As soon as I saw Gu Xiaorou's face, I knew something was definitely going on.
Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, Gu Xiaorou glanced at me and said, "It was a call from the hospital, saying that my second uncle and the others... had an accident and asked me to claim the body."
When she said this, Gu Xiaorou started to choke, and tears began to float in her eyes.
I didn't answer, I just remained silent with an ugly expression on my face.
I thought of this possibility last night, but Gu Xiaorou called at that time and it was clear that everything was fine. Why did such bad news suddenly come today?
I opened my mouth and wanted to ask if there was any explanation of how people died? But I couldn't ask the question in the end, so I had to swallow it back in my stomach.
The car drove all the way to the entrance of the county hospital. As soon as she got out of the car, Gu Xiaorou rushed in.
I quickly followed her, fearing that she would lose control or something.
Finally, under the leadership of the hospital staff, we arrived at the underground morgue. It was air-conditioned and felt extremely cold as soon as we walked in.
I took a look at the bodies of Gu Changqing and the others. There were no obvious injuries on their bodies, but everyone had an almost ferocious smile on their faces, and their expressions looked somewhat penetrating.
This person was obviously harmed by something unclean, and it must have been the young man who used his tricks.
But according to my speculation, he should have killed Gu Changqing and others first, and then came to find Gu Xiaorou, but if this is the case, the time is not right.
I asked when did the person die? The hospital's reply was that when the nurses changed shifts in the morning, they found all three people dead in the ward. As for the time of death, it was speculated that it was between twelve and two o'clock in the morning, because at half past eleven, the nurse on duty I came here for a ward check, and he was fine at that time.
But when it was discovered in the morning, the body was already hardened, and it was estimated that the time of death was no less than six hours.
When the body was found, it was probably around eight o'clock in the morning, so they concluded that the person died between twelve o'clock and two o'clock, but the specific time could not be determined and would need to be determined through an autopsy.
This time does not match up with the time when Gu Xiaorou called last night, because when we came back from the mountain last night, it was already past twelve o'clock. When we made the call, it was at least the middle of the night and three in the morning. It was four o'clock. Gu Changqing and others should have been dead by then.
"When you called last night, who answered?"
I asked Gu Xiaorou.
"It's my second uncle."
Gu Xiaorou took a deep breath and said.
She obviously hadn't realized that the call last night might not have been answered by her second uncle at all, or to be precise, it wasn't answered by a living person.
But I didn't tell her about it because it made no sense and would only make her more scared.
Gu Xiaorou refused the autopsy and directly found someone to take the body home for burial.
Our place is all about burials, and there is no such thing as cremation, so people from the hospital and the police station also expressed their understanding and did not insist on autopsies or anything like that.
The relatives of the Gu family soon learned the news and rushed over. Now, Gu Xiaorou was the only one left in the entire Gu family. Naturally, some relatives and elders had to help with the funeral affairs of Gu Changqing and others.
This is strange to say, Gu Changqing and Gu Changbai both have wives, but neither of them has children, so the Gu family has only one daughter, Gu Xiaorou.
Last night, Gu Changqing was in the hospital, and his wife and Gu Changbai's wife were watching in the hospital. As a result, all three of them died.
The Gu family was originally prosperous, at least in Gu Changqing's generation, but now, it has fallen into a state of ruin.
I looked at Gu Changqing, who was lying in the coffin with a weird smile on his face, and suddenly my mood exploded.
I had been playing a game with that young man for so long, losing both the family home and the ancestral grave. Unexpectedly, I finally lost the game.
Although Gu Xiaorou is still alive, the Gu family is almost dead. In the end, the young man achieved his goal and finally destroyed the Gu family.
So I lost.
Next, it must be Gu Xiaorou's turn. The other party deliberately left Gu Xiaorou until the end. To put it in a bad way, the reason why Gu Xiaorou is still alive now is not because of how capable I am, but because the young man hasn't played yet. enough.
This sentence is really enough to echo the current situation.
Very good, this game is finally coming to an end. I know what this means. We are about to decide the outcome and decide whether to live or die.
Thinking of this, I just felt a warm blood in my body, rushing directly to my brain.
I can't wait.
The mourning hall was quickly decorated, with three coffins lined up in a row, all placed in the mourning hall.
It was already dark, and almost all the people who came to help were gone. Gu Xiaorou was wearing mourning clothes and burning paper money in the mourning hall.
I took out twelve yellow flags and placed them in different directions in the room. I also placed a red paper man in each of the four directions of the house, and then started to decorate them carefully.
I took the masked man puppet over, cast a spell, and took off my coat and wrapped it around the masked man.
There will definitely be no peace tonight. Now that Gu Xiaorou is the only one left in the Gu family, I guess the young man will probably show up directly.
When the time comes, one of him and I is destined to be here, so I have to be fully prepared.
I lit a cigarette, sat at the door and smoked slowly. As time passed by, the night became darker and darker.
At some point, a layer of fog began to form in the yard, and the night became more solemn, as if all the darkness had solidified into blocks.
I went up and put a corpse-killing charm on each coffin, and then put incense sticks in the incense burner.
The other party probably won't use that method of controlling corpses again, but just in case, I still have to restrain the corpses. After all, these are three corpses.
After doing all this, I quickly asked Gu Xiaorou to hide behind the coffin. In this situation tonight, she could only stay in the mourning hall. It was definitely not possible to leave her alone in the room.
Gu Xiaorou didn't ask anything, she just went up and hid behind the coffins.
I moved a chair in front of the incense table, lit another cigarette, and sat there smoking silently.
In the almost solid night outside the door, a figure emerged from nowhere. He was standing outside the door quietly. I didn't even know when this person came.
We just looked at each other silently through a door.
The strong aura of death on his body has even spread to the house. It seems that he may not be able to survive even tonight.
