Lu Jinping thought to himself that the footprints that appeared next to the grave were good clues to solve the case, and they could even directly lock the tomb robbers. It's just that because the villagers in the township found the tomb robbery, and some people went in to check it, even if the footprints near the tomb were left by the tomb robbers, I am afraid that they have been destroyed. But this is an important direction to detect, and it must be seen as soon as possible.

Lu Jinping immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yunshan Village immediately." ”

When Luo Judicial heard this, he was a little too anxious, saying that the wind is the rain. Of course, Lu Jinping's positive attitude moved him even more, stood up and thanked him repeatedly, and immediately ordered the horse to go to Yunshan Village.

In the Tang Dynasty, martial arts prevailed, and even when civil officials of the imperial court traveled, most of them rode horses. So almost all of them can ride horses. The three of them rode horses and led their entourage to Yunshan Village.

Of course, Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing and his forensic investigation box, which was carried by Ye Qingqing and was specially responsible for keeping it. In order to avoid people's eyes, the outside of the forensic investigation box is wrapped in a blue cloth, and the dazzling aluminum alloy inside is not visible.

Yunshan Village is not too far from the Tongzhou capital, and it will arrive at noon. There was already a catcher who arrived first and notified Li Cunzheng in the village. Li Cunzheng took the squire of the village to greet him at the entrance of the village in person, because in addition to the seven-rank Sima who was in charge of the prison in the same state, there was also a five-rank lord, which was a very high-ranking official.

They waited at the entrance of the village, and after Lu Jinping and them came, Li Cun was taking the squire to toast, Lu Jinping waved his hand and said: "We are not here to be guests, hurry up and take us to General Li's ancestral grave, and we will start handling the case immediately." All the tricks are gone. ”

Li Cunzheng didn't expect the lord to be so young, and he didn't care about courtesy at all. Surprised and a little nervous, he hurriedly led them to the ancestral grave of General Li on the hill outside the village.

General Lee's ancestral grave is on a small hillside with tombs on all sides, which is the main burial mound in the area.

When it was still a hundred and ten steps away from General Li's stolen ancestral grave, Lu Jinping asked the others to stay where they were and not move, and went over to check on themselves.

As he approached in the hope of finding useful footprints on the ground, he was disappointed, because there were no clear footprints on the ground that could be identified, and he could not find a complete shoe print for identification until he walked to the tomb of General Li's grandmother. Judging by the dry soil around it, it shouldn't rain much during this time. Therefore, the surrounding land has long since dried up, and people have trampled on it, and the footprints left by it have long been destroyed.

Lu Jinping returned his gaze to the grave of General Li's grandmother, which was no different from other graves, the grave was neatly stacked with stones around it, and the grave bag was covered with grass. On one side of the grave, there is a robbery hole, the size of which can be drilled into a person, although it is backfilled, but the case is not solved, so it is only a simple backfill, and it is not repaired, compared to the grassy grave next to it, you can see the backfilled thief hole at a glance.

Lu Jinping looked around, and there were no other suspicious situations in this grave mountain that attracted his attention.

Lu Jinping called Li Cunzheng over and asked, "Is this the thief hole?" ”

"Yes, after the Yamen investigation, General Li's family blocked it again."

"Is the whole hole blocked? Or just plug the outside opening? ”

Li Cun was busy saying: "It was filled by the people of General Li's family, and we don't know the specifics." ”

"Is there anyone else in the village?"

"There is an uncle and grandfather here, who is entrusted to him to take care of it, General Li and his family have already moved to the capital to live, and this uncle and grandfather are in the village."

"Can you bring him here?"

Li Cunzheng said: "Yes, it's just that his legs and feet are not very dexterous, and I originally wanted to come to the entrance of the village together to greet you, but his legs and feet are not good, so it is inconvenient to come." However, when the dinner party entertains Luo Judicial and Lord Lu, he will attend. Since the lord is going to invite him now, let's have someone carry him. ”

After Li Cunzheng sent the villagers to carry General Li's uncle, Lu Jinping asked Li Cunzheng: "Who do you think is more likely to rob the tomb?" ”

Li Cunzheng glanced at Luo Justice, smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "This ......, when Luo Justice came to investigate before, we thought about all the people we could think of, arrested and beat them, and some confessed, but we still didn't find the bones and funeral items of General Li's grandmother. Therefore, we really don't know who did such a hurtful thing to rob the tomb, and we can't think of anyone else who could be a tomb robber. ”

Lu Jinping said: "What are the stolen things? ”

This Li Cunzheng couldn't answer, because he didn't participate in the investigation, so he set his sights on Luo Justice.

Luo said: "The funeral things are not very precious, just some ceramic utensils, and clothes and the like, and there are no gold and silver treasures. At that time, the Li family was worried that someone would dig up the grave, so they didn't dare to bury something too precious. Unexpectedly, the tomb was robbed, and even the bones were gone. ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said: "This is indeed a little strange, it stands to reason that the tomb robber stole the burial items, this is a matter of course, but he stole all the bones, this is really incomprehensible." ”

"In the grave robbery cases we have cracked before, the bones have also been stolen, but most of them are thrown near the tomb in order to take off the valuable clothes on the bones and then throw away the bones," Luo said. However, we searched carefully all around and did not find any bones. ”

"Will it be taken away by dogs or wolves? Or is it afraid of being discovered, hiding or burying it? ”

"Well, the lord is so right, we didn't expect this, I immediately sent someone to expand the search area, and at the same time pay attention to the hidden places to see if we can find clues to the bones."

Lu Jinping nodded and began to search around the tomb mountain to see if he could find any clues. But sadly, no clues were found.

At this time, General Li's uncle and grandfather sat on a sedan chair and was carried by several villagers.

General Li's uncle was indeed old enough, with white hair fluttering in the cold wind, looking very depressed, followed by two young men, and when they got closer, the villagers put down the sedan chair.

After Li Cunzheng made an introduction, the uncle arched his hand and said: "The villain saw the two adults, and the two adults came to investigate the case. ”

Lu Jinping said politely.

The uncle then introduced the two young men behind him, his son and nephew, but because they were from General Li's uncle's family, they did not belong to General Li's family, but lived here in the same village, so they took care of the ancestral grave of the Li family, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Lu Jinping asked: "General Li's grandmother's grave was dug up, and the backfill after that was done by someone you sent?" ”

The uncle nodded and said: "That's right, at that time, Mr. Yin and Yang were invited to watch the days, and the matter involving the ancestral tomb cannot be said to be sealed, so it can only be covered with a straw mat for the time being." After inviting Mr. Yin and Yang to see it, Zhang Blind Man saw it, and determined the date, and then my two nephews re-plugged the thief hole, and invited a few Taoists to do the rituals. ”

Lu Jinping asked: "When backfilling at that time, did you block the entire thief hole, or did you only seal the outer layer?" ”

And he sealed the outside. Because the people of the Li family said that in the future, if they found the bones of their grandmother, they would need to be reburied and asked the mage to do it, so it was enough to simply close it. ”

Lu Jinping asked again: "Do you know what the situation is like under this grave?" ”

"I've heard that there is a burial chamber underneath, built of bricks on all sides, and a coffin is placed in the middle, which belongs to General Li's grandmother. The burial chamber contains the burial of ceramic vessels, and because General Li never liked to be publicized in front of people, the tomb was relatively simple. ”

Lu Jinping said: "I want to dig the robbery hole again, enter the tomb, and see if the tomb robbers have left some traces, do you think it's okay?" ”

Uncle and grandfather were taken aback: "Why do you want to go in?" Haven't you already checked it? ”

"It's different, I'm going to check it out for myself."

"I don't dare to agree to this, I have to send someone to the capital to ask General Li, and he needs permission."
