75. A First Look at the Funeral Home
A woman’s sixth sense is accurate. Whether it is a careful woman or a carefree woman, the sixth sense is their innate talent.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Are you not holding back anything?" Xiao Di asked coldly.
"What are you saying? How can such a beautiful person say such vulgar words?" Xiaoxin was seen through. Even though Tan Xuan was thick-skinned, he was inevitably embarrassed, but he still wanted to hide it. Unfortunately, Xiao Di, the enemy, would not give him this opportunity.
Xiao Di said with a red face and stammering his neck, "Why is it so vulgar? Do you and I use ladylike clothes to dress? I don't know your curvy intestines yet. When did you talk to me and you are smiling now, you don't have to think about it. You must use me."
Tan Xuan smiled, "What you said is reasonable, but it is too straightforward. It doesn't match your temperament. It's better to speak more implicitly. I do need your help if I have something to do."
Before Xiao Di could say anything bad, Tan Xuan changed his attitude and put away his smile and continued, "You said you wanted to investigate this matter with me. Then you can't count on me. Isn't it okay for you to put some effort into it? Besides, I didn't let you do something illegal..."
"Stop, stop!" Xiao Di interrupted Tan Xuan impatiently, "I'm just like a sissy, just tell me what I do."
Xiao Di is good at being unreasonable. He knows that he is definitely not Tan Xuan's opponent when he presents facts and reasoning like this. If Tan Xuan talks about it for a while, he will not know where to wrap her around.
Tan Xuan smiled and said his purpose, "That...you use your relationship and check if the bodies of Wang Dongxue and Li Haoran were claimed by their families? Where are they now? Has they been cremated?"
"What!" Xiao Di almost fell off his chin, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Tan Xuan in surprise.
"What do you mean? You are not going to hit the two of them, are you?"
Tan Xuan nodded, "There is no other way now. Isn't their bodies also their relics? You should ask quickly. If it has been cremated, then I have to think about whether there is any other way."
As he said that, seeing the two movers going downstairs again, Tan Xuan hurriedly pulled Xiao Di away from the downstairs.
The corpse is the remains of the deceased. Although this sentence makes sense, it also refreshed Xiao Di's three views and was able to use it so much. This is completely no one else. But even though she was a little resistant, she still started to contact her friends after returning to the car.
Xiao Di’s network of relationships is indeed quite wide, especially in the public security system. It seems that there are her acquaintances in any department. Tan Xuan didn’t see her calling her brother, but she got a reply after hearing her ask a few sisters. Li Haoran’s body has been claimed and cremated by his family. Although Wang Dongxue’s family has come, it has not been taken away for some other reasons and is now being stored in the morgue of the funeral home.
After listening to Xiao Di's retelling again, Tan Xuan directly started the car, "Let's go, let's go to the funeral home."
After working as an online car-hailing driver for so long, Tan Xuan has been to most places in Jiangzhou, but he has never attracted guests from the funeral home. He even doesn't know where the funeral home is in Jiangzhou. There is no way, so he can only turn on his phone and search, and then follow the navigation.
Jiangzhou has a large area. After all, it is a provincial capital city and has a large permanent population. However, there is only one funeral home in Jiangzhou, which is completely dominant. All the dead in Jiangzhou city have to go through the last journey there.
The location of Jiangzhou Funeral Home is very remote, and it seems that it is not enough to describe it as a suburb. It took half an hour to drive northwest to find it at the foot of a mountain.
It was still in the morning when Tan Xuan and the others arrived. There were many people crying in mourning clothes in the funeral home courtyard. Tan Xuan knew that they were late. If they came early, the scene here would be even more spectacular, because the main department in the funeral home only worked for half a day. At noon, the crematorium had to get off work. If you want to cremate, you had to come early tomorrow to queue up. Of course, those with elderly people at home also knew this custom, and they did not run here to queue up a day in advance.
Tan Xuan parked his car in the corner of the parking lot, and then had a preliminary understanding of the environment of the funeral home through the map in the parking lot. This place is worthy of being the only funeral home in Jiangzhou. It has very comprehensive supporting facilities. There are several viewing halls just for farewell halls, and the incinerator is divided into several classic and environmentally friendly types. Professional funeral guidance companies and representatives of cemetery property have set up offices here. Of course, the staff of the funeral home also have their own office buildings. Although they are not grand, they occupy a large area.
Tan Xuan found the location of the morgue in the map, and followed the route on the map and took Xiao Di down his head and quickly walked from the noisy front yard to the back yard of the funeral home. There were many cars and people in the funeral home, but everyone who could chat knew each other. Except for those who were busy with performance for work and unfamiliar people who did not say hello on this occasion, they did not attract the attention of others along the way.
There were also many people in the backyard. There were groups of people holding urns walking from the back of the incinerator to the ashes storage. A few people carried bundles of yellow paper from the ashes storage to the back. There were also smoke rolling there, crying was shocking, and it was even more noisy.
Tan Xuan learned from the map that the buildings on the east side of the backyard are all places to store ashes. Walking west, passing through a high wall gate, the bungalow in the corner is the morgue, and there is no one coming and going here. Although it is just separated by a wall, it is much quieter.
Tan Xuan and Xiao Di looked at each other and walked towards the gate of the morgue.
"stop!"
Just as the two of them were a few steps away from the door, a sinister voice suddenly came from behind.
The two turned around and saw an old man hunched back 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 it was a little unbearable to see, especially his eyes that were the size of sesame seeds in his pupils were shivering, which made Xiao Di tremble and unconsciously hid behind Tan Xuan. When they met such a person in such a place, they looked furious. Fortunately, it was during the day, and if it was at night, it would probably scare people to death.
"What are you doing?" the old man asked at the two of them with a ugly face. The voice was not loud, but it seemed to hit the bottom of his heart. Tan Xuan and the others felt cold in their hearts.
Tan Xuan's mind was very fast, and immediately replied with a heavy expression: "Uncle, we are here to see off our loved ones. My wife is anxious and wants to find a place to facilitate it. There are many people in other places and she is timid and she is so brave. I brought her here. Uncle, is there a bathroom here? Let's use it and come out immediately."
"It's convenient to come here?" The old man looked at Tan Xuan and Xiao Di coldly, and saw that they both took two steps back before he looked away.
"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 could it be without a bathroom? What kind of door is locked in broad daylight? Is there no one inside? It's almost noon and I've been skipping work." Tan Xuan continued to pretend to be stupid and said, and his tone was mixed with a hint of anger and complaint.
The old man looked up at Tan Xuan and smiled sinisterly, "There are people in this house, but they can't use the toilet."
"Why?" Tan Xuan asked silly, not reducing his silly because of the old man's smile.
"Because they are all dead people, have you heard that dead people still have to go to the toilet?" The old man said in his eyes, as if he wanted to send this sentence directly to his heart through Tan Xuan's eyes.
"ah!"
Tan Xuan screamed in shock, and after being stunned for a moment, he pretended to be panic, turned around and looked at the confined door of the house, then pulled Xiao Di and ran away from the yard, as if he saw something terrifying in the house was about to rush out.
Without stopping all the way, Tan Xuan ran directly to the intersection of the backyard and turned a corner until the incinerator house completely blocked his vision.
"Why are you running so urgently?" After stopping, Xiao Di asked panting. Seeing that there were many people coming and going, she was afraid that others would hear their conversation, so she pulled La Tanxuan into the corner again.
"If you don't show fear, you won't run away, can the old man believe it?" Tan Xuan said with a humming voice. He was not tired of running, but pretending to be afraid of acting. After all, pretending to behave is not what he is good at.
"Yes, look at him with a slight look. The eyes of us two are like looking at thieves. What can we see there? Who can steal those who die? I think he just did it on purpose, just like scaring us." Xiao Di also muttered to Tan Xuan's words, obviously all the blame for not successfully sneaking into the morgue was on the hunchbacked old man.
Tan Xuan returned to normal after gasping for two breaths. He smiled again and said, "He is really not wrong. We are here to steal things from death."
"You..." Xiao Di glared at Tan Xuan in anger, and frowned at the same time, and reached out to pinch Tan Xuan's arm, "Tan Xuan, you bastard, stinky hooligan, who did you just say is your wife? Who is busy going to the bathroom and going to urinate or defecate anywhere..."
"Oh, ah, don't pinch..." Tan Xuan hurriedly begged for mercy, and kept explaining, "Aren't I talking nonsense in a hurry? I can't find the toilet, can I find it? I don't say you are my wife, and I don't believe it if other people don't."
Xiao Di still refused to give in 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 fiercely. Tan Xuan was stunned for a while by Xiao Di's words, and then he said angrily: "I said you are my mother. Do you think he is blind or stupid? How old are you to have such an old son? Are you in your mind?"
"Hey, you dare to refute me..."
Xiao Di's hand moved again, and it was harder than before.
Is it wrong to explain or explain, Tan Xuan was speechless. After struggling for a few times, it made Xiao Di even more ruthless. In the end, Tan Xuan gave up the resistance and let Xiao Di get excited and relieved. This matter was over. So in the funeral home where the atmosphere was solemn and people expressed their grief, two extremely inconsistent figures of fighting and quarrel appeared. Sometimes their screams even overshadowed the cry of the crying people, and it seemed out of place in the entire funeral home. It was not until they found that the eyes of others looked at them that they reacted and lowered their heads and ran back to the parking lot.
When she returned to the car, Xiao Di felt worried again, "The gate of the morgue is locked, and there is an old man guarding the door at the gate. How can we go in and find Wang Dongxue's body?"
"If you can't do it, just find a way." Tan Xuan said in a plain tone, and started the car at the same time.
Xiao Di shook his body. Seeing the car driving out of the parking space, he asked foolishly: "Aren't you trying to find a way? Where are you driving now?"
"Now there are people watching. We can't even make a fussy person. When it's dark, there's only the old man who is watching the door. Let's find a way to get in."
Xiao Di's eyes widened and asked timidly: "You think we two will go to the morgue tonight?"
"Yes, it's so convenient tonight. Are you planning to break through in broad daylight?" Tan Xuan gave Xiao Di's eyes blank, then a smile appeared on his face, and asked, "What's wrong, are you scared to go tonight?"
"No, I have anything to be afraid of. I've seen all the ghosts, and I'm still afraid of seeing dead bodies..." Xiao Di shook his head, gritted his teeth and said firmly. He was just stubborn and shuddered in his heart. She knew better than anyone else. She let Tan Xuan drive the car out of the funeral home, and before he found out where they were going before dark and whether they were going to prepare anything.
