Tang Ao gave Tang Fei a look.

Tang Fei immediately understood and fell to the ground.

He told Tang Ao's method to arrange accommodation for the workers and let them rest for three days.

After hearing this, most of the workers accepted the Tang family's arrangement.

But there were still a few who were afraid of the female ghost and refused to stay.

Tang Ao instructed Tang Fei to pay them wages and let them leave.

So, the workers who stayed were taken away from the Zhantian College construction site by Tang Fei overnight.

As soon as the workers left, the entire construction site returned to silence.

Tang Ao walked alone on the Zhantian College construction site.

After walking around twice, he did not find anything unusual.

"Take me to the place where I heard the woman crying."

Tang Ao ordered Tang Fei who came back.

Tang Fei nodded and immediately led Tang Ao to a pool in the Zhantian College construction site.

"This place is not far from the dormitory where the laborer took a shower. That night, he got up and ran to the pool to urinate, and then claimed to have heard a woman crying."

Tang Fei told him the information he knew one by one.

"How far is this place from the scene where the laborer fell to his death? Take me there."

Tang Ao looked around and then continued to give instructions.

Tang Fei said nothing and led Tang Ao to a three-story attic.

On the day of the incident, the laborer was carrying a crossbeam on the third floor of the attic. As a result, he lost his balance and fell. The crossbeam rolled over his body and he died on the spot.

"This place is about fifty or sixty meters away from the pool. If someone cried here that night, it would not be surprising to hear it by the side of the pool in the quiet night."

Tang Ao thought about it and then walked into the attic.

Seeing this, Tang Fei hurriedly followed with a lantern.

In the silent attic, only the footsteps of the two people echoed.

Tang Ao's eyes were like torches, scanning back and forth, not missing any details.

On the third floor of the attic, he squatted down and picked up a small piece of black debris with three fingers.

With a little force, the black debris flew away in the wind.

Tang Ao could be sure that this was a small piece of ash left by burning paper.

"Someone came here and burned Yin money here. Is it the family of the worker who fell to death?"

He clapped his hands, stood up and asked Tang Fei.

"Impossible, the family of the worker took the compensation and left with the body, unless they secretly returned later."

Tang Fei frowned.

"Since it's not a family member, then there must be someone else.

The general situation is that someone came to burn ghost money for the dead laborer late at night.

And that person is most likely a young woman. Her crying scared the laborer who got up to urinate at night, and was mistaken for a female ghost.

As for the laborer who died of overwork, it should be a pure accident.

You go to investigate tomorrow. During the period from when the laborer fell to death to when the woman cried, the young female laborer went out and went into the city to buy offerings such as ghost money.

In this way, the truth of this haunted incident can be revealed."

Tang Ao's eyes flashed, and he chuckled and spoke.

Tang Fei was refreshed when he heard the words, and immediately agreed.

The matter was settled, and the two returned to the Tang family.

The next morning, Tang Fei began to investigate whether there were any young female laborers who went out on the day of the incident.

On the other hand, he ordered people to ask the vendors in Laifeng City who specialized in selling offerings.

The young female laborers who went out on that day were brought to Tang Fei one after another, but each of them denied that they had ever bought offerings in Laifeng City.

Moreover, all of them were married women, and their husbands all worked together.

When they go out, they are accompanied by their husbands. Most importantly, they are not familiar with the workers who fell to death, and they have no intersection on weekdays.

In addition, they are all women, and they all say that they don’t have the courage to go to the attic where someone died in the middle of the night alone.

“Could it be that the female worker who burned the ghost money in the attic has left?”

Tang Fei’s expression was not very good.

Not long after, the person in charge of asking the vendors selling sacrificial offerings came to report to Tang Fei.

It was learned that the vendors selling sacrificial offerings in Laifeng City had never sold offerings such as ghost money to young women, but there were several young men.

Now, the matter has completely come to an end.

Helpless Tang Fei could only find Tang Ao again and report the matter one by one.

“Is my inference wrong?”

Tang Ao frowned.

The ashes of the ghost money in the attic indicate that someone did go to the scene where the workers fell to death.

Now it seems that it is very likely not a woman.

If it is not a woman, then what about the young woman crying at night?

Tang Ao also asked whether the family members of the workers who fell to death had returned on the day, and Tang Fei’s answer was no.

There are people hired by the Tang family on duty at the construction site. If the family of the worker returns, they must obtain the consent of the person on duty.

"Take all the vendors selling Yin money offerings to the workers' residence and let them identify one by one for me whether any workers bought anything from them that day."

Tang Ao's face sank.

Now, he is completely concerned.

Now, no matter how the Zhantian College project progresses, he will investigate it thoroughly.

"Brother Ao, do you think someone is deliberately playing tricks?"

Tang Fei couldn't help but mention it.

"It's possible, you do as I tell you."

Tang Ao waved his hand.

Tang Fei no longer hesitated after hearing this and immediately left.

Half an hour later, seven vendors specializing in selling Yin money offerings were taken to the workers' new residence.

Identify them one by one.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

A vendor with a dog-skin plaster on his temple pointed out that one of the young male workers had bought Yin money offerings and other items from him.

The young male laborer had a rough look, thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips, a fat body, and a big waist. He looked like a capable person.

Other laborers at the scene pointed out that this young and strong laborer was a coworker in the same dormitory as the laborer who fell to death before.

Tang Fei ordered people to use money to send away seven vendors selling Yin money offerings, and immediately informed Tang Ao, and then found the strong laborer with Tang Ao to talk.

"Did you burn the Yin money in the attic?"

Tang Ao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The strong laborer confessed and nodded immediately.

His voice was the same as his appearance, just as rough, like a loud speaker.

"I burned it. I have a good relationship with Gou Zi. Burning some paper money to commemorate his spirit in heaven, isn't that okay?"

The strong laborer asked in confusion.

"Then did you hear the young woman crying that night?"

Tang Ao continued to speak.

"It was still light when I bought the money for the ghost. After I burned the money for the dog, I went back.

Besides, there was no reason for me to wait until the middle of the night to go. It's not something shameful."

The sturdy laborer glanced to the upper right, then shook his head and said.

"Do you know that when people lie, their eyes always look to the upper right inadvertently?"

Tang Ao's voice turned cold.
