Chapter 128 - The First Day

Just as the coffin was revealed, a gust of mountain wind blew.

As the dust and sand rose into the air, I subconsciously narrowed my eyes.

The instant my eyes narrowed, the sky suddenly darkened to make it look like night. At the same time, I felt a bit chilly.

In a daze, I thought I heard children crying, and more than one.

When he looked carefully, the moonlight was hazy … The sky had really turned dark. In the dim light, he could see that the grave was open and the coffin was open, but there was no one inside.

On the other side of the grave, a man and a woman, two children tied together by hemp ropes, were crying.

A stooped figure was sitting on the floor with his back facing them, fiddling with something.

While playing with the drum, he seemed to be talking to himself and his two children at the same time:

"It's almost done, it's almost done … You will be reunited with your sister in a moment. "Obediently, the two of you. When you get down there, listen to what Pingping has to say. If she can come back earlier, the two of you, as kids, can look after her as well …"

The more I listened, the more suspicious I became. I walked around the grave and followed after them.

Walking in front of that person and seeing the scene in front of me, I felt like I was going crazy!

This person was actually Zhang Ping's father, the old blacksmith who had one of her legs crippled.

In front of him was a Young Women who had been tied up by all sorts of restrictions.

This woman was still alive, but she could only emit "Wu Wu Wu" sounds from her throat.

This was because her mouth was tightly sewn with needle and thread!

The old cobbler picked up a thin needle and dipped it in a black and red sticky liquid. He mumbled something silently...

All of a sudden, he stabbed the needle into the woman's chest!

"Ugh …"

The woman widened her eyes in pain, her body twitching intensely.

On closer look, there were more than a hundred thin needles sticking out of her body. Under the moonlight, they shone with a cold, starry light …

Looking at the woman's face contorted in pain, I suddenly remembered that she was the fake bride who got off the bridal sedan last night!

When I saw that the old cobbler was going to put the needle in her body again, I yelled, "Stop!" and wanted to rush forward to stop him.

"Xu Huo!"

Zhao Qi's voice sounded in my ears, and a pair of powerful large hands held me tightly from the back.

I jolted and focused my eyes. It was still early in the morning, even though the sky was cloudy.

Liu Mingzhang, Li Xuannan and the rest all looked at me in shock. One of the police officers actually had his hand on his gun.

The grave was opened, but the coffin did not come out.

"Old cobbler..."

In the blink of an eye, he saw the old cobbler's corpse lying lifelessly to the side.

Zhao Qi slowly let go of my hand, grabbed my arm, and asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

I pushed his hand away, and panted heavily. After a long while, I finally managed to rub my face, and looked at Liu Mingzhang. My voice trembled uncontrollably: "Captain Liu, call for reinforcements …"

Liu Mingzhang suspiciously looked at me and said in a deep voice:

"You've seen the security cameras, so you should know that this is unusual. I don't think there will be too many people alerted before the whole thing is made clear."

"Call for reinforcements!" A medical examiner! Forensics! Call them all! Collect evidence! The case is special, but this is murder! " I vigorously waved my hand, almost shouting.

Zhao Qi pulled me back, looked at the coffin, and looked at Liu Mingzhang: "Captain Liu, listen to him, call for reinforcements."

Liu Mingzhang looked into his eyes for a while before he picked up the phone …

While I was waiting for help, I sat under a tree and smoked one cigarette after another.

Zhao Qi accompanied his and smoked two cigarettes, and could not help but ask: "What happened last night?"

I shook my head in realization. "It's not last night. It was the night before yesterday."

Thinking about how Zhang Ping's ghost went to the back street to ask for help, I couldn't help but smash my fist on the tree trunk.

"I should have killed that woman back then!"

"Zhao Qi, is there a problem with him?" Liu Mingzhang stood at the side and stared at me with a gloomy face.

Li Xuannan and the two policemen looked at me strangely, even fearfully.

Looking at these doubtful gazes, I chuckled dryly and said that when the coffin is opened, you will all feel the same.

Ghost bride with needles all over her body... There was a man and a woman on the grave, two children …

This is enough to prove that I wasn't hallucinating just now. Rather, it was the determination and resentment of the deceased that triggered the latent spiritual sense.

Before that, I had thought that I shouldn't have tried to kill the old cobbler's soul last night.

He might have used the smithy master's skills to get Zhang Ping to pick up her corpse, but that was only because he doted on his daughter.

That was until he saw the cruel scene through his spiritual sense …

I don't know what was in the coffin, but I had a feeling that the cruelty I was about to see would far exceed the limits of what a normal person could bear …

"Damn!"

"Ugh …"

"F * ck!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Ahhh!"

The reinforcements rushed over. The moment the proof of justice was done and the coffin lid was opened, almost everyone fell into an abnormal state of hysteria.

Even the old policeman Liu Mingzhang turned pale. He rushed to a big tree and kicked at the tree trunk a few times.

"How can this be? Why is this happening? " He strode up to me, grabbed my collar with both hands, and stared at me with bloodshot eyes.

I lowered my eyes and said, word for word, "I'm just an intern. "Case, investigation."

… ….

The next morning, on the train on the way back, in the dining car number five.

Zhao Qi bit open a bottle of beer and placed it in front of me. He also bit open a bottle himself and touched the surface of my beer bottle, "Drink some."

I picked up the beer bottle, touched him again, and took a sip from it.

Zhao Qi drank a mouthful of beer, put down the bottle and said:

"Other than Zhang Ping, the identities of the other three bodies in the coffin have been confirmed. The young girl was Zhou Yao, and the boy was Zhou Zhu. The three of them were siblings and sisters. Zhou Yao and Zhou Zhu were born with the birth of a dragon and a phoenix.

Their mother had died in childbirth four years ago, after giving birth to next week's baby Yao and Zhou Zhu. Not long after that, their father, because of. Because … He committed suicide by drinking pesticide. In order to support his siblings, Zhou Lin stayed in a house in the town … A hairdresser being a 'shampoo girl'... "

After saying that, Zhao Qi drank all the beer in the bottle in one gulp, turned his head and looked out the window.

I also finished my beer in one gulp and muttered,

"I shouldn't have promised Zhang Ping to bring her body back."

Zhao Qi turned around, and said with a frown:

"Are you thinking too much? Even if you don't tell me, the Bureau will still have to follow the procedures and notify her family. After that, they will have to make the arrangements according to the actual situation and in the end, still have to bring Zhang Ping's body back.

Xu Huo, I am the law enforcer and you are the verification officer! But we're both human, ordinary people! We are not gods. We cannot know the thoughts of certain people and thus stop them from committing crimes!

Zhang Liang... The old cobbler is a cripple. He can't move. Have you ever thought about how he built that grave, how he brought the coffin up there, and how he brought the third sister and sister-in-law of the Zhou family up the mountain?

It could only be said that when he received the notice that Zhang Ping had died, he had already started to plan. The two children were buried alive, Zhou Lin was … We couldn't even think of that kind of cruelty, how can we stop it? "

Zhao Qi bit off another two bottles of beer, spat out the bottle cap, and touched me:

"Brother, your two occupations are very special, but when I am talking about them with Old Guo and Ma Li, they all have to admit that you are very magnanimous. I don't want you to blame yourself for this, and I don't want you to be narrow-minded and paranoid because of it. Stick to your goals, stick to being yourself! "

I nodded. "Thank you, Brother Zhao."

The two of them clinked their bottles again and emptied them in one gulp.

Zhao Qi slammed the bottle of wine onto the table and looked out the window in the blink of an eye, slowly closing his eyes.

… ….

'If one day you find out that I've cheated you, will you hate me? '

'What would you lie to me about? ' I smiled and clicked on it. I glanced at the head of the clay doll on the screen, swiveled the phone between my fingers, and leaned back in the rattan chair.

It was only after a long time that a tremor came from the tip of his fingers.

'I actually died seven years ago.'

I cut it open and was about to reply when the meat floss made a sound. It jumped up from the side of my feet and ran to the door.

"Hehehehe …" The smart Kid, do you smell the fragrance of burnt ribs? "

A 'man' in a three-piece suit and long hair jumped to the door and shook the plastic bag in his hand at the meat loaf.

"Pan Ying?"

I subconsciously rolled my eyes. "Why are you here again?" Is it fun? "

"I was the one who wanted to come." Sang Lan appeared outside the door, snatching the plastic bag from Pan Ying's hands, pulling her in.

"You …"

She put the plastic bag on the counter in front of me, her eyes slanted toward the meat.

"We reported a success in the afternoon and celebrated in the evening. We just happened to be having supper on Fang Hua Road. Since today is the first day, and you were on duty, I packed a plate of Roasted Ribs. You. When you're done eating, give the bones to the mincemeat.

"The other name that goes with the ribs is' Half man, Half dog '!" I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"As long as your teeth are good, you can eat them all." Pan Ying said as she rubbed her head and rolled her eyes.

I sniffed through the plastic bag and couldn't help but take a deep breath. I looked at the clock on the wall and then looked at Sang Lan.

"Thank you. It's getting late. Let's go back early. "

Sang Lan rubbed his fleshy head, and raised his head to nod at me, "Then we'll be leaving first."

"Mm, be careful on the way, you'll have to invite disaster upon yourself!"

"Scram!"

Sang Lan rolled her eyes at me as she pulled Pan Ying away.

Just as he reached the door, he heard a dull thud as he slammed the door. Following which, a bloodied face appeared at the door.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Sang Lan and Pan Ying screamed at the same time.

"Woof woof woof woof …" "Woof woof woof …" The meat floss began to bark.

"To the backyard!"

I said loudly and suddenly stood up. I grabbed a handful of bamboo knife and walked out of the counter, then pulled Sang Lan and Pan Ying behind me and pushed them out of the back door.
