In most people's minds, funeral homes are not such comfortable places.

Not only because it is the resting place of the dead, but also for some reason, such as the burning smoke coming out of the chimney or the spirit plaque or something.

Crucially, it also exists as a facility for the storage of human remains.

In this regard, the funeral home is much more frightening than the mausoleum. After all, the latter is just a jar of ashes, and at most a black-and-white photograph is pasted on the tombstone that seems to be a smile but not a smile - the former is a storage of a cold, stiff corpse.

Funeral parlor in the western suburbs of the city.

The surrounding landscape is desolate, with a few shanty houses scattered among the farmland. Behind the crematorium is the largest cemetery in Pingling City, surrounded by woods and expensive.

Drive into the funeral parlor, cross a road hundreds of meters long, and park into the parking lot.

Towards evening, things in the distance were already dormant in the darkness, blurry.

This is also the reason why Yang Chunxue didn't say a word and confessed.

It's okay to go to the morgue during the day and ...... at night She suspected that Lu Li was going to go fishing to enforce the law.

Several cars were parked in front of the ring, white flowers hanging from the rearview mirrors, and faint cries came from the hall.

Lu Li found the communication room and put forward his appeal to the staff.

"I'm sorry, I'm here to confirm my identity. ...... are you? The middle-aged man in the communication room asked politely.

"Deputy Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, Lu Li."

"Oh yes, wait a minute." The man picked up the phone and waited for a while to get through the phone: "Hey Officer Wang, I'm Xiao Zhang of the funeral home, and now the deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment has come to me to check something...... Ah, okay, I'll ask. ”

"Your name is Lu Li, right?" He covered the microphone and asked Lu Li, and after getting an answer, he brought the microphone to his ear: "It's called Lu Li, yes, Officer Wang, you can help ask." ”

There was silence in the microphone for dozens of seconds, and when the atmosphere was a little awkward, the voice finally sounded: "I asked, and their captain said that there is this person, he is going to the morgue to check some things, and you can cooperate over there." ”

"Okay, understand."

Hanging up the phone, the middle-aged man walked out of the communication room with a smile on his face: "Captain Lu, come with me." ”

He walked in front to lead the way, took off the walkie-talkie and said: "Ah Hu Ah Hu, you come to the communication room to see the laid-off, there is a criminal policeman in the city, I will take him to the morgue to have a look." ”

[That's in the past.] 】

Following the middle-aged man into the funeral home, the cry suddenly amplified. The mixed cries of men, women and children echoed, making people's hearts tingle.

From the corridor all the way forward, through the farewell hall that was constantly crowded with family members, through the dead silence and eerie red light of the mourning hall, through the pile of white-toothed paper warehouses, Lu Li followed the man to the deepest part of the funeral home.

In front of a heavy iron door of bright silver, the middle-aged man stopped: "Wait a minute, I'll go get the key." ”

"Bring the information form for the morgue corpse as well." Lu Li said.

"Okay, wait a minute."

The middle-aged man left in a hurry, leaving Lu Li alone outside the morgue door.

Lu Li's face was as calm as ever, and three minutes later, the middle-aged man trotted back.

Lu Li took the information sheet and looked down to it.

He found Liu Xiaoyan in the records of July 10, Cabinet 6 in Area D.

Exactly four weeks ago.

Tapping his finger on the name, Lu Li asked the middle-aged man who was opening the door with his back to him: "Do you have any impression of this person named Liu Xiaoyan?" ”

Click-

There was a small thud, and the metal door opened a crack.

The middle-aged man didn't widen the crack in the door, turned around and smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, our funeral home sends a lot of bodies every day, there are dozens of more than hundreds, some are burned, and some are unclaimed and kept all the time, I really can't remember ......"

"Open it, you close the door and stay outside when I'm in."

“…… Are you okay alone? The middle-aged man asked tentatively.

"As a police officer, you've seen no fewer corpses than you." Fake policeman Lu Li said.

The middle-aged man nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, and pulled the heavy metal door open.

Squeak, squeak, squeak-

The door behind the palm of his hand was slowly opened, and it seemed that white mist was spreading out of the morgue, and a cold and cold air came to his face.

There is air conditioning, and there is also yin.

It's normal, if it's not haunted in the morgue, it's haunted.

Lu Li walked into the morgue, he suddenly noticed something, and listened attentively.

The sound of near-absent weeping echoed throughout the cold, dead morgue.

After more than ten seconds, Lu Li turned his head and said to the middle-aged man at the door: "Please notify the family members who are listening to the farewell cry quietly." ”

"This ...... It's not good......" The middle-aged man looked embarrassed.

"Forget it, close the door."

The middle-aged man replied and retreated the door into the distance, but it was not locked.

All sounds were blocked from the outside world, and only the clean, cold, and dead silence of the morgue remained.

Morgue freezers with chills are neatly placed against the wall.

Lu Li walked past the rows of morgues and approached Area D.

Click-

As I walked past a row of morgues, the sound of a machine came from behind me.

Buzz –

The white incandescent light above his head flickered suddenly, flickering on and off.

Lu Li looked back and saw that the external wrench of a morgue was open.

Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeaw-squea

With the slow sound of aching teeth, the cabinet door opened slowly, revealing a tiny crack that gradually widened......

When—

A palm suddenly pressed the door of the morgue and closed it.

Feeling the resistance on the other side of his palm, Lu Li's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened the holster and took out Glock and aimed it at the morgue.

"Quiet."

The resistance on the cold cabinet door disappeared in an instant.

Click-

The wrench rotates on its own, and a locking sound is heard inside.

Lu Li put away the pistol, and his black eyes stopped on several freezers for a moment, no longer wasting time walking to cabinet 6 in Area D.

Unscrew the wrench, pull out of the hospital bed, and lift the white cloth.

A highly decomposed female corpse with an iron-blue body appeared in front of her.

Lu Li had never seen Liu Xiaoyan, but the corpse in front of him was seriously decomposed, similar to Chen Rong at the beginning, and it was almost confirmed.

Lu Li raised his palm and stroked Liu Xiaoyan's forehead.

The cold and piercing touch reached the palm of his hand, and Lu Li held this position for a long time, ignoring what happened.

No blood-colored tentacles appeared.

Is it only souls that have bloody tentacles?

Lu Li thought that Chen Rong was like this, so where would Liu Xiaoyan's soul ......?

Returning the hospital bed to the morgue, Lu Li walked to a morgue in two adjacent compartments.

Whew, knock –

Lu Li raised his hand and tapped: "Ask two questions, the first question: Do you have any impression of the corpse in the morgue I just opened." Second question: If there is an impression, did she see her ghost when she was sent. ”

A few seconds passed, a dozen seconds passed, and half a minute later, a cold, slow, old voice came from the cabinet door.

“…… No...... No. ”

There is no question for each of the two.

"Okay, thanks."

Lu Li thanked him and left the morgue without looking back.

A short time after leaving, a murmur echoed in the morgue.

It's not just humans who talk about ghosts and gods, but ghosts and monsters are also talking about strange people.
