Chapter 27 Chen Jixian is in distress
In the evening of the next day, while his colleagues were having dinner, Qi Lu trotted all the way back to the dormitory, and after a brief tidying up, he was ready to go back to the company to finish the things he promised Lao Wu yesterday. As soon as I went out, I almost bumped into a person.
"Xiao Qi, where are you going so anxious?"
As soon as Qi Lu looked up, he saw that the person who came was Chen Jixian, and Ding Xiaolan was next to him.
"Daochang Chen, I'll have something to do when I go back."
"Don't worry, I'm here to discuss something with you." Chen Jixian said as he walked into Qi Lu's dormitory.
Qi Lu couldn't force the two of them away, so he had to patiently accompany him back to the house to chat.
It turned out that Chen Jixian also noticed that there was still a problem with the funeral home, so he secretly observed the environment around the funeral home, and finally found that there was a large amount of demonic energy around the morgue. With the attitude that the evil will be eliminated, he asked Zhang Shifan to explain the situation, hoping to do another magic thing to eliminate the evil.
However, Zhang Shifan had one accident after another in the funeral home, and even Uncle Wang's life was involved, and the current situation was simply a mess for him. Let's not say that the police are staring here, even reporters with a keen sense of smell come to find news every now and then, at this sensitive moment, how dare he let Chen Ji come to get rid of the demon first, isn't that a handle and a person in vain? So he politely declined Chen Jixian's request.
Chen Jixian didn't give up, so he discussed it with Ding Xiaolan and decided to ask Qi Lu for help and ask him to allow him to do a ritual in the early hours of this evening.
Of course, Qi Lu would not agree to Chen Jixian's request, but he and Zhang Shifan had different ideas. Because he already knew the truth of the matter, this monster was powerful, Chen Jixian was not his opponent at all, and he would lose his life if he didn't do it, so Qi Lu must not let him be alone in danger, so he resolutely rejected him.
Chen Jixian wanted to persuade Qi Lu again, but Ding Xiaolan glanced at him, and then took out a bottle of drink from his bag and handed it to Qi Lu.
"Handsome guy, don't be busy chatting, drink some drinks first."
Qi Lu unscrewed the cap of the bottle, looked at Ding Xiaolan's pretty face like a flower, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, thinking that she had nothing to do, was she not well-intentioned.
Ding Xiaolan smiled and said, "Think my drink is not high-grade enough?" ”
"How dare I refuse a beautiful woman." Qi Lu thought to himself that I have an anti-poison body, even if you want to harm me, it will be fine, so he drank the drink.
They chatted for a while, Qi Lu remembered that Lao Wu was still waiting for him in the company, so he euphemistically gave them an eviction order, and Chen Jixian also stood up and prepared to leave.
Just when Qi Lu wanted to send Chen Ji out first, he suddenly felt dizzy, stumbled under his feet, and his body lost its center of gravity and went straight to the ground.
Chen Jixian quickly helped him to the bed, and at the same time complained to Ding Xiaolan: "Xiao Qi doesn't agree, forget it, how can you make a trick, he is your colleague." ”
Ding Xiaolan smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, sleeping pills won't kill him." ”
Qi Lu couldn't speak when he heard their conversation, he scolded secretly: "Okay, you Ding Xiaolan, when I wake up, I have to clean up your stinky." ”
He tried to stand up, but his unrelenting eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he quickly fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Qi Lu seemed to hear Ding Xiaolan screaming, and he opened his eyes suddenly. Then Ding Xiaolan's cry came from the morgue again, this time Qi Lu really heard it, Ding Xiaolan shouted: "Someone! Something happened to my uncle! ”
Qi Lu hurriedly turned over with a "carp fight", and ran towards the morgue without even putting on his shoes.
When he came to the morgue, Qi Lu saw that five of the six fluorescent lights on the roof had gone out, and the only remaining one was also blinking. There were runes and magic weapons scattered everywhere on the ground, and a corpse that should have been lying in the freezer was lying on the ground at this time, and the dirty blood was bleeding all over the ground. And Chen Jixian also fell unconscious in the corner not far from the morgue, and Ding Xiaolan whispered softly beside him.
Qi Lu had already thrown his heart of scolding her out of the clouds, he picked up Chen Jixian's hand and touched his pulse beating weakly, knowing that there was still help, and hurriedly said to Ding Xiaolan: "What are you doing in a daze, call an ambulance quickly!" ”
Ding Xiaolan reacted at this time, she shuddered and took out her mobile phone to make a call. At this time, the security guards who heard the wind came, and Zhang Shifan, who had been sleeping in the office for the past few days, also arrived.
After all, he is a leader, although Zhang Shifan was afraid to death when he saw this chaotic scene, he would not be in a mess, he arranged for a few people to carry Chen Ji to the communication room at the door to wait for the ambulance, and asked Qi Lu and the rest of the people to clean up the scene.
A security guard was about to carry the body back to the freezer on the ground, but when he turned the body over, the person screamed in fright.
When everyone heard the sound, they found that a large hole had been broken in the chest cavity of the corpse, and at the same time, an indescribable smell of corpses came to his nose, and Qi Lu felt a violent contraction in his stomach, and he almost vomited in disgust.
But disgusting to disgusting, Qi Lu still stubbornly walked to the corpse to check, and found that the internal organs in its chest were missing.
Could it be that there are still people in the funeral parlor who steal human organs? Or is it the good deeds of that skinny old man-like youkai? Qi Lu also began to get confused.
At this time, the security guards who put Chen Jixian in the ambulance came back, and only Ding Xiaolan accompanied him to the hospital as a family member. Zhang Shifan saw that the sky was not yet bright, and hurriedly said to Qi Lu: "Old rules, go quickly!" ”
"The old rules?" Qi Lu understood in a blink of an eye, he randomly found a shroud to put on the corpse, so that it would be difficult for outsiders to see that there was something wrong with the deceased.
After everyone put the body back in the freezer, Zhang Shifan closed the door and said to them viciously: "Today's incident is treated as if nothing happened, if anyone says it, it will be smashing the funeral home's job, and I will never let him have a good time!" ”
"Got it." Everyone replied in unison that they didn't want to lose their jobs.
"Very good, 800 yuan per person when the salary is paid." Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
Zhang Shifan saw that Qian Hai's tactics were working again, so he asked everyone in the morgue to return to their respective posts, and they were not allowed to talk about the strange things that happened just now.
After working for half a day, Qi Lu was also tired, and he was about to rinse his mouth and wash his face, when he was called back by Zhang Shifan.
"Curator, are you looking for me?"
"How can such a strange thing happen? Didn't we burn the corpses of youkai? ”
Qi Lu pretended to be deep and said: "This shows that it has accomplices." ”
"Ahh Now that only the two of them were present, the forced calm look in front of Zhang Shifan had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a panicked face.
"Curator rest assured, you have a heavenly appearance, and you will be able to turn evil into good fortune. If there are no accidents, I guess the funeral home will be safe in three days. ”
Zhang Shifan was still pondering the meaning of his words, and Qi Lu said to him again: "Curator, now I am working alone in the morgue, and it is haunted......
"You want a raise?" Zhang Shifan interrupted him rudely.
"No, I'm too busy to be busy. Are you recruiting another man? ”
Seeing that Qi Lu was not threatening to raise wages and resign, Zhang Shifan's hanging heart also relaxed, he pulled Qi Lu aside with a smile and said: "Xiao Qi, I have already registered for recruitment, and new people will come to work in a few days." However, it is an eventful time in the museum, and you will have to overcome some difficulties in the next few days, and I will give due consideration to the funds. ”
Qi Lu sneered in his heart: Last time I came to apply, I didn't see anyone other than me daring to come to work in this ghost place, and you want to prevaricate me with words.
However, on the surface, Qi Lu pretended to be honest, and made another request to him with a bitter face, "But I'm too tired these days, and people are not machines, why don't you approve me for another day off?" ”
Zhang Shifan knew that Qi Lu was taking the opportunity to blackmail, but he could only agree to his request. At this time, if even Qi Lu resigns, no one in the morgue will really want to come to work.
In fact, Qi Lu's heart was also in a mess, and the situation was getting more and more complicated, far beyond what he had expected before he came to the funeral home.
When he returned to the dormitory, he saw Lao Wu sitting at the head of the bed waiting for him.
"You didn't go back to the company last night, why didn't you answer a lot of phone calls?"
Qi Lu took out his mobile phone and saw that there were really seven or eight calls to remind him that they were all from Lao Wu, and he sighed and said, "Don't mention it, last night Chen Daochang asked his niece to stun me, and then ran to the corpse room to remove the demon." ”
"As a result, my nose and face were swollen because I was beaten by a monster?"
"Almost, the demon didn't catch it, but sent himself to the hospital."
"I'll just say that he is a parallel import, he still wants to be a hero if he can't bear it, and it's his blessing that he didn't lose his life." Lao Wu looked disdainful.
"Don't talk about people like that, he also has good intentions." Qi Lu didn't like his down-to-earth attitude.
"Let's take care of ourselves first, otherwise the surname Chen will be a lesson for us." Lao Wu threw the bag in his hand to him, "I brought all the boxes." ”
Qi Lu saw him put such a precious thing in a broken bag at random, and immediately said angrily, "You brought my treasure over like this?" What should I do if someone steals it on the road? ”
Lao Wu replied disapprenousively: "Steal, I am the ancestor of thieves, who can steal things from me?" ”
Qi Lu had nothing to say when he saw him like this, and buried himself in taking out the contents of the bag, which were three black suitcases of different sizes. He thought for a moment before picking up the smallest box and returning the other two boxes to Lao Wu.
"You're not going to use these two?"
"I don't want to make a big deal about this kind of monster yet." As he spoke, Qi Lu opened the small black box, took out a pendant from it and put it on his chest.
It's a somewhat special-looking ornament, like a cross made of some ordinary but illegible metal. However, this description is inaccurate, because there is no statue of Jesus on the wooden frame, and the bottom of the vertical shoulder is as sharp as the edge of a sword.
In addition to this pendant in the box, there is also a green spirit rune, the rune is obscure, if you judge from the color of the rune paper alone, this should be a spirit rune containing wood attributes.
Seeing this spirit rune, Qi Lu hesitated, and finally handed it to Lao Wu, "The talisman is of little use to me for the time being, so you should keep it for emergency use first." ”
Lao Wu took the spirit talisman and said to him with a smile: "I have a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
Qi Lu laughed, there have been scientific researchers who have done research on this, and 80% of people who hear this sentence usually want to hear the bad news first. But Qi Lu is often a person who does not play cards according to the rules, and this time he is no exception, "First of all, a good news to refresh me." ”
"The helper will come to the city tomorrow, and I plan to arrange for him to show off his skills tomorrow night."
"Okay." Qi Lu said: "The time was chosen in the early hours of the morning, and there were not many people in the funeral home at this time. ”
Lao Wu then told him the bad news, "Zheng Lin committed suicide in the detention center. ”
"You're not kidding, are you?" This is indeed frustrating bad news, Qi Lu wondered that with his understanding of Zheng Lin, this person was greedy for money and afraid of death, and he didn't have the courage to make a decision on his own.
"At one o'clock in the morning last night, he hanged himself with a rope, and before he died, he bit his finger and left five bloody words on the wall. Now the public security bureau has exploded, tracing the source of the rope everywhere. ”
This is really strange, there is no rope in the detention center, no wonder Liu Chenfei is panicking, this is a major dereliction of duty. But how did Zheng Lin get the rope, could it be that there were fellow party members secretly helping?
Qi Lu asked, "Have you seen Zheng Lin's corpse?" ”
"What opportunity do I have to get inside the detention facility now? Wait a minute, I can only find acquaintances to listen to some words. ”
"No need to look for it, you just go and ask Officer Liu." Qi Lu thought of Liu Chenfei.
"At such a sensitive moment, he is an old man who is willing to reveal the details of the case?" Lao Wu felt that this matter was unreliable.
"Of course don't say anything about asking him directly, you can tell him about the discovery of the dark room of the villa, and the equivalent exchange." When Zheng Lin died, all the clues were broken, and Liu Chenfei's criminal investigation direction also fell into a dead end, and Qi Lu was ready to help him.
Lao Wu nodded in agreement, and after telling him a few words, he put the remaining two boxes back into the bag and went to find Liu Chenfei.
