13 Mink Street Chapter 12

　　 "The royal family, nobles, dukes, luxurious, noble and generous...Golden coffins."

　　 "Elegant, restrained, calm, intelligent, wise and calm... Light wind coffin."

　　 In the living room,

　　 Karen was sitting on the small sofa and flipping through the "coffin color book" at home.

　　 I read the two most expensive coffins in the color book earlier. The adjectives in front are added one set after another to form a series. The prices are 2.25 million rupee and 2.5 million rupee respectively.

　　 Why is the light wind coffin more expensive than the golden coffin, probably, this is the price of "elegance".

　　 Uncle Mason told himself that the price on the color book has been reduced by five times, which is the purchase cost price, but this is the case. A 450,000 renminbi and a 500,000 renminbi are also a huge number.

　　 If Karen remembers correctly, 500,000 RUB is enough to buy a three-bedroom and one-living property in a good location in the city;

　　 Alas, in the world of truly rich people, this is really a coffin for a house.

"coffee."

　　 "Thank you auntie."

　　 Aunt Winnie put the coffee on the coffee table and sat on the small sofa opposite.

　　 "Relaxing these days, right?" Aunt Winnie asked.

　　 "Hmm." Karen nodded. Mina and the others need to go to school, but they don't use it. Therefore, he has been responsible for cooking these days, which refreshed the family's knowledge of food.

　　 He even made a special meal of "boiled beef" the day before yesterday. The family's acceptance of spicy food is actually quite acceptable, especially Uncle Mason ate that was extremely happy. As a result, Uncle Mason walked crappy the next day.

　　 Hemorrhoids committed.

　　 In addition to cooking, he actually has nothing else to do.

　　 Although Grandpa didn't help him regain his school status, he got himself a set of high school textbooks and tutoring books.

　　Except for the history book Karen occasionally turns over, the rest of the books are really of little value to him.

　　 "It should be busy after a while. There are two elderly people in the Huashuiwan Nursing Home who are unwell. There are several critically ill patients in the two nearby hospitals that we cooperate with;

　　 There is also a believer lying at home in the church.

　　 At that time, I will recommend your psychological consultation to their family members. "

　　 "Thank you auntie."

　　 "I'm doing things for my own company, thank you for anything, drink coffee, I'll add sugar to you."

"OK."

　　 Karen held his left hand slightly,

　　Mingming coffee is on the left hand side, but he still uses his right hand to pick up the coffee and take a sip.

　　At this time, the phone rang.

　　 Aunt Winnie got up to answer the phone:

　　 "Hey... um... um... got it."

"Snapped."

　　 The sound of hanging up the phone is a bit heavy,

　　 The next heavier thing is Aunt Winnie's shout:

　　 "Mason, Mason!"

　　 Uncle Mason, who was drinking black tea upstairs and looking at the financial newspaper, immediately left everything, and quickly stepped down the stairs while wearing his jacket.

　　 Aunt Winnie said, "The stage of the Crown Ballroom collapsed, and there were many casualties."

　　 "Oh, Crown Ballroom." Mason nodded immediately.

　　 "Where is the Crown Ballroom?" Aunt Mary's voice came from the top of the stairs.

　　 Mason immediately wondered: "Yes, where is the Crown Ballroom?"

　　 "I know, Mr. Mason, on Hill Street, it's an old ballroom with age." Ron replied.

　　 Previously, he and Paul were actually basking in the sun on the chairs of the flower garden.

　　 This line is like this. Even if you know that there is no work, you have to reserve the guys and other workers. After all, it is easy to find a waiter when there is something to do. It is difficult to find a corpse mover;

　　 can't call the neighbors next door to come and help, right?

　　 The last time Mrs. Mark came to complain about the cost, Aunt Mary hadn't paid her. Not only did she not give it, she also had a fight with others.

　　 "Oh, it's on Hill Street." Uncle Mason turned his head and looked at Aunt Mary who was standing at the top of the stairs. "My dear, you also prepare. I will try to pick up the guests directly, if there are guests."

　　 "Okay, dear." Aunt Mary nodded.

　　 Karen, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, saw this scene. He felt a little funny. I didn't know. He thought that he was driving a "120" and needed to be dispatched urgently.

　　 But this is the "commercial network". Not only do you have relationships at home in places like hospitals and nursing homes, but in many other places, there are also "eyeliners". People will notify you when you encounter such things.

　　Selling is done this way, you have to take the initiative.

　　 "Are there many casualties?" Mason looked at Karen, "Karen, come with you too, one more helper."

　　 "Okay, uncle."

　　 Uncle Mason got into the cab, while Karen, Paul and Ron first folded the stretcher and placed it in the carriage, took the body bag, etc., and then sat in the carriage together.

　　Before the hearse started, Aunt Winnie threw a stack of brochures from the Inmurais Care Company into the window.

"gone!"

　　 Mason gave his sister and his wife a firm look, like a general on an expedition.

　　 And Aunt Winnie and Aunt Mary also had serious faces, looking forward to the triumph of the general.

　　 The car, driving fast.

　　 Karen has seen Uncle Mason run through two signal lights. Fortunately, there is no electronic eye to take pictures. As long as the police are not lucky enough to stand by the side, nothing will happen;

　　 Of course, car accidents don't count.

　　 "Will the stage collapse so badly?" Karen asked curiously.

　　 Ron was about to answer,

　　 Uncle Mason, who was driving, first said:

　　"The Crown Ballroom has its own unique stage. It is a tempered glass stage suspended from a height of nearly five meters. Dancing girls wearing skirts and miniskirts will dance on it and stand below. You can look up to your heart's content.

　　Of course, many guests will choose to spend extra money to experience the excitement of high-altitude dancing.

　　 So, if the stage collapses and someone is dancing above and below, it can easily cause terrible consequences. "

　　 Ron echoed: "Yes, the price for a dancer to do a dance there is 5 renminbi, and the price for dancing on the glass is 50 renminbi, which is too expensive."

　　 Uncle Mason said: "Money is second. The main Crown Ballroom has fallen into disrepair for a long time. I didn't dare to go up. I'm really afraid that I might run into it by accident.

　　 I have seen a lot of the deaths of those accidental dead bodies at home. "

　　 "Does Uncle go often?" Karen asked.

　　 "I liked to go when I was young. After I got married with your aunt, I didn't go there much. I went back to Luojia City to visit relatives a few years ago, and I went there two or three times when I had a gathering with some of my former friends.

　　 After returning home, I haven't been there once, and I don't even contact the previous group of friends. "

It's not that friends dislike the poor and love the rich. It's purely because the former Uncle Mason was also a small accomplished financial person. Now he is the manager of his family's company. Although there is no shortage of friends and relationships, he is totally different. Different circles.

　　 can never:

"Hey friend;

　　 Knowing that your loved one has passed away is very painful, why don't you go dance with me? "

soon,

　　 Hill Street is here.

　　 Uncle Mason continued to step on the accelerator, then turned into a trail that was only enough for one car to pass, interspersed again, and quickly came from the front street to the middle street.

　　 After driving out of the alley, turn right and stop. Obviously, Uncle Mason is very familiar with this place.

　　 There are signs of cinema, gym, etc. on the building in front, but the biggest one is the Crown Ballroom!

　　 Huh, here it is.

　　 At this time, on the street at the entrance and exit, a lot of people had gathered, many of them were bloodied with blood on their heads, and some were crying with fright. In short, it was very noisy.

As soon as Karen and the others got out of the car, a police car suddenly stopped next to him. In the co-pilot seat was a sheriff wearing a khaki windbreaker with a pipe in his mouth. He looked at the car in front of him in surprise. Murais's hearse,

　　 exclaimed in shock:

　　 "Damn, Mason, how did you make it faster than the police and the ambulance!!!"

　　 Obviously, the sheriff and Uncle Mason knew each other.

　　 This is not surprising,

　　 There are several sources of stable clients for the funeral club. In addition to nursing homes, hospitals, and churches, the next one is the police station.

　　It's common to come to the police station to pull the corpse in the morgue.

　　 Uncle Mason explained: "Sergeant Duke, this is a coincidence. We happen to be on the front street."

　　 "Huh." Sheriff Duke obviously didn't believe it.

　　 However, due to the traffic jam at this time, and the Luojia City Stadium is hosting a football friendly match for the national team today, a large number of police forces have been transferred to be responsible for security, and the follow-up police forces are not getting better for a while.

　　 "You come with me and help me maintain order."

"Yes!"

　　 Uncle Mason stood still, and Ron and Paul beside him stood still. Karen slowed down a beat, but also straightened his chest.

　　 This scene was a bit funny. Inspector Duke couldn't help but smile, but immediately realized that he should not be incongruous on this occasion, and then turned his head and ordered the police officer who was driving:

　　 "Mick, you beat the siren, go to the front to clear the traffic, and pick up the ambulance."

　　 "Yes, sheriff."

Ron and Paul pushed away from the crowd. Sheriff Duke glanced at the injured crowd on the side of the road. It should have been run out of the ballroom after the stage collapsed. Although many people were injured, they could run out by themselves. , The problem should not be too big, they are also doing simple bandaging and hemostasis with each other.

　　 "Is there anyone in there?" Inspector Duke asked.

　　 "Is there anyone in there?" Uncle Mason pulled over a person in ballroom overalls.

　　 "Yes...Yes, there are."

　　 "Go, let's go in."

　　 Sheriff Duke stepped in first, and when he went up the stairs, he saw a few people with serious injuries who were either pierced or lifted out. Either the leg was pierced into the glass or the abdomen, and he couldn't walk on his own ability.

　　 Uncle Mason gave up on the one who was pierced into the glass piece on his leg, and first held the hip-hop young man whose abdomen was pierced into the glass piece:

　　 "Are you okay, can you hold on?"

　　 The young man thought it was the doctor who came, and immediately nodded and said, "I don't think the problem is big, I can hold it on."

　　 Uncle Mason's enthusiasm dissipated instantly, and he let go of his hand.

　　 "Doctor?" The young man was still shouting to Uncle Mason.

　　 "Sorry, I'm going to find more injured people inside, they need me more now!"

　　 The young man nodded and said, "I understand, I understand."

　　 Sheriff Duke led the Immelais family and continued walking inside;

　　 On the way, Sergeant Duke teased Mason and said: "Is it so impatient to hope that the dead will appear?"

　　 Uncle Mason replied: "Recent low season."

　　 "Oh, off-season."

　　 "You can catch cannabis dealers and unlicensed brothels in the off-season. We can't kill people in the off-season, right?"

"I can warn you. If you find a seriously injured person in the house later, you have to send it to the hospital first. If the ambulance hasn't come, you can send it in your car, but don't... You can take your home directly to me before the person is dead. went."

"How can it be."

　　 While talking, everyone finally entered the inner court of the ballroom. There were not many people left in the inner court. Most of them had already come out, but there were still more than a dozen people in it right now.

　　 The ground is full of glass slag, big and small.

　　 Just a few steps inside, I saw a person leaning on the deck.

　　 took a closer look and found that half of his head had been cut off;

　　 Behind its deck, there is a large piece of glass with an area of ​​about three square meters.

　　 Such a large piece of glass, smash it directly, cutting off a person's head is almost as simple as cutting a watermelon.

The scene on the back of the 　　 deck is even more unsightly, with various colors, like a sauce shop.

　　 Uncle Mason hurried forward, then turned to look at Inspector Duke, and asked anxiously:

　　 "Sergeant, come and take a look, is this dead dead?"

　　 Sheriff Duke went up and kicked Mason.

　　 But taking into account the broken glass on the ground all around, I took this foot back halfway and didn't really kick it up.

　　 It can be seen from this that the relationship between Uncle Mason and Sheriff Duke is really good.

　　 Sheriff Duke's mother passed away three years ago. It was a funeral held at Inmelais's family. In the end, the family confiscated 1 RUB for funeral expenses.

　　 "Karen" didn't know about this. After all, "Karen" was still an autistic boy at that time. He basically didn't know much about family business matters, and he wouldn't bother about it.

　　 "Ron, body bag," Uncle Mason ordered.

"good."

　　 Ron took out the body bag and began to put it on the hapless gentleman, muttering as he put it on:

　　 "The opening fee for this seat is not low, and you are really unlucky."

　　 There is a glass stage in the front and above, and sitting here can have the best angle of looking up.

Ron tidied up quickly, and he was not afraid of the tragedy and other things. This is professionalism. It is also Ron and Paul who can take paid rest all day and all day and still hold a lot higher than ordinary workers. The reason for the salary.

In front of 　　, one person is surrounded by several people;

　　 There are several places of glass stuck in his body, and blood is constantly overflowing from his mouth. He can't speak clearly, only his eyes blink and blink.

　　Because the injury was too serious, and they didn't know if it was his friend or the enthusiastic ballroom customer. They didn't dare to move him without permission, for fear that people would be gone if they were not careful.

　　 Uncle Mason immediately stepped forward, shook his hand, and said:

　　 "Hold on, hold on, please hold on!"

　　 said, immediately shouted to Paul behind him:

　　 "Stretcher, stretcher, come on!"

　　 Paul, who was carrying the stretcher trolley, immediately put down the stretcher trolley, but did not put down the four wheels.

　　 Uncle Mason told the people around:

　　 "Be careful, everyone help lift a little, pay attention to stability, first lift him out on the stretcher, the ambulance will arrive soon, he still has hope, there is hope!"

　　 Everyone immediately began to help according to Mason's orders.

　　 Karen knows that the reason Uncle Mason is so enthusiastic is because this person, if there is no miracle, should be rescued.

　　 However, Mason made the right choice. It is indeed the best for the injured and will allow him to receive medical treatment more quickly.

　　Wait until the injured person is sent to the hospital, and after the "nothing" is gone, Uncle Mason, who was familiar with him in advance, can naturally take the funeral order in front of a crowd of grateful family members.

　　 Sheriff Duke was watching and didn't bother Mason. He knew in his heart that although Mason wanted an order, he was not a messy person.

　　 Karen wanted to go up and help, but the stretcher was so big that he didn't have a place to intervene.

　　 Just then, Karen heard Inspector Duke making a "Huh?"

　　 Followed the sound and found that Sheriff Duke had come to the center of the original stage.

　　The layout of the Crown Ballroom is in the middle is a three-step-high, large wooden board stage, and the glass stage is above the wooden board stage.

After 　　 the glass stage was smashed down, several holes were also smashed into the center of the lower stage.

　　 At this time, Sheriff Duke was squatting next to a hole, reaching out a few pieces of broken wooden boards next to him.

　　 Karen walked over, and then he was taken aback.

　　 In this cave, there is a male corpse lying impressively.

　　 This male corpse is naked, his hands are spread out symmetrically to both sides at a forty-five-degree angle, the palm is up, and the **** is fixed by two iron nails, forming a two-way erect **** posture;

in addition,

　　 On the abdomen of the male corpse, where the belly button is, there is a white flower, which should be...plastic.

　　 There are stitches on the upper and lower sides of the belly button. It is very likely that this is not a flower, but... a potted flower.

　　The flowerpot is in the belly of the male corpse;

　　 In addition, heavy makeup was painted on the face of the male corpse.

　　 The traces of lipstick extend exaggeratedly from both sides of the male corpse's mouth, forming a visual illusion of "smile".

　　 On the chest of the male corpse, there is a book with "Song of Souls" written on the cover, which is the Bible taught by Berry.

　　 I remember that Aunt Mary had complained about Mr. Mosang's children before deliberately saying that Mr. Mosang was a Berry believer in order to save money;

　　 In the Berry doctrine, it is required that the body should be cremated after death and return to nature again. The more the body is decorated or the grand funeral is adopted, the more it desecrates nature, that is, the doctrine.

　　 But the male corpse in the stage in front of me has too many places where his body has been altered and arranged.

　　 In addition, judging from the bluish-black state of the corpse's skin, it should have been a long time since death, although no obvious signs of decay were seen on the body.

　　 But, it's impossible that the glass stage fell off and was smashed to death, and then the people around him took off his clothes and arranged it like this, right?

　　 Sheriff Duke's dignified eyes,

　　 The previous incident in the ballroom was an accident, and in the event of an accident, the policeman would not have much to do with him. It would be good to maintain the rescue order, but now this corpse is different.

　　 Sheriff Duke bit his cigarette holder.

　　 said to himself:

　　 "If it weren't for this accident, there would really be no way to discover this murder."

　　 "I don't think... this is not the case."

"Oh?"

　　 Sheriff Duke turned his head and looked at the handsome young man standing beside him.

　　 "Then what do you think?"

　　 Karen pointed at the male corpse in the hole,

road:

　　 "It was the murderer who deliberately created this accident in order to show his 'artwork'."
