Chereads / I am the murderer / Chapter 13 - 13. Ivan Hammer, my brother

Chapter 13 - 13. Ivan Hammer, my brother

The rest is Mike Hammer.

My parents were mine workers, and they both died in a cave-in a few years ago.

But the compensation from the mine didn't come, and Ivan Hammer, my brother, has since

moved to the countryside to pay for my college education.

Since Ivan Hammer didn't have a degree and his family was in a lot of debt, he went to work in

construction.

By doing this job, Ivan Hammer earned my tuition, my living expenses, and paid off some of my

debts.

At the end of the year, Ivan Hammer and I reunited for the New Year in my hometown. He only

stayed until the seventh day of the New Year, and then left some money for me and went to the

construction site.

Before leaving, Ivan Hammer said that the last construction site was finished, and he would go to

the next construction site to work. He said that this construction site paid a good salary and could

earn more money.

A: Who knows this farewell could be forever?

After that, I went back to school, and from the beginning of the semester until the end, I couldn't

get in touch with Ivan Hammer for nearly half a year.

At first, I thought he had just dropped his phone, but then his phone number showed that he was

in arrearage, and then it turned into an empty number. I thought something was wrong.

I also tried to find him during the school period, but I didn't know the construction site where he

worked, so I had to wait until the school holiday. I started from scratch and found the last construction site where Ivan Hammer went, but I found that there was no Ivan Hammer at the

construction site.

In order not to alarm anyone, I entered the construction site in the name of working during the

summer vacation and searched while I was working.

I asked people around the site, but no one knew Ivan Hammer.

I snuck into the office to look at the contract.

I found that almost all the workers employed at the construction site were unregistered. There

were clearly more than 70 workers at the whole construction site, but there were only 20

contracts, and the other more than 50 people were all unregistered workers without labor

contracts.

Just when I thought Ivan Hammer was not at the construction site, I met Sam.

I saw Ivan Hammer's shirt on Sam's body. I remember the shirt clearly. It was originally a

long-sleeved shirt, but I burned the sleeves when I was warming the fire, so Ivan Hammer cut off

both sleeves and made it into a T-shirt.

I don't think we'll ever find another one of those.

So I grabbed Sam and asked him where it came from.

At that time, Sam looked at me and told me that the owner of the clothes had gone away and left

them in the dormitory.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think it was right. So I kept asking Sam.

After a lot of questioning, Sam finally relapsed. He asked me about my relationship with Ivan

Hammer. I told him we were brothers.

Then, with a worried look on his face, Sam told me what he knew.

At that time, the workers on the construction site returned to work one after another. My

brother left his hometown on the seventh day. He should have arrived at the construction site on

the eighth day.

At that time, few people came to the construction site, but in order to quickly build a model

room, let these workers have returned to work.

So the few workers who had already arrived at the site were forced to go out and build the

building.

Sam returned to the construction site in the early morning of the 10th day. When he went back

to his dormitory, he saw that two of his fellow workers had already returned.

They were sitting on stools in mud. There were new cigarette butts all over the floor at their feet.

So Sam asked them.

"What's the matter? "

One of the workers took a deep drag on his cigarette and, through the smoke, said a solemn

sentence.

"The snow is not yet melted, the ground is too slippery... "

The next day, the workers were all transferred to other construction sites, but Sam was not

transferred because he arrived in the early morning.

The transferred workers also want to take Ivan Hammer's luggage with them before they leave,

saying that Ivan Hammer is also being transferred and wants to take his luggage with him.

But when the men take the luggage, they forget Ivan Hammer's clothes, which are hanging on

the balcony.

Sam sees that the clothes are not wanted, so he puts them on himself.These are the things Sam told me.

A combination of things didn't feel right to Sam or me.

Sam smoked a cigarette and said,

"Maybe your brother died on the construction site. "

"I counter:

"Even if he died at the construction site, there must be news. "

And Sam said,

"The construction site is in a lot of chaos, there are a large number of illegal workers who do not

even have contracts, many times it is common to bury people who are dead. Moreover, if this

matter goes to the top, the construction site will be suspended for rectification, not only delaying

the construction period, but also paying a large amount of compensation to the workers' families,

the construction site will certainly not be willing to pay a sum of money to those who know the

truth. The matter is so let it go. "

I was swayed by Sam.

I wanted to get in touch with those workers, but Sam said that those workers were also illegal

workers and had no way to contact each other.

I want to ask the construction site for an explanation, but this is the construction site. If they can

kill Ivan Hammer without giving away any information, then I ask, will they be killed too?

After thinking twice, I went to the police station.
