Chapter 41: Still Dead
What's in the coffin? My heart was pounding, my whole body was shaking like chaff, and I couldn't control it at all.
Before I had time to look at it, I was choked by a thicker and more pungent smell and coughed repeatedly, and when I looked down, I was in a cold sweat, and it contained a strange liquid of a half-coffin, slightly yellow, but translucent, and one large, two, and three deformed corpses soaked in the liquid.
I can vaguely identify it as a woman and two children, and they have become specimens when they look like they've been.
I'm going to blow my head off! What's going on? No wonder there was such a pungent smell of formalin, it turned out that there were three corpses soaked here. What is Li Guozhi doing? He's not going to be a murderer!
In an instant, several thoughts flew through my mind.
I was so nervous that I yelled and turned and rushed out, but deep down there was a voice inside me that told me to calm down first.
I want to calm down! I have to calm down first!
I took a few deep breaths, exhaling slowly each time. Li Guozhi hid three bodies in his home, soaked in formalin, the most commonly used embalming liquid, which is commonly used in the herbarium of hospitals, laboratories or schools.
Li Guozhi did this clearly to preserve the corpse...... I glanced at the small bed next to the coffin, could it be that Li Guozhi often slept here - next to the corpse in the coffin?
In this way, these three corpses should be people close to him.
Thinking along this line, I thought of what Aunt Hu and Lao Wang's daughter-in-law said, although the content of what they said was very different, but they had a common feature, that is, they both said that his daughter-in-law and two children were dead, and there were no bones.
Don't...... Could it be that the three people in the coffin, his wife and children? Well, it must be.
The thinking was a little chaotic, but it was not as frightened as just now, and instead it was a suffocating doubt.
My evaluation of Li Guozhi has taken a 180-degree turn, just now I suspected that he was a murderer and a butcher on a rainy night, but now I think he may be an extremely affectionate and righteous person.
The coffin, the corpse soaked in formalin, but where is the evidence? It can't be this thing!
Looking around again, there's nothing else in the room, forget it! It's better to leave first, let Li Guozhi know that this matter is not good, and if he doesn't get it right, he will turn his face with me, he is now the head of the water conservancy station, I can't afford to provoke it!
Quietly closing the lid of the coffin, I retreated outside the house, and immediately glanced at Li Guozhi, who was still asleep, before I quietly locked the door. I was very careful about all this, for fear of revealing any clues, and when I returned to the restaurant, they were still drinking, and they were all stumbling and not the same.
Tossed by what happened just now, I couldn't relax for a while, and I didn't have the heart to go crazy with them.
"What, uncomfortable?" I was sitting on a chair at the door stunned, and Wu Jinghan quietly walked to my side.
"Ohβit's okay, I'm just tired." I replied.
"Then I...... I'll go out for a walk with you! β
The two of them walked out of the gate and walked along the embankment of the Yellow River, and the autumn evening blew very comfortably on their faces, and after chatting for a while, I asked about his grandfather.
"Your grandfather has been living in the village, huh?"
Wu Jinghan shook his head: "He seems to have worked as a security guard before, and the factory seems to have closed down, and then he went home and planted an orchard, what are you asking for?" β
"Nothing! Ask though. I put my hand in my pocket, "That's right! Do you know a man named Liang Gospel in Xihe Village? β
Wu Jinghan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, but our two villages are next to each other, and I know many people in their village!" Who are you asking? β
"Actually, I just met, she looked for my sister and found my dam house." I didn't dare to tell her about Liang Gospel and I spent two nights in the same room, but an experienced senior brother once warned me when I was in school that all women are cautious animals in front of another woman.
I walked along the river embankment for about half an hour, and then turned back, and when I was about to return to the water conservancy station, I tried to hold her hand, I thought that if Wu Jinghan had a strong intention to get rid of it, I apologized and said that it was careless, if I didn't get rid of it, it would mean that she accepted me in her heart, and the relationship between the two would go further.
To my ecstasy, she struggled only slightly, and then I took my hand in submission, and at the same time blushed to the base of her ears and lowered her head to her chest.
Oh my mother! There's a door!
The two of them held hands like this, and neither of them spoke, and they let go when they were close to the door.
Except for me, all the colleagues who lived at the water conservancy station drank too much that night, in fact, everyone was quite tired during this time, and it was good to indulge once.
I was also tired, more than physically, but mainly mentally
Lying in bed at night, listening to the domineering snoring of his new colleague Han Jianjian on the other side, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
I didn't know how long it took, but I heard a woman's cry outside, and I was even more energetic. Who's crying outside? It won't be ......
suddenly thought of the scene in Li Guozhi's coffin, and his scalp was numb again.
I was hesitating whether to go out and have a look, but the sound became clearer and clearer, and it sounded like it was coming towards our dormitory.
"Bang...... Bang......"
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Who!" As soon as I looked at the door, I saw a shaking figure outside the door.
"It's me...... My grandfather has died! Woo-woo-"
Hearing the sound of talking, I immediately heard that it was Wu Jinghan, and hurriedly ran over to open the door.
Wu Jinghan was already crying, and as soon as I opened the door, someone threw herself into my arms: "My uncle called just now and said...... Say my grandfather died! β
Wu Jinghan should have been asleep, and received a call from her uncle in her hometown, as soon as she heard that Wu Baocai had died, she panicked all of a sudden, and only wore a thin pajamas at this time.
I was also wearing only panties, which was embarrassing.
She cried twice and raised her head: "Can you accompany me home?" Please! β
As soon as the word "ask" came out, I was instantly defeated.
"Okay, when?" I thought it was the middle of the night, so I should be early tomorrow morning!
"Yes...... Can you go now? She looked at me with pear-eyed eyes.
"Yes!" Although I was surprised, I replied without hesitation.
I started to drive the black Santana of the water conservancy station again, ran wildly on the embankment of the Yellow River, arrived at Tonghe Village in half an hour, parked the car on the side of the road, and saw a white mourning hall in the courtyard of Wu Jinghan's grandfather from a distance, and I could vaguely recognize a few people walking around.
Wu Jinghan just sobbed along the way, probably because she saw her home, she had mixed feelings, and cried out with a "wow".
Wu Baocai is still dead, which makes me feel a little frightened, Lao Wang's last words, let me come to Wu Baocai, I saw that he was okay a few days ago, I still want to come to him in a few days, who knew that he had an accident at this time.
How do people die? I have a strong suspicion of the cause of death.
When I came to the mourning hall, I saw Wu Baocai lying on a simple bed made of wooden boards, the person was already cold, his mouth was slightly open, and he looked very peaceful.
Wu Jinghan cried like crazy and threw herself in front of Wu Baocai and knelt on the ground.
There were many people on the side, and I was embarrassed to persuade her, so I saw a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman walking over, and one by one pulled her up.
"Don't cry, your grandfather is seventy-eight, and he is considered to be a long-lived ...... in our village."
Who is this man? I am not afraid of being beaten when I say this, if Uncle Wu Jinghan hears it, at least I will be scolded.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jinghan opened his mouth and called Uncle to the man, which made me a little messy all of a sudden.
What a bastard son this is! It seems that he is looking forward to the death of his father Wu Baocai!
Wu Jinghan couldn't cry: "Uncle...... Uncle...... Why didn't Grandpa have it? β
Uncle Wu Jinghan sighed: "Maybe I'm old and a little confused, so I actually fell down by myself, fell into the water tank, and drowned like this." β
