"Okay, Secretary, I'll go with you!"
Qin Zhenbei reacted immediately. It was just right that they also wanted to see clearly what kind of funeral this was.
Jiang Manyue was worried, so she took advantage of the secretary leaving the office to call the police using her landline.
The four of them followed him to the funeral. It was noon time.
There were already seven or eight tables set up outside the Liu family's yard, and the chef was busy in the kitchen.
A white sail was hung at the gate of the yard, and the people who came one after another were all villagers from the village.
"You two are here!" The secretary went forward to pay his respects with a smile.
Jiang Manyue saw the red lacquer coffin in the main hall of the house at a glance.
There was a photo on the mourning hall, and the man in the photo was in his fifties.
This is the deceased eldest son of the Liu family. He has been dead for seven days but has not been buried yet.
Qin Zhenbei found that the coffin seemed to be wrong. It was much wider than a normal coffin.
'Crackle!'
At this time, the sound of firecrackers rang out and the funeral began.
Dozens of villagers sat down to eat the banquet, and it was very lively with the sound of trumpets and singing.
In order not to alert the enemy, Qin Zhenbei and Jiang Manyue found a place to sit down.
In the dining area, several villagers began to murmur.
"Oh, Boss Liu died a tragic death. I heard he was drowned."
"That's right. It's a shame that he never got married until he died in order to support his two younger brothers."
"It's okay. If I didn't marry her while I was alive, I'd be fine if I could marry her after I die."
"Shh!" The person next to him subconsciously lowered his voice and reminded: "Stop talking. Don't tell others about this kind of thing."
Jiang Manyue was eating, but she could still hear their discussions.
The dead man also got married. It turned out that there was something wrong with the coffin.
After the meal, the funeral procession was ready.
The two brothers of the Liu family were wearing mourning clothes and holding photos in their hands.
"Fellow villagers, it's time for the funeral!"
Everyone stood up, and four tall men went forward to lift the coffin.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Qin Zhenbei suddenly stopped him loudly.
Everyone looked at him and saw him immediately walk to the side of the coffin.
I pressed hard on the edge of the coffin and heard a dull thud.
The coffin fell heavily to the ground. What Qin Zhenbei had just doubted was now completely confirmed.
He said righteously: "This coffin cannot be buried!"
When the Liu brothers saw that it was Qin Zhenbei, their eyes flickered with nervousness.
But he quickly calmed down and said, "Who are you? You are not from our village!"
Liu Erhai pointed at him and Jiang Manyue: "Aren't you from Chenjia Village?"
"You came to my house and made trouble, and you even tried to stop my eldest brother from being buried. What are your intentions?"
"What?" The village secretary finally realized, "Aren't you friends of Boss Liu?"
"Friend? I'm not here to offer condolences, I'm here to find someone!"
Qin Zhenbei then looked at the coffin: "That is Liu Guifen who married into Chenjia Village from your village."
"What?" Everyone sighed: "Isn't Liu Guifen dead?"
"Yeah, I heard he died before the New Year. It seems he died of illness!"
"According to the time, he should have been buried. Why are you here looking for him?"
Judging from some people's evasive eyes, it seems that many people in the village know the inside story.
Qin Zhenbei pointed at the pipe and said, "The person is indeed dead, but he was not buried but here!"
The Liu brothers were horrified and immediately stepped forward to deny it: "Don't talk nonsense."
"This is my eldest brother. How could that Liu Guifen be here?"
"We need to bury him immediately now. You can't afford to miss the auspicious time."
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're an officer. Get out of my house right now!"
Jiang Manyue pulled the two children to block the road: "Hand him over or you won't be able to pass."
"I heard that there was a custom in feudal society called ghost marriage. I never thought that such a bad custom would still exist in this modern society."
"You know that stealing and selling corpses is a crime. You must hand the person over today."
"Otherwise, I will arrest both of you and put you in jail immediately."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, especially those who knew the inside story, all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
The Liu brothers had dark faces, and it seemed that there was no way to bury the body today.
But if we let them go, they will inevitably go out and talk nonsense or call the police.
By then everything was exposed, and the two looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"We haven't seen Liu Guifen's body. How dare you make such a claim without any evidence?"
"You people from other villages, please stop meddling in other people's business here. Believe it or not, you will come here alive but leave dead!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen relatives of the Liu family gathered around.
These villagers didn't care about any laws and came forward fiercely with shovels in their hands.
Poor and bad mountains and rivers produce unruly people, and these people don't care about any laws.
What she said just now had completely infuriated them, and she was about to take ruthless action against them.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Zhigang and Xiaofang were frightened and burst into tears on the spot: "Mom, give mom back to us!"
The secretary saw that the two sides were in a stalemate and knew that if this continued, someone would be killed.
"No, don't do it!" He stepped forward quickly: "This is Captain Qin of the military district!"
"Liu brothers, don't be impulsive. If anything goes wrong, you will be in big trouble!"
"I don't care what kind of commander he is. Even if the commander comes, he can't prevent my brother from being buried!"
The Liu brothers were not well educated and had bad tempers and would not listen to any advice.
