5. The truth about the corpse

The next day, Qiao Wei and I arrived at the funeral home office building at nine o'clock. We first found the assistant curator and asked her to tell the curator that we had come to defraud the corpse. Less than a minute later, the curator was very enthusiastic and personally invited us to his office.

To my surprise, the curator looked very young, and he looked like he was in his thirties. He had very fashionable short hair, wore a simple white casual shirt and jeans, and did not have the annoying style of the average bureaucratic executive.

It's not just the curator who is special, but his office is also very special.

The whole office is more than 20 square meters at most, there is a small bookcase on the left side of the door, a row of home-style soft sofas on the right, and a very artistic "Z" shaped metal desk is placed horizontally by the window sill, and there is only a pen holder and a laptop on the desktop.

The whole office looks simple and simple, and has a small and fresh feeling, which is also very consistent with the temperament of the curator himself.

Qiao Wei and I had just sat down on the sofa when the assistant curator who had received us before brought tea and put it on the tea table, and then she exited the office and closed the door.

The curator still politely motioned for Qiao Wei and I to drink saliva to moisten our throats first, and then asked where we heard about the corpse fraud.

I certainly couldn't betray my eldest cousin and cousin-in-law, but I didn't want to make up some nonsense excuses, so I said bluntly: "It doesn't matter where we got the news, the important thing is that we can help you solve your problems, we are experts in this area, and some things are not just delayed." Another thing you can rest assured is that we won't go out and talk nonsense. ”

The curator smiled after hearing this: "It seems that you two must know something, but there is one thing I must emphasize, I don't believe in corpses, ghosts, gods, or anything." I don't hide it from the two of you, in 04 and 07, there were indeed two people who died in the funeral home, and the death was very strange, but this must have nothing to do with ghosts, because the police solved the case in the year of the accident, but we didn't make a public statement. ”

"Solved the case?" I was surprised.

"yes, it's all a prank." The curator explained: "Lao Zheng died in 04, he was a little superstitious, always chattering all day long, and then his classmates wanted to tease him, so they took advantage of his night patrol to turn on the lights of a mourning hall that had not stopped the mortuary, and also turned on the coffin and placed a spiritual position, Lao Zheng regarded the ethereal hall as a mortuary mourning hall, and when he saw an empty coffin, he thought it was a corpse." ”

"Then what happened to him freezing to death in a coffin?" I asked again.

The curator sighed and said: "I, the deputy curator, and the director on duty have all talked to Lao Zheng and told him not to be superstitious about deceitful corpses, but Lao Zheng didn't believe it on the spot, I was afraid that something would really happen to him mentally, so I arranged for him to be transferred." Later, he secretly ran to catch zombies at night, but when he met the night watchman, he hid in the coffin, but the corner of his clothes stuck the coffin lid inexplicably, and he couldn't push it open, and he died in it with freezing. ”

"That Lao Zheng didn't ask for help? If you can't push it away, you can hear it even if you knock it out in the coffin and watch the night! I questioned.

"The lid of the coffin is plexiglass, so thick that you can't knock it out much. Other than that...... Hey, it's a shame to say that in '04 we only arranged a night patrol at twelve o'clock, and then the morning shift went to check once. It was found that Lao Zheng was dead in the coffin and it was the employee who took over the shift in the morning. It was also because of that incident that it was changed to the current three-hour check. ”

The curator's explanation may sound plausible, but when you think about it, there are still doubts. There are too many places where the funeral home can hide, for example, the ethereal hall without lights is a desperate hiding place, and Weishenme Lao Zheng just hid in the coffin?

I then asked this question as well. The curator's explanation this time was vague, he said that it was all the conclusion given by the police, as for Lao Zheng Weishenme's choice to hide in the coffin, probably because Lao Zheng's mental state was already a little abnormal at that time, so he made an abnormal choice.

This answer didn't satisfy me, but I didn't dwell too much on these questions, but asked what happened to the man who died in Zero-7.

The curator sighed again, and then told me that the person who died in 07 was the same person who had played tricks on Lao Zheng three years ago.

According to the curator, after Lao Zheng died, the person who played tricks on Lao Zheng also took the initiative to come to him to admit his mistake, accept internal criticism, and deduct the bonus for several months. But these punishments are kept secret, and the curator feels that the person is already dead, and there is no need to make things bigger.

He thought that the matter would end here, but he didn't expect that after three years, the person who was playing tricks on Lao Zheng suddenly said that he saw someone sitting up in the coffin, and said that Lao Zheng borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul to ask for his life.

The rest was as I knew, a few days later it was discovered that the man who was playing tricks on Lao Zheng was missing, and Zuihou found the body in the paper-burning stove. However, the curator's account for the cause of death was different from what Peppa Pig told me - the cause of death was not unclear, but cardiac arrest caused by excessive shock.

The curator said that at first, the police suspected that Lao Zheng's family deliberately frightened the victim in revenge, but then the police found evidence that the deceased went to the hospital at the deceased's home, and also found the doctor who treated the deceased. According to the doctor, the deceased had severe depression, which could easily lead to hallucinations.

In the end, the police concluded that the deceased died due to excessive shock caused by hallucinations caused by mental illness, and that it was a natural death rather than homicide.

The truth of the matter was found out by the police, but the curator felt that there was no need to publicize it, so he decided to only let the family of the deceased know the truth, and implement a confidentiality strategy both internally and externally, so the only people in the funeral home who knew the truth about the two bizarre deaths in 04 and 07 were him and the deputy director.

Judging from the explanation given by the curator, the first two bizarre deaths seem to be related to the corpse, but in fact they have nothing to do with ghosts, and everything is caused by man-made disasters.

What happened to the fraudulent corpse that Feng Jiaxin encountered?

Is it another prank?

I don't believe that the attack on Feng Jiaxin was a hallucination, and the easiest way to determine if it was a prank or if there was really a ghost borrowing a corpse was to let Qiao Wei take a look at the corpse that had been parked in the first mourning hall on the fourth floor. So I then made this request to the curator as well.

It's a pity that Qiao Wei and I can't see this corpse anyway. The curator replied that the day after Feng Jiaxin fainted, the so-called corpse was sent to the crematorium for cremation.
