Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Burial

The following note was written crookedly, obviously deliberately so that I could not recognize the handwriting.I picked up the note and read it carefully. It said: I saw someone kill Grandpa Wu.This sentence surprised me. I originally wanted Mo Feiying and Wei Dabao to speak, but now it brings up another mystery.I recognized the note written by Mo Feiying and Wei Dabao, so this note cannot be written by them, that is to say, there is another insider in the fourth grade class, who could it be? I carefully distinguished for a while, but the person who wrote the note deliberately distorted the handwriting, making it difficult to recognize.However, students are students after all, and they are not as comprehensive as teachers think.As long as I distinguish the handwriting of the rest of the students and exclude them one by one, the rest will be the one who wrote this note.I was impulsive all of a sudden, and I wanted to do it right away to find this student.But I promised, this is to write my heartfelt thoughts anonymously, if I follow the truth, will the students dare to trust me in the future?Since the students only dared to write anonymously, they must have their own reasons. I'd better not push too hard now, so as to avoid another incident involving Wang Xiaolong.

This morning's class was very long, because of an accident in the morning, the whole school changed to self-study class.I was fidgeting, and stood on the podium with my mobile phone and sent a few text messages to chat with Liu Qin, asking her if she had lost the key.Liu Qin replied to me in a very uncertain tone, not remembering if I had lost it, and asked me why I brought it up.I texted back and told Liu Qin that this morning Wang Xiaolong admitted that he stole the box, so he must have our key, not sure how he got it. Liu Qin couldn't answer, so I simply didn't bother her. At this time, Ouyang Xin also sent me a text message, asking me what I said to Wang Xiaolong on the roof in the morning.I knew that I couldn't hide the words from him in the morning, so I recruited them all and replied to him with short words.Chatting and chatting, I was engrossed in typing, and a multimedia message jumped into my eyes, with a photo attached.I checked the MMS number, and it wasn't Ouyang Xin's or Liu Qin's, but Wang Jingui's.

Since I left the county hospital and brought Grandpa Wu's body back, I haven't contacted this doctor again.I was a little surprised when I suddenly received a multimedia message from Wang Jingui, but I couldn't help frowning when I saw the content of the multimedia message.The content of the multimedia message is only one sentence: Can we go to Liuzhou together on National Day?The picture is accompanied by a bouquet of red roses.I really wasn't in that mood, and I didn't want to delay others in a nonchalant way, so I replied: I don't want to go.National Day intends to stay in school.Excuse me.

After replying, Wang Jingui remained silent, I put away my phone, and the school bell rang.After school in the morning, according to the plan, the village had to bury Grandpa Wu. It couldn't wait until evening, otherwise it would be very unlucky when the sun went down, and this was the seventh day.The four of us young teachers benefited from Grandpa Wu's maintenance skills, and we had to go to see him off for the last time together, so we walked to the vigil in a group without lunch. On the way, Wu Lingchun didn't want to talk to me, and had a stern face, as if everyone in the world owed her.Fortunately, Ouyang Xin took the initiative to say a few words to Wu Lingchun, breaking the stalemate.Liu Qin took my arm and walked slowly, like an old woman.I understand that Liu Qin used to be a daughter, her parents were petty officials, and her family was rich and powerful. She must have never seen such a terrifying scene.So, I asked Liu Qin if he wanted to go back first. Anyway, no one would count the number of people, so it doesn't matter if there is one less teacher.

Liu Qin replied: "No, I want to be with you!" "Are you afraid to come back?" I said helplessly. "I'm even more afraid of being alone in the dormitory. Who knows if anyone else has got the key to the dormitory, or should we change the lock tonight?" Liu Qin whispered. "What do you want to change? Just put a chair behind the door. No one in the village sells locks. If you want to change the locks, you have to go to the county town to buy them." I find it troublesome. During the conversation, the four of us teachers quickly walked to the vigil, and Aunt Liu was getting impatient.Although this was not a formal funeral, a simple banquet was held at the wake. Everyone had to have a meal together before raising the coffin for burial.There is a vacant seat on several large tables, and that vacant seat is Grandpa Wu's.The custom in the village is to let the old man have a meal with everyone, and send him through the gate of hell after the incident, to end this relationship and not to come back again.

"Sit down! Don't wait for the village chief. He, his wife, and Principal Zhang have gone to the county hospital." Aunt Liu ordered. On each table, a piece of paper was pasted with paste, and the name was written on the paper, and everyone had to be seated by name.I walked around and found my name, but I was separated from Liu Qin.The four of us young teachers sat at different tables, unable to speak at all.Originally, I wanted to discuss with Ouyang Xin about going to the old racecourse at night, but now it seems that I can only wait until I return from the burial. The villagers came to the scene one after another, but only adults came, and children were generally not allowed to be involved in funerals.I picked up my chopsticks and was about to eat, but I saw Lin Shuxiang and Boss Mo coming, sat next to me, and pinched me.My God, who arranged this, it must be Lin Shuxiang who asked Aunt Liu to do this!I feel awkward all over, I can't sit or eat, I can't wait to pretend to faint.After Lin Shuxiang sat down, she smiled charmingly at me. When she remembered that this was a funeral banquet, she immediately stopped smiling.

"You are Teacher Tang, is our Feiying good?" Lin Shuxiang asked me in a sweet voice. My mind was full of what Zhao Xixi said, and I hated Lin Shuxiang very much, but people asked me in front of so many people, so I had to answer her.After thinking about it, I replied that Mo Feiying is very good, and never misses in class.Lin Shuxiang felt bored when she heard my answer, so she stopped talking immediately.Strangely, just as our group was about to eat, the coffin next to us slammed, and we heard someone knocking on the coffin! Fraud?At noon? Everyone suddenly became quiet, and the autumn wind swept across, bringing in a chill, making people tremble.Soon, there was no movement, everyone returned to calm, and continued to eat the banquet, and no one mentioned what happened just now.But I feel something is wrong, this is not a ghost film, how could such a strange thing happen.The coffin was placed close to the ground, and it would not make any noise when it was pressed against something. There must be something weird in the coffin.While eating, I looked at the coffin and wondered if the coffin had been replaced, maybe there was a big living person in it now.

The coffin was easy to recognize, because it was an unpainted coffin, when the corpse was put into the coffin, and the surface was stained with a smear of ashes.Looking at the plaster marks, I was sure that this was the same coffin, but it was not known whether there was only one corpse in the coffin.I recalled it for a while, and remembered that after the coffin was filled with the corpse, the nails were nailed on the spot, and people kept vigil afterwards.Therefore, it is impossible for someone to change the coffin, and it is impossible for someone to pry it open and re-nail it. In fact, strictly speaking, Ouyang Xin and I had been away for a while during the wake.It's not impossible for someone to tamper with it during that time.It's just that the villagers are so simple, who would play tricks on this matter.I advised myself to relax and stop being suspicious. At this time, the coffin rang again, and it got louder and louder, so that everyone present could not pretend not to hear.

"Is there someone inside?" I asked nervously. Aunt Liu stared at me unhappily, and replied: "Don't worry about it, eat quickly, that's Grandpa Wu saying goodbye to us!" "This..." I suppressed the conversation, not daring to be troublesome, and the village has never heard of anyone missing.The coffin has been placed here for so long, it doesn't ring in the morning, it doesn't ring in the evening, but it only rings at this time, only Aunt Liu's explanation is the most reasonable. Everyone recovered and ate so much that they almost forgot that this was a funeral banquet.Lin Shuxiang and I were sitting next to each other, which was very uncomfortable. She kept looking at me, which made me unable to eat.Fortunately, Aunt Liu was full early, so she called me to remove the candles and other things beside the coffin, and left that disgusting dining table.The few big men in the village also came to help, ready to lift the coffin and go to the mountain behind the village.There used to be a pile of graves over there, no need to buy land, and no one would come here to build high-rise buildings, so you can bury whoever you want, and no one cares about burying aliens.

During the burial, everyone was in a hurry, afraid that the sun would set too quickly.I followed the team into the forest, thinking of going to the old racecourse at night, I couldn't help but feel annoyed.Now the money in the box is less than half, and I don't have a chance to talk to Mo Feiying and Wei Dabao, what should I do.Every parent believes in their child, and it's so complicated that the parents must think I'm lying.I knew that this way would not work, so I simply didn't think about it. After the burial, I went back to the dormitory with Liu Qin to rest, while Ouyang Xin was called to remove the tables and chairs from the banquet.

On this day, the school still had classes in the afternoon, so I opened the dormitory door and wanted to lie down.However, as soon as Liu Qin was in the room, she immediately asked where did the things on the table come from?I opened my eyes wide and saw that there was a pile of money on the table, as well as photos, silver coins, keys, and buckshot.I suddenly realized that it must be Mo Feiying and Wei Dabao who returned the things while the adults were having a banquet.Wang Xiaolong was shocked this morning, not to mention the students, even the teacher was terrified.These two naughty bastards couldn't take it anymore, so they wanted to return the things to me and let me face them. Having said that, Wang Xiaolong's psychological endurance is not bad, at least not worse than Wei Dabao and Mo Feiying.The reason why he chose to jump off the building was not only because of his uneasy conscience, but also because he used his death to force the two brats to hand over the remaining money.The owner of the box will definitely not force the three children to show up too much, and there is no guarantee that anyone will tell the truth to their parents.Like Wei Dabao, Aunt Liu dotes on him very much and believes everything she says, while Mo Feiying is also Boss Mo's treasure and rarely beats or scolds him.Only Wang Xiaolong is often beaten and scolded by his parents. Compared with the other two little devils, he is most afraid of his parents.Once these things are known to the village chief and his wife, Wang Xiaolong is likely to be beaten to death, as can be seen from the behavior of the village chief and his wife when he was about to jump off the building.Therefore, the owner of the box chose Wang Xiaolong. As long as one child is taken down, the other two will be obedient. I breathed a sigh of relief, at least everything was handed back, but Liu Qin asked: "No, I remember that there were five lead bullets in the box, and the police found two of them later, saying that they had your fingerprints. Since So, why are there still five lead bullets here?" I froze for a moment, and counted carefully, and there were indeed five lead bullets on the table.This is strange, if two rounds were used to frame me, there should be three rounds left here.Besides, the box was stolen by the students that night, and the lead bullet should have been in their hands, so how could it end up on Grandpa Wu's body.No matter how mischievous Wang Xiaolong's three little ghosts were, it was impossible for him to come up with such a sinister idea.Could it be that I touched those two lead bullets somewhere else?But I don't remember ever touching such a thing! "Forget it." I couldn't think of an answer, so I had to give up. Liu Qin picked up the key on the table, compared it, and quickly said, "This is really the key to our dormitory. How did the students get it?" I took the key and looked at it, and said with a wry smile: "This is the spare key left by Grandpa Wu. If my guess is correct, these brats stole those keys from Grandpa Wu..." "What's wrong?" Liu Qin asked strangely, seeing that my voice was getting softer. I suddenly wondered, if a student went to Wu Agong's house to steal the key that night, and then returned it at night, would he see the murderer?The murderer put the body into Grandpa Wu's house and set it on fire. Has anyone really seen all this?But the people who stole the key should be Mo Feiying and Wei Dabao. They didn't write "I saw who killed Grandpa Wu" on the note they handed in. So there was a fourth student who stole the box that night. For a moment, I felt that the answer to the mystery was ready to be revealed. As long as I found the fourth student, the problem would be solved.At this moment, Liu Qin rummaged through the things on the table, and an ID card slipped from the pile of money to the ground.I looked surprised, because I didn't notice that there was an ID card in the money pile before, and who else could be caught in the money pile except the owner of the box. I never thought that the identity of the owner of the box would be revealed in this way, no wonder he was eager to get the box back.Liu Qin and I looked at each other, squatted down slowly, picked up the ID card, and turned it over to take a look at the front. Almost at the same time, we said in disbelief: "No way?!"
