Chapter 4 Wang's Coffin Shop

"Young man, one thousand two months, and you still have property fees. This is a very fair price. Not counting as a storage room. You are already in a two-bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. How can you have such a cheap house in this city?"

"I really won't lie to you. The one family opposite your door also rented from me. The three female college students shared the lease, which were students from nearby aviation universities, and they all gave it to 1,500-month."

Listening to the intermediary woman's words, Su Chen was speechless. This guy was really good at saying that he was deliberately tempting himself with beauty.

A student at Aviation University isn’t he the future flight attendant? Or three?

If it were another boy, he might have agreed happily, and then he would look forward to having a chance encounter with the girl opposite one day in the future and develop a relationship.

But for Su Chen, it was not tempting at all. I was just a person who was weak immediately. What if you beat me three beauties? Is it fully automatic?

"This first floor is definitely very wet when it rains. People sell houses, and the price on the first floor is lower than other floors. It's the same for renting a house, which is a little cheaper."

"Forget it, for the sake of your student, I will give you a minimum price. One thousand one month, this is the minimum payment given to me by the landlord. If it is lower, it will be gone."

"One thousand one is OK, but I just want to pay one."

Su Chen also made up the calculations in his mind. If one thousand or one is still a bit expensive, the normal price here is 800 to 1,000, but if he follows the normal procedures, he will definitely be deducted one or three. He doesn't have much money on him, so he simply gives the agent some profit and asks her to negotiate with the landlord.

When the intermediary woman heard Su Chen's words, as he expected, although she was a little embarrassed after saying a few words, she still walked outside the door and called the landlord. When she came back, she told Su Wang that it was OK.

"Young man, because you are depositing one deposit and paying one, the landlord doesn't want to be so troublesome. He entrusted our agency to fully act as an agent, so he just needs to sign a contract with our agency. The money will be transferred to me at that time. In addition, according to the regulations, I will charge you for half a month's rent as a service fee."

"no problem."

Su Chen nodded and paid the intermediary woman a total of 3,100 yuan. The intermediary woman asked Su Chen to sign the contract, and left two keys.

The agent left, and Su Chen didn't stay here for too long. He went to the hardware store outside the community to buy a few locks and replaced the door locks, and then took a taxi to the next place.

Central to the street!

An old street in LC District, NC City is the earliest street in Nanchang that sells funeral items. As soon as you enter, you can see a lot of funeral supplies piled up on both sides of the street.

"From the map address, it's right in front."

Su Chen walked into the street based on the location he searched for on his mobile phone map. Although he was also selling goods, no one was attracted to the shops on both sides of the street.

Funeral supplies are for the dead. Whether they encounter funerals at home or worship their ancestors, the people who come to buy things will never be in a good mood. If they are too enthusiastic, they will only make people disgusted.

Su Chen walked all the way, and when he was about to reach the end of the street, his eyes were attracted by the front.

Ten meters in front of him, a group of people gathered in front of a shop, and there were questions coming from the shop.

"Your store must give us an explanation for this matter!"

"Wouldn't you be afraid of retribution if you dare to cheat someone dead?"

When Su Wang walked to the door of this shop, he found that it was the coffin shop he was looking for, so he stood outside the crowd and looked inside.

Unlike other shops selling funeral items, this one is a coffin shop, so the store is very wide and deep, a bit similar to the hall of an ancient alley. At this moment, a young man in his thirties was surrounded by seven or eight people, and the two sides were arguing.

"Don't talk nonsense. Our coffin shop has been open for more than 30 years. Neighbors all know that every coffin is made of real materials and never cut corners. It was also checked when you carried it away."

"Yes, it's because your family has a good reputation that we trusted you. When we carried the coffin away, we didn't check it anyway, so we took such a big loophole."

"I think you want to blackmail me!"

"I, Cao, are you? Say it again. My father is dead. I have to beat you up today for a coffin."

The young man in the coffin shop also knew that he was wrong, and his words soon aroused the other party's anger. The onlookers quickly stepped forward to stop the family of the deceased, while Su Chen took this opportunity to ask the people around him: "Uncle, what's going on here?"

"The old man died in this family. He came to Wang's coffin shop to buy a coffin. As a result, the coffin was transported home and restrained. The old man carried it to the burial. The bottom of the coffin broke and the entire coffin was broken into two pieces."

Facing Su Chen's inquiry, the onlooker did not hide it and continued: "In fact, if it weren't for the other party's family that died and the elders were buried, we would all suspect that the other party was here to blackmail. The Wang Coffin Store has been here for more than 30 years, and it has a very good reputation. The coffin used for the beating is very good, and there has never been any corner cuts."

After listening to the introduction of the people around him, Su Chen looked ahead, and his eyes looked at the faces of the deceased's family for a moment. After a while, a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"Anyway, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will smash your coffin shop."

"You dare to kill me, if you dare to smash me, you will fight you hard!"

Wang Huizhong looked angry. The coffin shop was handed down by his grandfather and was run by his father now. However, he had a job recently and had no time to look at the shop, so he temporarily handed it over to him to take care of the police. If the coffin shop was smashed, how could he explain to his father?

"In fact, I think there is still a way to confirm whether it is inferior to good ones? Cutting corners."

As the conflict between the two sides was about to escalate, Su Chen's voice came from the crowd, and Su Chen's words made everyone look at him. The person blocked the door subconsciously gave him aside and let him walk in.

"Who are you?"

Lin Hai looked at Su Chen with questioning eyes, and Wang Huizhong also had the same look. Su Chen smiled slightly and didn't care, and said, "I'm just a stranger passing by. I just understood the reason for your quarrel. You think the boss sold the coffin to cut corners, and the boss thinks you are blackmailing him, right?"

"That's right." Lin Hai nodded.

"So, the key to this matter is whether the coffin cuts corners."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? The key is that the black-hearted business now doesn't recognize it."

Lin Hai looked dissatisfied with Su Chen's words, and Wang Huizhong immediately retorted when he heard Lin Hai's words: "Our coffin never cut corners, why should I recognize it?"

"How can the coffin break without cutting corners?"

"That's your own problem."

...

Listening to the two of them quarreled again, Su Chen was helpless and stopped keeping it. He said directly: "Don't argue anymore. I have a way to prove it or not, and I guarantee that both of you will convince you."

As soon as Su Chen said this, Wang Huizhong and Lin Hai stopped arguing, and they all looked at him with suspicious eyes. The people watching the scene were the same, because they were confused, how could the young man in front of him come to a conclusion?

The normal coffin was broken, but the wood was still there, and it was still possible to see whether it was cutting corners from the wood. However, the situation this time was a bit special because it was broken on the road up the mountain. At that time, the Lin family was concerned about protecting the body, and many of the coffin boards slid down directly, and many of them could not be found.

"We can also reach conclusions without a coffin board, but before that, I need to ask a few questions, and you must answer me truthfully."

Lin Hai and Wang Huizhong looked at each other, and they both doubted whether the young man in front of him would be the one whom they found. However, when they saw so many people at the scene, they were not afraid that the other party would say the black ones to white ones, so they nodded and agreed.

"Brother, your surname is noble?" Su Chen looked at Lin Hai first.

"Linhai."

"Brother Lin, I'll ask you, what kind of relatives are you leaving, how old are you, and why are you leaving?"

"It's my father who left. He is 86 this year and is sick and old." Lin Hai was a little unhappy with Su Chen's question, but in the end he answered truthfully.

"Oh, that's the end of your life. I wonder how many brothers and sisters Brother Lin has?"

"My dad gave birth to five of us siblings, and I am the second child."

With Lin Hai's introduction, Su Chen noticed that in addition to two or three young people, Lin Hai had three middle-aged women on the scene. It seems that only one of Lin Hai's five siblings was present.

"Brother Lin, your boss hasn't come?"

"What does it have to do with you? It's the same if our boss didn't come."

When Lin Hai heard Su Chen's inquiry, a vigilant gaze flashed on his face first. Su Chen smiled and did not care about Lin Hai's attitude. After looking at the crowd, he walked to Lin Hai and whispered in the other person's ear.

As Su Wang finished speaking, Lin Hai's expression changed instantly. His eyes looked at Su Chen with shock and panic. Then he looked at his sisters again and pulled them aside and whispered.

This scene made the onlookers curious. I wonder what the young man said just now, why did he feel that the attitude of the people who came to make trouble in this family changed.

"Boss, things always need to be resolved. There are so many people here, so why not close the door first."

While Lin Hai was whispering to several sisters, Su Chen spoke to Wang Huizhong again. Wang Huizhong hesitated for a moment. There were so many neighbors who would help him if he didn't close the door. If the door was closed and the other party caused trouble, he would definitely suffer a loss by himself.

"Don't worry, they won't make trouble. They are more afraid of being watched than you now."
