Picking up the firewood, unsurprisingly, a clear layer of excavated soil was found in the corner of the wall.

The previous digger filled the soil quite perfunctorily, so that the clods were not completely compacted, and the height was uneven.

Casually taking the iron tongs next to him, Lu Jiu easily dug up the soil clods on the surface, in fact, after a few shovels, the end of the iron tongs touched a hard object.

After everything was cleaned up, what appeared in front of Lu Jiu was a wooden cover one foot long and wide, with an iron ring buckle, and he directly raised his hand to lift it.

An empty layer about one and a half feet deep, but the things placed in it surprised Lu Jiu, who thought it had been emptied a long time ago.

A kerosene lamp, a few candles, two folded "rat suits", that is, black onesies, in addition to a short peachwood sword, two masks...... I took out my clothes and kerosene lamp and looked through them, and they were full of dry crumble of dirt sticking to them.

"Heh, no wonder they look sneaky, it turns out to be two tomb robbers!"

That's right, in Lu Jiu's opinion, these things are obviously tomb robbery tools, and the slag on these things and the peach wood sword used to suppress evil spirits are the best proof.

And judging from the placement of the utensils in the space, there is obviously a half left on the left side, which should be specially used to store something, and it is likely to be the target of the last group of people who found this place.

It's just that why were the two tomb robbers approached by "themselves", didn't they deal with dead bodies......

Thinking about the relationship between the two, Lu Jiu's gaze stayed in the blank space, suddenly froze, leaned over and reached out to take out a metal lock engraved with cloud patterns from the space, looked back and forth, and then took off the backpack with his backhand, and pulled the lock of the outer zipper over for comparison.

Same!

The sudden unexpected discovery made Lu Jiu a little unresponsive for a while, and sat on the low stool behind him with a lock, frowning and falling into deep thought.

As a rich son, Zhou Ze's birthday gift to Lu Jiu is naturally not a bargain, the market price is 500 copper coins, this kind of thing is rarely bought by ordinary people, let alone this kind of broken house, which means that this moire lock cannot be the tomb robber's own thing.

Is it possible that it was left behind in my backpack?

The moire lock appeared in this place where the tomb robbery utensils and tomb robbers were found, and it is very likely that the two tomb robbers dug out of the coffin from which one they don't know.

Suddenly, he looked down at his heart, the scar and the sound of the disappearing heartbeat made Lu Jiu realize that he was likely to die once before the day he woke up.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Jiu's fingers turned a few more pages forward of the notepad, and found the page that recorded the memory fragments obtained by himself who was unconscious after the rampage:

'The sound of shoveling', 'the sound of a clod of dirt falling somewhere' (initially judged to be a wooden board or metal), 'dark environment' (blindfolds are not ruled out).

At the beginning, Lu Jiu couldn't understand the sound and environment, but now it seems that it is what he saw and heard in the coffin?

But shouldn't I be buried in a coffin, why is there still consciousness?

If he is a foreigner, if he really dies in this Changyi city, who will bury himself?

Thinking further through this moire lock, the reasons for the destruction of these two families are afraid that they also need to be investigated.

Taking out the notepad from his trouser pocket, Lu Jiu had already thought about his life and death in Changyi City when he was at home, so he had already set a place he had to go to before he came to Changyi County, that is, Yizhuang, which was used to store the corpses that were difficult to bury for unclaimed or implicated crimes!

Although most of the Yizhuang actually has nothing to do with the corpse, but is a donation point for people of the same clan to help each other, Changyi County itself has a large number of foreign populations because of its different industrial structure, so the Yizhuang here still undertakes the functions mentioned above.

If Lu Jiu was really killed by him because of the investigation of the heart-gouging ghost and had his heart stripped out, then eighty percent of his body would be sent to Yizhuang for temporary storage, Lu Jiu originally planned to go to Yizhuang today to inquire about the situation, but now that he found this moire lock, this trip is undoubtedly a must.

......

Towards noon, the rain that had been brewing since the early hours of the morning finally trickled down.

"Huh~ Childe, there is the Liushun factory in front, 20 copper coins. ”

The coachman tightened the reins of the horses, and came down to open the door for Lu Jiu in his coat, and the carriages carrying passengers in Changyi County were very common, but the back was not the previous "wooden box", but became an iron structure, and the curtain in front of it also became a small door open on the side.

Stretch out the oil-paper umbrella and look out at the steel factory in the smoke and rain ahead, as a place to store a large number of corpses, Yizhuang will naturally not be built in a residential area.

Lu Jiu had seen the map of Changyi County before he came, and naturally knew that the rear of the Liushun factory in the south of the city was where Yizhuang was located.

Beside him was the cacophony of the factory, and Lu Jiu walked through an alley full of wide metal pipes, and in front of him was an undeveloped wasteland, in which a black-tiled and white-walled Zhuangzi stood, surrounded by shrubs and weeds, out of place with the tall factory buildings around him.

Knock knock~

Walk on the stone path paved with broken stones to the door and knock on the door.

"What's the matter?"

It didn't take long for a greeting to be heard from inside the door.

"Claim the corpse!"

Lu Jiu is here to claim himself.

The door of the village opened, and an old man with gray hair and a slumped body looked up at Lu Jiu, who was still wearing a black gauze hat, and let him in.

In addition to the main entrance, the other three sides of the entire Zhuangzi are bungalows with closed windows and doors, and when the old man recloses the door, it becomes a closed state on all sides, even Lu Jiu felt depressed in the face of this environment, only for psychological reasons, pursed his lips and waited for the old man to speak.

"There are a lot of unclaimed corpses in Zhuangzi now, and if you want to find someone, you have to tell me the approximate time of death, gender, and appearance of the deceased. ”

The old man crossed over to Lu Jiu with his hands behind his back and walked towards the bungalow facing the gate.

"About seven days ago, the man, a young man, was quite handsome. ”

Following the old man to the eaves at the door of the bungalow, Lu Jiu looked at the room with no light inside, thought about it and said.

"Well, it's good to be a young man, this kind of dead person is easy to find, come with me, get a notebook that records the information of the corpse...... You're not here to find out what kind of hearthopper you're here, are you?"

The old man pushed open the door and suddenly looked back as if he had thought of something.

At first glance, Lu Jiu was also stunned, could it be that someone had come to check before?

Lu Jiu's silence undoubtedly verified the old man's question, the latter glanced sideways at Lu Jiu, his stiff face pulled out a sinister smile, and his seemingly sluggish body suddenly jumped forward and disappeared into the shadows in the room.

Suddenly, Lu Jiu, who was still at the door, only felt a strong sense of crisis rushing to his face!
