I secretly made a gesture to Wu Biao, signaling that Xiaowen was lying, Wu Biao thought for a while and said: "A public official, should not be involved in this kind of thing, this is a serious crime, the criminal did not steal a suitable corpse, and actually killed people halfway, this is a homicide, Xiaowen, you should understand the difference between buying and selling corpses, and instigating murder, right?" This case is said to be your grandfather, and even you can't get out of it. ”

Wu Biao is deceiving him, this is really a good way, sure enough, the grassroots police have not been trained in psychological pressure-bearing ability, and they immediately panicked when they heard this sentence, Xiaowen was already trembling, and this time he trembled even more and said: "This, this, this is absolutely impossible, my grandfather will never instigate people to kill people, absolutely impossible." ”

He has the word "never" in this sentence, and his tone is so firm, which also shows that he knows the inside story, and I think the change in his hair is really not wrong.

Wu Biao didn't say anything at all, looking at him with a serious expression, now all the police officers focused their attention on Xiaowen's body, after all, he is an ordinary young man, he does not have any special temperament, and the pressure on the whole person can be imagined, so he said: "I admit that my grandfather did buy the corpse, but he definitely did not instigate people to kill people, I, I swear by my personal reputation." ”

"Why did your grandfather buy the corpse, and what was his purpose?" Wu Biao asked.

"It's not that the grandfather wants to buy it, but that some villagers have unmarried people who have died in their homes, and according to local customs, they are not allowed to enter the family cemetery, and the family does not want the children to be sent to mass graves for burial, so they are worthy of a ghost marriage."

"Ghost marriage? What do you mean? ”

"It is to bury two dead people of the same age together, which is called a ghost marriage."

"What age is this, and you are still engaged in this kind of feudal superstition, why don't you send it to cremation?"

I pulled Wu Biao, who was talking eloquently, aside and said: "Wu Bureau, you can't say that, the vast villages in the mountains have a tradition of burial, because the mountains are not cultivated land in the first place, I know their thoughts very well, if you let people be cremated, you are cursing the eighteen generations of ancestors not to die well." ”

"So serious?" Wu Biao was a little surprised.

"The customs are different in different places, and there are many ethnic minorities living here, and these people respect their burial traditions in the country, is it not good for you to do it?"

"Well, I'll admit that I did speak ill-consideration." Turning back to the same place, Wu Biao said: "Take me to see your grandfather, you'd better say hello to him first, and say whatever you need to say when the time comes, don't waste each other's time anymore." So Xiaowen went back to his grandfather to "vaccinate" first, and Wu Biao and I went to Wenchang's house accompanied by the director.

On the way, Wu Biao asked me: "Is there really such a thing as a secret marriage?" ”

"Of course there is, I'll tell you something I saw with my own eyes, I was about fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, this happened three days before the August Festival, a family in the neighboring village of Qinglong Village came to Uncle Liao, saying that his youngest son can always see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy taking him to drill into the melon field, the melon field is inaccessible in such a place, and there are poisonous insects, the family is not worried about the safety of the younger son, so they don't agree with him to run to the melon field, but the younger son just doesn't listen to them, and he doesn't want to be beaten and scolded, saying that the big brother is very good to him, The parents at home asked him which eldest brother he was, but according to the younger son's description, the boy seemed to be the eldest son of the missing husband and wife. ”

"The ghost of the eldest son plays with the younger son again?" Wu Biao said.

"In fact, there was no such little son, but the eldest son disappeared at the age of fourteen or fifteen, no matter how to find it, the family had to accept the result that the child may have died, but I didn't expect the younger son to see the ghost of the eldest son when he was five or six years old, so the family found Uncle Liao to ask about the situation, Uncle Liao went to his house to ask the younger son about the situation in the melon field, after listening to the child, Uncle Liao then went to the melon field to point out a range, let them dig down, As a result, the bones of the dead child were found in the soil layer four or five meters deep, and they were taken for testing to be the bones of their missing eldest son. ”

"I know, I really have an impression of this case, this old man in the melon field is called Wu Younong, he is an old pervert, and after sexually assaulting the boy, he cut the boy's throat with a watermelon knife, right?"

"I don't know the details of the specific case, but the old man was indeed arrested by the police, Uncle Liao told the family that the young ghost will go home because people's souls miss their homeland, not only people who travel far away have the heart of their homeland, even if it is buried at the door of the house, but the relatives don't know, this is not into the homeland, so if you want the child's soul to rest in peace, you must bury the bones in the ancestral grave, otherwise you are playing with your little son now, and after a long time, the resentment of the undead will increase, and it will harm the people of your own clan, And the local rule is that the dead can not be buried in the family cemetery, they feel that the dead are all ghosts, once they enter the family cemetery, they will disturb the resting place of the deceased, which will be the bad luck of the whole family, and then it is the method given by Uncle Liao, with a dead girl of the same age and a bone together, with a yin marriage, that is, a ghost marriage, the soul of the deceased will rest in peace. ”

"After that, the family found a deceased girl's family in the way Uncle Liao said, proposed marriage, gave a bride price, held a banquet according to the standard of Yangshi wedding, and finally arranged for a couple to enter the cave room, and the young ghost never appeared again after that."

"In other words, the theory of underworld marriage does exist?"

"That's right, secret marriage is also a kind of folk custom, you have to say that this is feudal superstition, to say that it is really against the will of the people."

Wu Biao smiled: "You kid has also learned to go online?" When he said this, the old man didn't come out, and Wu Biao said: "Okay, it's really good to put on music." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xiaowen hurriedly come out of the house, and he said with a sad face: "Director Wu, my grandfather said that he just married someone in the past two days, and the yin qi on his body is too heavy to meet people, please forgive me." ”

"Xiaowen, I'm here for office business, aren't I here to visit the door?"

"I know what you said, but grandpa he just doesn't agree, he, he said that even if he comes out and goes to jail, he can't see you now, because he is afraid of colliding with the evil gods. Wu Bureau, please forgive me. ”

"Xiaowen, do you think I can forgive me in this matter? If there is no result in this case, how can I explain it to the villagers of Qinglong Village? Your grandfather has done white things for many years, and he can be regarded as a meritorious person, and I don't want to embarrass him, so I ask him to be considerate of my difficulties. Although Wu Biao's words were polite, his tone became more and more aggressive.

Xiaowen could only return to the house again, and after a while, he came out again and handed a walkie-talkie to Wu Biao and said: "Wu Bureau, my grandfather said that please understand, he can't see people at present, this is a thousand-year-old rule passed down by the ancestors, I can only tell you by phone, anyway, he knows the same thing to tell you, there will be absolutely nothing to hide, and when he can go out to meet people, he must go to the police station to accept punishment." ”

Although Wu Biao was really annoyed, he still took the walkie-talkie and said: "Mr. Wen, I am Wu Biao, deputy director of the Lingquan City Public Security Bureau, and I have a very important business here today, but I respect your statement, and please give me a reasonable statement." ”

"Director Wu, I'm really embarrassed, I'm really bound by the rules, I also heard Xiaowen say what happened in Qinglong Village, to be honest, I feel very sorry, but I must make it clear, this matter has nothing to do with me, I didn't let Erdezi steal the body, this child is my eldest sister's own son, can I let my own nephew do this kind of conscience-losing thing? This child has been following me to do white things, and I will hand over the matter of marriage to a few close relatives in the family, but I am worried about this situation, I really didn't expect it......"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed heavily and said: "Wu Bureau, I definitely have no intention of excusing myself, I am very ashamed of this kind of thing, please bring a message to the fathers and villagers of Qinglong Village, when the time comes, I will definitely come to the door to apologize, and do seven seven and forty-nine days of ritual for the disturbed deceased ancestors to make up for their sins." ”
