even though talking to me would disturb his work, he didn't mind. From time to time, he would even smile at me happily.

Seeing that it was about time, I asked tentatively, "Elder Miao, since you've been at our construction site for so long, you should be able to tell what happened at the construction site, right?"

"That said, the site owner is building a house to earn money, not doing spy activities. There's nothing to hide."

After saying that, Elder Miao stopped what he was doing and looked at me with a smile.

Seeing this, I hastily offered him another cigarette.

After giving him the order, I looked into his eyes and slowly asked, "I've heard that someone from our construction site has died before? In the room next to the kiosk? "

Hearing this, it was unknown if Elder Miao was excited or choked on the smoke as he began to cough non-stop.

Seeing this, I immediately patted Elder Miao's back to ease his anger. At the same time, I stared fixedly at him, waiting for his reply.

After a long while, Elder Miao finally stopped coughing. He snappily glanced at me while wiping away his tears. "Kid, where did you hear this from?"

"Hey!" There's hope! "

I was elated and immediately smiled apologetically. "Isn't this something I occasionally heard when they were chatting with each other?"

"Yes, this was indeed the case at the construction site, and it was indeed in the room next door to the watchtower, but the man was not dead. He was rescued by the hospital, and then he heard that it was all right again. What? Why are you asking this? "

"No, nothing, just curious. Then, what happened to that person? "

Seeing that Elder Miao seemed a little unhappy, I immediately shoved a pack of cigarettes that had yet to be opened into Elder Miao's hands. However, after opening it, Elder Miao took one out, then returned the cigarette to me and said meaningfully, "Young man, just listen to the advice of others and do your own thing." "Some things are better left unattended."

After he finished speaking, Elder Miao lowered his head and began working on the task at hand.

Elder Miao's words seemed to be filled with good intentions, but it seemed as if his words contained another meaning.

Could it be that there was something strange about that matter?

With this thought in mind, I bid farewell to Elder Miao and returned to the watchtower to look up the list of names on the construction site.

Detailed information on each worker was recorded in the roster, as well as a record of each worker's recruitment and resignation. Through my research, I discovered that there had been two security guards here before I came.

The one who quit before me is called Li Wenyuan. He's in his early twenties and lives in the city. The reason for his resignation is unknown. The earlier one, like me, was a foreigner. His name was Liang Jia Jun and he was fifty-five years old. The reason why he left was because, as Elder Miao had said, he had a brain hemorrhage.

As of now, he was in his thirties. It wasn't surprising that someone with a brain hemorrhage would appear here.

Even though I didn't know what happened to the person I saw last night, after reading the records on the register, I felt more at ease.

Walking out of the kiosk, I felt my whole body relax, and I couldn't help but look up and take a deep breath.

But the moment I raised my head, I suddenly saw that on the windowsill of the fourth floor opposite us, there was actually a person standing there. Furthermore, when that person saw me, he impressively leaped up and directly jumped down from the fourth floor!

Boom! *

A muffled sound could be heard, and dust began to rise from the back of the pile of building materials that the person had landed on.

"This is bad!" Something has happened! "

I ran to where the man had fallen.

However, when I rushed to the place where that person fell, all I saw was a sky full of dust. There wasn't even a single trace of a person's shoes on the concrete floor!

"What's going on? Could it be that I didn't get enough sleep last night and was seeing things? "

I looked at the dust cloud, then at the window where the figure had jumped down. I felt that something was off, so I decided to go up to the fourth floor to check it out.
