Chapter 76 Encounter Again (Seeking First Order!)

Looking at the eerie green light on the dead body's arm, Fanning wanted to continue pulling down the blanket to check the poor worker's face and other parts.

But he chose not to do so.

It's not that I'm afraid of seeing the scene where the jaw of the corpse disintegrates and falls off. No matter how exaggerated the scene is, it can't keep up with the deformed appearance of Professor Lorraine Brownie.

He just didn't want this middle-aged man who was more sad than heartbroken to suffer another psychological injury.

Fanning stared at the arm, and suddenly caught another detail.

He asked without looking back: "Polis, you just said that Lianka's salary is much higher than yours?"

The industrial workers in this area are all employed by the Jinlangia Machinery Manufacturing Factory, and are engaged in repetitive labor on various product production lines.Poles should be over 35 years old. Due to physical and mental problems, he may be subject to some salary cuts. After all, in the empire, there are too many labor forces in such a big city. Every year, a large number of young and strong rural youths flock to Uv Lancel.

But in this era, men and women are paid differently for equal work. No matter what, his salary cannot be lower than that of his eldest daughter.

The laborer Poles replied: "It happened later, she was transferred to work in another production line."

"Another line? So what's going on?" Fanning asked.

"The specific situation is kept confidential according to the requirements of the company, but the employer frankly stated that the new position may have a great physical and mental strain. They consulted the wishes of the workers and offered a frighteningly high salary standard."

"There is a lot of physical and mental strain..." Fanning repeated the laborer's description, "then why don't you suggest that she refuse?"

Polis continued to chatter in a low voice, his voice was inaudible: "When I was young, I could earn 4 pounds a month... Now that I am physically weak, I can only receive a salary of 3 pounds... A big family needs to make ends meet, children And the old man still needs medical treatment... and the salary they offer is calculated according to the method of the middle class, and the weekly salary is only 5 pounds. At that time, I almost suspected that Lianka heard it wrong..."

"She is very sensible, knows how to take responsibility, and knows how to share pressure... But at the beginning, I thought that the worst result would be to lose ten years of life. Compared with immediately earning several times higher income, ten years of repeated labor day after day is not enough. It will make life happier... If it weren't for the factory employing a certain age limit, I myself would like to sign up... But if I had known that the matter was so serious and the progress would be so fast, I would definitely not let her go..."

In addition to the blunt sadness in his tone, there was also a trace of bewilderment and regret.

Fanning frowned deeply.

……

"The fifth one."

After walking out of another door, Du Pont took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was seven o'clock in the evening.

The three of them shuttled back and forth in these double-row workers' housing areas, and visited the investigation list that was included in the plan in the early stage.

According to the self-reports of family members, the reason for the dream is almost the same, all because of the vivid sharing of experiences by neighbors or co-workers in daily chats, including the description of the face of the strange man.

And the circumstances of the deaths in recent days have something in common.

They all started from some common physical discomforts that appeared about three months ago and gradually worsened.

Several family members said that the deceased had been consulted for personal opinions and transferred to a new production line position, and the factory had emphasized the risks and rewards. According to their descriptions, everyone felt that the employer's attitude was generally "open and honest". But I didn't expect things to progress so quickly and viciously.

Among the five, three female workers died from bleeding and swelling of the gums, ulceration and loss of the jaw, and finally infection or hemorrhage to death.One male worker fainted due to anemia, and the other suffered from joint pains to systemic fractures, and later died of acute multifunctional organ failure.

Corpses fluoresce in dark places, varying in intensity and color.

On the contrary, this bizarre death incident itself seems to have no connection with the "Meng Nan" incident.

DuPont looked up and looked in front of the narrow alley. In the night sky in the distance were chimneys, and the billowing black smoke they emitted was scattered orange-red by the lights of the factory area.

"Let's go to the factory and have a look. I've contacted their boss." DuPont waved his hand, "But... this company has a lot of products. If we kept such strict secrecy, it would be difficult for us to lock down the existence of that line tonight. Weird production line."

"It's just a matter of spending more time investigating later." Lawyer Monroe's voice was as polite as ever, "As long as it doesn't take too long, even if they notice trouble, they won't be able to immediately transfer a production line that has been put into production."

Jinlongia Machinery Manufacturing Factory is a comprehensive enterprise manufacturing mid-to-high-end household machinery products in South Dock District.

In recent years, they have realized the industrialization and marketization of a large number of emerging utility patents. Through a series of means of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, many objects that were originally popular only in wealthy families have become approachable and have entered the middle-class vision.

Three gentlemen and two policemen walked through the courtyard-style workers' residences in this area. There were more than ten commercial buildings in a row at the corner of the street that were rented out as the administrative offices of the Jinlongia Machinery Manufacturing Factory.

A large area of ​​warm light inside the glass floor-to-ceiling windows illuminates the street. Stanley, the factory owner, and a young woman sit and chat under a parasol by the steps. On the table, there are delicate snacks from the reception bar. and cocktails.

"Good evening, respected Mr. DuPont, Mr. Monroe." Watching DuPont and his party walk in, Stanley stood up and bowed.

The industrial gentleman is wearing a more formal padded suit, and the shiny Gugova limited-edition belt stretches his round belly tightly.

DuPont responded lightly and continued to produce documents according to the workflow.

This classical guitarist showed a melancholy and approachable quality in front of teammates with knowledgeable people, but he was almost indifferent and rigid towards outsiders.

Stanley laughed until his beard trembled: "You don't have to be so serious, do you need something to drink and rest?"

"Julius?" Fan Ning's gaze fell on this beautiful woman in a purple woolen coat and high leather boots from the very beginning.

It was the principal violinist of the Saint Lania Symphony Orchestra that I met at the door of the Prudence Auction House last time.

What's going on, I recently bumped into this guy on other occasions outside of school?
"Dear daughter, do you know the officer?"

Stanley wanted to organize the conversation and continue to chat with Dupont, but when he saw that the two people looked at each other strangely, he immediately asked Julius with a smile.

"It's my classmate." Julius responded to her father, and after a few seconds, she burst into a sweet smile:
"I didn't expect to meet you on a beautiful Sunday night, Mr. Fanning, and several officers, welcome to guide our family business."
