S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 4. Love Murderer: Chapter 14. The Graves

"How did this happen?" Zhan Zhao looked at the picture for a long time. Bai Yutang and Luo Tian were also stunned. If the person in the photo just looked like Zhang Ying, then it wouldn't be this shocking. However, they were exactly the same. Even the temperament was the same. The Zhang Ying they saw a few days ago felt almost no pain and could move freely after being shot several times. The Zhang Miaomiao in the picture from 30 years ago looked the same. The woman in the picture still had a faint beautiful smile on her face. Now, there was an unspeakable strangeness to it.

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhong and Xu Bao asked everyone.

"Um... Does Zhang Miaomiao and Xu Tian have a daughter?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The two brothers glanced at the old lady.

The old lady opened her eyes wide. She walked by and said, "Officer, I don't know. Ah Tian keeps telling me that he doesn't have kids. I... If he does, I have to meet them. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to die in peace."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and nodded. They were just asking casually.

Afterwards, everyone asked some questions regarding Zhang Miaomiao. However, it was so long ago that there were no specific clues. After that, they bid farewell to the granny, then split up. Ma Han and Luo Tian followed Xu Zhong to the wool factory, as some of the old workers were colleagues of Zhang Miaomiao. Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao followed Xu Bao to the brick factory, which was now gone and had become a cement factory. However, the main purpose was to see the grave where Zhang Miaomiao was bitten.

"Brother Tian used to be very filial." Xu Zhong said as he led Luo Tian and Ma Han in the direction of the wool factory. "I don't know why he left his mother for 10 years. Officers, what on earth did Brother Tian do? Did he do something against the law with that woman Zhang Miaomiao, so he committed suicide?"

Luo Tian and Ma Han looked at each other. Then, Ma Han asked, "didn't you ask Xu Tian what he did for 10 years?"

"I did." Xu Zhong frowned and said, "Brother Tian didn't tell us anything and told us not to ask."

Luo Tian and Ma Han looked at each other and thought it was strange that Xu Tian had caught the so-called zombie and could prove that the vampire was human. He could have explained the matter openly, so that he could prove to everyone that he and Zhang Miaomiao were filial. That way, they could stay in the village to take care of his mother. It was unknown why he was so secretive about it.

"Did you never find Xu Tian's ashes?" Luo Tian asked Xu Zhong.

"No." Xu Zhong shook his head and said, "all that was left was a belt and a necklace pendant. Granny bought an urn, put them inside and buried them together."

Luo Tian and Ma Han looked at each other and stopped at the same time.

Xu Zhong looked back at the two and asked, "what's the matter?"

"Um..." Ma Han thought for a moment and said, "it may be a little inappropriate... But we want to see those two things."

Xu Zhong frowned slightly and asked, "you mean, dig up Brother Tian's grave and take the things out?"

Luo Tian and Ma Han couldn't respond. It was the same everywhere. Digging up someone's grave was very rude.

"Officer, tell me, what on earth has Brother Tian done? Why did you come all the way to the country to ask about him? He's been dead for 10 years."

Luo Tian thought for a moment and said, "Xu Tian didn't actually do anything bad. On the contrary, in the 10 years since he disappeared, he has done a good deed and saved many people. As for what it is, when all the cases are solved, we will definitely tell you. We are actually investigating Zhang Miaomiao and the cause of Xu Tian's death."
