Unexpectedly, this group of people from the Pagoda Cemetery would be involved in the matter behind the female corpse.
After the female body was recovered, I had nothing to worry about.
All I know is that the female body was burned after being left there for seven days.
I don't know when the ashes were taken away.
What she didn't expect was that the person who killed her would be her colleague.
Because it was my first mission to recover the female body, I still wanted to know more about what happened behind it.
He continued to ask:
"Uncle Liu, what happened to the female corpse and her female colleague before she was alive? Why did her female colleague harm her like this?"
Uncle Liu showed a wry smile:
"Steal the man."
"Steal a man?"
"Well, the female corpse was a colleague and love rival of another woman before she died.
So I had murderous intentions, but I was afraid of leaving evidence behind.
I don’t know how I got in touch with the middle-aged Taoist priest you mentioned, and obtained a spell, which led to tragedy."
While talking, Uncle Liu lit another cigarette for himself.
I frowned and continued to ask:
"Uncle Liu, how about this woman now?"
Uncle Liu blew out smoke:
"What else can I do? I have been haunted by the ghost of the female corpse for several days, and I am still lying half-dead in the hospital. I think this is the end of my life.
It just so happens that the ghost of the female corpse is also in our museum and will be sent away together tomorrow."
"Also in our hotel?"
I was surprised.
Uncle Liu seemed very calm:
"Why are you so surprised? You and Huang Mao are not the only ones working in our library. Everyone has a mission and should perform their duties."
I see.
The seemingly peaceful funeral home looks like everyone is secretly busy.
It’s just that Huang Mao and I didn’t notice it.
After taking a breath, he spoke again:
"Uncle Liu, what should I do with this Taoist Master?"
Uncle Liu waved his hand:
"You don't have to worry about this, it's not something you can handle.
Go collect your debts and try to complete the task tonight.
The library will handle other matters."
While talking, Uncle Liu had already left the office with his mobile phone and a cigarette in his mouth.
After a while, Uncle Liu's voice was heard outside:
"Director, Li Xu and Huang Xiaolong came back from debt collection last night and got a big news about Chief Zhi..."
The sound gradually faded away and became silent after a while.
At the same time, Huang Mao came in from outside:
"Brother Xu, I just heard Uncle Liu call and mention Chief Zhi. Have you told Uncle Liu everything about yesterday?"
"Yes, I said it! This paper director has something to do with the first female corpse I recovered. Uncle Liu is reporting to the curator."
I briefly told Huang Mao and asked him.
In addition to confining ghosts in the morgue, are there other places in our museum that can also confine ghosts?
After all, Uncle Liu said that the ghost of the female corpse is in the museum.
But these days, we don't notice it at all, so I asked this question.
Huang Mao was stunned for a moment:
"I don't know much about this, but I know there seems to be a negative floor below the cafeteria.
If there's any room where ghosts are kept, that's probably it!"
I really don’t know this, so I touched my chin.
It seems that there are many more secrets in the funeral home.
What I understand now is just a simple staff structure.
We still know too little about how it works, its business distribution, etc.
Huang Mao and I chatted for a while in the office, and then started discussing tonight's work.
Now there is only the last debtor left, Cheng Zhuang.
This guy's cemetery is in the southern suburbs of the city, which is a bit remote.
The two of us made detailed arrangements for departure time, route, various details, etc.
If we don't get this done, we will be expelled automatically tomorrow.
This is something neither Huang Mao nor I want to see.
If you stay, you will not only get a high salary, but you will also learn real skills.
This is our current common goal and motivation.
In the afternoon, the two of us went to the morgue, met Li Hefei and Liu Jiajia, and burned some incense for Li Hefei.
I relayed Uncle Liu's words to him.
After hearing this, Li Hefei was a little disappointed.
But after hearing that we had secured a love talisman for him, which would exempt him from the additional culpability of staying in the human world for these long periods of time, he also expressed his gratitude.
After hearing this, Liu Jiajia, the female ghost opposite, also wanted to ask for one and asked Huang Mao and I to intercede with her.
In the end, the two of us didn't care about her at all.
Li Hefei had his original intention, and Liu Jiajia deserved it.
After we came out, Huang Mao and I went to the front desk to hand in the debt notes for Li Hefei and Liu Jiajia.
Zhuangsha must have won the game and was in a good mood.
She also said that the day after tomorrow was her birthday and asked Huang Mao and me to attend.
Don't fail to complete the task and you will be fired tomorrow morning...
I smiled and agreed, saying no.
Huang Mao also patted his chest and promised to complete the task and eat Zhuang Sha's birthday cake.
The two of us came out of the office hall, it was already evening, and went to the cafeteria.
Grandma Mute made braised pork tonight, it was super fragrant and delicious.
By the time we left the cafeteria after eating, it was already dark.
But at this moment, I saw the blind old man holding a wine gourd walking towards me.
The blind man is really blind, but he walks without a cane.
And this was also the first time I saw the blind man so early.
Before Huang Mao and I could say hello, the blind man sniffed and smiled at Huang Mao and me:
"Hey! It's Xiao Huangmao and Xiao Xu!"
"Hey! Blind uncle."
"Blind man."
We both responded one after another.
The blind old man walked over directly with his two white eyes open. It was impossible to tell that he was really blind.
"Are you two going on another mission tonight?"
"Yes, go after the ghost debt."
I responded with a smile.
The blind uncle burped:
"That's a small problem, but you two have to be careful.
Most of these debtors are not good people.
There are also people who kill debt collectors.
The uncle drank your wine last time and said he wanted to teach you two tricks, but he was never free.
In this way, I had nothing to do last night and made two grasshoppers out of grass. You can take them with you. They may be of some use at critical moments."
After saying that, the little old man took out two woven grasshoppers from his pocket.
Huang Mao and I were doubtful, so the two grasshoppers took it from our hands.
I took it in my hand and took a look at it. I found that this grasshopper was very good at weaving.
They have wings, legs, and eyes, but there's not much difference between them.
It doesn't feel very different from the braided grasshoppers sold in tourist areas.
However, everyone in this library cannot be underestimated.
This blind man who works the night shift is definitely not a bad character.
He said that if this thing is useful, there must be something extraordinary about it.
I keep it carefully:
"Thank you, Mr. Blind, but how should I use this grasshopper?"
"Yes, Mr. Blind, is it true? Can this thing ward off evil spirits?"
The blind old man rolled his two broken eyes and showed a very confident expression:
"The things I made up are more alive than life, and more real than reality.
Let alone exorcism, even killing ghosts and zombies is a piece of cake.
The usage is very simple, just press a grain of grain into the grasshopper's head.
Just make a spell-casting trick that is as urgent as a command, it is very simple..."
