return at night
With Little Finger's ability to collect information, it is not difficult to find a missing coffin shop owner in Jiangling City. However, the time when those people disappeared did not match the time of death of the corpse in the vault.
Xie Bangui had no choice but to go to each family and ask them one by one.
After walking a few houses, the tall and fat man became impatient: "Brother, have we made a mistake? This is the fourth family. The three people in front of them are all fine. The most outrageous one is Wang.
Remember, that idiot actually went to live in the building. His wife reported the case because she wanted us to get his man back. I really want to beat him to death."
Xie Bangui said with a smile: "This is the last one, maybe we can gain something."
"Xuan!" Fatty Gao said this, but he took out Jin Yiwei's waistband in his hand, which frightened Yu Ji Shoucai's proprietress so much that she collapsed on the ground.
Xie Bangui gave the fat man a helpless look, put on a cold face and said, "Stand up and speak. Just say whatever I ask."
"Yes!" The landlady stood there tremblingly, not even daring to raise her eyes.
"How long has Boss Yu Ji been missing?"
"It should be two months..."
The fat man said with a tigerish face: "What do you mean should? A few months is a few months."
The wife of the boss was frightened to tears again: "The boss left more than five months ago. He came back once, but there is no news about him."
"Huh?" Xie Bangui became interested. If Boss Yu disappeared five months ago, it would coincide with the death time of the body.
Xie Bangui said harmoniously: "Then why didn't you report the crime before?"
"At that time, the head of the house said he had accepted a business and was going out for a trip. He might have to delay the trip. When he left, he also took two pieces of cypress wood with him."
Xie Bangui's eyes lit up and he said, "How big are those two longevity rods?"
"One is more than ten feet long, and there is also a slightly smaller one. It's about this thick!" The boss's wife gestured with her hands: "Two of them plus one are just enough to punch a thin piece of wood. But when he came back, I
I thought something might have happened, he... didn't look like a human at all at that time!"
Xie Bangui said in a deep voice: "Tell him the story of his return in detail, without leaving out even the slightest bit."
That night, just as Mrs. Yu Ji was about to go to sleep, she heard a knock on the door in the shop. People who are in the coffin business often encounter customers who come to the door in the middle of the night, but she has never heard such a disturbing door knock.
.
The sound of knocking on the door was not loud but extremely mechanical, as if it had been calculated in advance. The interval and sound volume of each knock were exactly the same. It sounded like someone was hammering nails into a coffin.
The landlady took out a kitchen knife from behind the counter and asked in a trembling voice: "Who?"
"Open the door!"
"The boss?" Although the voice outside seemed a little hoarse, you could still tell who it was. But as soon as the landlady opened the door, her heart tightened.
Boss Yu, dressed in black cloth, stood in the shadow outside with his head lowered, his right hand tucked into his sleeve, and his left hand holding a steaming piece of raw meat. The blood beads falling along the skin of the meat penetrated half of his trousers. Boss Yu
But he didn't care at all. He stretched out his hand to push away the stunned landlady and walked into the house with big steps.
When the two people passed each other, the landlady obviously smelled a bad smell: "Master, why do you smell like a dead rat? Did you step on something on the road? Take off your clothes quickly and I'll wash them for you."
"Go away!" Boss Yu suddenly said angrily for some reason: "Why are you doing laundry in the middle of the night? Hurry up and get me something to eat."
The landlady responded hurriedly: "Okay..., there are still steamed buns in the pot!"
"Whoever wants to eat steamed buns, go make me some dumplings!" Boss Yu threw the meat in his hand under his wife's feet, folded his hands on his chest and leaned back on the chair.
"Master, why don't you go inside and relax for a while, waiting for the dumplings to be ready..."
Boss Yu sat up suddenly and became furious: "Why is there so much nonsense? Why don't you go quickly!"
Before she could close the door, the proprietress could clearly see a pair of white teeth through the moonlight coming in from outside the door. Boss Yu's face was somehow so dark that it almost blended in with the color of his black clothes.
The exposed teeth were so frighteningly white that they seemed to emit cold light when they opened their mouths.
"I'll go right away, go right away..." The landlady was so frightened that she hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
However, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I suddenly had the courage to look into the hall and saw Boss Yu sitting motionless on the chair as if he was asleep, and I felt a little relieved.
"Master, please wait a moment..."
After a while, the landlady took the opportunity to talk and looked into the hall again. This time she saw Boss Yu taking something out of his sleeve, stuffing it into his mouth and chewing it slowly.
"Master, if you are hungry and there are still a few steamed buns in the pot, you should put them down first..."
Boss Yu didn't speak this time, but just stretched out his hand and waved it. The wife of the boss vaguely saw that a piece of his right hand seemed to be missing. When he wanted to take a closer look, Boss Yu had already retracted his hand into his sleeve.
"Master, master...what's wrong with your hand?"
When the landlady ran from the kitchen into the house, Boss Yu disappeared without a trace, including the chair: "Master, where have you been?"
"I'm here!"
"Ah——" The landlady was startled by the voice coming from behind. When she turned around, she saw the boss squatting on the table like a monkey, looking at her expressionlessly. A pair of wide-eyed eyes with more than nothing in them.
It's not angry at all, but has a metallic sheen.
A liquid that looked like water or blood flowed from between his eyebrows, down the bridge of his nose, and dripped on the front of his clothes. The wet clothes stuck to the boss's body, like they were covered on a washboard.
When I put on the rag, the horizontal bars were clearly raised, and in some places they even sunk a few inches into the chest.
The landlady felt as if her whole body had fallen into water, and a chill passed through her: "Master...you...you..."
"I put something on the beam. If someone comes looking for me in a few days, I'll ask him to go up and take a look." Boss Yu jumped down as if nothing had happened and walked out with big steps.
The landlady was anxious: "Master, where are you going?"
Boss Yu said without looking back: "When you go out to do business, don't forget what I told you."
"Master, you just came back... You haven't eaten the dumplings yet!" The proprietress, who was chasing after her quickly, suddenly heard a click and subconsciously looked down. She saw a piece of meat the size of a palm falling on the ground.
The landlady stopped, staring straight at the piece of white meat. There was a birthmark the size of a copper coin in the middle of the piece of meat. Didn’t the boss also have such a birthmark on his thigh?
