Factory dormitory for several days of stench finally found the source, in the elevator in the underground well found a soaked up male corpse, the whole body all swollen up, can not see the face, only the body wearing work clothes proved that it is a worker in the factory. The corpse was found by the elevator worker called by the dormitory, the elevator worker skillfully controlled the elevator stopped at the second floor, and then opened the elevator door on the first floor with a tool, and then a foul smell came out of the elevator, the elevator worker reached in and took a look, a floating corpse was grinning at itself with blood-red teeth, a small worm burrowed in the teeth, and also swung his head, which made the poor elevator worker in the future lifetime did not dare to Look directly at the worm.

Although there was a fatal case, the leaders of the dormitory were relieved: the stench of the dormitory was finally solved. Since the day before yesterday, workers have been protesting that the factory is mistreating workers, and that the dormitory has been emitting a strong stench, but it is not being cleaned up, deliberately trying to force workers to move out so as to save money, and scaring away several new workers who were going to stay. You know that now this labor-intensive factories are often "labor shortage", young people are greedy to enjoy rather than work, the boss went out every day to find people, there are employees left really big deal. Now, everything is solved, the murder case has the police to deal with, the factory is finally relieved.

However, who was the dead worker in the end?

According to the forensic report, the dead body has obvious calluses on the hands, coupled with the set of well-fitting work clothes, can basically conclude that the factory workers, and also dry not a short time, so the police gave the factory a task to find out exactly which skilled workers are missing. After all, now to work in the factory to be registered in detail, to find out the deceased then you can carry out a search, and also to call someone to transport the body away.

The owner of the factory named Wang Bu Yuan, after receiving the police task quickly called the shift supervisors to count the number of people and find out the whereabouts of the lost workers, but the results are dumbfounding: no one is missing. The entire factory has 3024 workers, three years lost very few skilled workers, only three, and those three people are due to work injuries home, very recognizable, and the male body in the elevator gap is very large.

Then who is dead?

At this time, the factory out of a rumor: the boss Wang not reason for lust for an employee's wife, killed the employee, and then threw the body in the elevator, so it can not find out who is dead. This makes the factory panic, especially when everyone back to the dormitory, always think of the dead man's body, more fear, fear that they become the next, so they have to quit, anyway, now the labor shortage, it is still easy to find a new job.

Who died anyway? In order to stop the staff from resigning, Wang Bu Yuan gritted his teeth and promised to give all the staff a pay rise, and patted his chest to guarantee the identity of the dead man within the next 3 days, which made the staff stable.

"I don't care what you do, anyway, people died in the dormitory you manage, you find out for me in the end who is dead!" Wang Bu Yuan shouted at the dormitory's administrator, old man Fang, who was already more than 60 years old and alone so he came to manage the dormitory to make a living. Looking at Wang Bu Yuan's anger, he had to stammer and nod, thinking about what had happened in the staff dormitory in the past few days.

"Speaking of which, I do think there are a few people who are suspicious." Old man Fang thought for a while and said to Wang Bu Yuan, "Wasn't it the "Care for Staff" event a few days ago? I remember a few people hiding in the toilet, I don't know what they were discussing, but I kicked them out."

"That day?" Wang Bu Yuan thought about it, there is really this thing: "Care for employees" is an idea that Wang Bu Yuan came up with, the fixed time of the year to go to the staff dormitory building to visit the employees one by one, to understand the living environment of the staff, in fact, is just a gimmick, want to sound more pro-people when recruiting. That day, Wang Bu Yuan remembered wearing the staff's work clothes, took the elevator from the 6th floor to visit one by one, remembered that halfway through the toilet once, met a few employees, or they climbed for a while. And the voice of the old man Fang in the toilet to drive people away was also heard by Wang Bu Yuan ......

"Boss, in fact, many people die without knowing that they are dead, right?" Old man Fang suddenly said so, Wang Bu Yuan a shock, looked up and saw a spot on the neck of the old man Fang, heart a cold: not dead is old man Fang, right? Old man Fang is so old, although nominally a dormitory administrator, but in fact, in order to save money, many things are he to do, such as repairing water pipes ah change the fuse or something, the elevator is also bad to a certain extent before calling the repairman, and old man Fang alone and do not talk to people, even if the death is not easy to be found ah. The more Wang Bu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt right, looking at old man Fang's eyes also became frightened, he thought how to run away first, anyway, can not be old man Fang to catch.

"Are you afraid of me?" Old man Fang looked at Wang Buyuan and smiled grimly.

"Well, that's it for the dead body, I have to see a client this afternoon, I'll leave now." Wang Buyuan said he wanted to leave, but unexpectedly old man Fang took a step ahead and blocked the doorway: "Boss, my old man found the dead man."

Now want to go out is not to go out, Wang Bu Yuan thinking about their own expanding business and still in kindergarten children, thinking whether they can break the window out, the office is only on the second floor, even if you go out is estimated to be at most only broken bones, and this dead man to stay in a room is too terrible.

"Boss, don't run away. The dead person is you." Old man Fang said out of thin air.

"Boss, that day you went to the toilet and got into a fight with those few, do you still remember? Those few employees deliberately hid in the toilet and tried to blackmail you after they held you up, but they made you die of a heart attack. Then they threw you into the underground shaft of the elevator and quit the next day, yes, the new ones who quit.

They weren't looking for a job in the first place, good-for-nothing young people who only think about trickery."

"How do you know that!" Wang Bu Yuan was trembling and his face was white.

"Why is my old man alone?! Because I'm a corpse catcher!" Old man Fang looked at Wang Bu Yuan compassionately, "You also have calluses on your hands, you also started as a worker before you became a boss."

Saying that, old man Fang step by step towards Wang Buyuan, fiercely reached out a hand, deadlocked Wang Buyuan's neck, "Wang boss, let me free you", Wang Buyuan feel suffocating sense of strengthening, and constantly struggling but never get rid of, gradually not moving ... ...

"What a good trick." Seeing Wang Buyuan choked to death by himself, old man Fang laughed and shook his head, "obviously dead is old man Fang I ah, I went to repair the elevator fell in, as simple as that, but unfortunately you were confused by me, so simple to send death, boss Wang. So easy to cheat!" Said, old man Fang took out the bag with him and began to Wang Bu Yuan into the bag, ready to take advantage of the night when fewer people thrown into the elevator underground well, so, should be considered a scapegoat found it, old man Fang can go to reincarnation in peace.
