Chapter 13: The Strange Coffin Shop

Although there are shops on the left and right sides of the coffin shop, the doors of the shops are closed. Only diagonally opposite, there is a tea shop open. And this tea shop is also a temporary roadside stall, just to entertain guests coming in from the east gate.

Lu Sheng took Lu Li and slowly approached the coffin shop of Lao Bao, which was filled with about fifty dense coffins. The whole environment is more oppressive than it looks from the outside.

The two looked around, and they didn't see anyone except the brother and sister.

"Is there anyone?" Lu Sheng asked tentatively, "Boss, there is business coming to the door." ”

"Come back, both of you!" a hoarse voice sounded, as if a demon had crawled out of hell calling.

"Boss, how can there be any reason to drive guests out? Are you doing business or not?" Lu Sheng asked again.

"Do business, but not yours. ”

Could it be that he was seen to have a flaw? Lu Sheng said secretly in his heart.

"Why?"

"Because you're not here to buy coffins. ”

"Boss, you didn't even show your face, so you said that I didn't come to buy a coffin? If you really do business like you, I'm afraid that even if you want to buy it, you won't want to buy it. ”

"Coffins are for the dead, and when you buy a coffin, you are naturally a dead person in the family. Miss Childe has a delicate smile on her face, her eyes are clear and there is no sadness, what are you buying a coffin for?"

Quack Quack –

There was a shrill sound of the machine, and the coffin in front was slowly pushed forward. Coupled with this eerie scene around it, what a horror.

"Ahh

The coffin was slowly opened, and a thin figure slowly crawled out of the coffin. It's like a naughty child struggling to climb over a wall.

The black shadow jumped out of the coffin and landed, and it was really a dwarf, only around Lu Sheng's waist. Although he is not tall, Lao Bao looks unusually rough.

With a beard on his face, eyes like brass bells, and a complexion as black as carbon, it takes a lot of courage for such a person to look at him squarely.

What Lu Sheng didn't understand was that Master He actually wanted to marry He Qing to this person?

Even if Lao Bao took out three thousand taels as a dowry, even if Master He was obsessed with wealth, he probably didn't have any ideas in front of the honor in front of him, right?

"You're an old bag?"

"I'm Lao Bao! What are you going to do here?"

Lu Sheng knew that it was impossible to talk to a person who was wary of himself, so he no longer concealed it and took out a token directly from his arms.

"Ask the Criminal Division!"

Ordinary people will show fear when they see the official question, no matter how tough this person's personality is, but the panic in an instant should still be there, but Lao Bao just raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the token in Lu Sheng's hand casually, and then turned around and returned to the back of the counter.

"It turned out to be an official, what do you want to ask?"

"Where were you on the ugly night of the seventh day of the third month?"

"Here!"

"Can anyone prove it?"

"Hehehe...... Lao Bao laughed, but the laughter was even uglier than crying, "If adults can understand it, then these lonely ghosts can prove it." ”

Lao Bao pointed to several places around, as if there were really ghosts hovering on his side.

When these words landed, the Ahri behind Lu Sheng trembled again. Pulled Lu Sheng's sleeve slightly.

"Brother, there are ghost ...... here"

"This official asks you, don't pretend to be a ghost!"

"My lord, your question is not justified. I run a coffin shop, and when I am ugly in the middle of the night, who is not sleeping? Of course I am here, I am alone, how can anyone prove that I have no relatives or friends?"

"This official asks you again, did you hire three thousand taels three months ago to take the second miss of He Fu?"

"Yes, but at that time, I wanted to marry the eldest lady of the He family, but Master He did not agree, but he was willing to marry his youngest daughter to me. I'm thinking about women, so that's why I made a relationship with the second lady. ”

"Later, He Fu repented again?"

"Yes, it's not the first time I've gotten used to it. Lao Bao said that he was used to it, but there was still a trace of shame on his face.

"He Fu was poisoned by someone last month, do you know about this?"

"I know! The coffins of He Fu were all sent by me. Lao Bao replied very simply, with a gloating expression.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's retribution...... This kind of treacherous family should be completely dead. ”

"Oh, that official thinks you are very suspicious of killing He Fu......" Lu Sheng asked tentatively again, his eyes staring at Lao Bao's changing expression.

"Didn't the murderer who poisoned the He family have been caught?

Lu Sheng shook his head.

"Then I understand!" Lao Bao nodded, walked out from behind the counter, came to the coffin where he had slept before, lifted the coffin board again, and laboriously jumped on the edge of the coffin, waving his hands.

Lu Sheng looked at Lao Bao suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.

After a while, Lao Bao jumped out of the coffin, holding two yellow gold bars in his hands. Gently handed it to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng's face suddenly darkened, "What do you mean by this?

"Isn't it just for money, don't adults suspect me of killing people?" Lao Bao's playful expression was exactly the same as the expression of most fart people he had seen in his previous life when Lu Sheng talked about a certain official.

"If you don't accept the money again, the official will arrest you for bribing the court officials. ”

"Then all my money will be confiscated and confiscated? It is said that the prefect of the county order to destroy the door of the house is not false at all. ”

"The official asked you again, did you hold a grudge because you were divorced by He Fu, and poisoned He Fu Manmen at night?"

Lu Sheng once again asked a psychological hint. Because more than a month has passed, the clues that should have been there have disappeared. Even if Lao Bao had more motives or suspicions for killing, Lu Sheng did not have any evidence in his hands.

Even if it is based on He Qing's wound, it is not ironclad evidence. However, if Lao Bao was really the murderer, Lu Sheng would have had some abnormal reactions when he suspected him so sharply.

Asked by Lu Sheng, Lao Bao suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu Sheng's eyes without evasion, "I was divorced by He Fu on the second day of February." You are talking about He Fu was killed on the seventh day of the third month.

If I had done it, I wouldn't have let He Fu survive February!"

The corners of Lu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, what a domineering reason! nodded silently.

"Okay, got it...... That's okay, the official said goodbye and opened the store well, the official just asked casually. ”

Lu Sheng's attitude suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, not to mention Lao Bao, even Lu Li behind him was a little confused.

But Lu Sheng really pulled Lu Li's fox and turned away. In this dark place, Lu Sheng didn't want to stay for a second.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today?, why did you change into a person after talking for a while?" Out of the old bag coffin shop, Lu Li asked Lu Sheng in a low voice.

"After more than a month, even if Lao Bao is the murderer, the clues are gone. If a conviction is based on evidence, it is unlikely. Although my brother speculated that Lao Bao had a major suspicion, this was just speculation.

In criminal investigation, there is such a method, when there is no conclusive evidence, the biggest suspect can be locked, and then psychological tactics can be used to make the suspect take the initiative to expose flaws or clues, so as to obtain decisive evidence or admit it in person.

Lao Bao's living environment and appearance determine that he is a very withdrawn person, and a withdrawn person will be very sensitive in his heart. Brother Fang Cai asked him if he was a murderer, and then left suddenly.

If Lao Bao is really the murderer, what will he think?"

"You should be flustered, right? maybe...... Do you still think you've got some flaws?"

"Yes, once such an idea takes root in my heart, it will sprout quickly. Will he think back to whether he showed any flaws in the process of committing the crime?

And as long as it is done, there is absolutely no perfect case. We look for flaws, far less than the murderer finds his own flaws.

Then, he will take the initiative to see if he really shows his feet, and once he does, it is time for us to make breakthroughs. It's called ...... Lure the snake out of the hole. ”

"Brother...... You're amazing!" Lu Li's mind is still very small, and her mind is very simple, she can't think of such a complicated question, so although she can't understand it, she still feels that it is very incomprehensible.

Lu Sheng and Lu Li did not leave, but sat in the tea shop three or four hundred meters away diagonally to rest. The sun was setting in the west, and the day was about to pass.

Drinking tea, Lu Sheng glanced at the eastern block in front of him, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic in his heart, "I remember when I was a child, it was very lively here, there were all kinds of small restaurants, and there were many vendors walking around. I don't know when it started to become so deserted. ”

"I don't know when? It's not three years ago!" A voice suddenly picked up Lu Sheng's flower wipe, and when he looked back, he saw a middle-aged man smiling at Lu Sheng.

"Three years ago? Not long ago, what happened?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the coffin shop in the distance, "Isn't it this Heavenly Evil Lone Star who is a ghost?"

"What's going on with the coffin?"

"Three years ago, this evil star came to the east of the city, what kind of business is not good, but he wants to do a coffin shop business? At that time, I remember that the shops on the left and right were selling food.

You said that the guests came to eat, and there was a coffin shop next to them, doesn't this mean that you are full and on the road?

The business was getting worse and worse, and finally the shops on both sides couldn't be opened, so I had to move out. ”

"Is it an exaggeration to say that a coffin shop has affected the business of the whole street?"

"It's not an exaggeration, you still don't know the rumors of the Tiansha Lone Star, right? Anyway, as long as you are involved with him, none of them will end well, and the unlucky things will happen one after another.

Gradually, his reputation spread, and no one dared to come to the whole street. ”

"So many people just let one shop? Everyone's temper is not so good, right? Why didn't the old bag coffin shop move away?"

"It's not illegal for people to open their doors to do business, and it's not illegal to sell coffins, so even if they sue the yamen, they can't take care of it, right? ”

Lu Sheng couldn't understand the idea of this era, and if he wanted to change his previous life, this kind of shop where a rat poop affects a pot of porridge, and the government will demolish you in minutes.
