Chapter 167: Bai Jie's Father Is Still Alive?
Uncle Cousin was quite calm at this time, and his emotions did not seem to be affected by the environment here.
Uncle Cousin used to be in the coffin business, and ordinary coffins were not a thing at all in Uncle Cousin's eyes.
Uncle Cousin's eyes fell on me, and he said, "Xiaoyue, this is wrong, the coffin seems to be empty." ”
As my cousin spoke, his hand did not rest, and the sound of raising his hand and clapping it on the coffin soon sounded.
Bai Jie and I listened to my cousin's words, and my heart hung in my throat, and I quickly reacted and said to my cousin: "Uncle cousin, don't you joke!?" ”
Uncle Cousin said angrily: "Xiaoyue, what kind of joke did I play with you in the cemetery this big night, I don't believe you came to see." ”
A look of surprise also appeared on Bai Jie's face, and I took Bai Jie's hand and walked forward.
Bai Jie didn't resist, when we got closer, my cousin raised his hand and patted the coffin board again, and then my cousin said to me, "Xiaoyue, don't you believe what your cousin said?" Uncle Cousin will open the coffin now, and you also know that Uncle Cousin has been selling coffins for a while, but he has no experience at all, so Uncle Cousin is in vain. ”
In fact, when my cousin said this, I already believed him.
Even so, my eyes fell on the lid of the coffin, and I wanted to see if there was a body inside the coffin when it was opened.
Or is the corpse already white and not as heavy as before?
After all, after death, the water on the body will basically run dry.
Bai Jie was obviously a little nervous at this time, and the strength with which she grabbed my hand had become even greater.
Uncle Cousin didn't delay any longer, and looked at me and Bai Jie with interest.
Then Uncle Cousin lifted the coffin, and when the coffin was opened, Uncle Cousin also shouted and screamed, and suddenly Bai Jie was frightened and hugged me directly.
Bai Jie couldn't do it in a panic.
I was also taken aback by my cousin's coldness, and my face couldn't help but turn a little pale.
Bai Jie would hide in my arms, her body seemed to tremble, and my cousin threw me a look.
Me: "......"
I was a little speechless to my cousin, and I thought to myself, my cousin can really be indecent at any time.
I patted Bai Jie's back gently, and I said to Bai Jie, "You don't have to be afraid, it's okay." ”
I calmed Bai Jie's emotions, and slowly Bai Jie left from my arms, and my eyes also fell on the coffin at this time, sure enough, the coffin was the same as my cousin said, there was no corpse in it, and there were no white bones.
Bai Jie also saw the situation in the coffin clearly, and Bai Jie said to me: "Xiaoyue, is my father really not dead?" ”
Bai Jie's face was solemn, her eyes flickered, and she looked shocked.
I'm actually very curious in my heart, since Bai Jie's father is not dead, why does Bai Jie's father pretend to be dead?
And the plan is so thorough, if it weren't for that letter, which left a flaw, we might not be able to know if Bai Jie's father is dead?
I stared at the empty coffin and lost my mind, and when I came back to my senses, I said to Bai Jie, "Isn't it a good thing that your father is not dead?" ”
Bai Jie's emotions were a little complicated, and she probably didn't know how to answer me, and she didn't speak in the end.
My cousin patted the dirt on his hands, and he said to me: "There is an empty coffin buried in this grave, it is really a tyrannical thing, how expensive the cemetery is now, any cemetery will cost hundreds of thousands." ”
I don't bother to pay attention to my cousin, who likes to pull calves when he's fine.
I thought about it and said to my cousin, "Cousin, tonight's events must be kept secret. ”
Uncle Cousin looked at me and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter secret and will not leak anything, Xiaoyue, Uncle Cousin's mouth is notoriously strict, so you don't have to worry about this." ”
I knew that my cousin was a talker, and I might not have to worry about others, but my cousin was really worried.
However, my mouth is on my cousin, and I can't stare at him every day, I can only hope that my cousin can really keep it a secret.
Uncle Cousin also said at this time that the quality of this coffin is really good, you see that it has been buried for at least some years, but it is not bad at all, if it is an ordinary coffin, it will have rotted a long time ago.
Uncle Cousin also said with a regretful face, if this coffin can be made, it will be at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and it is a luxury for a rich person to die.
My cousin continued to talk nonsense at night, and I couldn't help but say to my cousin, "Cousin, cover the coffin." ”
My cousin listened to my words and nodded, but when the coffin was covered, my cousin said to me: "Xiaoyue, there is no one buried in this coffin, otherwise this coffin will be dug up and subsidized our living expenses......"
I looked at my cousin whitely, and said to my cousin a little speechlessly: "Cousin, what are you subsidizing, you are not short of money now, hurry up and cover it." ”
To put it mildly, Uncle Cousin covered the coffin and laboriously filled it with soil.
Bai Jie asked me at this time: "Lin Yue, you said that my father is not dead, where will he go?" ”
Bai Jie's question immediately made me speechless.
"It's hard to say, but your dad left a key, maybe that key is the key to finding your dad."
Bai Jie nodded.
In fact, I was still thinking in my heart at this time, judging from the time when the letter was signed, it was about two months ago, so if it was two months ago, does it mean that Bai Jie's father has been living in this city and has not left.
So why didn't Bai Jie's father show up, could it be that he was also hiding from something?
Or is there really an enemy in Bai Jie's family?
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of another thing, the person who was hiding behind before had always wanted to attack Bai Jie, but since he disappeared last time, this person has never appeared.
didn't continue to do anything to Bai Jie, I wondered if it was because Bai Jie's father had made a move halfway to suppress the people behind him.
I'm thinking about these things, but for now, they're just thoughts, and I don't have any evidence right now.
I took a deep breath and adjusted my breathing.
Then we left the cemetery.
I got into Bai Jie's car, and my cousin drove behind.
Bai Jie, who was driving, was a little distraught, I paused for a while, and said to Bai Jie: "Bai Jie, I suspect that your father may have been with you all the time?" ”
"What?" My words immediately made Bai Jie's emotions become excited.
I saw that Bai Jie was so excited, so I repeated what I just said.
"Lin Yue, can you help me find my father?"
There was expectation in Bai Jie's eyes.
I saw that Bai Jie was distracted by driving, and I couldn't help but remind Bai Jie: "Bai Jie, you drive first, and then we will talk about it when we get to the city." ”
Bai Jie responded gently, it may be that Bai Jie is in a hurry to go back to the city, so this time it only took us half an hour to get to the city, and it took another twenty minutes to get from the city to my house.
I got out of the car, took out the keys and opened the house.
Bai Jie and her cousin followed, and Bai Jie was obviously still waiting for me to say the following.
I didn't delay, and then said to Bai Jie: "Bai Jie, where do you think your father is most likely to go if he is still in this city?" ”
