Chapter 54: Artemisia Rehabilitation Program (5)
Three big men stood in the graveyard in the cold wind of the moonlight in the middle of the night, shivering.
Lu Xun was holding a flashlight and wearing a black combat uniform.
Storm carried a bamboo basket filled with wild vegetables, like a vegetable farmer passing by to make soy sauce.
The colonel was still wearing pajamas and a coat, and he didn't even have time to change his shoes, and he was still wearing plastic slippers under his feet.
Three men dressed in different costumes gathered in the graveyard in the middle of the night, and the night was dark and windy, looking like some kind of secret meeting.
The three of them surrounded the big pit on the ground, and the bones scattered outside had been collected by them, and Lu Xun and Storm could barely reduce the bones to a human form, but there were a few humerus, ulnas and femurs that could not be found, if nothing else, they should have been gnawed by animals.
Lu Xun squatted on the edge of the big pit, shining a flashlight at the bottom of the pit, he pinched up a little soil and twisted it, it was obvious that the grave had not been dug up for a long time, and the soil in the pit was still damp.
The Colonel glanced at the epitaph on the tombstone, the owner of which was Edward Haythal, born in 2000 and died in 2045, the Colonel remembered this man, a key member of the Enforcement Department when the Security Zone was first established, and an old subordinate of Sean, who died in a hunter raid.
"Who did this?" Storm asked, "Who will run to dig graves?" ”
The colonel really wondered, this is really a strange thing, who would run into the cemetery to dig someone else's grave? There are only bones in the grave that have rotted for many years, and ordinary people avoid them.
"Is it because there's something in the grave?" Storm asked, "Someone is looking for something, so they came to rob the tomb?" ”
The colonel jumped directly into the pit, but the old man was not particular about it, and he got on it in his pajamas and slippers, and he bent down to grope carefully in the grave, and there were a few dirty rags in the pit, and he took out the rags and threw them on the grass.
It was a combat uniform of the Executive Department, but its original shape was no longer visible, and at first glance it was thought to be a dirt-stained rag, and the owner of this suit was obviously Edward Haytham, who was worn on him when the academy buried the dead.
There was nothing else in the grave except this dress.
It stands to reason that there won't be anything in the tomb, what age is this, the set of funeral goods has long been swept into the garbage heap of history, and besides, any funeral goods in this world are worthless, even the money itself is not valuable...... Nowadays, when the security zone buries the deceased, it chooses to cremate the deceased first, and then bury his nameplate in the cemetery with the ashes.
As for the personal property of the deceased, it is generally given to other living persons in accordance with the will.
As for the will...... This is something that everyone has, and it was written before the mission, even Lu Xun has it, and although he doesn't have much property, he still wrote it in his suicide note: if he hangs up one day, then all his things will be left to Lemon, the director, and his comrades in the hummingbird team.
That is to say, in the cemetery in the safe zone, there is practically nothing left except corpses and ashes.
What can be the attraction of such a place?
The colonel climbed up and wiped the dirt from the soles of his shoes on the lawn, "Is there a camera here?" If you have a camera, you can check the surveillance. ”
Lu Xun squatted on the edge of the grave and looked around, there were no cameras around the cemetery, and it was impossible to check the monitoring.
"There's no monitoring here." Lu Xun shook his head and frowned, compared to the other two people, he still had some clue about this matter...... There is a person who has a major suspicion, the girl told him to find a grave during the day today, apart from her, Lu Xun can't think of a second suspect related to this.
Was this tomb really dug by the director?
Lu Xun made up for Ariana's sneakiness...... Ah no, how could the Queen be sneaky? She must have been digging up the grave in the open...... Except for the director, other people may not be able to do this kind of thing that damages yin morality.
After all, she is the one who can hang the Fijian mermaid on the door to ward off evil spirits.
"Could it be some kind of animal?" The colonel asked.
"Unlikely." Storm shook his head, "Unless it's some kind of animal that is very good at digging the soil, such as anteaters and the like, other small mammals can't dig such a big hole, and there are only rats and weasels in the academy at most, how can weasels be so powerful?" ”
Sean clutched his sleeves, a little headache.
Someone digging graves, big or small, you say it poses a major threat to the security zone, but it doesn't actually cause any serious consequences. But if this matter spreads, it will inevitably cause fluctuation and panic in people's hearts, and the impact will be very bad, because there is a pervert who digs people's graves in a safe zone, which is simply challenging people's moral bottom line.
"Colonel, I'll take care of this matter." Lu Xun straightened up and turned off the flashlight.
"Oh? Do you already have a clue? The old man asked.
"You already know who did it?" Storm followed suit, "Who did it?" ”
"Uh...... I don't know exactly who did this, I just have a little idea, and I still have to investigate the specific situation. "Lu Xun didn't dare to confess to the director directly here, he was just suspicious of Anna, and he couldn't confirm it either.
"Let's go back and rest first." Lu Xun said, "Leave this matter to me, I will start investigating tomorrow, and I will definitely give you a result." ”
Storm and the Colonel nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Sean was very dry, "Lu Xun, I'm relieved that you're doing something." ”
Lu Xunxin said, old guy, did you really get off the donkey down the slope? What do you tell me to do things, you can rest assured? Aren't you just lazy and don't want to do it? This pot is thrown so quickly, there is no need to pretend to excuse it.
"What about this tomb?" Storm asked, "Does the site need to be kept?" ”
Lu Xun pondered for a few seconds and shook his head, "Forget it, you don't need it, I can't see anything anyway...... This is also the bones of a revolutionary martyr, and it's not good for him to expose the corpse in the wilderness like this, so let's bury him, so as not to be taken away by a weasel or something. ”
The storm swept the scattered bones into the garment and put them back in the grave.
The three of them filled in the earth together, pushed the surrounding floating soil into the pit, and then compacted the dirt, and the colonel, Lu Patrol and Storm finally stood in front of the tombstone for half a minute of silence for the deceased.
"Lu Xun, do you think the queen did this?" Lao Jia asked.
"She's the one most likely." Lu Xun replied, "But before the investigation is clear, we can't make a conclusion, and I will go to the director tomorrow to ask this matter clearly." ”
"What if she really did it?" Lao Jia then asked, "What are you going to do?" Shut her up? ”
"Uh......"
Lu Xun was really asked for a while, if it was really the director who did it, what could he do? There are a few people in the academy who are not afraid of the identity and power of Lu Xun as a minister, and Ariana is one. Mo said that he was just the head of the executive department, even if Lu Xun was the head of the entire security zone, in the eyes of the queen, he was still a stupid boy who didn't understand anything.
If Lu Xun dared to talk about Ariana's confinement, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the library door alive.
