Weird Sequence: Immortality Begins from Chinese Martial Arts

Chapter 74 Weird things in the mourning hall

It was still ten o'clock in the morning, the sky was gray, overcast and cold.

There was no need for Jiang You to look carefully for the house number. There was a cordon at the entrance of the alley, and a group of neighbors were surrounding it on both sides, chatting in confusion.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"You don't know yet? I heard there's a corpse inside!"

"Old Mrs. Zhu? You can't. In what age are you still pretending to be a corpse?"

"The suffering master said it himself, and he started shouting about it in the middle of the night last night!"

"Yes, I just fell asleep last night when I heard howlings of ghosts and foxes outside. I was in a state of panic. I heard there were also people dead?"

"Who died?"

The old man was about to say something when he was interrupted by the police officer next to him, "What nonsense are you spreading! It's about home invasions and robberies, fake corpses, what kind of corpses are you trying to fake? I know these feudal superstitions day by day, they're all gone, gone!" "

The police officer waved repeatedly, but the onlookers just stepped back a few steps, lowered their voices, and continued to whisper to each other. From time to time, they would pull their necks and peek into the alley.

There was a low roar of an engine in the distance, and a young man with medium-long hair, carrying a stone sword behind his back, came quickly on a motorcycle. With a harsh brake sound, the young man got out of the car and parked the car. On the side of the road, walk toward the alley.

"Hey! Hey! You don't have eyes. Didn't you see the cordon? You're still going in, stop!"

Jiang You didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he took out a card with red letters on a black background and slapped it in the police officer's face, "Do you know him?"

The police officer opened his eyes wide and saw the words "Third Investigation Bureau" written on it. Below was Jiang You's name and photo. He immediately took out his phone and pulled up a picture. After comparing it carefully, he immediately changed it to a picture. Smiley face said, "You must be a comrade from the Investigation Bureau. I've been waiting for you. Come in quickly." As he said this, he diligently pulled up the cordon.

Jiang You glanced at him indifferently, crossed the cordon, and walked towards the alley.

The people behind were still whispering.

"What kind of unit is this investigation bureau? I've never heard of it!"

"This young man is carrying a sword on his back. He can't be a Taoist priest, right?"

"Old Wang, the comrades from the Investigation Bureau are here!" the police officer behind him shouted, and three police officers immediately came out of a house in front of him. Seeing Jiang You, they walked over quickly, and the leader extended his hand.

Jiang You shook hands with him and said, "Hello, I am Jiang You. I have been assigned full responsibility for this case."

"Hello, Investigator Jiang, we are from the Wutong District Police Station. We have been notified by the superiors and we promise to fully cooperate with you. This matter is very serious. Please go in and take a look!"

Jiang You and the remaining two people nodded and walked into the door together.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a few middle-aged people wearing sackcloth and mourning in the yard, sitting on the horse with red eyes and smoking tiredly. When he saw the police coming in surrounded by Jiang You, they surrounded him.

"Officer, is this the person we are waiting for?"

"This is Investigator Jiang, who is specially sent to handle your matters. You guys must cooperate well!"

A middle-aged man nodded quickly, "Investigator Jiang, I've sent you here." The man took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Jiang You. Jiang You took it, and the man's anger quickly caught up and handed it to Jiang You. You lit up the cigarette, and then the man handed out cigarettes to the three policemen.

Jiang You took a deep breath, exhaled a stream of blue smoke and asked, "Tell me everything you know!"

The man nodded, and a look of fear flashed across his face, "Last night, we three brothers sent our friend who came to express condolences to the door. We found that the eldest sister was not there. We thought she was in the mourning hall, so we went inside. We were looking for the eldest sister. When we went in, we found that the house was dark and the lights were out. We lit the lights. We couldn’t find the eldest sister in the house, so we called her. The ringtone rang in the house. We searched around and found that the ringtone was actually there. It came from the coffin!”

When he said this, the policeman beside him took a deep breath. Even though this was the second time he heard it, he still felt a chill in his back. After working as a police officer for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such an evil case.

"Then what?" Jiang You asked expressionlessly.

"Of course we opened the coffin quickly, but who knew, it would be inside."

At this time, the man's red eyes were filled with tears, and two lines of clear tears flowed down. He was choked with sobs and could not speak completely.

The brother on the side quickly rubbed his back to comfort him.

"What did you see in the coffin?"

The policeman next to him sighed, "Investigator Jiang, you'd better go inside and see for yourself."

The man squatted on the ground and covered his face and cried bitterly. The three of them walked around the man and entered the house. The mourning hall was in a mess. The photos on the altar table fell on the table. The tribute fruits were scattered on the ground. A white candle was also poured out. .

"The coffin is right behind you. Go and take a look. We won't follow you," the policeman said.

Jiang You walked directly towards the coffin. The lid of the coffin was tilted halfway, exposing a corner. As soon as Jiang You got closer, he smelled a familiar odor. This was the corpse odor emitted by the dead.

He grabbed the coffin lid with one hand, flipped it to the ground, and looked inside.

A female corpse looked directly at him with her eyes wide open. She was lying on her back with a horrified expression. There were several scratches on her clothes. The blood all over her body had turned black. She had one hand on her lower abdomen and was pressed underneath. A mobile phone with a black screen, half of the face's flesh disappeared, the gums were exposed, and there were bite marks on the edges.

The original owner of the coffin, Mrs. Zhu, has disappeared.

Jiang You has seen a lot of corpses that died tragically in the past few days, and most of them were caused by his own hands. Facing this sudden female corpse was not enough to change his color. He calmly observed and found that the corpse was lying on the ground. There were messy scratches on the coffin board on the ground, as if someone had scratched it with fingernails.

He squatted down and quickly scratched the pad of his index finger with his thumb nail, and a few drops of blood flowed out. He touched the scratch with his index finger. Sure enough, it made a sizzling sound, but it soon recovered. Although the remaining strange energy had been there for some time, it couldn't even be consumed by a few drops of Jiang You's blood, which allowed him to judge the approximate strength of this strange thing.

The few people waiting at the door did not hear the expected exclamations, and thought to themselves, "He is indeed a professional, and his psychological quality is not something he can boast about."

Soon I saw Jiang You coming out. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang You took the lead and came to the courtyard.

"Clear the area! Now all personnel are waiting at the entrance of the alley."

Dai Xiao's family asked: "Investigator, do you have any conclusion?"

"I probably know what's going on. I can't tell you yet. I'll just cooperate with my work now."

The police officers present were all told by their superiors to cooperate with the investigators unconditionally. Of course, they would not question it at this time. Instead, they were glad that they could stay out of the matter. When something like this happened, even staying in this yard made them feel uncomfortable.

After everyone had gone out, only Jiang You was left in the yard.

He took out the Victory Evil Sword on his back and looked towards the mourning hall.

There was a glint in his eyes.

"Tongyou!"
