This is...... This is the voice of the old man watching the gate? How did he end up here?

In this case, when I saw a "big living person", I did not relax in the slightest, but became even more nervous.

The old man walked over to me with a straight face, and I instinctively shrank back, and he suddenly snorted coldly.

"Smack!"

He didn't know what he had taken, and tapped it on one of the freezers, as if to warn him.

"Be honest with me!" The janitor's voice sounded neutral.

I don't know if it was that warning that worked, and the originally restless morgue instantly fell silent.

"Gollum!" I swallowed and foamed.

This old man is really not an ordinary person, and he can shake those abnormal corpses. But no matter how he looked, he looked like an ordinary old man, and he was a little trembling and weak when he even walked.

To be honest, I really didn't pay attention to this person before, and I have to admit that I just looked away.

The old janitor walked slowly towards me again, his speed was very slow, and when he stared at him as he walked, I felt anxious to get angry.

But I kept staring at him, a little distracted, and at this moment I didn't feel scared at all.

I unconsciously compared him to my grandfather in my heart, and he seemed to be able to bring me an inexplicable sense of security just like my grandfather.

"You're moving too much, waking them up. If it's okay, just leave quickly, don't come here to mess around. The old janitor was not smiling, and his voice was cold.

Like, it's so similar. I secretly sighed that when my grandfather became serious, his temperament was similar to that of the one in front of him.

Although his words sounded unkind, I still unconsciously felt a little close to him, and my heart was much more relaxed.

"Senior, I...... My friend is still here, I can't go. I struggled to squeeze out a smile and said with some flattery.

Whether it's his age or the strength he's just shown, he deserves so much respect from me. Inside his thin and withered body, there was a shocking power.

The old man frowned slightly: "There are all dead people here, what should be left must be stayed, there is no need to take it away." ”

My heart tightened, what did he mean by this? Xiaobai obviously came in with me, why did he become a dead man?

Or is Xiaobai no longer here? There's no reason, there's only one door in the entire morgue, and I haven't seen Xiaobai go out.

"Senior, did you see the young man who came in with me just now?" I'm in a bit of a hurry.

The old man didn't pay attention to me at all, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go, with me, no one can take away the corpse here." ”

A bright light suddenly lit up behind him, and I had to close my eyes under the stimulation of the bright light.

By the time I opened my eyes again, I was already standing outside the crematorium gate.

The sun was blazing, I was sweating profusely, I felt a wave of dizziness, and I almost fell to the ground with a weak leg.

Looking into the guard's room, there was a thin middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses.

I hurriedly rushed over: "Uncle, where is the old man who guarded the door just now?" Where are the others? Go open the morgue, my friend is still inside! ”

Because I was so flustered, I spoke a little incoherently, and the other party looked at me very wrongly. I explained, but he quietly picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Sick in the brain, right? The morgue is full of corpses, who is there? Don't make a fuss, I'm going to call the security guard if I make another fuss! The middle-aged man shouted.

I'm so anxious that I really want to beat up the girl, when is this happening, don't mess with me, human life is at stake!

I couldn't tell him clearly for a while, so I gave up communicating with him and rushed straight to the hall. It's very likely that Xiaobai is still in the morgue, and I must find him quickly.

"Senior, where are you? You're out! I shouted as I ran.

At this time, I didn't have the heart to care about Sun Mulan's affairs, I would rather give up looking for her body than put Xiaobai in.

Xiaobai disappeared right under my nose, and I guess I'm still trapped in the morgue. But the words of the old janitor made me very worried.

As soon as I rushed to the entrance of the hall, suddenly several security guards blocked my way and looked into the hall, which was crowded with people.

It seems that this place has suddenly started to work normally again, and the people in the hall are all the families of the deceased wearing linen and filial piety, and there are quite a few of them.

"It's him, stop him! It's a psychopath, don't let him go in and make trouble, it's too unlucky! The middle-aged man with glasses also caught up.

This bastard really called the security guard, what kind of trouble, I don't think the crematorium is unlucky, he is embarrassed to say that I am unlucky?

"Don't get excited, listen to me......"

Before I could finish my sentence, the group of security guards had already rushed up and pushed me to the ground. It's not that I'm too weak, it's that they're too strong.

I also resisted, but these security guards are all good, and it is estimated that even if Xiaobai makes a move, it will be difficult to take advantage of them.

I wondered, this is a crematorium, and young people are rarely willing to come here to work, how can so many strong men with good skills suddenly appear?

"Let's tie it up first, and I'll take it down for trial later." One of the security guards said in a deep voice.

I had a bad feeling that something was wrong with these people, they weren't security guards at all, they looked like well-trained police officers.

I usually deal with the police a lot, and I know them well, and the temperament of their security guards can't be imitated.

These people should be the elite of the police, with good skills and sharp eyes. Could it be that I fell into a trap and was caught by someone sent by Tian Jianjun?

"Who the hell are you? Sent by Tian Jianjun? I said in a deep voice.

I was caught with my backhand, it was hard to break free, and I could feel that if I dared to struggle, both arms would be removed.

The "security guard" who took the lead was in his early thirties, with a Chinese face, dark skin, and an awe-inspiring righteousness.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." He looked at me carefully.

I was keenly aware that when I heard the words "Tian Jianjun", a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. I suddenly knew in my heart that even if they were not sent by Tian Jianjun, they must have nothing to do with Tian Jianjun.

"Don't pretend, I'll admit it, let my friend out quickly!" I sighed.

Maybe I underestimated Tian Jianjun's ability, he should have guessed that I would come to the crematorium, so he set up an ambush here in advance.

But I'm not quite sure what Xiaobai's situation is, Xiaobai was obviously deceived by a person who looks exactly like me, and disappeared in the morgue mysteriously, not quite like he was arrested by these people.

I'm just asking tentatively now, if Xiaobai is really arrested by them, I can still be more sure.

The other party smiled: "And accomplices?" I really didn't expect the case to be solved so easily, it seems that Lao Tian's luck is good, and he will definitely be promoted this time. ”

He waved his hand, and I was tied up in a strong knot. I was about to open my mouth to defend myself, but suddenly someone stuffed a strange-smelling rag into my mouth.

Immediately afterward, two of the policemen rudely dragged me out of the crematorium's doors. After about two minutes, I was forcibly stuffed into a black car.

The black sedan was parked in a secluded place, and after it was stuffed into the car, the man who took the lead also squeezed into the car and closed the door firmly.

He took away the rag stuffed in my mouth, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I thought the case would be so tricky, and I still need to help us, but I didn't expect to catch the suspect so easily." ”

I spat and frothed, staring at him with a frown: "Tian Jianjun is so anxious to let me be a scapegoat?" ”

Hearing my words, his smile froze, and his expression was a little unnatural: "Caught the wrong person?" Who are you? ”

I snorted coldly: "Why, Tian Jianjun didn't tell you my identity?" Or did he not tell you why he wanted to arrest me? ”

The other party's expression became more serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I think there may be some misunderstanding in this, but it doesn't matter, I have my own judgment." Tell me, why are you here? ”

I didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so I asked again: "You really didn't arrest my friend?" He should still be in the morgue, hurry up and get someone to find him! ”

He hesitated for a moment, then took out his walkie-talkie and told the others to take a look inside the morgue. Soon news came from the other side that there were no suspicious people in the morgue.

My heart sank, where did Xiaobai go? What does that guy pretending to be me want to do?

"What about the old man watching the gate? Look for him, he must know Xiaobai's whereabouts! I urged urgently.

The other party's face became a little strange, and after a moment of silence, he took out a photo from his pocket: "Are you talking about this person?" ”

The moment I saw that photo, I was in a trance, the photo was indeed the old man who was the janitor, but this photo had an indescribable weirdness.

"Yes, it's him, but ......" I looked at the photo and finally realized that something was wrong.

In the photo, the janitor is lying on a bed with his eyes closed, and he does not look like a living person, but rather a corpse.

"You know him?"

I nodded, then shook my head.

"Don't challenge my patience and tell me everything you know." He squinted at me, a chill in his eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, I told him about my previous experience. Now that it's in the hands of the other party, I'm ready for the worst.

It's useless to hide the truth, and if I tell the truth, I might be able to rely on them to help me find Xiaobai's whereabouts.

He was silent, took a cigarette from his pocket and lit one. The inside of the closed car soon turned smoky, and I choked and coughed.

A cigarette was only half smoked, and he casually extinguished the cigarette on the car window, scolding: "I knew that things were not so simple, Lao Tian, bastard!" ”

I didn't quite understand what he meant, so I didn't dare to answer. He suddenly opened the car door, asked another police officer for a laptop, and clicked on a video.

This appears to be surveillance footage at the entrance of the crematorium, dated today, and a taxi stopped at the entrance of the crematorium at noon.

After the taxi door opened in the video, I saw "myself" get out of the car and stand at the door of the crematorium. The video freezes, the minutes tick by, and "I" stands still.
