Chapter 223: The Disappearing Corpse
Xiaohua Village can be said to be the existence of Dongtian Town, of course, this number is not from the front, but from the back, according to the news that Millie inquired, Xiaohua Village has been a number of fierce villages since the anti-Japanese period, and all the men in the village are surnamed Hua, and the management of this village is not the secretary of the village head branch, but the ancestral hall and a group of elderly elders.
This kind of village with ancestral hall was very common before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it represents unity, blood, and any household in the village has a relationship with eight poles, but later almost most of them were banned under the high-pressure policy, and people in modern society are gradually opening up their minds, and even some places are gradually disintegrating without policies.
However, what can be dismantled is the kind of place that gets rich first, and a poor place like Dongtian Town has always retained this tradition.
As the saying goes, the water is shallow, the king is eight, the temple is small and the demon is windy, the more this kind of place, the more restrained the mind, and the people above and down don't want to move the people in the village with wisdom.
Of course, those ancestral hall elders are not fools, they will not fight against the country openly, they will still listen to what they should hear, but this burial method has been handed down, especially for those old people, cremation is equivalent to the soul is scattered, and nothing is left, so Xiaohua Village has retained the way of burial for so many years, and the town or county has not thought of a way, but every time the relationship is tense, and there have even been a lot of fights, so people have died, and over time, the above has turned a blind eye.
This time the incident is also a coincidence, it is a young man in the village who accidentally rolled down from the mountain and died, and the family did nothing and buried it in a hurry, but I didn't expect that the next day when the young father went to add soil to his son, he found that there seemed to be traces of excavation around.
Thinking of the coffin gold he put in his son's coffin, the old man suspected that he was passive, no matter what the purpose, digging people's graves is an enemy of the sky, so the old man stabbed the matter directly into the ancestral hall, hoping to give himself justice.
Several elders of the ancestral hall were furious when they heard the news, of course, they were not angry that the old man's son's grave was stolen, but that someone had broken this rule, and they were also afraid that after their death, someone would dig themselves out, and they would not be able to live in peace after death, so they discussed it and decided that they had to find out this person if they said anything.
If you want to find someone, you must first determine whether the things inside are really stolen, so I discussed with the old man to open the coffin for inspection, and at this point, the old man is also difficult to ride a tiger, and finally can only open the coffin.
I didn't expect this to open, but it completely opened up the matter, the gold in it was still there, but the people were not there, this incident instantly caused a sensation in the village, all kinds of rumors arose, the most outrageous is that the old man's son did not die, and he climbed out again.
Of course, the ancestral hall elders don't believe in such a ridiculous thing, but who has nothing to do to steal the corpse?
Just when the whole village was puzzled, news came again, it turned out that a family in the village also died last month, and after learning that the body of the old man's son was missing, he couldn't sit still, so he also decided to open the coffin to take a look, but this time, he was dumbfounded, and the inside was also empty.
Suddenly, the whole village was in chaos, which family did not have dead elders and relatives in these years, with these two examples, the whole village couldn't sit still, especially the dead people in the family in the last year or two, gritted their teeth and dug out the coffin, and the inside was also clean.
This time, the people in the village were scared silly, it would be better if there were one or two less bodies, but after inspection, all the corpses buried in three years disappeared, and in the past three years, Xiaohua Village said that more than a dozen people must die? So where did all these corpses go?
The matter of Xiaohua Village soon spread, especially in the villages that are relatively close to Xiaohua Village, and many young people have died recently due to various reasons, with the strange events in Xiaohua Village, the people in these villages can't sit still, and they have opened the coffins, and the results are similar to those in Xiaohua Village, and the corpses buried in the past three years have disappeared.
If it was something else, so many people in several villages could handle it by themselves, but when such a big thing happened, the old people of several villages got together and summed it up, and finally decided to call the police and let the police find out the real culprit.
Even they had already thought that when they found the person who stole the body, they had to make a living sacrifice to comfort the souls of those people in the sky, but after calling the police, they waited left and right, but there was no news coming.
Even if a few people from the village went up there to make a fuss, the disappeared corpses seemed to have completely evaporated from the world, and they searched all the nearby places, but they found nothing.
At this time, another young man in Xiaohua Village died, this time he was drowned, and by this opportunity, several elders of the ancestral hall came up with a clever plan, that is, to lure the snake out of the hole.
After burying the young man, those ancestral hall elders arranged for people to keep an eye on them twenty-four hours a day, thinking that if someone came to steal the corpse, they would definitely be caught, but they didn't expect that there was a sudden fog on the first night, and those who kept vigil didn't know what was going on and fell asleep, and when they woke up the next day, the corpse in the coffin disappeared again.
For this reason, not only the surrounding villages, but even some people in Dongtian Town were panicked, and all kinds of rumors were spreading, which was the main reason why Millie found out so quickly.
After listening to Millie's report, I fell into deep thought, although I don't know if it's true or not, but the information Millie found is obviously much more comprehensive than what Song Hao said, but who did this kind of thing? What's the use of stealing so many corpses?
"What do you guys think?" I asked directly to everyone in the room.
"Boss, do you think it's strange, a dozen corpses in one village, three or four villages are almost fifty corpses, although the number of this matter accumulated in three years, but so many corpses is not a small number, since this person stole so many corpses, it will definitely not be directly buried or burned, then he must have a place to store these corpses, but why did the police search the vicinity of several villages and not find it? Do you think we can start with that? Zhang Wei was the first to speak.
"I don't think the breakthrough is very big, so many people haven't found it, do you think we can find that place with just six of us? I think we should first find out if anything special has happened in these villages in the past three years, and maybe we can find any clues. "The so-called two people who are most familiar with me, after Zhang Wei spoke, it was naturally Qi Yan's turn.
"Millie, what do you three think? Let's talk about it too. I nodded after listening to Qi Yan's words, and then looked at the three of them
