Chapter 21: The Female Ghost in Red

Lin Fei dug the grave for the first time, but he didn't feel anything wrong, and he was extremely relieved. I feel full of resentment, so that my inexhaustible strength has found a place to vent/dig.

Zhuang Rou had already finished eating the cake, and after a few days, she felt a little dry when she was full. After thinking about it, she got up again and went into the woods to find water to drink.

By the time she came back, Lin Fei had already dug up all the graves, revealing the black coffin inside. He didn't open it, it's okay to dig the earth, but there is a problem with opening the coffin, which is a crime.

He knew very well why he wanted to be arrested, that is, he felt that the law should be obeyed, and everyone should keep the law, so that everyone can live a peaceful life.

He has kept this belief since he was a child, and even when he was caught, he never did anything to fish and flesh the people, so he is also a person who will not be flexible. And digging up the soil on the grave is already his biggest limit, and he can't accept it if he opens the coffin.

Seeing Zhuang Rou coming back, he threw the hoe and said, "Dig it, I won't open the coffin for you." ”

"Okay, you can stand by and watch." Zhuang Rou nodded, took out a handkerchief and tied it to his face to cover his mouth and nose, which was of no use to the smell of rotting corpses. But something is better than nothing, and it's better to block the flying bugs or something.

She walked to the edge of the pit, pulled out a flat-headed crowbar from behind her waist, and pried it up by the edge of the large iron nail inserted into the lid of the coffin. The tools were all brought, Lin Fei thought about it next to her, but she didn't understand why she didn't bring a lantern, what if there were clouds and no moonlight tonight?

The nails on the coffin lid creaked, and she pried them up little by little, one after another, and the finger-thick nails were all pried up and thrown aside. There are no more nails, now just push.

Zhuang Rou threw away the hoe, smacked her hands twice, and pressed her hands on the side of the coffin lid to push the coffin lid away. But I don't know if it was because the coffin lid was too tightly pressed by the dirt after a long time, or if it was already very heavy, the coffin lid just shook and was not pushed open by her.

"Hah!" She let out a low snort, took out the strength to feed, and slowly moved the lid of the coffin to the side. After pushing for a while, he was blocked by the dirt next to him, and he didn't move at all.

Zhuang Rou stopped speechlessly, looked up at Lin Fei, and there was only one meaning in his eyes, what kind of soil was dug up, he couldn't push it away!

Seeing her like that, Lin Fei had to jump down irritably, and pushed the coffin away with her.

Suddenly, a suffocating stench rushed out of the coffin, and the two almost vomited on the spot.

Zhuang Rou, who was masked, couldn't stand the smell either, so she threw herself to the edge of the pit and took a few breaths of the unpolluted air, pinched her nose and said, "It stinks, it's different from stuffing inside the coffin and drying outside, and the smell is too strong!" ”

"What to dry! It's not bacon, what nonsense! Lin Fei scolded angrily, his favorite thing to eat is bacon, how do you look at the hanging bacon after she said this.

"I also said that I was amazing, and I ran away when I smelled it!" He finally seized the opportunity, and mocked Zhuang Rou without wasting anything.

Zhuang Rou waved her hand and said without being ashamed: "Who hasn't smelled the dead, but the smell is too big when it suddenly comes out, and I can't hold back for a while." Alright, you go and stand by while I come and look for it. ”

Lin Fei saw that she didn't bring anything, and walked to the coffin empty-handed, so he frowned and said, "You just go over like this, and you are not afraid of contracting any corpse plague?" ”

"......" Zhuang Rou stood there and looked at him for a long time before taking out a pair of leather gloves from his arms, which could be seen in the moonlight that the sewing was particularly fine, and it was not new.

This pair of gloves made Lin Fei suddenly furious, and he pulled out the saber with a loud noise, "Touch the golden gloves, they are still used by veterans, who are you!" ”

He recognized at a glance the origin of the glove, which was specially made of soft lambskin by tomb robbers to prevent their hands from touching the corpse directly, and contracted some unclean disease. This is different from the winter worn by ordinary rich people, it is extraordinarily close to the hand, except for those who specialize in providing tomb robbery tools, ordinary tailors can't sew it.

And this pair in Zhuang Rou's hand is not only exquisitely made, but also often used wear and tear, and you can know that it is a commonly used thing at a glance.

Lin Fei is now very suspicious of Zhuang Rou's identity, what happened today is really unbelievable!

Seeing his solemn look, Zhuang Rou shook her gloves and put them on, and said slowly: "Actually, before you came, I did go to find something to eat, and then caught a few tomb robbers by the way. When you see that these gloves are very useful, you borrow them and use them, don't make such a fuss. ”

"Where are those grave robbers, why don't you kidnap people!" Lin Fei frowned suspiciously and asked, no matter how you look at it, you feel suspicious!

Zhuang Rou put on her gloves and pointed in a direction behind her, "It's over there, I took a look when I went to drink water just now, and they are still digging and leaving." ”

"Huh?" Lin Fei looked at her in disbelief, the tomb robbers found that she was still not leaving, and she could continue to dig graves there?

"If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself, they should still be digging. I'm here to do the autopsy, and you'll see if you come back. Zhuang Rou finally took out the fire fold, lit a candle, and looked into the coffin as soon as she leaned in to hold back the stench.

"Wow! The flesh under the clothes feels weird! ”

"There are worms! This coffin is not tightly sealed, is there less spices? ”

"Hey, there's pearls and gold and silverware. This jade pendant is good, Hubu Langzhong must be greedy for a lot of silver, Zhao Li'an has a lot of funeral goods, we seem to have made a fortune. ”

Lin Fei couldn't listen anymore, "We're here to solve the case, not to rob the tomb, you are not allowed to take those things!" ”

When Zhuang Rou heard this, she raised her head and looked, her eyes narrowed, and she said, "So you believe me?" Then please go and see how those tomb robbers are digging. ”

"Are there really grave robbers?" Lin Fei thought that she got the gloves from somewhere, but she didn't expect that she was telling the truth, and there were really tomb robbers.

"Yes."

"It's really yours, and you're only saying it now!" Lin Fei was about to vomit blood, so he quickly flew and ran to the place she pointed out just now, how could she meet a tomb robber and let it go, how could she be arrested!

Zhuang Rou felt that he was too unreliable, and if he was shocked all day long, he couldn't stabilize the point. It's really tiring to investigate a case with such a person, like going out with a child.

She raised her eyebrows and threw Lin Fei behind, concentrating on turning it up inside the coffin.

If Zhao Lichuan's cause of death was the same as Fu Houfa's, the iron needle would have been hidden by pretence, and it would definitely still be in the corpse.

So, she put her hand on the rotting corpse and touched it little by little, trying to find a slender object as hard as a needle inside. After touching for a long time, the needle was not found, and the funeral ornaments were touched.

Zhuang Rou stared at Zhao Lichuan's rotten face, and after being silent for a long time, she said, "You can't bite, right?" Then he put his hand to his lips to see if there was anything in his mouth.

But after hesitating, she moved her hand down to her neck and pressed it hard. Touching it to his throat, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his fingers pulled out hard, and there was a finger-long iron needle between his two fingers.

"Throat?" Zhuang Rou was a little puzzled, if it was not easy to insert such a long needle directly into people's mouths without realizing it.

However, this can also confirm that the case of Zhao Li'an's death and Fu Houfa were committed by the same person, and there are only three other cases missing. If you have iron needles, then it seems that you can go to Zhuangyuanlang and ask.

She took out a piece of cotton cloth, placed the iron needle on it, and took off the stained gloves. Only then did he wrap the iron needle in a cotton cloth, and then put it in a leather bag and crawled out of the pit, and before the person could stand still, he heard Lin Fei's voice from the woods.

"Zhuang Rou! What the hell have you done! ”

"What's wrong again?" Zhuang Rou put the leather bag in the small wooden box hanging on her waist, tilted her head and looked at it puzzled.

I saw Lin Fei running out of the woods, with a woman with a pale face and a red dress on her back, and it was so weird in this cemetery in the middle of the night.

Zhuang Rou blinked, took two steps back, and shouted vigilantly: "Lin Fei, there is a female ghost in red on your back......"

"What a female ghost in red, come and save people!" Lin Fei scolded, ran to her and put the person down, and said anxiously, "Quick, you are a woman, hurry up and help save her, it's inconvenient for me to be a man!" Then he hurried into the woods, not knowing what he was doing.

Zhuang Rou squatted down and tried it at the nostrils of the female ghost, and found that she still had a faint breath, and there was no injury on her body when she touched it, but she was unconscious.

She pinched the other party's middle and slapped her face a few times, but the female ghost didn't have the slightest intention of waking up.

"I'm going to have to find some stimulation, I don't have any medicine to wake my mind." Zhuang Rou touched herself, and suddenly she had an idea, picked up the female ghost and got it to Zhao Li'an's coffin, and put the female ghost's head up.

Probably because the coffin was too smelly, and after a while, the female ghost's eyelids moved and slowly woke up. Her eyes opened blankly, and she subconsciously looked around, and suddenly saw Zhao Li'an's corpse, and immediately screamed.

Suddenly, a woman's terrible cry came from the quiet garden, and the birds flew up in an uproar, and even pirates had to be scared to death by her.

Until Zhuang Rou dragged the female ghost to the side, she was still screaming in horror and couldn't stop at all.

"Smack!"

Zhuang Rou slapped her hard, and immediately made her dumb, covered her face and asked, "Ah, where is this?" ”

"There is a handsome hero who has dug you out of the cemetery when he sees that the road is uneven, and if the grace of saving his life is not repaid, if you want to make a promise, look for him." Zhuang Rou looked at her and said.

Hearing this, the female ghost muttered to herself, "In the tomb...... Am I dead? ”

Zhuang Rou looked at her and said, "Don't you know if you are dead or not?" But when your savior returns, you ask him directly. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound in the bushes, and Lin Fei grabbed the three people and walked out and threw them directly on the ground.
