Chapter 32: The Tomb of Cuilian is gone
"Mayor Zong, may I ask what happened to the Yang Mansion back then?"
Shi Chen didn't ink, and asked the question in his heart directly.
"This matter has to start with Miss Yang Cuilian of the Yang family..."
Mayor Zong put the brush in his hand on the stove and told with some emotion.
Shi Chen frowned slightly.
Yang Cuilian?
It's a familiar name, and I seem to have some impression of this name.
But before he had time to think about it, the story told by Mayor Zong attracted all his attention.
It took half an hour for Mayor Zong to finish telling the whole story.
I have to admit that Mayor Zongshen is a person of considerable skill, he made up the whole incident into a story, and perfectly told everything he knew from a third-person perspective, and even inserted a lot of his personal opinions during the period.
When he heard that Master Yang broke Danzhu's other leg and threw it away on the outskirts of Ping'an Town, and gave Cuilian an abortion pill, Shi Chen couldn't help but clench his fists.
"This Master Yang is too hateful!"
Hearing Shi Chen couldn't help but interject, Mayor Zong also stopped talking, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.
"I can't completely blame the old man of the Yang family, ten years ago, He Shaoshuai was young and arrogant, he personally came to ask for a kiss, not allowed, it was a dead end."
The mayor of the town was indignant when he saw Shi Chen, and mentioned a certain big man very rarely.
Today's commander of Hunan Province, He Dashuai!
Of course, ten years ago, he was still He Shaoshuai.
"He Shaoshuai..."
Shi Chen was thoughtful, but he was also cautious and did not comment much, at this time, all over the country, the warlords were divided, the troubled times were heroic, the soldiers were strong, and the domineering was domineering.
Seeing that Shi Chen had figured out something, Mayor Zong then began to speak.
Until Mayor Zong finished speaking, Shi Chen didn't speak again, from the story of the Yang Mansion, he felt the abomination of the troubled times for the first time, and his previous relaxed mentality was also a lot more restrained.
After listening to the whole story, Shi Chen's first feeling was that Yang Cuilian turned into a ghost and asked for the Yang family's life, so none of the thirty-seven lives, including the family servants, were left.
Seeing Shi Chen thinking, Mayor Zong was not in a hurry to urge, in this young man who did not look amazing, he saw an indescribable vitality.
"Is that Mr. Tabuki dead?"
Shi Chen suddenly raised his head and asked.
Mr. Danzhu is definitely the key figure.
The question had just been blurted out, but Mayor Zong shook his head rarely.
"I don't know, after Danzhu was broken and discarded by the Yang family, the tavern owner once sent someone to look for it, to say that he was dead, no one received the corpse, and if he said he was alive, no one had seen anyone."
Shi Chen's mind was a little messy, as if there were clues everywhere, and it seemed that he couldn't figure it out everywhere.
"By the way, Wencai, I have a photo here, and I am allowed to give you some help."
With that, Mayor Zong got up and walked through the hall behind him, and walked into the bedroom, and after a while, he walked out.
There is an extra black and white photo in hand.
"This is the only group photo of the Yang family, which I specially picked up after the incident, probably a year before the incident, when there was the first photo studio in Shicheng County, and the Yang family specially spent a lot of money to invite a photographer from the county to take this group photo."
Shi Chen took the photo and put it in his hand to look at it.
The photos of this period are very blurry, so Shi Chen, who has traveled from the modern era of high pixels, is very uncomfortable.
"Huh, this woman?"
With just one glance, Shi Chen was attracted to all the attention of a young woman in the photo.
"That's right, this is Miss Yang, Yang Cuilian." Mayor Zong watched Shi Chen's every move in his eyes, and added in time.
saw Shi Chen's brows screwed together instantly, and his face was incredulous.
"I've seen her..."
"Impossible."
Mayor Zong replied firmly.
It has been more than ten years since Miss Yang died by herself, whether it is a ghost or a human, Wencai is accompanied by Uncle Nine all day long, how can she have seen Yang Cuilian?!
Shi Chen didn't argue with Mayor Zong, and got up to leave.
"Thank you Mayor Zong for telling me the beginning and end of the Yang family in his busy schedule, this photo will lend me for the time being, and Wen Cai will retire first!"
After speaking, without waiting for Mayor Zong's response, he walked out of the mayor's house quickly.
Shi Chen did see it, and it was just the day before yesterday.
He sent the young man in sackcloth Shen Haiwei home, and in the remote mass grave he passed by, the grave that was taken care of, the black and white photos of the grave, and the girl in red that he met on the way back were exactly the same as the Miss Yang family in the photo of the Yang family.
As for the name of the tomb owner, he also recalled.
It's Yang Cuilian!
At present, regarding the real murderer of the Yang family, the biggest possibility is that Yang Cuilian turned into a ghost to retaliate.
However, Shi Chen's heart still found it difficult to accept that the playful and cute girl who asked for directions would be a murderous ghost who took thirty-seven lives in a row.
Thinking in his heart, Shi Chen's feet did not stop, and he rushed towards the outside of the town without stopping.
In place, Mayor Zong looked at Shi Chen's departing back and was particularly fascinated...
The day before yesterday, when Shi Chen and Shen Haiwei, a young man in Mai, came, they didn't feel that the distance was too far while talking, but this time, Shi Chen ran for more than ten minutes, and ran out of breath before he came to that mass grave.
Just as when I came the day before.
The graves are overgrown with weeds, the graves are dilapidated, and there are small holes dug out by wild animals everywhere.
Yang Cuilian...
Shi Chen read silently in his mouth, eagerly looking for it in this mass grave.
After a while, he stopped looking.
He searched every grave, but he still didn't see the tomb of Yang Cuilian that he saw that day.
"Damn, where did Yang Cuilian's tomb go?"
Ghosts can move, but no ghosts will move their own graves, right?
Not far from the mass grave, there is a verdant bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest is lush, the bamboo leaves are verdant, and it looks like the bamboo is more than a few years old, or even ten years old.
At this time, a middle-aged man with crutches and a bun stood silently in the hidden place of the bamboo forest, observing Shi Chen, who was anxiously looking for him in the mass grave.
Shi Chen didn't know that he was being secretly observed.
At this time, he was very anxious.
The strange scene of the encounter that day resurfaced
I saw it with my own eyes that day, and I also helped Yang Cuilian remove weeds in front of her grave.
Could it be that I was delusional, or was I under some kind of illusion?
That's right, Shen Haiwei!
You can go to Shen Haiwei yourself.
Shen Haiwei, a young man in sackcloth, lives near here, and must have passed through this mass grave from time to time.
The tomb of Yang Cuilian that day was clean and tidy, compared with the mass grave next to it, it was like standing out from the crowd, eye-catching and abnormal, whether it was here, as long as I asked him, there should be a conclusion.
Shi Chen spread his legs and continued to run wildly, he was about to go to Shen Haiwei's house.
And the double-crutched figure in the bamboo forest looked at the direction of Shi Chen's departure and showed a trace of jealousy, and then silently disappeared his figure into the bamboo forest.
