Evil God

Chapter 12 The Art of the Devil

“Royal nobles and dukes are luxurious, noble, and generous... golden coffins.”

“Elegant, introverted, calm, intelligent, wise, and calm... A light breeze coffin.”

In the living room,

Karen was sitting on the small sofa flipping through the family's "coffin color book".

The two most expensive coffins on the color book were read out earlier, with the adjectives added one set after another to form a string, priced at 2.25 million rupees and 2.5 million rupees respectively.

Why is the light wind coffin more expensive than the gold coffin? Perhaps this is the price of "elegance".

Uncle Mason once told himself that a five fold reduction in the price on the lottery book would be the cost of purchasing goods, But even so, a sum of 450000 rupees and 500000 rupees is still a huge number.

If Karen remembers correctly, 500000 rupees would be enough to buy a three bedroom, one living room property in a well located area in the city;

Alas, in the world of truly wealthy people, this is truly a coffin worth a suite.

“Coffee.”

“Thank you, aunt.”

Aunt Winnie placed her coffee on the coffee table and sat on the small sofa across from him.

“Are you free these days? "Aunt Winnie asked.

“Hmm. "Karen nodded. Mina and they need to go to school, but he doesn't have to. Therefore, in the past few days, he has been responsible for cooking, which has refreshed the family's understanding of food.

The day before yesterday, he even made a special meal of "boiled beef". The family's acceptance of spicy food was actually quite good, especially Uncle Mason who was very happy to eat it. As a result, Uncle Mason walked poorly the next day,

Hemorrhoids have occurred.

He actually has nothing else to do besides cooking.

Although grandpa did not help him restore his academic status, he brought him a set of high school textbooks and tutoring materials.

Except for the history books that Karen occasionally flipped through, the other books were really not of much value to him.

“After a while, we should be busy. There are two elderly people in the Huashuiwan Sanatorium who are feeling unwell. There are several critically ill patients in two nearby hospitals that we have collaborated with; There is also a believer lying at home dying at the church. At that time, I will recommend your psychological counseling to their families.”

“Thank you, aunt.”

“Working for own company, there's no need to say thank you. Have some coffee, I added sugar to you.”

“Okay.”

Karen clenched his left hand slightly, Although the coffee was placed on his left side, he still leaned over with his right hand to pick up the coffee and took a sip.

At this moment, the phone rang.

Aunt Winnie got up and answered the phone:

“Hello... um... um... I see.”

“Pop.”

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

The next, even heavier, was Aunt Winnie's shout:

“Mason, Mason.”

Uncle Mason, who was originally drinking black tea upstairs and reading financial newspapers, immediately left everything behind and quickly stepped down the stairs while wearing his coat.

Aunt Winnie said, "The stage of the Crown Ballroom has collapsed, causing a lot of casualties.”

“Oh, Crown Ballroom. "Mason nodded immediately.

“Where is the Crown Ballroom? "Aunt Mary's voice came from the stairwell.

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

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

Previously, he and Paul were actually basking in the sun on the armchairs in the flower bed. When they didn't have any work, they often rested all day long.

But this is the way it is in this industry. Even if you know you don't have a job, you have to reserve the staff and other workers. After all, it's easy to find a waiter when there's something urgent, but it's difficult to find a corpse mover;

Can't you call the neighbors next door to come and give a hand?

Aunt Mary hasn't given Mrs. Mark the money from last time. Not only hasn't she given it, but she also had a fight with someone else.

“Oh, it's on Hill Street, "Uncle Mason turned his head and looked at Aunt Mary standing at the top staircase. “Dear, you also need to prepare. I will try to pick up the customer directly, if there are any customers.”

“Okay, dear, "Aunt Mary nodded.

Karen, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, couldn't help but feel a bit amused. People who don't know, they thought we were driving '120' and needed an emergency response .

But this is the "business network". It is not only related to homes in hospitals and sanatoriums, but also has "eyeliner" in many other places. In case of such things, someone will notify them.

Buying and selling is done in this way, and one must take the initiative.

“Are there many casualties? "Mason looked at Karen and said," Karen, come with me and have an extra helper.”

“Okay, uncle.”

Uncle Mason sat in the driver's cab, while Karen, along with Paul and Ron, folded up the stretcher and placed it inside the carriage. They then took on the body bag and sat together in the carriage.

Before the hearse started, Aunt Winnie threw a stack of brochures of the deceased care company Emrys into the window.

“Let's go.”

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

And Aunt Winnie and Aunt Mary also looked serious, hoping for the general's victory.

……

Car, driving very fast.

Karen had already seen Uncle Mason running two signal lights in a row. Fortunately, there were no electronic cameras taking photos now. As long as it wasn't for luck, the police would stand next to him, and there wouldn't be anything wrong;

Of course, car accidents count separately.

“Can the stage collapse be so serious? "Karen asked curiously.

Ron is about to answer,

Uncle Mason, who was driving, said first:

"The Crown Ballroom has its own stage, which is a Tempered glass stage suspended at a height of nearly five meters. Dancers wearing skirts and miniskirts will dance on it, and you can look up at it from below.

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

So, if that stage collapses and there are people dancing above and below, it is easy to cause terrible consequences.”

Ron agreed, "Yes, the price for a dancer to dance there is 5 rupees, while the price for dancing on glass is 50 rupees, which is really too expensive.”

Uncle Mason said, "Money comes second. The main Crown Ballroom may be in disrepair over time, so I dare not go up there. I'm really afraid that one day I might have an accident.

I have seen a lot of the tragic deaths of those accidental bodies at home.”

“Does Uncle often go? "Karen asked.

”When I was young, I liked to go there. After marrying your aunt, I didn't go much anymore. A few years ago, when I was visiting my family in Roja City, I went there two or three times when I was gathering with some of my former friends.

After really returning home, I haven't been there once, and I won't contact those old friends anymore.”

It's not that friends dislike poverty and love wealth. It's simply that Uncle Mason was a financial man with little success before. Now he is the manager of the company at home. Although he does not lack friends and relationships, he is totally in two different circles.

Cannot:

“Hi, friend; It's painful to know that your loved one has passed away. Why don't you go dance with me.”

Soon,

Hill Street is right there.

Uncle Mason continued to press on the gas pedal, then turned into a small path that was only enough for one car to pass through, and quickly crossed from Front Street to Middle Street.

After leaving the alley, turn right and stop. It is obvious that Uncle Mason is very familiar with this place.

The building ahead hangs signs such as a cinema and gym, but the largest one that still shines is the Crown Ballroom!

Huh, here we are.

At this moment, there were already many people gathered on the street at the entrance and exit, many with blood on their bodies, their heads broken and bleeding, and some frightened and crying, all in all, it was very noisy.

Karen and others had just got off the bus when a police car stopped beside them. A police chief in a Khaki windbreaker with a pipe in his mouth was sitting in the co driver's seat. He was surprised to see the hearse of the Emrys family in front of him,

Exclaimed in amazement:

“Damn it, Mason, how did you do it faster than the police and ambulances?”

Obviously, this sheriff and Uncle Mason are acquaintances.

It's not surprising, either,

In addition to sanatoriums, hospitals, and churches, the next stable source of customers for funeral services is the police station.

It is common to come to the police morgue to collect corpses.

Uncle Mason explained, "Sheriff Duke, this is really a coincidence. We happen to be on the front street.”

“Ah. "Sheriff Duke clearly didn't believe it.

However, due to traffic congestion and the fact that the Roja Sports Center is hosting a friendly football match for the national team today, a large number of police forces have been transferred to take charge of security. The subsequent police forces have not been very good for a while.

“Follow me and help me maintain order.”

“Yes.”

Uncle Mason stood still, and Ron and Paul next to him immediately stood still. Karen slowed down for a while, but also straightened up his chest.

This scene was a bit comical. Sheriff Duke couldn't help but laugh, but immediately realized that the occasion should not be inappropriate. He turned his head and instructed the driving police officer:

“Mick, turn on the siren, go ahead and clear the traffic, and pick up the ambulance.”

“Yes, Sheriff.”

Ron and Paul pushed the crowd away in front, and Sheriff Duke glanced at the injured crowd on the roadside. It should have been the stage collapsing and running out of the ballroom. Although many people were injured, they could run out on their own, and the problem shouldn't be too big. They were also doing simple bandages and hemostasis for each other.

“Is there anyone else inside? "Sheriff Duke asked.

“Is there anyone else inside? "Uncle Mason pulled over a person wearing a ballroom uniform.

“Yes... yes, yes.”

“Let's go in..”

Sheriff Duke walked in first, and as he climbed the stairs, he saw several people who were slightly injured, either being helped or carried out, with glass splinters pierced into their legs or abdomen, unable to walk on their own.

Uncle Mason gave up on the one whose leg had been pierced with glass, and instead held onto the young man dressed in hip-hop who had his abdomen pierced with glass:

“Are you okay? Can you hold on?”

The young man thought it was a doctor coming and immediately nodded, "I don't think it's a big problem. I can still hold on.”

Uncle Mason's enthusiasm dissipated in an instant and he also let go of his hand.

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

“Sorry, I need to go inside to find the more severely injured person. They need me even more now.”

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

Sheriff Duke continued to walk in with all the people in the Emrys family;

On the way, Sheriff Duke mocked Mason and said, "Is it so urgent to hope for the death?”

Uncle Mason replied, "It's been the off-season lately.”

“Ah, off-season.”

“You can catch m*******a dealers and unlicensed brothels during the off-season, but we can't kill people during the off-season, can we?”

“I can warn you that if you find a seriously injured person inside later, you must first take them to the hospital. If the ambulance hasn't arrived yet, use your car to deliver them. Don't... if the person hasn't died yet, just take them directly to your house.”

“How could it be.”

During the conversation, everyone finally entered the inner court of the dance hall. There were not many people left, and most of them had already come out, but there were still more than ten people inside at the moment.

On the ground, it was filled with glass debris, large and small.

Just a few steps inside, we saw a person leaning against the card seat.

Upon approaching, he found that half of his head had been cut off;

Behind its holder, there is a large piece of glass with an area of approximately three square meters.

Just smashing such a large piece of glass and cutting half of a person's head is almost as simple as cutting a watermelon.

The scene on the back of the card holder is even more eye-catching, with various colors available, like opening a sauce shop.

Uncle Mason hurried forward and turned his head to look at Sheriff Duke, anxiously asking:

“Sheriff, come and take a look. Is this person completely dead?”

Sheriff Duke went up and kicked Mason,

But considering that the ground around him was covered in broken glass, he managed to retract this kick midway and didn't really kick it up.

From here, it can be seen that the relationship between Uncle Mason and Sheriff Duke is really good.

The death of Sheriff Duke's mother three years ago was a funeral held at Emrys's house. Finally, the family confiscated the funeral expenses of 1 rupee.

Karen didn't know about this matter, after all, at that time, Karen was still an autistic teenager who had little understanding of family and business matters and wouldn't interfere.

“Ron, the shroud bag, "Uncle Mason ordered.

“Okay.”

Ron took out the body bag and began to put it on the unlucky gentleman, muttering while putting it on:

“The opening fee for this seat is not low, you are really unlucky.”

The front and top of this is the glass stage, where you can sit and enjoy the best angle of looking up.

Ron packed up quickly and didn't feel intimidated by the tragedy or anything else, which is why Ron and Paul were able to rest with pay all day and earn much higher salaries than ordinary workers.

Ahead, a person was surrounded by several people;

He had several glass inserts on his body, and blood was constantly overflowing from his mouth. He couldn't speak clearly, leaving only his eyes blinking.

Because the injury was too severe, and it was unknown whether it was his friend or the enthusiastic ballroom customer nearby, they dared not move him without authorization, fearing that if they were not careful, they would lose him.

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

“Hold on, hold on, please make sure to hold on!”

As he spoke, he immediately shouted to Paul behind him:

“Stretcher, stretcher, come on.”

Paul, carrying the stretcher truck, immediately put it down, but did not put down the four wheels.

Uncle Mason instructed the people around him:

“Be careful, everyone helps lift it a bit, pay attention to stability. First, lift him on a stretcher and transport him out. The ambulance will arrive soon. He still has hope, there is hope.”

Everyone immediately began to help as instructed by Mason.

Karen knew that the reason Uncle Mason was so enthusiastic was because this person, without a miracle, would not have been able to be rescued.

However, Mason's choice was also correct, as it was indeed the best for the injured and allowed them to receive medical treatment more quickly.

And when the injured person is taken to the hospital and "gone," Uncle Mason, who had a familiar face in advance, can naturally take this funeral order in front of a grateful family.

Sheriff Duke was watching beside him without disturbing Mason. He knew in his heart that although Mason wanted an order, he was not someone who would mess around.

Karen originally wanted to go up and help, but the stretcher was so large that he didn't have any room to intervene.

At that moment, Karen heard Sheriff Duke say “Eh?”

Following the sound, I found that Sheriff Duke had already arrived at the center of the original stage.

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

After the glass stage was smashed down, several holes were also made in the center of the stage below.

At this moment, Sheriff Duke was crouching next to a hole, reaching out to pull apart a few broken wooden boards next to him.

Karen walked over and was immediately taken aback.

Inside this hole, there is a male corpse lying in awe.

The man's body was naked, his hands were stretched out symmetrically at an angle of 45 degrees to both sides, the palm was upward, and the middle finger was fixed with two iron nails, forming a two-way posture of raising the middle finger;

Additionally,

There is a white flower on the abdomen of the male corpse, which should be... plastic.

There are stitching marks on the navel, above and below the eyes. It is highly likely that this is not a flower, but... a potted flower.

The flower pot is in the belly of the male corpse;

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

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

On the chest of the male corpse, there is a book with "Song of the Soul" written on the cover, which is the Bible of Berenism.

I remember Aunt Mary roast that Mr. Mosan's children deliberately said that Mr. Mosan was a follower of Berenism in order to save money;

In the doctrine of Berenism, what is required is for the body to be cremated after death and returned to nature. The more the body is decorated or a grand funeral is carried out, the more it is a violation of nature and the doctrine.

But there are too many places where the male corpse on the stage has been altered and decorated.

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

But it's impossible for the glass stage to fall off and be smashed to death, and then be dressed up like this by people around you?

Sheriff Duke's gaze was fixed,

The previous dance hall incident was an accident, and if it were an accident, it had nothing to do with him as a police officer. Just maintain the rescue order, but now this corpse is different.

Sheriff Duke took a bite from his cigarette holder,

I said to myself:

“If it weren't for this accident, we wouldn't have discovered this murder case.”

“I don't think so.”

“Oh?”

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

“So what do you think?”

Karen pointed to the male corpse inside the hole,

Say: “It was the murderer who deliberately created this accident to showcase his ‘artwork '”
