Chapter 3 Funeral Scene
Zhu Feiyue had a cousin who happened to know Su Yao, and he found out from his cousin that Su Yao killed herself.
As for the reason for the suicide, my cousin said that she didn't know either, but I could vaguely associate it with that day...... She came to my shop to wash her hair.
In this way, I can't wash my name at all.
Even I could feel that even Zhu Feiyue's eyes looked at me was a little wrong.
"I swear, I really didn't hurt Su Yao, except for washing her hair, I didn't touch her fingers much......" I sat on the ground with my head in my hands, feeling like a prisoner being escorted to the execution ground.
Zhu Feiyue locked the barbershop door with his backhand: "I know you don't have that guts, if I didn't believe you, I would have kept my distance from you, what are you doing with you?" ”
I looked at Zhu Feiyue and said in despair: "But she is so dignified, why would she commit suicide?" ”
Zhu Feiyue lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Is this possible?" Su Yao is talking about another barbershop? After all, in her circle of friends, she didn't mention the name of the store? ”
The two of us pondered it carefully, and felt that this assumption was not valid, first of all, in a small county town, there were not many barber shops, and one slap was counted, and all hair salons were counted, but my one was newly opened.
And not long after Su Yao left that day, she posted on Moments, and in the middle of the night, it was impossible for her to come out of my shop and go to another barbershop.
When the girl came to my store, she was fine, but when she came home, her skirt was torn and her hair was messy.
Originally, our plan was to find Su Yao to ask about this matter face to face, but now that Su Yao has committed suicide, the last straw is gone.
Seeing me sitting on the ground stunned, Zhu Feiyue threw me a cigarette, gritted his teeth and said, "People are watching the sky, afraid of a fart?" You just have to have a clear conscience. Don't worry, I'll follow you to the end! ”
"My cousin said that Su Yao will be buried tomorrow, and it just so happens that the two of us will also go over, and by the way, I will inquire about how Su Yao died."
I nodded and agreed, now it can only be like this, but this matter has nothing to do with Zhu Feiyue, I don't want to pull him in, the key is to get to the funeral site tomorrow, in case I am discovered by the Su family, it is inevitable that there will be a conflict.
"Lao Zhu, don't stir up this troubled water, I'll go by myself tomorrow."
Zhu Feiyue said unhappily: "It's not my brother, I'm talking about you, just you are on this, it's really a special evil door, this plot, I can't even see it in novels and movies, I can't sleep all night these days, I've been thinking about this at night, can I be willing if I don't find out?" ”
Seeing Zhu Feiyue's face excited, like a golden retriever, I can't say anything more. The next morning, the two of us met in front of the barbershop and went to Su Yao's house.
On the way, Zhu Feiyue gave me a trick: "Brother, you have made a lot of money from the reincarnation of death, let's settle the noodle restaurant first, right?" Other costs come back to that. ”
In order to open a barber shop, I owed a lot of debts, and I spent a penny in half, and I ate in Zhu Feiyue's small noodle restaurant at noon every day, eating two large bowls of vegetarian soup noodles at a time, and the day's meals were solved.
Zhu Feiyue often scolded me for slamming the door, I never gave money to eat at his house, in return, I gave him free washing, cutting and blowing, and also helped him repair the air conditioner.
"Let's not mention the food money first, what do you mean by other expenses?"
Zhu Feiyue cheekily stretched out his hand at me: "I'll help you find out Su Yao's address, and I will accompany you to solve the case, help you come up with ideas, and appease your injured heart, not to mention more, give a hard fee of three or five hundred a day, isn't it too much?" ”
"Yes, let's do it first."
"Big brother, don't just remember? When is the day? ”
"On the day I die, I'll send you some underworld coins from the underworld."
Zhu Feiyue was a little unhappy, scolded me for being a thief and a good man, and said that if he wanted to see me Li Zhiwen pay a penny, it was harder than plucking the feathers from a weasel.
The reason why I can play with this person is that we both have one thing in common, we both pick the door, Zhu Feiyue has more ghost ideas than me, but he can't pick me no matter what, so every time we meet, it is always him who suffers.
When the two poor people met together, the result was miserable, and they had to guess and pay for the bus.
Scolding Zhu Feiyue all the way, my mood is not so gloomy, Su Yao's family lives in the suburbs of the county, and her family built a villa by herself, after getting out of the car, I wondered if I should go to the supermarket to buy something, and I pondered, no.
Su Yao's circle of friends, her family must have seen it, if I am found by the Su family, it will be light to break my leg.
When you meet, you must do it, other people's daughters commit suicide, the murderer comes to the door by himself, and when the scene is chaotic, who will listen to me and reason?
What kind of bicycle do you need in this situation? When the meeting passed, we could only hide in the distance and peek, and wait for the funeral to be over before making the next move.
According to the address given by Zhu Feiyue's cousin, the two of us walked for a few miles, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, the sky was cloudy, a cold wind came out, and a miserable yellow paper money floated out of the woods.
There was a burning smell in the air, and the smell of it made me feel terrible.
This dirt road in the wilderness has no shops in front of the village or behind it, and except for the two of us, there is not a single living creature around.
I don't understand why Su Yao's family is built in such a remote place.
Not long after I walked, I suddenly had a strange feeling that something was following me.
I hurriedly looked back and saw a man in a black robe with a black umbrella appearing behind.
This man was dozens of meters away from me, and I couldn't see the details, but I felt that he was very tall, thin like a telephone pole, and that the umbrella was probably made of paper, and the wind was blowing.
The man's face was hidden in an umbrella and he walked slowly.
I stabbed Zhu Feiyue, and he also looked back at the man and said, "Maybe I'm here to attend the funeral." ”
We ignored the man and moved on. At the end of the dirt road was Su Yao's house, a lonely three-story western-style building, with a few high-end cars parked at the door and two rows of wreaths on the wall.
Her villa is quite magnificent, but the location is too remote.
Behind the villa, there is a forest, and the closest building to the villa is an earthen toilet a few hundred meters away.
It is surrounded by barren black earth, stone bumps, and some untended bud valley forests.
Zhu Feiyue and I hid in a dry grass, looked at the villa, from a distance, the courtyard seemed to be crowded with people, but the atmosphere was quiet and weird, these people didn't speak, just stood there stunned and didn't know what they were doing.
I noticed that the man with the black umbrella had actually hid and looked at the villa.
This person's origin is very suspicious, and obviously, he doesn't want to be discovered by the Su family.
"Her family has bad feng shui." Zhu Feiyue frowned and pointed to the villa.
I absentmindedly replied, "You know Feng Shui?" ”
Zhu Feiyue shook his head: "I don't understand, but I can see something, the feeling her family gives me...... It's not good, I can't say it clearly, I just feel that the whole pattern of the building is like a tomb, very gloomy, very desperate. ”
There was a small hill not far away, and the two of us climbed to the hillside, this time the viewing angle was closer, and I saw that in the middle of the courtyard of the Su family, there was a wooden coffin, which was painted with white paint.
There were at least twenty people from the Su family present, all wearing funeral costumes, and everyone's faces were pale, ugly and scary.
Not far from the white coffin, a fire was burning on the ground, and people threw paper money into the fire.
Seeing this scene, my scalp was buzzing, and then I really realized it...... Su Yao is really dead!
I don't want to mention how uncomfortable it is, I don't know Su Yao very well, but her death is inextricably linked to me.
Because I was framed by Su Yao, I used to hate her in my heart, but now that everyone is gone, my anger has long been replaced by a desperate sadness.
"Have you ever seen a white coffin?" Zhu Feiyue turned his head and asked me.
My eyelids jumped: "I haven't seen it." ”
Zhu Feiyue's face was a little ugly: "I live so big, it's the first time I've seen it, but I heard the old man say that the white coffin is a symbol of the great murderer, especially for the people who died horizontally, if the white coffin is buried, the deceased will definitely cheat the corpse!" ”
After hearing this, I gasped, and a very strange thought occurred in my heart at that time.
I don't know why, I always feel that this white coffin was deliberately prepared by the Su family.
We hid on the hillside and watched for more than ten minutes, only to see two middle-aged people, carrying a female corpse, slowly walking out of the villa.
The female corpse was Su Yao, she was wearing a blood-red shroud, her eyes were closed, although she had deliberately painted makeup, her face was still indescribably gloomy.
One of the corpse bearers, with a bare head, was the strange old man who had come to my barbershop before.
And the middle-aged woman who was swishing was actually in the crowd, it turned out that they were both from the Su family, and they had come to my store to ask for a jade plaque before. But it is estimated that they didn't expect that Su Yao would suddenly find a short-term meeting.
Su Yao's body was placed in a white coffin, her face was covered with a black cloth, and the coffin lid was tightly sealed with nails. Tie a white paper flower to the outermost part.
Burials are prevalent in the countryside of the Northeast, and the Su family is no exception, after the body is in the coffin, the crowd begins to walk out, walking baldly at the front of the line, holding the portrait of Su Yao in his hand.
Followed by four sturdy men, carrying the white-lacquered coffin, middle-aged women followed behind with their heads, taking paper money out of the sleeves of their padded jackets from time to time and spilling them into the air.
The scene, like a horror novel that has been dusty for many years, is absurd and gloomy.
After leaving the Su family, the funeral procession walked very slowly, and I glanced at Zhu Feiyue and secretly followed.
And the strange man with the black umbrella also followed crookedly.
I looked back from time to time, and saw that the man was walking in a very strange posture, his whole body was forward, inclined at a 45-degree angle, and the movements of his limbs were also very stiff, like a dummy in a rural shadow puppet play.
It's as if he's got a lot of threads behind him, and something is manipulating him.
