Chapter Thirty-Five
Since he entered the mourning hall, Long Shaohui went up to burn incense and mourn. Shen Bing and I stood behind and bowed, looking up at two portraits hanging on the wall. On the left was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and his expression was very similar to Yaxue. Needless to say, he was Yaxue's bastard father Ling Peiqiang.
Seeing the photo of Yaxue on the right, I felt a little sad. Although I knew she was still alive, she was not a human, but a living corpse! I revealed the truth today, not only to avenge her revenge, but also to the innocent and innocent babies who died in vain, and such an outrageous tragedy will never happen in the future!
There was a middle-aged woman standing in front of the coffin, with a white flower on her chest, a sad face and red and swollen eyes. Without a second glance, you can immediately determine that she is Yaxue's mother. The two look so similar. A woman who is nearly fifty years old is still so beautiful.
A group of men and women wearing mourning clothes were kneeling in front of the spirit. After we worshiped the dead, they cried bitterly. These must be professional "watchers" hired for money, because the Ling family only has Yaxue, and if they don't invite anyone to cry, it will be a mess.
The bodies of the two dead were placed in two constant temperature coffins, with garlands placed on them, and clusters of flowers were piled up in front of the spirit. An oil lamp was lit on the spirit table, and this was the eternal lamp.
The constant temperature coffin is transparent. When I stand at my position, you can basically vaguely see the deceased inside. Wearing a mourning jacket and a white cloth covering our face, it should be that the death is too terrifying and cannot be admired by anyone.
I looked up at the four corners of the roof of the mourning hall, and a white paper lantern was hung on each. Candles were lit inside, emitting a soft red light. A sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth, thinking that there seemed to be nothing in the mourning hall, but there was a mystery in these four lanterns. If you guessed correctly, the lamp holder under the candle was the statue of the Four Spirits.
What are the four spirits? That is the blue dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black twilight, also known as the four symbols!
The Four Spirits are the four guardian gods of Taoism. If they guard the four corners of the mourning hall, they would not dare to enter even the judges. Although this kind of evil deeds is simple, people who do not have a profound Taoist method cannot do it. Because the Tianshi, who has weak skills, cannot invite the four guardian gods at all.
The Four Symbols are very powerful to ward off evil spirits, but the counterattack is to crack it. Among them, there is a black cloth buried in the four directions of Bagua, southeast, west and northeast. This is for blindfolding. It’s that simple. The four spirits are blindfolded. Now that the ghosts come in, no one of the four old men can see them.
"The fragrance is coming, you should leave." Yaxue's mother Yan Ning spoke to drive people away.
Long Shaohui nodded, said a few words of comfort, and waved his hand to ask us to go out together.
But I stood still and felt lucky. Because I had been with Yaxue for so long, it was the first time today that I saw her mother, and I was in such a special environment as a mourning hall. I needed some courage to face her.
Seeing that I didn't move, Shen Bing shook his head at me, meaning that the team leader was calling him away. I winked at her. This was a secret code that had been agreed upon earlier, asking her to cooperate with me and pretend to continue to play the role of a double act. Since Long Shaohui and the others came, neither of us had spoken, including Tan Qing, who kept apologizing to me. I just nodded, maybe he thought I was Shen Bing.
Shen Bing frowned and seemed very embarrassed, but in the end he walked behind me and covered his mouth.
"Aunt, I am Xi Feng." I stared at Yan Ning and finally plucked up the courage to open my mouth.
Yan Ning was stunned for a moment, stared at me for a long time, then nodded and said, "It's you, I've seen your photo." After saying this, his face turned dark: "It's you who killed my daughter. Get out of the mourning hall, I don't want to see you!"
Long Shaohui and the others were also stunned, not knowing that my country bun actually has a connection with Director Ling’s family.
I said solemnly: "Auntie, I know that Yaxue jumped into the lake because of me."
When Yan Ning heard this, his face immediately changed drastically, and he widened his eyes in shock and could not speak for a long time. Not only her, except for Shen Bing, Long Shaohui, Lewei, Tan Qing and Yan Xiang, all had different expressions and reactions, some were surprised, and some were surprised. I saw the fear in Yan Xiang's eyes, which might be my guess, so I took it for granted.
"No, who did you tell me that my daughter jumped into the lake? My daughter died in the fire last night!" Yan Ning shouted, but when she spoke, she didn't dare to look at my eyes, but looked behind me.
I thought to myself that her reaction clearly knew that her daughter was raising the body alive. There was no evidence now and she could not reveal it, so as not to let Long Shaohui get angry and arrest me back to the police station and there was no need to play. I nodded and said, "I heard from others. No matter how I died, in short, I felt very sad and wanted to see her for the last time." As he said that, he took a step forward.
Yan Ning ran over in surprise, stopped in front of the coffin, and said in a panic: "Don't look at my daughter, I want you to get out."
The Director's wife suddenly became very incompetent, which made everyone stunned. If you want to say that Long Shaohui is a character, you come over immediately and frowned and said to me: "Mrs. Ling, don't let you see her daughter. Go out, don't make me embarrassed." His tone of speech was surprisingly relaxed, and he didn't get angry with me, and he might have noticed his image in public.
I looked up at him and said, "If I could let her daughter speak out by herself how she died, would it be a difficult situation for you?"
Long Shaohui was stunned. First, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he blinked at me when he saw my calm eyes. I understood it and he had acquiesced.
"Boy, you'd better stop making trouble. With Master Yan Xiang here, do you still dare to show off your axe and let the corpse speak?" Tan Qing said behind me, "The old man is reminding me."
Yan Xiang looked behind me coldly and said, "Mr. Tan has raised me up. You must know that there are mountains outside the mountain and people outside. This young man may not be much worse than me. I only know that the evil ghost will come back tonight. As for whether he can speak, it is very lingering."
Since he mentioned Huisha Ghost, I will explain this term. In our business, we call the dead in vain. When the ghost leaves, it is called "英英". When I come back the day before the funeral, it is called "英英"! The Huisha Ghost I have always mentioned refers to the dead souls of the two dead. Because the two corpses will be cremated tomorrow and then put into an urn, it is equivalent to the funeral. Therefore, at midnight tonight, the dead soul will definitely come back to see them and call them Huisha Ghost!
"You Master Yan is famous in the provincial capital, so you don't have to be humble. I only know that Huisha cannot speak, so I advise this kid not to cause trouble. Besides, Huisha is not 100% possible. Some may have passed the Naihe Bridge earlier, and the first seventh one cannot go back..."
Tan Qing was just talking when suddenly a storm blew up in the mourning hall, and the elegy couplets and garlands were blown to make a sound. The four lanterns on the roof shook slightly, and the candlelight flashed, making people feel a strange aura in their hearts. Tan Qing immediately stopped.
Everyone looked up and looked around. Needless to say, outsiders could see that the door was heading south and the wind came from the east. It was probably a matter of 10*** to be back!
