bai xiaozhou did not expect her to make such a huge mistake and blushed. ” “i’m sorry, i didn’t see it clearly.”
” i’m fine. thanks to you, we can at least confirm that chen li was here. ” after chi jiao finished speaking, she walked to the back of the old tombstone and checked the situation.
“beitang lie, come here.” chi jiao seemed to have noticed something and beckoned beitang lie over.
beitang lie was extremely unwilling, but he couldn’t disobey chi jiao’s orders. he could only brace himself and ask chi jiao, ” “boss, what’s the matter?”
“look at the marks on the ground.” chi jiao pointed at the claw marks on the grave in front of her.
because it hadn’t rained for a few days, the ground was dry and hard, and cracks had appeared on the grave.
on the grave, there were some faint traces of people digging. this person seemed to want to dig up the grave, but the ground was too hard. he even broke his nails and left a few bloody marks on the grave before giving up.
“this is a ghostly handprint!” bai xiaozhou was shocked.
beitang lie shook his head. he appeared calmer than bai xiaozhou and said, ” ” this is not a ghost handprint. it’s man-made. if i’m not mistaken, it should be left behind by chen li. ”
“chen li left this behind? why would he dig up a grave for no reason?” as bai xiaozhou spoke, he knelt down and quickly burned some paper money for the owner of the tomb to comfort his soul in heaven.
chi jiao looked at the mark on the grave and thought of what chen xuejun had said about chen li’s bloodlust and liking to eat raw meat.
chi jiao suddenly had a bad feeling.
“xiaozhou, where do you live?” chi jiao asked.
bai xiaozhou was suddenly asked a question. he took a moment to react before he answered, ” “let’s meet a few kilometers away from here.”
“are there any other people around here? or a small village?” chi jiao asked again.
bai xiaozhou nodded obediently. ” there’s a small village at the end of the road. it’s called white stone village. there are a few hundred villagers in the village. ”
beitang lie seemed to understand what chi jiao wanted to ask. he also looked at bai xiaozhou and asked, ” “then do you know whether the people of white stone village are cremated or buried?”
” this ... ” bai xiaozhou was a little hesitant. after thinking for a while, she finally said, ” boss, you’re not thinking of reporting this, are you? ” old people like us in the countryside pay attention to the complete burial after entering the earth, so many families are buried. however, the bodies were all buried in their own fields, and they didn’t occupy anyone else’s land ...”
there was a rule that the dead must be cremated.
however, many elderly people in the countryside were very concerned about it, so they would occasionally carry out the burial directly in secret. however, people in the countryside had a few acres of land. after the old man died, he was buried in his own field, so he didn’t affect others.
however, this matter could not be exposed, and bai xiaozhou had no choice but to admit it.
” no wonder chen li would travel all night to this remote and backward place. it’s for this. ” chi jiao said with a thoughtful look.
beitang lie understood what chi jiao meant. his expression was a little ugly, and his stomach was churning.”ugh ... i can’t take it anymore. boss, are we overthinking?”
“i wish i was overthinking it.” chi jiao said with a long sigh.
bai xiaozhou, on the other hand, was confused. he tilted his head in confusion.”boss, what are you guys talking about? why can’t i understand what you’re saying?”
