The coffin in front of him was lying in the ditch. The lid of the coffin had opened at some point, and there was a woman lying inside.
The woman was not very old, only about twenty-one or twenty-two.
Were those scraps chaff?
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng shouted,""Stop fighting. If anyone is fighting, call the police and arrest them!”
"Chief Ning, it seems like the coffin carrier accidentally slipped, and the coffin lid fell off because the nails weren't nailed properly. The girl inside was very young, but her black hair covered her face, and her mouth seemed to be stuffed with chaff!”
When he heard this, Ning Zhongyuan was in disbelief. Hanzhou City's funeral reform was in progress. The reason why the dead had not been cremated was probably because the system had not been fully covered. However, wasn't it a little too much to say that she had black hair on her face and chaff in her mouth? Wasn't this the method that ancient society used to hate and profane the dead? The girl in the coffin was only twenty-one or twenty-two years old. How much hatred did her family have for her to do this?
Ning Zhongyuan's expression turned grave when he saw the corpse. He picked up his phone and called Zeng Tianhua.
"Old Zeng, I encountered something on the way. There's a funeral team fighting on the highway to the airport. I don't have much time left. I have to rush to the airport. Moreover, the coffin for the funeral has fallen over. There's a girl inside. She has black hair on her face and chaff stuffed in her mouth. It's a little strange.”
Zeng Tianhua frowned when he received Ning Zhongyuan's call.""Alright, I'll get the direct branch or the police station to go over and take a look.”
"No, what I mean is to let Qian Feng come over first and see what that girl did to deserve such treatment after her death. What era was it already, yet there was still such a strong feudal bad habit. Most importantly, judging from the exposed skin of the corpse, it had stopped for at least ten days. A young lady stopping for so many days felt a little abnormal.”
Ning Zhongyuan and Zeng Tianhua were classmates, but Ning Zhongyuan was working in Jingzhou while Zeng Tianhua was in Hanzhou. There was a huge difference in their ranks.
"Alright, I'll send Qian Feng over immediately. I won't delay your journey." Zeng Tianhua said seriously.”
Zeng Tianhua instructed Qian Feng, who rushed to the scene immediately.
Ning Zhongyuan looked at the time again. Seeing that he could not stay any longer, he said to Qian Feng,"Understand them well. If there are no problems, let them calm down and send the deceased up the mountain.”
Qian Feng nodded heavily. Ning Zhongyuan continued to sit in the car. However, the car started to move again, but Ning Zhongyuan kept frowning.
Wang Cheng, who was in the passenger seat, had been searching for something on her phone. Then, she saw what she wanted to know and said,"Chief Ning, if I'm not mistaken, that village is Sanqing Village. There was indeed a tradition in the village that when young people died, they would be buried at night. It was said that young people had a lot of resentment when they died, and it was unlucky to be buried during the day. However, there was a different explanation for black hair covering one's face and chaff stuffed in one's mouth. Some people said that she died for no reason. Perhaps she had done evil and received retribution, so she had to cover her face and seal her mouth to prevent others from hearing her when she went to hell.”
"This is simply nonsense. What era is it now that there are still such foolish bad habits? It's a pity that I'm not an official of Hanzhou. Otherwise, I would definitely ask the city or even the province for advice!”
Wang Cheng smiled bitterly and did not say much. However, when he saw that Ning Zhongyuan was still frowning, he advised,"Chief Ning, you don't have to be angry about this. Life and death are determined by fate, Chief Zeng can handle it.”
"Yes, I was just wondering if that girl died unjustly? Only young people who died for no reason would be like that. If the death was unclear, then it would have to be investigated. How could society allow a person to die for no reason? He just didn't know how far this case would go.”
Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said,""Chief Ning, do you mean that this case will be investigated by Lin Chuan in the end?”
"If it can be raised to this level, then I'm interested in understanding it. If it weren't for us, no one would have mentioned what happened tonight after that fight.”
As they spoke, the car had already driven onto the airport highway. Ning Zhongyuan no longer thought about the woman in the coffin. Not long after, he arrived at the airport and boarded a flight back to Jingzhou.
On the provincial road, after Qian Feng finished understanding, he looked at the female corpse in the coffin and felt a chill in his heart.
Hence, he asked a middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes,""You're the father of the deceased. How did your daughter die?”
Qian Feng frowned when he heard that." He died for no reason? There's no reason?"”
"His entire body is fine. Of course, he died for no reason!”
"Then the funeral can't be carried out. Since the cause of the death is unknown, we naturally need to investigate it clearly before we can conclude. Men, take the corpse out of the coffin and send it to the Municipal Bureau's identification center to find out the cause!”Qian Feng said.
"Police officer, do you want me to dissect him?" asked the deceased's father.”
"How can we find out the cause if we don't dissect it?”
"That won't do. If we dissect him, won't he die without a complete corpse? No, this is definitely not possible!"
Not only the father of the deceased, but even the other relatives of the deceased also stood up. It was as if they would fight to the death if anyone dared to take the corpse away for an autopsy!
