Chapter 9: A Strange Corridor
"That's right, it's her, you know her!"
I really didn't want to go back the way I came, so I took a step and followed the little brother to the farewell hall, although it was not a good place, but there were always many living people, and the yang energy should be heavier.
The little brother in the suit leaned in my ear and advised, "I won't tell you yet, and when I'm done, we'll talk about it in detail." ”
Because of the slight offense he just said, my first impression of him was not very good, so I hurriedly said a few perfunctory words and walked towards the main entrance of the farewell hall.
The farewell hall is a place where memorial services are held, and those who come to pay their respects will enter the place in turn and pay their last respects to the deceased.
I weaved through mourning and flowers, thinking about getting out of this place as soon as possible.
When I walked to the door, there was a congestion due to the large number of people, and I could only wait quietly, and then the conversation between the two men aroused my interest.
A man wearing a peaked cap muttered, "I heard that our boss died a little strangely." ”
Another man with glasses said vigilantly: "Oh, don't talk nonsense, the forensic doctors have examined it, and it was said that it was a heart attack that caused death." ”
"Phew, who believes it, who doesn't know that the boss's vixen secretary is a ruthless character, maybe it's ......" The man in the cap said through gritted teeth as he stared at the crowd of mourners not far away.
I followed the gaze of the man in the cap and saw a woman crying in the crowd.
Although she was dressed in black, her graceful figure was still clearly visible, and her fair and round face seemed to have become an embellishment with tears.
There is such an outstanding woman in the world, even if it is a glance, you can't help but think about it.
"Hey, brother, Sensei, go ahead. The capped man touched me with his elbow.
I came back to my senses and argued, "I ...... I look at the setting of the farewell hall. ”
The man in the cap smiled coldly, and was about to chat with me a few words, when the people in line behind him pushed and shouted into the door, and entered the farewell hall with the man in the cap.
I looked back at the woman a few more times before I reluctantly left.
When I left the farewell hall, I saw a queue of hundreds of people lined up in the courtyard, and after inquiry, I learned that they were all bidding farewell to the deceased inside.
As the saying goes, when a person is born, how many people come to the stage is a test of the friendship between parents. How many people mourn after a person dies, and the test is their own personality.
The grand scene in front of you is enough to show the splendor of the deceased.
I returned to the dressing room in amazement, but I didn't see Shen Yihuan.
The cold and damp powder room makes people feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.
Especially when there is no one, it always feels like there is something in the back, but when you turn your head and you can't see anything, this feeling especially tortures a person's will.
"Shen Yihuan, where are you?" I called out softly.
No one responded, except for the sound of water dripping at the dressing table.
Drop by drop, I heard it so vividly that it seemed to fall into my heart.
I turned around and tightened the faucet, intending to clean up the venue and go to the restaurant early, but the morning came in a hurry, and I was hungry until now, and my stomach was running out of acid.
But even though the faucet was tightened, the sound of water droplets still echoed in my ears.
I stared at the faucet that was no longer dripping, and my heart slowly fluffed, where did this sound come from?
I calmed down, followed the sound, came to a wall behind the dressing room, pressed my ear to it, and heard the sound of water dropping.
No, to be precise, it should be the sound of water droplets mixed with the sound of talking, and the hazy can only listen to a rough idea, as if they are talking about retirement, how long they have been here, and whether they will have a chance to go out in the future.
The voice of one of the women was very familiar to me, as if I had heard it somewhere, by the way, it was the cleaning aunt I had just met in the hallway.
Her voice was a little hoarse and tearful, and she was very recognizable, what was she doing next door? Was that her lounge? But when I passed through the hallway just now, I didn't see any extra room.
"Yang Kui, what are you doing?"
Shen Yihuan stood not far away and shouted, because my attention was all next door, the sudden shouting really startled me.
"Oh, here it is, I'll ...... Take a look at your surroundings. ”
I quickly turned around and walked towards Shen Yihuan, and found that her complexion was very bad, and compared to before, the whole person looked sluggish.
"It's okay, don't move around, didn't I tell you yesterday......?"
Shen Yihuan crossed her hands on her hips and coughed slightly, I stepped forward and patted her back, when the palm touched her back, what I felt was not warmth, but cold and stiffness.
Could it be that Shen Yihuan was tired by the makeup just now, or that there was something wrong with Shen Yihuan in front of him.
After all, I just met another Shen Yihuan, and I kept saying that the deceased was wronged, which one is true? Who is the other one? Or is it not a person at all?
I decided to test the Shen Yihuan in front of me.
"Oh, blame me for not having a long memory, you go and rest, I'm here! By the way, have the families of the deceased given benefits this time? Don't forget to share me, I have to save money to marry a daughter-in-law!" I helped Shen Yihuan to move to the stool next to me.
Shen Yihuan snorted coldly and scolded: "Rabbit cub, what kind of memory do you have, I clearly gave you six hundred yesterday, how can it be three hundred!"
Hearing this, my hanging heart relaxed, it seems that the woman in front of me is the real Shen Yihuan, after all, the money was given yesterday, and the deceased was only sent today.
"Not really. It took three hundred and there were three hundred left. I hurried down the slope to save Shen Yihuan a lot of heart.
Shen Yihuan sat on the chair, looking so tired that she collapsed, I really don't know what she did when I pushed the deceased to the farewell hall.
Shen Yihuan looked at me with a straight face: "Yang Kui, I have something to ask you." ”
I had a sense of foreboding, but I pretended to be calm and replied, "What's the matter?"
"You said that the deceased just now died unjustly, is there any evidence? Or do you guess out of thin air!" Shen Yihuan's eyes were like a sharp knife, making people want to say the answer at a glance.
I was so entangled that I couldn't tell her that I had met someone who looked exactly like you, and that she had said everything.
"Hey, you said this, it's actually not difficult, I used to like to read criminal investigation mystery novels, so when I put on makeup for him, I found that there were many suspicious points on the body of the deceased. ”
At this point, I can only compile in this direction, otherwise I can't convince Shen Yihuan.
Shen Yihuan's big bright eyes looked at me with a wink, and he instantly became interested: "Yo, do you still have this hobby?"
My heart trembled.,It's over.,What I just said is all made up.,My hobby is in addition to watching love action movies in the cherry blossom country.,The rest of the time is spent playing games.,How can Yaxing read criminal investigation novels.。
But fortunately, I've watched some criminal investigation dramas and have a general understanding of the routines in them.
I said, "Actually, it's nothing, first of all, from the people who mourned, the deceased just now must not be simple. ”
Shen Yihuan added: "He is the CEO of a listed company. ”
I continued, "That's right, I didn't find any obvious trauma on his body, and it didn't look like poisoning from the color of his skin. Isn't it strange that I said I had done an autopsy, but I didn't see any marks on the body?"
Shen Yihuan frowned and waved me to continue.
I thought for a while and said: "Actually, the main clue is not what I saw with my own eyes, but what I speculated, who is the biggest beneficiary of the sudden death of a listed CEO?"
Shen Yihuan nodded at me and almost gave me a round of applause.
"Yang Kui, your logical ability is good, you really should be a film and television screenwriter! Okay, let's stop here in the morning, let's go to the restaurant for dinner." Well, just take what you speculate on as fun, don't take it too seriously. Shen Yihuan stood up, twisted his waist slightly, and there was a clicking sound, as if an old piece of furniture was being shaken.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dealt with Shen Yihuan.
There weren't many people in the restaurant today, and the seats weren't as full as yesterday, so I had two vegetarian dishes and just found a place to sit down.
The staff walked into the restaurant one after another, and everyone looked for a place to sit down after eating, but no one sat at the two-person table in the corner, it seems that that position should be exclusive to Sun Baldzi.
"Your name is Yang Kui?"
A plate of vegetables landed opposite me, and when I looked up, it turned out to be the guy in a suit in the farewell hall.
I replied to him: "Yes, I'm Yang Kui, a makeup artist who just came." ”
The guy in the suit sighed lightly: "Hey, my name is Zhou Ming, I'm afraid you're a little troublesome." ”
