Chapter 425 Leaving Yangcheng and Turning Around Halfway
On the island in the middle of the lake, a magnificent building is rising.
The roar of machines, the hammering of hammers, and the chirping of birds in the distant jungle are intertwined. On the construction site, the steel skeleton has begun to take shape, shining silver in the sunlight.
Stepping onto the island, Chen Yi and the others looked at the central building. There was only one outline, vaguely visible modern and elegant design, with smooth and dynamic lines, which will be the main body of the hotel in the future.
With the perfect combination of natural landscape and modern architecture, it is foreseeable that those who stay here will have the ultimate experience.
Once this place is completed, it will still be very competitive in the high-end hotel industry in Yangcheng.
Jiang Fanlei has a good eye.
"How is it?" Jiang Fanlei asked with a smile.
Chen Yi nodded and told the truth: "There is indeed something. If the prices are similar, most customers will choose Huxin Island. The disadvantage is that it is a little biased."
Ren Moyong, who was standing next to him, said: "There's nothing we can do about it. Most of the scenic spots are very remote. In fact, it can't be considered a disadvantage. Being far away from the hustle and bustle of the city is exactly one of its advantages."
Chen Yi: "Well, that's true. Besides a hotel, what else are you going to build?"
Jiang Fanlei: "Make full use of the area and build a hotel. All entertainment facilities are concentrated inside the hotel, including KTV rooms, multi-functional dance halls, chess and card rooms, billiards halls, squash rooms, rock climbing rooms, gyms..."
He said a lot in succession, which sounded a little low, but it was all what most guests needed.
Nowadays, KTV and dance halls are difficult to operate. They were popular venues ten or twenty years ago and are being eliminated. But if they are built in hotels, I believe many people will choose to relax. Anyway, idle time is leisure. With.
This is business binding. If you usually go alone, many people will not be interested.
"How do you use this large lake?" Chen Yi turned around and looked at the sparkling lake.
Jiang Fanlei: "A luxury cruise ship is indispensable. It mainly focuses on fishing and does not include water sports. After all, it is not a seaside."
Chen Yi: "There is a future."
It can be seen that Jiang Fanlei is targeting a wide audience. Everyone is eligible to move in regardless of whether they have money or not. Building a high-end hotel is not his purpose. Making money is the most important thing.
It’s just that the cost is a bit high, the payback period is a bit long, and it’s also a gamble.
No project is guaranteed to make money without losing money. If no one buys it or Yangcheng does not strongly support it, Jiang Fanlei will definitely be on the verge of bankruptcy.
However, judging from the actions of the Chen Group, this possibility is not very high.
"What a pity. It would be great if it could be completed next year." Chen Yi said.
"Ah?" Jiang Fanlei was surprised, "Why?"
Chen Yi: "I will get married next year, and the wedding venue can be chosen here."
Jiang Fanlei was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I forgot that there is such a thing. It's a pity, it's a pity."
There will definitely be no chance next year, there is simply no time.
The current wedding process has a strong commercial atmosphere. To put it bluntly, it means spending money to buy face and go through the motions. If you can choose a place like Huxin Island, everyone will be willing to go with the wedding and return home happily.
Ren Moyong said: "Chen Yi reminded us, you can make a lot of money from the first wedding banquet on Huxin Island in the future. If you raise the price, or even auction it, it will be in the millions, right?"
Jiang Fanlei said thoughtfully: "It makes sense. For high-end wedding banquets, maybe we can also become a wedding company."
Ren Moyong: "How about I open a wedding company and we can cooperate."
Jiang Fanlei squinted: "Cooperation? You can only dream of it. If you want to cooperate, you have to cooperate with Chen Yi."
Ren Moyong scolded: "Damn! People who are in politics have no time to care about you!"
A few people walked and chatted, and after looking around, they landed off the island.
We had a farmhouse for lunch, it was nearby, and it felt good to eat corn and some stick porridge occasionally. When the south of the city develops in the future, the business of these farmhouses will experience explosive growth, which can be regarded as a great benefit.
In the afternoon, Chen Yifang Shuyu said goodbye to Jiang Fanlei and Ren Moyong, and started living in the world of two people. Since he came to the south of the city, he drove around the surrounding scenic spots and was ready to leave at four o'clock.
When I was leaving, I deliberately passed by Ximei Village and found that a large group of people were still there, but the police car from the Chengnan Police Station was no longer there. I guess they walked away to give a warning because they failed to solve the problem.
One of the two parties is a scoundrel and won't listen to your reasoning at all. There is no other way. As long as there are no fights or other illegal and criminal activities, the only solution is to make peace with each other.
The police would rather help the old lady find the kittens and puppies than be dry-mouthed in this kind of dispute. It would be useful, but the problem is that it is useless at all, and no one wants to take a step back.
In this case, just discuss it yourself. If you really don't want to go through legal channels, let the civil lawsuit determine the final result.
If you go to court with a developer, your chances of winning are too small.
The project manager's head is about to explode now. This job is really hard to do. If it weren't for the high salary... Well, it's not easy to find a job these days to support a family.
"If it were you, how would you handle it?" Fang Shuyu asked casually in the car.
Chen Yi: "Put aside your identity as a police officer?"
Fang Shuyu thought for a while and said, "That won't work. We still need to use legitimate means."
Chen Yi: "It hurts my brain. I'm too lazy to do this little thing myself. Just call someone who can easily solve the problem and ask him to help solve it."
Fang Shuyu: "Who is it?"
Chen Yi: "Meng Yi, isn't that Gou guy a second-rate guy? Meng Yi is a local boss, and he can make the other party behave himself with just one sentence. There is only one way to deal with unreasonable people, and that is to be more unreasonable than him."
Fang Shuyu smiled: "Professional matters should be left to professionals?"
Chen Yi: "This sentence describes... well, very professional."
Meng Yi is now full of gratitude and can't wait to help. If a call really comes, Gou Qiwen will be scared to pee his pants in an hour or so.
Gou Qiwen may not be afraid of the police, but he is afraid of the "big brother". Meng Yi's younger brother's younger brother's younger brother... enough to make Gou Qiwen kneel on the ground and call him daddy.
This is the relationship between people. The reason why Gou Qiwen can still speak loudly to the developer is just because people at a higher level don't want to pay attention to him.
Forget Chen Zhiyao, even the managers of the subsidiary with a little status are too lazy to ask about this little thing. Just leave it to the people below to deal with it. Unless there is no result for a long time, they will take it seriously.
The car drove away.
The three peaceful days passed quickly. Chen Yi had been with Fang Shuyu and had not seen any friends. On weekdays, he chose to work in the Criminal Investigation Detachment and spent most of his time in the forensic room.
When there was no murder case, Fang Shuyu's work was relatively leisurely. She would occasionally do injury assessments and issue assessment reports. The rest of her time was free to arrange, depending on her personal wishes.
With Fang Shuyu's background, no one would add work to her.
Zhuge Cong and his friends were very happy these days. They gathered together all day and didn't know what they were talking about. They also frequently asked Chen Yi where to go next in the group.
Chen Yi was annoyed by Mo Dao and finally gave the answer of Jiangcheng, which triggered a series of expressions and cheers. He suspected that if he didn't go to Jiangcheng, these people would revolt.
The work of the research team is inherently flexible. Gui Dacheng's words were not wrong. There was a lot of fun. If they really wanted to do something big, they would not be a research team.
The night before leaving, Fang Shuyu packed Chen Yi's luggage again. This time she was not unhappy and packed very seriously.
Chen Yi ate an apple and watched from the side.
"Has the relationship between Lin Chen and Xia Lan warmed up?" Fang Shuyu asked casually during the busy process.
After all, they are her relatives, and she needs to care about them.
Chen Yi said: "I can't tell. We are going to work, not to fall in love. That boy is not so bold."
Fang Shuyu asked back: "Didn't you go to the Criminal Investigation Detachment to work?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "I went to work, you chased me."
He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, because he saw Fang Shuyu's dangerous expression.
It is normal for a girl to chase a boy, but the girl will never admit it after being together.
"Did you remember it wrongly?" Fang Shuyu said lightly.
Chen Yi was silent for a while, and left after leaving a sentence: "No, it was you who chased me. I have a firm grasp of this part of memory."
Fang Shuyu shouted from behind: "Think about it again!"
Chen Yi's voice came: "It can't be wrong! Even if the king of heaven comes, it is you who chased me!"
Fang Shuyu dropped the suitcase and stood up, ready to fight Chen Yi for three hundred rounds.
The warm and short night passed just like that.
The next day, Fang Shuyu got up early and went to work, leaving breakfast and helping Chen Yi pack the luggage. Chen Yi's home became a little deserted for no reason.
Qin Fei will come to pick him up at ten o'clock.
After checking the time, Chen Yi fell asleep again. When he opened his eyes, it was already half past nine.
After getting up, washing, heating up the meal and eating, Chen Yi went downstairs with the luggage.
Qin Fei had arrived early and was waiting.
"Captain Chen."
Qin Fei helped Chen Yi put the suitcase in the car, and the two prepared to pick up the remaining five people and go to Jiangcheng to continue the investigation.
...
At this moment in Ximei Village, four or five police cars blocked the village road, and the conspicuous cordon was pulled up, and police could be seen everywhere.
Not only the police from the police station, but also the criminal police and forensic doctors from the Chengnan Branch were there.
Wu Zhengqun was there, and Li Antai, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Chengnan Branch, was also there, including the serious case squadron and the technical squadron.
The forensic doctor was working.
Someone died.
Coincidentally, the dead person was Gou Qiwen.
An early-rising villager passed by Gou Qiwen's home and found him hanging at the door. He was so scared that he immediately called the police.
Outside, a large group of villagers and passers-by watched and whispered.
"Awen was really driven to death by the developer. This... this is too..."
...
"Three days ago, Awen said that if anyone dared to demolish the house, he would hang himself at his doorstep. I didn't expect that he really did it. He keeps his word. Why didn't I realize that he is such a man before?"
...
"Are you praising him?!"
...
"No, let's talk about the facts. You always say that he jumped off the building or jumped into the river. When did he jump?"
...
"Get lost!"
...
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. The person is dead and you still have the mind to argue. What will happen to his mother who is left alone?"
...
"Yeah, hey, pitiful."
Although the villagers evaluated Gou Qiwen as a second-rate person, and everyone was not very sad about his death and even felt a little gloating, it was a human life after all, and people with empathy could not keep their hearts calm.
The village chief looked very ugly. After being questioned by the criminal police, he immediately called the developer and asked what the other party did and said, and why did they force Gou Qiwen to hang himself!
In the eyes of the village chief, Gou Qiwen is a villager and a junior. No matter how bastard he is, he is still one of his own and cannot be bullied by outsiders.
It was just demolition, why did it cause loss of life? !
The project manager was in the company toilet, and was about to squat down in the bathroom. After receiving the call, he was so frightened that he shrank back, immediately put on his pants and rushed out of the toilet, and reported to his boss immediately.
The news reached the general manager's office. The general manager was also frightened and quickly called his subordinates to go to Ximei Village.
Because human lives were lost in demolition, this is a big deal!
"What the hell are you doing! Bastards!"
"Civilized demolition, civilized demolition, how many times have I told you! You don't have a long memory, do you?!"
In the car, the general manager cursed angrily. The head office would definitely know about this matter, and he would definitely be fired if there was no perfect solution.
The manager turned pale and turned to look at the project manager in charge of this matter.
The project manager is still in a state of confusion. After reacting, he quickly explained: "I definitely did not force him. I was very polite. The most serious thing was to unite the villagers to put pressure on him. He...he did threaten to hang at the gate. , but... it’s not like that! It’s definitely not like that! There are many demolished households who are looking for death, but no one actually wants to die.”
General Manager: "What's not serious? What's not really going to die? There are always unexpected exceptions when there are too many people. People are indeed dead and hanged at the gate. You tell me it's not serious!"
The project manager lowered his head, feeling that his job must be gone.
Not having a job is a trivial matter. Maybe Gou Qiwen's death will be blamed on him.
Human life is at stake, Wan Duzi.
In Ximei Village, a preliminary forensic examination showed that the deceased did not have any external injuries on his body, and the marks on his neck were consistent with the characteristics of hanging. It was basically determined that he died by suicide.
Further toxicological testing and gastric lysates need to be returned to the branch.
Trace inspection is at work, investigators are starting to visit, and two police officers are taking care of the grieving mother of the deceased and trying to ask about last night.
The director of the Chengnan Police Station and the captain of the criminal investigation team of the branch stood nearby to communicate.
"Old Wu, he said he wanted to commit suicide?" Li Antai asked.
Wu Zhengqun nodded: "I said that the deceased was negotiating with the developer's manager at the time. He might have been a little excited. He said that if he dared to demolish the property, he would be hanged in front of his home."
Li Antai: "Are you ready to demolish it?"
Wu Zhengqun: "Probably not. That manager is quite kind, not like an unreasonable person."
Li Antai: "Maybe something happened in three days? If there is a causal relationship, the developer needs to bear some responsibility."
Wu Zhengqun: "I don't know then. The village chief just said he wanted to make a call. I guess they are already on the way."
Li Antai glanced at the scene and said: "The height is right, there is a chair that fell to the ground, and the cause of death is consistent with the characteristics of suicide. If there are no problems with the comprehensive autopsy and on-site investigation, it was suicide."
Wu Zhengqun sighed: "I am responsible for not handling this dispute well."
Li Antai: "What does it have to do with you? Today's young people really don't cherish life. Impulsiveness is the devil."
The on-site investigation was still going on, and fingerprints and footprints had to be extracted. It was past eleven o'clock, and Jiang Fanlei, who was driving to the island in the middle of the lake, passed by. Seeing so many people and police cars surrounding him, curiosity drove him to pull over.
There are too many people to squeeze in.
"Brother, what's wrong? What's wrong with calling him Gou?" Jiang Fanlei caught a villager and asked.
The villager replied casually: "He had no chance in the future and hanged himself. Didn't you see that the criminal police came?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fanlei was stunned for a long time before he could react.
"Fuck!"
He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Yi's number. At this time, Chen Yi was already sleeping in the car and should be in Jiangcheng when he woke up.
"Hello?" Chen Yi answered in a daze.
Jiang Fanlei: "Chen Yi, are you in Ximei Village?"
Hearing something was wrong in Jiang Fanlei's voice, Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes: "I'm not here, what's wrong?"
Jiang Fanlei: "That Gou or something, he really hanged himself. If you don't accept it, what are you trying to do? Four or five police cars came."
In the past, the mentality was just to watch the fun, but now it is different. As long as someone is killed, it is a big deal.
Chen Yi was completely refreshed and sat up from his semi-lying state.
"Qin Fei, turn around."
