When Lao Zhang heard that it was for the dead, he stood up trembling and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Ma, won't I burn it?" Isn't that bad luck? ”

I also asked, "Then you have a power outage here, how do you receive the order?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the old man will burn you if he tells you to burn it, as long as everything is still in my store, it will be called goods, you kid will help Uncle Ma and me make some goods, where does the bad luck come from?" Uncle Ma looked around at us like a fool: "As for acquiring, isn't it just platform news, I will prepare whatever the platform wants, anyway, the money will be called to me in a lump sum, and there will be a lot of mine." ”

I cautiously asked, "How can the platform even get on the goods like yours here?" Do you know who made it? Why order this at night? ”

Uncle Ma shook his head contemptuously, obviously it was not the first time he had taken on this kind of job, and said, "I don't know, who cares about that, what's wrong with the goods?" The old man has a business license and does not break the law. He paused and said, "What's more, it's normal to ask for this at night, as the so-called 'Hades wants people to die on the third watch, who can keep people until the fifth watch?'" 'It's normal for someone to die in the family during the night. ”

He paused again, as if remembering something, and said: "However, they usually buy nine catties and nine taels of paper money and copper basins and go back to burn them themselves. It is estimated that they are all rich families with high-end decoration at home and are afraid of blackened decoration. ”

I suddenly remembered that the strange old man in the tube building told me that the room was a girl who committed suicide, I shuddered, subconsciously looked at the light, squatted down next to the brazier, and asked, "What if...... What if the person who ordered this has no children? ”

Uncle Ma had an expression that could ask such a question, and said angrily: "There are no children and grandchildren, so who will order and who will burn it?" ”

I said a word to him, and he scolded him enough, and suddenly his anger overcame his fear, and he said: "I have been to this takeaway company during the day, but it has not been opened." The person next to me mysteriously ran out and told me that seven days ago, the girl who rented it committed suicide! ”

"Oh?" Uncle Ma didn't get angry at all about my tone after listening to me, touched the two or three sparse beards on his chin, thought for a while, took out a flashlight from under the coffee table, took advantage of the flashlight, raised his head and squeezed his eyebrows and swept up and down my body a few times, and then asked me in a slow tone: "So, did you still receive a takeaway delivery message at night?" ”

I was a little dizzy by his shaking and nodded impatiently.

Uncle Ma suddenly stared at me with a serious face and said, "Tell me about the day's events carefully." ”

When I saw that he looked unusual, I had to tell him again about the day.

After listening to this, Uncle Ma shook the flashlight and stared at me a few times, and after extinguishing the flashlight, he sat down on the sofa, as if he wanted to stop talking. Finally, I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. It seems that there is something very difficult to decide.

Lao Zhang felt that Uncle Ma was a bit excessive, and said: "Uncle Ma, what are you looking at, this is just like this, it's a bit rude!" ”

Who knew that Uncle Ma was suddenly angry, kicked Lao Zhang with his sandals, and scolded: "What's the matter with you kid!" What are you doing here? ”

Lao Zhang rubbed his back painfully and said, "What's not my business, after many orders, I am now the one who receives the delivery of orders." "I was afraid that I would be kicked again and there would be no place to reason, so I had to burn the paper in my hand intensively.

"it!" Uncle Ma suddenly scolded, and took out the flashlight again, but this time it was Lao Zhang, who was more detailed than me, and swept Lao Zhang up and down like a 3D scan.

Uncle Ma sighed and said, "It's really your business......"

I shook my head indifferently and said, "It's the same as during the day, just hang the door and run." ”

Uncle Ma laughed weirdly: "Hehe, run? Did you two run? Where are you delivering food, this is life......"

"Huh?!" We both lost our voices at the same time. Lao Zhang scolded: "Uncle Ma, it's a big night, don't talk nonsense." You're an electrician, and you're a fortune teller, what are you scaring us for? ”

"What electrician?" Uncle Ma was a little depressed, "The old man only learned electrician when he was young, which does not mean that he will be an electrician all his life." Twenty years ago, didn't I go out from the village to work, when I was working as an electrician in Guangdong, I met a master, and the old man was fortunate to worship under his door. I've been doing this for the past 18 years since I started with my master. After several rounds around the country, this is not ...... I only arrived in this provincial capital three years ago, but it is a little closer to my hometown. ”

Seeing that there were still two or three catties of paper to be burned, he got up and filled his tea jar with hot water, and then sat on the sofa and said to us: "You guys, it's still lucky, if you don't run into me, this little life will be hanging in the balance." Seeing that we were full of astonishment, he waved his hand, pulled up the sleeve of his white shirt in his left hand, and said, "Look at this and you will understand." ”

After that, he stretched out his hand to us, and we both looked at it, and there was a dark black tooth mark on the inside and outside of his left forearm. Around this tooth mark, there is also a dark red strange spell totem that envelops this tooth mark.

Lao Zhang said: "Uncle, I've seen a social person tattoo a raptor flying eagle on his hand, do you have a tooth print?" ”

"You're an old man, this is a tattoo?" Uncle Ma was angry, and said hurriedly: "The old man will tell you about its origin!" ”

"It should have happened fifteen or sixteen years ago, in a small coastal town in the northern part of the coastal region. At that time, there was a night taxi driver who parked his car on the beach and did not go to pick up passengers in the middle of the night, until it was almost dawn, and suddenly drove the car out of control and crashed into a man who was jogging in the morning, and after the man was caught under the wheel, he also reversed the car and repeatedly ran over until the man stuck the wheel...... "He seemed to have palpitations at this point," he got out of the car, took out a large screwdriver from the car tool, and pierced the man's head and neck...... It's like a rotten watermelon. ”

He took a sip of tea and said, "It wasn't until someone passed by, called the police, and sent someone to come, that this driver suddenly collapsed to the ground." ”

"That sounds like a homicide......," I first thought of the vendetta that the driver had with the man, and that he had a vendetta against the man.

At that time, the people who handled the case also thought so, but later they found that there were several things wrong - first, the taxi driver and the man who was killed couldn't hit them at all, one of them was from Hainan and the other was from the north. When asked about the people around them, they all denied that the two of them had any intersection. ”

Lao Zhang was also aroused to analyze the facts of the case, and said: "Is it a hired murderer?" ”

"That's half right, but they found that the taxi driver who came from out of town did not have a large amount of money in his own account or that of his family, and there was nothing of value in the search of his rented place or even his hometown."

"If you hire a murderer without money, it should be a love killing?" I thought about it, and killing people for the sake of feelings is also a good reason.

"No, it's not right to kill love." Uncle Ma said slowly: "After this poor driver sobered up, he realized that he had killed a stranger, and the death was so tragic, he went crazy directly." After all, it is a big case, and experts from the province have come to consult him, so he is crazy, but he can't pretend to be able to pretend to be crazy. ”

Lao Zhang asked: "Is he really crazy?" ”

"That's right, this taxi driver's family conditions are not good, his parents are sick, he has always been cautious in dealing with people, and he doesn't dare to rip off customers like other people, and even a little inferior and cowardly, this is the comment given to him by his colleagues around him. And he is a foreigner, and he has no friends in the local area. Rent a small room on your own. After making money, I remit it back to my hometown every month, and I don't go out after work, and my life is extremely simple. His landlord said he had never brought the opposite sex back. It's all one person in and out. ”

Lao Zhang said: "Isn't that the line of love killing also broken......

I said, "This is a cold case again......

Uncle Ma nodded: "Later, my master took me there, my master was in the mental ward, and used his method to restore the truth of the matter, it turned out that late at night the day before the driver killed him, he got off the car and peed on a sparsely populated section of the seaside, and when he returned to the car and opened the door, there was a wet bald passenger sitting quietly behind the car. ”
