If you want to become a professional corpse collector in the Yellow River, it is not an easy task, don't think that a random person can go out in a boat to retrieve corpses, even if the kind of person catches the corpse and earns money, I am afraid that I will not be able to die. Every industry has its own rules, and there are naturally many strange taboos and rules for the Yellow River corpse fisher.

First of all, if you want to become a corpse fisher in the Yellow River, you must have numerology to be yin, and the five elements must belong to water.

These are the two most basic conditions for becoming a corpse collector in the Yellow River. Because it is said that only those who meet these two conditions can have a hard enough life, and walking on the Yellow River will not be pulled into the water by the souls of the dead in the river.

Second, the Yellow River corpse collector must be male.

Women themselves belong to yin, and if they come to engage in this business of dealing with the dead again, they are easily eroded by yin qi, and they will be riddled with diseases when they are small, and their lives will not be guaranteed if they are large. The corpse collectors of the Yellow River can only accept one apprentice in their lives, and they must not overcharge. After selecting the apprentice, the master will take the apprentice to the "corpse pool" and ask the apprentice to have "close contact" with the corpse, so that the apprentice can completely eliminate the fear and timidity of death in his heart.

The apprentice soaked in the floating corpse pool for seven days and seven nights before bathing and exiting the customs.

The corpse pond mentioned here is not a pool for raising dead corpses and cultivating evil arts. Because after the body is recovered and brought ashore, it is impossible for the victim's family to come to claim the body in the first place, so in order to prevent the body from decomposing so quickly, the Yellow River corpse collectors will temporarily store the body in the corpse pool. Mortar pools are usually built in a shaded area to avoid sunlight and keep temperatures as low as possible. And the real corpse digger will also make a very special embalming liquid to ensure the integrity of the corpse.

Although there is no guarantee that the corpse will be like a living person, at least it can be guaranteed that the corpse will be the same as when it was just recovered.

When the Yellow River diggers die, they must be buried in the Yellow River, and they are buried in water, allowing the fish and shrimp in the river to gnaw on their corpses, a practice that symbolizes the integration of the soul into the Yellow River.

In addition to the rules and regulations mentioned above, there are many taboos in the business of the Yellow River corpse fisher. Although these taboos may seem absurd and bizarre on the surface, they are the lessons of our ancestors who bought their blood and lives for them, and you must abide by them whether you believe them or not.

For example, in thunderstorms, do not go out of the boat to retrieve corpses; After the same body was not successfully fished out of the boat three times, it could not be fished again; Every time before going out to the boat to retrieve the corpse, it is necessary to worship the river god, and a big red rooster must be brought on the boat. When the body was collected from the boat, the neck of the big red rooster was cut with a knife, and then the rooster was thrown into the river, which was regarded as a tribute to the king of the Yellow River.

……

When I saw the corpse in the water, I unconsciously thought of this.

The villagers are still whispering:

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know! It shouldn't be from our village. ”

"Call the police?"

"Killed...... Don't call the police!"

"Huh? Uncle Zhou! ”

At this time, I found out that Zhou Laohan was not in the crowd.

Someone called the police, and at the same time, Li Bo and Han Jianjian went back to the village to find Zhou Laohan, what happened, how could the secretary of the village branch not be there!

Soon someone came from the local police station, and when I saw the person who got off the police car, I still knew the fat man who walked in the front, and he also led the team after Lu Jianguo defrauded the corpse that day, and it seemed that he was the deputy director of the local police station.

The fat man also saw me, knew I was a policeman, and hurriedly walked towards me.

"Brother, why are you still staying in Donghu Village!"

I beckoned, in response.

"Again...... Found another corpse? The fat man looked around, and his gaze was fixed on my face again.

"Yes! ...... floating up in the river"

I'll tell you a little bit about what I just saw.

"That'...... Let's catch it first! ”

The fat man asked his men to take out the rope from the car, and with the help of several villagers, pulled the body up. Ground floor

The appearance of the dead body is faintly recognizable, and it is strange that he is wearing clothes, which is a kind of coarse cloth similar to the style of a tunic, which I used to wear by the adults in the village when I was a child, but in recent years, even in the countryside, no one has worn it.

The corpse emitted an unpleasant stench, and everyone around reached out to cover their noses.

The fat man frowned and asked the villagers of Donghu Village, "Do you know this person?" ”

"I don't know...... It looks familiar! ”

"That's right! It's really familiar. ”

"Look! The black mole on his chin ......"

"Ahh This shape of the mole, it turns out that there is a second person? ”

The crowd began to talk again, and the more I listened, the more confused I became, and the fat man frowned again: "Do you know this person!" Can you just do it! ”

At this time, a captain in the village walked out of the crowd: "We should not know this person, but we are all curious, the mole on his left chin is the same as the mole on the chin of our village Lao Zhou, how can there be such a coincidence in the world!" ”

It dawned on me, yes! Zhou Laohan has a diamond-shaped mole on his left chin, which looks very abrupt and distinctive, almost exactly the same as the chin of the dead body in front of him, and what is even more coincidental is that before the body was found, Zhou Laohan suddenly left the crowd and has not been found back at this time.

The fat man glared at him: "There are many people with moles on their chins, what does this mean?" Could it be your village party secretary? ”

The crowd shouted again:

"Why do you talk like that!"

"Isn't this swearing?"

In the midst of a burst of accusations, someone suddenly said: "Not to mention, the appearance and body of this dead body are very similar to Lao Zhou!" ”

Suddenly the crowd fell silent, a deathly silence.

After more than ten seconds, someone said, "No! This man looks younger! ”

Everyone was talking, and Li Bo and they trotted over from the direction of the village.

"Found Lao Zhou?"

Li Bo gasped and replied: "He doesn't have a family or a village branch!" The village also went around, and no one saw him go back......"

"Didn't ask Nono?"

Nono is Zhou No.

Li Bo replied: "I didn't find her either!" ”

The fat man stretched his face: "Leave a few witnesses behind, this matter...... I have to report this to the district......"

More than an hour later, two police cars roared up, Hao Minyuan and Liu Xili walked over, and everyone's faces were not good-looking. Hao Minyuan beckoned to me from afar: "This time I decided to learn from you and just live in this village!" ”

After Liu Xili nodded at me, he walked directly to the corpse, and the two female forensic doctors behind him hurriedly put two boxes containing autopsy instruments to his side.

Five minutes later, Liu Xi stood up straight and muttered, "Strange! How is this possible! ”

Then he changed his tools again and bent down.

Hao Minyuan walked behind him and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?" Liu Ke. ”
