I see ghosts every day I open my eyes
Chapter 8 Night 2 (1)
Unexpectedly, things suddenly turned around, and Zhou Jin was relieved.Unexpectedly, this sick old master Chen helped out at the critical moment.
Xiuhe walked up to the crowd and looked around.He said softly: "Master said, since Liu's family is going to open the coffin, and the police station is also going to open the coffin, let's do it. But there is one thing you must agree to."
"Please tell me." Duan Yucheng looked at the maid and said.
"This is the opening of the coffin. No matter what the result is, no one is allowed to disclose the news here." When Xiuhe spoke, there was no other expression on her face, she just repeated Master Chen's words sternly.
Looking at Xiuhe's appearance, Zhou Jin felt something was wrong.When I saw this servant girl before, although she looked haggard, her eyes were full of spirit, and she was not the lifeless look in front of her at all.But at the moment, the matter of opening the coffin is the most important thing, and everything else must be put aside and cannot be delved into.
Young Master Liu, Duan Yucheng and Zhou Jin looked at each other and nodded, "Okay."
"In addition, the master has another request."
The three of them looked at Xiuhe again when they heard the words, and saw Xiuhe continue to say coldly: "Miss is indeed dead. Since the police station sent someone to investigate, then make a three-day agreement. Within three days, if the investigation If you don’t find the real culprit, then please ask Inspector Duan to go back and close the case as if there is no such thing. Otherwise, Inspector Duan please go back now.”
"Three days? Since Master Chen also agreed to investigate the case, why did he make a three-day agreement?" Duan Yucheng stared at Xiuhe and said softly.
"The Chen family is a well-known family. It cannot be ruined by one person. Besides, it is not our Chen family who reported the crime. It's just that the master has lost his beloved daughter and hopes to catch the real culprit. Before the first seven, if the murderer cannot be caught, This matter will be a final conclusion. After all this is said, will Detective Duan agree or not?"
When Xiuhe said this, her eyes met Duan Yu's. Those eyes were as dark as an ancient well, and she couldn't see to the bottom.
"Okay." Duan Yucheng was silent for a moment, and then agreed.
"Then I'll go and answer the master right now." After speaking, he saluted Duan Yucheng and the others, then turned and left.
"Xiu He." Seeing Xiu He left, my uncle wanted to call someone to stop him, but was dragged by Mrs. Chen beside him.
"Now that we've made a deal, let's open the coffin tonight." Zhou Jin reminded softly beside him, "The sun is too strong during the day, which will damage the corpse."
Only then did everyone realize that the east is now white, and the rising sun is shining with golden light, illuminating the outside of the hall.The paper money around was still flying around, and suddenly there was a strange noise in the hall, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look.The virgin who was originally standing beside the incense table suddenly fell down and fell headlong into the brazier. The flames shot up and burned half of the virgin's face in an instant.
The miserable white face was suddenly blackened by Huoliao's distortion, looking very wicked.
"Quickly put out the fire!" Mrs. Chen said hastily.
Several servants hurried forward and put out the fire.And the virgin's head happened to be burned off, and it stopped at the neck, looking as if her head had been beheaded.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with different expressions.
As soon as night fell, Chen's house fell into a dead silence.
The three of Duan Yucheng stood in the mourning hall and offered incense to Miss Chen together.
"Open the coffin." Duan Yucheng looked at the coffin and whispered.
When the coffin was opened, both Young Master Liu and Zhou Jin stood beside Duan Yucheng, not intending to do anything at all.Duan Yucheng glanced at them both, "Are you not moving?"
Zhou Jin raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "Inspector Duan, you are more suitable than us for the opening of the coffin."
"why?"
Duan Yucheng looked at him with a calm tone.
"Among the three of us, only you are a policeman. The police station itself has a lot of blood, and the ghosts are afraid of these things. In addition to the thing pinned to your waist, no ghosts dare to approach you. So the task of opening the coffin , it's better for you to come."
Duan Yucheng glanced at him, didn't say much, put his hands on the head of the coffin, and was about to push it away, but Zhou Jin stopped him again.
"Don't worry."
Zhou Jin took out a wooden box the size of a silver dollar, dipped some green ointment from it, first applied some on the tip of his nose, and then stretched it out in front of Duan Yucheng, motioning him to do the same.Although Duan Yucheng didn't understand what Zhou Jin meant, he felt that this old man would not harm him, so he put a little bit of it on the tip of his nose.I felt a burst of cool mint aroma from the tip of my nose.Zhou Jin handed the things to Mr. Liu again, and motioned him to wipe them too.
"This is to prevent corpses." Zhou Jin explained, and then looked at Duan Yucheng: "Let's go."
Duan Yucheng was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had become the younger brother ordered by others.Then he glanced at Zhou Jin, stretched out his hand and pushed open the coffin lid.
The moment the coffin lid was opened, Duan Yucheng felt an unpleasant corpse smell mixed with spices rushing up. Fortunately, Zhou Jin's ointment had been applied before, otherwise it would have been unbearable.
The three of them slowed down for a moment, then lowered their heads and looked into the coffin.
I saw a young girl in a red dress lying quietly in a coffin wrapped in white silk.The woman had a pretty face, with crescent eyebrows and her eyes closed tightly.The jet-black hair was combed extremely brightly, with a phoenix-shaped golden stepper inserted on it, and three gold tassels adorning it below.The lips were slightly red, and the face was smeared like a layer of white putty, which looked very pervasive.I saw her hands folded obediently in front of her chest, and her ten fingers were still painted with bright red nail polish.
"It's a pity." Zhou Jin sighed softly.
Duan Yucheng glanced at him and said nothing.
But Mr. Liu was sad and silent.Unexpectedly, the first time I saw my unmarried wife was in the coffin, it was really embarrassing.
"My condolences, Mr. Liu." Zhou Jin patted Young Master Liu on the shoulder to comfort him.
After all, Mr. Liu saw the corpse for the first time, and it was his unmarried wife. He seemed a bit unacceptable. He said, look, I was guarding outside, and ran out.
Zhou Jin glanced at him, and when he turned his head again, Duan Yucheng had already reached out to check Miss Chen's body.I saw that he came out of nowhere with a snow-white glove, put it on his hand, gently stroked Miss Chen's cheek, and watched carefully.
As soon as Duan Yucheng's fingers touched Chen Liyuan's neck lightly, he saw Chen Liyuan's head drooping to the side immediately, and his neck twisted into a weird posture, bent almost against his shoulders, without any support.
"Her neck is broken."
"Huh?" Zhou Jin hurriedly posted beside Duan Yucheng upon hearing that.
Duan Yucheng stretched out two fingers and touched Chen Liyuan's bent neck, "The neck of a dead person should be stiff, but her neck can be bent like this. Maybe this is the cause of her death."
"People from the Chen family said that she hanged herself. Is it possible that she was strangled by a hanging rope?" Zhou Jin swallowed, loosened his tense throat, and asked in a low voice.
"It's possible." Duan Yucheng gently poked Chen Liyuan's neck with his fingertips again, and found that there was an obvious trace of a rope being strangled underneath, and the color had turned black.
Duan Yucheng stretched out his hand to open Chen Liyuan's eyes, mouth and nose again.
"She has a wound in her mouth."
"In the mouth?" Zhou Jin froze for a moment.
I saw Duan Yucheng gently parting Miss Chen's lips with his fingers, there were obviously some blood spots and wounds inside.
"It seems to have been stabbed by something long and thin."
Then Duan Yucheng took Chen Liyuan's hand again and watched carefully.Chen Liyuan's hands were very fair and slender, with long nails and bright nail polish on them.
"Look." Duan Yucheng said suddenly.
Zhou Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Her nails are broken." Duan Yucheng pointed at Chen Liyuan's finger for Zhou Jin to look at.
Zhou Jin subconsciously moved closer to Duan Yucheng, and then lowered his head to look.Indeed, as Duan Yucheng said, the nails on Chen Liyuan's left and right hands showed signs of being broken by external forces, and two of them were turned upside down, making her scalp numb just looking at them.
"Such a strong force?" Zhou Jin said in surprise.
Duan Yucheng didn't speak, and continued to push apart Chen Liyuan's nails, and found some dirt inside.
"It seems that she grabbed it on the ground before she was alive." Duan Yucheng looked at Zhou Jin calmly and said.
"No, I have to use a charm to depress her tongue quickly, otherwise Miss Chen will be turned into a murderous corpse." After speaking, he took out his ghost painting talisman from his bosom, and was about to put it in Miss Chen's mouth.
Duan Yucheng grabbed Zhou Jin's wrist, and stared at Zhou Jin closely, "Don't get in the way. Your way of deceiving the Chen family is okay, let me save it."
Zhou Jin's eyes widened slightly, and the smile on his face faded, "Inspector Duan, you investigate your case and I do my own thing. I don't hinder you, and you don't hinder me either. As the saying goes, a thousand friends are few." , more than one enemy. In this Chen residence, if you want to solve this case, you can't do it without me."
Duan Yucheng looked at the handsome little old man in front of him, and the expression on his face became serious, "What do you mean?"
"I can cooperate with you, you are in the light, and I am in the dark."
Duan Yucheng looked at Zhou Jin silently, thought for a while, then slowly released Zhou Jin's hand, and watched him stuff the yellow talisman into Miss Chen's mouth.
Zhou Jin was silent for a moment, then raised his head, "Why don't we find Miss Chen's soul and see what's going on."
Xiuhe walked up to the crowd and looked around.He said softly: "Master said, since Liu's family is going to open the coffin, and the police station is also going to open the coffin, let's do it. But there is one thing you must agree to."
"Please tell me." Duan Yucheng looked at the maid and said.
