Chapter 534: Transformation (2)
The spring flowers on the street lit up sporadically yellow, but the funeral of the Wu family was delayed again and again, and it was never held.
The root of the problem is Wu Jingwei's death. His death made the Wu family, which lost most of its members overnight, even worse. The companies, real estate, and movable property under his and Yu Li's names have lost their most direct managers, and his sons and daughters died in this disaster at the same time, and the remaining heirs of the estate have become underage grandchildren and grandchildren.
Wu Jingwei and Yu Li had already divided the property and arranged the share of the two children before their deaths. They had thought about it enough, but they didn't expect that they and their children would die one after another. Now the people in charge of the Wu family are not surnamed Wu, but Wu Jingwei's son-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The tragedy of the Wu family made the in-laws on both sides a little uneasy. When the police investigated the cause of Wu Jingwei's death, it was naturally indispensable to visit these two families. After a brief period of panic, greed erupted within the two families, overshadowing the fear. The division of the inheritance, which should have been smooth and deserved, turned into a chaotic situation of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" after just a few days of fermentation.
Li Yun, an outsider, was inevitably harassed by the two families.
He has not yet returned to the company, and after being investigated by the police on the day he found Wu Jingwei's death, he continued to live in his original hotel room.
Li Yun is naturally the first object of suspicion by the police. When Wu Jingwei's two in-laws harassed him, they were also suspicious of him, and they wished that when he saw him, he immediately cried bitterly, turned himself in and begged for mercy, and then confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was someone from another family. If the reality is really as wonderful as imagined, then the Wu family's rich inheritance can easily fall into their pockets.
However, imagination is imagination after all. It is impossible for the two families to force Li Yun to lie. When Li Yun didn't say a word, didn't blink his eyes, and stared at people in silence, those who asked him all retreated in fear.
Li Yun is a ghost after all. The so-called "yin qi" and "ghost qi" certainly apply to him. It's just that he has a peaceful personality, he didn't have any major emotional ups and downs before, and he found a stable job after his death, so that kind of yin and ghost qi didn't have a chance to brew.
The environment has a great impact on people, and it has a great impact on ghosts. The private hospitals and nursing homes here are already full of yin qi, and so many people suddenly died, even if they are cleaned up by black and white impermanence, they can only clean up the evil spirits and ghosts, but cannot clean up the breath left by them. Li Yun also had to go out of his body from time to time to go to the hospital to supervise the baby left by the evil ghost, and it was inevitable that the yin qi on his body would come out of the environment there.
Ordinary people feel that breath, and they can't tell the reason, but they are instinctively afraid.
Fortunately, Niu Haixi is still here. With him in the middle, Li Yun was not regarded as a perverted murderer.
Niu Haixi is also capable, and his acting skills can be a gold medal supporting role in TVB. He had an attitude towards the police, and when Wu Jingwei's two in-laws came to the door, he immediately changed his appearance of "mourning the tragedy of the Wu family" and "You two may also be unlucky", which frightened the two families into a stunned one.
Li Yun was silent on the side, but with Niu Haixi's performance, his silence became a master's demeanor. The two families, who were originally afraid, no matter how strong their greed was, they didn't harass Li Yun anymore, but were fooled by Niu Haixi into buying some talismans and other gadgets.
Time flies.
Wu Jingwei's two in-laws quarreled for several days. According to Niu Haixi's inquiry, the lawyer they hired was already gearing up, and the two indictments were submitted to the court almost simultaneously.
Li Yun only told Niu Haixi to keep an eye on the situation of the two families, and he himself spent more time on the baby.
He habitually sat on the doorstep of a villa, looking at the little baby picking flowers and grass in the flower bed opposite.
He had tried to communicate with the baby several times, and even tried the "Psychic Connection" once a day, but he didn't feel anything.
The baby's brain and heart were empty, as if there was nothing.
Li Yun planned to observe for a few more days, and if the baby was fine, he would be able to leave with peace of mind.
Thinking like this, Li Yun still had a wonderful sense of uneasiness in his heart. Obviously, through these observations, he was sure that the baby had no ideas, but when making a decision, he still couldn't help but add modifiers such as "like" and "probably". It's a gut feeling. Li Yun hoped that his instincts were wrong, but he did not dare to be careless.
“…… You can't go in. It's blocked here, and it's investigating. ”
A distant voice drilled into Li Yun's ears.
He'd heard it many times these days.
The area of hospitals and nursing homes is so large, and there are so many dead people in the incident, the police investigation has not been completely completed, and the media and society's attention to this matter is also intermittent, and from time to time there will be some revelations that seem to be true and false on the homepage of various platforms. Those regular and informal media, as well as individuals watching the excitement, all walked around the neighborhood as if they were walking, always trying to find a dog hole or a crack in the ground, so that they could get into it and shoot first-hand information.
But in the end, this is a private high-end place, this circle of fences is extremely solid, there are no dog holes, there are no cracks in the ground, and the monitoring equipment is readily available, the police are afraid of people destroying the scene, and they also sent a lot of police forces to stay here, so that those people with bad intentions can not enter.
Now only ghosts like Li Yun can come and go here at will.
Li Yun's gaze continued to fall on the baby, but he was thinking about how long the people outside would be entangled this time, and what kind of excuse they would find.
“…… We just wanted to go in and have a look...... My daughter died in it, I don't even know how she died, no one can tell. They said she was pregnant, she died of childbirth, but her belly was ...... That's a big belly...... Woohoo......"
"Comrade policeman, please let us in and have a look. Let's just see, burn some paper money. My daughter won't be able to see if she's dead. She kept calling us...... We just want her to be better......"
Li Yun couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction where the voice came from. His gaze passed through the layers of obstacles and saw a middle-aged couple.
The husband and wife had haggard faces, messy hair and clothes, and they looked like people in their seventies and eighties. The two men supported each other, each carrying a bulging dark plastic bag in his empty hand. Li Yun's eyes can naturally see through the layer of plastic bags and see the paper money, ingots and incense candles inside.
The policeman standing guard at the door looked at the middle-aged couple sympathetically, but still refused: "You can't go in here." After he said this formulaically, he softened his tone again, "Don't be in a hurry. It takes time for us to investigate the case, and we can't just give you an answer, right? That's irresponsible. The people in the bureau are now working overtime every day, and they are desperately investigating the case, and they will definitely solve this case as soon as possible and find out the truth. Then you will know what your daughter is ...... Alas...... Don't think about it too much...... Peace of mind. Do you have any other relatives with you? ”
The middle-aged woman shook her head and wiped her tears, "We received a call and rushed over immediately." And they met...... People can't take it back yet......"
"Because I have to find out the situation, I can't let you take it back. You don't want your daughter to leave like that without knowing anything, do you? When we find out what is going on, we will definitely tell you. It's not just you, but there are many others...... A few days ago, there were quite a few people who came to the bureau to inquire about the situation. We're going to have people to receive you, and there will be fewer people looking into cases, right? We will definitely notify you as soon as there is a situation. Don't be in a hurry. The policeman said patiently.
Middle-aged couples have heard these words I don't know how many times. From the moment they received the contact number from the police station and arrived in this strange city, they kept hearing the police persuade and comfort them. Every time they listened, they felt a little relieved, but they quickly became anxious again.
The middle-aged man pleaded again, "We know, we know your hard work. We're not urging you, we're just trying to burn some paper for our daughter now. She was only in her twenties, and she didn't understand anything, so she went down there, alone...... Let's burn some paper money for her, so that she can be around. This was all folded by her mother overnight. We can't do anything, and we can't help you police in their investigations. We hadn't been in touch with her for a few years, and when she was in college, I used to scold her, and she didn't go home at that time...... We don't know if she's doing well outside...... That's all I can do for her now......"
As he spoke, he bowed his head deeply, leaving only his rickety back visible.
His wife burst into tears, and the sound was heartbreaking.
The police were also said to be sad. Although he is only standing guard outside the scene of the incident, he has participated in the entire investigation process and naturally understands the situation of the deceased.
Ma Jiayi is undoubtedly the most special of all the deceased.
She was not the first or the last, but the only one who did not die by "suicide" or "accident".
She died of massive blood loss, the wound was very obvious, and the broken stomach from the inside was a definite cause of death that a layman could see.
However, the bureau's medical examiner had never seen such a wound before.
It is common for internal organs to rupture, and it is also common for organs to come out due to trauma, but who can have their stomach torn open from the inside? Can you still have another person in your belly?
The policeman shuddered at the thought of this.
Ma Jiayi did have another person in her belly, but it was a newly-formed fetus with the size of a palm. No matter how you think about it, a baby tears open the mother's belly.
The policeman immediately shook off his imagination.
In addition to the fact that the cause of death is different, Ma Jiayi is also the deceased who has been investigated and has clearly clashed with people before the incident. She can be regarded as having a conflict with everyone in the Wu family who died in the first batch. Many of the dead were moved from the Wu family's villa to the hospital building because of the conflict, and eventually died there inexplicably, either by suicide or by accident.
The police used Ma Jiayi as a breakthrough, but Ma Jiayi's social relationship was really simple. She has not been in touch with her parents for many years, and some of her acquaintances are also friends of alcohol and meat, and after she was hospitalized, they broke off contact. There is only one nanny left to investigate, Shi Juan. Shi Juan's mental condition is not good, and the description of the whole incident and the answer to the police interrogation can only be described as absurd and bizarre.
It should be said that this major casualty accident itself is very absurd and bizarre.
Thinking of this, the police dryly reassured the middle-aged couple: "The above attaches great importance to this matter, and has asked experts to assist in the investigation." Don't worry. ”
It's not a coping word. The bureau did invite medical experts to hold a special meeting to discuss the cause of Ma Jiayi's death. She may have died of some strange disease, and her internal organs, muscles, and skin were all cracked open because of it, not the strange possibility he imagined.
"If you feel uncomfortable, our bureau has arranged psychological counseling. When this happens, we usually ask a psychiatrist to intervene. Not to mention you, we police officers also often receive psychological counseling. Don't think that's not normal. Sadness, sadness, these emotions are normal. Otherwise, I'll help you report to the bureau. It just so happens that we're going to have a shift change later. I'll take you back to the bureau and ask someone to talk to you, okay? The police changed the subject.
The middle-aged couple shook their heads.
Not long after they arrived, the police and the government had already provided this kind of help. But they can't just let it go.
"Then we'll burn some paper here, okay?" The middle-aged man made a different proposal and discussed.
"We're still investigating, you paper-burning ashes......" the police were embarrassed.
"Let's stay away and find a downwind. We'll clean it when we're done burning. The middle-aged man pleaded.
His wife also pleaded continuously, her face was wet from crying, and she was so anxious that her knees went limp, and she was about to kneel for the police.
"Hey, don't, don't. In that case, burn it over there. I'll help you with that. The police had to compromise.
Li Yun stood at the gate, watching the police help the two to go across the road, walk for a while, and find a suitable open space.
A large circle of openings was drawn on the ground.
The middle-aged couple knelt outside the circle and took out neatly folded ingots from the plastic bag.
Li Yun crossed the road and saw that the rough hands of the two were stained with tin foil. Their fingers were red and swollen, and the action of pinching the ingots trembled slightly.
The burning tin foil wafts out a unique smell.
The gradually burning ingots were placed in the center of the large circle, and the black ashes and red flames were stacked on top of each other.
"Jiajia...... Jiajia, you...... You've made your way all the way...... Go in peace...... Woowoo...... What a wickedness my poor daughter! Young age, how can you ...... like this, like this" The middle-aged woman opened her mouth and began to cry without saying a word.
The middle-aged man didn't say a word, and silently put ingots and paper money in the circle. He didn't look at the woman next to him who was crying on the ground, and all that was left was a numb face and mechanical movements.
Li Yun could feel the sadness from him that was not inferior to that of his wife.
His grief is more complicated than that of his wife.
Remorse was mixed with pain, and his mind kept replaying the fierce arguments he had with his daughter in the past.
The messy picture finally froze on Ma Jiayi's angry face.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes, and the angry face in his mind was replaced by a smug smile.
"Mom and Dad, look, this is my house! I'm rich now! How wonderful! ”
Ma Jiayi circles in the large living room, with high-rise residential buildings surrounded by greenery and clinging to the blue sky.
Ma Jiayi, who turned around, faced the balcony and said in a coquettish voice: "Although the opposite building can directly see the lake over there, the longitude and latitude are ...... But I hated sticking to the lake, it was too damp, so I bought this house. The spacing between the buildings is so large, it does not affect the view. Looking over there, there is the CBD here on the other side, all skyscrapers. New ...... are still being built"
Ma Jiayi turned around and smiled brightly, "This house is okay?" Now it's going to sell for tens of millions. ”
She looked up like she was a child, looking like she was waiting for praise.
Everything comes to life.
The middle-aged man choked in his throat and couldn't say a word, and when he reopened his eyes, he saw a swirling gray-black smoke.
The wife's cry replaced the daughter's crisp voice.
The middle-aged man seemed to see Ma Jiayi's miserable corpse from the smoke.
"Mom, Dad, look at my house...... This is my house, this is my home......"
The strange and familiar voice of his daughter in his mind finally made his dry eyes well-up with tears.
"Jiajia...... Jiajia...... It's Dad who is wrong. Your house is nice, nice...... You're good...... You...... You can go in peace......"
Beside him, his wife's crying stopped, and the next second, it was louder again.
The cry kept echoing in this open space.
Li Yun watched all this silently.
He suddenly turned his head, but he looked at the baby lying on the wall at some point.
The baby's eyes widened, looking at the middle-aged couple, and there was an inexplicable light in the dark eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Li Yun asked subconsciously, his brows furrowed.
The baby tilted its head to look at Li Yun.
This was the first time it had reacted to Li Yun.
Li Yun was stunned for a moment, but saw the baby grinning and showing a smile.
It should have been the child's innocent smile, but a goosebump appeared on Li Yun's body.
The alarm bell shook in his heart, and as soon as he took a step, he saw the baby disappear from the spot.
