The statements that Liu Yuanyuan and Liu Jing finally gave to the police were slightly different from the statements they had made for each other during the collusion. This was of course because they had revised their statements after the fact.
Liu Zhaodi, on the other hand, had been "kept in the dark" all this time. She didn't know that her confession about the murder of He Shuangxi and Du Juan had been "tampered with" by Liu Jing in advance.
Of course, Liu Yuanyuan thought that she and Liu Jing had a tacit understanding of cooperation and could successfully prevent Liu Zhaodi from suddenly "turning back" when the time came, but she actually didn't know that Liu Jing had also concealed something from her.
Although the funeral parlor is a place that specializes in handling corpses, not all personnel in the parlor have to deal directly with corpses. Only people in three positions will inevitably have to come into contact with corpses.
The first is the funeral home body bearer. This position is usually recruited externally by the Civil Affairs Bureau, or directly by the funeral home. Moreover, this position generally requires passing a test before signing a contract. It is a contract worker and has less benefits than the employees of the funeral home within the establishment, but you must be brave in doing things. Be careful and careful, but also prevent mistakes.
As for the test method, it is also very simple: go directly to carry the corpse with real swords and guns. If you can be "unmoved", then stay, if you can't, get out.
This is what Liu Zhaodi does in the funeral home.
Next is the body beautician in the funeral home, who specializes in beautifying corpses. They used to be assigned to the staff, but now they are recruited for the society, and there is no room for any mistakes (because this is the last dignity of the deceased and an explanation to the family).
Finally, there is the cremation industry. In the old days of old boilers, this was usually done by employees with boiler certificates. Now it is said that there are three types of boilers, and the methods of each boiler are different. Maybe the professional requirements are higher now.
If we want to rank the psychological quality requirements of these three jobs in order of strength, we can only say that the requirements of porters and body beauticians are similar, while the requirements of cremation workers are relatively easy to accept.
For corpse carriers, it is relatively better to encounter corpses that have died normally. If they encounter corpses that have died abnormally, those who are not mentally strong enough will not be able to bear it.
For example, the corpses left at the scene of a car accident are covered with blood stains everywhere, and even the colorful internal organs are exposed. This requires porters to clean up at the scene before sending them to the funeral parlor; especially those who fell into the water or were thrown into the water. The corpse inside, once the view of giants appears, it is really difficult to accept.
After a person dies, due to the termination of the life process, the putrefactive bacteria that have been parasitic in the human body during life can grow and multiply crazily without the control of the human immune system.
These astonishing amounts of putrefactive bacteria can produce a large amount of dirty green putrid gas that fills the human body, making the human body look like an inflated human-shaped balloon. It can fall off in the shape of gloves and socks, and the whole body swells up into a giant, making it difficult to recognize its appearance during life.
This is the so-called view of giants.
Corpse make-up artists also need a strong heart, because not only may they face corpses that died abnormally, but they also work mostly at night, and some (mainly those with seriously damaged corpses) even need longer time for beautification.
Just imagine, in a silent night, in a morgue surrounded by corpses, facing a corpse alone or with only two people for a long time (some corpses are incomplete or even bloody). Such a scene is so bright. It's not very beautiful when you think about it.
Because the corpse has been beautified and finally presented to the cremator, it is naturally relatively easy for people to accept it.
But some novices may be afraid, because during the cremation process, the body fat and various joints will make a "crackling" sound when the body is burned at high temperature, which sounds like the sound made by a hollow bamboo pole when it is burned. The sound is the same, and he may even sit up suddenly.
Especially corpses that died abnormally, such as falling into the water, falling, or car accidents, these corpses make more noise during the cremation process than normal corpses, which makes them scary.
There are two funeral parlors in Shashi City, one is Riyueshan Funeral Parlor and the other is Tiepenling Funeral Parlor.
Lao Liu and Ouyang first came to Riyueshan Funeral Parlor, but the inside of the parlor
None of the staff had any memory of the name Li Haidong. Old Liu had an idea and changed his name to ask Wang Kang and Zhao Changkang, but the response he received was still blank.
The two were planning to go to Tiebening Ridge with Xie Miao, who had replaced Wang Xing. When they reached the door, Ouyang suddenly had an idea. He thought that Li Haidong's style had never dealt with people very much. Even if he had worked here, the whole It was normal for the people at the funeral home not to remember his name, so they took out Li Haidong's photo and asked the security guard at the door directly.
The security guard is old and has worked here for a long time, and the staff in the museum come and go every day, so he may have an impression.
"You are looking for Li Xianxiang, right?" The uncle actually recognized the person in the photo.
Lao Liu and Ouyang suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Li Haidong probably got such a nickname because he rarely communicated with others and seemed introverted and shy. Over time, people who knew him probably only remembered his nickname.
The uncle’s next words really confirmed this point:
"This person... I have a vague impression. Not only does he look like a girl, but his personality is also like that of a girl. He doesn't usually talk to people. He will smile when he meets acquaintances in the hotel and say hello. So everyone who knows him in the library calls him Li Xianxi, and no one really knows what his given name is anymore.”
"It stands to reason that such a shy person might be timid, but he works as a makeup artist in a museum and often has to put makeup on corpses alone in the middle of the night. He is definitely not timid. This seems very contradictory, so I I’m very impressed with him.”
"But I don't know much about him, and I guess other people in the library don't know much about him either... Well, as I said just now, he doesn't talk to people very much."
After a pause, the uncle seemed to remember something again, and his expression suddenly looked quite strange: "There used to be a plumber named Liu Jianren in the museum. I heard that the house they rented was in the same building. You can find this Liu Jianren." Ask, he knows more than we probably know.”
What about Liu Jianren? You used to work as a plumber here, but then you quit?
"I was arrested and sent to jail." The uncle replied concisely.
What have you committed?
The uncle was quite embarrassed and seemed unwilling to speak. Seeing that they all showed their IDs, he had to continue to cooperate with the investigation, but what he said next almost shook people's minds.
"Liu Jianren... is just a pervert. He violated the female body in the museum and made the body dirty. Afterwards, the deceased's family saw clues from the body. As soon as they called the police, he was arrested... It seems that he was also Not long after that, Li Yanshen resigned, and I heard he switched jobs to Tiebening Ridge."
The three of them were stunned for a long time.
"What did you say he violated?" Xie Miao thought he had heard wrongly.
"Female corpses, women's corpses, and more than one was violated." The uncle emphasized again, "I have been working here for decades, and I have heard all kinds of weird things, but this one... it's really a ghost. , I gained a lot of knowledge.”
"This kid Liu Jianren's family situation is not good. He has no education, no skills, no connections, and he doesn't communicate well with others, so he can't find a job at all. Then he had no other choice, so he came to the funeral parlor to apply for a job as a plumber."
"The plumbers in the museum have to ensure the safety of the circuits in the morgue. They have to inspect and repair the circuits and wires in the morgue every night. Otherwise, if there is a circuit failure in the morgue, the freezing effect will be lost. The body will be completely ruined."
"So, basically no one applies for this job. Once Liu Jianren comes, the job will be his."
"That boy is in his prime and full of energy, but he can't find a girlfriend. It is said that he can only watch movies all day long, but this is not an option." Kanshu La
"Since he often went to the morgue, he soon discovered that some of the female corpses looked pretty good, especially after being put on makeup, and they looked as lifelike as if they were asleep, so... you know."
"I heard that after the first time, Liu Jianren was very nervous and worried for several days. It turned out that no one cared at all. Because most of the deceased
Because the family members are sad or afraid, they will not visit the body on the day of cremation. As long as Liu Jianren grasps the time and does things before the cremation, he can ensure that the family of the deceased will not notice anything unusual. "
"After realizing this, Liu Jianren seemed to have discovered a new world and let himself go completely... At the beginning, he would restore everything to the original, but as time went by, the number of these dirty things he did became more and more... If there are too many, they will become more and more bold, and they will not even bother to restore their original state, so they will just clean it up and do it perfunctorily."
"Where are the staff responsible for the cremation? They can't possibly be unaware, right?" Xie Miao suddenly interrupted and asked.
The uncle smiled awkwardly: "Yes, there is... but as long as the family of the deceased does not find out about this kind of thing, even if the cremator does find out, he will just turn a blind eye. After all, the cremator is also one of his own, so this Speaking out about this kind of thing will only affect the reputation of the funeral home, and one more thing is worse than one less thing."
"In this case, how did Liu Jianren be discovered by the family of the deceased?" Xie Miao asked.
"As I said just now, this kid became more and more reckless as time went on. The last time he was done, he didn't even clean up the place before going back to sleep."
"It turned out that the family of the deceased did not follow the routine and asked to see his wife early in the morning on the day of cremation. As a result, they saw pinch marks on the thighs and arms of the corpse, and the makeup on the face was messy. It was even worse. What's more, there are toilet paper scattered on the ground..."
