Chapter 104: Chapter 104: An Empty Tomb
And this person actually ca to dig up graves!
“Let’s dig up the grave. I want to see what secret is hidden inside,” Lin Caisang was not afraid at this point and said to Constable Wei.
Intuition told her that there might be a hidden secret in Third Young Master Gong’s grave, a secret that even Old Master Gong, his biological father, might not know about.
“Step aside.”
Ya Molian pulled her away, intending to help, but Lin Caisang directly grabbed his arm.
“Don’t go, let Constable Wei and his n handle this,” she said in a low voice by his side.
They were ordinary civilians, this kind of grave-digging was not sothing they should be involved in. If Old Master Gong found out and turned the tables, they wouldn’t be able to clear their nas even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
It was best to let Constable Wei and his n from the county governnt handle it.
Even if Old Master Gong wanted to make an issue out of it, he wouldn’t be able to.
“Hmm.”
Ya Molian nodded, raising his other hand to pat her hand.
…
Half an hour later, the freshly dug grave was dug up again. However, the officers stared at the empty, grave dug-up, their eyes showing confusion when they looked at each other.
“What… Constable Wei, this is an empty grave!” One of the officers couldn’t help exclaim in astonishnt.
“What?”
Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang pulled Ya Molian forward to look at the empty grave, her face darkened.
“How is it possible that it’s an empty grave? Could Third Young Master Gong not have died?” She glanced at Ya Molian.
Before he could say anything, she shook her head denying her guess. So many people had witnessed a man’s death, how could he possibly still be alive? Besides, this strange disease did cause death. Many people in Hongling Town had already died.
“He must have been moved before we got here,” Ya Molian said.
“Hmm?”
Lin Caisang was taken aback and turned her head towards Constable Wei and his n.
“Constable Wei, you guys co up first. Let
go down and take a look,” she said.
“Alright.”
Upon her words, Constable Wei and his n jumped out of the grave.
Ya Molian helped Lin Caisang down the grave. Almost imdiately, even without squatting down and checking, they could sll the stench, indicating that a body had been buried here.
“There’s still a putrid sll. It should have been moved not long ago. Wait a minute, I’m going to scrape so soil from here to take back.”
“I’ll do it.”
Ya Molian took the white cloth from her hand, squatted down and collected soil from three different locations, then helped her back to the surface.
“It seems that it’s ti to have a good talk with soone,” he said.
“Talking to soone? Who?” Constable Wei asked them.
“Whoever’s son it is, we find them,” Lin Caisang looked at him and said.
“This…”
Constrable Wei twitched his mouth corner, thinking it would be useless to find Old Master Gong.
“Miss Liu, Young Master, would it be useful to find Old Master Gong about this? Would he know about it? Digging up the corpse from their own family tomb, it doesn’t seem like sothing Old Master Gong would do.”
After all, everyone hoped for peace and safety for their family and considered their family graveyard as a place that could bring good fortune to the living.
Old Master Gong should be aware of this.
“Who said Old Master Gong knew about the digging?” Lin Caisang said with a faint smile.
“Constable Wei, it doesn’t matter whether he knew about the corpse being dug up or not. The key point is, to whom the corpse belonged. You have to understand, if this infected corpse is used by soone, it is very likely to cause a greater disaster in Qianlin County, or even in a larger place.”
