Officer Shi sneered: "How many of you can't take responsibility? If you can't take responsibility, why publish these obituaries? ”

The young men said confidently: "People pay us to advertise, why don't we do it?" ”

Officer Shi said, "But the man is not dead yet. Isn't it a bit outrageous that you publish an obituary like this? ”

The young man sighed and said, "Officer Shi, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry. The newspaper is not doing well. If we don't think of a way, we won't be able to pay out next month's bonus. What's more, didn't something happen either? ”

Officer Shi sat down, his eyes slightly closed, his fingers kept tapping on the table. He knocked for a moment and said, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, do you?" When your obituary is published, those people are literally dead. And the time of death, and the obituary is written on it. Without the slightest error. Now there are rumors in the city that your newspaper is evil, who has been registered. Whoever is going to die. Some people don't know the truth. I'm even afraid that any enemy will write their name on it. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be doomed. ”

The young people were stunned for a moment, and they said bitterly: "Officer Shi, you won't believe this kind of nonsense, right?" We're just small editors, so we don't kill people to get a little bit of newspaper sales, right? ”

Officer Shi said, "I believe you're useless. The evidence is here. If you want to clear your name, be honest and tell you what you know. ”

The young men who were arguing with reason before all wilted, and they sighed and said, "Officer. If there's anything you want to know, just ask, we won't hide it. ”

Officer Shi smiled and said, "You said this earlier, wouldn't everything be easy to do?" ”

He asked, "Do you know the people who put the obituaries with you?" ”

Several young people immediately shook their heads: "I don't know." Never seen before. ”

Officer Shi asked again, "They all came in person?" ”

The young man said, "Yes, they all came to their own obituaries, and at first, it really scared us. But later, we saw more and got used to it. I think there is some kind of customs for the elderly now. When I was alive, I did the funeral, and then said goodbye to my relatives and friends. lest he go out of the funeral after death, and the excitement is lively, but he can't see it at all. ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You guys can really think about it." ”

Officer Shi banged on the table, thinking, and asked, "How many people have you published obituaries?" ”

The young man said, "About a dozen." Recently, people have come to publish obituaries every two or three days. To tell you the truth, not many people have boarded this thing in the past year and a half. I don't know what's going on lately, it's all living people who come to post obituaries. ”

Officer Shi said, "So many people have boarded? Can you give me their information? ”

The young man nodded, rummaged through the drawer for a moment, and then pulled out a few pieces of paper. I saw a picture of a man and a woman on it, and below was a description of the date of birth and death.

Officer Shi looked at it twice, then handed the stack of papers to a policeman and said, "Help me check to see if they are still there." ”

The policeman nodded in agreement, and then went to investigate with a stack of papers. After a short time, he returned, handed over a form, and said, "All are dead." And the time of death is exactly the same as that published in the newspaper. ”

The young people finally realized that the situation was serious, and they denied it one after another, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with us. We don't know anything, we just register the obituary. ”

Officer Shi was silent for a while, and then said, "It has nothing to do with you?" Then why did they all die after you advertised here? And all of them died by accident or illness, and none of them looked like murder. ”

The young man said weakly, "Maybe it's a coincidence." ”

Officer Shi looked at him and said, "More than a dozen people, it's all a coincidence?" Do you believe it? ”

The young man looked hesitant, then shook his head.

Officer Shi stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You're still young, I guess you can't do such a thing." Let's be honest. Who is behind it. ”

The young man looked panicked and said, "There is no mastermind behind it. We are innocent. ”

Officer Shi said, "Then have you been in contact with anyone recently?" Is it possible to kill people through the guò newspaper? ”

The young man smiled bitterly: "This is really nothing. ”

I whispered, "It's weird that you can kill someone by looking at a photo in a newspaper, right?" And God doesn't know it, we can't see it, isn't this person very powerful. ”

I looked at Mr. Lu, who was staring at the newspaper in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and an old lady walked in. This old lady is not young, her hair is neatly combed back, and she has a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.

When the old lady walked in, she looked east and west. Then he shouted to us: "Which of you is in charge?" ”

The young man looked at Officer Shi, and then asked the old lady, "Responsible for what?" ”

The old lady pushed her glasses and said, "The one in charge of registering the obituary." ”

As soon as we heard the words obituary, we all turned our heads to look at him.

The young man was like a mourner, and said with a bitter face: "Who is it for?" ”

The old lady took out a photo from her bag, on which the person was wearing a women's suit, looking very formal, but her eyes were extremely blank. She handed the photo over and said, "I'll post an obituary for myself." ”

The young man glanced at Officer Shi, and then asked, "Old lady, why do you want to publish an obituary when you are healthy?" How unlucky is that? ”

The old lady sighed and said, "In life, there are many accidents. I'm in good health now, and I might die in the evening. ”

Then she said to the young people, "When you publish the obituary, you change the font. The Song characters used before were too cold, and if they were italics, the effect was too cheerful. Replace it in bold letters, thick and sad. ”

Then, the old lady took out the newspaper, from the font to the font size, to the position of the publication. I said it in detail.

The young man gritted his teeth and listened, and said, "Old lady, we have the Lord in our hearts about this obituary, so don't worry about it." ”

The old lady said, "Can I not worry about it?" You're too ugly, that's why I'm here to teach you. ”

The young man said, "What do you do?" ”

The old lady folded the newspaper, put it back in her bag, and said, "Teacher, you teach in a middle school." ”

The young man breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I am not an expert, but listening to your tone, I thought it was the editor-in-chief of a newspaper." ”

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't care if I'm an expert or not." The quality of your work is not up to par, I will build yì, and in the future, I will publish an obituary, and I will follow my method. ”

The young man muttered and said, "But the point is, your method is no better than mine." ”

The old lady said lightly: "Much more clever than yours." You are just black under the lamp. ”

Then she strutted out.

Officer Shi winked, and a policeman stopped her.

The old lady said angrily, "What are you going to do? ”

Officer Shi said, "We have something to ask the old lady." Excuse me, why are you here to publish an obituary? ”

The old lady looked at Officer Shi's uniform and said-for-tat: "What? If I publish an obituary, do I have to report it to the government? ”｜.

Officer Shi shook his head and said, "Recently, we have been investigating a strange matter. Whoever publishes an obituary here dies according to the day on which the obituary was written. Our police think it's suspicious and want to check it. ”

The old lady sneered: "This is really a joke. Waiting for the obituary but not dying, that's weird, isn't it a waste of advertising money? ”

Officer Shi scratched his head helplessly and said, "I'll just ask directly, why did you come here to publish an obituary?" ”

He pointed to the date on it: "How do you know that you will die at eleven o'clock tonight?" ”

The old lady said, "Because I can pinch and calculate, is it okay?" ”

Officer Shi said earnestly: "Old lady, we are here to help you, if you don't cooperate, I'm afraid you will die next." ”

The old lady said lightly: "This is my life, I should die today." No one helped me. ”
