Chapter 26: The Tanuki Prince
A gust of wind blew, and the wild grass at the head of the tomb swayed with the wind, making the desolate tomb even colder.
I've been wondering, isn't this young man a little alarmist, on the day of the uncle's burial, many people saw the Nanmu coffin, if the leakage of the news, someone stared at the valuable coffin, it is also very possible.
"Could it be that they just want to take the Nanmu coffin, and it's not as complicated as you say?"
"That's the best, but look at this thing!" He gestured to the exposed black cloth.
"I've seen something too, what the hell is this?"
The young man squatted down and carefully observed the black cloth that leaked out, "Well, this is the material of the shroud, eighty percent of the tanuki has changed the prince!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Inside this grave, another person is buried!"
"Huh? Another person? Who would that be? I suddenly remembered the grave next to me, "It can't be my uncle!" ”
"Are you stupid!" He pointed to my uncle's grave, "Look at his grave, there is obviously no trace of moving, if the person here is your uncle, his grave will definitely be the same as yesterday!" ”
The young man has a point, although my uncle has been buried for a few days, but this is summer, the climate is humid and hot, and some weed shoots have grown on the adobe of the grave, and if anyone has really touched them, these shoots will definitely not be there.
"So, who could it be?"
"In this way, I will guard here, you go down and call your third grandmother, let her bring a few strong men up, take tools, let's dig this person out and have a look."
"Why me? What if I hit the 'ghost wall' again? ”
"It's dawn, what the hell are you hitting the wall!"
I've been exhausted from this night's tossing, and I can't wait to sleep on this tomb now.
I wanted to play Rippy, "I'm so tired today, can I go back tomorrow?" Or is it that good at you? You go? ”
"No, I have to keep an eye on this tomb, in case they make any more movements, you can't handle it!"
This damn place, there has never been a cell phone signal, everything depends on the legs, this is just a phone call, why bother to toss me.
——
The third grandmother stayed in the village for a night, and she has been sticking to her post to observe the water situation, but the water in the village has not receded, but it has not risen, but it is calmer than the water.
I learned the words of the young man to the third grandmother, and she was also greatly surprised, of course, what was more serious than the surprise was - despair, everyone understands this truth, the female corpse has been stolen, and it is obviously more difficult to solve these doubts!
This matter cannot be delayed, and the third grandmother instructed the good people to take a good look at the bronze mirrors around the water, and hurriedly took the strong man up the mountain.
Several young men worked together for more than half an hour, and everyone dragged the "man" out of the grave with shovels and pickaxes, and was frightened.
Different from the beauty of the female corpse, although this corpse was wearing a black shroud, the skin and flesh had rotted, and the maggots crawling on the face exuded a musty smell, which was really disgusting.
Several people present turned around, but the young man was still calm, he squatted down, looked at the man's face by himself, and then ripped off the dead man's clothes, looked at his chest, and then said, "Eighty percent of the Gu has been decided!" ”
"Zhong Gu? What does it mean? The third grandmother asked him.
The young man pointed to this person's face, and pointed to the skin and flesh that was exposed by his clothes, "Looking at the corpse spots on it, it is a point, it is not a piece, and it is not very spread, this person is estimated to be dead for ten days and eight days, but looking at his face, it is very seriously rotten, or a small worm on it, it is not a normal maggot, it is a kind of Gu worm, this person died from a Gu worm." ”
"Then where did this man come from, and why did he appear in my family's grave?" I asked the lad.
"They were afraid that the act of stealing the female corpse would be revealed, so they replaced a dead man here! Dead people have yin energy, if we don't come to this tomb, we won't be able to find out about the bag for a while! ”
"It seems that they really planned it a long time ago!"
"So it's tricky! If according to your speculation, that group of people is just a group of simple tomb robbers, the method must be different, they will rush at the Nanmu coffin and the valuable jewelry on the female corpse, and after stealing what they want, they will throw the corpse aside, at least not too far away, if so, they will not go to great lengths to get another corpse to press the tomb! In this way, we will easily find the female corpse, but the problem now is that they are premeditated, and the female corpse will definitely be well hidden! ”
"Huh? So what to do? "My speculation has been completely refuted.
"Our top priority is to recover this female corpse, if her body rots and turns into a pile of white bones, it will be even more difficult to crack many things!"
I suddenly remembered something, I remember the last time when the shaman was dying, he instructed me to find some old lady Qi to solve the identity of the female corpse, fortunately when I came back, I only lost the token that the mage gave me, and this birthday has been in my pocket in my arms, I don't know if this thing is useful.
Thinking of this, I quickly took out the eight characters of my birthday and said to the young man, "The mage who used to marry my uncle asked me to take this thing to Mrs. Qi, saying that this can determine the identity of the woman!" ”
The young man glanced at the birth date in my hand, "Mrs. Qi, which Mrs. Qi?" ”
"It's Mrs. Qi from Longevity Village!"
He gave me a blank look, "Mrs. Qi hasn't been out of the mountain for several years!" ”
Mrs. Qi hasn't been out of the mountain for several years, what's going on? This kid can't be talking nonsense, I feel that the shaman's skills are no worse than this young man's, and the old man is unlikely to lie to me.
"Who did you listen to? The shaman also said that she came out on the fifteenth day of every month! I asked him.
"The shaman said that he didn't say anything, when was the last time I saw her?"
"I didn't say that!"
"That's it, these old people don't have a good memory!"
I gave him a blank look, thinking to myself, don't you still say that you are only a little younger than the third grandmother? Isn't it an old man!
He continued, "These old people live a long life, often for several years! ”
"Okay, just when you understand the situation, do you know why Mrs. Qi hasn't been out of the mountain for several years?"
"It seems that she hasn't come out since the river became muddy!"
"Why is that?"
"How do I know? But this is not a problem we have to solve, the top priority now is to get the female corpse's body back, not to let her rot, as for the matter of confirming her identity, that is the next step! ”
"Then what do you say?"
"We have to start with this corpse, let's investigate and investigate, see if there are any new dead people around, and find out the identity of this person!"
I glanced at the corpse, the face was damaged by maggots is called a rotten, if the appearance is still good, you can take the face photo of the corpse to the police station to check, but now, the appearance is too badly damaged, even if the photo is taken, I dare to say that no one will recognize it.
The white maggots were still crawling on the dead man's face, and I quickly withdrew my gaze, and if I looked at it again, I guess I would vomit out the food I ate last night.
"This man, with such a face? Who do you ask to confirm your identity, is it possible? I covered my mouth and said.
"That's not a problem." The young man quickly whistled, still three long and three short, and after a while, the mouse that helped us solve the ghost wall last night came back!
It's the second time I've seen this mouse, so I'm naturally not surprised, and the people brought by the third grandmother are still scared when they see the size of this mouse!
With one of his whistles, the rats formed a circle around the corpse's head and gnawed wildly!
I was also frightened, I have seen a mouse knocking buds, but I have never seen a mouse eat people, to be precise, it is a dead person.
But look at the leading big mouse, as big as a piglet, with a mouth, its teeth are sharp like a cold bayonet, its fangs are grinding crisp, and its face is still very satisfied.
Looking at these delicious mice, I suddenly remembered something, it was the black cat, it had been in my arms just now, why was it gone.
