Chapter 40: The Spirit of the Hearse

In order to maintain my image as a gentleman, I had to carry the tooth jar and go to the kitchen.

Her movements were fast, and when I came out after brushing my teeth, Xie Xin'an had already put on a suit and stepped on high heels, standing at the door waiting for me.

I quickened the pace, and five minutes later, the two of them sat downstairs in the steamed bun shop (the fish on the roof of the car yesterday was forgotten by me and had become smelly, so I had to throw it away), Xie Xin'an still took rice for breakfast as usual, and sneered at my tofu brain, saying that it looked like a human brain, I was nothing, after all, I often touched the corpse, and the guests at the surrounding tables were disgusted, glared at Xie Xin'an a few times, and left the table one after another.

No way, she is an "adult", and I can't reprimand her.

After breakfast, the two went to the funeral home in the same car, because the Li family was a mourning girl, and it was a girl who had just become an adult, it was not a happy funeral, so there were not many people who came to attend the funeral, only more than 20 people, all with black yarns on their arms, all of them were relatives.

The funeral was simple and solemn, the host was looking for it themselves, reading the memorial text, the relatives circled around Li Xiaotao's body, and then went out to burn the fire ring and clothes, and when they came back, the workers of the funeral home had already pushed Li Xiaotao into the refining furnace workshop, originally I had already arranged for the workers to change the body, but Xie Xin'an was a little uneasy, went in person, left Li Xiaotao's body, put the dead dog I bought yesterday on the iron plate bed, and pushed it to be burned.

Our funeral home is installed with a high-temperature electric stove, high efficiency, burning clean, I and the family of the deceased have been waiting outside, half an hour later, the door of the workshop opened, Xie Xin'an personally pushed a small iron car out, there are some scattered bones on it, I really can't tell whether it is a person or a dog, anyway, it is all small pieces and powder.

Seeing that his daughter had turned into a pile of white bone powder, Li Xiaotao's father finally couldn't stop his sadness, cried, sat on the bench, and refused to face it, the host instructed other family members to collect the ashes, put them in a box, and then killed a big rooster, let the bloody rooster in front, lead the way to the dead dog, shouting all the way, and leaving the funeral home.

I followed the whole process, free hearse to send the dog's ashes back to the village, there are more people in the village, I feel that the whole village is here to watch, the white coffin that Xiao Tao's father insisted on buying has been in place, placed on the edge of the grave, the host made a ceremony to put the urn in the coffin, and then nail the coffin, and then a few young men carried the coffin with a wooden pole, carefully put it into the pit, fill in the soil, set up a monument, and finish the work.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when all the funeral activities were over, I comforted Li Xiaotao's father a few more words, and asked him by the way: "The Taoist priest who watched the cemetery before was a man and a woman?" ”

"Man, how can there be a female Taoist, it's an old man."

I nodded, and it seemed that it was not the same person I had met in the Blancpain shop.

The work of changing the body has to be carried out at night, I said goodbye to the Li family, returned to the funeral home, and came directly to the morgue, as I expected, Xie Xin'an has already brought Li Xiaotao's true body back to the No. 11 ice coffin, fortunately, today's weather is relatively cool, after a toss in the morning, Li Xiaotao's body does not look damaged, I even approached my nose and smelled it, there is indeed no smell (except for the smell of the dead body itself).

"You must do this well tonight, remember the time of burial, seven days later, dig it out at the same hour, and the spiritual power will be the strongest." Xie Xin'an instructed me.

"Spiritual power? What do you mean? I asked.

Xie Xin'an smiled without saying a word, pushed the ice coffin, and walked through the wall.

If I'm not mistaken, the side of the wall she's wearing looks like a toilet, and I hope she doesn't step into it.

Back in the team duty room, I sent a WeChat message to Fang Yuan, asking her if she got up, Fang Yuan sent me a photo, the steering wheel of her luxury car, it looks like she is going to work in the unit, their forensic doctors don't need to be on duty (because they often have to work overtime, day and night), and the unit will only go if there is something.

"I may have been a little presumptuous at the cinema last night, and I apologize to you." I sent a voice message, this is called wanting to get away with it.

But Fang Yuan didn't reply, and after a while, she replied: "Have you been notified?" ”

"What?"

"My colleagues found a male corpse on Qipan Mountain."

Chessboard Mountain? What does it have to do with the pair of sisters?

"And then?" I asked.

"Half a corpse, exactly, as if it had been eaten by a wild beast, is there a wild beast on the chessboard mountain?" Fang Yuan's tone was suspicious.

Definitely not, if there were, it would have been exposed by netizens a long time ago, not to mention how large the Qipan Mountain is, hundreds of miles around, all plains, all over the villages, and it is impossible for large carnivores to migrate from the deep mountains and old forests.

"I'll go over and I'll get back to you later." Fang Yuan said.

About five minutes later, the funeral home office called and told me to collect the body.

I wanted to tell Xie Xin'an, but I remembered what she said before - she didn't care about the living - she only cared about Li Xiaotao, and she didn't know what would come out after seven days.

I drove a new car, went to Qipan Mountain, according to the positioning given to me by the office, turned around, and walked to the front of the plantation yesterday, I got out of the car to check, in the forest, there were a lot of new rut marks, I drove the rut marks to go inside, and soon, arrived at the place where I met the two women yesterday, continued to drive forward, until I drove to the junction of the plantation and the primeval woodland, and finally found the patrol team's vehicles, as well as Fang Yuan's car, a total of seven or eight units, and fully armed, The special service well wearing a helmet and mask should be the group of people who participated in the mountain search operation.

I got out of the car, dragged a comrade over, and asked where the body was, and the patrol comrade said that at the top of the mountain, the car could not go up, so he had to walk.

"Are there many people on the top of the mountain?" I asked, the mountain was steep and I couldn't get the body down in a body bag alone.

"Not a few."

I nodded, opened the trunk, and prepared to take the body bag,? On the inner wall of the carriage, a new handwriting has appeared: trap!

What do you mean? Is it a trap to catch those two women, or is it ...... Catch my trap?

I said...... You come out and talk! I scratched my head and said, it's not a problem to always communicate with a pen.

But the "Spirit of the Hearse" did not come out, but continued to mural the talisman with air.

"Female ......," I read, writing too slowly.

"Female ...... Sky? Does Nuwa make up for the sky? I guessed.

It seemed to be annoyed by me, and with a wave of the "big pen", it drew a cross on the word, and it was also a little grumpy.

I re-observed the words it wrote, the right side was not the sky, and the first stroke was an apostrophe, which was a bad word.

Woman...... Die young.

Goblin!?

"You mean, a dead man, a demon?" I was amazed.

The spirit of the hearse didn't say yes or no, but slowly "wiped off" all the marks.

My understanding is that it acquiesced in my guesses.

For this thing in my car, I am unconditionally new because the information it gives me every time is accurate.

Demon, I didn't expect that there really is such a thing in the world......
