In early winter, the amount of water plummets, and there are only a few trickling streams under the bridge, which flow down the mountain.

Due to disrepair, Zhangqiao has long been dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, almost all the stone railings are missing, and even a small tree more than one person tall grows in the cracks on the bridge deck.

At this moment, there is a coffin as black as ink on the bridge, even in broad daylight, it is really a little scary.

"Qiu County Order!" When Xu Zun saw Qiu Yongnian, he immediately came to the front to greet him and asked, "What's the situation now?" ”

"I don't know!" Qiu Yongnian's face was full of anxiety, "I came over when I received the report, but I didn't expect that there was really a coffin, alas! ”

From the sigh, it can be seen that Qiu Yongnian is deeply uneasy about the appearance of this iron coffin, for fear that his future will be affected because of this thing.

"Yes, yes, yes......" Zhao Yu looked at the coffin from a distance and said with a look of fear, "This is it!" Exactly the same as the one from two years ago!

"But how come there aren't any dead bodies?" Zhao Yu looked under the bridge, "Back then, more than 30 people died!" ”

"Zhao Zhutou!" Qiu Xianling hurriedly asked, "Tell me about the situation back then, what is the origin of this iron coffin?" What did you find in the first place? ”

Zhao Yu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told all the information he knew two years ago.

It's a pity that Zhao Yu was just a small catcher back then, and after the crime, he only saw the iron coffin and those corpses from afar, and as for the details of the case, he didn't know much.

Zhao Yu said that the main task he was responsible for back then was to visit and investigate, and he visited almost all the surrounding counties, but he did not hear any information about the iron coffin case.

In the end, with the dismissal of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, the case was closed......

Hearing these circumstances, Qiu County Ling was even more anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Zhao Zhutou, there are so many people in our county government, don't they all know the details?" ”

"My lord," Zhao Yu replied, "the catchers back then were basically the same as me, they all knew nothing.

"I think that if you want to know the details of the iron coffin case, I'm afraid there are only two people who know better, one is our county lord Chengluo, and the other is the chief bookkeeper Liu Zhang, both of them have experienced the last iron coffin incident, and they should know more than us!"

The prefectural officer is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate and is the second-in-command of the entire Akiba Prefecture.

Like Liu Zhang, the county Cheng Luo million has been in power in Akiba County for decades, and naturally has been in contact with the iron coffin case.

"It's really unfortunate," Qiu Yongnian said, "Luo Xiancheng has just returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so he can only call Master Liu to ask first!" ”

"I'll send someone to invite you!" Zhao Yu agreed, and immediately arranged manpower.

"My lord," Xu Zun suggested, "Let's quickly open this iron coffin and see what is inside, shall we?" ”

"This ...... This one is already being done! Qiu Yongnian had no master, and he stammered a little when he spoke, he pointed to the officials on the bridge, "The iron coffin is locked, and the officials are picking it!" ”

When I looked up, I saw that there were officials with axes and crowbars on the bridge, who were pounding the iron coffin.

However, due to fear, the officials were nervous and their progress was unusually slow.

Xu Zun was very curious, so he walked straight onto the stone bridge and came to the iron coffin.

But seeing that the iron coffin was as black as ink, it was extremely heavy just to look at it.

He touched it lightly, and the iron coffin was cold, and it was indeed made of pure iron.

As we all know, iron rusts, and no one in the world will make coffins out of iron.

Therefore, Xu Zun wondered if this thing was not a coffin, but just looked a little like it?

However, this thing is big at one end and small at the other, whether it is a delicate coffin rim or a coffin lid with a curve, it is like a coffin!

Xu Zun stretched out his hand and touched it, the iron coffin was extremely cold, and it brought out a heavy feeling.

Immediately after, he knocked on the lid of the coffin, and then pushed it hard.

However, such a heavy coffin did not move at all.

Odd!

It's so weird!

Why did such a strange coffin pop up for no reason?

Bite!

Bite!

At this time, the officials were still using hammers to chisel the big lock on the iron coffin.

Because of the fear in their hearts, they had no brute force to make the wrong place, and several hammers were missed!

Xu Zun found out that there were three big locks on the iron coffin, each of which looked very exaggerated.

What is the situation?

This is...... Is this a fear that the contents of the coffin will escape?

He quickly searched his mind, thinking that this was some strange custom in this world. You can search through the relevant memories in your head, but there is no relevant information at all.

The iron coffin, still locked, what kind of wool are you doing?

What's in there?

In an instant, a certain American drama scene flashed in Xu Zun's mind, wondering if there were zombies in this coffin? As soon as the coffin lid is opened, zombies will come out and bite?

The point is, how did this thing get to the bridge when it was so heavy?

Thinking of this, Xu Zun looked at the ground nearby.

He was thinking, I'm afraid that such a heavy thing would be difficult to reach by manpower alone, and it must have been carried here by a large vehicle such as a horse-drawn cart, right?

With the exception of the stone bridge, the paths on both sides are muddy and dirt roads, and such a heavy carriage passing through it is bound to leave deep ruts.

So, Xu Zun went down the bridge to check.

When he looked down and looked carefully, he found that although there were many traces of traffic on the ground, there was no particularly deep and obvious rut.

No way?

What the hell?

Xu Zun looked up at the mountain, then at the sky, and began to wonder if this coffin fell from the sky?

Xu ...... Lord Xu," Zhao Yu came to him and asked, "What are you doing here?" Can't you figure out where this coffin came from? ”

Xu Zun nodded.

"That's right!" Zhao Yu muttered, "Such a big coffin, wouldn't it be too ostentatious if it was carried over by a carriage?" How could it be that no one found out?

"Besides," he said, pointing into the distance, "this road is the only way to the pass, and there are so many pedestrians on the road that no one can see it!" ”

Zhao Yu's eyes revealed deep fear, it was obvious that in their opinion, this coffin was not done by man, it must be a demon.

"Zhao Zhutou," Xu Zun asked, "I wonder, since Luo Xiancheng and Master Liu know about this case, why have they never heard from them?" ”

"Ahem, don't talk about them, even the people of the entire Akiba Prefecture don't dare to talk nonsense easily!" Zhao Yu explained, "What do you think, a weird iron coffin plus 37 lives, in the end, the case was not solved, the county order was dismissed, and the county lieutenant was assigned, who would dare to talk nonsense?" ”

"Oh......" Xu Zun realized, no wonder he had never heard of it.

"Everyone tacitly knows it," Zhao Yu continued, "First, I am afraid that there are really ghosts and gods, and secondly, I am also afraid of hearing any rumors from above, so I am afraid that I will be implicated!" ”

"Oh......" Xu Zun pondered for a while and said, "You said that 37 people died last time, who are those?" ”

"I don't know, it's not from our Akiba Prefecture anyway!" Zhao Yu replied, "Moreover, all of them are young adults, and there are no old people and ......."

As a result, before Zhao Yu finished speaking, he heard a sound of metal falling to the ground.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the three big locks had been smashed open by the officials.

However, seeing the big lock smashed open, the officials were not happy but sad, because they would face a more difficult and terrifying task - opening the coffin!!
