Chapter Twenty-Three: Gone

The ghost looked at the young man's back, her brows furrowed, and I immediately grabbed her, knowing that she wanted to rush over to find someone to theorize.

"Brother, what are you pulling me for? Let me teach that unscrupulous son a lesson. ”

"The little girl is useless, he can say that I am Alzheimer's, do you think my old woman has just been buried, why did he come the next day?"

The ghost and I stared at the old man's next step.

The old man sighed deeply, "He took a fancy to the gold earrings on my wife's ears and sold them so that he could invite people to eat and drink." As he spoke, the old man patted the dirt on the mound with a shovel.

Regardless of his mother's life and death, he still thinks about the gold earrings, the old man's bones are not cold, he is so greedy for money, he should be killed by thunder.

"Uncle, we just want to know what's going on?"

The old man tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and a smile barely appeared on his simple and wrinkled face, "You're not reporters, are you!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and the uncle put down the shovel and sat in front of the mound, "Recently, the old people here have been suffering from heart attacks, and I also feel strange." My wife didn't escape this catastrophe, and it was fate. I didn't let her go out that day, but she wasn't happy, and finally I had to go out to find that bad boy. But when I came back, I saw her lying on the ground, as if she had fallen into an ice hole, cold. Today, her heart was gouged out, and I have nothing to do, all I can do is bury her back in the ground. After speaking, the old man held the tablet and wiped his tears.

Neither the ghost nor I knew what to say, so we sat quietly with the old man for a while, and the old man cried enough, thanked us, and went home.

The ghost and I found a place to hide, and waited for night to fall, and we vowed to catch the heart-digger.

In the quiet of the night, dark clouds obscured the moon, and crows could occasionally be heard around.

Hundreds of small mounds, such an atmosphere looks particularly strange, I don't know when the wind blew on the mountain, the sand hit the face, and it hurt very much.

"Brother, did you think she would come?"

"It's hard to say, we'll wait and see."

"It's almost dawn, she shouldn't show up, let's go! A little hungry. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a very cooperative "grunt, grunt" sound.

"I've been waiting for so long, it's a pity to give up now, just wait! I can't get a taxi when I get home now. ”

The ghost let out a long sigh and remained motionless.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, and no one appeared from beginning to end, we were in vain.

We went down the mountain to take a taxi home, and when we arrived at a small restaurant near our home, it was already noon, and we had to eat breakfast and lunch together.

"You know what? I heard that the body in the funeral parlor in the eastern suburbs was lost, and it was crazy last night, and someone still saw a strange old lady at the scene, and I still have photos they took! ”

"Really? You show me. ”

"I've saved it all on my phone."

"Show me." The person opposite him snatched the man's phone as he spoke.

The ghost who was lying on the table and was about to fall asleep suddenly raised his head, and rushed over with two big dark circles under his eyes, "Big brother, show me too!" ”

The man with the mobile phone was startled by the ghost that suddenly appeared, was stunned for a moment, and then obediently handed the mobile phone to the ghost.

I also joined in the fun, and the shadow on the screen was not very clear, and there was only one back shot.

"How can you tell the difference between this unclear one?" The ghost returned the phone.

"Ling'er, hurry up and eat, we have a place to go." I pulled the ghost and sat back down, "When we're done with jjajangmyeon, we'll go." ”

"Brother, after staying up for so long, aren't you tired? I really admire it! The ghost clasped his hands into fists and shook at me.

I didn't bother with her, the situation was a bit tricky, the clues weren't clear enough, and we couldn't catch the old lady who was doing the trick.

If our previous assumptions were correct, she would continue to look for the children.

The two of us ate some casually and hurried to the funeral home.

As soon as I entered the funeral home, I saw a group of people gathered in the hall, and they blocked the way of the staff, who looked to be only in their twenties.

In the crowd, I found a familiar figure, a middle-aged man who had given me a few punches in the hospital.

A group of people led by him questioned the staff in a gossiping manner.

"Your security is so bad, my dad is gone, you should get me back. You go and call your manager out, you can't decide anything, you can't solve the problem? Don't waste your time, we still have to hold a funeral for the elderly. ”

The staff's face was red and white when he said it, "Sir, don't get excited, this kind of thing has never happened on our side, we are already investigating, I hope you understand, arguing here will not solve the problem, please be patient and wait for the results of our investigation, okay?" The staff said as they squeezed out of the crowd.

"Waiting for the results of the investigation? Are you mistaken? Can I wait for the funeral? ”

"That's it, the four old people of our family have all been lost, is this too coincidental, how can it be stolen so easily, you are not responsible!"

"Sir, please rest assured that it will be handled by us, trust us. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. "The staff didn't want to stay longer.

"I want to leave without explaining the problem clearly, what kind of work attitude do you have?"

Soon some people were dissatisfied with his work attitude, pushing and shoving, just not letting the staff go.

It's right for them to make trouble, there is a white thing in the family, the deceased is big, everyone is lost, what about the funeral? However, most people would see it as unlucky.

"Brother, now it's a mess here, I don't think it's useful for the two of us here, let's go over there to check." The ghost shook her head, I think she was a headache from the noise of these people, plus she didn't sleep yesterday, she must be upset and irritable.

"Seeing that you are so tired, you better go home and rest! I'll just go to Qiliqu by myself! ”

I really can't bear to drag the ghost with me anymore, and I really miss An Chen's time.

"Forget it, what if you really find out and you can't deal with it alone? I still remember when you were taken to the hospital! Just think about it. ”

When the middle-aged man saw me, he squeezed out of the crowd, walked to me, and circled around me, "I didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital, I thought you would have to be sent in sideways!" "In the face of his cynicism, I ignored him.

A man's heart is too small, and he will seize one thing when he finds the opportunity, and it is difficult for such a person to make a difference in his life.
