Chapter 43: The Funeral
"Huh?"
Sister Hong was surprised when she heard this, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly asked Jiang Sen what happened?
Jiang Sen didn't say so much, and said that Sister Hong couldn't help much, so she was worried, but she just said that she had a heart attack.
Sister Hong sighed.
"Hey~ I know that she has a bad heart, and I also reminded her to pay attention to her body, but I didn't expect it to ......"
Jiang Sen waited for Sister Hong's mood to stabilize before saying, "I don't understand the next funeral procedures, I want to trouble Aunt Hong, you can help manage it." ”
Sister Hong immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, leave it to me." Is she at home now? ”
Jiang Sen said: "I'm not at home, just across the street, I just rented a hearse. ”
Sister Hong heard this and said, "Then you wait a minute......
Sister Hong went to wash up, then put on black clothes, and followed Jiang Sen out of the house with no face.
The hearse was parked on the side of the south wall of the Tin Hau Temple, and when Sister Hong got into the car, she saw Sister Rose lying there coldly, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Go...... Kowloon Funeral Parlor. ”
"Okay! Please be seated. ”
The Kowloon Funeral Parlour is in Tai Kok Tsui, very close to Temple Street, so I soon came to the funeral parlor.
The next step is to open a death certificate and set up a mourning hall.
However, these are all in charge of Sister Hong and Sister Rose's other two good friends who rushed over after receiving the notice, Sister Xia and Sister Zhen, Jiang Sen didn't want him to do anything except sign a few words and take 10,000 yuan to Sister Hong.
It was almost 10 o'clock when the mourning hall was set up, and Sister Hong began to notify Zhang Mei's relatives and friends.
At this moment, the funeral home staff came to consult Jiang Sen, and the monks who did the business included ordinary monks and senior monks with profound Buddhism, and asked him which one he wanted to invite?
Jiang Sen said the monk.
The staff said that the monks practice things, which are divided into small rituals, medium rituals, and large rituals, and the temples are different, the time is different, the number of people is different, and the price is also different.
Jiang Sen almost cursed, he really didn't expect the funeral home and those bald donkeys to play so much now, and there were so many twists and turns to do a ritual.
In the end, he didn't want to be a monk anymore, and asked him to find a Taoist priest from Penglai Langyuan.
I chose a 168,000 "Super Deluxe Dharma Package".
Sister Hong and Sister Xia next to them watched Jiang Sen take out a deposit of 50,000 yuan from his bag and hand it to the staff, and they were stunned for a while.
Even if it's filial piety, it's not so extravagant and wasteful, right?
What will happen in the future?
Just when the two wanted to persuade Jiang Sen, Jiang Sen called Lai Piwen over again and asked him to publish an obituary in several major newspapers in Xiangjiang, and then directly gave him 200,000 yuan.
"If you don't have enough money, ask me for it!"
Lai Piwen didn't say anything, nodded and left with Big Eyes.
Sister Hong couldn't hold back anymore now, and persuaded her: "Ah Sen, I know that you are sad in your heart, and you also want your mother to go beautifully, but there is really no need to ......"
Jiang Sen held Sister Hong's shoulder and said, "I know what Aunt Hong wants to say!" But Sister Rose, she has been arrogant all her life, and she has been aggrieved all her life, and I don't want her to be unknown when she leaves. ”
"Hey!"
Sister Hong sighed again, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
……
Zhang Mei's "daughters" rushed over as soon as they received the news.
When they saw Zhang Mei lying quietly on the petal bed, everyone's faces showed disbelief and great sadness.
Compared with Jiang Sen's son, Zhang Mei gets along with them day and night, treats them very well, and usually protects their interests everywhere, so she has a deep relationship.
The four girls who have followed Sister Rose for the longest time are wearing linen and filial piety to burn paper at the door of the mourning hall, and the other three girls who have been with a short time are helping to do what they can.
And Jiang Sen, under the arrangement of Sister Hong, as a representative of the family, bowed and replied when someone came to mourn.
Although his heart was very twisted, he thought that Sister Rose also died because of himself, so he still replied to the people who came to mourn in a proper manner.
Soon, relatives from Zhang Mei's family and Zhang Mei's friends arrived one after another.
But there weren't many people, just twenty or thirty people.
After the condolences, Zhang Mei's two relatives stayed behind to help maintain some things, and the rest left one after another.
Actually, it's not much anymore.
After tonight's wake, tomorrow the funeral will be buried, and everything will be over.
However, at two o'clock in the afternoon, many people suddenly came outside the mourning hall, wearing uniform black shirts and black pants, and the crowd automatically divided into two rows and stood at the door of the mourning hall, bluffing other people who came to mourn outside the funeral home.
Soon a group of people came from behind, and the front was none other than Cai Changqing, who was currently sitting in the hall with Liansheng.
In addition, Mad Dog Qiang, Scar Zhong, Da Wei, and Li Feng also came.
"One bow, two bows......"
After everyone stepped forward to offer condolences one by one, Cai Changqing said in a deep tone: "I just heard about your mother's affairs, and the condolences are changing!" They are all their own brothers, if there is anything you need help with, just ask. ”
Jiang Sen nodded expressionlessly: "Thank you!" No help needed, I can do it! ”
There is no love in this world for no reason.
In the end, he is just Sijiu Tsai of Liansheng, not to mention that his mother is dead, even if he dies, Mad Dog Qiang will not come to see him, let alone Cai Changqing, the eldest brother of Liansheng.
Now he came to mourn in person, and asked his subordinates to make such a pomp, which was nothing more than trying to sell his favor, so that he could give him his life.
Cai Changqing understood the indifference on Jiang Sen's face, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Sen's "fast knife", he was really very excited and wanted to take it for his own use.
But at the same time, he also found that this knife was a "double edge", and he was afraid that if he didn't use it well, he would hurt himself again, so he was also very conflicted now.
Let's see!
The mad dog also comforted Jiang Sen a few words.
Scar Zhong mourned on his lips, and he was about to vomit blood in his heart, hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent, but Jiang Sen was obviously unable to participate in the competition in this situation now, so didn't he spend his money in vain? But now he can't open his mouth in this situation!
Li Feng wanted to talk to Jiang Sen about his inner kung fu, but the time and place were not right today, so he swallowed the words again.
Just as everyone was about to leave, suddenly a group of people came over outside the mourning hall again, and these people came straight to Jiang Sen.
The middle-aged man in his forties who led the way showed his ID to Jiang Sen and said: "I am Senior Inspector Zhou Jichun of O, there was a gang fire in Sha Tin District last night, resulting in many casualties, there is evidence that this matter is related to Mr. Jiang and you, please ask Mr. Jiang to go back with us to cooperate with the investigation." ”
Before Jiang Sen could speak, Mad Dog Qiang scolded at the man: "Cao Nima's, you say cooperate with it?" ”
The black-faced man in a plaid shirt standing on Zhou Jichun's right scolded: "Mad dog, don't be too arrogant, you haven't wiped your butt of shit clean!" Last time, you sent someone to sweep Dawei's yard and cut Dawei into a vegetative state, this case is not over yet, you give me a little care. ”
Mad Dog Qiang sneered: "Don't wronged me, you don't wronged me, Dawei's old dog has so many enemies, who knows who did it?" If you have the ability, you let Dawei testify against me! ”
"Nima's ......"
The black-faced man was immediately furious, and immediately reached out and grabbed Mad Dog Qiang's collar to beat him.
Dawei is in a vegetative state, how can he testify against him? The other party is clearly sarcastic about his incompetence.
The little brother behind Mad Dog Qiang immediately stepped forward to push the black-faced man.
"Let go of my boss!"
"What do you want to do......
The colleague behind the black-faced man also immediately stepped forward to confront him.
"Stop!"
Zhou Jichun shouted, and after everyone stopped, he said to Jiang Sen with a cold face: "I am now asking you to come over and cooperate with the investigation, if you don't give me face, I can apply for an arrest warrant right now and arrest you." It's up to you to decide what to choose. ”
Mad Dog Qiang still shouted unrelentingly: "Then go and apply for an arrest warrant, come here, talk about a fart without an arrest warrant!" ”
At this moment, Cai Changqing finally spoke: "Sir Zhou, it's not that I don't give you face. You have also seen that someone's mother has just died, and it is not very close to pull someone to the police station at this time, right? You see if this will work, I will vouch for him, and tomorrow after his mother is buried, I will take him to the police station to cooperate with Zhou Sir in the investigation! ”
Zhou Jichun looked hesitant.
The fire and case in Sha Tin District this time is very serious, and at present, the number of dead and injured people has exceeded 20 according to the clues that O Ji has, and in fact it may be more than that, which can be regarded as the most serious case in the past two years.
And Jiang Sen is the direct fuse of this fire, and he is also a major suspect, and now he doesn't pull people, let him abscond, and it will be difficult to turn around and arrest him.
But the good news is that so far no victim has called the police, and it is estimated that no one will call the police, so there is no pressure on O Ji to solve the case.
And Cai Changqing, as one of the three major associations in Xiangjiang and the leader of Liansheng, since they have all opened their mouths to vouch, they can't completely lose face.
Of course, there is another point, he does not have an arrest warrant, if he has to forcibly take people away now, legally speaking, it does not comply with the procedure, and the other party will not recruit him even if he violently resists.
After quickly weighing it, Zhou Jichun borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Since Le Shao has spoken, then ......"
"No need!" Before Zhou Jichun finished speaking, Jiang Sen directly interrupted, "Sir Zhou, I'll go with you!" ”
He really doesn't like to stay in the mourning hall, and when someone comes, he has to bow and answer, so he might as well go to the police station and sit down.
What's more, he doesn't want to owe Cai Changqing a favor.
The debt is not so easy to repay, he has already said that he will quit the club, but he doesn't want to fall into it again.
Jiang Sen said a few words to Sister Hong, and then walked towards the outside of the mourning hall first.
When Zhou Jichun saw it, he immediately followed with his subordinates.
