Chapter 349 The Zhu Family’s Secret

"You can always hear them talking?" Old Man Zhu looked at Pei Anzhu in shock, "That's right, you seem to be very capable, and it's normal to have some special magical powers."

After saying this, Old Man Zhu looked slumped and continued to speak:

"Miss Pei, I admit that I have bad thoughts towards you and want to peel off your skin and give it to my children, but seeing that I have not succeeded, can you get around me once?"

"You just didn't succeed with me, but the five people before were actually killed by you." Pei Anzhu said.

She ignored Old Man Zhu’s nagging behind her and called Officer Du directly to ask them to come in.

Pi Anzhu had already opened another floor of the night theater. Officer Du and the others quickly came in and followed the clues Pei Anzhu had provided before, all the way to the basement.

Police Officer Du nodded to Pei Anzhu and said:

"Miss Shen is watching the other six families outside. After we finish dealing with this place, we will go over to help."

When Old Man Zhu heard this, he immediately lost control:

"What six families? What have you done? Who are you?"

"You don't think that we don't know about the things you did secretly, do you?" Pei Anzhu said coldly, and casually put a truth charm on him, "Officer Du, you can ask now."

It was better to leave the investigation to professionals. She only needed to find out what was wrong with the theater.

So, while Officer Du was asking questions, Pei Anzhu walked around the entire theater.

By the time she came back and she had finished asking all the questions, Officer Du said:

"The bodies of the five people he skinned before were all dumped in the well in the backyard of the theater. He also made a list of victims, which is said to be kept in a secret room. As long as we find this list, we can find the five people who were replaced. people.”

Pei Anzhu nodded and said:

“Officer Du, could you please send someone to pick up the body from the bottom of the well? I’ll go to the secret room with you to take a look. I think there should be more than just a list of victims in the secret room.”

Police Officer Du made arrangements quickly.

Assistant Lin Lei led people to retrieve the body. He and Pei Anzhu came to the door of the secret room.

The door to the secret room is also in the basement, just behind the largest shadow puppet on the wall. If you take down the shadow puppet, you can see the complicated mechanisms on the wall.

Police Officer Du had already asked how to open the mechanism. He went forward to operate it, and soon the door of the secret room opened.

A few people were left outside to watch Old Man Zhu and Zhu Jin, and only Pei Anzhu and Officer Du entered the secret room—

This secret room is half the size of the basement next door.

There are not so many beds and tables, and there are no hanging shadow puppets. Instead, there are a few boxes.

Pei Anzhu walked over and opened the boxes one by one. Inside was the Zhu family's genealogy. There were more than a dozen thick volumes, some new and some old. It seemed that they had been passed down for many generations.

There is also a stack of blueprints in the box at the back.

The drawings include the design drawings of the theater building, the design drawings of six other stores, and the construction drawings of the entire Lost Town. Basically every detail has been drawn.

The formation of the town, where each store is in the formation, what role it plays, etc., is very clear.

It can be seen from these drawings that when the town was built at that time, it was specially built to look like a Bagua Pan. In short, this town existed for a certain purpose when it was built hundreds of years ago.

The next few boxes contain some gold, silver, jewelry, and antique jades, which seem to have been passed down for many generations. It seems that Mr. Zhu’s previous statement that the theater disbanded its theater troupes and used shadow puppets instead because of lack of funds is untenable.

As long as he sells one or two of these things, his theater will definitely not have financial problems.

The only possibility is that these things cannot be sold, circulated on the market, or let others know of their existence.

Pei Anzhu skipped the genealogy and drawings, looked at the boxes at the back, and said:

“These are the underworld objects, also known as burial objects.”

"Judging from the age, it should be a tomb from a thousand years ago. The standard is very high. It should be at least the owner of the place. Judging from the style of the funerary objects, it should be from an ethnic minority."

“This place is located in the south. It must be the tomb of the southwest chieftain.”

After hearing this, Officer Du suddenly remembered:

“Speaking of which, I am reminded of one thing. About thirty years ago, our country’s archaeological team discovered a chieftain’s tomb in the southwest region. It was very large, like a royal tomb.”

“Originally, everyone speculated that there might be many funerary objects inside. If those things could be excavated, it would be of great help to us in understanding and supplementing the history of the southwest region.”

“Unexpectedly, after digging, the archaeological team discovered the robbery cave. All the valuable funerary objects inside were gone, leaving only some things of little value.”

“Now it seems that these things may have been dug out of that tomb.”

Pei Anzhu nodded and said:

"It makes sense to say that the Zhu family's theater has been on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor business and lack of funds since it was passed down to Old Man Zhu's generation. Old Man Zhu tried his best to make money, and he got these funeral companions from nowhere. Taste."

"It's a pity that at that time, the state was very strict about reselling cultural relics, so he couldn't take action, so he hid these things in a secret room. The theater had no funds to support it, so it disbanded the troupe and used shadow puppets instead."

“I will have these cultural relics taken away and handed over to the National Institute of Antiquities.” Officer Du said, “As for these drawings, I have to trouble Master Pei.”

The drawings are full of metaphysical formation knowledge, and others cannot understand it, so they can only hand it to Pei Anzhu.

Police Officer Du quickly called someone over, carried all the things out of the secret room, and moved them all to the house temporarily rented by the Alien Bureau in the town of Mizong.

That’s right, the Foreign Affairs Bureau rented a house in the town.

After all, there are so many of them, it is impossible for them all to stay in a hotel, and it is inconvenient to discuss anything. It is better to rent a small B&B and just book it for a period of time.

Old man Zhu was tied there. Seeing all his things being carried away, his whole body was filled with hatred:

“Stop! If there is any mistake in my Zhu family’s genealogy, the Zhu family will definitely not let you go!”

“Don’t worry, after we check it and determine that your genealogy is OK, we will return it to you naturally.” Officer Du said, “But if there is any problem, don’t blame us for doing business.”

At this time, a subordinate came over and said:

“Boss, all five bodies have been fished out from the well in the backyard. What should we do next?”

Officer Du thought for a while and ordered:

"Compare the list of victims written by Old Man Zhu, verify their identities one by one, and then check the current situation of those dark ghosts in human skins. Make the preliminary preparations well, and wait until we finish handling the affairs of the town. , I have to trouble Master Pei to make a trip."

After all, no one else can deal with those dark ghosts, only Pei Anzhu can deal with them.
