Chapter 63: The Strange Dead
Half a month ago, a person died in the countryside under the jurisdiction of Tianming City, which is not unusual in normal times.
However, in the past few years, the state has called for cremation, which is undoubtedly a blow to rural people, especially the elderly, who have always paid attention to the safety of entering the earth.
The local public security bureau went to carry out ideological education again and again, but their family members were unwilling to live or die, and even united with some elderly people to protest.
The police can't enforce the law violently, and at the same time they stop the coffin and don't let it into the ground, so the stalemate is until the first seven, and the first seven have passed at a glance, and the dead man has not yet entered the ground, thinking that it is easy to get into trouble if he doesn't enter the ground, so he plans to ignore the police and stop it, and go directly into the ground.
Late one night, the family planned to hire a few strong men to carry the coffin to the original location and bury it.
But some people are very resistant to carrying the coffin at night, these people usually belong to the bold kind, but when they hear that the coffin is carried up the mountain at night, several people are a little hesitant.
After all, when they usually carry the coffin, they take advantage of the noon yang qi to carry it, and they have never done it at night, and the host family sees them hesitating, and also knows that they are taboo about some things, so they say that they will invite them at twice the price.
This made them hesitate, after all, the price is not low. In the end, one of the older of them took two puffs and stepped on the cigarette butt.
"I'm afraid of a ghost, we took your order" After the sentence was finished, others also showed ruthlessness, who still can't get along with money?
So after discussing the price, the host said that the coffin would be raised the next night and carried to the mountainside next door, and other matters would be handled by their family.
After the discussion, the host's family left with a smile, and several big men didn't tell the family about it.
The next day, the police came to the family again to educate them, but this time the family was very talkative, saying that they should not go against the government and should cooperate with the government's work.
These words confused the policemen who came, why did the family disagree with it the day before, and today they have become so positive, but whatever it is, as long as they complete the tasks given above.
But the family said that it would definitely not work to burn it now, after all, this was against the will of the ancestors, let them burn incense for two more days to atone for their sins, and the police heard the same reason, so they said that they would bring someone from the funeral home to pull the body the day after tomorrow.
As soon as the police left, they were busy, preparing to bury the body tonight, and it was impossible that they would dig it up.
When night fell, the big men carrying the coffins went out, and the family asked them what they were doing at night, and they all said that the brothers shouted to go out to drink, and the family did not suspect it, but just asked them to pay attention to safety.
After they met at the entrance of the village, they went straight to the dead man's house, knocked on the door three times, and then opened the door inside, and the whole family was ready to wear linen and filial piety, and several of them drank a few sips of spirits, and took advantage of the alcohol to strengthen their courage, and prepared to carry the coffin and set off.
Because it is buried secretly, the suona blowing on the road is saved, and even shouting the soul, that is, shouting a sentence when carrying the coffin is saved. Some took advantage of the darkness to walk halfway up the hill next door.
The paper money rattled in the air, mixed with the creaking sound of carrying the coffin, which looked very permeable in the white moonlight.
Carrying these people, they found that something was wrong, usually they often carry the coffin, but why this time the coffin is getting heavier and heavier, this is definitely not that they have no strength, but they really feel heavy.
"Big tooth, how do I feel wrong, I've been blowing cold wind behind me" The big man on the left front of the coffin felt a chill in his back.
"Maybe it's the night wind" beads of sweat began to appear on the heads of several people, and the one known as the big tooth was the big man on the right, that is, he decided to carry the coffin.
At this time, he also felt that a cold wind was blowing behind him, and he now felt that his scalp was numb, and he had carried the coffin for so many years, and it was not that he had never encountered strange things, but this time it was really evil.
In the end, he was finally lifted to the mountainside, but nothing happened, and finally he thought that they were all from the same village, so he helped to put the coffin in the earthen pit, covered it with soil, kowtowed three times, and went home.
Unexpectedly, after a few of them went home, they felt a pain in their shoulders, and at first they thought they were tired of carrying the coffin, and they didn't care much, but the back became more and more painful, and their shoulders began to swell.
They went to the hospital for a check-up, but found that nothing happened. And as soon as I entered the village, I found police cars and ambulances parked at the entrance of the village.
When I asked, I found out that the dead man's house was dead again.
It turned out that the police brought people from the funeral home to pull the body, but they were told that the body had been buried, and if they had the ability, they would dig it up and burn it.
The policemen saw that the surrounding villagers were looking at them fiercely, as if they dared to dig up the coffin, they would not want to stand and walk out of the village.
The police saw that they had no choice but to go back, and at this moment the owner of the house suddenly let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground and convulsed twice before he lost his breath. His eyes bulged, his tongue sticking out, and his face was bruised.
Some women hurriedly covered their children's eyes, some old people muttered something, and the family reacted and threw themselves on the corpse and cried loudly.
Several policemen hurriedly pulled away, comforted them, told them not to destroy the scene, and at the same time contacted the bureau to arrange forensic doctors to come over.
So when these people came back, they saw this scene.
Soon the results of the forensic autopsy came out, saying that the cause of death of the body was suffocation, and the method was choked by someone's neck. And the finger marks on the neck were examined, and strangely enough, no one saw who did it at the time.
The police began to investigate, but the villagers avoided it. This brought the investigation to an impasse for a while.
But the incident of the dead did not stop there, and that night the wife of the master's family fell on the knife of cutting pigweed, and just stuck her neck on it, and the blood stained the ground red, which caused panic among the villagers, especially the four men who carried the coffin, and their shoulders became more and more painful, as if something was pressing on their shoulders, swollen and blue.
Two people died inexplicably in a row, this matter had to be taken seriously, and the local police station immediately set up a task force, but there was no clue at all, these can be said to be accidents.
It was at this time that the third case occurred, the son of the family fell into a well and drowned, but this time the autopsy found a black handprint on his back.
Four men reported that they had the same handprints on their shoulders. The medical examiner rubbed down these handprints for comparison, except that there were no palm prints, these handprints were exactly the same.
The director of the local police station looked at the file in front of him, smoked a few cigarettes, picked up the phone and reported it to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Li Bing went to the village to visit and investigate, and ruled out vendettas, love killings and other reasons, but Li Bing did not find nothing, he found that the earliest deceased was only in his forties, and he was insured a huge amount of money before his death.
This incident allowed Li Bing to find a breakthrough point, and he inquired many times to figure out what happened.
The one who died first was called Zhao Yue, and his younger brother was called Zhao Song, who died of suffocation. Zhao Yue has congenital heart disease, and he has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he can't do any heavy work at all, so no woman in his forties has taken a fancy to him, and Zhao Song has been strong since he was a child, although he went out to work before graduating from high school, he still married a wife.
Before their parents died, they asked Zhao Song to take care of their brother, not to mention letting him rely on himself, at least there will be a corpse collector in the future. Zhao Song promised that after the death of his parents, Zhao Song also listened to his parents at the beginning, and often arcade Zhao Yue, but after a long time, Zhao Yue was also annoyed by his sick brother.
So he gave him a huge amount of insurance, according to the villagers, this Zhao Yue was scared to death by his younger brother pretending to be a ghost, and because he was afraid that the police would see something, he refused to be cremated, and waited for the first seven to pass before burying, this Zhao Yue was resentful, and naturally came back to seek revenge, so Zhao Song's family suffered retribution.
But how could Li Bing believe in this godly thing and insist on looking for the murderer, but unfortunately this is a seemingly unexpected thing, and there is no alibi to be found.
Li Bing has been meditating for more than ten days, he has not had a good rest in the past ten days, he has been busy with this matter, and sometimes he goes to check on the corpse at night.
In the end, I really had no choice, so I had to ask Qin Feng for help, because since Qin Feng solved the matter of his relatives last time, he had a different opinion of this little boss, but after coming to the coffee house a few times, it was closed, and I heard that the boss went out on vacation, and I didn't know when I would come back, so Li Bing came to see it twice in three days.
After listening to Li Bing's narration, Qin Feng also felt that this matter was not so easy to solve, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he had no income for a long time, so he agreed to go with Li Bing to have a look.
"Officer Li, why don't you go back and rest and rest, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to get up if you fall down like this" Qin Feng looked at Li Bing with an embarrassed face, no way, in case he suddenly cooled down during the handling of the case, should he take him in?
"Okay, I'll pick you up again tomorrow at this time, and we'll go to that village together" Li Bing heard Qin Feng agree, and instantly his eyes flashed with a gleam.
He was afraid that Qin Feng would regret it and run away like a rabbit.
The café has changed its style, and after it opened, there were more customers, but more often they came here to take pictures and express their feelings.
In addition, I actually swiped the advertisement of my coffee house on a small video, and I saw that the author was actually the little Internet celebrity Ah Jiu who had helped at the beginning.
She promoted the characteristics of Shanhai Coffee House and Qin Feng in the small video, saying that he is a serious boss, and his coffee house is very suitable for young people living in petty bourgeoisie. Therefore, many people also came here, and it was really nice to see the decoration here, and they carried out a series of so-called Internet celebrity check-ins.
Qin Feng didn't stop it, because he saw a boss who opened a horror house posting some supernatural videos on it, which attracted Qin Feng's attention, especially the matter of him competing with another well-known anchor for supernatural live broadcasts, although most of the time the screen was black because of network problems, Qin Feng still saw something.
There are also some horror broadcasts, which use radio to tell stories to the masses, if it weren't for Qin Feng who had experienced some things, he would probably think it was a story
He was thinking about whether he should also promote it on the Internet. But at present, forget it, and vigorously publicize it means that he is busy, he is a salted fish, how can he want to be busy?
There was no word all night, and early the next morning, before the coffee house opened, I heard Li Bing calling the door.
"Boss Qin, Boss Qin, we can go" Li Bing stood downstairs and howled, fortunately Xiao Rou usually gets up early, otherwise he might have to stand outside and wait for a long time.
"Officer Li, please wait a moment, our boss hasn't gotten up yet" Xiao Rou brought a cup of strong tea to Li Bing, she remembered that Li Bing said last time that he didn't like coffee.
"It's okay, can you go and wake him up?" Li Bing took a sip of tea and wanted to ask Xiao Rou to wake up Qin Feng.
"You wait a minute," Xiao Rou said and walked upstairs.
After waiting for about half an hour, Qin Feng came down from the upstairs sleepy-eyed.
"Officer Li, come so early?" Qin Feng sat opposite Li Bing, and Xiao Rou brought two breakfasts and put them in front of Qin Feng and Li Bing.
"Thank you, Miss Xiaorou," Li Bing thought very politely
"Xiaorou, thank you" Qin Feng showed a smile.
Xiaorou's cooking skills are very good, which makes Qin Feng feel appetizing, but Li Bing has something in his heart, so he won't eat after two bites, and when Qin Feng finishes eating, he can't wait to take Qin Feng to solve the case immediately.
Qin Feng saw that Li Bing's state was much better today, his hair had been washed, his clothes had been changed cleanly, and his beard had been shaved, although there was still a trace of fatigue in his eyes, he looked much better.
"Officer Li, don't worry" Qin Feng asked Li Bing to relax, not that Qin Feng was sure, but that the little black and white had not gotten up yet, and it was useless for him to be anxious.
After grinding slowly, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai finally got everything done, but Xiao Rou still didn't want to go, she just asked Xiao Hei Xiao Bai and Lian Xue Wan'er to follow.
But Qin Feng left Lianxue and asked her to help Xiaorou in the store, and she only needed Xiaohei Xiaobai and Wan'er.
Lian Xue naturally had no opinion, Xiao Rou hesitated for a moment and agreed. Qin Feng didn't go to drive, but got into the car driven by Li Bing. Fuel is expensive right now.
The place is on the border between Yulin City and neighboring cities, so the traffic is quite convenient, and I finally arrived at this place after an hour's sitting.
This place is halfway up the mountain at the junction of two mountains, and the two mountains are like two people embracing. Qin Feng didn't understand feng shui, and he couldn't understand what was strange about this place.
A concrete road winds up the hill and ends in a modest parking lot at the entrance of the village.
Qin Feng and the others came to the entrance of the village and found that there were not too many villagers outside, Qin Feng didn't think it was strange, after all, so many people had died inexplicably, and who dared to come out was probably at home.
Li Bing took him to Zhao Song's house, where several police cordons were arranged, and two young policemen were on duty here.
When they saw Li Bing coming with someone, they felt strange in their hearts.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Qian, you go and rest for a while, I'll just watch it here" Li Bing broke away from the two policemen, after all, whether Qin Feng could solve it was still a problem.
Qin Feng saw that there was a human figure drawn with white lines at the door, and the furniture in the room was also neatly arranged, Li Bing took out a few photos from the bag and put them in front of Qin Feng.
"No need, you can't see anything in the photo" Qin Feng didn't take the photo, after the trial in the underworld, he felt that his five senses began to become sharp, especially when he sat in the coffee house at night to send ghosts, he could actually feel the yin qi.
Now he felt a faint yin aura in this place!
This thing is definitely done by a ghost, Qin Feng asked Li Bing to take him to the well, Qin Feng found that the depth of the well is not deep, and it is still a little difficult to drown people, Li Bing said that the child drowned head-down, and the death was very miserable.
Qin Feng found another trace of yin qi by the well!
At this time, the little black and white also came back, saying that they didn't find any problems around.
"Officer Li, please take us to Zhao Yue's grave, I think something may have happened there, and even I want to open the coffin to see, if I can, I want to see the four people who carried the coffin" Qin Feng said with a serious face, Li Bing saw that his attitude changed quickly, and he also knew that something was going on.
immediately made a phone call and went out, and after a while, several plainclothes policemen came to Zhao Song's house with four men with earthy faces.
As soon as the four men saw Qin Feng, they knelt down, and hurriedly snorted and burst into tears, shouting to the master for help.
Qin Feng didn't talk much nonsense, nor did he explain, and asked Xiao Hei Xiaobai to look at their shoulders.
At first glance, their shoulders were swollen and blackened, and they were still in the shape of a handprint.
"It's kind of interesting," Qin Feng smiled.
So he took them to the halfway point of the mountain on the left, intending to see Zhao Yue's grave.
When they came to Zhao Yue's grave, the four men knelt down and hurriedly kowtowed, saying that they should not be obsessed with money, and should not help Zhao Song harm others, and asked him to have a lot of them, let himself go.
Qin Feng glanced at Xiao Hei and Xiaobai, they just shook their heads, Qin Feng asked Li Bing to prepare to dig up the soil and open the coffin, this matter must be clarified.
Li Bing hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Several people wielded hoes and pickaxes, and with sweat they dug up the soil on the grave. A few villagers stood from afar, as if they were still talking about something.
"Little black and white, Wan'er, what did you find" Qin Feng looked at the policeman digging and asked the little black and white next to him.
"Boss, the yin qi here is very heavy, and there is a high probability that something is wrong with the corpse" Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, but still said his opinion.
"Could it be that Zhao Yue has already changed his body?" Qin Feng pondered, does this zombie belong to himself? But how to explain the yin energy peculiar to those ghosts?
Soon the coffin was dug up over there, and Li Bing called Qin Feng and asked Qin Feng what to do next.
"Open the coffin" Qin Feng took a deep breath, and then made up his mind to open the coffin, and those policemen brought protective masks and protective clothing to open the coffin
At this time, the villagers who were watching the play from a distance immediately made a fuss when they saw that the coffin was about to be opened
