Ergou took out a candle from the drawer and lit it with a match. The light flashed and he saw a young man's indifferent eyes and a rather handsome face.
"You...you are a tomb robber?" Ergou asked him while suppressing his stutter.
"No." The man said, expressionless.
"Not a grave robber? No, not a grave robber, you, you, why did you dig up my grandma's grave?" Ergou said, nodding fiercely.
Ergou is Jiang Xiaowen's younger brother, a local. Ever since his sister caught this shameless tomb robber, he has no intention of giving this kid a good look, even though the old boss next door said that her grandma had a drought in her belly.
, but he never believed it. Even if there was a drought in her grandma's belly, so what? Her grandma was still his grandma, and no outsiders were allowed to touch her!
He decided that if this kid doesn't pay a thousand and eight hundred dollars in compensation today, he won't let her go, even if her sister asks him for her life! He won't let her go!
"I'm asking you a question! Why did you dig my grandma's grave?" Seeing that the other party did not agree, Ergou slapped his big paw on the table again.
The other party was leaning on the chair that had been handed down for who knows how many years, holding the handcuffs and looking out the window with a smile, as if he hadn't heard what he was hearing.
"Er Gou, let him go!" Footsteps were heard outside the door, and an old man shouted before anyone entered the house.
"Dad! Don't let me go! She dug my grandma's grave!" Ergou said, standing up suddenly, and when he turned around, the old man slapped him on the forehead: "Stop talking nonsense! Didn't you see it's raining outside?
!? This is our savior! Why are you still crooking your neck? Open the handcuffs quickly!"
As the old man spoke, he shook his arm fiercely, but the two dogs refused to accept it. He turned his neck and said in a low voice: "I don't have the key! I can't open it! If you want to open it, go to my sister!"
"Tsk! This kid! How can you talk?! Are you going to deal with your father like this?" The old man said, pretending to hit him, but as soon as he raised his hand, someone grabbed him and waited until he turned around with a surprised look on his face.
, the young man wearing a sweatshirt had already taken off his handcuffs and placed them on the table in front of him.
"Now that I've found out, I should be able to go." The young man said, turned around, picked up the backpack placed in the corner, put it on his back, and opened the door without looking back.
It was pouring rain outside, and countless raindrops were falling densely. It seemed that the rain would not stop for a while. Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but frown slightly. At this moment, the old man who came in a hurry fell down.
Give him a cup of hot water: "Okay, okay, young man, I just
The old man misunderstood you. It's raining heavily outside and you can't go out for a while. If you don't mind, just stay here for one night!" the other party said, grinning broadly.
After a moment, the young man looked back at him, nodded slightly and did not refuse.
In fact, he knew very well that these villagers did not trust him, and there was a reason why they did not want him to leave so soon. After all, digging up someone's ancestral graves was an unethical act that would cost them a thousand cuts, but this young man
We also know that some things cannot be moved.
While he was standing in front of the window, Jiang Xiaowen was not idle either. The young policewoman who had just graduated from the police academy was sitting in the duty room with her little face wrinkled, staring at the window, motionless.
The elder sister who acted as a forensic doctor told her that the corpse of her long-dead relative had indeed changed. It had been decades and the corpse was still not rotten. Anyone who told her about it would be suspicious. Besides, when she arrived,
At the scene, she also confirmed that the corpse
I saw that my great-grandmother’s head was chopped off. No matter how far she got out, the long fangs and shiny blue-black claws were exposed. I still remember it. It was definitely not a human being, but
, and it’s not the same as the zombies on TV.
More importantly, she found that there was a big hole in the belly of the corpse. It seemed that something had drilled out of the body of the corpse. Even the coffin board was broken. But until now, she has not found the one who escaped.
What was the thing that came out? She suspected that the thing inside was hidden by the man in the sweatshirt. Who else could do such an immoral thing besides him!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaowen pouted in frustration. She was thinking, how could a very handsome young man be a tomb robber?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" She was sitting by the window thinking, when an old policeman holding half an apple patted her with the folder in his hand.
"Master, tell me, has my great-grandmother really turned into a zombie?" Jiang Xiaowen, lying on the table with a depressed look on her face, looked at the old detective who was about to retire with great confusion.
"Do you think there are really zombies in this world?" the old detective said with a playful smile.
Jiang Xiaowen blushed when she saw this. She knew that the master was laughing at her. When she was in the police academy, the teacher said that those things about monsters and monsters could not be believed. Although this question came from the bottom of her heart at this moment,
But, if he asked it so directly, he would be laughed at by the master again... Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaowen was so embarrassed that she lay on the table and didn't want to see anyone.
"You don't have to do this. Who can say clearly about some things? I asked someone to check the file of your family member. It is blank. All information, including household registration information, is state secret. It seems that this person
He has a lot of background, I think we need to go and meet him, maybe there will be some unexpected gains." The old policeman said, put on his uniform with a silly smile, and just walked to the door, he saw an old man in a hurry.
ran in.
"Eh? What are you doing?" Seeing him panicking, Jiang Xiaowen asked him.
"I'm here to report a crime. I heard that Lu Li asked you to arrest him? Oh, you arrested the wrong person. He's not a tomb robber! He's the gentleman invited by our village!" The old man said, fiercely
The old policeman patted his thigh. Hearing this, the old policeman frowned slightly: "What did you say?"
"Oh, you are mistaken! He is really not a tomb robber, he is someone we paid to catch ghosts! Didn't you see, did it rain today!? There is a severe drought today, which has not happened for three months.
It’s raining, the old man in the village said, it’s raining all over the country, why doesn’t it just happen to us? It’s not a drought! We don’t have it either.
Knowing what Drought Demon is, he said no matter what, old gentleman, please think of a solution. But the old gentleman said that Drought Demon is a monster and he can't cure it. He has to ask an expert to come over. No, the expert will let you come as soon as he comes.
It's been detained! Xiaowen, Xiaowen, your Jiang Ergou is not a good thing, and something will happen sooner or later if this continues!"
The old man said, pointed at Jiang Xiaowen and grabbed the old policeman's wrist: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, come with me and let him go! Although we don't have much money, we are honest and do our duty, and we can't do things like repaying kindness with grievances."
