Chapter 316 Man in Leather Clothes
Ma Lu drove to the place Lao Hei mentioned, which was a funeral parlor on the outskirts of the city.
It is now past 11 o'clock in the evening, and the funeral home has already finished get off work. It is no longer busy during the day and seems very quiet in the dark night.
However, through the door, you can see sporadic light coming from inside, and it is obvious that someone is still on duty.
And just before Malu and his party arrived, a dark blue car drove in. It should be transporting corpses. For example, corpses transported after get off work will be charged 50% more than during the day. fare.
However, external vehicles obviously cannot enter.
Ma Lu dialed the number Lao Hei gave him. About ten minutes later, a man about 40 years old wearing a brown leather jacket walked out of the door.
He looked at Malu and the wandering warlock with vigilant eyes, and then looked around again to make sure there was no one else before he lowered his voice and said, "Where is the body?"
"In the trunk "Inside." Ma Lu said as he opened the trunk of es8.
The scene inside made the leather-clad man startled.
I saw an object wrapped in tinfoil and so entangled that it was unrecognizable, leaning on the folded back seat.
“Why are you wrapping so much tin foil? Are you planning to marinate it and put it in the oven?”
“This is a new car, brother.”
For Ma Lu also tried his best to prevent blood from getting on the car he just bought, but the materials at hand were really limited.
Since he couldn't find a body bag, not even a large plastic bag, he had no choice but to wrap the body in a few boxes of tinfoil left in the car according to local conditions.
Malu then handed over a plastic bag and said, "Here."
Because it was very dark, the man in leather clothes didn't see what was inside at first. It wasn't until he took it into his hand that he realized it was a head.
I couldn't help being surprised again, "Your car is not quite big, why did you pack it separately?"
"Didn't I tell you, we were attacked on the road, Uncle Zheng's head It’s gone.”
“Where’s Lao Hei?”
"He looked very weak among the pile of tinfoil. On the way, I asked him what song he wanted to listen to, but he didn't answer me." Get on this corpse and follow me," the man in leather said.
"Okay." Although Malu said this, he did not move and looked at the duty booth not far away.
As if he knew what he was thinking, the man in leather said, "Don't worry, I am one of my own, I have the final say in this place."
Then the two of them started to lift one end of the body.
The sorceress was not very interested in helping the corpse insect change its body, and chose to stay in the car and continue to enjoy the massage and heating. Ma Lu followed the man in leather, and the two of them passed through a small square, walked along the corridor next to it, and finally walked outside a small house.
The man in leather clothes opened the door, and there were more than twenty stainless steel cabinets inside. There were numbers on the cabinets. It looked like they should be a morgue.
However, the man in leather did not stop and continued to walk forward. When he came to a cabinet, he motioned to Malu to put the body on the ground first. He went over and moved the cabinet away, exposing the back. a small door.
Ma Lu let out a sigh.
The leather-clad man said proudly, "In fact, the corpses in the morgue cannot be moved, because the family members have to say goodbye to the body before cremation, so what I really collect are the corpses after cremation.
" The safest thing is to drop the package when entering the cremator. I built a mechanism on the cremator. When the time comes, I will use bones similar to cattle and sheep to replace the originally burned corpse. Anyway, even if it is burned to ashes, even the closest people will not be able to recognize it. . "
Ma Lu tutted, "This is too despicable. During the holidays, everyone comes to pay homage to their loved ones and express their condolences. The food they offer and the paper money they burn are all in vain, so those cattle and sheep are cheap. . "
When he thought of the widows crying over a box of sheep bone meal, the children calling daddy to the cow bone meal, and the younger generation using beef jerky to commemorate the cattle that died in the slaughterhouse, Malu's expression also changed. It got weird.
But the man in the leather jacket still spoke plausibly, "No one will actually open it and look at it. It doesn't matter what is in the box. Even if it is real, they can't receive the paper money or food." . After a while, when the body is no longer usable, we will quietly replace the ashes. ”
"Really?" Malu asked suspiciously.
"Well... I change it occasionally when I'm in a good mood. After all, it's troublesome to dig holes and fill them back and forth. In the end, as long as no one talks about it, it won't have any impact. Besides, our cemetery is sold cheaper than others, and we have already paid for the use of the corpse.”
“And hasn’t the government been advocating low-carbon economy and internal circulation during this period? We are also here. You're responding to the country's call."
"Internal circulation doesn't let you recycle corpses," Ma Lu looked at the man in leather. "Speaking of which, are you also a corpse-carrying insect? You opened this place just to have corpses. A funeral home?"
To his surprise, the man in leather clothes shook his head, "I am not a corpse parasite. Although corpse parasites can repair corpses to a certain extent and restore basic functions, the appearance of a body A particularly good corpse can only be used by the zombies for three or four years at most. If you keep changing your identity, you won't be able to run a serious business. "
"As for the boss, strictly speaking I am only one of the partners. There is a big boss above me, but he has many businesses, and the funeral home is just one of them. He can only come here twice a year, so he leaves it to me. Reasonable."
As he spoke, the man in leather lifted Uncle Zheng's body and stepped into the small door.
Ma Lu followed him. The layout inside was similar to the outside, except that the area was smaller, less than half. There were only a dozen stainless steel cabinets, and there were two small tables. .
The man in leather clothes carried the body on one of the tables and peeled off the layers of tinfoil wrapped around it.
Then he picked up the notepad on the other table and flipped through two pages, "Let me see... There was a girl who was just cremated yesterday afternoon. She was only 19 years old. It is said that she jumped into the river because of relationship problems. , the body is in good condition, I collected it, it’s an advantage over Lao Hei.”
"Wait, is there a problem with women?" Ma Lu said.
"What's the problem? There is no gender distinction in the Corpse Bug race. That guy, Lao Hei, had lived as a hostess for two years before and was active in various nightclubs in City B.
“I also went to see him sing a song, and he generously touched his thigh for me without taking any money. At that time, I thought he was a good friend. It was because of this friendship that this time he said He was in trouble and was being hunted, so I found an uncremated body to lend him in case of emergency without saying a word.
“But I didn’t expect that he would use him so badly.” The man in leather sighed as he looked at the headless corpse on the table.
