199.Chapter 199: Bloody Handprints
Li Da's grave is halfway up a hillside behind Yutang Village, and the foot of this hillside is connected to a field, so if someone is planting land under the hillside, Li Da's tomb can be seen at a glance.
Because of this, Li Da's grave was dug up, and the villagers found it at the first time.
When Zhang Zichen and Li Changgen rode motorcycles along the dirt road to the foot of the mountain, they found that there were many people not far from the mountainside, all of whom were pointing and muttering.
Li Changgen and Zhang Zichen parked their motorcycles at the foot of the mountain at the same time, and then the two of them quickly climbed up the hill with a dog.
After climbing about ten meters, Zhang Zichen came to the place where the crowd gathered.
There are about 30 people, most of whom are the immediate family members of the old man Li Da, and a small number of them are collateral relatives, they are surrounding the grave of the old man Li Da, some are crying bitterly, and some are discussing.
"Zichen is here, let's give way. After Li Changgen approached the crowd, he began to disperse these people and make way for Zhang Zichen.
"Uncle Changgen, how is it, what about his master Zhang Shouqing?" Someone saw Zhang Zichen appear, and was slightly dissatisfied, mainly because Zhang Zichen was too old.
"Zhang Daochang can't come if he has something, he asked Zichen to come, don't look at his age, Zhang Shouqing has already spoken, this Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple will have to let this third apprentice take over sooner or later, so don't look at Zichen's Taoism. Although Li Changgen also doubted whether Zhang Zichen had real skills, now was not the time to attack and ridicule Zhang Zichen, because now the entire Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple is just a Taoist priest.
is such a Taoist priest, since he is invited, he has to give Zhang Zichen face, so Li Changgen helped Zhang Zichen speak.
However, Zhang Zichen didn't care about these suspicions, no matter what, as long as he showed his real skills to catch this thief who was digging the grave, he would be able to win everyone's respect at that time.
Under Li Changgen's explanation and urging, the crowd gave way to a gap.
"Zichen, follow me to have a look. Li Changgen beckoned, and Zhang Zichen and the big black dog walked towards the center of the crowd.
The first thing that catches my eye are some men and women, who are Li Da's immediate family, sitting on the ground and crying loudly, with some ugly words in their mouths.
These words are roughly the language of which immoral ghost wants to dig up people's ancestral graves, everyone can understand when you think about it.
Aside from these people, Zhang Zichen finally saw Li Da's tombstone, behind the tall tombstone, the huge loess bag had been dug into a big pit, and the soil and stones were scattered everywhere.
Walking further, a tragic scene appeared in Zhang Zichen's eyes.
I saw that the coffin in the grave was opened, and inside the coffin, Li Da's body was already a blur of flesh and blood, leaving only a blood-red skeleton scattered among the coffin.
However, around this coffin, bloody handprints can still be seen.
Not only that, through Zhang Zichen's observation, he also found that on the surrounding soil, there were some human footprints, these footprints were horizontal and vertical, but it could be seen that this was just a human footprint.
Zhang Zichen pointed to the footprints on the dirt and asked, "Village Chief Li, have any of you ever been close to the grave?"
Li Changgen sighed, "No, because we saw these footprints and bloody handprints, in order not to destroy the evidence at the scene, we didn't get close." ”
"What about the bloody handprints on the coffin?" Zhang Zichen asked.
"That one was also left by the gravediggers, and we didn't destroy it. Li Changgen replied.
"According to the current situation, it is a human being who stole the body of Old Man Li Da. Zhang Zichen thinks so, because there are bloody handprints and footprints at the scene, which proves that it is a person who is stealing the body.
"But why is that?" Li Changgen didn't understand, "You see inside the coffin, the gold and silver were not stolen, but the flesh on the corpse was gone." ”
Zhang Zichen didn't quite understand this: "I don't know about this, but Village Chief Li, like this situation, did you call the police?"
Li Changgen shook his head and sighed: "Now that the state requires the deceased to be cremated, we have also secretly found a place for Uncle Li Da to be buried, where do we dare to call the police! If the police are summoned, if the body is stolen first, they will first fine us a lot of money for the burial of the land, where do we dare to call the police, right?"
"This ...... That's where the dilemma comes in. Zhang Zichen shook his head helplessly and shouted, "Now you all have seen it, the body of Old Man Li Da was clearly dug up by others, and he is still a living person, this person left footprints and bloody handprints." As long as you call the police, the police can quickly find the thief based on the fingerprints and footprints of the bloody handprints, so I still think that the police should be called. ”
Zhang Zichen's words, in fact, everyone present understood that the perpetrator left bloody handprints and footprints, and the evidence was sufficient, and he only needed to call the police to find out the thief who dug up other people's graves.
But the more than 30 people present all remained silent, they still didn't want to make a big deal about this matter, and they didn't want the police to know that they occupied the land and buried Li Da.
After about five minutes of silence, an old man in his seventies spoke: "I think this matter will be left to rest! If we call the police, it will not have much effect, and we will not only face a fine, but in the end, the skeleton of Old Man Li will be dragged to the crematorium and burned." Rather than this, it's better to calm things down, anyway, Old Man Li's skeleton is still there, why don't we bury his skeleton and leave it at that?"
This old man seems to have a lot of seniority, and he is asking for other people's opinions with this sentence.
Sure enough, after the old man spoke, many people followed him, and no one wanted to report this matter to the police.
In the end, everyone agreed that the matter would be dismissed.
Although Zhang Zichen did not agree with this approach, but alas, he was not a member of the Li family, and he had no right to speak, since Li Changgen and the others did not agree to call the police, Zhang Zichen was helpless.
"Village Chief Li, since everyone has decided to keep this matter a secret, then I have nothing to say, if there is nothing else, then I will leave. Zhang Zichen led the big black dog and was about to leave, today can be said to be the first time Zhang Zichen took over the business by himself, but he didn't expect it to be just a farce, stealing an ordinary human being.
"Zichen!" Li Changgen shouted, and then stuffed a few red banknotes into Zhang Zichen's hand with a few red bills in his hand, "You can take these three hundred yuan, just as we are single-minded." ”
"No, no, village chief, no. Zhang Zichen excused himself, "I just came to see it, but I didn't contribute, and it was not good to collect money." ”
"Zichen, take it!" Suddenly, Li Changgen said loudly, "You must accept this money!" After accepting this money, I hope you don't reveal the matter about Old Man Li, otherwise you will get into trouble with the police. ”
Under Li Changgen's reprimand, Zhang Zichen had no choice but to accept three hundred yuan: "I will accept the money, but don't worry, village chief, I will definitely not mess around with this old man Li's affairs, and this secret will stop here for me." ”
"That's good, that's good. Li Changgen said with a smile.
"Village chief, if it's okay, then I'll go. Zhang Zichen led the big black dog and was about to squeeze out of the crowd.
But just when Zhang Zichen turned around, he found a very strange thing on the coffin, that is, Zhang Zichen found that there was a trace of unusual place in these palms.
