Along the way, Su Jun kept silent. I didn't know what he was thinking. As we reached, then he told the police to follow him, to find the body of Shi Xiaodie.

It looked like the experience of last night impressed Su Jun deeply. Without taking any detour, he found out the destination directly.

The police who went to the village to investigate further information had already set off.

“Captain Su got it."

Just when I finished smoking a cigarette, a police officer came over to report it.

Su Jun did not respond to the policeman but he turned back to look at me.

I nodded and said, "Let’s go."

Su Jun just took the lead.

The first to be dug out was a black coffin, and beside the coffin, the police were digging the skeleton of Shi Xiaodie.

Su Jun took a deep breath before they opened the coffin.

Without any accident, it was Zheng Chen lying inside the coffin.

Zheng Chen's face was still scrawny, even the eyeballs was dried and sunk deeply. The whole person was like a dry corpse without any water.

But on Zheng Chen's face, there was a strange smile.

Su Jun faintly waved: "Take it away."

Several forensic doctors who were fully protected immediately went down, prepared to lift the body. At this moment, I saw something in the back of Zheng Chen’s head reflected sunlight.

"Wait a minute, what's behind Zheng Chen's head?"

Several forensic doctors took a look at me and immediately turned to Su Jun, they stayed there still.

Su Jun looked at me with a puzzled look and told the forensic doctors: "You take a check."

Several forensic doctors squatted and looked carefully for a long time: "It seems to be fragments of something."

This time I did not have to command them, Su Jun let the forensic sorted out the fragments.

The fragments were piled up a little, I put on the gloves handed by the forensics doctors, and slowly pieced the fragments together.

"It is a three-legged gold toad, "old man Zhang shouted.

I nodded, although only a small part of it was appeared, it could be seen that this was a carving of a three-legged gold toad. I had not yet recognized the material.

Su Jun squatted beside me and asked: "Is it useful?"

I nodded and then Su Jun called a police officer and let him keep it well.

Everything seemed to be going well. But after digging for a long time. We failed to find the skeleton of Shi Xiaodie in where it should be.

A policeman wiped his sweat and asked, "Captain Su, shall we go on digging?"

Su Jun looked to me and I looked at the deep pit as high as a person, then shook my head.

"No need."

"The phantasmagoria that appeared last night was Zheng Chen's, which shows that Shi Xiaodie is buried here, but now it was gone. It is estimated that Zheng Chen did not know about it."

Su Jun looked at the dirt that had just been dug out "But they buried it together last night. The soil is so strong that it is not like it was dug just now."

I shook my head. The whole thing seemed to have a person behind controlling. This guy, let alone we haven't found it yet. It was estimated that Zheng Chen did not know, but who would be this person?

I turned my eyes to the earth that was dug up.

"Hey, what's that?"

"What?"

I pointed to a small piece of wood in the soil. A forensic doctor who was about to climb out of the pit picked it up and took a look at it. "It's like a bamboo strip used to make a mat."

A bamboo mat, Su Jun and I looked at each other. Then I heard Su Jun said: "someone went to the village and ask where the woman whose surname Zhang was buried."

Old man Zhang came and said, “Master, why does Zheng Chen want to exchange the tomb of the woman surnamed Zhang and Shi Xiaodie’s? Is there any special reason?”

"Of course, but we haven't found it out yet."

Things seem to be obscured by a layer of fog, so that we could only see the shadow vaguely, but we cannot connect all the things in the fog.

When Su Jun went to work, I took old man Zhang to start studying the difference between the two tombs. Their tombs were exchanged, the greatest possibility was that there was something special in the burial place. For example, Yin Qi was heavy, and it was suitable for keeping corpses, or any other reason like that.

After a lap of discussing, old man Zhang and I didn't find any clues, but it couldn't say that there was no gain. At lest, Shi Xiaodie’s tomb was slightly better, and there was less geomantic omen advantage in the tomb of the woman surnamed Zhang. It was more like a casual place.

I didn't study geomantic omen, but I listened to old man Zhang said that this difference had no effect basically.

" Master, Captain Su asked you to go over." A policeman was sent by Su Jun to call us.

I went over with old man Zhang.

Currently, Su Jun was in a bad mood. He sat aside smoking. Seeing us, he threw away his cigarette butts: "We got a little information, but my colleagues said that people in the village are not cooperating with our work. It seemed that they had communicated with each other before."

"First tell us what you have found."

Su Jun nodded and told us little by little.

Shi Xiaodie and Zheng Chen were classmate with each other both in middle school and senior high school. Later, Zheng Chen entered university, and Shi Xiaodie went to work outside in a city. However, the connection between them didn’t cut off.

Most of the villagers thought that two people would be a couple.

In the junior year, Zhang Chen went home for the spring festival. He met Shi Xiaodie by chance. They totally fell out with each other, but no one knew the reason. Zheng Chen returned to university before the end of spring festival.

However, Shi Xiaodie did not leave, and she left until a long time form the end of spring festival. She never returned after her left.

Zheng Chen was married after graduating from university. His wife was Zhou Yan from the same village.

It seemed that Zheng Chen and Shi Xiaodie did not contact with each other, but according to one villager, in the night before Zheng Chen got married, he saw two people, Shi Xiaodie and Zheng Chen argued in back hill. And soon Shi Xiaodie died on the way back because of illness.

Obviously, she had already came back. How could she die on her way back? Was it a ghost who came back?

As expected, he got only a little information. I watched Su Jun, and he smiled embarrassingly and gave a glimpse at the police officer who gathered information.

"Did Zheng Chen kill Shi Xiaodie?"

"Is the time coincided?"

The policeman shook his head: “Almost all the people in the village are not clear about the time. It is strange. It is reasonable to say that marriage is not a trivial event. How could none of them remember that specific time?”

Things were getting more and more strange. I couldn’t find a clue. I asked straightforward: "What about the woman who was surnamed Zhang?"

“The woman’s information is even little. We only know that she was bought back as a wife. Then she was abandoned by others, so she became a beggar in the village. She seemed to have intimate relationship with a lot of men. As for further information we failed to get it.”

"What about the man who bought her?"

Su Jun looked dejected: "I am looking for him. We've heard that he had gone out for work. I haven't heard any news yet."
