Chapter 3: Corpse Makeup
I lifted my skirt and looked down, and sure enough, under the waist and hips of the female corpse, I saw a birthmark the size of a fingernail. The color and shape of this birthmark are exactly the same as what Lin Wenjing and her aunt said.
Hell yes! I crawled out of the coffin with cold hands and feet. Just said that the Lin family girl has a birthmark on her buttocks, and this female corpse just happened to have one on her buttocks, which is too fucking coincidental!
An extremely ridiculous thought popped up at me: "This corpse ...... It can't really be the Lin family's girl, right? "But I'm sure that the face in front of me is definitely not Lin Yatou's. Although both of them are also good-looking, their appearance is still very different. Lin Yatou is the kind of face shape that is a little round, and she looks very gentle. This girl has a standard melon seed face, with small eyes and nose, and is very delicate.
It's more like ...... A complex of two people. It's like...... The torso of the body belongs to the Lin family's girl, while the head and limbs belong to another person!
I was like falling into an ice cave, and I was shivering with fear. I have been dealing with corpses with my third uncle for so many years, and I have never encountered such a strange thing.
It didn't take until midnight that the third uncle came back from outside with a tired face. I brought the food hot and let him eat it first, and when he was almost finished, he told him what he had found with a white face.
The third uncle's face changed greatly, and he muttered a curse in his mouth, and led me to the coffin. This time, he personally got on the horse and inspected the past inch by inch.
"Grass his grandmother, it's really two people!" The third uncle scolded with a gloomy face. Due to the extremely delicate processing of the needle and thread and the extremely close skin tones of the two men, we didn't see it at first. Now, after such a careful examination, it is clear that something is strange.
In addition to this, we also found a wound on the back of the female corpse's head. Looking at the shape of the wound, it should be that the skull was shattered by a blunt blow.
The third uncle tidied up the appearance of the corpse, then closed the coffin lid and retied the ink fountain line. After that, I was asked to burn three sticks of incense in front of the coffin, and he went to the bookcase to get a large stack of money and runic paper.
These dark coins are all worth 100 million of the dark coins on the market, nothing special. But those rune papers are not ordinary, they are all made by the third uncle himself, and he has been saving for a long time.
This time, I really made a lot of money, mixed the talisman paper with the money and burned it in front of the coffin, and let me take some of it and sprinkle it around the coffin.
In my impression, I have never seen the third uncle so solemn, which makes me feel that this time the incident is really unusual.
Soon, the hall was filled with yellow rune paper. The white smoke lit by the three incense sticks in front of the coffin rose straight up, condensed and continuous, very weird.
I was about to ask the third uncle what to do next, when I suddenly heard a click, and the three pillars of incense in front of the coffin broke at the waist! Immediately afterwards, a whirlwind blew in the house, and the house was full of rune paper and ordinary money that was burned to the point that the wind blew everywhere.
I was so nervous that I was sweating, and when I looked at the third uncle, my face was also so dark. In our line of work, we are used to seeing strange and strange things that we can't understand, and we know that there must be demons when things go wrong. This kind of vision just now can only show one point, there is definitely something wrong with the corpse in the coffin!
The third uncle locked the door behind his back and led me outside the house to talk. In our business, this is done to stay away from the coffin and avoid being heard by the dead.
I was a little frightened and asked if we should call the police, or notify Aunt Lin that they would come and identify the body. The third uncle pondered for a long time, and asked me to hide this matter first, and don't talk about it to anyone.
I disagree. I said that the Lin family girl is very likely to be killed, how can we hide it and not report it?
"What nonsense, let you hide it!" The third uncle interrupted me impatiently and urged me to hurry back to the house to sleep.
This old tyrant! But I'm too lazy to bother with him, this person will always become a little unreasonable when he gets older, right?
Of course, the main reason is not this. As for my third uncle, he is usually very lazy and doesn't care about anything, usually I am in charge of the family's affairs. But once this old guy starts to be autocratic, I will definitely listen to him, which means that something really is wrong!
I glanced at the coffin as I got back inside, and then climbed into bed in a panic. The third uncle didn't mean to rest, so he packed up his things, and it seemed that he was going to go out.
I climbed out of bed and asked him where he was going at this late hour. The third uncle said that he was going to inquire around. I'm a little worried, and I said that if you can take it easy, can't you go again tomorrow?
The third uncle said that this matter is urgent, and I can't sleep if I don't solve it, so let me guard the coffin at home, and don't let other moths come out. Then I heard the door open, and the old thing went out without looking back.
I went to the hall to inspect the coffin carefully and make sure there was nothing wrong with it, and then I went back to the back room and went to sleep. I was dazed all night and couldn't sleep well.
When I woke up early the next morning, I felt a little dizzy, but fortunately there was nothing wrong with the coffin. Yesterday the villagers searched for another day and searched all the ponds and rivers, but they still found nothing. Aunt Lin was so anxious that she fainted several times, and her aunt had already gone to the police, and heard that the police had just come.
I think of the girl of the Lin family, how handsome a little girl, I may not be able to see it in the future, I can't help but feel sour in my heart, and I am a little sad. But I still have some illusions, maybe it's a coincidence? Maybe the girl of the Lin family just got lost for a while and came back soon.
I asked my neighbor Uncle Wang to ask Mr. Tian for a leave, and I stayed at home all day to watch the coffin. It wasn't until noon that I went out. It was Aunt Lin who came over crying, saying that her family Jing'er usually has a good relationship with me, and asked me if I knew if Jing'er usually had any private things.
Generally, a girl of this age has some little secrets in her heart, but where can she tell me? I saw Aunt Lin crying, and my heart was so uncomfortable that I was going to die. carried her home, comforted her for a while, and then walked back sullenly.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I was taken aback. My door is open! I thought it was the third uncle who came back, but I immediately found out that it wasn't.
There was a man in my hall with his back to me, lying on the coffin with his back bent. The lid of the coffin had been pushed open by him, and he was burying his head in something inside.
"Who is it?" I was so anxious that I couldn't care so much, so I yelled and rushed in.
When the man heard the sound, he was startled, and the corpse that had just been picked up from the coffin fell back with a thud, and ran away, knocking me on the head who was blocking the door. By the time I got up, the man was gone.
I didn't dare to chase it. When the man turned back just now, I looked at him squarely, it was a famous second laizi in our village, who was idle on weekdays, and he was a ruffian.
The ruffian's face looked very wrong, white and iron-blue, and his eyes were bloodshot, like a demon.
I didn't care about anything else, so I hurriedly closed the door and went to see if the corpse was okay first. The lid of the coffin was pushed open by the birdman, and the ink fountain line was also torn apart and thrown on the ground, and the female corpse was lying in the coffin, her hair and skirt were messy.
I turned pale with fear. These two laizi have bad behaviors, they are still singles in their thirties, and they are very inappropriate on weekdays. When I rushed in, this man was holding the corpse, and I don't know what he was doing.
Fortunately, after the examination, there were no signs of the body being violated, and I was slightly relieved. I recited a blessing from the Buddha in my heart, and carefully tidied up the appearance and skirt of the corpse.
The lid is too heavy for me to close. lit three sticks of incense, folded her hands and bowed a few times, praying that she would go to Erlaizi if she had something, and don't blame me.
After this, I never dared to leave the coffin for half a step. When I was hungry, I went to the kitchen to cook noodles and eat them, and then came back and continued to guard. Towards evening, I heard a bustle outside, like a lot of people making noise.
I was overjoyed, thinking that the Lin family girl had found it, so I went out to inquire. As a result, I heard about something completely unexpected.
Erraiko is dead!
Not long ago, this ruffian died in the cowshed of a family, his stomach was picked by the horns, and he was directly disemboweled, and his intestines flowed all over the ground.
There was a lot of discussion in the village, and they all said that these two laizi wanted to steal the cow, but they didn't expect the cow to suddenly go crazy, and they gave up their lives.
I went back to the house and closed the door, and I always felt that something was wrong. In the evening, I ate a bite of noodles casually, went to find a novel, and continued to guard the coffin.
