44. Fraudulent corpse?
The two long white candles in front of the mourning hall flickered with faint candlelight, illuminating everything in the hall hazy. Tang Mo hurriedly glanced around, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while. Finally, he slowly locked his eyes on the coffin containing the body of Old Madam Li.
That's right, the coffin lid! How did the lid of the coffin be removed?
The first reaction in Tang Mo's mind was that Old Madam Li had cheated the corpse?
If this were to be replaced by other people's words, he would have been scared down a long time ago, but Tang Mo had lived with the ghost hunter for so many years, and not only did he not feel afraid of the corpse, but an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.
Hehe, it's fun now, when the time comes, take the corpse of Mrs. Li to the Zhou family, and then let her go to Aunt Huang and Li Yuer.
Haha, Tang Mo squinted his eyes, imagining how the nobles who usually put their eyes on the top of their heads to look at them would look like crying dad and calling their mother when they opened their eyes in the dark and saw the dead Old Madam Li suddenly appeared in front of them? Don't mention how happy I am.
The more Tang Mo thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing that Old Madam Li's body would jump out as soon as possible. But after waiting for a while, he didn't see the old lady Li's chicken-claw-like corpse holding the coffin and crawling out of it, Tang Mo was a little breathless, and after thinking about it, he decided to go over and see what was going on. If Old Madam Li's body was stuck by something, Tang Mo would definitely not mind helping her.
Tang Mo took a small candle, walked to the coffin and went inside, uh, what the hell is this Old Madam Li's face? It's all Tao, as if someone had drawn an abstract geometric diagram on her face. Not to mention this sudden glance, it's really more scary than a corpse.
Tang Mo waited patiently for a while, and found that this Old Madam Li was lying peacefully, and there was no sign of wanting to get up and cheat the corpse, and a little loss suddenly rose in his heart.
Strange, since Mrs. Li did not cheat the corpse, how did the coffin lid be removed? Tang Mo looked around, except for Mo Jing, who was already asleep, there was only one big living person left. The lid of the coffin was so dead that no two adult men even thought of moving it. Tang Mo thought about it for a long time and didn't understand what was going on, could it be that the hateful Zhou family was doing this prank to scare them?
Seeing that Old Madam Li's body was fine, drowsiness gradually came back to him, and Tang Mo planned to go back and lean against the pillar to squint again. As soon as I raised my feet to leave, my heart suddenly moved, by the way, didn't that Ma Catcher ask me to pour the contents of the porcelain vase into Mrs. Li's face? I still thought that if I couldn't move the coffin lid, forget it, but now it's okay, the coffin lid will be moved automatically, isn't it God helping me.
Thinking of this, Tang Mo suddenly became interested, she immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, then pulled out the cork, and poured all the liquid in the bottle onto Mrs. Li's face without trembling with her hands. Then he lowered the candle and stared curiously at Mrs. Li's face to see what had changed.
After a while, I saw that Old Madam Li's face was like a porcelain bottle that had been dropped, and suddenly there were a lot of cracks, and then there were more and more seams, dense, and finally the epidermis on the face turned into a fine powder, just as Tang Mo was looking up and down in his heart, a gust of wind came from nowhere, and the powder on Old Madam Li's face was suddenly blown away. At this time, when Tang Mo stabilized his mind and took a closer look, it was strange that Old Madam Li's face instantly changed to another face.
This, what is this? Corpse water? No, if it's corpse water, not to mention that Old Madam Li's face can't be saved, it is estimated that there will not even be a little scum left of her skull. But now the skin on Mrs. Li's face has not changed at all, it is just a different appearance. Could it be that this Mrs. Li is fake, but she just wore a fake face and was given the appearance of Mrs. Li?
The more Tang Mo thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the hand holding the porcelain vase trembled slightly.
At this time, there was a slight sound of breathing behind him, cold, and Tang Mo's body stiffened.
Could it be that Mo Jing woke up? Tang Mo looked at the place where Mo Jing was sitting out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Mo Jing was still leaning against the wall and sleeping soundly!
It's over, this fake old lady Li didn't cheat the corpse, but she attracted other ghosts. Alas...... I don't know if it's a ghost or a little ghost?
Tang Mo gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, clenched the candle with one hand, clenched the other into a fist, and then suddenly turned around and waved it behind him. In an instant, someone grabbed his wrist, and Tang Mo grinned in pain, and was about to scold him, but his mouth was covered tightly.
"Shhhh Don't scream, it's me! ”
The person who came slowly let go of his hand, put his mouth attached to Tang Mo's ear and whispered.
Hey, that sounds familiar.
Tang Mo struggled and turned his head to see that it was Luo Yan, who had disappeared for several days.
"Damn, this is the mourning hall, people are scary, they will scare people to death."
Tang Mo shook his wrist, which was grabbed by Luo Yan, and whispered angrily.
Luo Yan didn't speak, he casually took the candle in Tang Mo's hand and shone it into the coffin, and glanced at it a few times by the way.
"It's a fake, hehe, Zhou's they have been howling in vain these days."
Tang Mo gloated at Luo Yan, and at the same time raised the porcelain vase in his hand proudly towards him.
"Ma Yi gave it to you?"
Luo Yan glanced at the porcelain vase, and it seemed that he was not surprised by the tone.
"How do you know? Uh, you're stalking me? ”
Tang whispered strangely.
Luo Yan glanced at Tang Mo,
"I don't have the time to follow you, I only know that Ma Yi has been tracking down the murder of Mrs. Li."
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances. By the way, I think Li Jinnian's old fox probably has found out that his wife has been dropped. ”
Although Luo Yan's words were not good, Tang Mo was relieved when he heard him say that he didn't follow her, she was just afraid that if Luo Yan knew that she had crossed over from another unknown space, would he kill her as a monster?
"Uh, how do you know?"
On the day the old lady was carried back, Ma Yi came to the house to ask for an autopsy, but was rejected by Li Jinnian. Later, Li Jinnian immediately asked the wooden housekeeper to find someone to cover the coffin lid after waiting for Ma Yi to leave, do you think there will be no ghosts in his heart? In my opinion, he saw that this mother was a disguised fake. ”
"Yes, that makes sense. But Li Jinnian knew that this was not his own mother, why didn't he report to the official? ”
Tang Mo glanced at Luo Yan with disdain, Xiaoxiao, can your IQ be comparable to my aunt and grandmother? Let me tell you.
Tang Mo cleared his throat quietly, and then said with a hint of pride:
"You forgot that the 'Red Fish' is in the hands of Old Madam Li, the intention of that group of mountain bandits is obvious, and the purpose of arresting Old Madam Li is to force her to hand over the 'Red Fish'. So why did he give Li Jinnian a dead fake mother-in-law, the purpose was just to remind him that he should not be impatient. Otherwise, he will tear up his real mother at that time. So Li Jinnian had to cooperate with the mountain bandits to hold a funeral for the fake girl as a real mother to hide people's eyes. ”
"Rip the ticket?"
Luo Yan frowned, not understanding the word.
"It's to kill Mrs. Li."
Tang Mo explained with some impatience,
"I guess the person Li Jinnian wants to hide is just the government, maybe he is secretly planning how to save his real mother from the mountain bandits."
"That's a new thing you're saying."
Luo Yan listened, and a hint of mockery escaped from the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, how do you talk. What is fresh, I call it the result of rigorous logical thinking and reasoning. It's really a dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, and when you say this, it makes it seem like I'm trying to cover it up. ”
