Chapter 2: The old driver is gone
"You say, I'm sure I'll remember!" I said nervously.
"First ......" Lao Zhou closed his eyes and slowed down, as if he was organizing language, before he opened his eyes again after a while, "First, you have to remember——"
Lao Zhou stopped again, I waited for a long time, and he didn't continue, so I had to urge: "Remember what?" ”
Lao Zhou's eyes suddenly stared straight at the window, my heart was cold, and I turned my head to look at the heart rate monitor at the head of the bed......
Lao Zhou, the first and only "leader" in my hearse career, is half of my master, and he died like this, the doctor said, he did not die of cancer in the end, but cardiac arrest, and died of palpitations, I don't know what he saw before he died.
As for the three taboos on driving a hearse, he didn't tell me any of them......
At almost 11 o'clock in the evening, I was about to wash up and go to bed, when the convoy suddenly called, saying that a female corpse had been found in the southern suburbs and asked me to collect the body.
When it was finally time for work, I put on a black suit and white gloves, rode my little electric donkey to the convoy, and drove a Cadillac to the southern suburbs.
The deceased seems to have hanged herself, there is a dark purple strangulation mark under her neck, her body has been completely stiff, she should have been dead for more than 10 hours, the grove where she hanged herself is close to the shantytown, there are many people around the scene, the forensic doctor is packing up tools in the cordon, and it seems that the autopsy has been completed.
After the forensic doctor evacuated, I got the approval of the person in charge of the patrol team, got through the cordon, tightened my gloves, and carefully put the body into a body bag - the body bag is a unique accessory of my Cadillac, and people who die normally do not need to use it.
I asked him what to do next, and he said that he would put the morgue in the morgue and wait for the autopsy report to come out.
"Isn't it suicide? Why are you waiting for a report? I asked.
The patrol comrade didn't intend to pay attention to me, but when he glanced at the Cadillac parked next to him, he suddenly became awe-inspiring to me, turned around, and said to me solemnly: "The deceased may not have committed suicide, please properly protect the body after you go back for examination." ”
Could it be that he killed?
Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, I'm only responsible for transporting the corpses.
It's a pity that the family of the deceased has not appeared, no one stuffed me with red envelopes, the money for the car, the police station will settle with the funeral home, business to business, I can't even earn a hair.
Forget it, let's think of it as accumulating yin virtue for yourself.
On the way back, the road was unimpeded, and when the social vehicles saw me, the city's top hearse, they gave way one after another, went to the funeral home, and transferred the female corpse to the morgue, and the morgue steward hung a label on the female corpse's toes and refrigerated it.
My first order for a Cadillac went well.
However, when I cleaned the carriage, I found that there were two more red words on the metal inner wall of the corpse cabin: Wang Zhuang.
Who is so skinny, that female corpse?
I wiped it with my fingers, the handwriting was blurred, and when I smelled it, it wasn't blood, it smelled, it was like lipstick.
Lao Zhou unfortunately passed away, who can I ask if the car has any problems?
There are a total of five drivers in the hearse team, and several of them are also cucumber eggs, and they don't know as much as me!
This matter is quite strange, I thought about it, turned around and went back to the morgue, and sent a Huazi to Uncle Qin, who was in charge, and asked him to pull out the female corpse again, I put on gloves and gently raised her right hand, and sure enough, at the bottom of the coffin, I found a tube of lipstick, could it really be written by her?
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Uncle asked me, "Do you know her?" ”
"Ah...... I don't know, this is the lipstick I bought for my subject, and when I was moving the body, I accidentally fell into the coffin. I made up a casual reason, and I put the Lancôme lipstick in my pocket.
"Xiao Wu, don't blame the uncle for talking too much, you are all people who are dying, it's best to stay away from them." Uncle Qin persuaded me.
"Thank you, uncle, I will pay attention to it in the future."
"And oh," Uncle Qin looked at the old yellowed watch on his wrist, "It's about 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, it's time for Uncle to get off work, you remember, if you stay in the morgue after 12, no matter who you meet, don't talk!" ”
The funeral parlor has comrades on night duty, but there is no one in the morgue, after 12 o'clock, the door of the morgue is locked, there is no one to manage it, if you want to transport the body in, you have to go to the general duty room in the front building to get the key, I have encountered this situation twice before.
I nodded, and Uncle Qin pushed the female corpse back and led me out of the morgue.
Just as I was about to ride my little electric donkey home, the convoy phone called in again: "Xiao Wu, the patrol team is calling again, and a female corpse has been found in Xiaowangzhuang in the northern suburbs, you go and collect it." ”
"Suicide again?" I asked.
"I don't know, I said I drowned."
Tonight is quite busy, I have to drive a Cadillac and then collect the body, but I have never been to this place called Xiaowangzhuang, so I can only use the navigation - Xiaowangzhuang, which sounds a little familiar.
Half an hour later, I came to Xiaowangzhuang, it is a city village, a big pond at the entrance of the village, surrounded by a group of people, no need to ask, it must be the scene of death, I separated the crowd to the middle, but also pulled the cordon, but here, I came late, the body has been patrolled and bagged, just waiting for me to transport away.
After loading the body, a young female forensic doctor sat in the passenger seat and said that she would take a ride to the funeral home to investigate.
"What are you looking for?" I asked.
"Check the other deceased." The female forensic doctor whispered.
"Li Xiaotao?" I asked, it was the guy who had just written in lipstick in the corpse cabin, a nice name.
The female forensic doctor looked at me suspiciously: "How do you know?" You killed people?! ”
