The cold night wind made me feel a little shivering, but my back was warmed by Fangyuan and made me sweat a lot. It was really a pleasant journey, but it was a pity that the journey was only five kilometers. I soon arrived at the funeral parlor, under Fangyuan
Car, she must have felt it too, as she straightened her uniform with a blushing face.
In addition to our hearse and Brother Qian's Corolla on duty, there is also a black Mercedes-Benz S600 in the parking lot, which is worth a lot of money. Is it the car of Liao Xin's family?
I called Brother Qian and he said that he and Liao Xin's family members were in the morgue at the back and asked me to go there quickly.
When I arrived at the morgue, I saw two middle-aged intellectuals standing in front of the No. 12 freezer with sad expressions. Brother Qian stood aside with a professional expression on his face (he is the deputy section chief of the presiding department and is responsible for presiding)
farewell ceremony).
"Hello." I tried.
Two middle-aged men turned around and did not get angry with me as I imagined. The man extended his right hand to me in a gentlemanly manner and said in a deep voice: "Hello, Comrade Xiao Wu."
"Hello, hello." I took off my white gloves and shook hands with him.
"I heard from the patrol officer that you personally retrieved my daughter's body piece by piece and put it together. Thank you for your hard work." The middle-aged man nodded to me.
"It's not hard, this is what I should do. Life cannot be resurrected. I hope you will forgive me and accept the change." I nodded in return and said some clichés as our hearse driver.
The middle-aged man looked at Fang Yuan next to me again, and I quickly introduced him to him, saying that she was a forensic doctor and that she was also present when my wife's body was collected.
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Forensic Medicine." The middle-aged man shook hands with Fangyuan again.
"Excuse me, did your daughter have any conflicts with others during her lifetime? Do you know her social relationships?" Fangyuan asked bluntly.
I tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Now is not the time to take notes!"
This is not the place to take notes. What if the ghost here is disturbed? And it’s not just one ghost!
"I'm sorry, Sir Fang. Regarding everything about the little girl, I will instruct my lawyer to fully contact your leaders and cooperate with the investigation." The middle-aged man said lukewarmly, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious: You are such a idiot.
A minor character who has not yet fully developed is not worthy of asking me.
Of course, this is just my conjecture. I don't know whether it is complete or not.
Fangyuan has an upright personality, but she is also flexible and flexible. Maybe she was too stupid to hear the underlying meaning of the middle-aged man's words. She just said "oh" and went to check the other two corpses next door.
The middle-aged man looked at Fangyuan's back, smiled slightly, took out a stack of checks from the inner pocket of his suit, wrote a few words, pulled them off, and stuffed them directly into my hands: "This is a little thought from us as family members, and also
I hope Comrade Xiao Wu will accept it."
If you help collect the body of a deceased person, you will get a red envelope. I understand this rule. Lao Zhou mentioned it to me before he died, but I still looked at Brother Qian and he nodded, so I accepted it. Seeing him has a share, I will score points for him later.
Several hundred dollars.
But when I saw the amount on the check, my eyes almost popped out!
1...How many zeros are behind it? Am I not dazzled? Did he write it correctly? Yes, there is an amount in capital letters below!
1 million! This red envelope is too big!
I looked at the middle-aged man in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"What, too little?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"No, no!" I waved my hands repeatedly.
"Take it, you deserve it." The middle-aged man patted me on the shoulder, turned back, hugged the middle-aged woman and whispered something softly. The middle-aged woman sobbed twice and turned to me.
I bowed slightly and bowed in return. When I looked up again, the two of them had already gone out.
"This is too... too much!" I whispered to Brother Qian. Brother Qian laughed and patted me on the shoulder. I didn't know what he meant.
With trembling hands, I put the million-dollar check into my pocket and pushed Liao Xin's ice coffin back.
Fangyuan was still examining Li Xiaotao's body. I felt it was a little cold in the morgue, so I told her to go out and smoke a cigarette first.
After I finished smoking a cigarette, Fangyuan suddenly ran out excitedly: "I found it! I found it!"
"What did you find?"
"Clue! Look!" Fang Yuan pulled me down and opened her notebook, "What is the attribute of the first deceased, Li Xiaotao, in his name?"
"Plum... peach and wood are attributes of wood." I said, as a person from Yanxia, I still know a little bit about the theory of the five elements.
"Where did he die?"
"In the woods."
"He died in a forest with a wood attribute, right!?"
I nodded and hanged myself. Of course I died in the woods. Does this have anything to do with the Five Elements?
"The second deceased, Zhao Xi!"
"Xi, water attribute," I said with a smart smile. I wanted to make a joke, but soon, the smile on my face froze, "Zhao Xi drowned..."
"Yes! The third deceased, Liao Xin! Metallic, right! So," Fang Yuan clicked on the rectangle on the notebook, "she died in the metal cabinet!"
It seems this is no coincidence...
"So, I deduce that if there is a fourth deceased person," Fang Yuan pointed with a pencil to the left side of the map on the notebook (left, west, right, east), "then the name of this deceased must have words with the attribute of fire.
And the cause of her death should be - fire!"
As soon as I finished speaking, my mobile phone rang. When I answered, it was the duty room.
"Brother Qian."
"Xiao Wu, are you at home?"
"Ah? I'm at work." I frowned. Didn't I just meet him?
"Oh, that's good. It's really evil tonight. The fourth dead person was found again. You have to make a trip."
"Is it Yincheng Street? Did he die in the fire?" I asked quickly.
