I took out my phone and as soon as it was unlocked, Ji Canghai snatched it away.
The next second, he threw the phone into my arms again as if it was hot to the touch.
"No, don't call the police."
Ji Canghai's face was full of pleading: "I'll tell you the truth. After I tell you, you can help me burn it."
"I don't want to hear it."
The moment I turned around, Ji Canghai suddenly raised his voice.
"I killed him!"
When I heard this, I trembled all over.
When I looked back, Ji Canghai had already squatted down, covering his chest with one hand, and tears were pouring down his face.
"He was beaten to death by me, but don't worry, I'm definitely not a murderer!"
What this says is really contradictory.
"I'm a boxer, but I don't know how to measure myself in the ring..."
"That's my best partner!"
Ji Canghai cried more and more fiercely, which was completely opposite to the fierce and ferocious appearance just now.
After a moment, he rubbed his eyes with his sleeves and continued: "I did steal the body. I just wanted to give him some dignity. I wanted to send him on his last journey."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me.
I took a sideways glance and saw that it was indeed a responsibility recognition document written on it, and there was a bright red stamp underneath.
But this piece of paper alone makes me believe him. This is a bit nonsense, right?
But, having said that, if what he said is true, I am really willing to help him.
If not for anything else, just because he has the guts to bow his head and admit his mistakes. This man is a man!
Ji Canghai quickly took out another piece of paper: "Look, this is the state of life and death."
"In the octagonal cage, life and death are determined. This is our rule. I did make a mistake. I am really not a murderer!"
I looked away and shook my head: "I still can't believe you."
At this time, Chen Jiayan, who had been silent until now, suddenly pulled me.
"look."
I took her phone and looked down, and a huge headline caught my eye.
"The ancient Muay Thai fighter is going crazy in the cage!"
I clicked on the link and saw that the man in the news was really Ji Canghai in front of me.
At the same time, I noticed a line of small print in the report: Ji Canghai is suspected of being ill.
I looked Ji Canghai up and down, then handed the phone back to Chen Jiayan, my tone slightly relaxed.
"There's nothing wrong with you stealing a body."
Ji Canghai's eyes suddenly brightened: "Do you believe me?"
I nodded gently, but actually I was full of admiration for this man.
"but……"
I hesitated for a moment: "You should return the body to the family. Aren't you causing trouble for yourself?"
Ji Canghai lowered his head and asked angrily: "Shouldn't those who make mistakes have a chance to repent?"
I was inexplicably shocked, but I still tried to persuade him.
"You use money to compensate. Even if you spend the rest of your life working for his family, it's better than doing this, right?"
"That's compensation to his family. I want to compensate my brother."
I swallowed and looked at the person in front of me again.
From a moral point of view, it was wrong for him to steal the body, so wrong!
But from a human perspective, I saw his brilliance.
I suddenly felt my head was hot, and I couldn't hold back the rush of blood.
However, this matter involves principles.
If family members come to the door, trouble will continue.
I can't bring down the whole funeral parlor just because of my passion, right?
I didn't hesitate and called the curator directly.
I told him the story exactly as it was, and analyzed the pros and cons with him very seriously.
After repeated confirmations, the curator’s attitude not only changed
Change, but become more excited.
"This brother is not simple!"
"Go ahead and do it boldly. If something happens, I will take care of it!"
With his words, I felt relieved.
I took a deep breath and stretched out my hand in front of Ji Canghai: "You are a man, brother."
"We did the job!"
"Okay, okay."
Ji Canghai's hands shook with excitement and he thanked me profusely.
Everything was ready, and according to Ji Canghai's wishes, it was burned on the same day.
This was the simplest funeral I have ever seen, with no relatives, no farewell ceremony, and not even crying.
Only Ji Canghai stood silently, without saying a word from beginning to end.
Until the incinerator started running, Ji Canghai's tears fell with the huge roar of the machine.
"Ugh!"
Ji Canghai looked at the chimney that was emitting white smoke, and his Adam's apple moved up and down a few times.
The tears stopped suddenly.
After the funeral, Ji Canghai divided the money in his pocket into two parts.
"this."
He dangled the money in my hand and stuffed it into my left pocket: "It's money to burn my brother."
"this."
He put another amount of money into my right pocket: "This is my money."
