Liu Jun entered the funeral home, looked at the unfamiliar faces in the store, and asked, "Is Zhang Fan not back yet?"
"No." The temporary store manager shook his head and said, "Leader, our boss should be back today. I'm the temporary store manager. You can just call me Xiao Zhao."
"Okay, I'll go check on the deceased first."
Liu Jun nodded slightly, and under the guidance of Xiao Zhao, he quickly walked into the warehouse.
Looking at the neatly arranged coffins and the peaceful bodies inside, Liu Jun frowned slightly: "You, didn't move the bodies, did you?"
"No, absolutely not."
Xiao Zhao quickly raised his hands and shook his head, "I was the last one to leave last night and the first one to come today. I don't know how they got in."
"Wasn't the store locked yesterday?" Liu Jun asked.
"It's locked. I opened the door myself this morning and the lock has not been pried open." Xiao Zhao said seriously.
"Is there a back door in the store?" Liu Jun asked again.
Xiao Zhao shook his head and said, "No, there's a door in front."
"Well..." Liu Jun frowned as he thought, "Let my apprentice check the surveillance. Don't move the body yet. Wait for our people to come. I'll go outside and take a look."
With many doubts in his mind, Liu Jun quickly walked out of the store.
If there is only one door in the store and it is locked, and there is no sign that the lock has been knocked open.
So how did these corpses get in?
Even the living can't get in, let alone the corpses...
Unless there are other entrances in the store, or Manager Zhao is lying.
However, after walking around the funeral home carefully, Liu Jun still couldn't find the second entrance.
At this time, the surprised voice of apprentice Li Shaohui sounded:
"Master, please come in quickly, something big has happened!"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the sound, Liu Jun hurried back into the store and went straight to Li Shaohui.
"Master, I checked the surveillance video. Please take a look. It's very weird."
Li Shaohui pulled the progress bar forward and then made room for Liu Jun.
Liu Jun stared at the screen and glanced at the time. It was a little after 10 o'clock last night.
Then, figures began to appear on the surveillance screen.
A dozen people lined up in a row, hunched over and quickly approached the store entrance.
"A thief?"
Liu Jun frowned slightly, but the next moment, a strange scene happened.
This group of people had no motive to pick the lock at all. Instead, they banged the shop door with their foreheads in an orderly manner.
Knock one down, and the next one follows.
Liu Jun sped up the progress bar and knocked down seven or eight people, but the people behind him had no intention of stopping at all.
Seeing this, Liu Jun suddenly looked thoughtful and thought about the death of the body in the coffin.
No wonder they had obvious bruises and blood on their foreheads... So that's what was going on.
But the key question is, these people didn't pick the lock, but pretended to be unconscious at the door. How did the body appear in the funeral home?
Did someone unlock the door and put the body in, or did something strange happen?
Just like...Li Xiaohui and Gong Dashan's self-mutilation...
Thinking of this, Liu Jun pressed the pause button without hesitation, looked at Li Shaohui and said, "Have you seen the rest?"
“No.” Li Shaohui shook his head quickly, and then added, “Master, I was the first one to see this surveillance video. When I walked in, the store employees had just turned on the camera.”
"Okay, I'll look at the rest when I get back."
Liu Jun nodded, turned his head and looked at the store manager Zhao behind him and said, "Xiao Zhao, you have seen the situation. More than a dozen lives have been lost. Although you are employees of the store, it is not convenient for you to see the surveillance footage at the moment. We will announce the results of the investigation once they come out."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Zhao nodded quickly.
He naturally understood what Liu Jun meant. To be honest, he was a little hesitant to watch the following scenes.
Seeing that the other party had no objection, Liu Jun quickly turned off the computer, called colleagues from the Security Bureau's technical department for help, and then he and Li Shaohui conducted a careful inspection in the store.
Twenty minutes later.
Two colleagues from the Technical Department arrived at the scene. After Liu Jun explained the situation, the Technical Department took action on the spot.
Before leaving, all the hard drives and surveillance cameras of Changhong Funeral were removed.
After Liu Jun and Lao Hu led the team to inspect the scene, all employees of Changhong Funeral Store were temporarily asked to return to the Security Bureau.
Finally, the Changhong Funeral Store was temporarily blocked and a team of people was left to manage it.
…
Thirty minutes later.
Xiaoshan Office.
The only surveillance video of Changhong Funeral Home last night is now in Xiaoshan’s computer.
Due to Liu Jun's strong dissuasion, people outside Xiaoshan are temporarily not allowed to watch the surveillance video.
After careful consideration, Xiaoshan decided to ask Liu Jun and his apprentice to watch together.
After all, Changhong Funeral Home has always been very weird, and the murder case this time must be even more weird.
Liu Jun and his apprentice often follow Liu Jun to investigate cases, and they are the people who know Zhang Fan best in the Security Bureau, so bringing them along is not afraid of leaks, and secondly, it makes it easier to find clues.
The video started playing, and the three people in front of the screen frowned at the same time.
Without any fast forwarding, the three of them watched it carefully for more than twenty minutes.
It was not until the last person fell that Xiao Shan spoke up, "Killed alive? The body was last seen in the store? Did someone move the body? Have all the store employees brought it back now?"
Liu Jun nodded and said, "I've brought them back, Chief. Keep looking. I suspect that these bodies... have not been touched by anyone."
As the two talked, the scene in the video began to become strange.
Changhong Funeral's surveillance system has night vision capabilities and the footage is very clear.
After this group of people fell to the ground, black mist inexplicably rose from the ground.
The black fog surrounded the store entrance, swirling around and completely blocking the surveillance view.
Seeing this, Xiao Shan's brows were already furrowed, and various disguise methods kept flashing through his mind.
But then, the scenes in the video completely changed his mind.
I saw that after the black fog dissipated.
A large number of paper people appeared in front of the Changhong Funeral Shop.
Moreover, these paper figures are alive and can move!
At this time, Li Shaohui exclaimed: "Master, the door of this shop is opened! Could it be opened by the paper man?"
"Um?"
Xiaoshan's Liu Jun and the other man quickly shifted their gaze.
My attention was completely focused on the paper man and I didn't notice the changes in the store door at all.
Just as Li Shaohui said, Changhong Funeral Service has already opened its doors wide at this time.
"this……"
Just as the two were stunned, a coffin was slowly carried out of the store.
The coffin bearers are also paper figures.
"This...paper figurines carrying coffins?!"
Seeing this, the three of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
If the paper figure can move, it may be operated by strings.
But it is too weird that a small paper man can lift a coffin!
Coffins were carried out of the store and lined up neatly on the roadside.
"Master, could it be that these corpses were carried in by paper figures?!"
Li Shaohui was surprised and pressed the pause button on his own initiative: "Master, leader, look, these paper figures... have eyes."
"hiss……"
Xiao Shan frowned and looked at Liu Jun and said, "Old Liu, are you sure that this surveillance video you got is not a film or TV work?"
"No, there are absolutely no signs of production. Changhong Funeral is so weird!" Liu Jun shook his head.
"This..." Xiao Shan hesitated for a moment, but still believed Liu Jun's words, and shook his head and said, "Strange, this matter should not be our turn to investigate."
As he spoke, Xiao Shan pressed the space bar and continued reading.
However, the subsequent development of the video was completely beyond their expectations.
I saw a thin figure in the crowd, who seemed to be able to move.
He stood up suddenly and then got into a coffin without hesitation.
The paper people looked at him one after another, seemingly not taking it seriously, but they did not touch the body.
They brought in batches of electronic products from nowhere.
Various wiring harnesses were continuously placed on Tianxiazhi members.
"This... what is this for?" Xiao Shan was confused. What the hell... is this a science fiction movie or a horror movie?
"Yes... it is detecting the declared characteristics..."
Liu Jun muttered to himself in disbelief: "There were ten bodies in total. In one of the coffins, I found a manual for the life sign detector... I thought it was accidentally dropped. Who would have thought that... the paper man would use this thing?!"
"ah?"
The three continued to look down.
After the paper man conducted a comprehensive physical examination on all the members of Tianxiazhi, he threw out the handsome guy who got into the coffin first.
Afterwards, the paper artists began to put lifeless people into coffins.
"Bai Xiaotong! I've seen this person at Changhong Funeral Home. He's the president of the Tianxia Zhigong Association." Li Shaohui glared and said, "What does this mean... Paper people carrying coffins, but they don't accept living people? They only accept dead people?"
