After pulling out the firewood pile, as expected, a obviously dug-out soil layer was found in the corner of the wall.

The last digger was quite perfunctory when filling the soil, so that the soil blocks were not completely solid and had uneven heights.

After taking the iron pliers next to him, Lu Jiu easily dug up the surface soil blocks. In fact, after a few strokes, the end of the iron pliers encountered a hard object.

After all cleaning up, the wooden cover that appeared in front of Lu Jiu was a foot long and wide with an iron ring buckle. He raised his hand and lifted it open.

A hollow layer about one and a half feet deep, and the things inside surprised Lu Jiu, who thought he had been cleared long ago.

A kerosene lamp, a few candles, two sets of folded "mouse clothes", that is, a black onesie. In addition, there is a short peach wood sword and two masks... I took out the clothes and kerosene lamps and looked at them, and it was full of dried and broken soil stuck to it.

"Ha, no wonder I looked at the sneaky ones, it turned out to be two tomb robbers!"

That's right, these things are obviously tomb robbers in Lu Jiu's opinion. The best proof is that the trash on these things and the peach wood sword used to suppress evil.

Moreover, judging from the placement of the instruments in the space, there is obviously a half of the left side, which should be specially used to store something, and it is likely that it is the target of the previous group of people who found this place.

It's just why two tomb robbers were caught by "self"? Aren't they just dealing with dead bodies...

Thinking about the relationship between the two, Lu Jiu's gaze stayed in the space, suddenly condensed, leaned over and reached out to take out a metal lock with cloud patterns from the space, looked back and forth, then took off the backpack with his backhand, and pulled the lock of the outer zipper to compare.

Exactly the same!

The sudden accident made Lu Jiu feel unresponsive for a moment. He held the lock and sat on the stool behind him, frowned and fell into deep thought.

As a rich young man, Zhou Ze's birthday gift to Lu Jiu is naturally not a bargain. The market price is 500 copper coins. Ordinary families rarely buy such things, let alone such a dilapidated house. This means that this cloud pattern lock cannot be the tomb robber's own thing.

Is it possible that it was left out of your backpack?

The cloud pattern lock appeared in this place where to store tomb robbers and tomb robbers’ income. It is very likely that these two tomb robbers had dug out from which coffin.

Suddenly, he looked down at his heart. The scar and the disappearing heartbeat made Lu Jiu realize that he might have died before.

With this in mind, Lu Jiu turned the notepad forward a few pages and found the page that recorded the memory fragments he had obtained after he was unconscious after he ran away:

‘The sound of shoveling soil’, ‘The sound of soil falling somewhere makes a crisp sound’ (first judged as wooden boards or metal), ‘dark environment’ (the possibility of blindfolding eyes is not ruled out).

The sound and environment that Lu Jiu was puzzled at the beginning, now it seems that it was what he saw and heard in the coffin?

But shouldn't I be buried in the coffin be a corpse? Why do I still have consciousness?

I am a foreigner. If I really died in Changyi City, who would have buried me?

Through this cloud pattern lock, we can think further. The reason why these two families were destroyed is probably also needed to be investigated.

Take out the notepad from his pocket, and Lu Jiu had already thought about his life or death in Changyi City when he was at home, so he decided a must-visit place before he arrived in Changyi County, which was a charity house for storing corpses that were difficult to be buried due to unclaimed or implicated in crimes!

Although most charity houses are actually not related to corpses, they are a gift point for the help of people of the same race, Changyi County itself has a large number of foreign populations due to its different industrial structure, so the charity houses here still bear the functions mentioned above.

If Lu Jiu was really killed by him because of investigating the heart-cutting ghost and his heart was cut off, then his body would probably be sent to the charity house for temporary storage. Lu Jiu originally planned to go to the charity house today to inquire about the situation, but now he found the cloud pattern lock, and this trip would undoubtedly have to go.

......

As noon approached, the rain that had been brewing since the early morning finally drizzled.

"Wow~ Young Master, there is Liushun Factory in front of you, with 20 copper coins."

The coachman pulled the reins of the horse and put on a straw raincoat to open the door for Lu Jiu. It is common for carriages carrying passengers in Changyi County to be used, but behind it is not the "wooden box" of the past, but it has become an iron structure, and the door curtain in front has also become a small door open beside it.

Open the oil paper umbrella and look at the steel factory in the misty rain ahead. As a place to store a large number of corpses, the charity village will naturally not be built in a residential area.

Before Lu Jiu came, he had read the map of Changyi County, and naturally knew that behind the Liushun factory in Chengnan was the location of the Yizhuang.

In my ears was the noise coming from the factory. Lu Jiu passed through an alley full of wide and long metal pipes. In front of him was an undeveloped wasteland. A farm with black tiles and white walls stood in it, surrounded by shrubs and weeds, which was incompatible with the tall factory buildings around.

Dongdongdongdongdong~

Walking on the stone path made of fragments and pieces, he walked to the door and knocked on the village door.

“What’s the point?”

Not long after, a greeting came from the door.

"The one who claimed the body!"

Lu Jiu is here to claim himself.

The village door opened, and an old man with gray hair and hunched body looked up at Lu Jiu, who was still wearing a black gauze hat, and let him go.

Except for the main entrance of the entire village, there are bungalows with closed windows and doors on the other three sides. When the old man closed the door again, it became a closed state on all sides. Even Lu Jiu felt depressed when facing this environment. He just thought it was a psychological reason and pursed his lips and waited for the old man to speak.

"There are many unclaimed corpses in the village now. If you want to find someone, you have to tell me the approximate time of death, gender, and appearance of the deceased."

The old man walked past Lu Jiu with his hands on his back and walked towards the bungalow opposite the gate.

"It was about seven days ago. The man was a young man and had a pretty handsome appearance."

Following the old man, he walked under the eaves at the door of the bungalow. Lu Jiu looked at the room where there was no light inside, thought for a while and said.

"Well, it's good that you're a young man. It's easy to find this kind of dead. Come with me and get a notebook that records the information of the corpse... You are not here to check out the heart-cutting ghost, right?"

The old man pushed open the door and suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked.

When Lu Jiu heard about this problem, he was also stunned. Could it be that someone had checked it before?

Lu Jiu's silence undoubtedly verified the old man's problem. The latter glanced at Lu Jiu sideways, and his stiff face pulled out a sinister smile. His seemingly dull body suddenly jumped forward and disappeared into the shadow in the room.
