Chapter 228: Sleeping in the coffin of two people
In the middle of the coffin shop is a coffin with a lid on. A couple of guys were still there polishing the planks.
Although the smell is very good, many people feel uncomfortable when they enter the coffin shop as if they are in a pile of dead people.
Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong hadn't walked into the coffin shop yet, and a guy in the coffin shop stepped forward with crooked lips and squinted eyes, and said to Song Ruilong very respectfully: "Is the guest officer going to book a coffin?" Our coffin keeper here is satisfied. ”
Song Ruilong smiled bitterly, and before he could speak, the guy said again: "Does the guest officer want to book one or two?" Do you want to sleep two people in a coffin? Or do you want to sleep alone in a coffin? ”
Song Ruilong asked a little strangely: "Can the pipe you make sleep two people?" ”
The guy smugly said, "Of course." As long as the guest officer likes it, it is to sleep ten people, and we will do it. ”
Song Ruilong opened the fan and fanned it gently, and said, "I want to ask, how do you explain that you said that there are two people sleeping in this coffin?" What do dead people do with coffins that big? ”
The guy squinted his eyes, chirped a few times and said, "Hey, I said guest officer, you are really rare and strange, this person is dead, and he must want a coffin, but if two people die at the same time, isn't this a coffin that can sleep two people?" ”
Su Xianrong was surprised: "You're talking about the coffin of a husband and wife, right?" ”
The guy's eyes looked at Su Xianrong and said, "This girl is still smart." ”
Song Ruilong said strangely: "It's rare for this husband and wife to die at the same time in one day, is it true, after one person dies, make a pipe that can sleep two people, and then keep it for the person who is not dead?" ”
The guy's mouth grinned, and he said, "This guest officer is really uninformed, this husband and wife coffin is not made for couples in pairs, it is for..." The guy's eyes squinted at Su Xianrong, "Girl, you are so smart, I think you must know what this husband and wife coffin is used for." ”
Su Xianrong's eyes lit up and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your husband and wife coffin is used by the living to marry the dead, right?" ”
The fellow said proudly, "Yes, yes, yes, it is for the dead to be married to the dead." Some people will find the other half as soon as they die. ”
Song Ruilong was surprised and said, "Looking for the other half?" What do you mean? ”
The fellow said, "It's to find a dead man to marry." Generally, this kind of thing is when the man dies, and he has not had time to marry a wife before his death, and the parents of the deceased will spend a lot of money to buy a dead woman from someone else to marry him, so he needs a large coffin that can lie on two people. ”
Song Ruilong said: "But, what if that family can't buy the corpse of a dead woman? ”
The guy said, "It's hard to say. It's hard to say if you can't buy it. ”
Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "It's hard to say if you can't buy it?" ”
The guy was a little angry and said, "Hey, I said that the guest officer, are you here to customize the coffin or to inquire about our internal information?" If there is nothing else to do, let's go quickly, and don't delay our business. ”
After Su Xianrong showed the waist card of the tolerance case to the crooked guy, he said: "We are the tolerance of the yamen, call your boss out, we have a few words to ask him."
The squinted-eyed guy's tone quickly softened, and he said, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll call our boss out."
The squinted-eyed guy walked up to a coffin in the middle of the shop, knocked a few times, and said, "Boss, someone is looking for you."
Su Xianrong walked to the coffin and said, "Is your boss a dead man?"
The lid of the coffin was suddenly pushed aside by a person, and then a man in his forties sat up from the coffin, with a mustache, and said very angrily: "Who said I was a dead man?"
Su Xianrong showed the waist card of the tolerance case to the person, and said, "You are the owner of the Niu Ji coffin shop?" Come out, we have a few words to ask you. ”
The man slowly descended from the coffin to the ground and said, "I am Niu Dazhuang, just ask if there is anything wrong with the messenger."
Su Xianrong said: "Let me ask you, has anyone ordered a coffin here for you recently, which was to be used last night."
Niu Dazhuang thought about it honestly and said, "Oh, there are two of them." Niu Dazhuang stretched out two fingers, "One is Dong Yunheng's family in Qingyun Lane, Tieshi Road, and it is a high-quality coffin, which is made of sandalwood." This second person was wanted by Li Zhendong, a wealthy businessman in Youlan Lane, Pingyun Road. ”
Niu Dazhuang took out the account book as he spoke, turned to the page of Dong Yunheng and Li Zhendong, showed it to Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong, and pointed to Li Zhendong's line with his finger, and said: "Two messengers, please look here, this is a coffin custom-made by Li Zhendong, a double coffin, made of nanmu."
Song Ruilong said: "Did the coffins that the two of them made last night use them?"
Niu Dazhuang said: "This Li Zhendong came to order it at dawn yesterday, and said that it was very urgent and should be used at night when the lights were held." The directors were even more anxious, they came over to order it at the right time, saying that it would be done before the time of the child. ”
Song Ruilong said: "Then did they say who was going to use the coffin?"
Niu Dazhuang pondered and said: "This Dong Yunheng's family only has two daughters, and his wife passed away in March last year. I don't know. And this double coffin set by Li Zhendong is a bit special, but, according to my speculation, it must be Li Zhendong's son who died. Li Zhendong's son is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he has not yet married a wife at a young age, but his body is like dry firewood, which is terrifying. It's really accurate, yesterday Li Zhendong sent someone to order the coffin, I think it must be Li Zhendong's son who has arrived. ”
After Song Ruilong learned the news, he said to Su Xianrong with some excitement: "Rongrong, let's go, let's go to Li Zhendong's house in Youlan Lane."
After Su Xianrong said "thank you" to Niu Dazhuang, he and Song Ruilong came to Li Zhendong's house.
There was a white cloth hanging in front of the vermilion lacquer gate of Li Zhendong's house, and it seemed that he was really dead.
The door was not closed, and after Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong explained their intentions, a man wearing a white cloth led Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong to a very gorgeous room.
There was a man in his forties in the room who saw Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong coming, he got up very respectfully, and said with some sadness: "Xiaomin Li Zhendong, I have seen two messengers, I don't know what to do with Xiaomin?"
