Chapter Forty-Eight: The Altar of Ashes

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Digging Out of the Columbarium

Lu Li motioned for Qin Yue to close the cabinet door, frowning, and with a thoughtful look, Qin Yue walked to the sink and washed her hands with disinfectant: "The autopsy showed that the two had no external injuries, and no signs of internal injuries and poisoning were found after the autopsy, and sudden death caused by disease was also ruled out." ”

From the moment he entered the door, Lu Li didn't say a word, but it didn't mean that he hadn't heard Qin Yue's introduction, Qin Yue looked at Lu Li with a solemn face and couldn't guess what he was thinking: "Lu Li, it's been several days since the incident, there is no favorable evidence of his killing, and the family also hopes that the deceased can be buried as soon as possible, and he has already submitted several applications to get the body back, I think there are doubts that have been pressing......"

"Did the family find anything suspicious before the deceased died?"

Lu Li knew that the police must have done a detailed investigation of the family, and if the cause of the deceased's death was suspicious, the people who lived together in their daily lives should be able to detect the abnormal situation.

"Go to my office, we have made a record of the interviews with the family members and the workers of the deceased."

Qin Yue took Lu out of the morgue, the office building of the criminal police detachment was next door, although he was off on weekends, there were still many policemen working overtime, and he greeted Qin Yue when he met acquaintances on the road.

Qin Yue's office is on the second floor, in addition to the necessary office supplies and materials, there is also a pot of pothos on the desk, and the only thing that is a little feminine is the pink mouse pad.

Lu Li closed the above folder, and recorded all the information held by the deceased's family in detail in the interrogation record, and did not see anything wrong, out of a sensitivity, Lu Li was more concerned about the information provided by the deceased's co-workers.

The two deceased were divided into a group during weeding, and dug two jars in the process, and at first thought they had dug up a treasure, only to find that they were ashes, or which one was older, because the cremation technology was not high, and there were still a lot of residual bones in the ashes, according to the description of the workers who saw it, the ashes were two black earthen pots, and the mouth of the jars was sealed with red mud, black and red, and the workers remembered very clearly.

"Can I take a look at the two urns?"

Judging from the transcript, the place where the two deceased intersected, that is, they were weeded in the same group, and they dug up the ashes altar together, Lu Li felt that this should be a breakthrough point.

"Yesterday we went to look for the urn, but unfortunately, we found nothing."

Qin Yue poured a glass of water for Lu Li with a disposable cup: "Lu Li." Do you also think that these two people died strangely? ”

Lu Li didn't answer her directly, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, but now I don't know how the two died, the only way is to find out the ghosts of the two and ask: "Qin Yue, I'll go to Cuckoo Mountain in the evening, let's find the cause of death first." ”

"I'll go with you."

"What are you going to do?"

"Protect your ......"

Qin Yue blushed after speaking, Lu Li looked at her with a smile, but forgot for a moment the female policewoman beside her who was a good woman who was fighting violence and peace: "Okay, you give me the dates and months of birth of the two deceased, and then come with me to Cuckoo Mountain in the evening." ”

Lu Li took Sun Baocai and Fu Wenkai's birthdays, went back to school, went to the street to buy the items to be used by the way, and made an appointment with Qin Yue to meet at the foot of Azalea Mountain at ten o'clock in the evening.

In the afternoon, Yue Qingyou also went back to school, and the two had a couple meal at the western restaurant at the school gate, and after the meal, they walked around the campus for a while and waited for the time to be almost up, and Lu Li sent Yue Qingyou back to the dormitory.

"Old ghost, the investment in protecting the safety of one party is too great, right?"

Lu Li swayed all the way along the road to Rhododendron Mountain, and couldn't help muttering on the way, buying paper, buying cinnabar, seven, seven, eight, eight, although the money is not much, it is also a lot of expenses when there are many times, and the money from work-study cannot withstand waste.

The old ghost floated on the cyclone and hummed an unknown song leisurely, half-closed his eyes, and put his hands on his knees and clapped: "Little Liu, I think you spent all your money in love, right?" ”

Lu Li's face flushed, a couple package just now cost more than 300 yuan, and it was really as the predecessors said, talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money.

Lu Li didn't speak, it didn't mean that the old ghost didn't know what he was thinking: "Hehe...... Xiaoliu, your little girlfriend's family is quite rich, you might as well let her take care of you. ”

What is this called? Lu Li glanced at the old ghost, is our Xiaoliu the kind of person who eats soft rice?

But I'm still very depressed, I have to find some way to make money, and if I continue like this, let alone protect the safety of the party, I can't support myself.

Almost at the foot of the mountain, a car on the side of the road flashed its headlights twice towards Lu Li, Qin Yue arrived in advance, and the two of them carried the flashlight prepared by Qin Yue, went up along the plank road around the mountain, and climbed for an hour to reach the halfway point of the mountain.

"The coffin where the dead were dug up."

Qin Yue took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and pointed to Lu Li with the light of the flashlight, this place deviated from the plank road around the mountain, and the weeds were removed, like a pit, it was as big as a dozen square meters, and the pit seemed to be dug out manually, but it had been a long time, the vegetation had covered the traces of excavation, and there were signs of loose soil at the bottom of the pit, presumably where the ash altar was dug out.

Lu Li glanced around, there was nothing suspicious, took out the yellow talisman with the eight characters of the deceased's birthday, pinched his finger, and the talisman seal quickly turned into ashes under the blue flame, and there were words in his mouth: "Wandering souls, where to stay, the three souls descend early, the seven spirits are coming, Sun Baocai, Fu Wenkai's souls are coming!" ”

Qin Yue saw Lu Li casting spells for the first time, standing aside and not daring to come out, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, the terrifying thing did not happen as imagined, only to see Lu Li squatting back to the bottom of the pit depressedly and taking out a cigarette to light it.

"Lu Li, is there something wrong?"

Lu Li frowned, he didn't summon the soul of the dead just now, the first seven had not passed, and it was impossible to go to the underworld, the old ghost's explanation was that either the soul was scattered or artificially detained.

"It's okay, one method doesn't work, let's try something else."

Lu Li stepped on the cigarette butt and said to Qin Yue with a smile, stood up and walked to the side to find a tree stump, handed the flashlight to Qin Yue, and dug it up at the bottom of the pit.

"Lu Li, what are you looking for?"

Qin Yue was shining a light on Lu Li on the side, but she didn't know what Lu Li was going to do.

"I don't know what I'm going to find, try it!"

The soil at the bottom of the pit had been dug up, and it had rained a few days ago, so it was quite easy for Lu Li to dig up, and it didn't take ten minutes to dig out a small pit fifty or sixty centimeters deep.

"It's really famous."

A jet-black earthen jar was exposed, large in the middle and small at both ends, the opening part and bottom were the size of a small bowl, and the mouth of the jar was sealed with red clay.

"The ...... of the Altar"

Qin Yue screamed in surprise, this earthen pot was exactly the same as described by the deceased worker, and the black and red color was extremely eye-catching under the illumination of the flashlight.

Lu Li threw away the branches, and dug out the urn with both hands, Lu Li put the urn on the grass at the bottom of the pit, staring at it with a heavy face for a long time without speaking.

"Don't touch it......"
