Chapter Seventy-Three: The Spiritualist Ritual
Respect for the dead is to arrange a funeral for him, so that he can complete the final process of life.
Although there are no relatives and friends, Wu Ming still has to arrange a funeral for Wu Kai, and if there are no relatives and friends, it means that he is a foreigner, so in the process of simple burial, a spiritualist ceremony should be added.
According to the older generation, the soul of a guest who dies in a foreign country cannot find a way back. This soul will remain in a foreign land like his corpse, suffering endless misery. Nor can he enjoy the worship of cigarettes, the provision of food, and the excesses of scripture. This lonely soul will become the most miserable hungry ghost, forever reincarnated in a foreign land, wandering for a long time, with no hope of reincarnation. Unless someone "summons" his soul for him, so that his soul can return to the body, and according to the instructions, send the soul away in the direction of his home.
Wu Ming used Wu Kai's money before his death to set up the mourning hall in a special room of the funeral home, which placed the deceased's portrait, incense candles, ever-bright lamps and other useful items.
After getting ready, take the spirit flag, set up a high ladder outside, step on the top of the ladder, wave the spirit flag, and shout Wu Kai's name three times.
The pitch of these three voices should be high first and then low, as if Wu Kai's soul had heard it, and when he was far away, he naturally had to shout loudly, and when he was close, he spoke calmly.
The number of shouts is only three, not more or less, and the human body only has three souls, so it can only be shouted three times. After shouting, Wu Ming put the spirit flag on the roof of the house, and lit the ever-bright lantern in the house, and the ever-bright lamp was not extinguished, even if the spirit conjuring was completed.
Wu Ming used Wu Kai's mobile phone to send this message in a group, and there were not many people who came to the funeral, most of them were employees of their company, and they also had a few friends.
Wu Kai's family also called, crying silently, Wu Ming said that let his family come here within three days, he helped Wu Kai send his soul, let Wu Kai's soul return to his hometown.
Three days later, Wu Kai's family came, in addition to Wu Kai's parents, there were some people who helped Zhang Luo, they took Wu Kai's ashes away according to Wu Ming's statement, first found a fork in the road, burned some paper money, and then walked along the intersection, and waited until the river was crossed, before they could make a detour back to their hometown, and when they returned to their hometown, they couldn't walk this road.
After sending Wu Kai away, Wu Ming's heart was a little melancholy, and he always felt that he should have saved this person, but unfortunately he didn't think much about it at that time, and he didn't put his mind on this person.
Wu Kai's flower shop is yellow, and the landlord has come several times, and it is quite taboo to die of such a thing. Because he saw that Wu Ming was presiding over the funeral, he begged Wu Ming for help. Wu Ming was fine, just waiting for the landlord to bring someone to smash the furniture left by the flower shop that had been discarded and thrown into the trash, and then Wu Ming gave Wu Kai some paper money at the intersection and muttered a few words.
The landlord thanked Wu Ming and gave Wu Ming a gift package of 138. Wu Ming was not polite, so he took it. After taking the money, he naturally had to leave, but he kicked the wastebasket, and the contents were spilled, and Wu Ming glanced at it by the way, and actually saw Chang Kun's name. Wu Kai's wastebasket, how can there be Chang Kun's name?
Thinking of this, Wu Ming kept an eye on it, folded the paper and put it in his pocket. After saying goodbye to the landlord, Wu Ming went back. The past two days have been very tired, Wu Ming lay on the bed on all fours, and closed his eyes so tired. What suddenly came to mind? He jumped up and said anxiously: "The exam will be in two days, and there are still ten sets of real questions that have not been done?" ”
Tired like a dog, I have to work hard to learn.
Although I forced myself to sit on the table, I also touched my upper eyelids and lower eyelids, and I was in a trance for half an hour, and the multiple-choice questions were not finished yet. Wu Ming smiled helplessly, and was about to wash his face, when Jin Zhiai's call came. Jin Zhiai said that although Wen Hanyun was called to the police station, there was no evidence to prove that Wen Hanyun had killed someone.
"That's the evidence at the time of death, it's a pity that the murderer was not caught."
Kim Ji Ai is a jealous and hateful woman, and if she can't catch the criminal, she will feel uncomfortable. Wu Ming smiled when he heard this: "Maybe it's really a coincidence?" ”
"We police don't believe in coincidences."
"The mourners believe it!"
"Wu Ming, are you carrying it with me?"
Wu Ming was a little helpless, he heard it, my sister was really in a bad mood, and I wanted to talk to Jin Zhiai about the thing I found today, and the piece of paper was a list of electrocardiograms. After thinking about it, forget it. While pondering, he also listened to Jin Zhiai's nagging. Jin Zhiai said: "Wen Hanyun admitted that when her first husband died, she also went to that city, and she said that she wanted to divorce her husband, but she didn't think about it, so she came back again." This evidence only proves that she went to that city, but there is no way to prove that she went to her husband's hotel. The second and third ones she shirked with ease. We can only suspect, but there is no valid evidence. ”
"Tomorrow, Wen Hanyun will go to the doctor, and I will go again."
After Wu Ming put down the phone, he slept well and recuperated his spirits. The next day, I went to the hospital early, and even if I came early, the hospital team was crowded.
When Wu Ming arrived, the thirty numbers had already passed, and Wu Ming had an idea, so he said to the registered person, I came to pick up the eleventh number, and the registered one was a little surprised, saying that the eleventh number had not come for six or seven days, and this number was hung for him. If Wu Ming takes it, he will settle the previous account.
"How much?"
“140!”
Hearing this number, Wu Ming's eyes widened. I earned a gift of 138 from the landlord, and now I am still happy in my heart, but the money was used so quickly. lost two yuan, Wu Ming grinned in distress.
Anyway, I can finally see Wen Hanyun.
"Why are you again?"
Wen Hanyun was very impatient when he saw Wu Ming, Wu Ming smiled and said, "I came to see a doctor and did an examination." ”
After speaking, Wu Ming handed the list he picked up from Wu Kai to Wen Hanyun, Wen Hanyun glanced at the list, and saw Wu Ming fold the list with his ghostly eyes, and his name was covered.
"If you look at this test list, you do have heart disease, but unfortunately, this is Wu Kai's test list."
Wu Ming's eyes widened when he heard this, and he suddenly understood that this was the case. After figuring it out, Wu Ming didn't even say goodbye, turned around and left.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
Wu Ming turned over the name of the inspection sheet, and on the inspection sheet, Chang Kun's name was written on it.
"I found evidence."
Wen Hanyun's face changed suddenly.
