_It's so miserable, my daughter-in-law just ran out the door and Trinh was already an ancient person.
Nam sat thinking for a few seconds then turned sympathetic eyes towards Mr. Xuat.
_ So can you let the forensic examiner examine him? Maybe Mr. Trinh was exposed to some kind of poison.
_ It's not poisonous. They examined it up and down and didn't find anything unusual.
Mr. Xuat exhaled and said, just then, a woman carrying a kettle came and poured them both cups of green tea.
_ This is Mai, my daughter-in-law.
Mr. Xuat said, the woman named Mai gave a sad smile.
_ Hello, I'm Nam.
_ Yes, a few years ago I saw you at Ms. Loan's house during her suicide...
Mai replied, returning Nam's greeting.
_ Yes, this time I heard the news, my sincere condolences to your family. Then I wanted to come down here to learn more about the situation to reassure the people of our village.
_ Yes, my village has been in a lot of trouble these days, but everyone has their own troubles.
Mr. Xuat spoke in a sad voice, then sighed. Mai also sat down next to her father-in-law and spoke up.
_ Actually, a few days before that happened, I saw that Mr. Trinh's left shoulder blade suddenly appeared several long birthmarks, as small as cat scratches.
_ So why didn't you tell people when you took him to the hospital?
Mr. Xuat said, Ms. Mai shook her head and replied:
_ Poor dad, if it was still there, I would have told you. That morning, the birthmark disappeared. At night, the same thing happened.
_ So, what about the next two people?
Nam asked, Mr. Xuat thought for a moment and then replied:
_ The symptoms were all the same as my Trinh's, everyone slept for more than two days and nights. When he woke up, he could only let out three distorted meows like a cat being hit with a stick and then fell over dead.
_ Oh yes, I've heard of this story, but did Mr. Chien Lung and Mr. Sang have any strange symptoms or signs before this happened?
_ I don't know about this, you should ask Chung's wife.
Mr. Xuat said and waved to a woman about 25 years old who was wearing a white outfit standing next to the coffin in the living room. This woman saw this and quickly approached the three people.
_ This is Dung, Chien Lung's wife. If you have anything, just ask him.
Mr. Xuat introduced himself after the deceased bowed slightly to Nam. This time he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. After hearing the question, Dung frowned and remembered for a while then replied:
_ Oh I remember, the other day there was a birthmark on Mr. Chien's shoulder...
_ Does it look a lot like a cat scratch?
Mai leaned forward slightly and asked, Dung replied equally surprised:
_ That's right, but how do you know?
_Well, Mr. Trinh, I also have the same problem.
Mai said, at this time some relatives nearby heard that and started whispering. Nam took out the notebook and carefully wrote down a few words.
“Before they died, the victims all had birthmarks on their left shoulders.”
Then, for some unknown reason, after bringing Chien Lung back to his motherland, the story of how the two Dao brothers, before falling into a coma, had birthmarks like cat scratches. In just a moment, it became a rumor that spread to the neighboring village. Of course, rumors always have to be unpublished. So the story about that vestige became some kind of terrible voodoo spell. Many people have a rather rich imagination and say:
_ Oh my god, I remember that day at Chien Lung's funeral, his grandmother and great-grandmother appeared and joined the family, crying and saying that their children and grandchildren had been taken away by the demon king's cat. But that guy's face looks terrible...
_ So how do you look, or are you just exaggerating..
Another person interjected, this old man responded after a long, loud shout:
_ I used my own eyes to lift up the paper covering its face. How could it be wrong? Hey, you know, its face looks exactly like a cat's... and it also has long fangs.
_ Oh that's it, I'll turn into a demon and die, I'll just have to be a little more careful, but unfortunately it'll show up and strangle me and then meow... ah, what a mistake.
The woman spoke again, with some fear in her heart because, after all, this woman and that peach family were also related, it was just that the cruise missile had not been launched for several months. It's unfortunate that the devil knows how to find out how to get involved in our family, it's miserable not only for her but also for the entire Man family. Then she reassured herself that the two families Dao Man and Dao Man had nothing to do with each other, so she told her son Rua to go to the district town and leave this village and that was it. Any devil who has free time goes to the district streets looking for people. In general, her worries were not a big deal and so were the people of the two villages. In short, only the Dao family was able to eat their fill of onions in just three months and had to buy three meals. Coffin shirt. To the point that Hung selling coffins on the street even wrote down the name of the Dao family member who became a regular customer, and also noted that he would reduce the service price by 20% to retain customers. It is also for that reason that after hearing that a dead person had traces of something related to the devil left on his body like a death omen, each family competes to reveal their backs and turn up their shirts. check on each other. Anyone with a bare white back
