Chapter 7: The Dead Buy a Coffin

"Are you back?does anyone see you?" Just when Li Xuyang and the driver who came to deliver the sandalwood coffin looked at the villa in a daze, an old voice came from the building, and this person was Zhu Junchao, who had ordered the sandalwood coffin before.

"No, father. Zhu Fengchun replied respectfully, looking very afraid of his Zhu Junchao.

"Alright, take the coffin off, and you're good to go. Zhu Junchao first glanced at Zhu Fengchun, and then said to Li Xuyang and the driver.

Li Xuyang nodded in understanding.

How is it possible to unload such a heavy sandalwood coffin just for the two of them?

Li Xuyang was just about to unload, but when he saw that Zhu Fengchun and Zhu Junchao didn't move, he looked at the driver again, and the driver was also at a loss and at a loss.

"Old man, are you saying that it's just me and him?" Li Xuyang pointed at the driver, and then pointed to himself and asked.

"Yes, we don't have too many people here. Moreover, it would be very unlucky for a person to touch the coffin in the spring, I have another old bone, not the two of you, who else could it be?" Zhu Junchao replied Li Xuyang without a trace of expression.

"What? Nobody? Is this a joke?"

"I'm not kidding, you hurry up and finish your business, and then leave! Fengchun, go and get 200,000 yuan for them. Zhu Junchao looked a little impatient and said angrily.

Zhu Fengchun agreed, and then walked into the villa to get the money. Li Xuyang and the driver were still stunned on the spot, relying on the two of them to unload the coffin from the car, this is a person who can understand, but Zhu Junchao is like a stubborn person, just ask them to take it off, and then let them go.

"No, we can't do it with just the two of us. Li Xuyang said and took out his mobile phone to make a call, wanting to call a few more people over.

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Junchao looked at Li Xuyang and took out his mobile phone and asked sharply.

"I'll call a few more people. Li Xuyang replied, and had already dialed the phone as he spoke.

"If you call, you won't get a penny. Zhu Junchao said word by word, and his tone became serious.

Li Xuyang held the mobile phone, and after feeding the phone for a long time, Li Xuyang did not answer, so he had to say that he made a mistake and was scolded by the person on the other end for being sick.

"What do you want?" asked Li Xuyang.

"I don't want to do anything, okay, you guys hurry up, finish your work and leave!" Zhu Junchao stopped talking nonsense, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and walked in, while his son Zhu Fengchun walked out with a pile of hundred-yuan bills.

Zhu Junchao saw Zhu Fengchun, and still said with a good face: "When they finish their work, they are paying." Zhu Fengchun didn't dare not listen, so he had to agree.

The driver asked Li Xuyang, "Dude, what should we do?"

Li Xuyang just shook his head helplessly and replied to him, "It's just the two of us, if you hadn't sent it over, I'm afraid I'd be the only one." ā€

The driver is also very helpless, but helpless, such a heavy sandalwood coffin, what should two people do?

"With a stand, where there is. Set up the bracket first, then hang the coffin with a pulley so that the two of us should be able to get it up. Li Xuyang looked around and found three three-meter-high brackets under one wall.

"Good. The driver didn't talk nonsense, and went directly with Li Xuyang to bring the bracket over.

More than half an hour later, Li Xuyang and the driver were both sitting on the ground sweating profusely, while Zhu Fengchun on the side had not spoken since he came out, just stood with the money and watched them work, and did not say anything about coming forward to help. When the two of them took the stand, he didn't speak, like a sculpture.

After the two of them were done, Zhu Fengchun stepped forward and handed over the wad of money in his hand. As soon as he saw the money, the driver immediately became jubilant, and the tiredness and reluctance just now were wiped out by the red banknotes in front of him. Li Xuyang didn't react much, just looked at where the driver was holding a banknote in one hand and counting with spit in the other.

"Don't count it, that's 50,000 yuan. Zhu Fengchun said lightly.

"Huh?" Hearing this, the driver and Li Xuyang were surprised, although the sandalwood coffin was expensive, it was not so expensive that just a coffin cost tens of thousands. The driver is Carpenter Li's apprentice, of course, he understands more in his heart, before he goes out, Carpenter Li repeatedly explained, if you ask for money, it must not be less than 15,000, otherwise you will lose. And this Zhu Fengchun is good, so generous, it is 50,000 yuan to throw his hand directly.

"When you're done, you can leave. After Zhu Fengchun finished speaking, he turned around to leave and was stopped by Li Xuyang.

"Wait a minute, can you show me your wife's body? Because the cause of her death was more than just an accident. Li Xuyang said to Zhu Fengchun's back.

Zhu Fengchun did not answer, of course, not answering is not a tacit acquiescence, nor a refusal, let alone a promise. After a while, Zhu Fengchun said, "No." ā€

"You know the news of the death of the daughter-in-law in Yangjiazhuang a few days ago, right?" Li Xuyang was a little reluctant.

"Yes. ā€

"Her death was not a natural death, it was most likely murder. ā€

"It has nothing to do with me. Zhu Fengchun still didn't look back, and continued, "You can go, don't talk nonsense anymore." ā€

The driver also tugged at the corner of Li Xuyang's clothes and signaled him not to say anything. This is obviously for Li Xuyang's good, but in fact, he is afraid that the people of the Zhu family will regret it and ask for the money back.

In this case, Li Xuyang was not good at asking questions, so he could only shake his head secretly, and then left with the driver. On the way, the driver gave Li Xuyang some money, Li Xuyang didn't check how much it was, but was full of thoughts about the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. Of course, looking at the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family is not to know if she is beautiful, but to see if there is anything in common between her and Wu Yan, if both of them are a way to die, then the murderer is the same person.

Originally, Li Xuyang planned to go home, but then he thought about it and planned to go to Zhujiazhuang to find someone else to inquire about the specific situation of Zhu Junchao's family, so that it would be easier to investigate. Although Li Xuyang is not a policeman, it is the duty of a soldier to maintain the security of the motherland and protect the safety of the people.

Li Xuyang came to the street of Zhujiazhuang, it was noon, and it was also time for lunch, so there were few people on the street. In front of an old house in front, there was an old man sitting eating with a bowl, and Li Xuyang was going to ask.

Coming to the old man, the old man raised his head and looked at Li Xuyang, who did not speak, and then continued to eat.

"Uncle, can I ask you something?" Li Xuyang parked the car, then came to the old man, squatted down and asked.

The old man still didn't speak, and ate the rice in the bowl by himself, and then nodded.

"Do you know Zhu Junchao?" asked Li Xuyang.

When the old man heard the name "Zhu Junchao", the chopsticks in his hand stopped, and the wrinkles on his face that had been ruthlessly crossed by the years were all gathered together.

"What are you asking this person for?" the old man looked at Li Xuyang with a serious look on his face, and then asked rhetorically.

"Oh, that's the uncle. I'm from the nearby town of Xin'an. My family sells longevity coffins, two days ago Zhu Junchao went to me to order a coffin, this is not I here to do a good job and want to send him over, but I don't know the way. When Li Xuyang heard the old man's answer, he guessed that he should know, so he said half true and half false.

"You're making fun of my old man, aren't you?" The expression on the old man's face softened, and then he stared at Li Xuyang and asked.

What is that that makes you happy?

The old man's words made Li Xuyang a little incomprehensible, so he asked, "The juniors are true, if I am lying, how can I know the name Zhu Junchao?"

The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment, probably speculating on Li Xuyang's words. In fact, Li Xuyang's panic is also flawless, if it is not true, how can Li Xuyang know someone who can be his grandfather?

The old man didn't answer him directly, but looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he whispered, "Zhu Junchao died half a year ago, and his tombstone is two miles away from the back of the village, which tomb is easy to distinguish, because there are two pine trees in front of his grave and two poplars behind the grave." ā€

"What?" Li Xuyang was taken aback when he heard this. At the same time, his back was covered with cold sweat, how could this be? How could a person who had died half a year ago go to his shop to ask for a coffin? Also, he could move freely during the day. If anything, they're afraid of the sun!

Wait, there's something wrong. If I remember correctly, the day Zhu Junchao went to his house was cloudy. And when he was at his house just now, he had always stood in front of the villa in a place where the sun couldn't shine, and on such a hot day, his clothes were wrapped all over his body, just showing his face.

"Okay uncle, thank you. After Li Xuyang thought it through, he got on the car and pedaled the wheels with all his strength to go to where Zhu Junchao's grave was what the uncle said just now.

Ten minutes later, Li Xuyang came to a field, and in the middle of the field there were indeed four obvious trees, two pine trees and two poplars. This is completely consistent with what the uncle said just now, before coming to the tomb, the tombstone reads "The Tomb of Zhu Junchao". The small words next to it are "Unfilial son, Zhu Fengchun Zhiming." "The time of death is November 11, 2011.

"Could it be that Zhu Junchao is really a dead man? Then what he said is a lie, he doesn't have a daughter-in-law, he bought a sandalwood coffin for himself. That means that Zhu Junchao came back from the dead, and now he should be sneaky, and his son Zhu Fengchun is also a victim. After Li Xuyang figured out the ins and outs, he suddenly realized that everything was because of one person, and that was Zhu Junchao.

"Why are you here? Who told you here?"

Just when Li Xuyang was thinking about it, a cold voice came from behind him.
