The doorman called people to carry the coffin inside. Xie Chi deliberately dawdled and fell to the end of the line. He grabbed a servant and pointed to the copper cornered gold coffin to ask, “Who is in this coffin?”

The servant originally looked down on these scruffy Taoist priests. Then he saw Xie Chi’s gentle and clean eyes and immediately changed his attitude. He spoke warmly. 

“I heard it is the father of the young master’s wife who died early. The young master’s wife was abducted as a child and suffered a lot. She didn’t live a good life until she was bought by our young master. She has been looking for her relatives all these years and found her father two years ago. She thought it was a reunion with her family but unfortunately, it was a separation between Heaven and earth. Now she is planning to move her father’s grave. The Mian Mountains might be a treasure land of feng shui but it is too far away from Huai Ao to relive the young lady’s homesickness. Our young master’s wife is extremely filial.”

Lu Wen muttered, “If it is her father then the age fits.”

The zombie died more than 20 years ago and was around 20 years old when he died. Mrs Zhao was estimated to be around 20 so the difference was right.

Yan Jing rubbed his hair and stated, “Brother Xie, the fox spirit and zombie are a couple. The fox spirit and zombie also had a little fox spirit son. If the zombie is Mrs Zhao’s father then…” 

Yan Jing was surprised. “Is this a story of the zombie cheating with the fox spirit and abandoning his daughter, Mrs Zhao? Then is Mrs Zhao actually a fox spirit? What a mess…”

Xie Chi didn’t say anything. He waited for the servant to be called away before touching Yan Jing’s head. “You so easily believe other people’s words.”

Yan Jing stared. “What do you mean?”

Lu Wen also looked puzzled.

Xie Chi placed one hand against his cheek and spoke lightly. “The title of this movie is Zombie Lovers. If the fox spirit was the mistress then would it be described as ‘love’? This is a question mark. Zombie movies are more traditional and generally don’t sing praises for the mistresses. As for your second hypothesis, I will use the eight trigrams mirror when I see her to check if she is a spirit or a human. I’m 90% sure she isn’t a spirit.”

Xie Chi smiled. “I think that this zombie has nothing to do with the Zhao family.”

Yan Jing and Lu Wen had incredulous expressions.

“Why?!” 

Xie Chi smiled. “Mrs Zhao has been separated from her family since childhood. The subtext is that no one knows who her parents are, right? She wants to know who she is and is looking for relatives. Then what if she isn’t looking for relatives but… a corpse?”

Xie Chi continued. “On the surface, she is looking for living people but what she really wants is a corpse with signs of changing into a zombie. In the name of searching for relatives, she looked for a suitable corpse.”

Yan Jing was stunned.

“Let’s first assume that the zombie is really Mrs Zhao’s father. Then there is a problem. The servant said that Mrs Zhao found her father’s coffin two years ago. With her compassionate heart, would she have the patience to let her father be buried for a full two years in the distant Mian Mountains before making up her mind to move the grave? This is a bit contradictory.”
