"This isn't boring, just come over and see what's going on."
"It's true that you brought a girl to a place like this." Brother Li looked at Diana with some dissatisfaction with Fang Ze in his words. After all, whether it is a case or a mourning hall, it is indeed not suitable for children to hear and see.
"Why can't I come?" Diana raised her hand and asked after hearing what Brother Li said.
"Because you are still young." Brother Li looked at Diana with a smile and said, "When you grow up, you can come to a place like this."
"I'm not young." Diana said to Brother Li, "I will be trained to be a warrior in a while."
"Warrior?" Hearing Diana's words, he was instantly stunned. What kind of warrior should such a big brat be training
At this time, Fang Ze quickly intervened and changed the topic. He pointed in the direction of the mourning hall and said to Brother Li, "Didn't you say that the body can't be found? Why are you still here?"
"We have searched other places, but now only the coffin in the mourning hall has not been searched. We guess that if the other party really did not use any magic to make the body disappear, then the body must be hidden in the coffin."
"Then why don't you search it?" Fang Ze asked.
"Who dares to search?" Brother Li said with a wry smile to Fang Ze, "We have investigated and found that there is only one ventilation duct behind the mourning hall, but in front of the mourning hall, before the suspect came back, a spiritual tent was set up and someone was guarding it day and night."
"So even if the suspect wants to hide the body in the coffin, he still has to convince the relatives and friends who are guarding him in front of the mourning hall. This is unlikely. After all, we are in a rural area and there is no way for him to be so messy."
After listening to Brother Li's words, Fang Ze suddenly knew where the most troublesome thing was now. The police have no evidence that the suspect hid the body in the museum, so they dare not open the coffin for inspection.
Otherwise, if the family members get into trouble, something will happen. As soon as the news media reported it, the superiors conducted a thorough investigation, but a large number of police officers involved would be eliminated.
No leader dared to approve it.
"It seems that these are not ethnic people. Aren't we going to be cremated now? When we go to the crematorium tomorrow and the bodies are taken out of the coffins, won't it be clear?"
"So aren't we just waiting here?" Brother Li said to Fang Ze, "We are going to follow them to the crematorium tomorrow, but we are afraid that they will bribe the people at the crematorium and burn the corpses together. There is absolutely no evidence.”
Brother Li's worries are indeed reasonable, but in fact, although the possibility is there, it is not very likely.
The place where corpses are burned and the place where funerary objects are burned are separate in the crematorium. Unless the suspect is crazy, it is absolutely impossible for the suspect to let the body of the person he killed be burned together with his mother.
So the most likely possibility is that in the crematorium, the body of the person who was killed was transported along with the coffin to another incinerator for incineration. At this time, the police can definitely inspect it.
It seems that my visit was in vain. Either the suspect will be discovered after smuggling the body out tonight, or he will be discovered tomorrow when the coffin is burned in the crematorium.
But now that he's here, Fang Ze still wants to see if he can solve the mystery in advance and find out how this person transported the body into the coffin.
In other words, the body was really hidden using some black technology method.
Fang Ze thought of this, so he patted Brother Li and asked, "What's the suspect's name? Brother Li."
"My name is Liu Shan." Brother Li looked at Fang Ze and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll go out and wander around first." Fang Ze said and took Diana out of the police car. Brother Li looked at Fang Ze who walked out and felt something was wrong, so he opened the window and shouted to Fang Ze , "You kid, stop messing around."
"I know." Fang Ze waved his hand, indicating to Brother Li not to worry.
Fang Ze led Diana across the crowd of people eating and walked to the front of the spiritual tent.
An old man in his 80s was sitting there, wondering what he was thinking. He saw the unfamiliar face Fang Ze coming over and asked Fang Ze, "Later, where are you from?"
"Grandpa." Fang Ze called politely and said to the old man, "I am Liu Shan's friend, and I came here to attend the funeral."
"Shanwa's friend." The old man looked at Fang Ze and said, "No wonder he is so handsome."
"Grandpa, can I go in and pay my respects?" Fang Ze asked the old man, pointing to the mourning hall.
"Okay, okay." The old man agreed happily, and then said to Fang Ze, "Shanwazi is also inside, you can go and accompany him. Shanwazi is a filial child. He stayed in the mourning hall all night the day before yesterday. We have stayed close to each other these two days, so be filial!”
"Yeah." Fang Ze looked at the old man and nodded, and then asked, "By the way, grandpa, what do you call me?"
"You can call me Uncle Qi just like Shan Wazi." Uncle Qi said.
After knowing the old man's name, Fang Ze and Diana entered the mourning hall. There was only one person in the mourning hall. Because the refrigeration equipment was turned on, the whole room was freezing, so most people were outside. A man with dark skin and an iron tower shape was kneeling in front of the coffin, wondering what he was thinking.
This should be Liu Shan.
Liu Shan heard someone coming in, turned his head and saw that a young man came in with a little girl, so he asked, "Who are you?"
"It's Brother Shan." Fang Ze said enthusiastically, "I am the distant grandson of Uncle Seventh."
"Oh." When Liu Shan heard what Fang Ze said, he stopped asking any more questions. After all, relationships in rural areas are complicated, and many people are related to each other. It is normal for some relatives to have never been seen before.
This is not an exaggeration. In many rural areas or county towns, when two strangers sit together and chat, they will find that they are related to each other.
After all, in the past, in rural families, girls usually did not marry too far away. In the end, relatives set up relatives, and everyone became relatives.
Liu Shan continued to kneel in front of the coffin without speaking, while Fang Ze was thinking about what the seventh uncle said just now.
I stayed in the mourning hall all night the day before yesterday.
The mourning hall is so cold that most people would not choose to stay in the mourning hall. It was very likely that Liu Shan was the only one that night. In other words, the body was probably brought in from outside the night Liu Shan stayed in the mourning hall.
but.
Fang Ze looked at the mourning hall and saw that there were no other exits except the main door.
Outside the gate was the spiritual tent, which was guarded all night long. It was impossible for Liu Shan to avoid the spiritual tent and transport the body in.
Because it is summer, although it is cool at night in the spiritual tent, there are many mosquitoes, making it difficult for people to sleep soundly. Someone may get up at any time in the middle of the night.
Liu Shan would not take the risk of being stabbed in the back by the whole village and bring the body in.
So, how did the body get in
Fang Ze looked up at the ventilation ducts in the mourning hall.
