I tore off the ghost paper pasted on my face, feeling very unlucky. After entering this crematorium, I suddenly felt that the hustle and bustle of the world had left me. In fact, the crematorium is more neat and tidy than ordinary office buildings. If it weren't for the dead air, I almost thought I had entered a high-end office area.
The building of the crematorium is very new, and it is divided into areas, such as the memorial building, the crematorium and so on. However, the building of the crematorium is a bit different from the general place. In this tall building, there is a row of three unremarkable small bungalows. I heard that these three bungalows are not a storage room, nor a parking garage. The doors are closed all the year round, and there are unclaimed corpses inside. There are all kinds of corpses, all kinds of tragic deaths, and all kinds of ages. So from the big yard of the crematorium, the three bungalows were full of resentment.
At this time, there was a burst of crying from the incinerator. Some people are sending their loved ones away.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown. Parting from life to death is the most helpless thing in the world. Whenever faced with such a scene, I think anyone will feel particularly depressed and awkward. But I still came to look for the burner, so I had to bite the bullet and walk in the direction of the incinerator.
I walked over and asked the staff about Lu Yiming, and someone pointed me in the direction immediately, saying that he was working at the low-grade furnace, and then pointed to the general area.
I thought to myself that this Lu Yiming is an old employee of the crematorium, how did he get so mixed up with some low-grade furnace now. I know that crematorium incinerators are graded. Low-grade furnace, medium-grade furnace and high-grade furnace. Mid-range furnaces and high-grade furnaces have been modernized in science and technology, and are all computer-controlled. However, in order to save costs, the low-end furnace is still a manual service. There will be a corpse burner who will push the dead into the incinerator, then close the furnace door, fill in the coal and start burning.
When I was walking towards the low-grade incinerator area, someone suddenly stopped me: "Hey, who are you? The family members of the deceased please go to the memorial building for memorial activities. The front is the incineration area, and non-staff members are not allowed to enter!"
I looked back and saw a young man calling me behind me, who was supposed to be a crematorium worker. So I took out my police ID and showed it to him. The man's expression softened immediately, and he said, "So it's Comrade Police. But, what are you doing here?"
I smiled and said, "I'm looking for a master burner, he should be here. His name is Lu Yiming."
"He?" The young man sighed and shook his head.
I saw that the young man's expression was quite meaningful, so I smiled and said, "What's the name of this little brother?"
The young man smiled and said, "My name is Chen Chong." As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to me: "Do you smoke? It's a pity that it's not a good cigarette, Huangshan."
I waved my hand and smiled, "I don't smoke, thank you. Why, what's wrong with Master Lu?"
Chen Chong took a puff of cigarette and said, "It's okay, it's just him. He's not in the right mood recently. Master Lu is a man of few words and doesn't like to talk to us, so it's not good for others to stay here by himself." I want to stay in the low-end incinerator area. You know, now that everything is technologically advanced, the high-end furnace is controlled by computers, which is hygienic and saves effort. You still have to come here in person, and you have to stay with dead bodies if you are tired together."
I was very anxious to see him talking nonsense, but I could only listen patiently. It seems that this guy wants to give me some gossip, maybe I can get a comprehensive understanding of this corpse burner. After all, he was involved in an old murder case.
I only heard Chen Chong continue to say: "Master Lu probably chose this low-grade furnace because he can't operate a computer, but the more reason is that he doesn't want to be with us. He is very dull, he doesn't talk, and he was cremated a long time ago. He doesn't have any expression on his face at ordinary times, and he doesn't feel anything when he sees a horrible dead person. But something happened a few days ago that seemed to frighten him."
"Oh? What would scare a man who's been a burner for so many years?" I asked.
"A few days ago a new worker came in, named Lao Shen. When he was working with Master Lu (burning people), a strange thing happened. I heard that when the two of them pushed the dead man in, they felt that the dead man was alive. Of course, that person can't be alive. It was a migrant worker who died in a car accident, and his family couldn't afford too much funeral expenses, so he was sent to a low-grade furnace for incineration. The two thought it might be a fraudulent corpse, Occasionally, this kind of evil thing will happen, so I don¡¯t care, just push it forward. But at that time, I heard that the two of them heard the people in the stove howling wildly, as if they were roasting a living person alive The newcomer was a little scared, so Master Lu took a look in the eyes of Xiaolu, but the newcomer Lao Shen said that after reading it, Master Lu's face became quite ugly. Lao Shen didn't dare to take a closer look?But I could hear the sound inside the stove, mixed with the sound of beating on the stove door. Until the fire was extinguished, Lao Shen didn't dare to open the furnace door. Master Lu opened it himself, and it seems that he also cleaned the incinerator. I don't know what he saw, but his face has been ugly since then. "
"Clean the incinerator?" I asked puzzled.
"That's right, our staff often clean up, and a lot of human oil will be left after incinerating the corpses, but our place is quite clean. There are low, medium and high-grade incinerators. The medium and high-end incinerators come out with whole corpses, which is convenient for you to pick. .If you have any needs, please contact us." Said, this guy handed me a business card.
Damn, it turned out that the chat for a long time was to solicit business. I felt unlucky and didn't ask for his business card. I thought nonsense for a long time, but there was nothing useful. I was about to turn around and leave when Chen Chong suddenly said, "Comrade policeman, I remembered something again."
I said impatiently: "Don't tell me these ghosts and monsters. I don't have time to listen."
Chen Chong said: "This incident is really strange. A few days ago, we burned a staff member to death, that is, the corpse burner. That was a young man with a lot of courage, so we arranged him to work with Master Lu. This young man In broad daylight, I got into the stove to play with nothing, thinking that maybe I wanted to make a joke with our colleagues. As a prank, the low-grade furnace is not very advanced. In fact, advanced means that the speed of burning people is faster and the failure is less. As a result, the young man After I got in, the furnace door closed by itself, and it was lit and boiled without anyone touching it. As a result, a large number of people were burned to death inside. It was too late when Master Lu found out. This is too evil, I will go too I have seen it. It is said that the stove has been used for a long time, and I lit the fire when I saw people go in. But when Master Lu opened the door, there was a strange pattern in the door. I can¡¯t tell what the pattern is, like Flowers. But that thing looks like it was drawn with human blood. It¡¯s so strange. You said that people were burned to death, even if they were painted before they died, how could he have the mood to draw this.¡±
"Flowers?" The more I listened, the more dizzy I became, but the only thing I understood was that this burner seemed a little mysterious. I was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so I quickly took the opportunity to get away and find Lu Yiming. The moment I left, this guy was still yelling: "Hey, comrade police, go slowly! Remember to find me if you need it!! I will give you a 20% discount!! By the way, I will give you a set of free remnants!!"
Immediately, I wanted to take out my pistol and shoot him, and send him directly into the incinerator. Those who run business can't afford to be injured now. Before I had walked a few steps, I saw a few people who looked like peasants gathered together, each with a mournful face. Then a burly man came out and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Whose family's ashes, come and get them!!"
Immediately, a group of people rushed to cry. I saw the person carrying the urn put the ashes on the ground, and the family members of the deceased next to them moved the urn they had bought. I saw the man holding the ashes, first opened the urn, spread a piece of gold-plated tinfoil inside, then poured all the ashes from the iron drawer, and finally covered it with a silver-plated one. The meaning of this is probably "spreading gold and covering silver".
I reckon this man is Lu Yiming. So, he took a closer look at his appearance. I saw that Lu Yiming was tall and tall, in his forties, but his appearance was a bit ugly. Um, or really ugly. The facial features are a bit distorted, the eyes are small, and there are bumps on every flat place on the face. When serious, the corners of the mouth droop, making it even more terrifying.
I thought to myself, no wonder being a corpse burner, this appearance is quite warding off evil spirits. After the relatives of the deceased dispersed, I went to Lu Yiming. Lu Yiming took off his gloves, looked at me coldly, and asked, "Who are you?"
I smiled and said, "Excuse me, Master Lu? I'm a policeman from the Municipal Bureau." As I spoke, I flashed my police ID card. The expression on Lu Yiming's face remained unchanged, and he was still not very polite to me: "What's the matter?"
Seeing no one around, I asked bluntly, "Have you ever heard of the name Man Sumei?"
"Man Sumei?" Lu Yiming thought for a while and said, "No."
"So, more than ten years ago, did you bury the ashes of two unclaimed bodies?" I asked.
After hearing this, Lu Yiming suddenly looked at me blankly, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "How do you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know, let me ask you, how did they die, and who asked you to burn the bones?" I asked.
Lu Yiming sighed, and said, "Come in and talk." So I followed him out of the incineration area and into his small office that doubles as a lounge.
"In the past, there was indeed a man who sent the corpses of his wife and son and gave me a lot of money. He sent them in the middle of the night and asked me to cremate them immediately. He even gave me a red envelope. I cremated the remains that night. But, wait After the cremation, I didn't find the man again, and during this process, he actually left." Lu Yiming said.
