Chapter 6: Hades Well VI

I don't remember what happened after that, but one thing I remember very well was that I had a somewhat strange dream during the time I was unconscious.

In the dream, I saw Sister Qiu Mei climbing up from the well of Hades.

Even though it was dark in the 'well', I deliberately avoided looking at her pale face and her stiff torso squirming upwards little by little. The color of her shroud was so conspicuous that no matter how much I tried to look away, I could still see her peachy figure clearly.

As she crawled, she looked up at the moon above her head and whispered something to it.

As I was about to climb to the mouth of the well, by the moonlight, I saw something black pressing against her back. It was vaguely a human figure, taller than her, heavier than her, weighing down her shoulders and back, and it was as if it were sitting on a couch, easily leaning its back against her body, and also tilting its head to look at the moonlight above her head.

It stepped off her back the moment she had just climbed out of the 'well'.

Standing on the edge of Hades' Well, it looked even taller, but it still couldn't see it clearly, and only vaguely saw something in its hand, boxy, flashing in the moonlight.

Interestingly, it looks like a mobile phone.

So I subconsciously wanted to see what it was, but at this moment, it suddenly made a jingling sound.

The crisp sound woke me up all at once.

Then he found that he was lying on the bed in the old mansion that he hadn't slept in for two years.

The incense sticks lit in the corner made the air around me cloudy, but it couldn't dispel the musty smell of the room, because on such a hot day, all the windows except for the door were tightly closed. But because of this, my chest was so tight that I panicked, and I had a splitting headache, so I was about to get up and open the window, and when I raised my head, I saw my aunt sitting next to my bed.

I immediately called her, but she didn't hear her, her brow furrowed as if she was thinking about something, so much so that she didn't respond to the two calls I did. It wasn't until the third time she called her that she raised her head in a bit of a trance, and then suddenly woke up, and her eyes turned red.

What's going on?

I was about to ask her when she burst into tears. 'Beitang,' and called my name, and she said to me with tears in her eyes, 'Your aunt is gone...... Your aunt died in the afternoon......

When I first heard this sentence come out of my aunt's mouth, I thought I was still dreaming.

A nightmare that's a little frighteningly real.

But after following her out of the room and downstairs in a trance, I realized that this qiē was actually true.

My aunt has really passed away, and even her mourning hall has begun to be decorated in the west wing of my uncle's house next door.

My aunt said she died of a heart attack.

This is really too difficult to accept, after all, she was still good before noon, except for her poor spirit, she was a little weak. Who wanted to be sent home after fainting after being stimulated by Liu Liqing in the mountains, I thought that at most it was just a rush to attack the heart, and it would be fine after resting for a while, but the body was not stable in bed, and I had a heart attack all of a sudden, and I lost my breath in less than a minute.

Therefore, the moment he got the news, his uncle immediately rushed to Liu Liqing's house with a large group of people carrying sticks. But Liu Liqing was not found, and his relatives seemed to have gotten the news and hid, so Tianda's grief and anger had nowhere to vent, and his uncle almost smashed the Liu family to pieces, and then returned home, holding his aunt's body like a child and crying.

In just seven days, his daughter died unexpectedly, and his wife died suddenly. This kind of misfortune that follows can be accepted by anyone, and who can face it.

So when I ran all the way to his house, I couldn't bear to look at his face.

It had only been a few hours, and his black hair had turned gray, wrinkles crawled all over his originally bright face, and his body was even more terrifying. It was as if it was broken by that great grief at once, and this strong man, who was still strong and tough in the daytime, suddenly became an old man who couldn't even straighten his waist and spoke incoherently, which made people feel sour in their hearts, but at the moment he saw me, he still held up a comforting smile and asked me if my body was okay, if it was better.

Then someone found me a chair to sit on, and he stopped talking, but only bowed up and continued to kneel on the ground, holding the white cloth on the altar one by one. Seeing this, I wanted to go over and help, because I saw that his hands were shaking all the time, and he couldn't hold the white cloth steadily.

But she was stopped by her aunt, she said, Lao Qiu didn't allow it.

'The person lying in this coffin, for decades, every shirt and every pair of socks of your uncle has been sewn and mended by her own hands. Therefore, now that he said that this spiritual platform must be placed for her with his own hands, and no one else is allowed to move, and all of them are not allowed to move......

And just like that, the swing was a whole night.

In the morning, under the compulsion of everyone, he reluctantly agreed to go into the house to rest for a while, but just as the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, just when the uncle staggered back to the back room step by step, someone from the public security bureau came.

I came early in the morning and knocked on the door, and naturally there was an extremely important situation, so my uncle didn't dare to slack off, and immediately greeted him. Who knew the purpose of their coming, but the old man's already weak heart was dealt a fatal blow again, because they asked my uncle to invite Sister Qiu Mei's body out of the Hades Well and give them a new autopsy.

This request is undoubtedly like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, and it exploded in the uncle's yard in an instant, and many people even scolded directly: You people who eat imperial grain! Do you still have ancestors in your eyes? Are you afraid of retribution?!

Naturally, the police are not afraid of retribution, they are purely for business.

But in fact, when they made this request, it could be seen that they were a little unspeakable, after all, they didn't expect that in just seven days, there would be two funerals in the same family one after another.

However, the embarrassment is embarrassing, and the matter cannot be put on hold because of this, so although there are irritable angry scolding around, and even some people rolling up their sleeves and preparing to use a stick to pick up people, they still show their uncle the autopsy permit, and tell their uncle in as tactful tone as possible that because someone spent an afternoon blocking the door of the district police station yesterday, they were writing big-character posters and making trouble, saying that Qiu Mei's death was a grievance, and she did not die of an accident at all, but died of homicide. In the end, the city public security bureau was alarmed, so after research, in order not to let go of any possibility of committing a crime, they decided to re-examine Qiu Mei's body.

When the uncle heard this, he turned his face on the spot.

Although his brother-in-law Wang Chuan on the side tried to stop him, he still craned his neck and slammed his rickety waist pole on the table to grab Bai Dao, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Isn't the death certificate of Qiu Mei's accidental death issued by you people from the Public Security Bureau? Why do you have to re-examine it after listening to a few random shouts from others? Do you still know how to respect the deceased? Do you still have professional ethics? Where do you put your previous test results when you do this?!

A few younger policemen were blushing on the spot.

The veteran policeman was silent for a while, and my uncle and the indignant relatives around me vented their anger first.

It wasn't until the scolding and talking gradually became thinner that they said again: "Uncle Qiu, what you said is right, but the autopsy does not mean that it is absolutely correct, but if there is a slight possibility of error, it may lead to a crime being negligent and a prisoner being slipped through the net, so please be considerate and cooperate with us." ”

"Cooperate? You guys are talking about how to cooperate?? Everyone knows that once this Yama Well is buried, it must not be unearthed within seven days, otherwise what will be the consequences, you are young and you don't understand, then it is better to go back and ask your mother and son, see what they will say!"

"Dad......" Hearing him talk about the back, the more he said, the more he looked lost, Wang Chuan couldn't hold it anymore, hurriedly grabbed my uncle's arm to stop him from continuing to say later, and then smiled bitterly and apologized to the stiff-faced policemen: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for the police officers...... You can see that my mom had an accident today...... So, my dad is really in love with him today, and he is offended in his speech, so please bear with me...... As for the re-examination of my inner body, can we all give in and choose to do it in seven days?"

"Brother Wang," the policeman at the head also smiled bitterly at Wang Chuan: "We also know that there have been some strange rules in this place since ancient times, but think about it, the weather is so hot now, and if you put it into the ground again, what will the body look like after seven days? How much evidence can be left for us at that time? So let alone seven days, we must be invited out today and sent to the real room, otherwise, one more day will cause a lot of losses." If it's the 21st century, are you still going to be blocked by superstition?"

"Evidence! Evidence of bullshit!" The policeman's words made the uncle's temper that had just been suppressed explode again, and he pushed Wang Chuan's hand away, he pointed at them and shouted angrily: "As soon as you monkey cubs put on this uniform, you can only see the fucking evidence with your two eyes! Nothing else matters! The rules handed down by Lao Tzu's ancestors are also gone! Return the people's police! Do you call this for the people?

While scolding, he picked up a stick and drove the policemen out of the door with his relatives, without thinking that they had come here entirely for official business, which was a legal procedure that had to be carried out, just to take care of his feelings, so he discussed with him with kind words.

But to drive people out of the door because of this is really his fault.

So later, without saying a word, a few policemen and forensic doctors came directly, and at noon that day, they went straight up the mountain to the Hades Well, and when the uncle and they got the news and rushed up the mountain, the other party had already dug up the body from the Hades Well and sent it to the post-mortem office.

This made my uncle angry.

That day, he almost seemed to go crazy, frantically crying and scolding at the deep hole that had been dug out in the well of Hades, and scolding a person over and over again, so that he even vomited blood foam.

The person he scolded was Liu Liqing. Because the person who went to the district police station and alarmed the Municipal Public Security Bureau was Liu Liqing.

In the two years after I left, I don't know what happened between him and Sister Qiu Mei, so that he not only broke up with Sister Qiu Mei, but also made my uncle, who originally loved him very much, hate him so much.

And his own behavior is really strange, under the premise that even the Public Security Bureau has issued a death certificate for accidental death, he insists that Sister Qiu Mei died by him, but he can't say who the murderer he suspects is, and what evidence he has to prove it. I only went to the Hades Well on the day of the burial to make a big fuss, and in this way, I indirectly killed my aunt and pushed my uncle's already unfortunate life directly into hell. Now, the Public Security Bureau has been ordered to invite Sister Qiu Mei's body out of the well of Hades for a re-examination in advance. All kinds of actions, whether they are reasonable or not, or whether they really come out of his concern for the cause of Sister Qiu Mei's death, are very irrational and unreasonable.

So I almost drove my uncle crazy, and he scolded him in front of the well of Hades, until later, I finally heard some clues from the intermittent interruption.

He scolded, Liu Liqing! You dog! You took drugs and gambled at the beginning, ruined yourself and ruined my daughter! Now that she is dead, you will not let her go! You are even angry with her old lady! Liu Liqing, Liu Liqing! You brute! They know everything, and they will never let you go! They will never let you go!

After scolding repeatedly for a day and a night, my uncle fell ill in bed.

He was very sick, with a high fever of 39 degrees and 5 degrees, and he always talked crazy every day, always saying that someone pulled his sheets under his bed, making him sleep uncomfortably and remember. So much so that I had to postpone going back in order to give Wang Chuan a hand and help take care of this old man who had taken care of me like a father.

After about five or six days, my uncle's health began to improve a little, and he no longer babbled nonsense, and he no longer cried and cursed loudly at the mention of Chumei.

But on the afternoon of the seventh day, the Public Security Bureau suddenly came again.

This time, he came directly to handcuff Wang Chuan away.

said that they wanted to cooperate with the investigation to find out whether he really had nothing to do with Sister Qiu Mei's death, because they found some new evidence in the autopsy, and I am afraid that it can be completely confirmed that Sister Qiu Mei's death was killed by him.

This incident instantly caused an uproar in the village. It turned out that there was really another reason for Qiu Mei's death? But since he said that he was only cooperating with the investigation, why did he handcuff and take people away? Do they doubt that this honest man, who usually doesn't even dare to speak out loud, would actually kill his wife and her own flesh and blood in her belly?

Just when everyone was talking in disbelief, another policeman found me that day, carried a file bag, and handed it to me: "You are Qiu Mei's cousin Qiu Beitang, right?"

"Yes. ”

"I found it in the Well of Hades, and after reading the information in it, it's yours. The quality is pretty good, and the screen doesn't even break when it falls so high, so this time I have to put it away. ”

With that, he left.

When he left and opened the file bag, I couldn't help but be stunned.

What's in it is my phone .......
