After learning about the situation, the police withdrew from the coffin shop, and they called back for instructions, but the police have not taken any action at this time. I squinted my eyes and said that I wanted to talk to the staff of the shop in person, the quality of the police force in this place is not high, the crime has been committed for many days, if it is really a murder, the person in the coffin shop is very suspicious.

After so many days of the crime, if they had the intention to murder, I am afraid that they would have already thought of an excuse, and I am afraid that that group of young criminal police will not be able to handle it. The case involved someone closest to me, and I didn't worry about anyone else, so I wanted to get involved myself. The police leaders agreed, and in their opinion, it was just an ordinary suicide.

From my mouth, they learned that my lover and I were Du Lei's only friends, and if Du Lei wanted to commit suicide in this place, he chose to commit suicide in a friend's house where no one lived out of the idea that he didn't want to die and had no place to bury, which was normal. But in my opinion, it's not that simple.

Du Lei survived the 330 case, and he was deeply concerned about me, Xu Yi and Meng Ting, the first thing he did should be to return to City B to find us, he had no motive to commit suicide. Moreover, the door is locked from the outside, which is absolutely impossible for Du Lei to do alone, which is the biggest suspicion in this case.

A total of five detectives were dispatched by the police, and at my request, all of them changed into civilian clothes. After a little more than an hour's drive, we came to a small city, which is much more prosperous than the deserted town. Xu Yi's hometown is on the border between another city and this city.

The police first conducted an investigation in the small city where the police force is located, and when it was fruitless, they expanded the scope of the search. The car drove to an old street and we got out of the car. As the government's requirements for the cremation of corpses have become stricter, the business of coffin shops across the country has been declining.

The big coffin is a handicraft, and many people's craftsmanship in making coffins is passed down from their parents or even earlier. When we arrived here, the plainclothes police who had stayed here in advance had already inquired about the fact that the coffin shop had been in existence for a long time, and the owner of the shop was in his fifties and made a living by beating and selling coffins.

It was not as deserted as I imagined, but there were still a few people in the coffin shop, a few were customers, and a few were employees and bosses. We kept a low profile, and the police only sent one person to follow Jiang Jun and me into the coffin shop, which was full of the smell of paper money.

In addition to coffins, the store also sells a variety of funeral supplies.

As soon as we entered the store, an employee greeted us inside, and he asked what we needed, and without thinking about it, told him two words: coffin.

The employee immediately called the boss, and the owner of the store was making calculations at the counter, and he told us to wait and said that he would come over immediately. The staff told us that the coffins in the store are of good quality, both in width and length, and in depth suitable for the sleeping of the dead.

The employee said that each coffin was made by the boss himself, and the boss would create a coffin suitable for the deceased according to the description of the deceased's relatives. Because of this, people in the city who need to buy coffins choose to come to their store.

I glanced at the shopkeeper, who was still making calculations.

Me: "Every bite is made by yourself, are you busy?" ”

The employee nodded, saying that the coffin business is not good, because the coffin cannot be buried even when the coffin is buried, so many people do not buy coffins.

I glanced around the store, there were two large coffins, and the staff said they were samples, let's take a look. I walked to the coffin, and it was true that the color, wood, and shape were the same as the coffin of Xu Yi's house. Soon, the shopkeeper came over after finishing his business.

He apologized to me and said that we had waited a long time.

I said directly: "I'm going to make a coffin." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "Okay, you tell me the height and body shape of the deceased, and I will call you out as soon as possible." ”

Me: "I'm going to punch a coffin that's exactly like this." "I took out a photo directly from my pocket, and after the police carried Du Lei's body out of the coffin, they took a lot of coffin photos. When I saw the photo of the coffin, the boss gave me a strange look and asked if I was a regular customer.

The boss directly admitted that the coffin on the photo was beaten by him, I held the photo up, almost pasted it on the boss's face, and I shouted and asked: "Do you know! In this coffin, there are dead people! ”

The change in my attitude startled the shopkeeper, and one of them did not stand firmly, and the boss almost fell. reacted, the boss was slightly angry, and asked rhetorically: "What is it that sleeps in the coffin is not a dead person!" ”

I'm good at observing the changes in other people's expressions, and I see every expression on the shopkeeper's face. Although he panicked, his reaction was normal.

I continued to snort coldly: "What if a person lives and dies in the coffin of your family! ”

The shopkeeper finally couldn't keep his composure, he shuddered and told us not to talk nonsense, I stuffed the photo into the shopkeeper's hand, saying that the police had enough evidence, and I asked him to think about how to explain the coffin.

Hearing the word police, the shopkeeper panicked, and at this time, the criminal police who followed us in also took out his documents. When I came in, I pretended to be a customer, so that the boss lost his vigilance, and then used the police to deter him.

The shopkeeper took the photo and observed it nervously, and the police outside also came in, and everyone surrounded the shopkeeper in the middle, and the shopkeeper's forehead soon became beads of sweat. Finally, the shopkeeper spoke, and he cautiously asked us if the coffin had been made for him a week earlier.

The owner told us that in the past week, only one person had beaten a coffin in his shop, and he looked at the photo and roughly recognized it as a coffin he had recently made, and he was not sure, so he asked us rhetorically. I nodded directly, and with a threatening tone in my words, he had better confess everything as it was.

The shopkeeper nodded and told us about a week ago.

The store was busy that day, and a man about thirty years old entered the coffin shop, and the boss gave a general description of the person's appearance, and it can be presumed that the person is Du Lei. In order to be sure, I took out Du Lei's photo and showed it to the shopkeeper, who saw the corpse in the photo, his face turned pale with fright, he said that it was this person, but he did not admit that Du Lei's death had anything to do with him.

At that time, there were many people in the store, and the employees also agreed, saying that the person in the photo was the person who came to buy the coffin.

The shopkeeper continued to describe the situation of the day to us uneasily, and after Du Lei entered the coffin shop, he directly called the boss and said that he wanted to make a coffin. When the boss asked him about the characteristics of the deceased, Du Lei directly asked the boss to build it according to his body shape, which surprised all the people in the store at the time.

In everyone's opinion, it is very unlucky for a person to give himself a coffin before he dies, so when it comes to Du Lei, the employees also respond.

The boss was crying and said that if we didn't believe us, we could go and ask the customers who were in the store at the time. The boss immediately asked the staff to get the contact book, and the boss told us that because of the need, not everyone came to buy funeral supplies, and most of the mourning clothes and other utensils were used for rent.

So this kind of person will leave a contact number and rent in the store. On the day Du Lei came to build the coffin, there were more people in the store, but the store was not big, and many people heard what Du Lei said. The boss handed over the contact book to the criminal police, who did not hesitate and immediately asked people to verify.

I continued to ask the shopkeeper, "What happened later?" ”

The shopkeeper continued to tell me that although Du Lei's request was very strange, he couldn't have any business to come to him, so Du Lei asked the boss to make the coffin as quickly as possible, and paid several times more money. After collecting the money, the boss worked overtime for two consecutive nights to make a coffin for Du Lei.

On the day Du Lei came to pick up the coffin, it was raining, and Du Lei asked the clerk to send the coffin to his home. The boss refused at first, because it was late at that time, the store was about to close, and the owner didn't expect Du Lei to come to pick up the coffin at that time.

But Du Lei paid a lot more money to the store owner, and the boss finally agreed, he took the money to rent a big car for Du Lei's friend, and sent the coffin to the place designated by Du Lei overnight, but he didn't expect Du Lei to make a very strange request......
