It is said to be a mountain, but to be precise, it is just a small hill. Once you climb the hill, you can see graves with or without monuments everywhere on the hills.
There are scattered villagers standing in front of each tomb. The higher you go up, the more villagers there are.
"The top of the hill is the ancestral hall of our Chengnan Village. We all have the surname Yu. It used to be called Yujia Village. Later, some surrounding villages gradually merged into our Yujia Village, and the government changed our name to Chengnan Village. Although it was later merged
Yes, but most of us are one family." Walking up the mountain, the village chief's daughter-in-law introduced.
"What grade have you reached in school?" Jiang Zhuxuan asked.
"In the third year of high school, I didn't get admitted to college." A look of loneliness appeared in the eyes of the village chief's daughter-in-law, "The two villages in the north and south of our city have only produced two college students. The college student in our village died, and the one in the north suddenly became stupid.
"
"Oh... God doesn't want our two villages to have an easy time," the village chief's daughter-in-law said helplessly.
"Dead? How did he die?" Jiang Zhuxuan asked with a frown.
"To be precise, he was declared dead by the Imperial Court. He had disappeared for many years, and there was no one in his family. After a long time, the Law Enforcement Bureau reported the information to the Imperial Court and declared him dead."
Jiang Zhuxuan nodded when he heard this and did not continue to ask.
There are too many people missing in the empire every year, so it is normal for the Law Enforcement Bureau to do this.
The two of them followed the village chief's daughter-in-law to an ancestral hall, where people stood densely packed, and one by one they came forward to offer incense.
Not long after the village chief's daughter-in-law entered, a strong old man came out with the village chief's daughter-in-law.
"I'm sorry, you two law enforcement officers! I really have something to do, and I didn't know you two were coming!" As soon as the village chief arrived in front of Su Xia and Su Xia, he immediately bowed and apologized.
"Old man, it's not your problem." Jiang Zhuxuan raised his hand to help the village.
Su Xia looked at the surrounding villagers with numb eyes, but also fear of them.
Citizens fear law enforcement officers…
What an irony.
Jiang Zhuxuan told the village chief the purpose of their visit.
"There should be no strangers." The village chief thought seriously for a while, "Although our village has a large population, if there is one less person and one more person, word will spread quickly. The villagers are all familiar with each other. If there is a living person,
The face will tell me."
"Is that so? Thank you for your cooperation." Jiang Zhuxuan nodded and looked at Su Xia beside him, "Xu Chen, what do you think?"
Although she didn't think it was necessary to stay here anymore, Su Xia was also responsible for the task. Even if he was just an intern, Jiang Zhuxuan respected his ideas.
Su Xia stared at the grave in the distance, thinking deeply.
Jiang Zhuxun did not disturb Su Xia, and the village chief did not dare to say anything for fear of disturbing the law enforcement officer.
"Village chief, is it tradition for you to worship your ancestors these days?" Su Xia suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes. Our village uses the first ten days of March every year to worship our ancestors," the village chief replied quickly.
"Are there any graves here from seven to ten years ago?" Su Xia continued to ask.
"Yes, there are quite a few of them. They are all on the mountainside."
"What about the worship ceremony? Burning incense, sweeping the tomb, or other methods?" Su Xia asked again.
"Incense is burned in the ancestral hall. Like the tombs in Ancestor Mountain, each family brings offerings. Just sweep the tombs." The village chief told the truth.
"Let's go over and take a look." Su Xia said to Jiang Zhuxuan.
Jiang Zhuxuan was confused, but still nodded.
Under the leadership of the village chief, the two came to the mountainside. There were not many tombs here, only about a dozen. Most of them were clean and tidy. Only a few were overgrown with grass and there were no traces of tomb sweeping.
Su Xia glanced around and quickly locked onto the target with her mental strength.
He quickly came to two tombstones close together.
"The Tomb of My Father Yu Hu"
"The Tomb of My Mother Yu Shu"
"Did you find anything?" Jiang Zhuxuan and the village chief also came over, and Jiang Zhuxuan asked aloud.
"Village Chief, do you recognize this fruit?" Su Xia bent down and picked up the shriveled blue fruit and said to the village chief.
"I've never seen it before, but it looks expensive at first glance." The village chief shook his head and said.
"This is crystal orange, a seasonal fruit that costs 130 imperial coins per pound. The empire's per capita monthly income last year was 2,700 imperial coins. From an income perspective, crystal oranges are high-end fruits."
Jiang Zhuxuan also understood after hearing this.
"Isn't this fruit offered by the villagers?"
"Most likely not." Su Xia put down the crystal orange, "Village chief, do the owners of these two tombs have any relatives alive?"
"No more." The village chief shook his head and sighed, "Yu Hu and his wife passed away nine years ago. Their son disappeared within two years of their death. He is probably dead too. It's a pity.
Yu Hu and his wife left after their children finished college before they had time to enjoy their lives."
"The only college student in your village is their son?" Jiang Zhuxuan asked.
"Yes, his name is Yu Crow."
…
"Yu Ya, a native of Chengnan Village, Songjiang City, had excellent grades since childhood, and was even admitted to the Law Department of Songjiang University with excellent results. At that time, the villagers of Yujia Village were kind and generous, and the whole village chipped in to help Yu Ya go to college."
“Seventeen years ago, Yu Ya founded Songhe Law Firm after graduating from the Law Department of Songjiang University. With his excellent defense skills and the contacts accumulated in the Songjiang University Law Department, Songhe Law Firm developed into a
After becoming famous in a first-class law firm, Yu Ya returned to his hometown of Chengnan Village, preparing to take his parents to the city to spend their remaining years."
"Nine years ago, Yu Ya returned to Chengnan Village. His parents had passed away. The cause of death was registered by the Law Enforcement Bureau as a car accident."
The sound of dawn echoed in the Liudaosi car at the village head.
"After investigation, the actual cause of death of Yu Ya's parents was the aftermath of the fight between Song Ke, the current CEO of the Chow Chow Group, and his death as a second-level spiritual master, and Weiss, the current security director of the Chow Chow Group."
"Song Ke forged the scene of the car accident, bribed the forensic doctor of the Law Enforcement Bureau to conduct an injury assessment of the car accident, and finally concluded the case as accidental death."
"In the next two years, Yu Ya went to the Six Daosi Division, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Imperial Court, and the Ministry of Punishment to accuse Song Ke, but ultimately to no avail."
"Seven years ago, Yu Ya disappeared. The last place he appeared before his disappearance was on the Shalan planet where a large-scale blood sacrifice by the Star Chasing Society had just broken out."
The sound of dawn gradually faded.
"Seven years ago, Gus joined the Star Chasing Club." Jiang Zhuxuan looked at Su Xia with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Such tiny details were noticed by him.
From the time when Gus appeared, he was keenly aware that it coincided with the time when Chengnan Village offered sacrifices to his ancestors, and then he noticed the luxury seasonal fruit of crystal orange.
This observation ability is quite outstanding.
"Through comparison in the blood bank, Gus's blood is 99% similar to Yu Ya's blood. It is basically certain that Gus and Yu Ya are the same person."
