Chapter 25: Someone Dies
I looked at the coin, and my face turned white.
"It's better to burn this kind of thing," said Grandma, and took it out and burned it, and the ashes of the burn fell on the threshold, and something was falling on the threshold.
I walked over and picked it up, and it was clearly a face, exactly the same as when Tang Yong's body was found in the ancestral hall.
My hands stiffened, and I panicked for a moment, thinking that something was going to happen.
At this time, a siren sounded outside, and someone was shouting something from a distance.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Grandma muttered, ran out to look, and saw thick smoke in the distance, "Stop...... It's on fire......"
I clutched my face and ran out of the way, running along the burning spot.
A house on the west side of the village caught fire, the fire was burning from the inside out, the flames escaped from the roof, and the villagers were carrying water to extinguish the fire one after another, followed by fire trucks and police cars arriving at the same time.
Five minutes later, the fire was extinguished, and Shen Yaozhi led people into the house, and a person was carried out from inside, very thin, skinny and bone-like, and his body was scorched by the fire in many places.
I crouched down beside the corpse, his face burned beyond recognition, and pulled out of his pocket the burned half-box of cigarettes, exactly the same as the one I gave him last night.
"Miss, you can't touch a corpse!" Someone said next to me.
I looked at the corpse in a daze, someone started to pull me, but Shen Yaozhi stopped me.
"Tang Anran, it's you again?" Shen Yaozhi said in surprise, squatted down, put on gloves, and asked while examining the corpse, "Do you know the deceased?" ”
"No, I don't know," I shook my head and whispered, looking at Shen Yaozhi with a calm gaze, "I saw him last night. ”
"......" Shen Yaozhi paused for a moment and motioned for me to continue, and then, he ripped off the deceased's tattered clothes, and there were several deep knife marks left on his heart.
"He came to my house to buy cigarettes, his head was down, he was very thin, he smelled of smoke on his body, and he was talking in a hum, this mask should be the ...... pulled down"
I recalled his appearance, and the neighbor next to me, who was being questioned by the police, heard it and interrupted me, "Yes, yes, yes, she is talking about Tang Wei." Tang Wei is a well-known gangster in the village, who drank with several gangsters in the village a few years ago, hit someone with a car, and was also imprisoned, and was just released from prison not long ago. He is a very addicted to smoking, and the whole person is so thin that only a skeleton remains......"
The neighbor said, as if he thought of something, and raised his voice, "By the way, last night, a woman came to find Tang Wei......"
As soon as he said this, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and a woman squeezed in from the crowd, and when she saw Tang Wei's death, her eyes widened, and she sat on the ground with her butt slumped, shouting: "It's a ghost, it's a ghost, he has become a ghost to ask for his life......"
"Miss, are you alright?" The police went to help her, the woman's whole body was trembling, and she hugged the policeman's arm, "Help me, you save me, he burned Tang Wei to death, the next one will be me, save me......"
"It's her, it's her who I saw last night!" The neighbor pointed at the woman and shouted.
Shen Yaozhi's eyes tightened, stopped the movements in his hand, walked quickly to the woman, and asked, "Who is he?" ”
The woman looked at Shen Yaozhi, her eyes flickering with fear, "He...... It's Tang Shanwen, it's Tang Shanwen, he has become a powerful ghost to take revenge...... They're all dead, I'm the only one left, and he's going to come to me......"
Shen Yaozhi narrowed his pupils and asked again, "Why is Tang Shanwen looking for you?" Could it be that his death has something to do with you? ”
The woman was asked urgently, gasped, and said with red eyes: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it...... Ah......h
The woman held her head, lost control of her emotions, screamed, and fainted.
Shen Yaozhi stiffened his face and asked people to take her back to the police station.
"Team Shen, this corpse ...... Do you still carry it to the police station? The two policemen stood next to Tang Wei's corpse, looking at Shen Yaozhi with some hesitation, last time, Tang Yong suddenly disappeared from the morgue, and opened his eyes again when he appeared at the door of the police station, which made them all a little jealous.
Shen Yaozhi knew what they were worried about, thought about it, asked them to carry the body back, and invited someone over by the way.
The moment the corpse lifted up, several things fell from him and fluttered to the ground.
I stared at the few white hairs, and my heart suddenly lifted, and I stepped forward and picked it up, and I was very sure that this was the white cat's hair.
So, last night, it was here too!
