Lin Xiyan put on a safety helmet and walked inside. She wore relatively comfortable flat shoes. Even so, she almost twisted her foot several times.

Because the work is temporarily suspended, there are no people inside. There are only a few workers looking at the site doing simple waste collection and storage. It looks lifeless.

Lin Xiyan walked up to them and looked around, "Hello, I would like to ask why the work here has been suspended? And I think the development started half a year ago. Why is the progress still at the beginning?"

"Who are you?" The worker stared at her up and down for a while, continuing to move his hands, his eyes full of defense.

Lin Xiyan casually found an identity that sounded reasonable, "I am the reporter responsible for conducting inspections here. I would like to know something about the construction site. You..."

"Go, go, go! I don't know anything, and I won't tell you anything. Don't disturb my work."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a worker. He lowered his head and continued to do what he was doing. No matter how many times Lin Xiyan asked him, he had no response.

Lin Xiyan asked two or three workers intermittently. They basically had the same attitude. Someone must have told them in advance that these things should not be told outside.

Since the workers can't ask, then go out and ask.

Lin Xiyan found a small restaurant next to the development zone, went in, ordered a few dishes, and started chatting with the boss, "Boss, do you know what is going on in the development zones around here? It feels like it has been under construction for a long time and has not been completed yet. It’s very inconvenient to have the road dug like this.”

"That's right!" The boss was very kind and answered her question while wiping the table. "Every time I purchase goods, the car has to go around the back door to get in. Sooner or later I will have to complain to them!"

After saying that, he looked around again, mysteriously sat down in front of Lin Xiyan, and lowered his voice, "Hey, do you know? I heard that people died in this scenic spot!"

"That's why the work has been suspended until now. It seems that this matter has not been resolved yet. Otherwise, the work would have started long ago. I don't know how long it will be delayed for so long."

Hearing the word "dead person", Lin Xiyan keenly noticed the difference between them, and pretended to ask casually: "Dead person? Why is there such a big fuss?"

"That's right! People from the nearby village often come to my place to eat. I heard from them that when this development zone was to be demolished, several families were unwilling to move."

His voice became even lower, for fear of being overheard and getting into trouble, "It's not unusual for a house to have a nail, but the person in charge here actually forced the demolition. Some people argued and refused to come out. As a result, they demolished the house and buried them alive. Inside, he died before being sent to the hospital."

"From that time on, we didn't dare to start construction here. If we were to find out, I would probably lose all the official titles above."

After the boss finished speaking, his face was full of sighs. Hearing them talking about this matter, the people eating at the table next to him also joined in, "I am from that village, and this matter was really big at the time!"

"The family members of the deceased cried and made noise. They carried the body and held banners and burned paper on the roadside. Later, it was said that they were invited away for a talk. After they returned, they were silent again. They probably lost a lot of money."
