“Your comrade Chu is truly an expert.
I accompanied him all the way to Li Cheng Uk Village.
There is an ancient tomb in that village which was discovered in 1955. It is said to be from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Everything inside has been cleared out, leaving only a pit.
The elders in the village said that this was the tomb of their ancestors and it could not be left like this, so they raised funds to build a grave mound and seal it off.
When we discovered it, there was a gap in the bricks used to build the tomb.
Comrade Chu went in and found seven fresh bodies inside.
The death conditions of those corpses were the same as those of the previous dead people, they were all drained of blood.
The police have already checked and found that they are all villagers nearby..."
Huasheng introduced with a frown.
Xie Wan said: "The bodies you found before were all individual. This time they were found in a large group, which means that the person is nearby."
Huasheng nodded, “Yes, the entire village is under police control.
We interrogated the villagers and learned that a few months ago, Zheng Song, the son of a local landlord, picked up a northern girl from outside.
Zheng Song already had a wife, but seeing how pretty this northern girl was, he decided to divorce his wife and marry her.
There was a huge quarrel in their family, but Zheng Song protected the northern girl like a possessed man.
Later, his wife returned to her parents' home, and Beigu moved into the Zheng family openly.
The strangest thing about that northern girl was that when she first came, everyone thought she was a mute and couldn't speak.
But the Zheng family's servant said that suddenly one day, this Beigu could speak, which scared the servant.
Among the seven people who died, three were from the Zheng family.
When we went to search Zheng's house, both Beigu and Zheng Song were gone."
Huasheng took out a photo and pointed at a person in it and said, "This photo was taken accidentally by a villager. They said that the back view is that of the northern girl."
This is a photo taken when the villagers were holding a banquet. In the corner, there is a woman's back. She has wavy hair, a slim figure, and is wearing a cheongsam.
Although this dress was very different from the impression of Shi Yu, Xie Wan immediately recognized that this woman was Shi Yu.
A person who was completely disabled could actually recover as before. This is definitely not something that medicine can achieve.
Xie Wan became even more certain that Shi Yu must have practiced some evil magic.
Xie Wan asked: "Did Chu Ganlin disappear while tracking this woman?"
Hua Sheng shook his head: "I don't know. After seeing the photos, your comrade Chu kept wandering around that cemetery. He seemed to be looking for something, so I didn't bother him. I just told the police who were blocking that area to listen to him and help him if he needed any help."
Huasheng explained embarrassedly that he was very busy and couldn't stay staring at that place all the time.
Neither Xie Wan nor Chu Jiangnan said anything.
Hua Sheng continued: “My colleagues over there said that the day before yesterday, Comrade Chu bought some strange things from the villagers and went into the ancient tomb again.
He clearly saw someone go in, but after waiting for a whole day, no one came out.
After I found out, I bravely went in and looked around, but Comrade Chu was not there.
There is no trace of him till now.”
When they arrived at the place, Xie Wan saw the ancient tomb.
In appearance, it was no different from the large brick tombs she had seen in later generations.
After all, the part above ground was added later by the villagers, which is understandable.
Huasheng asked the young policeman to explain the situation to Xie Wan and Chu Jiangnan again, and there was not much difference between what Huasheng said.
Xie Wan asked: "What did Comrade Chu buy in the village?"
The young policeman said: "He bought a black dog and had it killed and bled. He used a military kettle to collect a lot of the black dog's blood, but he didn't even want the dog meat.
I also bought a bag of glutinous rice.
There were also some paper money, paper figures and other things that were brought into the tomb.”
Although Xie Wan didn't understand the investigation methods of Chu Ganlin and his 749th Bureau, she had read many tomb-robbing novels in her previous life. Why did it sound like Chu Ganlin didn't want to arrest anyone, but rather wanted to rob a tomb?
Xie Wan didn't know how to explain, so he pointed to the hole in the package and said, "I'm going in now, do you want to follow me?"
Chu Jiangnan said: "Inspector Hua, please wait for us outside. If anything unexpected happens, please help contact our Special Administrative Office to inform us of the situation."
Huasheng also wanted to go in, but considering the possibility of a contingency, he agreed.
After Xie Wan entered the package, he shone a flashlight around him. The space was small and there was a faint stench of corpse.
Thinking about the seven bodies that were thrown here before, I couldn't help but get goose bumps.
Although there was only light from a flashlight, the space was really small and you could tell at a glance that there was no one inside.
Just when Xie Wan thought that Chu Ganlin might have left on his own when the policeman wasn't paying attention and had nothing to do with this ancient tomb, Chu Jiangnan said, "My brother is underground."
Following Chu Jiangnan's finger, Xie Wan saw a string of symbols left on the wall, which were the common symbols used by special departments.
Xie Wan also learned this when he was working on special services.
The string of symbols was short, but translated it as: "The Dark Portal is underground."
There is an arrow next to the symbol text.
Chu Jiangnan began to grope along the arrow.
Xie Wan asked: "Didn't Huasheng say that this tomb was built later by the villagers?"
Chu Jiangnan said: "In 1955, which is more than 20 years ago, a large number of masters like you and my brother fled to Gangcheng.
Who knows if that Eastern Han tomb is a mysterious formation set up by a master?"
Xie Wan felt that there was some truth in it.
“Let alone more than 20 years ago, even a few years ago, we received news that a powerful master had appeared in Hong Kong City.
