    Here are some old photos.

    One is a scene photo of the accident at the construction site. In the photo, there are workers who watched the excitement, the medical staff who came after being notified, the police, the leaders of the construction site, and the family members of the worker who fell to his death at that time. A woman in her early forties was held by the waist by the police, and her upper body threw herself onto a stretcher covered with a white sheet.

    Although the woman in the photo is already old and her facial features are distorted because of crying and crying, she can still vaguely recognize a shadow similar to someone.

    The report with the picture stated the identity of this woman, the second wife of the deceased Ma Dajun.

    Several other photos appeared in news reports on civil mediation. The woman in the first photo took up a lot of space. In the face-to-face, she was arguing with Ma Dajun's parents and children. In the corner, a teenage girl was alone. Standing aside coldly, there is neither sadness nor joy in her eyes, and her coldness can be felt through the camera.

    This young face is clearly Gu Chu!

    Ying Ruoqi was excited, at this moment she had sorted out the relationship between Gu Chu and Ma Dajun.

    She is the child brought by Ma Dajun's second wife. According to the report, Gu Chu's mother, Gu Fang, married Ma Dajun when she was five years old. For the next ten years, she has been a housewife and the whole family Ma Dajun's expenses and Gu Chu's tuition were all paid by Ma Dajun. It can be said that Ma Dajun supported the two of them.

    After Ma Dajun's accidental death, the construction site lost part of the money, but Ma Dajun still has a pair of elderly parents who need support, and a pair of children born to his ex-wife. The eldest son is about to get married and buy a house, and the youngest daughter is still in college. No small expense.

    The compensation of 400,000 yuan is a lot less, but not too much.

    The house Ma Dajun lives in is pre-marital property, and he has not saved much money after being married for so many years. From the perspective of the Ma family, the compensation is not enough to cover future expenses. How can it be distributed to an outsider like Gu Fang? Besides, sheI haven't earned a single penny in the past year. The Ma family has done their best to support her, and even raise such a burden as Gu Chu.

    These news reports focused on the hardships of the Ma family, coupled with the old and lonely faces of the Ma family, they quickly turned the direction of public opinion to their side.

    As for Gu Fang, over forty is not too old, her daughter is still in high school, there is no place to spend a lot of money, the mother and daughter can survive on their own, why bother to fight for compensation with the poor man who lost his son and father Woolen cloth.

    In the end, Gu Fang was only allocated 20,000 yuan, plus some clothes bought over the years. Everyone felt that the Ma family was very kind.

    Looking at these reports, Ying Ruoqi couldn't help frowning.

    In her opinion, the Ma family is a bit stingy, so why don’t housewives pay? Among other things, when Gu Fang married Ma Dajun, the two children he had with his ex-wife were still young, and they were also brought up by Gu Fang. Big one, it's not cheap to hire a nanny these days. How can it be said that Gu Fang eats free food and doesn't contribute to the family.

    It's just that these reports were all ten years ago. The public opinion environment at that time was not friendly to housewives with no financial income, and Ma Dajun also had a pair of old parents who needed to be supported. Out of this consideration, there should be more points. Compensation is also reasonable.

    Although Ying Ruoqi has some opinions on the bias in the report, she also feels that the Ma family is kind to Gu Chu. After all, they raised her and sent her to school, but the expression of Gu Chu in the photo obviously has no regard for Ma Dajun.Feelings, isn't this a thankless wretch?

    Not surprisingly, the one who uttered that hoarse scream last night was the first "accidental" death Ma Dajun.

    For this accident, she put quotation marks in her heart.

    Could it be some accident?

    Ying Ruoqi boldly guessed that maybe the adolescent Gu Chu had some kind of conflict with Ma Dajun, so he sneaked to the construction site alone, and pushed Ma Dajun off the tall building when he was drunk and off guard.

    Because of Ma Dajun's accidental death, he was full of resentment and lingered on the construction site, which led to the occurrence of several subsequent accidents.

    【He's been waiting for you for a long, long time, don't let him find you! Don't let him find you! 】

    This guess seems to coincide with the content of the story, Ma Dajun is waiting for someone, waiting for the person who pushed him off the tall building!

    Ying Ruoqi was excited that she had cleared her mind so quickly, but then, she couldn't help frowning again. If it was as she guessed, what would be the answer to the riddle? Is it to kill Gu Chu to appease Ma Dajun's resentment?

    She was a little hesitant. After all, she had been in the game for so long, and she hadn't taken the initiative to hurt readers who were also human.

    On the other side, Gu Chu also dragged Wan San into an Internet cafe. Coincidentally, the private room she opened was next door to Ying Ruoqi.

    "Deputy Captain Gu, what am I doing?"

    Wan San gnawed on the pancake fruit and asked vaguely.

    "Check out the accidents in Xingfuli Community by yourself, and remember the time and place of each accident."

    Gu Chu knew all this, but he didn't have time to explain it to Wan San in detail. Anyway, it was all old news that could be found on the Internet, so let Wan San read it by himself.

    "over!"

    Wan San gestured an OK gesture, then walked to another machine in the private room and began to search.

    Looking at it, his expression changed, and he secretly looked at Gu Chu's side face several times in the middle of the journey. Obviously, he also saw the photos that Ying Ruoqi found.

    Gu Chu didn't pay attention to his small actions, but searched the Internet for some news about Shenhuo Village and Xijiao Charity Hospital.

    She needs to use this opportunity to judge something.

    The few relevant reports that could be found were all the same as the ones she found online after leaving those tasks. According to the reports released to the public, the reason for the closure of the Xijiao Charity Hospital was tax evasion and irregular drug supply channels.

    The actual reason is that because it is not in the intranet, it cannot be found by relying on the network of Internet cafes alone.

    But this is also enough to prove one point, that is, the result she found now is unified with the real world.

    With this definite answer, Gu Chu began to search for news reports about Xingfuli Community. Except for some posts about "Haunted Legend of Xingfuli Construction Site" and "Night Visiting Haunted Construction Site" that occasionally appeared in recent years, the rest of the news reports It was no different from what she had seen back then.

    She wants to write these down to see if the news reports she finds will change after she solves the puzzle and leaves the story.

    She wanted to know whether what happened in the story would cause changes in real life.

    "Deputy Captain Gu, what are you looking at?"

    Wan San didn't want to read those news any more, and stood behind Gu Chu with his head tilted. On the computer page were relevant reports about the antique reselling case in Western Sichuan Province.

    "Antique case?"

    He immediately thought of Liu Sanquan.

    "By the way, he still has an accent in central Dianzhong, western Sichuan. Could it be that the batch of antiques he sold to me is related to the batch of antiques found in the underground market in Western Sichuan Province a few years ago?"

    Wan San is also more concerned about his own business of eating. Because the batch of unsourced antiques entered the market back then, the entire Western Sichuan Province was turned upside down, and many merchants who depended on antique trading for their livelihood were greatly hurt by this.

    However, it is said that the case has not been closed so far, because the person who sold the antiques was very shrewd and disappeared after receiving the first payment, and no new antiques have flowed out since then.

    Wan San's reaction was not slow, and he immediately connected the clues of western Sichuan - central Yunnan - antiques - Liu Sanquan.

    "Tsk tsk, no wonder you are a policeman, and I am a bandit. I have been caught by you several times, and I am not bad."

    Wan San rubbed his chin. As expected of a professional in criminal investigation, he thought he was ahead of him, but even if he knew that Liu Sanquan was related to that batch of antiques, how would it help this task?

    Gu Chu's typing on the keyboard didn't stop at all.

    One news report after another quickly flashed by. Many times, before Wan San could read the first few lines clearly, Gu Chu had already closed the page.

    These news are about the construction site and about the antique case.

    Until the relevant reports about the last accident on the construction site appeared, Gu Chu's movement of sliding the mouse slowed down significantly.

    The two workers who died in a fight at the Xingfuli construction site on the opening day were very young. One of them, Guan Hu, was only nineteen years old.

    The journalists are all capable people, and they actually investigated the previous criminal record of this Guan Hu.

    At the age of thirteen, he was sent to a juvenile prison for two years because of burglary and wounding. Not long after he came out, he was arrested during a crackdown because he joined a pickpocket gang and was sentenced to another three months.

    After being released this time, he was much more honest. He went to the construction site with his relatives and earned money by relying on his physical strength and skills. It was just because he didn't work very seriously, he had to ask for leave every now and then, and the money he got every month It was only enough for him to spend alone, and occasionally he was a little nervous.

    Some time before the accident, Guan Hu suddenly became a lot richer. When eating at the construction site, people would eat meat, vegetables and soup provided by the contractor, and he would also order a few extra takeaways. Big fish and meat, a day's wages Not enough for him to make a meal.

    The reason for the dispute with another worker was because Guan Hu had bought a watch worth more than 40,000 yuan to pretend to be aggressive, but it was lost by accident. At that time, only the worker passed by the shed where Guan Hu lived.

    Guan Hu felt that the other party stole his watch, but the worker refused to admit it, so the two had a quarrel like this, which gradually turned into a fight.

    Later, when Guan Hu's bed was being tidied, more than 100,000 yuan in cash was found in the dilapidated suitcase under his bed. Where did such a large sum of money come from? Why not deposit it in the bank?

    At that time, the police also suspected that the money came from an improper source, but because there was not enough evidence, they had to hand over the money to Guan Hu's family.

    Three newcomers who entered the story because of the connection of antiques, a haunted construction site, a construction site worker who had a criminal record, and suddenly received a huge sum of money before his death...

    These clues are like nodes, connected together to form a complete clue.

    【He has been waiting for you for a long time】

    Is it really just referring to Ma Dajun?

    Gu Chu closed all the news pages, picked up the cold pancakes, and suddenly felt like drinking iced cola.

    Stayed in the Internet cafe until the evening, after eating some takeaways, and bought some sausages, marinated eggs and drinks from the network administrator, Ying Ruoqi finally got up and left the private room, and coincidentally met Gu Chu and Wan San who also came out of the private room.

    "I know everything!"

    Looking at Gu Chu, Ying Ruoqi became more confident.

    "Gu Chu, admit it, you killed your stepfather, it wasn't an accident at all, you pushed him down."

    Gu Chu turned around to leave, but Ying Ruoqi chased after her, chattering endlessly.

    "Even if you have any conflicts with your stepfather, even if he did something that you can't bear, you can't kill him directly, you can talk to your teacher and mother, you can call the police, no matter what, it's not a reason for your crime .”

    Ying Ruoqi said righteously and sternly.

    Gu Chu stopped and confided, ah!

    It's just that after seeing the man doing evil, he slaps you in turn, scolds you for being shameless, and pours out like a little bitch?

    She took a deep look at Ying Ruoqi, envious of her innocence.

    "What do you see me doing?"

    Ying Ruoqi touched her cheek, then straightened her chest, her eyes never evading.

    "His fall has nothing to do with me."

    Gu Chu had already let go of that past incident, and she didn't think she was at fault in that incident, but it didn't mean she was willing to tell everyone about it and use it as a talking point for others.

    "You still don't admit it, we all heard it last night."

    Ying Ruoqi felt that Gu Chu was still arguing.

    In that photo, Gu Chu's eyes were so indifferent, he clearly hated Ma Dajun so much.

    "What nonsense are you talking about!"

    Wan San stepped between the two of them, those inverted triangle eyes, which always looked wretched, were now shining brightly.

    "Gu Chu is impossible to kill."

    He felt that he knew Gu Chu, "Even if, even if it was really Gu Chu who did it back then, it must be the man who should be damned."

    Anyway, he trusts Vice Captain Gu so much.

    He didn't believe that a policeman who was willing to lend a helping hand to someone like him would kill his stepfather when he was young, unless the man was a beast in human skin.

    Even if Gu Chu really did something wrong back then, he was willing to believe that it was her young impulsive behavior.

    "But that's her stepfather, the father who has raised her for more than ten years."

    Ying Ruoqi looked at Wan San, who seemed to be brainwashed by Gu Chu, and said incredulously. But now that Gu Chu has gone far, she can only stamp her feet in anger.

    When we returned to the construction site, it was already dark, and the second night was about to come.

    Feng Nai should have also investigated some past events related to the construction site. His eyes always fall on Gu Chu covertly, but for Gu Chu, who has received strict anti-stalking training, this kind of dodging gaze is more arousing. her attention.

    On the other hand, Liu Sanquan's eyes were still dodging and erratic, but compared to the panic when he saw him during the day, although he was still hunched over his back and looked very insecure, there was a bit of deliberateness in this movement.

    Deliberately afraid?

    Gu Chu left a thought, could Liu Sanquan be sure to spend the second night safely?

    She was the first to return to the construction site. The first time she came back, she went to the hut to check Jia Yubao's body. The jade pendant she had seen in the hut before was gone.

    Liu Sanquan turned back and took the jade pendant most likely. The other party was confident that the reason for spending the second night was related to that jade pendant.

    "I found some clues about the construction site. Several accidents happened in and near high-rise buildings. There has been no accidental death in the villa area, so I suggest that you two newcomers go there tonight and find a room to hide. "

    Ying Ruoqi said this while looking at Gu Chu.

    "As for us, let's stay in the high-rise area. You all know that the power of those things will increase day by day. If you don't solve the puzzle as soon as possible, on the last day, their power will be so strong that it is close to no solution. At that time, it will be very difficult for us to survive.”

    This is true.

    "If you are not guilty, do you dare to stay in Building 17?"

    Ying Ruoqi's ultimate goal is still Gu Chu.

    "Pay attention to safety, you can't stop it, come to me when the last breath-holding charm is left."

    Gu Chu urged Wan San that according to Wan San's speed, one breath-holding talisman was enough for him to run from the villa area to the vicinity of Building 17.

    "One Hundred Thousand" can never be thought with common sense. At present, it seems that the villa area is indeed the safest place, but it is not guaranteed that this crisis will appear in the villa area.

    Wan San nodded and watched Gu Chu walk towards Building No. 17.

    At this time, the sky was completely dark.

    Ma Dajun stood on the eighteenth floor, and he felt that his strength was even greater today.

    He was waiting for someone, for a woman who killed him and made him repeat the process of death every night for so many years.

    In Ma Dajun's view, Gu Chu should be afraid of him.

    He was so powerful back then, and Gu Chu's thin body was pressed down by him, and the hands she waved in resistance were easily grabbed by his one hand and shackled above her head.

    She was like a frail kitten who couldn't do anything but screams of pain and tears of ineptitude.

    It's a pity, it's a pity that the woman who ruined his good deeds suddenly appeared...

    Ma Dajun became more and more angry, and the resentment lingering around him became more and more boiling.

    "Da da da……"

    With the sound of steady footsteps behind him, Ma Dajun turned his head and grinned wildly, his facial features distorted.

    He wanted to see the fear on Gu Chu's face. He knew very well that even though some people looked powerful, the shadow of the past was just a shadow, a fear that could not be overcome in his whole life.

    Although Gu Chu's current appearance is very different from the quiet and shy little girl with long hair reaching her waist back then, Ma Dajun still feels that he is a mountain that can easily suppress her.

    "You said I pushed you down?"

    Gu Chu's eyes were calm, as if standing in front of her was not a terrifying, bloody ghost.

    "It's a pity I never actually did it."

    Da da da, she walked towards Ma Dajun step by step.

    "Now, let me grant your wish."

    Under Ma Dajun's watchful eyes, Gu Chu had already walked in front of him, and with his stiff smile, the dagger in his hand pierced his heart, and then he pushed gently.

    "W-what..."

    Ma Dajun felt the tingling pain in his heart.

    "It's really... so cool!"

    Gu Chu stood on a high place, watching Ma Dajun fall again like yesterday.

    The night is long, and have to find a game to pass the lonely time.

    "Snapped"

    Gu Chu opened a can of iced cola, ate the marinated eggs, and waited for Ma Dajun to climb up like a dog.
