Chapter 4: The Empty Tomb
The weather the next day was very good, at least for Huang Jun, he had not encountered such weather for a long time, early in the morning Huang Jun and Shu Yao got up and came to the location of the grave according to Mr. Wu's instructions. It's a peaceful place, near a reservoir where the water is muddy and seems to have been polluted. Overall, though, the environment is pretty good.
"Just this place? It looks pretty good," Huang Jun said.
Shu Yao smiled: "Then you can stay here, I don't think you need to leave."
Huang Jun said: "Hehe, I would like to, but mundane things are riddled with mundane things, the sun is very strong today, but what is inside, I'm afraid I can't escape, this kind of weather is the most suitable for opening a grave."
Shu Yao smiled, did not speak, speaking of this kind of thing, if you fail to get the consent of others, it is really shameful, they have not done this kind of thing for a long time, although Mr. Wu agreed, but they still feel a little bit of a thief, because of the love of the son, although more than ten years have passed, but Mr. Wu still renovates the tomb every year, so the location of the tomb is not difficult to find, soon, they found a cemetery, the cemetery is very magnificent, it is written: The tomb of the beloved son Wu Bin, The time payment was really more than ten years ago, and it can be seen that Mr. Wu is very attentive.
"This is it, let's start," Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun nodded, the second is that the two of them started to do it, speaking of which, they have not done less of this kind of thing before, because as guardians, this situation has also encountered a lot, Huang Jun does not need to say, how can he do less things about taking risks everywhere and drilling mountains and holes, and Shu Yao has been helping others deal with unclean things, and this kind of work is naturally familiar with the road, so the two of them did not make much effort to pry open the grave, but before opening it, they seemed to have discussed it and stopped.
"Guess what?" Huang Jundao.
Shu Yao said: "I don't know, why don't you guess?" ”
"I don't want to admit it, but I'm a little nervous," Huang said.
"Come on, I've never seen anything in the wind and waves, so I'll be nervous," Shu Yao said.
"No, I feel that this time is not the same as before," Huang Jun said.
"Yes, this kind of thing is indeed rare, and I am the same now, okay, we always have to face reality, and Mr. Wu also needs us to give him an explanation" Shu Yao said.
"I'm sorry, the Chinese always pay attention to entering the soil for safety, but what we are doing today, alas," Huang Jun sighed.
"You're going to sigh when you're here? You shouldn't have agreed in the first place, what are you talking about, hurry up" Shu Yao said unhappily.
Huang Jun smiled self-deprecatingly, so the two of them gently pried open the wooden plank covering it, but they were surprised that there was really nothing, and they couldn't find anything of value. But Huang Jun found something unusual.
"That's not right," Huang Jun said.
"What's wrong? We are ready for this, although this matter is a little difficult to accept, but Wu Bin has already gone home, is there anything more difficult to accept? Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun shook his head and said; "I said it's not this, you look at this coffin, it seems, it seems, it's a little weird"
Shu Yao said: "What's the blame?" ”
Huang Jun said: "Do you think a coffin that is more than ten years old will be so clean?" ”
Shu Yao suddenly realized, in fact, she also felt that something was wrong, but she just felt that something was wrong, after Huang Jun reminded her, she thought that after more than ten years, even if there was no body inside, the coffin should definitely rot, it should not be kept so intact, looking at this posture, it looks like it was just put in.
"Are we in the wrong place?" Shu Yao said.
"It's not very likely, you think, the name is right, right? Coupled with the address pointed out by Mr. Wu, that's right, this is this place" Huang Jundao.
"But, this coffin, how do you explain it?" Shu Yao said.
"It's not just this, you see, the inside of this coffin is like new, it looks like it has just been buried, but you look at the outside, this eaves, this color, isn't it? It's definitely not new, judging from the quality of the soil and the color of the outside of the coffin, I don't doubt it at all if you want to say that they are more than ten years old," Huang Jun said.
Shu Yao said: "In other words, the problem is only in the coffin?" ”
Huang Jun said: "Yes, I think, something must have happened in the middle?" ”
Shu Yao said: "To be honest, I've been doing this for a while, I've never seen such a strange thing, we've experienced some strange things before, but none of them can compare to this time."
Huang Jun said: "Yes, the previous ones, although they were strange, they all made sense, but this matter couldn't be explained at all."
Shu Yao didn't speak, but looked fixedly at a place not far away. Huang Jun followed her gaze and found that not far from them, there was also a tomb, and a man, well, who looked to be in his forties, was standing in front of the grave with a strange expression on his face.
"What do you see, we're not done yet," Huang Jun said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Shu Yao said.
"Strange what? What's strange, you always speak so suddenly," Huang Jun said dissatisfied.
"I mean the man, the man standing on the edge of the grave," Shu Yao said.
"What's so strange, people come to pay tribute to their relatives, what does it matter to you," Huang Jun said.
Shu Yao said: "In vain, you are wise, this time you can look away, look at the expression on his face, that expression is a memorial expression?" ”
Huang Jun followed Shu Yao's gaze, and sure enough, he found that the man's expression standing in front of the grave was very strange, there was no pain or sorrow that should have been, and even if his face was a numb expression, Huang Jun could accept it, but Huang Jun read the surprise and incredulity from the man's face, as if something had happened that puzzled him.
"yes, the expression on his face is a little strange, this kind of expression shouldn't appear on the face of a memorial person, what does he mean?" Huang Jundao.
"There is another point that you didn't pay attention to, think about it, he didn't pay attention to us at all, but we are not far apart, this is not normal" Shu Yao said.
"Are you saying he must have seen us, and then he didn't react at all, and then you felt abnormal?" Huang Jun said angrily and funny.
"yes, don't you think?" Shu Yao said.
"But, why does he pay attention to us, we don't know him, that is, we don't get married, and we don't have a reason, why does he have to pay attention to us, I don't think it's necessary, it's normal" Huang Jun said of course.
"No, I know what you're talking about, but you've forgotten what we're doing now, we're digging graves, how can we not be strange if we're ordinary people, at least he should come up and ask to make sure we're not grave robbers?" Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun was stunned, he didn't expect this, and couldn't help but nod and said: "Yes, when you say this, it seems to be true, it's too strange, it doesn't conform to a normal person's behavior."
"Why don't we go over and ask?" Shu Yao said.
"So, okay?" Huang Jundao.
"Okay, you go" Shu Yao seemed to have made up his mind.
"But why should I go, and not you?" Huang Jun shouted.
"Of course, you're not going to ask me to talk to a girl, are you? This is not in accordance with the rules, I guarantee at most, if he accostes me, I will ask him myself" Shu Yao said confidently.
Huang Jun was angry for a while, but thinking about it, what Shu Yao said was indeed right, so he had no choice but to nod. Huang Jun slowly walked towards the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man stood in front of the grave, seemed to be thinking about something, as if he was deep in thought, and did not pay attention to Huang Jun's arrival, Huang Jun had to say loudly: "This gentleman, you are also here to pay respects?" ”
The middle-aged man woke up at this time, and when he saw Huang Jun, he said embarrassedly: "Oh, no, I'm sorry, you guys are?" The middle-aged man seemed to have only reacted to what Huang Jun was doing at this time.
"Oh, we are policemen, we came here today to open the coffin for an autopsy and investigate a case" Huang Jun said lightly, this kind of thing has happened several times before, and he has prevaricated like this.
"Oh, what kind of case?" The middle-aged man asked curiously.
Huang Jun wanted to say what this is about you, but when he saw the middle-aged man's expression, suddenly, his heart moved, so he said: "This case is actually quite strange, there is a family that said that his son who had been dead for more than ten years suddenly came home, and the others didn't believe it, so they reported the case, we came today to verify that the son who came home was not their son who died more than ten years, because according to them, their son was buried here."
The middle-aged man's expression froze, and his face showed a panicked expression, but he immediately calmed down, what kind of person is Huang Jun, how can this momentary change in expression not escape his eyes, he immediately sensed that something was going on, so he said: "What, what kind of relatives are you inside?" ”
"Oh, it's not really, I just want to come and see," the middle-aged man said.
"What do you call it? You can be a friend," Huang Jun said casually. If an experienced person may find out that Huang Jun is definitely not a policeman, because a professional policeman will never care about such a thing when handling a case, but the middle-aged man obviously has no experience in this area, but he is very cooperative and said: "My name is Zhang Houbo, the bow is long Zhang, the thick is thick, the wave of the water waves, I just came over to take a look, what will happen in the future?" the middle-aged man replied.
Huang Jun said: "What, this is going to go?" ”
Zhang Houboqi said: "Otherwise, what else is going on?" I have other things to deal with."
Huang Jun said: "Oh, I didn't mean that, okay, let's get together again."
Zhang Houbo nodded, didn't speak again, and turned to leave. Huang Jun looked at him, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
