Chapter 29 Finding Clues
Chapter 29 Looking for clues
Afterwards, we had breakfast at Li Jianmin's house. During this period, his eldest brother and third brother also came and expressed their gratitude to me. I said it was appropriate and took Fatty Guo to Li Hazi's house.
Because the fire burned for too long last night, Li Hazi's family members didn't get much rest and had a pair of panda eyes. After seeing me there, their attitude towards me changed significantly, and they were enthusiastic and a little impressed.
No.
After arguing for a long time, she asked us to grab a few bites of breakfast at her house. She said it was a courtesy and we were doing things for her family and we couldn't have breakfast at other people's houses. In desperation, we had to eat something again.
After waiting at her house for almost half an hour, Lang Gao came in with two police officers. This time, Lang Gao did not wear a uniform, but wore sackcloth and mourning. He was obviously attending the funeral as a 'filial son'.
I discussed the funeral arrangements with Li Hazi's direct relatives, and finally decided not to go through the process of clearing the road. The reason was that Li Hazi's children were too young, and there were only three nephews and nephews. They were afraid that they would not be able to move around in the execution ground. In addition,
There are still seven fake immortals in the village who are infected with evil spirits. They are afraid of angering those people. After all, this matter has something to do with Li Hazi.
To sum up, opening a road saves money, but there is one more procedure, which is to erect a blood monument. According to our customs, the tombstone usually cannot be erected until one year after the death of the deceased. However, because of this situation
It's a bit special. Li Hazi's relatives asked for a blood monument to express another kind of emotion to the deceased!
There is only one word difference between erecting a blood monument and setting up a monument. However, the process is much more complicated and requires a lot of preparations. It can even be said that erecting a blood monument is almost like holding a funeral.
I didn't refuse, so I told the group of Taoist priests to continue handling the funeral, carrying tombstones, and erecting monuments. They thought about it for a long time and thought it made sense, so they said yes.
There is nothing we can do about it. The group of Taoist priests took over the funeral first. If I stop the funeral in the middle, I will be criticized. This is not what I want to see. After all, there are many Taoist priests who have no conscience, but they have good intentions.
There are quite a few Taoist priests out there, and they don’t want to offend the entire Taoist priest profession because of a funeral.
I will continue to hang out in this area from now on. I represent not just me, but all the Eight Immortals in Lao Wang’s group. If I offend them, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get the job of carrying coffins in the future. The Taoist priest’s words are not threatening.
That's what it means, but it's the real truth. To put it bluntly, we the Eight Immortals are just making a living right under their noses.
I shook my head and said I didn't know. Maybe our voices disturbed the Taoist priest. He looked up at me, frowned, didn't say anything, and continued the work at hand.
Finally, Li Hazi's wife asked me when to erect the blood monument. I asked for her son's birth date and Li Hazi's horoscope. After calculation, I set the time for tomorrow, which is when Li Hazi was buried.
That afternoon.
When accepting people's money, they have to be more attentive in doing things. I asked them to insist on bathing the fake immortal with mugwort. If possible, they should go to Li Jianmin's father's grave to burn some yellow paper and say some nice words, which should make him better faster.
Originally, Lang Gao also wanted to participate in the investigation, but I refused. I said that since he wears mourning and mourning, he must be a "filial son", otherwise he will easily attract the displeasure of the deceased. He thought for a while and said, OK, I must find out the murderer.
His uncle's murderer.
Those women may not have noticed Fatty Guo's actions, but I could see clearly that this guy didn't pull them up, but took the opportunity to take advantage of them. Sometimes I really don't understand Fatty Guo. The taste is too strong.
Already?
I kicked him on the butt and cursed: "Get out of here, don't be so mean-spirited here!"
I looked at the Taoist priest's face. He had a Chinese character face and a three-inch long beard under the corner of his mouth, which gave people the impression of a row of Taoist bones. After seeing us come in, he didn't even raise his head.
After discussing all this, Lang Gao asked me to assist his policemen in investigating who the scavenger was who put the coffin. I agreed without thinking. Although the blisters on my body were better than before, they were not completely eliminated.
Things get better, this person letting the scavenger go is related to my health.
"Who is this guy? I feel so awesome!" Fatty Guo asked me, pointing at the Taoist priest.
Fatty Guo retracted his hand unwillingly, and walked out muttering like a woman. I followed him out, and then walked to the main room, intending to check the main room.
To be honest, my sentiments are not very noble, and I am not the kind of person who gives kindness without repaying it. I accepted their gratitude calmly and accepted the money one by one. I need money more than anyone else.
, I need money to buy medicine for my mother, I need money to share family responsibilities for my father, and to be more selfish, I also need to save some money to marry a wife in the future.
After I came out of Li Hazi's house, there were two more policemen beside me, which made Fatty Guo feel embarrassed for a while. He said that it was very polite for the police to serve as his bodyguard, which made the two policemen stare anxiously.
After checking on them, I found that the blisters on their bodies were much better than yesterday. Their wife said that bathing with mugwort was effective, so she thanked me and took some money.
They thanked me again and almost knelt down. Fortunately, Fatty Guo reacted quickly and pulled them up and said, "I believe what Brother Jiu said is true. I promise it will be fine in a few days."
When I walked into the main room, there were many people standing in the main room. A middle-aged Taoist priest was picking up the bones of the deceased and chanting some words that I couldn't understand. A group of relatives were kneeling in front of the pile of firewood and ashes, crying.
"Don't make any noise, let's do our own thing, don't disturb others!" I said softly and walked towards the innermost part of the hall, and the two police officers followed me.
I asked the two police officers to go to the main room first to see if there were any clues. I took Fatty Guo to the homes of those fake immortals to see what was going on with them.
Because of the fire, the smell in the main room was not very good, and there was some light rotten smell in the air. There was nothing in the innermost part of the main room, which was a wooden altar with various items from Licun on it.
Ancestor tablets for each household, as well as an incense cup.
I took a general look, and there was nothing suspicious. I also looked around the ground, and it was still the same. It was just that the walls were a little black after the fire. According to my opinion, Li Hazi and Li Jianmin's father were normal.
There is little communication and no common enemies.
But after these two people died, their bodies were eaten by scavengers. What puzzled me was that usually there were people guarding the coffins, so there was no chance that scavengers would put them in.
After wandering around the main room for a long time, there were no clues. Fatty Guo said impatiently: "Brother Ninth, what do you do? Isn't it the job of the public security to find the murderer? What are you messing with?"
