"The person who fished out the body below paid Yujiang, and I met Mr. Mo."
In Zhou Shi's room, Fu Yujiang respectfully bowed to Mr. Mo as if he were a man from the underworld.
Corpse fishermen are a group of people in the Yinmen who specialize in boating on large rivers to deal with corpses that drowned in the rivers.
"Okay, okay. Zhou Shi, it seems you two have met before."
Zhou Shi carried a plate with wine and food into the house, bolted the door, and then told what happened at the Qinglong Gang Hall on the dock. After listening, Mr. Mo said:
"Then you have to thank Mr. Fu even more."
Fu Yujiang picked up the wine glass and said boldly: "Thank you for anything. If you want to say thank you, I have to thank you."
"How do you say this?"
"After receiving your information, I was able to fish out so much silver from the river, more than three thousand taels! Don't worry, your half is definitely indispensable."
That’s it!
Zhou Shi remembered that after the Xu Baocai incident ended, several ghosts of people whose boats capsized and drowned in the river came to the inn. They said that their boats carried tens of thousands of taels of silver and all of them capsized in the river.
When Mr. Mo found out about it at that time, he said, "Isn't this business coming soon?"
"No, it's as much as you said, and the rules can't be messed up. We only charge one hundred taels." Mr. Mo said sternly, "Things that don't have an owner belong to whoever picked them up. Without you, we wouldn't be able to go into the water.
Get that money."
"Mr. Mo is so generous, then I deserve it!" Fu Yujiang said, holding his fists.
One hundred taels!
Zhou Shi was greatly shocked. The "business" Mr. Mo mentioned was too lucrative!
No, Fu Yujiang made more than three thousand taels... In this way, corpse fishing is the business that brings in money.
Zhou Shi instantly thought of changing careers.
Mr. Mo seemed to have seen through his little thoughts and scolded: "Don't be unconvinced. Can you go down and fish for the silver that is sinking in the river? You will become a drowned ghost!"
"Haha, Boss Mo, don't worry. If Brother Zhou drowns in the river, I will intercept the Yangtze River and fish up his body. I will never let Brother Zhou become a drowned ghost!"
Why are these words so strange...
"Mr. Fu, don't worry, I just admire your ability. The boat capsized in a strong current, and all the money in the boat was washed away. But you were able to recover so much, it's really amazing."
"It's a small thing, it's a small thing. I remember when my master threw a bunch of copper coins into the river and asked me to go down to the river to fish them out. I had to fish out 800 coins before I was allowed to leave the army. Alas, at that time, newborn calves were not afraid of tigers..." said
Then, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
You guys who fish for corpses are really rich...
Mr. Mo pointed his strange eye at Fu Yujiang and said, "Mr. Fu's visit this time is not just for drinking and talking, right?"
"Mr. Mo has a good eye." Fu Yujiang put down his wine glass, wiped his mouth and said, "I am here this time to ask you two for something."
Oh? Zhou Shi sat upright and listened carefully to what the corpse collector had asked for.
"This is what happened..."
The day before yesterday, in the afternoon, Fu Yujiang took a boat down the river and headed towards Jiangdu.
The people who fish for corpses usually eat and live on the river. Only when a corpse is found, they will fish it up and bring it back to the temporary dock they built. If it is the corpse of a nearby resident or a crew member of a ship owned by the chamber of commerce, then someone will naturally find it.
Come to the corpse collector to find and claim it.
However, the job of the corpse fisher is not just to fish the corpse out of the water. Most of the drowned corpses died in a foreign land, and they are somewhat resentful and can easily generate dirt. The corpse fisher must do appropriate things when lifting the corpse.
Deal with it and prevent future troubles.
So this business is actually quite dangerous.
Fu Yujiang was boating when he suddenly saw a black spot floating in the middle of the river not far ahead. Based on his experience, he judged that it was a floating corpse.
The corpse was floating downstream, so he speeded up the boat to intercept the corpse floating down the river. But he soon discovered that the corpse was approaching him at an abnormal speed!
The floating corpse was actually fixed in the middle of the river and did not float away along the river!
Backflow corpse! Fu Yujiang screamed secretly, this corpse has changed and must be dealt with quickly!
He used the methods of corpse collectors to deal with retrograde corpses, took the body back to his small dock and sealed it, and tried to deal with it using the method passed down by corpse collectors from generation to generation. But it didn't work!
There was no way, this was beyond the scope of the corpse fishermen's specialization, so he had no choice but to come to Jiangdu and ask Mr. Mo to solve it.
After listening to Fu Yujiang's story, Mr. Mo was silent for a while and said to Yu Jiang:
"The body hasn't changed yet?"
"It can be said that there is no sign of corpse transformation at all."
"Well, you go outside and wait for a while, and we'll discuss it."
Fu Yujiang knew that the two of them were going to discuss some matters within the Zuma Hotel, and it would be inconvenient for him as a layman to stay here, so he cooperated and went to the yard to wait.
As soon as he went out, Mr. Mo asked Zhou Shi: "What do you think?"
"Since he said there were no signs of corpse transformation, it's not the corpse's problem, but something attached to the corpse." Zhou Shi replied.
Mr. Mo nodded, considering his answer passed.
"But Mr. Mo, I have a question..." Zhou Shi expressed his doubts, "Didn't you say that corpses and ghosts have different paths? I think Fu Yujiang has a close relationship with you, and he will come to us for help...
…”
Mr. Mo was about to get his cigarette rod, but when he heard this, he stopped and stared at Zhou Shi with a strange eyelidless eye.
"Based on what happened in the past two days, don't you understand why?"
Why...what happened in the past two days?
Zhou Shi thought of the scholar who turned into a ghost and fought with him in Fengde Building... and Fu Yujiang couldn't deal with the things attached to the corpse...
"You mean...someone will create a ghost to harm the person who handles the corpse?"
"There has been such a precedent, which is why the two major forces in the Yinmen broke up. But this is inevitable. After all, no one can accept someone holding a knife to their heart." Mo Lao sighed, "Maybe this is the case.
Well, you have also seen the huge profits that people from the two major industries can make by joining forces. It is inevitable that there will be people with evil intentions who want to take advantage of this connection."
Indeed, there is revenge after death in this world. If one is responsible for destroying corpses and eradicating traces to avoid future troubles, and the other is responsible for torturing ghosts, then...
"Then why did Fu Yujiang..."
"My identity in the Yinmen... is very subtle, so Fu Yujiang can let down his guard." Mr. Mo still took out the cigarette rod, but was stopped by Zhou Shi - he didn't smoke. If the smell of cigarette smoke filled the room,
People find that the explanation is really unclear.
"Anyway, feel free to follow him. Be careful, you will do this when the time comes..."
After Mr. Mo finished explaining, he called Fu Yujiang in.
