This is not a weird story

Team Leader He first took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and took the opportunity to organize his words to see where to start.

After a while, he said: "There has always been a taboo in our crematorium. You cannot hold incense and candles hanging outside at three o'clock in the middle of the night, otherwise you will easily meet a woman. Half a year ago, the director of our unit forgot this It happened that her aunt passed away and was about to be cremated at 5:30 in the morning. As a result, the director took several packages of incense candles outside the yard at 3 o'clock and planned to send them to the condolence hall to burn incense for her aunt. Then she met the What a weird woman, the director hasn’t been able to come to work until now.”

"Are you staying in the hospital?" Wei An asked.

Team leader He shook his head: "She was in the hospital at first, and then she has been living at home. Several Taoist monks were invited to come and see her, but she still hasn't recovered."

"Can you tell me in detail? Also, do you know why that weird woman appeared in the middle of the night?" Wei An asked.

Team leader He seemed to be hesitating whether he could tell the whole story, but he quickly said: "It's a long story. We call this woman Si Sanniang. She lived in the city during her lifetime. Later she died of a sudden illness. Her body was After being transported and going through the funeral process, we were ready to be cremated. But from that day on, something happened that overturned all the staff in our crematorium. Si Sanniang’s body could not be burned no matter how hard it was burned. Every time it was cremated, After she was dragged out of the furnace, she found that the shroud on her body had been burned completely, but her body was unscathed, and even her skin was still cold."

Wei An was surprised.

Team leader He continued: "That's it. We changed Si Sanniang's shroud four times and burned the body four times, but it still couldn't be burned. Even the hair was not damaged. In the end, the director said, really If not, we can only bury Si Sanniang like this."

"This matter is not a good thing, so all the staff up and down did not dare to spread it outside, otherwise their jobs would be in danger. After secretly asking our superiors for instructions, the director arranged for us to negotiate with Si Sanniang's relatives, and finally asked someone to tell Si Sanniang My mother performed a solemn ceremony and then buried her body directly. Because this matter violated the long-standing cremation regulations, it could only be done in secret. We were on our own territory at the crematorium, which is next door. We found a plot of land for her in the cemetery and buried her secretly."

At this time, the staff member added: "Because Si Sanniang's body cannot be cremated, the cemetery we found is not for placing urns, but is larger than the average cemetery, otherwise the coffin cannot be placed. Some uninformed outsiders also I thought Si Sanniang had a prominent position during her lifetime, so she owned such a large cemetery."

Wei An asked: "Then do you know the situation at Si Sanniang's family?"

Team leader He nodded: "Si Sanniang raised two children alone, a boy and a girl. The eldest girl is in junior high school, and the younger one is still in the fifth grade of elementary school. Her husband is said to have run away because of a gambling debt. Later, some people said that they had started a new family outside, but others said that they had married a rich woman."

"What happened to her child later?" Wei An asked.

Because if Si Sanniang’s body cannot be cremated, and there are ghosts wandering outside, maybe her last wish will be related to the child who has no one to take care of her.

"The child has been adopted by her cousin's family. Although Si Sanniang's cousin's family situation is not very good, she still has no problem raising the two children." Team leader He said: "We have all learned about these problems. That doesn’t seem to be the reason.”

Wei An asked again: "Did her ex-husband never show up? Even at her funeral?"

"I came out once. I came over and burned three sticks of incense and then left. I didn't even care about the children." Team Leader He said.

The staff member took over: "I was also there at the time, and he had to leave immediately after lighting the incense, because as soon as he showed up, he was yelled at by other relatives and friends on the spot. The scolding was bloody, and some even wanted to beat him. My colleagues and I quickly went to stop those people, otherwise the situation might not end that day.”

Team Leader He sighed.

"What disease did Si Sanniang die of?" Wei An asked.

Team leader He said: "It seems to be an acute myocardial infarction or something. Her other relatives said that maybe her ex-husband ran back at that time. Because this guy still owed a bunch of gambling debts outside, he might have gone to find the Secretary again. Sanniang asked for money and the two got into an argument, which then led to illness.”

"But this is just what everyone has spread." The staff member said: "There is no evidence, and if it is true that her ex-husband got into a dispute over asking for money and made her angry to death, and did not see the Public Security Bureau taking this guy back for questioning, then It just means that maybe the truth is not what they say.”

Team leader He nodded: "But one thing is for sure. Si Sanniang's family now hates her ex-husband to death. If the two parties meet, the guy will definitely be beaten."

"Then you just said that Si Sanniang's ghost will wander around the crematorium at three o'clock in the middle of the night. Be especially careful not to bring incense or candles, otherwise it will attract her? Do you know the reason for this?" Wei An asked curiously .

Team leader He said: "We don't know the reason, but we have experienced this several times, and everyone has summed up the experience."

"Have you ever met Si Sanniang at night?"

"I've encountered it before, but not the team leader." The staff member replied, "At that time, I was also going to deliver joss sticks and paper money to customers. It was about three o'clock in the middle of the night. I just entered the corridor and didn't take a few steps. When I saw a woman wearing a shroud standing there at the end of the corridor, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move, let alone get close. I turned around and ran back to the office. I put down the incense candle and immediately gave her to her. Other colleagues called for help. When my colleagues arrived, they saw nothing, but I had already put down the incense candles for a long time."

"Recently, Si Sanniang's ghost hasn't appeared for a long time." Team Leader He took over. "The most important thing is that we all roughly understand the conditions for her appearance, so we have avoided taking incense, candles, paper money and other items in the middle of the night, which are usually given to customers. They are all prepared in advance, or just put some in the auditorium, ready for use at any time.”

Now Wei An had a general understanding. According to these two people, the ghost that appeared was indeed Si Sanniang, but he was not sure whether it was Si Sanniang's ghost guarding the corpse.

Si Sanniang's body could not be cremated, and her body was still cold even after the fire burned. This meant that she had a strong obsession with her last wish and had to deal with it.

From this point of view, it met the conditions for the appearance of the corpse guard soul, so Wei An decided to take a look in person to draw the most accurate conclusion.

If that is really Si Sanniang's corpse-guarding spirit, which is the third one in this Solitaire mission, as long as it is dealt with, he can go back to the library to hand in the assignment.

"Okay, the situation is probably clear, I can take a look first." Wei An agreed to Team Leader He's request, "I will stay here tonight, and please cooperate with me and give me some incense paper money in the evening. Etc.”

"No problem, no problem!" Team Leader He immediately beamed and thanked him repeatedly, "All our staff can cooperate with you, master. You can ask for any requests you have, and I will do my best to get you the maximum reward." .”

"Tiny things, those are trivial things, not worth mentioning." Wei An waved his hand.
