Chapter 316 Leather Jacket Man

Malu drove to the place Laohei mentioned, which was a funeral home located on the outskirts of the city.

It is now past 11 o'clock in the evening and the funeral home has closed for a long time. It is no longer as bustling as it was during the day and seems very quiet in the dark night.

However, through the gate, you can see sporadic light coming from inside, and it is obvious that there is still someone on duty.

And just before Malu and his group arrived, a dark blue car drove in. It should be transporting a corpse. The fare for a corpse transported after get off work would be 50% higher than that during the day.

However, external vehicles obviously cannot enter.

Malu dialed the number Lao Hei gave him. About ten minutes later, a man in his 40s wearing a brown leather jacket walked out of the door.

He looked at the millipede and the wandering sorcerer with a vigilant gaze, then glanced around to make sure there was no one else around before lowering his voice and asking, "Where's the body?"

"In the trunk." Malu said as he opened the trunk of the ES8.

The scene inside startled the man in leather jacket.

I saw something wrapped in tinfoil, so tangled up that it was unrecognizable, leaning against the folded back seat.

"Why are you wrapping it in so much tin foil? Are you planning to marinate it and put it in the oven?"

"This is my new car, brother."

In order to prevent the blood from getting on his newly bought car, Malu tried his best, but the materials at hand were really limited.

Unable to find a body bag or even a large plastic bag, he had to make do with the local conditions and wrap the body in a few boxes of tin foil left in the car.

Malu then handed over a plastic bag, "Here."

Because it was very dark, the man in the leather jacket couldn't tell what was inside at first. It was only until he took it in his hand that he realized it was a head.

I couldn't help but be surprised again, "Your car is quite big, why do you pack it separately?"

"Didn't I tell you that we were attacked on the road and Mr. Zheng lost his head."

"Where's Lao Hei?"

"He was also in that pile of tinfoil. He looked very weak. On the way, I asked him what song he wanted to listen to but he didn't answer me."

"It must be because it hasn't had nutrients for too long. Take this corpse and follow me." said the man in leather jacket.

"Okay." Although Malu said this, he didn't move. He looked at the duty booth not far away.

As if knowing what he was thinking, the leather jacket man said, "Don't worry, we are one family, I have the final say here."

Then the two men took action and each lifted one end of the corpse.

The sorceress was not very interested in helping the parasite change its body, so she chose to stay in the car and continue to enjoy the massage and heating. Millipede followed the man in leather jacket, and the two of them crossed a small square, walked along the corridor next to it, and finally walked to the outside of a small house.

The man in leather jacket opened the door and saw more than twenty stainless steel cabinets inside with numbers on them. It looked like this should be the morgue.

However, the man in leather jacket did not stop, but continued to walk forward. When he came to a cabinet, he motioned Malu to put the body on the ground first. He went over and moved the cabinet away, revealing a small door at the back.

The millipede uttered a slight exclamation.

The leather jacket man said proudly, "In fact, the bodies in the morgue are basically unmovable, because the family members have to say goodbye to the bodies before cremation, so the bodies I really collect are cremated bodies.

"It's safest to switch the bodies before putting them into the crematorium. I've installed a mechanism on the crematorium. When the time comes, I'll use bones similar to those of cows and sheep to replace the bodies that were originally burned. After all, even the closest people won't be able to recognize the bodies after they're burned to ashes."

Malu said with a tut, "This is too despicable. During festivals, people come to worship their loved ones and express their grief. The food they offer and the paper money they burn are all just for free to the cattle and sheep."

When he thought of the widows crying over a box of sheep bone powder, the children calling "dad" over cow bone powder, and the younger generations using beef jerky to commemorate the cattle that died in the slaughterhouse, Malu's expression became strange.

The leather jacket man was still confident, "No one will really open the box anyway, so it doesn't matter what's in the box. Even if it's real, they still won't get the paper money and food. Besides, after a while, when the body can't be used anymore, we will quietly replace the ashes."

"Really?" Malu asked suspiciously.

"Well... I'll change it occasionally when I'm in a good mood. After all, it's troublesome to go back and forth to dig holes and fill them up. In the final analysis, as long as no one talks about this kind of thing, it won't have any impact. Besides, our cemetery is cheaper than other cemeteries, and we've already paid for the corpses."

"Besides, the government has been advocating a low-carbon economy and internal circulation for a long time. We are also responding to the country's call."

"The internal circulation doesn't mean you can circulate corpses," Malu looked at the man in leather jacket, "Come to think of it, you are also a corpse parasite, so you opened this funeral home just to have corpses?"

To his surprise, the leather-jacketed man shook his head and said, "I'm not a corpse parasite. Although corpse parasites can repair corpses and restore basic functions to a certain extent, a corpse in particularly good condition can only be used by a corpse parasite for three or four years at most. If I keep changing my identity, I won't be able to run a decent business."

"As for the boss, strictly speaking I'm just one of the partners. There's another big boss above me, but he has many businesses, and the funeral home is just one of them. He doesn't come here more than twice a year, so he leaves this place to me."

As the man in leather jacket spoke, he lifted up Uncle Zheng's body and walked into the small door.

Millipede followed behind him. The layout inside was actually similar to that outside, except that the area was smaller, less than half the size. There were only a dozen stainless steel cabinets, and there were two small tables.

The man in leather jacket lifted the body onto one of the tables and peeled off the layers of tinfoil wrapped around it.

Then he picked up the notebook on another table and flipped through two pages. "Let me see... There was a girl who was cremated yesterday afternoon. She was only 19 years old. It was said that she jumped into the river because of relationship problems. The body was well preserved. I kept it. It's a good thing for Lao Hei."

"Wait, there's no problem for women too?" Malu said.

"What's the problem? The parasite group has no gender distinction. Lao Hei used to work as a hostess for two years, and was active in various nightclubs in City B.

"I also went to sing with him before, and he generously let me touch his thigh, and he didn't charge me. At that time, I felt that he was a good friend. It was because of this friendship that when he said he was in trouble and was being hunted, I found a corpse that had not been cremated and lent it to him for emergency use without hesitation.

“But I didn’t expect that he would break it to this extent.” The man in leather jacket sighed as he looked at the headless corpse on the table.
