Chapter 225: The Corpse Washer
The staff member who was secretly photographed on the screen was looking at the woman on the portrait in a daze, and after looking at it for a while, he actually walked over and put on the clothes of the deceased. On the chair was the deceased's red padded jacket, a pair of jeans, and a pair of casual shoes. Fortunately, this staff member is lean, and women can wear clothes.
After a short time, he put on a red cotton jacket, barely put on jeans, and tucked his feet into casual shoes. Dressed like a woman, the ghost of the big night, the picture is shaking, this is the photographer who shoots because of fear caused his hands to tremble, the camera can hardly hold it.
The man sat on a chair under the statue, dressed like the deceased, picked up the ghost rice with three sticks of incense, pulled it with his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but say, "Could it be a ghost?" ”
There are two most suspicious places, one is that this person was followed from beginning to end without noticing, and the second is that his behavior is quite stiff and his behavior is contrary to common sense, and the most likely explanation is that this person is no longer him, and the ghost is on his body.
Blind Li said beside him: "You think the same as me. ”
The picture changed, and the person who ate the ghost meal suddenly raised his head, and his eyes glowed red in the dark, like wolf eyes. He stared straight at the screen, and I got goosebumps all over my body from his evil eyes, and in the next scene he suddenly threw down his job and threw himself at the camera with a strange scream.
The lens suddenly lost focus, swaying up and down, and at the same time there was the sound of a person snoring and panting, the picture changed quickly, and people were dizzy to see, and it could be seen that the photographer was desperately running out.
I was looking at it all over my body when the frame stopped, and that's all I could see.
I breathed a sigh of relief, my palms were sweaty, and Zhou Zhiwen said: "This video was shot by our film crew Xiao Jiang. ”
Xiao Jiang is a little fat man, wearing glasses, looking harmless to people and animals, but his eyes are all sophisticated in the old rivers and lakes. Xiao Jiang said in green Mandarin: "I took it, and I was almost scared to death at the time." ”
"How did you get to photograph this guy in the first place?" I asked.
Xiao Jiang said: "The film crew planned to increase the footage of the night scene of the funeral home, I went to look for the scene in the middle of the night alone, and accidentally saw that this person behaved very strangely, so I followed him to shoot him, but I didn't expect to dig up such a big news." ”
"Have you informed the funeral home?" I asked.
These people looked at each other and shook their heads, and Zhou Zhiwen said: "If the unit leader is notified, this staff member is likely to lose his job." In mainland parlance, it means being laid off. I know that your standard of living is not high, many of you are barely able to make ends meet, and it is not easy to have such a job, we have reservations about this video, and it will only be used as a backup of information, and will not be edited into an official documentary. ”
I snorted twice, "You're kind. ”
Li Blind coughed: "After watching this video, I realized that there are so many secrets hidden under the dark night of the funeral home." ”
He gave me a look. I didn't understand what it meant, so I just kept silent and watched him play.
Li Blind said: "I and Xiao Zhou Xiaojiang have summed it up, and we plan to visit the funeral home again tonight, I want to see what the hell this person is doing." ”
I was a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but say, "The poop on our buttocks hasn't been wiped clean yet, why are you rubbing other people's toilets again." ”
A few Hong Kongers were confused by my Northeast dialect, but they knew that my attitude was very negative.
Blind Li said with a big grin: "You just listen to me, act tonight." After the film of the funeral home was finished, I introduced some rural white things to the film crew, which is the authentic folk customs. ”
Zhou Zhiwen is like a female white-collar worker in the company, but her courage is surprisingly big, hearing such a thing, ordinary women have long been scared away, she also took the initiative to go up, and said happily: "Master Li, thank you very much." ”
Blind Li looked at his watch: "Yo, it's so late, let's talk about it after eating." ”
Zhou Zhiwen said: "Okay, let's eat together, let's pay first." ”
Everyone talked and went out with a smile, Li Blind really has a ability, he can rub his food wherever he goes, this kung fu is really not something that ordinary people can learn.
Coincidentally, their film crew also stayed in our hotel, so it was convenient for everyone to go up and down the stairs. Everyone gathered together to eat in the restaurant, Li was blind, his mouth was full of oil, and he didn't have the demeanor of a master of rivers and lakes at all.
After eating, he hiccuped and said to go back and rest first. I went to his room, and when I closed the door, I complained, not knowing what he had in mind.
Li Blind said: "You are still hairy." If you think about it, if someone in the funeral home insults the body, now let's enter in the name of the film crew, and the investigation is the most convenient. ”
"What's convenient, you didn't see a few of them being beaten up all over the street." I say.
Li Blind said: "The most important thing is that we can share information with them, if you don't know these Hong Kong people, where can you watch that video." ”
"That's ......," I suddenly realized, "You want to find the funeral home insider who insulted the corpse?" ”
"Yes." Li Blind said: "I always feel that there is a problem with this funeral home, and it is a big problem. ”
"Didn't you say that the funeral home is a separate case, we should investigate the matter of the grove." I say.
Blind Li took out his mobile phone, clicked on the Gaode map, and swiped the map with his hand to expand, "Look." The Shazipo grove and the Guangming Mountain Funeral Home are very close, and today I also heard a piece of information, where will the bodies of those who committed suicide in Shazipo be sent? It's all sent to this funeral home. And," he paused, "there are many bodies of people who have committed suicide, and no one has claimed them." ”
I was stunned.
Li Blind said: "According to the "Regulations on the Administration of Funerals", after the public security bureau of unclaimed corpses is inspected, identified, and photographed and registered, it will be publicized for 60 days, that is, two months. After two months, it is still unclaimed, and the funeral home can dispose of it on its own with a death certificate. How many people have died in that grove from time to now, and where have their bodies gone? ”
"Don't talk like it's true," I said, "where?" It's all burned. The ashes were scattered on the mountain. ”
Li Blind said: "As far as I know, among these people who commit suicide, most of them are little girls and daughters-in-law, especially girls who are eighteen or nineteen or twenty years old, pampered, and can't think about it, and they can cut their wrists when they fall out of love." Will something go wrong with the bodies of these little girls when they are sent to the funeral home? ”
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Li Blind said: "I always have a feeling that there will be some kind of connection between the corpses of the daughter we investigated who have been mutilated twice." On the map, he used his fingers to draw a horizontal line between the Shazipo Suicide Forest and the Guangming Mountain Funeral Parlor.
I blinked, and understood, "Are you trying to get started from the funeral home and find out the clues of the humiliation of the corpse in the grove?" ”
"Yes, it's called backwards." Blind Li said: "Anyway, there are no other clues now, and if you are idle, you will be idle, so let's beat the child on a rainy day." Besides, even if the Tianguang Group can't get paid, the Hong Kong film crew also has consulting fees, and we haven't worked in vain. Young man, learn to do it, don't put all your eggs in one basket, this is a trick to run the rivers and lakes. ”
He fell asleep and told me to call him in the middle of the night.
I had no choice but to go back to my room and try to sleep for a while, this night must be an all-nighter, hurry up and recuperate.
I was asleep this night, someone banged on the door, I went over in a daze and opened the door, it was Li Blind, and the film crew.
I looked at my watch, and before I knew it, it was past one o'clock at night. I came out with them and walked all the way to the funeral home, which was also brightly lit and on duty at night. Lord Yama didn't accept people on time, and if he couldn't keep it, there would be the deceased who was sent over in the middle of the night.
Xiao Jiang took us not to enter from the main gate, but to go around the mountain and enter from the path, so that there was no need to register at the gate.
Funeral parlors are generally built in the middle of the mountain, why is it called Guangming Mountain Funeral Parlor, surrounded by mountains on three sides. At night, the mountain wind blows, cold and biting, and there are a few strange bird calls from time to time in the back mountain, and the people who listen to it stand up their hairs. There were a lot of us, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Soon came out of the mountains and went to the funeral home. We followed Xiao Jiang to the annex building and waited behind the flower bed.
I shivered: "Can we still wait, can that person be here today?" ”
Zhou Zhiwen, this girl is really good, on such a cold day, her face is red from the cold, and she is still motivated, and she told me that the staff person filmed in the video, they have already investigated clearly, her name is Zhu Daqiang, she is a corpse burner and corpse washer, and she got his duty schedule.
It's the first time I've heard of a corpse washer. The so-called corpse washers are like this, many people do not die of natural old age, and die for various reasons, such as car accidents, jumping into the river or something. Take a car accident as an example, when the body is sent to the funeral home, the whole person is particularly buried, in this case, the deceased needs to be washed before applying makeup. Generally, the makeup artist does not do this work, but hands it over to a special corpse washer.
The corpse washer is not a specialized type of work, it is all concurrently served by the internal staff of the funeral home, who comes to wash a corpse and gets paid according to the amount of work, and receives a piecework wage.
