Chapter 226: Digging the Ancestral Grave (1)

Yesterday's torrential rain washed away the entire mountain forest and made it extremely refreshing, but the roads in the mountains became muddy, especially to get to the inaccessible place.

On this July morning, even though the morning sun was already shining through the dense forest on the slippery, overgrown road, I could still feel a refreshing cool breeze.

Although the wind is cool, my mood is not so cool and comfortable now. I didn't come here to travel in the mountains, but a bizarre case that dragged me here.

There was no homicide in this case, no peach-colored, and it seemed far less thrilling than those big cases that shook people's hearts. But this case still touched me very deeply, because it left a very legendary color in my detective career, and that kind of bizarre is still endlessly remembered in my heart.

In order to protect the privacy of the parties, I will not elaborate on the specific location of his home, and the names of the parties are replaced by pseudonyms.

Lao Lu and I walked on the muddy mountain road for about two hours, and finally came to the scene of the crime.

It is located deep in the mountains, surrounded by layers of green forests and verdant trees. And in the depths of such an inaccessible dense forest, there is a lonely grave. But this lonely tomb is not an ordinary lonely tomb, I visually inspected, the entire cemetery covers an area of about 50 square meters, and it is very old, obviously the ancient official eunuch or nobles left the cemetery.

In the eyes of archaeologists, such an ancient tomb must be a treasure. But the sight in front of them will definitely make them beat their chests and pound their hearts.

Because the entire cemetery collapsed, not only the tomb collapsed, the tombstone tilted, but even the one-person-high stone archway in front of the grave collapsed and shattered. It can be said that the entire tomb was extremely badly damaged.

Lao Lu looked at the messy cemetery in front of him, frowned and said, "This appearance is obviously man-made. ”

"yes, I don't know what goddamn bastard made like this?" The speaker was an old man close to 70 years old, with white hair and wrinkles.

This old man's name is Xue Dingli, and the seriously damaged cemetery in front of him is the ancestral tomb of his Xue family.

I found a mound of earth, which was slightly higher than the cemetery, and I looked at the whole cemetery and found that only the surface of the cemetery had been destroyed, and there was no trace of excavation in the tomb.

I jumped off the mound and walked into the cemetery, where I looked closely at the collapsed rocks and found that there were obvious pry marks on the edges of the stones, which were obviously destroyed by humans with tools such as steel drills. So who would destroy the ancestral tomb of the Schrödingli family?

The first thing that comes to my mind is the person who has a conflict with Schrödinger. Because since ancient times, ancestral graves have been said to protect future generations, and digging up people's ancestral graves is to destroy their main fortune and family fortune, which is the most vicious means of revenge. Although there is a heavy superstition in this, the cemetery where his ancestors rested was destroyed, and it is difficult to calm the anger in his heart.

I walked up to Schrödingli and asked, "Your ancestral tomb was destroyed, but the burial chamber where the coffin was stored was not opened, which shows that it was not the tomb robbers who destroyed the cemetery." Do you think about it, did you have a recent grudge against someone? ”

Xue Dingli squatted on a piece of bluestone, drooped his head and said: "I have lived in this mountain for most of my life, and I have never kicked my nose and face with anyone, so it is impossible to have a grudge with anyone." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any brothers and sisters besides you?" ”

Schrödingli said: "There are also two younger sisters and two younger brothers. ”

I said, "What about them? Have they ever had any enmity with anyone? ”

Xue Dingli said: "My two younger sisters have already married to other places, rarely come back, and will not make enemies with people in their hometown. The fourth brother has also settled in other places and has not returned home for three years. Only the second brother Xue Dingbang, he is a local small bag foreman, and he has some contact with people in the society, could it be that he has made enemies with someone who made those people come to destroy my family's ancestral grave? ”

I frowned and said, "Possibly." ”

At this time, the investigator in charge of the scene investigation came over and said to Lao Lu: "Team Lu, because it rained heavily last night, all the traces of crime at the scene were washed away by this rain, and we didn't even find suspicious footprints at the scene. ”

Lao Lu nodded and said, "Got it." ”

I thought to myself that the man who destroyed the cemetery was premeditated, and he took advantage of the heavy rain to destroy it. And this person has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, knowing that heavy rain can destroy his footprints.

But there is one thing that I still find strange, and that is that the destruction site is very extensive, and almost the entire grave has been destroyed. Moreover, the stone archway and the top of the tomb are made of bluestone weighing thousands of catties, and it is difficult to move and push them down by oneself. Then it can be seen that there is definitely more than one person who came to destroy the cemetery.

How much enmity do these people have with the Xue family, and they have to destroy the ancestral tomb of the Xue family so seriously?

As I left the cemetery, I looked at the collapsed stones again, and I thought that the reliefs on those stones were so lifelike, obviously from the people of that era.

It's a pity to be so scattered in the wilderness.

After going down the mountain, Xue Dingli took us to his second brother, Xue Dingbang.

Schrödingham is in his early sixties, but from the outside, he is only in his forties, and there is no indication that he is from the countryside.

His hair is dark and shiny, which is supposed to be the effect of baking oil, and a large back makes him look very bossy. Because he is slightly chubby, the wrinkles on his face are not very obvious, and the high-end blue short-sleeved shirt without wrinkles makes him look very energetic, and the straight black trousers and shiny black leather shoes make people think that he is a tasteful person at first glance.

This Schrödingham is indeed very different from his brother Schrödingli.

We met in Schrödingham's office, and from Schröding's eyes, I could see his disdain for Schrödingli.

However, when Xue Dingbang saw Lao Lu, it was the kind of mouse that saw a cat. Such a person may not know how many violations of law and discipline have accumulated behind his back.

After Xue Dingli saw Xue Dingbang, he said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, our Xue family's ancestral grave was dug up, and my mother cried so hard at home that she almost didn't survive. ”

When Xue Dingbang heard this, he grabbed Xue Dingli's shoulders with both hands, widened his round eyes, and said loudly: "What? What did you say? ”

Xue Dingli looked at Xue Dingbang and muttered: "The ancestral grave has been dug up, and the ancestral grave has been dug up." ”

Xue Dingbang should have heard it very clearly this time, he let go of Xue Dingli and seemed to stumble twice. I saw a hint of pain on his face, then an anger, and finally a bloodthirsty expression. I know that in Xue Dingbang's heart, he has some calculations about the excavation of the ancestral grave this time.
