Mystery Leaks

Chapter 3
What the hell is a red doll, ghost?But do ghosts have a scent?Is there a physical touch?
I don't know, but the red doll is definitely not human, because I didn't feel her breath or heartbeat last night.

I stayed where I was for a while, not knowing what to do. The hot sun shone on my body, but there was no temperature at all, and my body felt cold.

Before, Chen Laogen said to help me find a way, and the red doll really has no signs of harming me, so there is still a turning point.

Now as soon as Chen Laogen left, there would be no turning point. I was alone and didn't understand anything. Seeing that Chen Laogen was running away from me as if fleeing for his life, this was not an ordinary danger.

"What should I do?" I returned to the shop in a state of anxiety, feeling uneasy in my heart.

At this moment, my mobile phone vibrated suddenly, it was an unfamiliar number.

Press the answer button and ask on the other side: "Meng Lei?"

I jumped up from the chair, it was Chen Laogen, "Damn, why did you run away?"

"If I don't run, I will die!" Chen Laogen said something that made my heart tremble even more.

"Then what should I do, run too?" I couldn't sit still.

"You must not run!" Chen Laogen raised his voice several times, and said, "Calm down first, and talk about what happened last night."

I hastily said yes, and then described what happened last night in detail, without hiding anything, for fear of missing details.

Chen Laogen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said: "The situation is better than expected. Listen, some inexplicable things have appeared in our village recently, which is very dangerous. Try to stay overnight in the store at night, don't go out, let alone Go to the mountains; let me know immediately if there is anything unusual."

"Then... what about the doll in red?" I felt relieved, fortunately, Chen Laogen just wanted to get out of danger and didn't abandon me.

"She's not in danger to you for the time being, just don't provoke her. Right now, I can only walk for a while and watch for a while; remember what I said, try not to go out at night, especially in the mountains." Know what you're doing.

Putting down the phone, I was even more surprised, because Chen Laogen said that some inexplicable things appeared in the village; pay attention to the key points, not one, but some.

Is the red doll just one of them?Anything else?
And he repeatedly told me not to go to the mountains, as if the mountains were particularly dangerous.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the situation of Jinpen Township. Jinpen Township is called a township, but it is actually a larger village with a radius of only ten miles and a population of [-]. Many young people have gone out to work, so The resident population is less than [-], surrounded by dense forests, and there is only one road out of the village.

The only resources are the wood and bamboo on the mountain. The country has set up three state-run forest farms here in one go. You can imagine how closed the place is.

If it is in the city, the population of several larger communities will be larger than that of Jinpen Township.

……

No matter what, when I contacted Chen Laogen, I finally felt relieved a lot, and kept his number firmly in my heart. The phone can be lost, but the number cannot be forgotten. This is a life-saving straw.

After eating some breakfast casually, I turned my attention back to the delivery slip.

Because I found a clue, when the courier is mailed, it is impossible for the courier company to allow others to smear the courier slip, especially the tracking number, which is the "ID card" of the courier, which needs to be scanned and entered into the system. How to sweep after painting?
In other words, it is very likely that the tracking number was painted after the courier arrived, otherwise it would not be sent to the village at all.

A flash of light flashed in my mind, the postman of the township post office, Feng Deliang.He was in charge of the last stop of the courier, and the doll in red was the one he sent to me.

Without hesitation, I immediately left the store and ran to the post office in the village. This matter must be clarified.

But as soon as I turned the corner, I noticed a large group of people gathered outside the post office, and many people flocked there.

It won't happen, will it?

With a thump in my heart, I had a very bad premonition, and immediately speeded up.

"Leizi, come quickly, something serious has happened!" Before I approached, a dark and strong young man on the edge of the crowd waved to me.

I saw that it was Fa Xiao Cao Nan, who grew up playing with mud and had a close relationship.

When I got closer, Cao Nan glanced at me, "Why do you look so ugly?"

"It's okay, I've stayed up too late these days, what's going on inside?" I panicked instinctively, the matter of the doll in red was too sinister to involve Cao Nan, not to mention he couldn't help me, he would only put him in danger.

"The postman Feng Deliang is dead." Cao Nan said.

My heart twitched, I was late!
The courier slip was probably smeared by Feng Deliang. He just sent me the package yesterday and died today. It is not such a coincidence.

At this time, I recalled a detail. When I signed for the doll yesterday, everyone laughed at me, but he was expressionless. At that time, I felt that something was wrong with him. He used to love to joke.

"Go and see." I immediately squeezed inside.

Cao Nan hurriedly stopped me, "Leizi, don't go, you're about to get married, don't be in such bad luck, I heard people say that your death was miserable, it was a violent death."

"No, I have to go." I shook off Cao Nan and walked inside; the police haven't come yet, and if the police seal the scene, I won't have a chance to see it.

Soon I squeezed inside, and Cao Nan followed in. Several people from the post office were on the phone, but no one stopped us; we entered the hall first, and the leftmost side of the hall was the office of the post office.

Walking to the door of the office, the scene inside made me gasp.

I saw Feng Deliang leaning on the chair, staring at the front with a pair of wide-eyed eyes, the black pupils that were originally as big as a dime shrank to the point of chopsticks, and the pupils almost shrank into the eyes of needles.

This is a performance that only occurs under extreme panic.

The cause of its death was a marker pen on its neck, which penetrated deeply into its throat, and the blood flowed all over the place along its neck, which had dried up and turned black, apparently dead for a long time.

"I go!"

Cao Nan was also quite frightened by this scene, and instinctively took two steps back.

My scalp was numb. What did Feng Deliang see before he died? How could he be so frightened?

And that marker pen, the courier slip in my pocket is most likely painted with this marker pen.

After a pause, I found that Feng Deliang had one hand on the desk, so I boldly leaned over it.

On the black desk, a blood-stained "stone" character was shocking, and Feng Deliang's finger fell on the last stroke of the "stone" character.Apparently, this was the last word he wrote before he died.

"This...is a murder." Cao Nan also saw it, and said, "There must be a stone character in the murderer's name."

I froze all over. Doesn't my name contain stone characters, or three stone characters superimposed.

What does Feng Deliang mean, point to me?But I am not a murderer.

Just when I was wondering, sirens sounded from outside.

"Leizi get out, the police are here." Cao Nan immediately pulled me out.

After we ran out of the gate, the police also got out of the police car. Two people went in to check, accompanied by the post office staff, and the rest pulled the cordon. This kind of murder is rare in Jinpen Township.

Not long after, Feng Deliang's wife was notified to come, and when she saw Feng Deliang's body, she cried to death on the spot.

While the police were consoling Feng Deliang's wife, they were investigating the case. Soon there was news that Feng Deliang had committed suicide. The monitoring of the post office proved that he had inserted a marker pen down his throat with his own hands. The evidence was solid.

This result made me a little bit unbelievable. There are many ways for a person to commit suicide, even by hanging himself or jumping off a building. There is no pain, it only takes a moment.

How painful is it to insert a pen into one's own throat?How do you do it?The tip of the pen is not a knife, so it is not so easy to stab.

The most important thing is that Feng Deliang's eyes before his death are too scary. If it is suicide, is it necessary to be so frightened?One person is not even afraid of death, what else is he afraid of?
My intuition tells me that this matter is not that simple, and even the attitude of the police is very intriguing.

After thinking about it, I immediately dialed Chen Laogen's number, but the phone didn't go through, so I had to compose a text message and send it.

Feng Deliang's death was classified as a suicide, so the procedure went very quickly. The police took the body away in the morning, and the forensic doctor who came from the county at noon waited for the autopsy. In the afternoon, the body was returned to Feng Deliang's family for burial.

Feng Deliang's family lived three miles away from the fair. The funeral drums were played at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, and preparations for the funeral began. Many people went to help.

The countryside is different from the city, it is a society of acquaintances, so whether it is a wedding or a wedding, the big guys help each other, at most a mage and a team of gongs and drums are invited.

In terms of emotion and reason, Feng Deliang and I are fairly familiar and we live close together, so I should go to help, but I always feel uneasy and dare not go.

The word "stone" he wrote before the temporary even gave me a very bad premonition.

When I was feeling uneasy, my cell phone rang suddenly, it was Chen Laogen.

I pressed the answer button like lightning, and after Chen Laogen was sure it was me, he said solemnly: "Meng Lei, you must find a way to burn Feng Deliang's body, and you must not let the body stay overnight, otherwise something serious will happen."

"What?" I was taken aback for a moment, and then my head grew bigger when I realized it.

Burning corpses, what kind of joke are you talking about?
The country advocates the burial of the whole body. Burning the body is disrespectful to the ancestors, and it will be poked in the back. The Feng family absolutely cannot agree.

Chen Laogen explained: "Feng Deliang died violently, with deep grievances. Today, the [-]th day of the lunar calendar is approaching the full moon, and there is a high possibility that he will cheat the corpse. If he really cheats the corpse, the first target will be you!"

I just felt a chill rushing from the soles of my feet to my forehead, the hairs all over my body stood up, and I was shivering.

The dead person attacked him with a fake corpse... Thinking about that scene, I feel like I'm about to pee my pants!
