Chapter 29 Section VII

Seeing that the old man of the tomb followed the strange voice to the tombs in the southeast, even though it was creepy, he still had to bite the bullet and investigate.When he found a small tape recorder under a cluster of flowers, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Oops!" Then he ran to the northwest - the young master's cemetery. He knew he had been tricked, but he didn't know that he had given the two thieves more than 20 minutes to find the source of the sound. When the tomb-watching old man rushed to Xia Qing's tombstone with a flashlight and electric baton panting, the scene in front of him made his head buzz and explode.He slumped to the ground, transfixed.

He couldn't understand what was going on here, couldn't comprehend everything in front of him. The young master's tomb was dug up, which didn't surprise him. What was strange was that the safe door was open, and there was no young master's body inside!And right in front of the safe, lay another corpse—the corpse of a lean old man. Seeing the tomb, the old man was completely dumbfounded.The death of that strange corpse was horrifying and frightening.And it looks like he just died.God, what the hell is going on here?what should I do? After staying there for a while, the old man watching the tomb realized that he had no other choice now, and he couldn't handle this situation.Trembling, he took out his mobile phone from his bag and called the police.After hesitating for a moment, he made another call to Butler Jin.

It's all over...but...just tell the truth. The thoughtful butler Jin left his mobile phone number to the old man who watched the tomb, and told him to call himself immediately if there is any unexpected situation.Now, the phone rang suddenly after twelve o'clock in the morning, and he glanced at the caller ID, and his heart skipped a beat—something went wrong. After answering the phone, Butler Jin managed to understand what had happened from the trembling and incoherent tomb-watching old man.His back was soaked in cold sweat immediately, and he cursed in his heart, damn it!damn it!

Butler Jin quickly got out of bed and got dressed.He thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter was of great importance, so he could only notify the husband immediately. Butler Jin lived on the first floor of Xia Lan's big house, but he didn't go upstairs to wake up Mr., but called to tell everything. A few minutes later, Xia Lan rushed out of the room with a horrified expression on his face. While buttoning his shirt indiscriminately, he asked eagerly, "How did this happen? And now where is Xia Qing's... corpse? !" "Sir, the old man who looked at the tomb was so frightened that he couldn't explain what happened. I'm afraid he doesn't even know what happened. We can only rush there immediately."

Xia Lan clenched her jaw, and quickly walked out of the door without saying a word.Butler Jin had already notified the driver and bodyguard, and the car was waiting at the door.Several people knew the seriousness of the situation, jumped into the car, and rushed to Ssangyong Cemetery. For the time being, Xia Lan did not tell his wife, Shangguan Yun.One was because it was late at night, and it was best for a woman not to go to a place like the cemetery; the other was because she was afraid that Shangguan Yun would cry again when she arrived at the scene, which would add to the chaos. The police arrived first.When Xia Lan and his party came to Xia Qing's tombstone, several policemen were taking pictures and investigating the scene.Xia Lan saw the adult body covered with a white cloth on the ground at a glance, and then raised her eyes to see the safe that was dug out—and the door of the safe was opened!His mind was also stunned for an instant, and he could no longer keep calm.He walked up to the police quickly and asked, "What happened here? Where is my son's body?!"

The old man watching the tomb shivered and hid behind the police.Several policemen looked at Xia Lan, and a middle-aged male policeman who was somewhat bald said, "Are you a relative of the owner of this tomb?" "Yes, I am the president of the Xia Lan Consortium." Xia Lan knew that it would be useful to reveal her identity at this time. "My son who died unexpectedly two months ago is buried here." The policemen looked at each other.The bald policeman looked at the scene and said: "This is a cemetery, but now I see safes, jewelry, and fresh corpses that died half an hour ago. President Xia, you came just in time, maybe you can tell me what is going on with all this .”

Xia Lan stared at the policeman: "Are you asking me?" "Of course I'll ask you. At least you can explain to us—what happened to the safe buried in the lower tomb." Xia Lan closed his eyes, he had to go back to the day when the tragedy happened: "Two months ago, my son and I were at home..." Suppressing the sharp pain in her heart, Xia Lan briefly described the cause of the incident.The bald policeman nodded sympathetically after listening: "It is really sad and regrettable. So, your decision to bury the safe containing the child's body in the jewelry box in the cemetery was done in secret. But now It seems that this matter has leaked out." The bald policeman glanced at the old man in the tomb, and said meaningfully, "Then who leaked the news?"

Hearing this, the old man who watched the tomb turned pale with fright, and quickly argued: "Officer, and the boss... I never told anyone! I can swear to God, this secret, even in my hometown. My wife never said anything!" Xia Lan stepped forward quickly, grabbed the arm of the old man watching the tomb and asked, "What happened tonight?! Where did my son's body go?" Seeing that the tomb old man's feet were weak, he said tremblingly: "Boss, I really don't know, I was also tricked... When I came in a hurry, it was already like this." Xia Lan stared and asked, "Who have you been tricked by?"

The bald policeman pulled Xia Lan away, and then said to the old man watching the tomb, "Don't worry, tell the whole process slowly." The old man watching the tomb nodded and swallowed: "Since the young master was buried here, I will go to visit his tomb every hour every day. At 11:30 tonight, I heard There are strange noises outside the house..." The old man told the story of how he had been tricked.After listening to his narration, the police went to the place he said and found the small tape recorder. When Xia Lan saw this thing, she gritted her teeth and said, "This was done by tomb robbers with a plan and premeditation!"

"It can only be understood in this way." The bald policeman looked at the corpse covered in white cloth on the ground, "It seems that the person who was scared to death is a grave robber." "Is this person scared to death?" Jin Butler asked. The bald policeman said, "Would you like to see this body? See if he is someone you know." Xia Lan and Butler Jin glanced at each other, and the two walked forward.A policeman gently lifted the white cloth, exposing the upper half of the body.Xia Lan took a look and took a breath in her heart.The policeman was right—the terrifying appearance of eyes wide open, mouth and nose wide open, and hands covering his heart, did seem to have died of a heart attack after being extremely frightened.

The policeman covered the white cloth and asked Xia Lan and Jin Butler, "Do you know him?" The two shook their heads together. "It seems to be an old thief trying to steal treasure." The bald policeman said, "Our preliminary judgment is that this person died of myocardial infarction after being strongly stimulated or frightened. Of course, whether this is the case still awaits further forensic examination. " Xia Lan didn't care about the dead old thief, he asked again: "Where is my son's body? Where is it?" The bald policeman shook his head: "This...is the weirdest part of this case." He looked at the old man watching the grave again, "When you reported the case, you said that when you came here, you saw that there was no body in the safe." ?” The old man nodded again and again: "It's absolutely true... I only saw the man's body lying next to it. In the safe, there is really nothing... Ah, no... There are many gems and jade articles." The bald policeman turned his head and said to Xia Lan: "When we arrived, we also saw that there were only gems and jades in the safe—this is strange, the purpose of the tomb robber was obviously the jewelry in the safe, but he opened the safe Behind the safe, what did he see that caused him to be frightened to death? Obviously, what he saw could not be just these jewels and jade articles? And if there were only ordinary corpses in the safe, it would not be possible to analyze it logically. People are scared to death—those who plan to rob graves, it’s not even possible that they are not mentally prepared for this, right?” At this time, a white-gloved policeman next to him said: "Also, I checked carefully, if there is really a dead body in this safe, and after more than a month, the dead body should have rotted out of shape long ago. But not only is there no trace of rotting corpses inside the safe, even the gems and jades are clean, and there is not even a trace of rotten smell." The bald policeman nodded slightly, he paused for a while, and suddenly pointed out sharply: "Mr. Xia, where is the body of the child you mentioned? Where is it? What is in this safe?" Butler Jin couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out and said: "Officer! Please consider the feelings of a father who lost his child! Do you think that Mr. Xia Lan is lying? Who would take his son's life as a joke? It has been more than a month , Mr. Xia Lan is so emaciated that everyone around him is worried about him. You still say such things now!" Facing Steward Jin's condemnation, the bald police officer turned a deaf ear and did not respond at all.He just stared at Xia Lan, watching his reaction. Xia Lan stood there blankly, no one could guess his thoughts. After more than a minute, Xia Lan suddenly grabbed Butler Jin's shoulder and said, "Butler Jin, there is no Xia Qing's body in the safe!" Butler Jin nodded inwardly without knowing it: "Yes, sir...you...?" Xia Lan let out a moan that seemed to be crying but not laughing, tears streaming down her face: "Could we have made a mistake, Manager Jin? What do you think? Xia Qing didn't die, right? He didn't hide in the safe that day, right? !" Butler Jin stared at Xia Lan dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. The bald policeman stood beside him, frowned, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, you go back for now. We will investigate this case further. If your cooperation is needed, we will naturally notify you." While consoling Xia Lan, Butler Jin beckoned to two bodyguards to help the husband back into the car.was about to leave, The bald policeman shouted: "The gold, silver and jewelry in this safe should be worth a lot, right? You don't want it anymore?" Butler Jin glanced at Xia Lan, who was tearful and distracted, and knew that his mind was not on these jewels at all.He said to the police: "Thank you, officer, I will ask someone to carry the safe back." "Wait, you can take away the contents. But this safe is an important item, we have to take it back to the bureau for careful study." The bald policeman said. Butler Jin thought for a while, and said: "Okay." He took a plastic bag for evidence from the police, packed the gems and jade in the safe like loose biscuits, thanked him again, and got into the car . The car drove away from the cemetery. No one knew that there were two grave robbers.Police recovered only a folding shovel at the scene. That little thief named Falcon—where has he gone? This is for a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
