A child who died young, the night of the burial or the early hours of the next morning, the body was lost and the soul was detained.

Maybe this kind of thing is too bizarre and unbelievable for Brother Gu's family. It's got to the point where they believe that no one else can do anything good except for someone like me who does a special job. Therefore, there was no choice to call the police.

On the one hand, the Gu family came to me twice in three days and asked me to help them. On the other hand, he also went to other people who made them feel trustworthy, and came up with some so-called shrewd ideas to find the lost corpses and the souls of the detained.

But at this point, I really can't help if I want to. All the clues have been broken, and no one can say that the real culprit can be found until new clues appear.

And when I was pushed or not pushed by the Gu family's repeated door-to-door requests, it was the village chief who came to relieve me.

When the village chief came, Brother Gu was grinding his teeth with me at my house, saying that he had found some clues and asked me to help him investigate. But it seems to me that his clues, whether true or false, must be useless. Otherwise, with his character, he would have impulsively searched for it by himself, so why did he have to ask me to go with him?

I've been deceived three times by him on this ground, but it's only three times, and of course I won't believe it again this time.

And after the village chief came, he happened to see Brother Gu begging me, so he came over and said to him: "Don't grind here with the boss of the Guan family, people still have things to do!" You are not the only one in the whole village, isn't it a matter of other people's affairs? Don't get stuck in someone's house, go back. You don't know the boss of the Guan family, if he can help you, will he not help you? Let's go back! Let's go back! ”

Brother Gu was reluctant to leave at first, but the village chief still had prestige in the village, and after saying a few more words, Brother Gu nodded and turned to go home.

I was relieved to see him leave, but when I noticed that the village chief didn't go with him, the breath I had just let go of suddenly lifted up again.

No way, the appearance of the village chief often means that I am busy again.

Although he always introduced me to business, I should thank him. But the business he introduced to me was often not a simple matter.

Sure enough, before I could ask, the village chief had already opened his mouth to me. He said: "The boss of the Guan family, I came to you this time to ask you to help carry the coffin!" ”

"Okay, I know." I nodded and said, and then said to the village chief, I'll take first.

The village chief stopped me and said to me, "This coffin is different from the past, you should go with me to see it first, and then decide whether to carry it or not, and how to carry it." As for the Eight Immortals, I will talk about it when the time comes, if you really want to lift it, I heard that the eight people may not be able to lift it. ”

When the village chief said this, I was also a little confused.

What does it mean to 'go and see first, and then decide whether to lift it or not, and how to lift it'? Could it be some kind of resentful murderous corpse? Is it okay to refuse?

As long as it is the matter of our village, no matter how fierce it is, just like the old executioner's time, no one will go if I don't go. For the sake of the village, for everyone, and of course for myself and my family, how could I refuse?

Besides, what kind of coffin, and the eight immortals can't carry it?

The village chief doesn't know anything, and when he carries the coffin, he can't carry it, often because the deceased is unwilling to leave to be reincarnated, and it has nothing to do with how many people carry it. It doesn't matter if it's eight people, sixteen people, or twenty-four people to carry it, anyway, that kind of coffin, if it is not the right medicine, it can't be lifted or can't be lifted. Adding more manpower is of no use to that kind of coffin!

But the village chief said such things again, which made me not quite understand his real thoughts.

I thought I was going to go anyway, so I followed the village chief all the way to their house.

On the way there, the village chief said to me more than once: "Boss of the Guan family, if you can't do it then, don't be reckless!" ”

In and out of the words, it is obvious that they don't want me to take over this business.

But in that case, wouldn't he just refuse directly? But why did you call me again?

I couldn't figure this out.

What makes me even more puzzled is that it has been raining for about four or five days since the other day. Sometimes it's a little smaller, sometimes it's a thunderbolt, and he hasn't stopped it all the time anyway.

After all, I have lived here since I was a child, and I can't say everything about the weather in this village, but I still know what kind of weather will be in what season.

In our place, when it comes to such cold weather, it basically doesn't rain anymore. But the weather in recent days has been a bit abnormal.

It was raining, and although it wasn't raining much, it was getting colder. The dirt roads in the village are not easy to walk, and even with an umbrella, when I followed the village chief to their house, my clothes were still soaked with water.

Before I could enter the house, I heard voices coming from the house. And when I went inside, I saw that there were really a lot of people in the room, and they were all new faces that I had never seen before.

When the village chief came in with me, one of the leaders of them stood up and walked towards me.

The village chief introduced to me: "The boss of the Guan family, this is Captain Cui from the city. Then he pulled me and said to the captain surnamed Cui: "Captain Cui, this is what I told you, the little coffin master of our village." If you have anything, just ask him directly. ”

Captain Choi is very strong, much taller than me, and I want to see him with his head tilted back when both of us are standing. But even with the natural pressure of the height difference, I still think he smiles kindly.

After being introduced by the village chief, he stretched out his hand to me and said, "Hello comrade, my name is Cui Rongguang, and I am the captain of this team. ”

I hurriedly shook hands with him and introduced myself: "Hello Captain Cui, my name is Guan Jiujiao, and I am the coffin bearer in the village. ”

Although I answered politely, I was actually very unimpressed with Captain Cui and the others. I can see that they are not ordinary city people, who come to our village and don't know what is mysterious.

From the time we met to the present, Cui Rongguang only told me that he was the captain of this team, but he refused to tell me what kind of team he was.

After introducing each other, Cui Rongguang and we both sat down. The village chief chatted with Cui Rongguang for a while, then casually found an excuse that no one heard clearly, and left early.

At this time, Cui Rongguang and I were left in the house.

There are indeed quite a lot of them, more than a dozen, just by looking at their appearance, you know that the division of labor is not the same.

Some of them looked like they were doing manual work, their skin tanned, and their hands were full of calluses. There are also some people who look like scholars or cadres, with a pen pinned to their breast pockets, and they look like village chiefs, and they are polite.

I can't see the other people a little uncertainly, those people say they are cadres, maybe too young, they say they do manual work, but there are no calluses where they should be. They have alert eyes, and they seem to have received a certain degree of professional military training, which is by no means comparable to ordinary showmanship.

After carefully examining these people, I am even more sure that their identities are not ordinary, but what kind of people are they, and why did they find me?
