Chapter Seventy-Five: Closing the Siege
Unexpectedly, after the couple left the funeral home, there was such an incident! The dead fat man cried and said, "It must be that ghost baby's corpse!" What can I do? ”
I heard that my scalp tightened for a while, I'm afraid this is really not as simple as an ordinary corpse, and it is rare to be so fierce. He asked, "What's the matter with that kid?" "I'm asking how a good kid can grow ghost teeth?
The fat man wiped his sweat and said, "I don't know this very well." The child was told that he had died of illness, and on the day he entered the coffin, he was suddenly found with his mouth open and four fangs growing out of it. No, they found me, and I was afraid that things would change, so I ignored the rules and quickly found your funeral home. Hey, who knew it would turn out like this! ”
I listened, and I couldn't figure out why for a while, so I said, "I'm going to be late for work!" Without waiting for the fat man to react, he climbed the iron door with one hand and climbed over the wall to enter.
trotted all the way, hurriedly looked for it, called up all the bosses and them, and told the matter one by one.
"It's not surprising that with that kid's appearance, sooner or later he will be transformed." Black fur rolled his eyes, as if nothing had happened.
Yanzi didn't refute the black hair's words this time, and said: "I think the child's death is related to the parents. If you have a ghost in your heart, if you die, you will die, what does it have to do with us? ”
Ma Lao Da said to me: "Xiao Qi, did the lion head say anything else?" ”
"It's nothing else, it's just that I pleaded for him, saying that he really didn't mean to break the rules."
Ma Boss nodded and said: "Let's ignore this matter, life and death are fate, and it is not the responsibility of our funeral home." ”
The swallow stretched and said, "I'm going back to catch up on sleep." Xiao Qi, accompany my sister to sleep for a while. As he spoke, he put his arms around my neck, and I shook my body and dodged away, saying, "The second mother-in-law told me that I still have something!" He fled quickly.
However, although Boss Ma said that we don't have to worry about this matter and it's none of our business, in the afternoon, trouble still came to the door. I was lying under the big mulberry tree when I heard the sound of a banging outside, and someone banging the iron door.
I got up and looked over, and there was a knock on the big iron door, and there seemed to be a lot of people coming to the door, and a rather familiar voice shouted outside: "Open the door, you dogs, come out and pay for my sister and brother-in-law!" ”
As soon as I heard what he said about "sister, brother-in-law" and "life-paying", I remembered that it was the brother-in-law of the rich man who came yesterday, and what was the little white face of Pompeii.
I climbed up from the fence on the other side, and looked at the gate, and saw that there was a lot of darkness, and there were more than a dozen people, four or five of them wearing big hats and uniforms, a few policemen, and the others were wearing civilian clothes, some old and some young, probably relatives and friends who had been found by the little white face.
There was a knock on the door of the Pompeii, with a circle of white gauze wrapped around his head. It seems that this guy's recovery ability is quite strong, and he was hit on the head by the swallow with a vase that day, and he was able to get out of bed so quickly.
I was looking out, not wanting to be seen by one of them, and immediately shouted, "There's a little imp there, get him down!" ”
I immediately shrank back from the wall, jumped back to the ground, and cursed, "Catch you big-headed ghost!" Standing under the wall for a while, I heard those people outside shouting to slam the door and rush in, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, wondering if I was going to inform Boss Ma of them.
At this moment, I saw a figure coming from a distance from the direction of the storage room, and I saw that the tall and strong figure was obviously a muscular man. I was overjoyed and waved at him.
"How's it going out there?" The muscular man came over and asked, his expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to pay attention to it.
I'll just briefly describe what I have just seen. The muscular man tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Let's go out and have a look." So saying, he took the key and went to unlock the gate.
I followed him, and when the door opened, I saw the little white face standing there with gauze tied to his head, and several men behind him with large pliers, as if they were about to break the lock.
"What do you want to do?" The muscular man swept around everyone and said with a cold face. He was already tall and powerful, and he still felt quite oppressive standing there. A few people who were clamoring to break down the door with pliers involuntarily took a few steps back.
The little white face gritted his teeth and shouted, "You puppies have finally come out, I want you to pay for my sister and brother-in-law!" Smash this dilapidated hall for me first! ”
The muscular man sneered and shouted, "Who dares! His shout was like a thunderbolt in mid-air, and I stood next to him, not paying attention, but I was frightened.
Those individuals were also stunned and didn't dare to move for a while.
"Captain Zhang, what's going on?" The muscular man said to one of the uniformed men, a smile on his face that innocent again.
I just counted, and there are four of them in uniform. Among them, Captain Zhang, the oldest of them, had dark skin, a wide forehead, frowned, and a straight face, like a piece of black iron, and said firmly: "According to the reports of the masses, your funeral parlor not only swaggers and cheats, but also kills people!" ”
As soon as I heard this person's tone, I thought to myself that this is not good, our funeral home is originally a partial business, and many things cannot be put on the surface, how can this be good. Suddenly thinking that he was a hairy child, and it was illegal to work here, he hurriedly shrank back and quietly hid behind the muscular man.
The muscular man smiled: "Captain Zhang, what are you talking about?" Yesterday, the couple surnamed Dong sent their recently deceased son to the door, saying that they must let us handle the funeral. The rules of our funeral home have always been that we do not accept business during the day, so this business has not been completed. What happened to them outside, it has nothing to do with our funeral home, Captain Zhang, don't you say? ”
I thought to myself that what the muscular man said made a lot of sense, but that Captain Zhang was very difficult at first glance, with empty mouth and white teeth, how could he easily believe you. was a little worried, so I heard Captain Zhang's "um" and said stiffly: "This makes sense, what happened outside the funeral home, what can it do with your funeral home?" Pompeii, did you hear me, hurry back with some people! ”
I was stunned when I heard it. What kind of situation is this, just based on the few words of the muscular man, Captain Zhang was fooled? That's not right, with the appearance of that captain, it is impossible to be a good talker.
The little white face surnamed Pang was also stunned, probably because he didn't expect the wind to turn like this. The muscular man nodded at Captain Zhang and said, "Everyone's hard work. Then he closed the door and locked it again.
I stopped against the door for a while, only to hear the surnamed Pang scolding outside, but listening to the footsteps, the group was leaving. Looking back, I still couldn't believe it: "It's a little weird, this surname Zhang doesn't look like he is so easy to talk to." ”
The muscular man smiled and said: "This captain Zhang is an old acquaintance with us, and the sixth child is often invited by him to investigate cases." ”
I let out a "huh" and said in surprise: "They asked the thin bamboo pole to investigate the case?" ”
The muscular man smiled at me and said, "It turns out that your name is Lao Liu's thin bamboo pole." ”
I stuck out my tongue, I was too surprised just now, I directly said that I missed my mouth, called out the "thin bamboo pole", and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't go and tell the sixth brother, please, please!" ”
The muscular man shook his head with a smile and said, "What's so strange about investigating the case, don't look at the sixth child who doesn't usually talk much, he is actually very capable, but it's a pity that he was injured in the head back then, so he became like this." ”
I asked curiously, "What was the sixth brother like before?" ”
The muscular man said: "Then it's not very clear, when we saw the sixth child, he was already seriously injured." ”
"Did the sixth brother also do funerals before?" I saw that the thin bamboo pole knew so much about corpses, maybe he would still walk with me.
"Probably not." The muscular man said, "Listen to the boss, the ancestor of the sixth child should be a servant." ”
"Serving?" I'm a bit rare. In fact, it is a very old profession, dealing with the dead day and night, and if you put it broadly, it is half a walk with us.
