Chapter 789: Corpse (M)
As he spoke, everyone in the room sprang into action, and they all left the living room and walked out.
The thin man looked at us both and introduced himself, "I'm the sheriff of Amber, you can call me Drey." I investigated Dr. Blank's death, and I informed you to come here for the funeral. This is the phone number of Dr. Blank's lawyer, and he may notify you to take care of the estate the day after tomorrow. ”
Officer Dre handed Andrew a note and said, "Take my car to church if it's convenient." ”
"No, we rented a car. Just follow your car. I politely declined. For some reason, this man always felt a little weird to me.
He glanced at me and nodded, "It's okay, you guys hurry up." I'm driving a bit fast. ”
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Regia pulled us along, "Let's go, it's not close to the church." ”
Andrew was about to say something, and I immediately pulled him a "car." ”
A long line of cars parked on the side of the street had already left the parking space, and the three of us quickly started the car and drove forward with Officer Drey's police car.
It didn't take long for me to notice that Officer Dre was modest, and he wasn't driving fast at all, he was playing with his life. I seriously doubt that he drove John Woo's "Mission Spy" series and learned the scene of car chasing. A man and a car sounded the siren directly in the crowded street, and sped away at a speed of at least one hundred and twenty yards through the red light.
"This bastard, does he really drive like this?" I was out of the way, and I followed closely behind his car as soon as I stepped on the accelerator. Let the electronic eyes at the red light position frantically flash to take pictures.
Sitting in such a car, Andrew's face was already white with fright, and he couldn't speak. And Regia was still smiling, and her face did not change, "Usually the police officers are very calm, but some strange things have happened recently, which has made him very angry." The drive is also a little wilder. ”
"Strange thing?" I asked, "What's the matter?" Do you know? ”
Regia shook her head, "I don't know. ”
I narrowed my eyes, said 'oh', and stopped talking. Although I have only known her for a few hours, I can still feel her simple personality. The cute girl's lying expression was all written on her face. She must have known what was going on. But why did Regia hide it?
After frantically following the police car for half an hour, we drove through Amber Town to the northern suburbs, and finally stopped in front of a church.
The church is built on a hill, and the ridge of the hill can clearly see the cemetery's dense collection of tombstones. White is the main color of the church, and the window decals are in tatters, but the priest here doesn't seem to have any intention of repairing them.
I looked around and checked the map again. This church is not shown on the ground map. I don't think it's one of the tourist facilities.
There was mournful music in the church, low and dim, and it was uncomfortable to listen to. Officer Dre stood on the steps and motioned for us to enter. Andrew still walked forward with a big grin. Reguia didn't know what she was thinking, and her hair was down. I'm just looking around.
When I entered the church, I saw rows of chairs full of people.
"These are Dr. Blank's patients and neighbors?" I asked, turning my head.
Regia was taken aback by my voice, and only replied after I asked again, "Yes, most of them are patients who have been cared for by doctors." ”
"Your town is really welcoming." I remained silent, and my heart was unimpressed. The dozen or so people sitting in the front seats were obviously police officers in disguise, and judging by their hands and well-trained appearance, it was not easy. Uncle Andrew's death may not be as simple as murder. What exactly are these police officers guarding against at the funeral?
The priest standing under the cross was dressed in a black priest's attire, an old man in his fifties, with bald hair. When he saw our group walk in, he was deeply relieved, "Very good, Dr. Blank's relatives have already arrived, please ask him to come to the stage, and prepare for the ceremony." ”
I secretly nudged Andrew, "Go." ”
He scratched his head, his face showing fear, "I'm afraid." ”
"What is there to be afraid of, he is your uncle. Even if you are dead, you are also a relative. I glared at him.
"But I've been afraid of this kind of ghostly stuff since I was a child. The corpse or something, I was even more scared to death. "He's going to shrink behind my back.
I hate that iron is not steel, and I want to kick it over, "You guy has lived in such a big castle since he was a child, why haven't you been afraid?" If you want to talk about ghosts, castles are the easiest to breed. ”
"That's not the same as this one." He made it look like he wouldn't die.
"What's the difference, your fear is too selective. Go, everyone is waiting for you. Do you expect me to accompany you when you go to see your uncle's corpse? Unpromising! I said angrily.
"Yes, I completely agree with you to go with me." Andrew actually beat the snake with the stick, and he didn't want any dignity at all.
I covered my head and didn't even bother with him.
The pastor waited awkwardly for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, "Well, Dr. Blank's nephew, how long are you going to be silent?" Your sorrow is obvious to all, and your uncle will surely be at peace in Heaven. Now, please come to the stage to see him for the last time. I believe that only in this way can Dr. Blank's soul be at peace! ”
Strangely, most funerals have always waited for the choir to go through the motions, and the pastor prayed before it was the turn of relatives and friends to pay respects. How can the funeral process be so brief? Is it because there is not enough funding? Something is wrong, no matter how you think about it, it feels wrong!
Andrew squirmed and still didn't want to pass, and I gave up "Okay, I'll accompany you." Damn, who called me so unlucky, to know an idiot friend like you. ”
"Great, I know Ah Ye you are enough brothers." It's just that he accompanied him to see the corpses of his relatives, and they actually sublimated the relationship to the level of brothers. It's too worthless to be his brother.
Regia touched her blonde hair and said pointedly, "Maybe it's safer for the two of you to go together." ”
"What do you mean?" I turned to look at her. She hurriedly shook her hand, "I don't mean anything else, it's just that if I go to that morgue alone, I'll be scared too." ”
I was about to ask, but Officer Dre was impatient, and he looked at his watch and leaned over and said, "Hurry up, I've got other things to do here." ”
Forget it, it's not too late to ask when you come back, in short, it's a passing scene to see the remains, and it doesn't take too long at all.
I dragged Andrew down the stage, and the priest nodded at us both and removed a white cloth behind him. A small door piled high with flowers immediately revealed. He opened the door and made a gesture of please, "Your uncle's coffin is placed in the innermost part of the corridor, please come out and sign it when you have read it." We were ready to be buried in the grave in the afternoon. ”
"This, what's going on? Adventure King Race? Andrew glanced at the dark, narrow passage and turned pale with fright.
I'm also a little confused. For the funeral, the ceremony of worship is held at the back of the church hall, separated by a white cloth. How could this church be a little subversive, and actually threw the coffin to what looked like a secret passage.
"Get in here." Seeing that we were always grinding, the priest, who had a somewhat obscene appearance, simply pushed us in.
It was dark before our eyes, and our bodies had entered the passage. It's dim, but it's not dark, it's just that the light is very dim. The smell of the passage carries a smell of decay and does not seem to be ventilated very often.
"I'm afraid." Andrew was so frightened that he almost cried, his huge hands tugging at my clothes, trying to shrink his huge body behind my back. It was very awkward to see a two-meter-tall man make a delicate and scared look, and it made goosebumps pop up.
"What is there to be afraid of, come with me, hurry up." I snorted, bothered to pay attention to him, and strode straight into the depths of the passage.
"Wait for me, it's really scary." Andrew screamed and hurriedly chased after him.
This corridor stretches all the way forward, and judging by the direction, it should lead to the depths of the mountain. The age of the building is probably as old as this church. Perhaps the morgue at the end was used to lay the bodies of former priests. After all, it is adjacent to the mining area, and many people have died. More than 100 years ago, most of the churches in Europe had the function of parking the corpses of ordinary people. This custom is still practiced in many places today.
The tunnel was narrow enough for me to pass through, and Andrew was squeezing it very hard. It wasn't as far as I imagined, it was only two minutes, and it was already at the end. At the end of the passage is a burial chamber with nearly 100 square meters, and the light is as dim as the light. In this empty space, a coffin sits in the center, and Dr. Blank's body lies inside.
"Let's go and see your uncle, let's go." I nudged Andrew behind me.
"Stay with me." He grabbed my hand with all the rage.
This guy has been timid to an extraordinary degree, what a nuisance. Hengzhi has already come, and it's not bad to go and see it. I led him step by step towards the coffin.
The lid of the coffin was lifted, and Blank's body was buried in flowers, leaving only the head and hands exposed. His hands were clasped together, and his face was pale and bloodless. The shocking wound on the neck can still be vaguely seen after treatment.
