75. A First Look at the Funeral Home

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Women's sixth sense is accurate. Whether they are careful women or careless women, the sixth sense is their innate talent.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you holding back something good?" Xiao Di asked with a cold face.

"What are you talking about? How can such a beautiful person say such vulgar words?" His little thoughts were seen through. Even though Tan Xuan was thick-skinned, he was inevitably a little embarrassed, but he still wanted to cover it up. Unfortunately, Xiao Di

How could his enemy give him this chance?

Xiao Di blushed and rubbed his neck and said: "Why is it so vulgar? Do you and I need to dress like ladies? I don't know how curvy you are. When did you talk to me in a pleasant manner? Now you are smiling playfully with me.

Yes, you don’t even have to think about it, you must be using me.”

Tan Xuan chuckled, "What you said makes sense, but what you said is too straightforward, which doesn't match your temperament. It's better for us to be more reserved when we speak. I do need your help with something."

Before Xiao Di could say any more unpleasant words, Tan Xuan changed his attitude, put away his smile and continued: "You said you wanted to investigate this matter with me, so you can't count on me. You can't help me."

Is that what it should be? Besides, I’m not asking you to do anything illegal..."

"Stop, stop!" Xiao Di interrupted Tan Xuan impatiently, "Momojiji is acting like a girl, just tell me what you want me to do."

Xiao Di was good at being unreasonable. He knew that he would definitely not be Tan Xuan's opponent by presenting facts and reasoning like this. If Tan Xuan was allowed to talk for a while, he would not know where to lead her.

Tan Xuan said his purpose with a smile, "Well... use your connections to check whether the bodies of Wang Dongxue and Li Haoran have been claimed by their families. Where are they now? Have they been cremated?"

"What!" Xiao Di was almost shocked, his jaw opened wide, and he looked at Tan Xuan in surprise.

"What do you mean? You don't want to kill their two corpses, do you?"

Tan Xuan nodded, "There is no other way now. Aren't their bodies also their relics? You should ask quickly. If they have been cremated, then I have to think about whether there are any other ways."

As he said that, seeing the two movers coming downstairs again, Tan Xuan hurriedly took Xiao Di and left downstairs.

The corpse is the relic of the deceased. Although this sentence sounds very reasonable, it also refreshes Xiao Di's three views. It is completely unparalleled to be able to make the best use of things. But even though she is somewhat resistant in her heart

, but still started to contact her friends after returning to the car.

Xiao Di's network of contacts is indeed quite wide, especially in the public security system. It seems that she has acquaintances in every department. Tan Xuan did not see her calling her brother, but only heard her ask a few sisters and got the answer.

Li Haoran's body has been claimed by his family and cremated. Although Wang Dongxue's family came, they did not take it away for cremation due to some other reasons. It is now stored in the morgue of the funeral home.

After listening to Xiao Di's retelling, Tan Xuan started the car directly, "Let's go to the funeral parlor."

After working as an online ride-hailing driver for so long, Tan Xuan has been to most places in Jiangzhou, but he has never picked up guests from a funeral home. He doesn't even know where the funeral home is in Jiangzhou. He has no choice but to open the door

Search on your phone and follow the navigation.

The area of ​​Jiangzhou is not small. After all, it is a provincial capital city with a large permanent population. However, there is only one funeral parlor in Jiangzhou City. It is completely dominated by one funeral parlor. All the deceased people in the entire Jiangzhou city must be there.

The last journey was completed in a hurry.

The location of Jiangzhou Funeral Home is very remote. It seems that describing it as a suburb is not enough to describe its remoteness. After leaving Jiangzhou City, I walked northwest for half an hour before I found it at the foot of a large mountain.

It was still morning when Tan Xuan and the others arrived, and there were many people in mourning clothes and mourning in the courtyard of the funeral home. Tan Xuan knew that this was because they arrived late. If they had arrived earlier, the scene here would have been more spectacular, because

The main departments in the funeral home only work for half a day. At noon, the crematorium closes. If you want to be cremated, you have to come early tomorrow to queue up. Of course, those with elderly people at home also know this custom and do not go there a day in advance.

There's a queue here.

Tan Xuan parked the car in the corner of the parking lot, and then used the map in the parking lot to get a preliminary understanding of the environment of the funeral parlor. It is indeed the only funeral parlor in Jiangzhou, and the supporting facilities are very comprehensive, including the farewell hall and the viewing hall.

There are several, and the incinerators are also divided into several classic and environmentally friendly types. Professional funeral guidance companies and representatives of cemetery real estate have set up offices here. Of course, the staff of the funeral home also have their own

Although the office building is not grand, it occupies a large area.

Tan Xuan found the location of the morgue on the map, and followed the route on the map with Xiao Di and quickly walked from the noisy front yard to the backyard of the funeral home with his head lowered. There were many cars and people in the funeral home, but

Everyone who could chat was an acquaintance. Except for those who were busy with their work and achieving results, no one they didn't know casually said hello on this occasion. Along the way, the two of them didn't attract anyone else's attention.

There were a lot of people in the backyard. There were groups of people surrounding the person holding the urn and walking from the back of the incinerator to the ashes storage area. There were also a few people carrying bundles of yellow paper and taking them out from the ashes storage area.

I went to the place where the memorial tablet was placed further back, where there was thick smoke billowing, loud cries, and it was even more noisy.

Tan Xuan learned from the map that the buildings to the east of the backyard are where ashes are stored. He walked west and passed through a gate with a high wall. The bungalow in the corner was the morgue. No one came and went here.

Although there is only a wall between us, it is much quieter.

Tan Xuan and Xiao Di looked at each other and ran towards the door of the morgue.

"stop!"

Just when the two were still a few steps away from the door, a gloomy voice suddenly came from behind.

The two turned around and saw an old man with a hunchback standing behind him, walking towards them. They didn't pay much attention when they came in. It turned out that there was a duty room inside the door. The old man's hair was gray and a bit unsightly.

, especially his eyes with pupils the size of sesame seeds glowed with cold light, which made Xiao Di tremble and hide behind Tan Xuan unconsciously. Meeting such a person in such a place would make him terrified.

I was so panicked. Fortunately it was daytime. If it were nighttime, I would probably be scared to death.

"What do you do?" the old man asked, glaring at the two of them with an ugly face. His voice was not loud, but it seemed to speak directly to the bottom of their hearts, making both Tan Xuan and Tan Xuan feel chilled.

Tan Xuan's mind turned quickly and he immediately replied with a heavy expression: "Uncle, we are here to say goodbye to our relatives. My wife is in a hurry and wants to find a convenient place. There are many people in other places and she is timid, so I will take her with her."

She's here. Master, is there a bathroom here? We'll use it and come out right away."

"Is it convenient to come here?" The old man looked at Tan Xuan and Xiao Di coldly, and then he looked away when they both took two steps back.

"There is no toilet here. Didn't you see that the door is locked? Get out of here quickly."

"This house is so big, how can it not have a bathroom? Why should the door be locked in broad daylight? Is there no one inside? It's almost noon and everyone has skipped work and gone out." Tan Xuan continued to pretend to be stupid and said in a tone of confusion.

There was also a hint of anger and complaint.

The old man looked up at Tan Xuan and smiled sadly, "There are people in this house, but they can't use the toilet."

"Why?" Tan Xuan asked innocently, but the old man's smile did not make him look any less silly.

"Because they are all dead. Have you ever heard that dead people still need to go to the toilet?" The old man said, staring into Tan Xuan's eyes, as if he wanted to send this sentence directly to Tan Xuan's heart through his eyes.

"ah!"

Tan Xuan screamed, and after standing there for a moment, he pretended to be panicked, looked back at the closed door of the house, and then pulled Xiao Di and ran away from the yard, as if he saw something in the house.

It's like something scary is about to burst out.

Without stopping or looking back, Tan Xuan ran directly to the intersection in the backyard, turned a corner, and did not stop until his line of sight was completely blocked by the house leading to the incinerator.

"Why are you running in such a hurry?" Xiao Di asked breathlessly after stopping. Seeing that there were many people coming and going, she was afraid that others would hear their conversation, so she pulled Tan Xuan into the corner again.

.

"If you don't show fear, if you don't run, you won't take the road. Can the old man believe it?" Tan Xuan hummed. He was not tired from running, but pretending to be afraid and tired. After all, pretending is not what he is good at.

"Yeah, look at his little eyes. He looks at us two like thieves. What's there to see? Who can go in there and steal those dead ones? I think he did it on purpose, just like

Scare us." Xiao Di also muttered along with Tan Xuan's words, obviously placing all the responsibility for not successfully sneaking into the morgue on the hunchbacked old man.

After Tan Xuan took a few breaths, he returned to normal. He once again said with a playful smile, "He really got it right. The two of us are here to steal things from dead people."

"You..." Xiao Di glared at Tan Xuan angrily, frowning at the same time, reaching out and pinching Tan Xuan's arm, "Tan Xuan, you bastard, stinking scoundrel, who did you say you were just now?

Wife? Who is busy going to the toilet and has to urinate everywhere..."

"Oh, oh, don't pinch..." Tan Xuan hurriedly begged for mercy, and at the same time he kept explaining, "Didn't I just talk nonsense in a hurry? Didn't I say that I could find the toilet if I couldn't find it? I didn't

If you say you are my wife, other people won’t believe it.”

Xiao Di was still reluctant and continued to scold: "Then why do you say I am your wife? You talk nonsense, why don't you say I am your mother?"

"Uh..." A tough person speaks tough. Tan Xuan was stunned by Xiao Di's words for a while, and then said angrily: "I said you are my mother, do you think she is blind or stupid?

?How old were you when you gave birth to a son as old as mine? Are you out of your mind?"

"Hey, you still dare to refute me..."

Xiao Di's hand moved again, and it was harder than before.

It was wrong not to explain, but it was still wrong to explain. Tan Xuan was completely speechless. After struggling twice, it had no effect. On the contrary, it made Xiao Di attack harder. In the end, Tan Xuan simply gave up the resistance and let Xiao Di enjoy the pinch to relieve his anger.

The matter was finally over. So in the funeral parlor where the atmosphere was solemn and people were expressing their condolences, two figures appearing in a fight that were extremely incongruous with the occasion. Sometimes their screams even drowned out the mourners.

The sound of crying seemed out of place in the entire funeral home. It wasn't until they realized that the eyes of others were looking at them that something was obviously wrong, that they realized what they were doing and ran back to the parking lot with their heads lowered.

Back in the car, Xiao Di felt worried again, "The door to the morgue is locked, and there is an old man guarding the door. How can we go in and find Wang Dongxue's body?"

"If you can't help it, just think of a way." Tan Xuan said in a calm tone, and started the car at the same time.

Xiao Di swayed. When he saw the car driving out of the parking space, he asked innocently: "Aren't you thinking of a way? Where are you driving to now?"

"There are people watching there now. We can't intrude on the crowds. When it gets dark and no one is around, there will be only the old man guarding the gate. We will find a way to get in."

Xiao Di's eyes widened and he asked timidly: "You want us to go to the morgue tonight?"

"Yes, it's so convenient at night. Do you still plan to break in in broad daylight?" Tan Xuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Di, then a smile appeared on his face and asked: "What's the matter, are you afraid of going at night?"

"No, I have nothing to be afraid of. I've seen ghosts, and I'm afraid of seeing dead bodies..." Xiao Di shook his head and gritted his teeth and said firmly. It was just that his words were hard words, and his heart shuddered.

Everyone knew that Tan Xuan drove the car out of the funeral home without asking where they were going before dark or whether they had anything to prepare.
