Chapter 9: The Morgue Below
After several generations, the big family surnamed Sun became the landlord in the village, in the spring of 1931, ** formulated a policy of overthrowing the landlord, and at that time, as a big family in the village, Sun Dangjia insisted on resisting, and then he was arrested and put in prison, and his property was confiscated. Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the village gradually stabilized.
This ancestral hall was deserted because it was unguarded, and the village cadres converted it into a morgue, and later because Sun Dangjia could not bear the pain of prison, he committed suicide in prison. Since then, whenever the villagers pass by the ancestral hall, there is always a certain cold wind blowing, after the wind can be faintly heard in the ancestral hall someone in the sound of the head to ear, the old man said that after the death of the Sun family, he could not bear to give up this great family business, and lingered in the ancestral hall for a long time and did not want to leave.
It was also said that Sun Dangjia's resentment was too deep and wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, and the old people in the village invited Taoist priests from all sides in the hope of surviving the dead ghosts, but it still didn't work.
Before leaving, a Taoist priest told the old man in the village that the dead ghost was so lonely after death that he spent a long time in prison that he wanted to talk to someone whenever he passed by. So the village decided to place the body in the morgue whenever someone died, let the dead talk to Sun Dang's family, and carry it home after the first seven years to prepare for the burial ceremony.
At the beginning, because this superstitious idea was contrary to the development and construction of New China, it was always opposed by the party members in the village, but because it was never possible to explain where the strange voice of the ancestral hall came from, in the end, under pressure, the party members in the village no longer stopped it, so it did not harm other people's lives and money, and finally acquiesced to this behavior, which gradually became a unique custom in the village.
When I came to this ancient ancestral hall, the roads around me were empty, and the whole neighborhood was unusually deserted, and I looked at the heavy gate, and a strong sense of depression rose in my heart.
Just as I pushed open the door, a cold wind blew in my face, and the air was mixed with thick dust, my body subconsciously trembled, covered my nose, and slowly walked inside with the dust dispersed.
A strange strong wind struck again, and the branches and leaves of the cycad tree were blown to the ground by this certain wind, Han Dong walked in front, and then slowly pushed open the door of the morgue, and only Qiangzi lay peacefully in the empty morgue. Seeing Peng Qiang lying peacefully on it, draped in a miserable white bedcloth, Han Dong gently tore the white cloth away, at this time, Qiangzi's body was already stiff, his blood was frozen, and his face had begun to rot, showing dots of markings.
Looking at the corpse of my good brother still made me a little sad, I couldn't bear to continue to look at it, I slowly covered it with a white cloth, carefully observed the changes in the body of the hadron, it seemed that it was impossible for the hadron to appear in my room and leave fresh blood.
And who sneaked into my room and left blood behind? Could it really be a ghost? After a short pause, Han Dong and I walked out of the morgue, and my thoughts were in a stalemate for a while.
Recalling what Qiangzi said in the dream that night, what is the country of death, the whole thing is because of Ergou, it seems necessary to go to Ergou to find clues. From entering to coming out, Han Dong didn't seem to say a word, maybe because of the injury of the scene, seeing the dead strong son Han Dong should be very sad in his heart.
And I frowned and kept thinking about what happened in that dream, I glanced at Han Dong, and thought to myself whether I should tell everything I knew?
Han Dong looked at the courtyard of Nuoda and couldn't help but sigh, this sigh is for the strong son? Or is it for the sake of what happened to the Sun family? After leaving the ancestral hall, the road is still sparsely populated, looking at the increasingly deserted village, when will this ghost matter be quelled, a strong ** rose in my heart, I want to know all the truth of the matter. On the way back to the police station, Han Dong had been thoughtful, and I remembered the matter of Ergou, and I had a new decision in my heart.
"Dongzi, I think I have to go to Ergou's house and cemetery again, after all, there are still some things that have not been sorted out," I am determined to figure out everything, after all, this is where I grew up, even if it is a ghost, I have to find out the truth.
"I see that you are not in good spirits today, I think tomorrow I will accompany you to Ergou's house to check, let's go back to the police station first, and sort out the current data," Han Dong looked at my somewhat pale face worriedly, and I really needed to rest because I felt that I was not in good spirits, so the two walked side by side, moving in the direction of the police station, and at this moment, I couldn't help but think of the picture of the three of them.
Returning to the police station, he began to gather all the clues together, Han Dong was responsible for connecting the clues one by one, and there was no clue left along the way from the Ergou incident, only the strange back mountain tomb was full of the breath of death. After gathering all the files, the target unanimously pointed to the mountain tomb in the back mountain, what kind of evil existence is there? Just as I was thinking, Han Dong put a black mobile phone in front of me.
"I found it when I went up the mountain that day, and when I came back and turned it on again, I found something unusual," Han Dong turned on the phone, which was Hadron's mobile phone. I flipped through the call records in the mobile phone, there was nothing special about the phone records with me, when I turned to the mobile phone text message, I accidentally found that there was only one text message left on it, which was not sent successfully, and the time of the failure to send was sent on the night of the murder of the strong son, and the recipient was my Li Guoyuan.
At this time, I seemed a little nervous, looking at this unsuccessful text message, I had an inexplicable fear in my heart, is this the most critical part of the case?
"Have you already read the contents?" I looked at Han Dong in front of me and asked. "Yes, I've already read it, but the content in it is really, forget it, I can't tell, you better see for yourself," Han Dong's serious expression made me feel that things were not pure.
Could it be that Hadron left the information of the murderer? I stared at the phone in front of me, wondering whether to open the unsuccessful text message. It seemed that the text message was not sent successfully because the information on the mountain was too weak, so I settled down, and my fingers slowly pressed the OK button, and the content inside slowly appeared in front of my eyes.
"Guoyuan, time is too hasty, please let me make a long story short, after my mother was killed, I wanted to find out the truth many times, the mountain grave in the back mountain that scared me, where countless demons were hiding and devouring the village, I went up the mountain late at night more than once, and heard that smile full of evil, the passage of hell has been opened, Guoyuan, you must leave the village as soon as possible, I don't want you to be in danger. The gloomy back mountain and mountain tomb, those ghosts kept chasing me behind, I tried desperately to escape, but I found that there was still a weird laugh echoing in my ears, yes, it was the voice of Ergou, I remember that he always made this kind of lewd laughter when he was alive, Guoyuan save me, save me. ”
Looking at the content of the text message, a little cold sweat oozed from my forehead, there was no follow-up to the text message, and there was no useful clue left in the text message at all, just repeating the ghosts that exist in the back mountain tomb, and where is the passage to hell? I turned my head to look at Han Dong, and Han Dong also looked helpless, is there really a ghost in this world? I sat quietly in my work seat, but I felt a myriad of pairs of evil eyes staring at me.
And this strange feeling seems to be felt only by me, Han Dong's calm face did not have the slightest expression, and there was no fear or uneasiness in sight.
"Let's get here today, it's not too early, I think I'll have a good rest tonight and go to Ergou's house tomorrow to check it out," the surrounding atmosphere made me want to escape from here quickly, whether to escape from the weird atmosphere or escape from this terrifying village, I can't tell the difference.
"Well, okay, I'll go with you tomorrow to ask about the situation, you have a good rest tonight," Han Dong still showed great concern about my situation, and after saying goodbye to Han Dong, I rushed home alone, thinking about the content of the text message in my mind, and when I got home, I recorded all the doubts with a pen. At dinnertime, my mother put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, "Ah Yuan, how is the recent work going well?" I heard that the village is haunted, so you should be careful," my mother asked me about my work with concern.
I told my mother about what happened, but I kept silent about the blood, because I didn't want my mother to worry about me, and I didn't want the ghost to expand again.
"Ah Yuan, eat more, I see that you are not in good spirits, don't be too tired about the affairs of the police station," my mother repeatedly told me to have a good rest, "Good mother, I will pay attention to myself, and you should also pay attention to your body," Looking at my aging mother, my heart also felt a little painful.
