Uncle San frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Director Ou, please don't mind if I ask you something a little inappropriate. But there's definitely no possibility of a wrongful conviction in this case, right?"

"Of course not. The murderer committed the crime during the day. There were several witnesses at the scene, including his wife. I've also investigated the deceased 's background. The couple ran a slaughterhouse, slaughtering livestock for farmers. They've been honest people their entire lives and never had any grudges against anyone. The criminal claims to be acting on behalf of justice. He can't be seeking revenge for the slaughtered animals, right?"

"Of course not." Uncle San walked back and forth a few steps before saying, "But there's one thing I must make clear beforehand. I'm not a wizard or a Taoist priest who helps people avoid misfortune and bring good luck. I'm a gravedigger. What does this have to do with gravediggering?"

"The deceased's family has been making a living by performing shaman dances since his grandfather 's generation. To be honest, if I hadn't gotten into trouble, I wouldn't have believed these stories. The criminal wasn't Han Chinese, so they could choose to be buried after the execution. At the time, a colleague also privately reminded me that it was best to find a way to send the body of such a prisoner to a crematorium, otherwise it might cause trouble once buried, but I didn't take it seriously."

Uncle San asked, "You mean the other family is using the burial method to trick you?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Logically, a police officer shouldn't believe such heresy, but my current symptoms are certainly not normal. Last Friday, I started feeling chest tightness, irritability, and weakness in my limbs again. If this continues, sooner or later, I'll end up living a life worse than death."

"I understand." Uncle San nodded.

"Master, I heard from Village Chief Hong that you are indeed very capable. Please help me. The reward and other things are easy to negotiate."

Uncle San waved his hand and said, "It's not about the money. The key is that you want to repair someone else's grave. Will the murderer's family agree to it?"

"This family spent all their money trying to exonerate the criminal. They're broke as hell. If someone offered to repair his grave, I think his family wouldn't refuse."

Uncle San laughed and said, "You want me to pretend to be a philanthropist?"

Chief Ou said, "I hope Master can help me with this. I've been a police officer for 30 years and have always been conscientious. I dare not make the slightest mistake. This is because I believe that God sees everything we do. I don't believe that punishing a sinner will bring me bad luck. I also don't believe in evil. So no matter what the cost, I will let him know that this kind of person, dead or alive, is just a mouse, and I will always be the cat catching him."

It seems that Director Ou is a person who hates evil and cannot even let go of dead criminals. In my opinion, although it is indeed a bit extreme, it is also a righteous act.

Uncle San nodded and said, "Director Ou's words make sense. I will do my best to solve the problem you are facing."

"Thank you for your help." He hesitated for a moment and then said, "This is my personal matter. I hope it won't be leaked out."

"Don't worry about that. The privacy of our customers is our top priority and we won't reveal a single word to anyone."

"How should the money be calculated? Should I give you a portion of the deposit now? Do we need to sign a contract?"

Uncle San waved his hand and said, "We don't have signed contracts in this business, and you don't need to pay a deposit. I can't guarantee that I'll take this job. I have to go to the site to see it before I can give you a definite answer."

"I totally understand. I'll write down the address for you." He then wrote a line on the notebook, tore off the paper and handed it to his uncle.

"His home is not close to us. I have to pay for the travel expenses."

He was about to take out the money when his uncle said, "Director Ou, what happened in the Yefengou case today? Can you tell me about it?"

"Oh, actually, I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't noticed someone stealing bodies from the mass grave , the dead woman's body might not have been discovered."

"There's one thing I don't quite understand. Since the woman's body had been stolen and sold, why was it dug out from the mass grave?" said Uncle San.

"The body snatcher was named Li He. Before the incident, he had accepted a ghost marriage arrangement and went into the underground tunnel to search for a body to use for the marriage . He accidentally found the victim's body. He actually knew that the person had been killed and the body was dumped there, but the people who resold the body were greedy for money, so he did not report the crime and sold the body."

"But not long after, he received a call from the victim, who asked Li He to return the money he paid for the body and to transport it away. The reason was that the elderly couple who had arranged a ghost marriage with his son after the female corpse was buried had both dreams in which their son cried in front of them, saying that his family had provoked a wronged spirit and that he was now in the underworld , freezing and unable to move. If the victim was not sent back, his family would never have peace."

"They didn't believe it at first, but after having the same dream several times in a row, they couldn't help but believe it. So they asked the villagers to open the grave and found that their son's body was completely frozen, even with a layer of white frost on the surface. The old couple was almost scared to death at the time."

"Since the female corpse was murdered, didn't the family notice anything unusual at the time? They actually arranged a ghost marriage for their son with someone who died suddenly ?" Uncle San frowned.

"That's why I say Li He is a bastard. He knew the woman had been murdered, and there was an obvious wound on her throat, yet he actually sewed it up with needle and thread and sold the body. Oh, and I forgot to mention one thing. After the grave was opened, his son's body was covered in a layer of white frost. Even though the woman's blood had been drained and the body had been cleaned, a large amount of blood gushed out from nowhere, soaking the shroud she was wearing into a red color."

"Li He knew he had violated a taboo, but still held onto a glimmer of hope, so he carried the body back to the wild grave ditch. He ended up getting lost in the cave and couldn't find the exit. He eventually found a spot with loose soil and dug online, finally escaping through an empty coffin ."

"He said a crooked-necked woman in red blew air into his ear. Do you think this was just a hallucination caused by his guilty conscience?"

Director Ou shook his head and said, "This isn't an illusion. When I saw him this morning, Li He's left ear and cheek area were completely black. His face had two different colors."

Hearing this, Uncle San said nothing more: "I still have some things to do over there. I will start your matter in Lima after I finish the things on hand."

"Okay, please." After saying that, Director Ou got in the car and left.

After getting in the car, Uncle San said to us, "The money Li He earns is also a kind of life-threatening money. Sometimes it's easy to get money, but it's hard to give it away."

I asked, "Uncle San, since Li He has provoked the evil spirit, what will be his fate?"

"It's hard to say, but what's certain is that at best, they'll squander their wealth and suffer bad luck, and at worst, they'll even face a bloody disaster. They're so obsessed with money that they'd even dare to sell the bodies of people who died suddenly. They're simply insane."

On the way, we decided on the next action plan. We would first send You Qing back to Shanghai. Chu Sen insisted on going with us to see how Niu Lin's grave was moved. Of course, I also wanted to know the whole process. Uncle San said, "Are you two not doing business anymore?"

Chu Sen said, " Dad never lets me get involved in the family business. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."

I was a little worried because I had a fight with Li Zhao. Although the main reason was You Qing, our relationship had not been repaired after all, so it was still unknown whether I could rely on him for the business.

Seeing my hesitation, Chu Sen said, "Don't think too much. Just come with me. At worst, I'll give you a subsidy when we come back."

"Why should I need your subsidies for my own business?"

"We are brothers, so just follow me. If you don't go, how can I go?"

I really wanted to go, so I stopped thinking about the decoration company and returned to Longhua Village with my family.

Since time was running out, we prepared and rushed to Dangxiang. There were not many people this time. Apart from the two of us who were there to watch the fun, there were only Luo Tianbao, my third uncle and my seventh uncle.

On the way, I asked, "Uncle San, this trip is easier than the last one, right?"

Uncle San said, "Of course it is. Burying Luo Jingfeng was a huge event, and Niu Lin is just moving the grave."

Uncle Qi thought for a moment and said, "Third brother, when I looked down with my Earth Spirit Eyes, I seemed to see a black-shelled turtle lying next to Niu Lin's head."
