Living Funeral
Fu Yan looked serious at this moment, not joking at all.
I responded with a slight "mm," agreeing to watch the video. Honestly, I didn't want to see it, but since Fu Yan had brought it up to this extent, I couldn't refuse. After all, he was a police officer! It wouldn't be right to dismiss him.
So, I began watching the video with Fu Yan. It mainly featured footage of corpses being faked in the morgue. The visuals were eerie, sending chills down my spine and making me shiver involuntarily.
In the dim light of the night, bloodied figures emerged from the morgue.
The video had been edited, but there were blind spots in the surveillance footage, allowing these female corpses to vanish into the shadows.
I felt cold sweat forming in my palms, a chilling sensation creeping over me.
It was broad daylight! I felt a shiver run through me as Fu Yan asked, "What do you think about this?"
I replied, "What’s there to think? It's clearly a case of faking death!"
With so many female corpses involved, what on earth was Brother Li planning? Was he up to something perverse? My mind was filled with questions.
Fu Yan said, "So does that mean there are ghosts in this world?"
At this point, Fu Yan was still asking such questions. I thought he must already believe it but needed my confirmation. Since that was the case, I decided to be that confirming voice. I told Fu Yan, "There are ghosts in this world."
Fu Yan looked at me with confusion.
I continued, explaining that I had seen one myself and had nearly been harmed by it. There are many things in this world that science cannot explain.
"Like what?" Fu Yan asked me at that moment. I could tell he hadn't been sleeping well these days; there were bloodshot veins in his eyes.
I replied, "For example, sleep paralysis. You wake up suddenly at night and find you can't move. Can you explain that? And what about walking alone at night? You always feel like someone is following you. Is it just psychological, or is there really a ghost behind you? And then there's the Ghost Wall, among other things."
Fu Yan's eyes lit up at that.
I told him I wasn't trying to promote superstitious beliefs; I was simply saying that whether he believed it or not, these things do exist.
Fu Yan's expression twisted slightly before he finally said, "I believe."
He took a deep drag from his cigarette and then extinguished it in his palm.
I asked Fu Yan, "Do you have any updates on the missing female corpses?"
Fu Yan shook his head, as if they had evaporated from the world. I told him I had some matters to attend to in the afternoon and reminded him to call me if he had any news. As I was leaving, Fu Yan didn't forget to remind me, "Chen Fei, remember to keep this confidential. If this gets out, it won't be good."
I nodded in agreement.
I felt really suffocated while staying in the interrogation room. Once I stepped out, I felt much lighter. Gao Ling asked, "Why did it take so long?"
I replied, "There were some matters to discuss inside."
Gao Ling didn't pry further and suggested, "Why don't you call Brother Zhang and invite him for lunch? It's just the right time for a meal."
I agreed and quickly called Zhang Xun. He told us to go ahead without him. After hanging up, Gao Ling and I found a random place to eat. During the meal, I sent a text message to Zhang Xun.
I directly confronted Zhang Fatty, asking if he would take care of the issue with Li Qiang. If he would, I told him to keep an eye on the Public Security Bureau.
I sent a simple text message like that. After dinner, we returned home. Just as I opened the door, Zhang Fatty sent me a message saying, "I will look into this matter. If Li Qiang betrays us, I will take action."
Betray? Doubts immediately arose in my mind. I replied to Zhang Fatty, asking, "Can you handle it?"
This time, Zhang Fatty replied instantly, "I can't handle it alone. So when I find out where Li Qiang is staying, I'll notify you and Zhang Xun to come over."
I: ...
In the end, I just replied with a simple "Okay." Looking back now, I remember that when I first entered the funeral home, Brother Li was quite supportive of me. After the Civil Affairs Department issued the order to clear the bodies, Brother Li suggested cremating that Taoist's body, which led to a series of strange events.
Why did the Civil Affairs Department issue the order at that time? Old Wang had clearly prohibited burning the bodies, yet in the end, Brother Li insisted on having it burned.
Although Director Wang was an imposter, he still lost his life. The fake Director Wang opposed cremating the body at that time, so he ended up dead.
There are so many suspicious points here; just thinking about it makes my head spin. It's terrifying to consider whether there is some connection between Brother Li, the Civil Affairs Department, and the Taoist priest. Perhaps from the very beginning, Brother Li intended to betray us.
While I didn't know exactly what Zhang Fatty meant by betrayal, it was clear that Brother Li was definitely problematic.
Damn it, this is truly frightening. Who is orchestrating all of this? If it really is a human plot, then this game is being played on a grand scale.
Standing at the doorway staring at my phone, Gao Ling said, "Fei, what are you thinking about? Come inside already."
I snapped back to reality and walked in. Gao Ling said to me, "Get ready to head out. They're pushing us over there."
I was feeling uneasy with Zhang Xun right beside me, not saying a word but staying close. I turned to him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Zhang Xun said to me, "Chen Fei, you're in danger. The Old Witch might be after you again. The people at the door—they're all her doing. She could be planning a 'Dead Sacrifice.'"
My mind felt like it was about to explode. Damn it, these bastards were plotting against me.
I felt a heavy weight pressing down on my heart, making it hard to breathe. I fell silent for a moment, unable to respond to Zhang Xun's words. I didn't know what was happening; so many things were piling up, and my ability to cope was limited.
If death comes, then so be it.
I told Zhang Xun, "Forget it. Let's go back to that place this afternoon."
Zhang Xun stared at me and said, "And remember, Chen Fei, you don't need to be afraid. If someone is out to harm you, there will be someone to help you."
At that moment, I couldn't hold back any longer and cursed under my breath. "Why is everyone targeting me?"
Zhang Xun simply replied, "Blame Jiang Changsheng for resurrecting you in 198."
I retorted, "I wasn't even born in 198! How could I have been resurrected?" Zhang Xun insisted, "You were born then." I pressed him further, "Then what about my parents?" My tone grew more intense as I spoke. Zhang Xun replied, "Your parents are just an illusion."
I cursed again; my parents were very real and right there—how could they be an illusion?
I shot back at Zhang Xun, "Stop with the nonsense." He replied firmly, "Chen Fei, listen carefully. Everything I've said is true."
Just then, Gao Ling walked out of the room with a confused expression and said, "What are you two arguing about? We're all brothers here; there's nothing to fight over."
Both Zhang Xun and I fell silent at the same time. Gao Ling was a carefree person, so naturally, he wouldn’t take our words to heart. Zhang Xun and I exchanged glances and decided not to pursue the matter further. This situation was truly eerie.
Eerie indeed! I took a deep breath.
In the afternoon, Gao Ling and Zhang Xun set off. During the drive, Gao Ling grumbled, "Damn it, this broken car. We need to get a new one when we come back."
After a few more curses from Gao Ling, the car broke down. Damn it, what a hassle! We wasted two or three hours on the roadside before getting it fixed, so by the time we arrived, it was already night.
During that time, Wu the Fatty called several times to hurry us up. His urgency made Gao Ling explode. He cursed, "What the hell? Is someone dead? If not, just wait! If they are dead, then damn it, just bury them!" With that, Gao Ling hung up the phone.
When we finally arrived, it was just getting dark.
We reached Wu the Fatty's house. I really didn’t have a good impression of the people in this village, so once inside, I didn’t say a word.
Upon seeing Gao Ling, Wu the Fatty exclaimed, "Gao Ling, you have to save my wife!"
Damn it! Hearing such words about an affair at this moment made me feel nauseous. Wu the Fatty led us to his wife's room. She was lying on the bed with her hands and feet tied up, making strange and unsettling laughter.
At that moment, I noticed someone standing by the bedside. I was instantly shocked and stammered, "What are you doing here?"
