Chapter 1223 Wood Heart and Lung
Everyone hurriedly hurried and finally arrived at Mr. Wu’s tomb before dawn. When they arrived, the scene in front of them made everyone gasp and the tombstone was knocked down. , the buried paper figures, incense candles, paper money and other things were trampled in a mess. The most terrifying thing was that the hard tomb was dug open, revealing a large dark hole.
The edge of the hole is convex outward, which means...the hole was dug from the inside out. Judging from the traces on the scene, only Mr. Wu's body can do this.
Luo Tianhe squatted down and picked up a brick from the chaotic scene. After shaking off the soil on it, it can be seen that the brick is cyan and has a relatively fine texture.
"Is there something wrong with this brick?" Ding Zhenzong looked at the dark hole and then at the brick in Luo Tianhe's hand, feeling uneasy for no reason in his heart.
"They are green tomb bricks, removed from ancient tombs. This kind of tomb bricks are very strong. When building this tomb, a layer of glutinous rice juice was poured on them." After speaking, Luo Tianhe tapped lightly with his knuckles. Knocking on the tomb bricks, sure enough, the sound was very dull.
"But even so, it was still dug out, and most of these bricks are broken bricks." Li Bai stared at the ground, where there were many broken bricks scattered on the ground.
Faced with the scene in front of them, the second young master and his party seemed to have been prepared. They immediately called for people to move bricks, clean up the scene, and some people specially took out incense candles from the carrying poles. and offerings.
After a lot of trouble, Mr. Wu’s body was finally reburied back into the grave.
It is said that it is a burial, but it is more appropriate to stuff it back. But after all, we have to rush for time, so there is nothing to criticize. Everything about the ceremony is simple, and everyone just uses a rope to remove Mr. Wu’s body from the dark place. Put down the huge hole, and then seal the hole with bricks, as long as there is no problem visible from the outside.
After all this work, everyone's hearts were put back into their stomachs.
The second young master came up with the support of Laifu and thanked several people in Jiangcheng profusely, especially Luo Tianhe among them. He also promised to give all the masters an extra treat when this matter was completely resolved. A great gift.
On the way back, Luo Tianhe also took the opportunity to ask about the cause of Master Wu's death.
"My father...he was killed by those things." The second young master's voice was very low, as if it was squeezed out of his throat little by little, and it sounded very uncomfortable.
"Those things..."
"Yes, otherwise what could do such a cruel thing! When we arrived, my father's stomach was torn open, and the heart, lungs, intestines, etc. inside were...all emptied out, leaving only The next piece of skin! Blood... blood is everywhere." As if recalling the scene, the second young master's nervous voice trembled.
Luo Tianhe was silent for a moment, "Did Mr. Wu's heart and lungs be found later?"
The second young master pursed his lips and shook his head in pain, "No, I searched everywhere, but It just didn’t happen. We had no choice. In the end we had to find someone to make a cardiopulmonary system. , use good wood, then..."
The second young master suddenly choked up and did not say the next words, but everyone already understood the saying that people are buried with their whole bodies, and finally they buried them The heart and lungs made of wood were stuffed into Mr. Wu's belly and buried with the body.
This also corresponds to the weight of the corpse.
They still walked out of the side door in the alley when delivering the body, which was the door they entered the house through. It was already dawn, so in order to avoid attracting attention, they walked back here quietly as well.
As soon as they entered the door and walked a few steps, a man came and called the second young master away. Before leaving, the second young master gave Jiang Cheng and the others a sign, saying that with this sign they could freely enter and exit the Wu Mansion for their convenience. investigation.
After everyone in the Wu Mansion left, Ding Zhenzong couldn't wait to ask: "Remember those shelves in the warehouse? Do you think the wooden heart and lungs in Mr. Wu's body were also made of that kind of coffin wood? Made?”
“It must be uncomfortable to have something evil like that inside your body. Master Wu’s transformation may be related to this coffin wood. He comes back and moves his fingers every night to remind him of this. "The more Ding Zhenzong said, the more certain he became.
Until...
"No, if the body is made of coffin wood, then the body will never be so light, but very heavy, much heavier than a normal person." Luo Tianhe frowned slightly and subconsciously rubbed the sign in his hand.
Yao Shunyu stared at the sign in Luo Tianhe's hand, and later said: "There are too few clues, and it is useless to try here. Should we go back to the warehouse and take a look? Maybe there will be something new." The discovery. "
Back in the hall again, the bloody footprints on the ground are still there, giving people the feeling that there is an invisible person standing there, covered in blood.
The door of the warehouse was unlocked and opened with a push. The stale smell rushed towards her face. Lin Qianqian kept fanning the air in front of her face with her hands.
Although it is daytime, it is still relatively dark inside the warehouse, with only a little light coming through the cracks in the window.
The fat man found the window and wanted to open it, but unexpectedly found that the window was sealed. He tried several windows in succession, but nothing happened.
"Don't try it. It's not suitable to see the light here, otherwise the things on the shelves won't stand it." Luo Tianhe's tone was as simple as eating and drinking, but his wording made the fat man's hair stand on end. feeling.
Those things can't stand it...
Could it be that... the things that were once stored on the shelves are still alive?
Thinking that the shelf is made of coffin wood, since there is a coffin, the corpses stored on it must be those who have been dead for who knows how many years. Several animals wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms immediately popped into the fat man's mind. , a zombie with a green face and fangs.
The nails on the zombie's hands are still blue-black and more than an inch long.
No, it was getting more and more specific, and Fatty immediately interrupted his thoughts.
Here, Luo Tianhe and others seem to have made a discovery.
Luo Tianhe stood in front of the wooden shelf in question, lowered his body, and kept twitching his nose, as if he was smelling the smell of the wooden shelf, but as his body got lower and lower, he was almost lying on his stomach in the end On the ground.
As the fat man got closer, he could smell a faint fishy smell in the air.
"It seems... it's the smell of corpses." Li Bai squatted down, with a very serious expression on her face. Paired with her white coat, she felt like a forensic doctor at a crime scene.
Yuan Shanyuan seemed to have thought of something, and as Luo Tianhe lowered his body, his nose twitched slightly, and then his expression changed, "Not only is there the smell of corpses, but there is also a smell, the smell of corpses. Covered up."
"Come and help, move this shelf away." Luo Tianhe seemed to have confirmed the source of the problem, and immediately stood up and greeted everyone. (End of this chapter)
