Chapter 80 Details determine success or failure
Candlelight ignited in the dim room, and several coffins were placed horizontally on the inside of the room, and the woman was stuffing the bodies into the coffin one by one.
She obviously did similar things several times and was very familiar with them.
In this place, even the coffin was arranged properly after killing people, only the coffin was carried and the burial was burial...
The two groups of people who came here before, and the coins and the dead just now, and even some scattered jewelry were placed on them. They were packed with sacks and piled up in the corner of the wall, and there were backpacks specially picked out. Unfortunately, they were not the original things, nor did they have the notes Lu Jiu wanted, but just some gold and silver utensils.
After flipping through the backpack, Lu Jiu did not mean to count other things, but instead flipped through boxes and cabinets everywhere in the house.
He was looking for a book to record the information on collecting the body.
From the female bandit, he learned enough information, and combined with the clues he had discovered before, he had already guessed in his mind.
Breaking ~
Another drawer was pulled open, and the old book with a blue cover lay quietly inside. Lu Jiu reached out to take it out and quickly flipped the paper page.
The predecessor left Qingding City on May 13th, so start looking for it from this page.
On May 14th, there is no record of collecting the body...
Turning to the page on May 15, Lu Jiu's gaze suddenly frozen.
I saw the pages of paper with sloppy brushes:
On the evening of May 15th, a young man was collected, wearing a blue-gray cloth shirt and carrying a brown backpack.
Almost the moment he saw this message, Lu Jiu realized that it was most likely his corpse. As his fingers slid on the page, he found that there was another paragraph behind this passage that was obviously added later.
‘The deceased’s brother asked him to be buried as soon as possible. The tomb was selected in the northeast corner of the tomb in the north of the city, and he received a burial fee of 5 silver dollars. He buried the person on May 16th...’
"Hey, bring the candle!"
Tear off this page of paper, Lu Jiu took out the notepad and turned around and said to the woman waiting aside.
The latter dared not be negligent, so he immediately took the candlestick to the counter next to Lu Jiu, glanced at what Lu Jiu was doing and took a few steps back with tactful steps.
Under the candlelight, Lu Jiu's face was full of excitement, and the pencil was quickly written on the notepad.
He finally figured out what happened in the days when some of his predecessor disappeared!
By integrating the currently known information, a clear context has emerged in Lu Jiu's mind.
His predecessor arrived in Changyi on May 13th and then began to search for traces of the heart-cut ghost. Before the evening of the fifteenth, he obviously found the heart-cut ghost through some method. He originally planned to exchange it for rewards, but he did not expect an accident.
The most likely situation is that both sides discovered each other, and an ordinary person in the previous life naturally could not fight against the Heart-Gaoing Ghost.
Normally, this is the end. The predecessor took risks to track down a powerful murderer for money, and he couldn't blame anyone for being killed.
However, the first turning point appeared here.
Shortly after his predecessor's death, someone, the "brother" mentioned in the book, sent his body to the charity village and asked to be buried as soon as possible.
Others don’t think there is anything wrong with this part of the account. It is normal to be buried in peace. If a foreigner really cannot return home, it is not strange to find a place to bury him.
The problem is that Lu Jiu doesn’t have any brother!
This 5 silver dollars were spent to let the people in the charity village bury who they were, what happened later and the information found by the female bandits and their group provided key information to Lu Jiu.
First of all, this charity farm has a secret cooperative relationship with the two bandits. You should know that there is still a saying of burial in this era. Even if ordinary people are buried, they have to bring something to the point of burial. The charity farm often accepts corpses, so naturally they will see those who come to claim the corpses.
To be honest, whenever someone comes to claim the corpse in the charity village and chooses to bury it near Changyi City, the people in the charity village will sneakily observe. If they find that the person who takes the corpse is extraordinary, they will sneakily tell the two of them the place where the burial is, and let them take the opportunity to go and steal the burial things.
Having said that, most people must understand.
Because this "brother" used 5 silver dollars as the funeral fee, it was regarded as a target by the people in the charity village. On the night when Lu Jiu was buried, the two tomb robbers took action decisively while the soil had not yet been completely solidified, which explained why the backpacks appeared in their homes.
Then the time came to May 18th.
These two tomb robbers were heartbroken and the managers of the charity village were missing. The account of various information in the book Lu Jiu only stayed on May 17th!
Why did the heart-cut ghost suddenly come to them, or would he describe it as his own?
There is only one explanation: the one who sent his body to the Yizhuang Village was the Heart-cutting Ghost!
He was very likely to want to achieve some goal through his body, so he specially spent 5 silver dollars to be buried as soon as possible to ensure that there would be no accidents.
However, the problem lies in these 5 silver dollars!
This wanted criminal who was murderous and famous did not expect that one day he would fall into the hands of such a small person who seemed like an ant. His predecessor was visited by a tomb robber shortly after he was buried. The plan to cut off the heart-cut ghost was destroyed by accident!
Lu Jiu didn't know what the purpose of the Heart-cutting Ghost was, but the latter showed his appearance clearly to remind the two tomb robbers and the administrator of the charity village that they had done before, so as to get the information they wanted.
The pencil paused between the paper pages, and Lu Jiu suddenly finished his pen, frowned and looked at the message he had just sorted out.
The heart-cut ghost took away the heart of his predecessor, and naturally thought that he would die. It is the best proof that he would find someone to bury him directly. Even if he is a living person, he would become dead after burying him overnight. However, the memory fragments left by his predecessor show that he still has some consciousness in the coffin.
The predecessor at that time was already a corpse, why did he suddenly resurrect?
This is completely contrary to common sense.
The fact that he died in Changyi City but woke up in Qingding City is also a mystery that is urgent to be verified.
There is no doubt that another turning point must have taken place during the period from the time when his former was buried and Lu Jiu woke up in Qingding City.
A turning point that even a heart-cut ghost had never thought of!
Lu Jiu needs further information.
The tomb of the north of the city...
Generally speaking, there will be gravekeepers in such public cemeteries. Even if they are incompetent, they should notice the strangeness of the grave.
With this in mind, Lu Jiu put away the notepad, blew out the candle, turned around and waved to the woman next to him.
"Sir, you can take all those things, just ask you..."
Bang!
Seeing the broken body lying on the ground, Lu Jiu was not even willing to listen to her begging for mercy.
Chapter completed!
