Mystery Leaks

Chapter 4
I was at a loss for words, and said, "But... But Feng's family won't agree. Want... Otherwise, you can call to persuade them? Maybe they will listen to you."

"I called, but Feng's family didn't listen, so you have to do everything possible to burn his body before midnight, remember!" Chen Laogen said, and hung up the phone hastily after speaking.

Listening to the blind tone on the phone, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I was stunned.

Burning the corpse is easy to say, how to burn it?
The Feng family is a large family in Jinpen Township, with a large number of people, and with so many people staring at it, even if it burns, it will be extinguished. Besides, Feng Deliang is a bit fat.

The most likely reason is that he didn't burn the body, but committed public outrage and was beaten to death by the Feng family.

This is not a joke. The countryside is a clan society. People with big surnames are often very united and strong. If you are beaten to death, even the police will not be able to catch the murderer, because no one dares to come forward to testify against the murderer; If you know which blow is fatal, your death will be in vain.

How to do?
I was running around in a hurry, if this matter is not handled properly, there will be no way out anyway.

After much deliberation, I thought of Cao Nan. I can't do this alone, and I need help.

Cao Nan's family is in the wood processing business and lives next to the fair. He came as soon as he received my call, so I told him everything that happened in the past three days.

Cao Nan grew his mouth like listening to heavenly scriptures. It was not until I released the video of the doll in red that he couldn’t believe it. He repeatedly patted his legs and said that his grandma didn’t lie to him, and there are really dirty things in this world.

After digesting everything I've experienced, Cao Nan said speechlessly, "Leizi, you said you're getting married soon, why did you get involved in such a bad thing?"

I sighed, who said it wasn't, the red doll hadn't figured it out yet, Feng Deliang came again, the problem was that I didn't conflict with him, and it wasn't me who caused him.

But judging from the word "stone" written by Feng Deliang before his death, Chen Laogen had to believe what he said.

Cao Nan thought for a while, then patted my shoulder, and said, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to say, as long as you make sufficient preparations and set fire before Feng's family reacts, you should be able to succeed."

"Do you have a plan?" I asked hastily. Cao Nan is tall and big, and his mind is also good. Sometimes I encounter difficulties in business, and he will help me with ideas.

"In this way, we cover up and lurk there after dark, so as not to be recognized by others, then use gasoline to light the fire, and drive away after lighting, I think we should be able to burn almost exactly." Cao Nan said.

My eyes lit up, and it seemed like a good idea.

Just do what you say, we will prepare separately, Cao Nan will prepare the motorcycle, and I will prepare gasoline, clothes and black mask.These things were easy to come by, and we met in a deserted place in the dark.

Cao Nan got an unlicensed motorcycle and made two spike boards ingeniously. If someone chased us by bike, the spike boards could puncture their tires.

Afterwards, we rode to a place less than half a mile away from Feng's house. I put on loose clothes and covered my face by the side of the road, and then carried a gasoline tank and walked towards Feng's house through the hidden ridge of the field.

Cao Nan stayed where he was and prepared to meet him. He originally said he would go, but I didn't agree. In case of any accident, I can't implicate my best brother.

Half a mile will arrive soon, luckily, the coffin is right in front of you.

After a closer look, there are quite a few people watching the night, and there are two tables outside the Guangling shed, most of them are young people and young people, playing cards together.

Taking advantage of their concentration, I quickly pasted it and walked to a shadow on the side of the coffin.

I put my ear on and listened carefully to what was going on inside, and found that only Feng Deliang's wife was crying, and they never gave birth to children after their marriage.To my surprise, Feng Deliang's wife stopped crying after a few moments, opened the curtain and walked out.

God helps me too!

I immediately lifted the curtain and walked in, but there was no one inside.

Feng Deliang's body was placed on a door panel, supported by two benches, and his body was covered with a white shroud.The rule of burial in the country is that a mage must come to collect the corpse, that is, put it in the coffin, so although there is a coffin next to it, the corpse has not been put in yet.

I looked at it, and it is impossible to burn the body if it is burned like this, because the gasoline has flowed to the ground and seeped into the soil.But if you put the body in the coffin and pour gasoline, this problem does not exist.

There was not much time and people would find out at any time. I bravely picked up Feng Deliang's body and put it in the coffin, then unscrewed the gasoline barrel and poured gasoline into it.

But when I was halfway down, suddenly a gust of wind came in from the outside, and Feng Deliang's shroud was blown away.

Immediately, a pair of shrunken eyes with only the whites of the eyes but no black pupils widened, staring straight at me, as cold as a frost knife.

"I rely on!"

I was so scared that the hairs all over my body exploded, and I lost all the gasoline like an electric shock.

With a bang, the petrol can fell to the ground.

"What movement?"

"Could it be a wild cat that ran in?"

"Damn, hurry up and take a look, don't pick up the corpse!"

"..."

The sound alarmed the Feng family who were watching the night outside, and they rushed towards the coffin shed.

I yelled, I immediately grabbed a lit candle and threw it towards the coffin, then rushed out like crazy.

With a "bang", the gasoline detonated and produced a heat wave, and I felt that the hair on the back of me was scorched.

A large group of people from the Feng family were startled, and I took advantage of their confusion to rush out and escape.

"Fuck, someone burned Uncle De's golden body, put out the fire!"

"Son of a bitch!"

"Catch him now!"

"Chase! Don't let him run away!"

"..."

The Feng family reacted very quickly. Half of the people chased me frantically, and the other half rushed to put out the fire. The scene suddenly became chaotic.

I ran wildly, as fast as I could.

More than 200 meters in half a mile, no matter how far it is, or how close it is, all the strong young men of the Feng family chased after them, and some of them ran faster than me.

But I'm not weak either. My legs alternate rapidly, and I'm about to cramp from running.

In front, Cao Nan, who saw the flames, had already started the motorcycle and was hitting the gas pedal to signal me to hurry up.After I crossed the pegboard, I jumped onto the back seat. Cao Nan twisted the accelerator and the motorcycle flew out.

The people chased by the Feng family ate a mouthful of cigarettes, and all they had to do was jump around and scold their mothers.

There were also people chasing up from behind on bicycles, but Cao Nan's peg boards worked, and they all turned off their engines after chasing for a short distance.

I let out a sigh of relief, it's done, I just don't know how the corpse can be burned, but that's beyond my control.

After that, Cao Nan and I parted ways in a hidden place.

When I got back to the shop, I immediately ran to the second floor and looked in the direction of Feng's house. What made me feel a little sad was that the fire was not as big as I imagined, and it was still showing a tendency to weaken.

There was originally a barrel of gasoline, but a gust of wind frightened me and threw away half the barrel of gasoline, not sure if it was enough to burn.

After thinking about it, I immediately called Chen Laogen and wanted to report to him, but he still couldn't get through, so I had to use a text message instead.

Not long after, the fire in the direction of Feng's family became smaller and smaller, and finally extinguished.

The fire alarmed everyone in the vicinity of the fair, and groups of three and five piled up on the street to discuss and discuss until the night gradually deepened.

I was lying on the bed so nervous that I couldn't sleep because I didn't know whether Feng Deliang's body had been burned or not, and there was also a doll in red.

Now there is one more question, what is the relationship between the red doll and Feng Deliang?
Chen Laogen said that Feng Deliang had a lot of grievances, so it is unlikely that he committed suicide; if it was a homicide, would the murderer be a red doll?Or was it the mysterious person who sent me the doll in red?
Another point, how did Chen Laogen know that Feng Deliang was deeply resentful?When the doll in red appeared, he seemed to have foreseen it, so he avoided me like a plague god.

I can't figure out these questions, but I can go to the police station to inquire about Feng Deliang's death. Cao Nan seems to have a little friendship with a policeman in the police station.

I glanced at the time, it was already 11:30 in the evening.

Suddenly, the dogs in the town began to bark without warning. At first, it was the few dogs in the west, and then it spread all the way. Finally, all the dozens of dogs in the whole fairground were barking.

I became very nervous. Dogs are animals that are very sensitive to danger. It is impossible for them to bark for no reason, and they bark in such a large area.

The most important thing is that the west is the direction of Feng Deliang's house, which makes me have a very bad association.

The time passed by one minute and one second, and the time slowly pointed to twelve o'clock.

Suddenly, all the barking stopped abruptly, not missing a second, as if they were strangled by the neck at the same time.

In an instant, the entire surrounding area of ​​the fair was dead silent, not a single sound could be heard, not even the chirping of insects in summer.

My heart beats violently, what's going on?
Can make the dog stop barking, is it a red doll?
When she came two days ago, none of the dogs in the village dared to bark.

Then time point to point little by little, the red doll did not come tonight.

Then it was two o'clock, three o'clock... I didn't feel completely relieved until it was daylight and the first cock crowed in the village.

The rooster celebrates the morning, which represents the arrival of a new day, and you must avoid any ghosts and evil spirits.

Deep drowsiness hit me, and I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

This time I slept until nine in the morning before getting up. I went to the front of the mirror and took a closer look. I found that my complexion seemed to have recovered a little bit, especially the dark circles under my eyes, which had faded a lot.

After eating something, I'm going to set up shop and go about my business no matter what happens.

Others have family to fall back on, and I don't.

I have never met my parents since I was a child. It was my grandfather who brought me up. When I was 17 years old and was in my second year of high school, my grandfather also left me. The only person who can talk about relatives is my cousin.

That's why I dropped out of school and opened this electronic product store. After three years of hard work, it is considered a small achievement. I bought this store for commercial and residential use, and made a family. , you can get married.

Thanks to Cao Nan for helping me during this period, otherwise I would not even be able to make enough money to do business.

When I opened the rolling gate, there were already people coming and going outside. At this time, I suddenly found a pile of black ash on the ground at the door, as if someone had fallen there.
I walked forward and scratched with my feet, trying to see if there were any clues, when a yellow translucent thing turned out.

I picked it up and looked at it for a while, and then a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I threw the thing out like an electric shock.

It was clearly a burnt fingernail!
