Chapter 3: Something Goes Wrong
What the hell is a doll in red, a ghost? But does the ghost have a scent? Does it have a physical touch?
I don't know, but it's certain that the doll in red is definitely not human, because I didn't feel her breathing and heartbeat last night.
I stayed where I was for a while and didn't know what to do, the hot sun was shining on my body, but there was no temperature at all, and my body was cold.
Before, Chen Laogen said to help me find a way, and the red-clothed doll really has no signs of harming me at present, so things still have a turnaround.
Now that Chen Laogen is gone, there is no turning point, he is alone and does not understand anything, seeing that Chen Laogen is almost like running for his life away from me, this thing is not an ordinary danger.
"What should I do?" When the six gods returned to the store, I was uneasy.
At this moment, his mobile phone suddenly vibrated and it was an unfamiliar number.
Press the answer button, and ask the other side: "Meng Lei?" ”
I jumped up directly from the chair, it was Chen Laogen, "Damn, why did you run?" ”
"If I don't run, I'll die!" Chen Laogen said something that made me tremble even more.
"So what should I do, do I run too?" I couldn't sit still.
"You must not run!" Chen Laogen's voice rose several degrees, and said, "Calm down first and talk about last night." ”
I hurriedly said yes, and then told me in detail what happened last night, and there was nothing to hide, for fear of missing the details.
Chen Laogen was obviously relieved after hearing this, and said: "The situation is better than expected, you listen, there are some inexplicable things in our township recently, which are very dangerous, you try to spend the night in the store at night, don't go out, let alone go to the mountains; Notify me immediately if anything is unusual. ”
"That'...... What about the red-clothed doll? "I was relieved, but fortunately, Chen Laogen just wanted to get out of danger and didn't abandon me.
"She's not in danger to you for the time being, just don't provoke her, you can only walk a little and watch a while now; Take my words to heart and try not to go out at night, especially in the mountains. Chen Laogen said, and hung up in a hurry after speaking, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Putting down the phone, I was even more suspicious, because Chen Laogen said that something inexplicable had appeared in the township; Pay attention to the point, not one, but some.
Could it be that the doll in red is just one of them? Anything else?
And he repeatedly told me not to go to the mountains, as if the mountains were particularly dangerous.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the situation of Jinpen Township, Jinpen Township is said to be a township, in fact, it is a big village, a radius of only ten miles, the statistical population is 15,000, many young people also go out to work, so the permanent population is not even 10,000, surrounded by reckless forests, there is only one road out of the township.
The only resources are timber and bamboo from the mountains, and the state has set up three state-run forest farms here in one go, and you can fully imagine how isolated it is.
If it is in the city, the population of several larger communities is more than that of Jinpen Township.
……
Anyway, when I contacted Chen Laogen, my hanging heart finally fell a lot, and I kept his number firmly in my heart, the mobile phone can be lost, but the number cannot be forgotten, this is a lifesaver.
After a casual breakfast, I turned my attention back to the delivery slip.
Because I found a clue, when the express mail, the express company is impossible to allow others to smear the express face sheet, especially the single number, which is the "ID card" of the express delivery, to scan and enter the system, if the single number is painted how to scan?
In other words, it is very likely that this tracking number was painted after the express delivery arrived, otherwise it would not have been sent to the township at all.
The lightning flashed in my mind, the postman of the township post office, Feng Deliang. He was in charge of the last stop of the delivery, and the red-clothed doll was the one he sent me.
Without hesitation, I immediately left the store and ran to the post office in the township, which had to be clarified.
But as soon as I turned the corner, I noticed from a distance that there was a large crowd of people outside the post office, and many of them were rushing towards it.
Nothing will happen, right?
I chuckled in my heart, had a very bad premonition, and immediately sped up.
"Leizi is coming, something is wrong!" Before I could get closer, a black and sturdy young man on the periphery of the crowd beckoned to me.
When I looked at it, it was Fa Xiao Cao Nan, who grew up playing with mud since childhood, and the relationship was very iron.
Walking closer, Cao Nan glanced at me, "Why is your face so ugly?" ”
"It's okay, I've stayed up too late these days, what's going on inside?" I instinctively panicked, the matter of the red-clothed doll was too evil to involve Cao Nan, not to mention that he couldn't help me, knowing it would only bring him danger.
"The postman Feng Deliang is dead." Cao Nan said.
My heart pumped, I was too late!
It is very likely that the courier order was smeared by Feng Deliang, he just sent me yesterday, and he died today, which is not so coincidental.
At this time, I recalled a detail, when I signed for the doll yesterday, everyone laughed at me, but he was expressionless, and I felt that something was wrong with him at that time, and he used to be very joking.
"Check it out." I immediately squeezed inside.
Cao Nan hurriedly grabbed me, "Don't go, Leizi, you're about to get married, don't get this kind of bad luck, I heard people say that the death is quite miserable, it is a horizontal death." ”
"No, I have to go." I shook off Cao Nan and walked inside; Now that the public security has not come, if the public security seals off the scene, there will be no chance to see it.
Soon I squeezed inside, Cao Nan also followed, and several people from the post office were calling, but no one stopped us; Go to the lobby and on the far left of the lobby is the office of the postal service.
Walking to the door of the office, I gasped at the sight inside.
I saw Feng Deliang sitting on the chair, looking ahead with a pair of eyes wide, the black pupils that were originally the size of a dime shrank to the tip of the chopsticks, and the pupils almost shrunk into the eyes of needles.
This is a manifestation that can only occur in the face of extreme fright.
The cause of its death was a marker on its neck, which penetrated deep into its throat, and the blood flowed down its neck, which had dried up and turned black, apparently dead for a long time.
"I'll go!"
Cao Nan was also frightened by this scene, and instinctively took two steps back.
My scalp is numb, what did Feng Deliang see before he died, how could he be so frightened?
There is also the marker, and the courier bill in his pocket is most likely painted with this marker.
After a pause, I noticed that Feng Deliang had one hand on the desk, so I had the courage to lean over.
I saw that on the black desk, a bloodstained outline of the word "stone" was shocking, and Feng Deliang's finger fell on the last stroke of the word "stone". Apparently, this was the last word he wrote before he died.
"This ...... It's murder. Cao Nan also saw it and said, "There must be a stone character in the murderer's name." ”
I stiffened, didn't there be a stone character in my name, or three stone characters superimposed.
What does Feng Deliang mean, point to me? But I'm not a murderer.
Just as I was wondering, a siren sounded outside.
"Leizi is going out, the public security is here." Cao Nan immediately pulled me out.
After we ran out of the gate, the public security also got off the police car, and two people went in to check accompanied by the personnel of the post office, and the rest pulled the cordon, this kind of murder is rare in Jinpen Township.
Not long after, Feng Deliang's wife was notified to come, and after seeing Feng Deliang's body, she cried to death on the spot.
While comforting Feng Deliang's wife, the public security investigated the case, and soon news came out that Feng Deliang committed suicide, as evidenced by the monitoring of the post office, and he personally inserted the marker pen into his throat, and the evidence was ironclad.
This result makes me a little unbelievable, there are many ways for a person to commit suicide, you can hang yourself and jump off the building, there is no pain, a momentary thing.
How painful is it to stick a pen down your throat? How to get started? The tip of the pen is not a knife, so it is not so easy to poke.
The most important thing is that Feng Deliang's eyes before death are too terrible, if he commits suicide, is it necessary to be frightened like that? One person is not even afraid of death, but is he afraid of anything else?
My intuition tells me that this matter is not so simple, and even the attitude of the police is very intriguing.
After thinking about it, I immediately dialed Chen Laogen's phone, but the phone didn't work, so I had to make up a text message and send it over.
Feng Deliang's death was characterized as a suicide, so the procedure went very quickly, the police took the body away in the morning, waited for the forensic doctor from the county to examine the body at noon, and returned the body to Feng Deliang's family for burial in the afternoon.
Feng Deliang's family lives three miles away from the polder, and the funeral drum was raised at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to start preparations for the funeral, and many people went to help.
The countryside is different from the city, it is a society of acquaintances, so no matter whether it is a red or white celebration, the big guys help each other, at most invite a mage and a team of gongs and drums.
It is reasonable, Feng Deliang and I are quite familiar, and we live nearby, so I should go to help, but I am always a little uneasy and dare not go.
The word "stone" he wrote improvisedly even gave me a very bad premonition.
When he was nervous, the mobile phone suddenly rang, it was Chen Laogen.
I pressed the answer button like lightning, and after Chen Laogen confirmed that it was me, he said solemnly: "Meng Lei, you have to find a way to burn Feng Deliang's body, and you must not let the corpse stay overnight, otherwise something will happen." ”
"What?" I was stunned at first, but after I reacted, my head suddenly became bigger.
Burning corpses, what kind of joke?
The countryside advocates the burial of whole corpses, and burning corpses is a great disrespect to the ancestors, and it is to be poked in the back, and the Feng family will never agree.
Chen Laogen explained: "Feng Deliang is dead horizontally, he is deeply resentful, today the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar is close to the full moon, it is very likely to cheat the corpse, if you really cheat the corpse, the first target is you!" ”
I only felt a chill rushing from the soles of my feet to my head, and the hairs on my body exploded, and my whole body shivered.
The dead man attacked himself with the corpse...... That picture, just thinking about it, I feel like I'm about to pee my pants!
