Chapter 7 I thought you wouldn't be afraid!

"call"

In the simple house, Wang Yuanjing slowly exhaled a breath, and the fatigue brought by being entangled by the three corpses in his dream was swept away.

"How wonderful!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder so many people are obsessed with spiritual practice and even reach a state of selflessness.

Wang Yuanjing, who had only just begun to get a glimpse of this path, could feel the mystery involved. Let alone the daily practice of entering into a state of meditation and concentrating Qi.

This lingering feeling of tipsiness is enough to make people intoxicated.

He got up from the bed, looked at himself in the mirror, and let out a long sigh.

"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll become a tuberculosis patient like my brother."

The spiritual damage caused by the invasion of the Three Corpse Gods in the dream can be compensated by meditation and refining Qi, but the dark circles under the eyes have become more and more serious.

Because life in the remote funeral park was inconvenient, Tu Junfang had to run to a town more than ten kilometers away to buy oranges. So for convenience, Wang Yuanjing cut his hair into a buzz cut early on.

It is said that a buzz cut is the best way to test a man’s appearance.

The original body was undoubtedly born with a good appearance, with strong facial features and slightly raised eyebrows with a hint of heroic spirit. Even his untidy hairstyle did not affect his appearance at all.

unfortunately
The pale skin and thick dark circles under the eyes undoubtedly destroyed this beauty, making Wang Yuanjing look a little sick.

"Even if it's just for this face, I have to solve the problem of the three corpses."

Wang Yuanjing clenched the toothpaste in his hand and squeezed it onto the toothbrush. Just as he was about to wash up, a low voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come out and help."

It was Tu Junfang knocking on the door outside.

Wang Yuanjing was slightly stunned.

He had been here for so long, but this was the first time he heard Tu Junfang asking him for help.

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

Wang Yuanjing put the toothbrush in his hand on the table and opened the door.

"Come and live."

In front of the funeral home, in the open space where Wang Yuanjing usually practiced.

In addition to Tu Junfang, there were two other people on the open space, one was the day-shift security guard of the park and a stranger. There was a stretcher on the ground, covered with a white cloth, and judging from the outline, it should be a person.

Wang Yuanjing looked a little ugly at this time.

He lifted the white cloth out of curiosity just now, and no one stopped him. Just one glance and he almost vomited stomach acid.

The white cloth covered a corpse that had been dead for who knows how long. When the cloth was lifted, a strong smell of rotting protein hit the face.

Due to the formation of gigantism caused by corruption and bloating, the stretcher has become somewhat out of shape.

Wang Yuanjing only saw a head. The corpse had a hideous face and turned outward lips, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"sorry to bother you."

The stranger was a middle-aged man, and judging from his accent, he should be a local.

At this moment, he seemed a little restless and seemed to want to leave very urgently.

Tu Junfang glanced at the embarrassed Wang Yuanjing, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Boy, I thought you wouldn't be scared!

"Okay, leave it here and come back this afternoon."

Tu Junfang said to the middle-aged man expressionlessly.

After hearing Tu Junfang's words, the latter's expression finally relaxed, and then he fled away.

"Then I'll leave first."

When the day shift security guard saw the middle-aged man leave, he returned to his security room.

Only Tu Junfang and Wang Yuanjing were left at the scene.

"Please lend a hand."

Tu Junfang glanced at Wang Yuanjing and said.

"Don't bump it, otherwise it will damage your karma." The two of them carried the body to the morgue together. Not sure whether Tu Junfang did it on purpose, but he specifically chose the end close to the legs.

Wang Yuanjing had no choice but to choose the other end.

Looking at the outline of the head covered by the white cloth and the foul smell coming from his nose, Wang Yuanjing's face looked a little ugly.

The distance from the open space to the morgue was not long, but Wang Yuanjing felt that time was passing extremely slowly.

After Tu Junfang and I finally carried the body to the morgue,
"I'll start the machine, you keep an eye on him."

Tu Junfang said.

Since there are not many "guests" on weekdays, the crematorium machine is only turned on once in a long time. Tu Junfang fiddled with it for a long time before he could restart it.

Wang Yuanjing had no choice but to stay with this "guest" for a while longer.

When the rumbling sound came out of the machine, Wang Yuanjing finally came to his senses. He suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Brother, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Wang Yuanjing asked.

"Oh? Tell me."

Tu Junfang looked at the other person with interest.

"Let's not talk about the corpse first. Even though I'm not a professional, I know that the way this person died is wrong."

"The behavior of the person who brought the body here is also very strange. Logically, since he sent the body to the funeral home for cremation, he should be a relative of the deceased."

"But he chose to deliver the body alone, without even a coffin or a stretcher, and he chose this time specifically."

It was just daybreak at this time. The funeral home was far away from the city and the road was difficult to travel on. The man must have set out before daybreak to arrive at the funeral park at this time.

"In short, there must be something wrong here."

Wang Yuanjing concluded.

It's so suspicious, there are problems everywhere.

"He should be here for cremation certificate."

Tu Junfang replied.

Cremation certificate?

Wang Yuanjing was stunned.

"I heard from Old Sun that the city issued a notice some time ago that the body must be cremated and the death certificate can only be processed after obtaining the cremation certificate from the funeral home."

"The locals believe that fallen leaves return to their roots and rest in peace. That guy must have fished out a corpse from the water and sent it over to replace him, right?"

Tu Junfang casually guessed that Lao Sun was the security guard on the day shift.

Then he sighed, thinking that he would not have a leisurely life in the days ahead.

As the saying goes, there is a countermeasure for every policy. With the people who have taken the lead, I believe that there will be more and more situations like this in the future.

"Fished?"

Wang Yuanjing frowned.

"Don't forget where this is."

Tu Junfang glanced at him and then gave a reminder.

Wang Yuanjing suddenly realized. He remembered that he seemed to have heard Tu Junfang say before that this city was located at the estuary and that water from several large rivers flowed here.

Inevitably, dead bodies will be washed here by the current.

In the past, there were corpse lifters who specialized in handling these corpses, but now there are fewer people willing to do this job. Most of the corpses drift in the water for a while, and almost always end up being eaten by fish.

If you're willing to look for it, maybe you can actually find one.

just
"How do you know for sure it was fished out of the river?"

Wang Yuanjing asked doubtfully.

Obviously the person who brought the body was not a fool. He cleaned it before bringing it over. At least Wang Yuanjing didn't find any water traces.

Tu Junfang nodded.

"I was just about to talk to you about this issue. This is also related to your next practice."
