Chapter 11: Clues
Saying goodbye to Gray Hime, I didn't stop for a moment.
It's almost noon, the sky is cloudless, and the sun is about to hang on the commanding heights of the sky. If you don't hurry to find clues, the day will pass. That guy only gave me three days, and he didn't provide any clues, so he wasted a lot of my time.
I ran as hard as I could, and the purple light that belonged to the Eighth Order Swordsman quietly emanated from the dantian and concentrated on my legs. I ran like a rabbit, like the wind. The temporary separation from Gray Ji also allows me to do my best.
At the same time, I also thought that in the past few days, my true qi has been spent on useless things, either in a hurry, or to deter and intimidate others, and I have not practiced for a long time. Although he has a tendency to break through the eighth order, it is useless not to work hard.
My eyes lit up, my head sank slightly, and all the true qi in my body was released at this time. A purple mist spread out on an extremely frightening scale, and I didn't care what the pedestrians on the road thought of me, I just wanted to be able to push my limits by hurrying.
The purple mist turned into smaller clouds in the air, and I suddenly tapped my toes on the ground, then leaped onto one of them. With the potential energy of the clouds, I rushed forward like an arrow, and then stepped on another cloud that followed me. There were about five clouds, and the three-kilometer road was completed in a while.
"Cut!" I stood under the stone archway in front of the Zhaocun Cemetery, without the slightest feeling of panting, and then sighed: "Just such a little road, it is not enough for me to practice, and I will definitely hone and hone myself when I find a time." I can't rest on my laurels like my people, I want to be a foreigner!"
Looking up, the four big characters of "Zhaocun Cemetery" are deeply engraved on the archway. The stone on the archway is a little yellowish, which is the result of wind and rain and sun, which also means that this cemetery has existed for many years.
Entering the gate, on the right-hand side are two small bungalows, through which you can see the minimalist dΓ©cor inside. One is a security guard's quarters, with large and small surveillance screens and a desk, and a man in security guard clothes resting on his stomach, while the other is the cemetery keeper's, neatly arranged with all kinds of cleaning tools, a simple bed, and a few benches that have been repaired for an unknown number of times.
The cemetery keeper didn't know where to go, so he must have gone to patrol the neighborhood. However, when the phenomenon of tomb robbery is so rampant, he still dares to go alone to inspect, and he is quite bold.
I turned my head to look at the other side, and it was a dense cemetery. The names of the deceased are engraved on the small monuments, and the stone boxes next to them should contain the cremated urns. When a person dies, he will be in this land, and think about a person's life.
At this time, there was the sound of the car coming to a stop behind him, the engine slowly turned off, the door opened, and a rich woman with good skin and gold and silver walked out of the car. With a sad countenance, she passed by me in a panic, came to one of the cemeteries, and burst into tears.
Not far away, an old man with a hunched body rushed to the woman's side under the leadership of two policemen.
It turned out that the old man was the caretaker of the cemetery, and he did not go to patrol alone, but was accompanied by the police. He held a large set of keys in his hand, and then hurriedly unlocked the stone box in front of the rich woman, and a mahogany box was solemnly held out inside. The person behind the rich woman, who was supposed to be the housekeeper, also took out the key and opened the mahogany box, and there was nothing in it.
"No, my lover's ashes have been stolen like this!?" The rich woman didn't care about any image, handed the mahogany box into the butler's hands, and then grabbed the old man's shirt, and scolded angrily: "How do you manage this place as an administrator? The ashes were stolen one by one, and the most important thing is that you didn't care about my lover! I tell you, I have money, and I will sue you until you are ruined!"
The caretaker of the cemetery is not young, and his temper is not small. Don't look at him as thin and weak, he came up and shouted: "You sue me! I'm already in the armor anyway, what more body and what name do I want? I'll tell you, I don't know what's going on with this matter! I can't even find out why the police can't find out why, I'm a little cemetery keeper, how do I know what to do!"
"Are you still reasonable?" As she spoke, the rich woman and the cemetery keeper were about to fight, and the housekeeper and the policeman next to him hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
"This lady, this is the case, this tomb robber's methods are too clever, we have just accompanied this old man to the scene to see, and we really can't find direct evidence. Please dissipate your anger, it has nothing to do with this old man. The policeman was separated between the two and said respectfully to the rich woman.
The cemetery keeper gave the rich woman a blank look, then turned his head and snorted.
The rich woman pointed to the cemetery keeper, then to the policeman, and said incoherently: "You, you wait." If I don't see my lover's ashes again, I'll put the blame on you!, I don't care if you're an administrator or a policeman!" After saying that, the rich woman threw herself on the urn in the butler's arms, and began to cry loudly.
This grave robber is unforgivable!
I hurried up and asked eagerly: "Hello comrade policeman, I want to ask, can you take me to see the scene you just mentioned?"
The two policemen looked at each other, and then asked me suspiciously, "Who are you?"
I scratched my head and said with some embarrassment: "I am the prince of the Huang clan, Yuhuang, and the police officer of Cangxuanmen arranged for me to come here to help him search for clues." β
The two policemen looked at each other again, and then one of them said: "Oh! You are a friend of the man who destroyed the football stadium in Xuanjian City? My name is Officer Luo, I know everything, you can come with me!"
This...... Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!
I smiled awkwardly, "Oh!"
In the midst of crying, the rich woman was helped back into the car by the housekeeper and walked away. The cemetery keeper also returned to his house angrily, indicating that he did not want to go there again. So I followed the two policemen all the way to the depths of the cemetery.
"Do you have any clues about this case right now?" I curiously broke the silence.
Officer Luo shook his head and said, "Hey, except for some metal particles that appeared at the scene, there are no other clues." What I'm going to take you to now is the grave of the four people who died in the car accident two days ago. The family of four all died, and no one took care of it, so they had to choose a burial for them. However, it was dug up because of the broken officer, and it has not been re-buried, so you can check it again for yourself right away. β
I nodded.
Another policeman continued: "By the way, since you are the prince of the Phoenix clan, you should be powerful and powerful? I have heard of the prestige of the Phoenix clan for a long time, but I didn't expect to see a real person here with my own eyes, it is really extraordinary." β
"Eh, Xiao Huang, don't talk about these useless things. Officer Luo glared at Officer Huang, who quickly shut up and stopped patting me.
Speaking of which, after I ran away from home, few people cared about my status as a prince. Because I came into contact with either people who were nobles with me, such as Gray Hime, or people who were stronger than me and didn't take me seriously, such as Broken Thoughts. Now I feel like being slapped on the back, not to mention, it's quite comfortable!
Officer Luo walked and walked, suddenly wrinkled his chin, and said, "But since you are the prince of the Phoenix clan and have great magical powers, it should help this case, right?"
I don't dare to say it, after all, my ability to break my thoughts is stronger than mine, and he hasn't found out anything, let alone my words.
Officer Luo still had a sad face and said, "I really hope to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise I will really have trouble sleeping." β
I glanced at Officer Luo, and a sense of respect came over me. I said to myself, I must bring that grave robber to justice!
By this time, we had moved away from the cemetery complex and were replaced by small mounds, which were burial areas. This was built spontaneously by the former peasants before the modern cemetery was built. The bodies buried inside are basically the remains of the last century or even the last century, but no one knows if there is anything in it now.
Coming to the four digged holes at the very edge, I finally saw the empty scene. The soil was dug up by shovels and shovels planted in the ground on the side, and it had not rained, and the soil was still relatively loose. And in the hole next to the soil pile, there was nothing, as if someone had made a big joke.
The two policemen had already investigated, and now they were just patrolling the neighborhood a little more, while I jumped straight into the pit to see what was going on inside. How could the bones have disappeared so inexplicably?
I reached out and dug a handful of dirt, it was very tight, not like it would be stolen by digging a secret passage overnight. Moreover, what is the use of these bodies and the ashes of the corpses, and what is the motive of the tomb robbers? It is so strange.
Wait! I suddenly realized something, I always felt like something was wrong in this hole. I called two police officers and gathered together.
"What's wrong, Yuhuang, have you found anything?" asked Officer Luo expectantly.
I handed them a handful of dirt that I had just dug up: "Do you feel it, how is this different from ordinary dirt?"
Officer Huang twisted the soil from his hand, and then scattered it into yellow sand and fell to the ground: "There is no problem? It is very tight and old, and it does not feel like it has been renovated." β
"No!" I dismissed their opinion: "Perhaps, you can't feel it, but I can!"
I grabbed another handful of dirt from the edge of the pit and said, "I once swallowed the Ice Soul Fruit by mistake, so I'm particularly sensitive to temperature now. Why is there a difference in the temperature of the soil in different areas in this small pothole?"
When I asked this question, Officer Luo suddenly realized: "You mean, the other party still stole the bones from the ground by excavation?"
I frowned: "I can only say that there is a possibility, I'm not sure." But let's dig it and give it a try!"
Under my guidance, the three of us each took shovels and began to dig one of the holes intensively. The truth must be buried deep in the soil!
