Changhong Street, Changhong Community.

After waiting at the entrance of the community for five or six minutes, Zhang Fan successfully met the landlord he contacted on the platform.

This time, Zhang Fan chose a three-bedroom house.

It was an unfinished house, and the owner was a wealthy man who had never visited it and almost forgot about its existence.

All facilities in the community have been completed.

In Zhang Fan's opinion, this is very suitable.

As soon as they met, the other party recognized Zhang Fan's identity and insisted on giving him a 25% discount, saying that he learned it from him.

Zhang Fan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the other party's kindness.

So, after looking at the house and feeling that there was no problem with it, Zhang Fan signed the contract and readily paid the full amount in one go.

After a 25% discount, the total price is 670,000 yuan, and a parking space is given. It’s such a good deal.

During the chat, Zhang Fan learned that the other party was the owner of a decoration company.

In order to repay the favor of giving a discount, Zhang Fan immediately transferred 300,000 yuan to the other party and asked them to help with the fine decoration.

By the way, Zhang Fan also wrote a letter of power of attorney, asking the original owner to help with the transfer of ownership.

After the transaction was successfully completed, Zhang Fan returned to the funeral home before noon.

At this time, the time had come to eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

I received a few more orders this morning, but most of them did not meet the standards of the system tasks and were all reserved.

There was only one order, which was made in advance by an elderly widower for himself.

Zhang Fan also understands this phenomenon very well.

Although he is very famous, few people would book a funeral for him in advance.

Even if there is, I won’t be so anxious.

Most of these system tasks still require you to find them on your own.

During the lunch break, Zhang Fan took his employees out to have a box lunch.

Although we are not short of money, we cannot go to a big hotel every day.

…

The other side.

The funeral shop owners just came out of the Security Bureau at 7:30 and are now out again.

However, the original team of ninety people was reduced to more than fifty people.

This morning, they lined up to visit Zhao Zhiguang, bringing gifts.

When it was about the third dozen people in line, Zhao Zhiguang had already been admitted to the ICU.

After the hospital called the police, all the funeral owners were arrested and questioned about the transfer of ownership. Those who had not had the chance to participate were released.

According to the doctor, Zhao Zhiguang will not be able to come out for at least half a year, so they still have a chance to visit him.

Now that their revenge had been temporarily achieved, they began to think about the funeral home.

After discussing on the spot, everyone returned to their respective shops.

However, when they returned to the store, they found...

My own funeral home has long been renamed.

Although the doorhead is still the original one.

But there were no employees in the entire store that they could command, and more than half of them were strangers to them.

All they each received were varying numbers of resignation notices and labor lawsuits.

All of this was within their expectations.

After all, the labor contract has not been signed and the store has been inspected, so it is normal for the employees to leave.

But what they never expected was.

Seven days, a full seven days passed.

There are still no funeral products in the store!

Not one!

After discussing over the phone, the funeral shop owners made a unanimous decision:

Go to Changhong Funeral Home.

Even being a branch manager is better than starving to death.

After all, the management and use rights of the store are in their hands. It’s like giving money to them to work. I think Zhang Fan will not refuse.

Even if I can't become a manager, being a supervisor should be no problem.

Finally, they sent the man with a mustache who had just been discharged from the hospital to discuss the matter with Zhang Fan.

This is not bullying, because his hairstyle and beard give him the temperament of a messenger.

Others formed a group and went to an advertising company to make new store signs.

By the way, they also made a big signboard of "Changhong Funeral Store" for Zhang Fan.

The others are sorted by age, starting from store No. 2 and going down.

Zhang Fan had no objection to this, and was quite happy instead.

After receiving the call from Moustache, Zhang Fan immediately agreed with their idea.

This saves a lot of money and time.

Afterwards, Zhang Fan created a new chat group and invited all the branch managers to join.

In the group, Zhang Fan emphasized Changhong Funeral's business principles and corporate culture, especially its attitude towards funerals, which Zhang Fan reiterated repeatedly.

…

At the same time, at the bank of a small river less than two kilometers away from Yejia Village.

The salvage work is nearing completion and colleagues from the Xiaoshan School have also arrived at the scene.

Liu Jun and others stood aside, counting the victims salvaged while waiting anxiously.

"Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five..."

"Master, you're over counting. The bones that have just been fished out can't be counted."

"Yes, let me count again...wait..."

The master and the disciple looked at each other, and then widened their eyes at the same time, instantly realizing the seriousness of the problem.

Someone has died in this pool a long time ago!

Liu Jun immediately made a judgment: "The remains are in the river, and it will take at least a year for them to turn into bones."

Soon, the salvage work was completed, and Master Liu Jun and his apprentice hurried forward to check.

Although the matter of the bones was serious, they still ran to the place where the person who fell into the water today was first.

Twenty-four, not one less.

After the rescue team carried out first aid, they said that no one could save the patient.

These people are all dead.

But, the strange thing is that all these people carried their ID cards.

So the identity confirmation process is very easy.

After verification, these people are all from Yejia Village.

…

After completing the necessary procedures, the Security Bureau notified the families of the deceased one by one.

After doing all this, Liu Jun and others had time to focus on the bones.

The remains have completely turned to bones, and there is nothing to indicate their identity.

Liu Jun's first reaction was to guess that someone had accidentally fallen into the river and unfortunately drowned, and the body floated along the river to this place.

Or maybe someone committed murder and dumped the body into the river.

But if it was the former, it should have been discovered long ago and would not have been reduced to the state of being reduced to bones.

Therefore, this is most likely a case of body dumping.

In order to act cautiously, Liu Juntuo also investigated the records of missing security guards in Yejia Village and several nearby villages.

Although there are, but the people have all been found.

This further verified Liu Jun's conjecture.

Just as he was about to report to Xiaoshan, what the salvage team salvaged directly verified his guess.

It was a stone, a very heavy stone, with an iron chain tied to it.

At the other end of the chain, there were some pieces of clothing.

When Liu Jun saw this object, he quickly imagined the scene of the crime.

The murderer tied the body to stones and threw it into the river.

Thinking of this, a figure quickly emerged in Liu Jun's mind.

Ye Xiaoshan.

The last time he came to Yejia Village to investigate, he heard about his mother's sudden death.

The fact that the villagers did not know the burial site had long aroused Liu Jun's suspicion.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun immediately called Ye Xiaoshan and asked him to come to the scene.

Ye Xiaoshan had just moved Ye Dashan's grave in the morning and happened to be on his way back. He was going to inform the elders in the village of the news.

But the call couldn't be connected, and Ye Xiaoshan thought that the elder was angry, so he rushed back.

…

Ten minutes later, Ye Xiaoshan arrived at the scene.

After seeing the white bones on the ground and the salvage team collecting their troops, he quickly guessed what had just happened.

For a moment, my intestines churned and I felt nauseous.

“Ugh~”

After struggling for a while, Ye Xiaoshan poured out all his lunch in one breath, and said with a grim look on his face:

"Leader, this couldn't have been fished out from here, could it?"

"Yes, what's your situation?" Liu Jun said seriously.

“Ugh~”

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoshan retched again and explained, "Leader... this... ugh... this lake water... is the only source of water for our village!"

"ah?"

Master and disciple Liu Jun looked at each other in surprise and felt inexplicably nauseous. Fortunately, they didn't have time to eat lunch.

After a pause, Liu Jun began to question Ye Xiaoshan.

…

Thirty minutes later, Liu Jun came to the conclusion:

Ye Xiaoshan was completely unaware of this matter and he had no impression of his mother.

Because he was not his biological son, Liu Jun temporarily let Ye Xiaoshan return home on the grounds that he had lived a long time and could not do a DNA test.

Afterwards, Liu Jun contacted the patient and sent the bones for autopsy.

After doing all this, Master Liu Jun and his apprentice drove to the hospital, hoping there might be a survivor who could help solve the mystery of what happened.

What happened more than 30 years ago is probably only known to this generation. I didn’t expect that it would all fall into the river today.

Sitting on the way to the hospital, Li Shaohui began to have wild thoughts.

"Master, do you think it is possible that these bones are the people who died unjustly that year? The villagers drank some water, so their health is getting worse day by day?"

"This doesn't make sense. There were so many people drinking water. Could these people be the murderers? Could today's car accident be a long-planned revenge?"

"Master, you have seen horror movies, right? Have you heard of the evil spirit that seeks death?"

"That's not right... We didn't provoke anyone."

"Okay, stop guessing." Liu Jun interrupted, "Let's go to the hospital first to see what's going on. As long as someone is dead, we can always find the real culprit."

“Ahh…”

…

On the other side, Changhong Funeral Home.

After lunch, Zhang Fan took out his cell phone again, and he was harassed again.

But this time, he discovered a mysterious organization.
