Chapter 137 Incense Candle Paper Money

"She may be coming in. Is there any other way out here?" Wei An immediately asked Team Leader He who was trembling with fear behind him.

Team Leader He quickly shook his head: "No, no, we can only go out through the corridor."

Wei An looked around and saw that the windows in this office were equipped with anti-theft windows. Now these anti-theft windows made it impossible for them to leave through the windows.

Team Leader He's office space is small. The sofa and coffee table are both compact. In addition, there is only one desk that can hide people under the desk, but only one person can be hidden under it.

Then only people can hide behind the door.

But these are not the key. The key is whether Si Sanniang’s corpse-guarding soul will come in? What would be the reason if she followed in? Is it because of the paper money and incense candles on the table?

Wei An's heart was spinning, and she ran over and opened the office door.

Originally, he planned to let Team Leader He run out before Si Sanniang arrived, but he ignored the cramped location of this office. Even after leaving this office, he still had to walk through half of the aisle. It's only after you turn a corner that you really go out.

This is the only way.

When the office door opened, they saw Si Sanniang's colorful shroud swinging past the corner of the small half-aisle. The woman's figure had turned around from there and was walking towards this side step by step.

Wei An quickly closed the door and said, "It's too late, she has already blocked the outside."

Team Leader He was so frightened that he quickly ducked under the desk where one person could be hidden almost out of instinct, and said: "Master, please think of a way, what should... be done?!"

At this time, Wei An had already picked up the remaining incense paper money on the table, picked up his lighter from Team Leader He's desk, quickly lit a candle, then lit the paper money, opened the door and lit all the burning paper money. Things are left at the door.

Then he tore open a bundle of incense, placed it on the ground, and put the remaining paper money on it to make them burn quickly.

Looking up, he saw that Si Sanniang had walked nearly half the way and was getting closer to the office.

Wei An quickly stood up, closed the office door again, and let the incense, paper money burn outside the door.

Sometimes these ghosts would eat incense candles if they were hungry in life, but just now Si Sanniang tore them into pieces instead of eating them directly.

This shows that she does not appear in front of people holding incense candles because of hunger.

Now Wei An's purpose of doing this was to try it out and see if he could burn incense, candles, paper money in front of her, and fulfill some of her last wishes.

After closing the door and waiting for a while, the incense candles and paper money outside the door should have almost burned out, but there was no other movement.

Team Leader He, who had just been hiding under the table, poked his head out, looked at the door, and lowered his voice to Wei An: "Master, has she... gone away? It seems that there is no movement outside the door."

Wei An shook his head, lay down behind the door, looked into the crack in the door near the ground, then raised his head and whispered to Team Leader He: "This woman is standing outside the door, stepping on the paper money that just burned. Look. It seems like she doesn’t need the paper money, and she even… feels… a little bit hateful!”

Speaking of this, Wei An suddenly realized that he had captured this key point, and then he wondered if it was because Si Sanniang refused to admit that she was dead. She still wanted to live and couldn't let go of her two children, so she hated her. These paper money are burned to the dead, so the body cannot be cremated.

It was possible to think so, but it was a disaster for Wei An, because if Si Sanniang's last wish was really like this, then he would not be able to fulfill it no matter what.

No one can raise the dead.

If you think about it carefully, this is just one of the guesses. There may be other reasons why Si Sanniang hates these incense candles and paper money.

What is the reason?

Lying at the door, he glanced at the crack below again. Because the lights in the corridor were always on and were not voice-activated lights, he could still see the pair of feet wearing old black shoes. It seemed that Si San would be there in a short time. Mom will never leave.

At this moment, the door handle of the office door suddenly began to twist slowly. The door handle was round, and usually it could be opened by twisting it.

But at this moment, Wei An had pressed the button in the middle of the round door handle, which meant that the door had been locked, so the outside could only be turned half a turn before it could be twisted anymore.

The moment he saw the door lock turning, Team Leader He's heart was in his throat. He put his hands in front of his desk, only his head was exposed, and his eyes were wide open, staring at the door lock as it turned, until the door lock because of Locked and unable to move.

Team Leader He breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Si Sanniang should not be able to come in for the time being.

But Wei An turned to look at him at this time.

Team Leader He felt suddenly and asked, "Si Sanniang is here, are you doubting me?"

"A little bit." Wei An said bluntly.

Logically speaking, Team Leader He had no suspicion at all, and besides, he was the one who took the initiative to deal with Si Sanniang's ghost.

But now Si Sanniang's behavior is too abnormal. Unlike usual, she will not embarrass the other party as long as she puts down the incense candle paper money, but now she is not only attacking Wei An, but even following him.

However, after thinking about it this way, Wei An believed that Team Leader He's current behavior was just a normal reaction of a person. Maybe Si Sanniang's abnormality was just because of her own appearance, which meant that the cause might be her own.

After a pause, he continued: "Team Leader He, don't think too much. All I want to know now is who was responsible for the paper money and incense candles that were used to pay for Si Sanniang's funeral? Didn't you say that they would also be paid? Is it too folded?”

"Yes, yes, there is indeed a discount." Team leader He nodded, "But the staff are all responsible for these things, and there is no specific group in charge. It is impossible for Si Sanniang to be dissatisfied with our staff. Our If the service is not in place, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue doing it for a long time. There are often dirty things in this crematorium, so we don't have to do it anymore."

"That's true." Wei An couldn't deny this.

It should be said that when it comes to dealing with the dead, these staff must be more familiar with it than themselves. They are service-oriented and even more cautious than those in other ordinary industries. Therefore, just holding an incense candle will make the deceased develop an obsession due to dissatisfaction. This probability can be It is said to be minimal.

Wei An fell into deep thought and said to himself: "Then what else makes her care so much about the money for incense candles and paper, and is even dissatisfied?"

As soon as these words came out, Team Leader He's face changed slightly, as if he had remembered something.

At the same moment, the circular door lock was twisted again, and you could see it starting to twist again from inside the room.

Team leader He didn't notice it. He recalled while saying: "I remember that Si Sanniang's family was still a relative, and they were in the business of selling incense paper money. The first request for us to get a discount that day was made by them. Yes, they said the price of the incense paper was transparent, so don’t try to rip them off. In addition, we saw that Si Sanniang’s family condition was not good, so we didn’t say anything more and gave them a discount according to their request.”

"Think carefully about who it is." Wei An said, then turned to look at the twisting door lock.

This time, the round door lock could not be twisted again because it was locked from behind. However, the power from outside did not give up. It still maintained the power of twisting and fell into a stalemate.

Wei An frowned slightly, and then he heard Team Leader He, who was bowing his head in deep thought, say with some joy: "By the way, I remembered, she is Si Sanniang's cousin! That is the family who now adopted her two children. , what their family does is just a simple business of making paper money for incense candles and making paper wreaths.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the round door lock of the office was twisted to pieces with a strong force. The door was opened, and a pale hand with long black nails stretched out from the crack of the open door.
