Chapter 29: The Empty Coffin in the Cemetery

Sister Meng is the sister of Meng Xiaojun, when the Meng couple sent me and my grandfather up the mountain, I had some things stored in the ancestral house of the Meng family, and the Meng family passed away one after another, and the ancestral house was inherited by the only remaining daughter, Sister Meng.

When I came to the ancestral house of the Meng family, I found that this place was very strange, so I rescued Sister Meng and rescued her from the state of Zhonggu, and I was also treated by her as a guest and stayed in the ancestral house for a while.

During this period, Sister Meng introduced me to a business to help a family of overseas Chinese relocate and bury, and they planned to unearth the bones of their ancestors and bring them back to their current country by cremation, and Sister Meng took over the business for me.

I wanted to refuse, but I really didn't have much money to support myself to find an enemy.

Under normal circumstances, the remains of the ancestors may be decomposed by natural conditions in a few months, so the coffins and non-decomposable parts in the cemetery are generally cremated, or transferred to the designated place, which is the relocation of burial.

I sent out an invitation from my local peers, and hired four young and strong people to help me move the burial at the price of 1,000 yuan per person, and the relocation required digging the graves of the ancestors, in addition to digging the graves by manpower, and at the same time using the masculinity of young people to suppress the evil spirit of coming to the cemetery, which was also in line with the concept of one thing descending one thing.

The overseas Chinese went with me to Paul to choose a suitable urn, and the four insiders dug up the grave according to the code of the tombstone, and then waited for me and the overseas Chinese to go to the scene to hold a small ceremony, but the overseas Chinese copied a wrong number, which caused the four insiders to dig up a new grave, and a grave without the personal information of the deceased was dug up.

When I arrived at the scene with overseas Chinese, the four insiders had already dug up the coffin, and the lid had barely been opened, and the family of the deceased had just come to the scene, and a certain degree of conflict broke out directly, and it was not yet a situation of moving hands and feet, but the main responsibility was indeed on our side, so we must bow our heads and admit our mistakes to avoid the escalation of the conflict.

"You people are really disgusting." The parents of the deceased have resentment on their faces, their son is a juvenile delinquent, who wiped out a family and became the first juvenile delinquent sentenced to death in the history of the city.

"I'm sorry, we made a mistake, let me help you deal with the scene." I can only stand up and be scolded, and then propose a better solution, free to help the deceased do another burial ceremony, and the process is the same as burial, to rebury the coffin that has been cut open, and complete the same number of rituals as before.

The overseas Chinese also agreed to the relevant compensation, because they copied a wrong number, which caused four insiders to directly dig a new grave, a new grave that had just been buried for less than a week, and the deceased was estimated to be intact, but it was also necessary to take the coffin out of the soil layer and bury it again, and the rules were like this.

The four insiders gently lifted the coffin in the pit with a noose, and when the four of them worked together to lift the coffin, it felt very wrong, because the deceased used a Liuzhou coffin, and the Liuzhou coffin has a characteristic, that is, the weight of the coffin itself is about the same as the weight of the corpse or even lighter than the corpse.

The deceased who was dug out was a strong guy himself, and his weight was heavier than the coffin in Liuzhou, but when the four insiders worked together to lift out the coffin, they obviously felt that something was wrong, and the weight difference was doubled, making the four of them look at each other, knowing that things have become not simple, and someone must start talking.

"Something is wrong, the coffin is very light." An elderly insider spoke, and he knew that if he was charged with robbing the tomb, everyone would have to go in and squat in for a few years, so the insider spoke out of fear of getting into trouble.

"Don't talk nonsense, you guys, I watched my son's body be put in the coffin." When the father of the deceased heard this, he thought that it was someone on our side who wanted to shirk the responsibility and deliberately said that the coffin was particularly light, and that the father of the deceased did not provide his son with good funeral goods, so it was impossible for the tomb robbery to happen.

"It's true that the coffin is lighter." I held the bottom of the coffin and spoke, the rope and tripod hung the coffin, and then I shook the coffin slightly, and the magnitude of the coffin's shaking was obvious, which meant that there was no body inside.

Everyone present felt that something was wrong, there had been a case of stealing corpses in the city before, but after a period of hard crackdown, many corpse thieves gangs and individuals had been arrested, and the deceased had been buried for less than a week, and the weather had just warmed up, and the corpses were not decomposed so quickly, so everyone began to move closer to the same idea.

After I and the others heard it, they all felt strange, a coffin that had not been pried open, the body inside would be gone This thing is beyond our imagination, I found that there is a hole under the coffin of the best Liuzhou, this thing makes me feel even more strange, there are people on the coffin, and the body cannot come out of that hole.

After asking for the consent of the deceased's family, we pulled out all the coffin nails on the coffin, and then opened the coffin little by little, what greeted us was not the smell of corpses, but a very heavy musty smell, there was really no corpse inside, and the coffin was still a large area of dampness, as if it was irrigated with a lot of water.

The empty coffin is already a clear case of tomb robbery, and the patrol quickly arrived at the scene to assist in the investigation, and found that there were a lot of water traces in the coffin, and the burial goods were still inside, but the body of the deceased was missing, this matter was quickly taken seriously, because it was related to another corpse robbery gang, especially this kind of modus operandi.

This matter soon spread in the local area, and everyone was afraid that their ancestors were stolen by this group, so many people launched activities and unearthed their families to check whether the coffin had been stolen, and it turned out that seven bodies in the cemetery were missing, and these seven bodies had one thing in common, they were all very close to the time of death.

I asked for information about the deceased from my peers, and found that almost all of them died in the shade, that is to say, someone was collecting corpses to do bad things, and my first reaction was the corpse master, and there is only such a person who will be so fascinated by corpses.

After that, I began to investigate in the local area, to find out the relationship between this group of people and the corpse.
