Chapter 72: Open the coffin quietly, don't do it loudly

After asking about the whereabouts of the deceased's body, Shi Cheng and his two companions carefully inspected the house again, and then left Yizhuang.

After the group walked back to Kaida's white shop, they said goodbye to the old corpse collector, got into the carriage, and went to the address given by Kaida.

Baishipu and Yizhuang are outside the east gate of Kenbin Wangcheng, while the Nanqingyan Lane mentioned by Kaida is in the south of Wangcheng, the scale of Kenbin Wangcheng is not small, and in order to bypass the chaotic slums in the city, the coachman had to take some detours, so it took Shi Cheng and his party half an hour and more than two quarters of an hour to reach their destination.

After arriving at Nanqingyan Lane, Shi Cheng spent a few copper plates and sent the driver to help inquire about the residence of Chagui's relatives, and soon responded.

After inquiring about the situation, Shi Cheng, Wu Neng and Tie Mian jumped out of the carriage one after another, and went to the southeast of the area of the south entrance of the lane, and under the guidance of the coachman, they stopped at the door of a small courtyard with a talisman hanging at the door.

Shi Cheng walked to the wooden door that was being closed, and looked left and right, the population in the area of Nanqingyan Lane is not large, and most of the people who live here are small traders who do small business, but the door of the family in front of him is still crowded, which is in stark contrast to other places.

Shi Cheng's hand on the side of his thigh tapped his right leg lightly, and he didn't choose to enter the door directly, but walked to a fork in the road not far away, and stood in front of a few young men who were looking at Shi Cheng's group with curious eyes with a smile.

"A few little brothers." Shi Cheng smiled and asked, "What are you looking at here?" ”

Several young people quickly shook their heads, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, don't go." Wu Neng hurriedly stopped in front of several young people, and a young man who looked a little fierce in the lead was very impatient and wanted to push Wu Neng away, but Wu Neng firmly held his hand.

"You let me go." The young man in the lead was in pain, and flew up and wanted to kick Wu Neng, but he was easily pushed and pulled by Wu Neng a few times, and he was completely subdued.

"What are you still looking at, and you haven't come up to help!" The young man in the lead yelled angrily at his companions.

The other young men were all suppressed by Wu Neng's skills, they were also a group of little overlords in this small area with a lot of people on weekdays, and today was the first time they had bumped into such a hard stubble.

There were two bold people who wanted to rescue the big brother in charge, but Iron Mask coughed softly, and the long sword he carried with him slammed heavily on the ground, calming them.

"You...... Who are you and what do you want to do? The young man who had been subdued by Wu Neng was quite clever, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately softened.

"There's something I'd like to ask you about." Shi Cheng smiled gently, and took out five Wei copper coins from his pocket, "Old Wu, let him go, it's all a misunderstanding, as long as a few little brothers answer my question truthfully, these foreign copper coins are yours." ”

After seeing the copper coin that Shi Cheng took out, the eyes of the street slickers immediately appeared with a golden light.

"You...... What do you ask? The young man who was let go by Wu Neng shook his arm and asked cautiously.

Shi Cheng pointed to the house of Cha Gui's relatives and asked, "How much do you know about this family?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of several young people invariably showed fear.

"What do you ask the family to do?" A short, thin boy couldn't help but ask.

"The answer to my question is." Shi Cheng said as he swept the copper coins in his hand in front of the street slippers.

The young man at the head swallowed and said, "Are you going to find that family?" I've got to tell you, their house is haunted! ”

"Haunted?" Shi Cheng laughed, "That's right, I'm specifically responsible for catching ghosts." ”

"You're a ghost catcher!" The street slickers were shocked.

Shi Cheng stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the fire flashed in the air, illuminating the surprised faces of the street runners.

Plop plop plop plop ...... All the street runners immediately knelt down, bowed their heads, and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "We have eyes that don't know the true immortals, there were many collisions just now, dogs look down on people, and a few great immortals spare their lives!" ……”

Shi Cheng was not surprised, and after a while of appeasement, he pulled up the street slickers who had already softened their bodies, and interrogated the situation of your relatives in detail.

After a period of interrogation, Wu Neng and Tie Mian's gazes at each other became more complicated, and things seemed to be even more difficult.

Combined with the accounts of the street slickers and the information that Shi Cheng and the three of them had previously investigated, it turned out that the person who took away the bodies of Zha Gui and his righteous son was Zha Gui's sister. Cha Gui himself was born with a hidden disease, unable to have children, and naturally unable to marry a wife, so after the death of his parents, Cha Gui has always lived alone, but Cha Gui himself is indeed a good hand at climbing relationships, somehow hugged a member of the thigh, not only found himself a messenger of the villager, life is not bad, and later in order to provide for his own retirement, he adopted a son named Ti Yaden.

After Cha Gui's relatives took the bodies of Cha Gui and his righteous son back home, Cha Gui's sister and brother-in-law didn't believe that Cha Gui was killed by the corpse demon who deceived the corpse at first, and believed that his brother's death had another reason, and they also delayed burying the bodies of Cha Gui and his righteous son Ti Yadeng.

However, within a few days, something extremely terrifying happened in Zha Gui's sister's home.

On the fourth night when Cha Gui's body was sent back to his sister's house, the neighbors next door suddenly heard the roar of a beast in the middle of the night, which startled everyone, after all, Nanqingyan Lane was in the royal city, where did the beast come from?

But the howl sounded really terrible, and a few bold neighbors quietly walked out of the house to take a look, and were surprised to find that the roar actually came from Zha Gui's sister's house.

Cha Gui's brother-in-law is in the butcher business, so everyone didn't check it out, and the neighbors thought that Cha Gui's brother-in-law might have gotten a game from somewhere, and was going to slaughter it and sell it the next day.

But the next morning, when a few neighbors who got up early to go to work passed by the door of Sister Chagui's house, they saw a dried red overflowing from the crack in the door.

When the neighbors opened the gate, they were stunned by the tragic scene in front of them, six members of Zha Gui's sister's family were wiped out, and the bloody stumps were everywhere, as if they had been patronized by a group of hungry wolves.

Many residents who came to see the excitement were frightened, and a few neighbors who had a good relationship with Zha Gui's sister's family on weekdays boldly entered the back room, and found Zha Gui who was supposed to be lying in the coffin in the house, and Zha Gui with a hideous face was lying flat in the center of the main hall of the back room, with a large ball of flesh and blood in his mouth, this weird and terrifying scene made a neighbor pee his pants on the spot.

The matter was quickly reported to the government in charge of the south of the city, but after a group of officials took a turn in the small courtyard twice, they couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly closed the case with evil spirits. Of course, there is also gossip in the market, saying that the government does not want this horrific murder case to frighten the foreigners who have gathered in the royal city these days, so it plans to close the case as soon as possible and seal up Zha Gui's sister's house as a murder house, so as to suppress the rumors.

As for how to deal with the bodies of Cha Gui and his godson, the officials were definitely reluctant to touch such an unfortunate and evil thing, and in the end, a few neighbors who were close to Cha Gui's sister's family on weekdays discussed, pooled money to invite a famous god from the city, and after doing some rituals, they found a place outside the south of the city and hurriedly buried it.

After listening to the rambling stories of the street boys, Shi Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know where Cha Gui's body is buried, it is very big outside the south gate of the city." ”

"Yes, yes." A round-headed young man hurriedly nodded and said, "I went to see the excitement on the day of the burial of the old man Chagui, if I remember correctly, it was buried in the third hillock of the eleven hillocks outside the south gate from west to east, uh...... It seems to be on the northeast slope of the hill, anyway, the old man's name is still written on the grave sign, and if a few immortals want to subdue demons and eliminate demons, they can find it. ”

After Shi Cheng asked about the news he cared about, he sent these street teenagers away, and these young people fled in a hurry as if they had been amnestied, and they didn't even dare to ask for the copper plate given by Shi Cheng.

Shi Cheng turned his head to look at the empty and desolate uninhabited wooden house, and said to Tie Mian and Wu Neng: "Let's go, let's go to the eleven hillocks to have a look." ”

"Lao Shi, why don't we go into the house and have a look? You might be able to find some clues related to the Lu Clan. ”

"Nope." To Wu Neng's surprise, Shi Cheng shook his head, "It's still unclear whether this matter has anything to do with the Lu clan." ”

"Have you figured out the ins and outs?" Iron Mask looked at Shi Cheng with incredible eyes.

"I don't dare to tell the ins and outs, but I have a preliminary guess, and I need to check the evidence on the corpse to prove it." Speaking of this, Shi Cheng accentuated his tone, "Cha Gui's corpse may be one of the most critical pieces of evidence!" ”

In this way, the group did not dare to delay, found a stall nearby, and hurriedly finished lunch, hurriedly got into the carriage, and went to the south gate of the city.

The so-called eleven hills are actually eleven small mounds connected to each other in the south of King Kenbin, and when Shi Cheng and the three of them came to the third hill mentioned by the street boy, it was already afternoon.

There are a lot of graves and wooden plaques with the names of the deceased written on the eleven hills, Shi Cheng and the three of them searched for nearly half an hour on the northeast slope of the third hill, and finally found two lonely tombs in a very remote place, the wooden plaque on the grave was written with Cha Gui's name in Chu Ze language, and two of the letters were misspelled, and the owner of the other tomb about three zhang away was Cha Gui's godson Ti Yaden.

"Old Shi, I feel that the coffin is buried quite deeply. Are you sure you want to open the coffin for an autopsy? So, I'll dig this place up with my newly made Kaiyama Saburo? Speaking of this, Wu Neng looked around with some weakness, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, he put his hand on a button on the hidden sky box on his waist.

"Don't bother with that." Shi Cheng squatted down, and after gently knocking on the graves of Cha Gui and Ti Yadeng, he stood up, he faced the grave, raised his hand and stopped Wu Neng behind him, "You and Tie Mian stand back." ”

After Wu Neng and Tie Mian did as they were told, Shi Cheng also took a few steps back, and after whispering "offended" in his mouth, he raised his right hand.

The next moment, the right hand raised to his ear pushed forward strongly, and a strong palm power rushed out, blasting Zha Gui's tomb open in the air!
