Chapter 19: Digging the Heart
Li Qiuping said in detail, so Xia Qi and the others didn't interrupt him, and listened to him narrate the whole incident.
"Early the next morning, I led a few of my disciples in the car sent by the man to the place where the funeral was held.
When he learned that I had arrived, he immediately approached me and asked me to go to the funeral home to see how his father was doing.
To tell you the truth, I didn't want to go at all, otherwise I would have asked to go to the scene when I first learned that my apprentice and two other laborers had been killed.
But in fact I listened entirely to his side of the story, because I didn't want to have anything to do with the corpse.
I politely refused him, but he repeatedly told me that I must go and see the situation, and explained that there was nothing unusual about the body, and since that incident has passed, I have been lying in the funeral home peacefully, and let me put my heart in my stomach.
Hearing him say this, and seeing how impatient he was with me, I thought about it and had to go over and take a look.
In fact, I also knew in my heart that the reason why he asked me to see it was because he wanted me to make sure again, and I was afraid that when everyone looked at the body for a while, it would not be as simple as shame for his father to directly cheat the corpse.
He can suppress the death of my apprentice and those two laborers, but if he is in front of so many people, he will not be able to calm down no matter how capable he is.
I took a few apprentices into the funeral home, but he didn't go in with me, but called to arrange things, and we were led straight to a hut after we entered.
This hut is connected to the meeting place where the deceased is respected, and our funeral here is actually very simple, just find a good day, and then ask a gentleman like us to preside over it, first introduce the life of the deceased, and then read a eulogy and a moment of silence. After all this is done, the deceased will be pushed into the crematorium, and then the son will pick up the ashes and put them in the box, and then directly follow the car to bring down the pre-selected cemetery for burial. ”
Li Qiuping also probably knows a little about these Xia Qi, after all, Zhao Guang is under the jurisdiction of Bei'an City. Therefore, the folk customs of the two places are not much different.
However, Liu Yanmin and a few of them, because of the relationship between the regions they are in, the white things they have there may not be much different from those here.
"I'm not worried about what will happen after the cremation, after all, it's all burned to scum, and I can't cheat the corpse even if I want to, unless the ghost of the old man is also ghostly.
The body was dressed and lay quietly on a yellow and red bed, and two men were waiting in the room, and when they saw us come in, they left like saviors.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, no one but necrophiles, including us, wants to be around corpses.
I took out the amulet I had prepared and pasted it to the corners of the lathe, and after waiting a little longer, I walked over to examine the corpse.
I lifted the quilt and saw that there was no white hair on the corpse's body, and its eyes had been closed smoothly, so I pressed it against its chest and listened. I didn't hear any unusual noises either.
When I found nothing abnormal after the inspection, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart. At that time, I really felt that my previous worries were superfluous, and the father of this big man was an ordinary corpse.
Despite what I found to be the case, I was still a little confused, after all, when I first saw it a few days ago, it was far from what it was now.
As I told you, I'm not good at exorcizing demons. So a lot of things are uncertain.
My apprentices asked me what was going on, and although I was puzzled, I could only tell them that everything was normal because I couldn't say why.
In this way, I conveyed the news that the corpse was not unusual to the big man.
The big man was very happy when he heard it. Because it means that the ceremony can be held normally, and there is no need to think about postponement.
Everything was ready, I also got the eulogy provided by the funeral home, and the life of the deceased will be broadcast by the funeral home in the form of pictures and videos, so I only need to read the eulogy and preside over the ceremony.
The ceremony started on time, and after a few short words, the life of the deceased began to be played on the LED screen. Seeing that my life was almost over, I began to read the eulogy, and then asked everyone to observe a moment of silence.
During the process, my attention was almost all on the corpse, and I had the illusion that the corpse was staring at me coldly.
This feeling was very strong at the time, but looking at the corpse, the corpse was still lying there honestly, and it was not abnormal in the slightest.
I looked at the corpse with a strange expression, and then my apprentice suddenly called me, and I suddenly realized that the silence was over, and everyone was looking at me.
I hurriedly cleared my throat and began to have the people who came to the ceremony look at the remainers in order.
I stepped aside, my eyes still restless on the corpse, not daring to leave.
Those who came to participate in the ceremony, in addition to the family of the big man, were some friends of their family, and there were many of them, and the process of viewing the remains lasted for nearly 40 minutes before it ended.
As soon as the session was over, I glanced inquiringly at the big man, who nodded at me, and I had the body pushed directly into the incineration room.
The participants in the ceremony began to leave the venue one after another, and I smoked outside the incineration room with a few apprentices, waiting for the ashes to come out of it.
But after waiting for nearly 20 minutes without hearing the incinerator start, I couldn't help but push the door and look inside.
This sight suddenly made my face change greatly, and I saw the staff controlling the incinerator lying to the ground with dead eyes, and a bloody hole in his chest was cut, which was shocking.
Looking at the corpse that had been placed on the conveyor belt of the incinerator, it was still lying quietly on it, and there was nothing unusual about it.
My apprentices also sensed my strangeness at this time, and they came to my side one after another, and they all gasped when they saw the scene inside.
Let me call the police quickly and let the police take care of this matter.
Ignoring them, I walked into the room and took the corpse's two hands and looked at it carefully. There was no blood on the corpse's hands, and I tried to open the corpse's mouth again to look at it.
The corpse's mouth was very tight, and it took me a lot of effort to open its mouth a little.
I turned on my phone's flashlight, shone it into its mouth, and ...... Then ......"
When Li Qiuping said this, his voice suddenly began to tremble, and Liu Yanmin couldn't help but urge:
"And then what, don't sell it. Tell me, what do you see? ”
"I saw a pair of eyes!" (To be continued.) )
