Chapter 14 Questioning
After hanging up Sun Lu's phone, I felt like my scalp was about to explode.
In the same forensic department, Sun Lu must not joke about this kind of thing.
He cried like that 13 on the other end of the phone, and he said that Zhang Xi died......
Zhang Xi died.
Then before I came out of the residence, who was the one I saw and asked me to help him find Li Rui?
Clutching the steering wheel, my brain was in a mess.
Lighting the fire, a gust of wind rushed back to the residence.
I went upstairs and opened the door, but the room was empty.
The towels on the bed seemed to be the same as they had been since I woke up a few days ago.
called Zhang Xi, and the phone was actually connected.
On the other end of the phone, Sun Lu's voice came:
"Xu calamity, calamity, don't grind, hurry up! I can't stand it alone! ”
After hanging up the phone, I looked back at the bed, went downstairs, got in the car, and drove directly to Qitian County.
On the way, I remembered what my grandfather scolded me:
"You shouldn't have been born, you're an ominous person, a scourge!"
I unconsciously thought of Sang Lan, Ji Yayun, and what happened these days.
In less than a year, I graduated.
As long as I pass the psychological assessment, I will be able to graduate, have a job, and have a free dormitory arranged by the government.
Why did it suddenly seem to change the sky, everything changed......
rushed to Qitian County, Zhang Xi's home in the county seat.
As soon as I entered the mourning hall in the front yard, my heart twitched violently, and my scalp was about to explode.
The mourning hall was obviously set up in a hurry, and it was very simple.
Under the big word 'lay', there was actually a row of photos of five people on the table of the Eight Immortals!
There was a bright red lacquer coffin parked in the middle of the mourning hall, the coffin was open, and it was Zhang Xi lying inside!
"Who did this?" I asked Sun Lu angrily.
Sun Lu squinted at the two middle-aged people next to him, a man and a woman.
The man actually smiled and said to me, "You are also Zhang Xi's classmate, right?" I'm Zhang Xi's uncle, and this is his aunt. My brother-in-law and his family are thin, and we are the only ones who can do it. ”
When I saw Sun Lu's ugly face, I asked, "What about the one who asked?" You didn't ask for anything? ”
Zhang Xi's aunt sighed, "Alas, brother-in-law and his family of five are all dead, and our family's economy is not very good, so we can't do it in a big way, so we can only send them off with a ceremony." Early tomorrow morning, find a car to take Zhang Xi to the crematorium for cremation, and finally be worthy of their family. ”
Seeing her sighing and sighing, the two husbands and wives did not have the slightest sadness, on the contrary, there was some joy in their eyes.
Looking at Sun Lu's dark face again, I kind of understand the situation.
Zhang Xi's family is all dead, and most of these two people are looking at their family business, and they have no intention of taking care of the funeral at all.
I walked over to the coffin and took a closer look at Zhang Xi's body, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong.
"When did he die?" I asked.
Sun Lu came over and said, "I came to look for him three days ago, and there was no one at his house. I was afraid that Kiko wouldn't be able to stand the blow, so I looked for him everywhere, only to find that he had hanged himself in his own peach orchard. ”
"When do you think he died?" I asked again.
Sun Lu was stunned, "Judging by the stiffness of the corpse, when I found him, he should have been dead for less than twenty-four hours." By the way, his family had an incident seven days ago. ”
Seven days ago?
Wasn't that the day before I was ready to come to Qitian County?
At that time, I couldn't get through when I called Zhang Xi, could I ......
No, he called me on the way back.
I took a closer look at Zhang Xi's corpse again, and asked Sun Lu who had changed his clothes as I looked at it.
Sun Lu said that he changed it, and glared at Zhang Xi's uncle fiercely as he spoke.
Zhang Xi was wearing a black suit at this time, and his face was serene, as if he was asleep.
But Sun Lu and I looked at him together for a while, raised our eyes and looked at each other, but we both saw horror in each other's eyes.
Sun Lu subconsciously lowered his voice: "Woe, it's been three days, this season, why don't the corpses have corpse spots?" ”
Without saying a word, I walked to the end of the coffin, reached out and touched the top of Zhang Xi's leather shoes, and immediately got goosebumps.
I said to Zhang Xi's uncle: "This can't be done, we have to find someone to ask about the matter and handle it for Zhang Xi again." ”
Zhang Xi's uncle laughed dryly: "Hehe, neither of us is in the local area, how can we know anyone who asks about things." Besides, it's been stopped for three days, and what are you going to do again? ”
Seeing that he was smiling and perfunctory, I was angry and said coldly: "Respect the deceased." ”
After speaking, I asked Sun Lu to keep an eye here, saying that I would go and ask someone about it.
It's a very special thing to ask questions.
If there are no relatives or respected people to come forward, those who ask about things will never get involved in red and white affairs.
Zhang Xi's uncle refused to come forward, so I had to go to the nearest person to ask for help.
And the only person I know here is Zhang Ande, who has had a one-sided relationship with Xiaotaoyuan Village.
When I came to Xiaotaoyuan Village, I directly found Zhang Ande's house with my impression from the last time, and was about to knock on the door, when suddenly, there was a sound of crying and grabbing the ground.
I was hesitating to knock when the door suddenly opened from the inside.
There was a person coming out head-on, and it was actually Zhang Ande!
"Coming?"
"Aang." I replied subconsciously.
"Then let's get things done!" Zhang Ande fastened his buttons and got into my car.
It's already dark, and I don't think much of it at this time.
After getting into the car, I said directly to Zhang Ande: "I want to ask you to help preside over a funeral." ”
Zhang Ande immediately said: "Yes, I owe you." ”
"Owe me?" I glanced at him in the rearview mirror, but I saw that he was sitting in the back seat with his eyes downcast, looking like he didn't want to say much.
I didn't say anything more, and took him to Zhang Xi's house in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the mourning hall, Zhang Ande's face changed, and he asked sharply: "Who is in charge of this?" How could the body be parked in a red coffin? ”
Zhang Xi's uncle said: "This coffin was originally prepared by Zhang Xi's grandmother for herself, and the old man didn't use it, so I made the decision to use it for Zhang Xi." ”
"Nonsense!" Zhang Ande strode to the coffin, only glanced inside, and his face became even more ugly.
I don't know if it's because it's dark and the lights in the mourning hall are dim, I actually think his face is a little scary, how do I feel, he looks a little different from before?
Zhang Ande looked at the corpse carefully again, and said to me: "Hurry up and go to the southeast corner to order three incense sticks, and burn some paper money ingots, the more moons are better." ”
I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly came to the corner with Sun Lu with incense and paper money.
Sun Lu took out a lighter and lit it for a long time, but the incense couldn't be lit.
Zhang Ande said: "Shouting the old man's name, say sorry. ”
I asked Sun Lu what Zhang Xi's grandmother was called.
took the incense and lighter, and whispered while lighting it: "Grandma Zhang, we are Zhang Xi's classmates, and we are all very sad that something like this happened in your family." No one asked anything before, Xizi occupied your old house longevity, your boss has a lot, when he hurts his grandson, don't blame him. ”
I shouted Grandma Zhang Xi's name over and over again, lit it seven or eight times, and finally lit the incense.
I breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked Sun Lu to burn the paper.
Just when Sun Lu and I were burning a lot of paper money, Zhang Ande actually closed the door of the mourning hall.
While burning the paper, Sun Lu glanced back, turned his head and whispered, "Where did you find this question?" It's quite formal, and he actually wears a Tang costume. ”
My heart moved, and I hurriedly looked back at Zhang Ande.
It didn't matter, I almost sat on the ground in fright.
I didn't pay attention to it in a hurry just now, but only now did I see that Zhang Ande was actually wearing a blue satin dress embroidered with Dafushou.
That's actually a shroud!
Look at his feet, white socks, mille-feuille shoes... There was no shadow of him on the earth.
This Zhang Ender is not a human, he is a ghost!
I panicked, hurriedly got up, and subconsciously went to get my bag.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up in the mourning hall.
The ashes in the brazier were all rolled up and swirled in the mourning hall.
Look at Zhang Ande again, it's gone!
"Ahh Zhang Xi's aunt screamed.
Zhang Xi's uncle was also frightened: "What's going on?" What about the people just now? ”
It's not good, let that old thing go yin!
"Tuzi, help me close the coffin!" I shouted loudly and ran to the coffin, hurrying to remove the coffin lid.
This red coffin is very heavy, and the coffin lid alone weighs 100 catties.
Fortunately, Sun Lu came to help, and the two of them took a lot of hands and feet to close the coffin lid.
"Where's the coffin nails?" I asked Zhang Xi's uncle loudly.
I asked twice, but I only heard the woman's screams.
"You don't have coffin nails ready?" I asked Sun Lu.
Sun Lu raised his head, his face suddenly changed, and he pounced on me and knocked me to the side.
At the same time as I was knocked open, a coffin nail was pressed against my face.
Flashed to the side, and looked at it intently, Zhang Xi's uncle was actually full of hideous face at the moment, staring at red eyes, gritting his teeth, and holding the coffin nail in his hand and pounced on me again.
Shocked and angry, I lifted my foot and kicked him away.
Sun Lu hugged him from behind, pinched his wrist with one hand, twisted it hard, and heard the sound of "rattling" and dislocating his bones. But the coffin nail in his hand did not take off.
"He's demon-possessed!" I reacted and reached into my bag to touch it, but in my hurry, I only touched a bag of soft things.
I hurriedly took out the bag, took it out, and slapped it on Zhang Xi's uncle's face.
The exterior was sprinkled, and the shavings and sawdust inside exploded in his face like a rain.
"Ahh
Zhang Xi's uncle suddenly let out a terrible and piercing scream, his body twitched twice, the coffin nail fell to the ground with his hand, and the person also collapsed into Sun Lu's arms.
I barely breathed a sigh of relief, these shavings and sawdust were cut off when I was sharpening the mahogany nails, and I was originally going to use them to burn that ghost clothes for Ji Yayun, but I didn't expect them to come in handy here.
"What are you two doing?" Zhang Xi's aunt actually pounced on her at this time and tore with Sun Lu.
I didn't care about her, and bent down to pick up the coffin nails on the ground.
But as soon as his hand touched the nail of the coffin, he heard a muffled sound of "bang" behind him, as if something heavy had fallen down.
Zhang Xi's aunt's eyes widened in shock: "Ghost! Then, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
I grabbed the nail of the coffin and took a step forward before I dared to turn back.
When I turned around, I saw that the lid of the coffin had been opened, and Zhang Xi actually sat up from the coffin, opened his eyes, and looked at me gloomily.
