From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 554 The Grave Bag Is Empty
"These babies are all buried, so I don't know where to find them?"

Henry Zhang said that he was going to see the dead baby, and Captain Yang made a difficult case. Where would he dare to stay for such a horrible death, he would find a place where no one could find him and bury him overnight.

These days, a dead baby is a symbol of bad luck, and such a state of death is even more of a disaster in people's mouths.

Under such a limelight, no matter how reluctant the parents are, they can only bury it, and they must not reveal the slightest thing afterwards.

Henry Zhang glanced at Captain Yang, and said: "If you really die as you said, if you don't find out, you will become an evil thing, and more people will suffer."

When Captain Yang heard this, his face changed drastically. This matter is not settled, and if it happens again, his black hat may be lost.

Gritting his teeth, he said to the team members beside him: "Wang Hu, bring someone to find those midwives and ask them which ones are responsible, and find out where they are buried. Don't miss any of them."

"Yes, Captain."

The man saluted and responded, and was about to run out the door. Liu Hui also said at this time: "Butler Zhou, you can go too, and help Captain Yang to comfort those people."

Liu Hui is also well versed in human nature in doing business all year round. In addition to threats, he also has to be lured, so that he can get things done as quickly as possible.

After the subordinates left, Henry Zhang began to have morning tea, chatting with the two of them one after another.

It’s just different from Henry Zhang and Ren Fa.Liu Hui was really not in the mood to eat, so he could only talk absent-mindedly.

In fact, he also knew that with such a large population in Nanding City, there were also many pregnant women. Even if there were evil things, they might not just target his wife.

It's just that if you care about it, you will be chaotic. As a husband and soon-to-be father, there is no room for mistakes.

Fortunately, Captain Yang's subordinates and Steward Zhou acted very quickly this time, and they rushed back just after noon, panting and said to the crowd: "Captain, I have asked you clearly, there are [-] dead babies in total. Every burial place is recorded."

"it is good!"

Captain Yang applauded, then looked at Henry Zhang, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think we should do now?"

"Lead the way, let's go and have a look."

Everyone packed up their things, left Ren Fa, and followed Captain Yang's subordinate named Wang Hu and left the city.

Eighteen dead babies, ugly and evil.

It is impossible to bury such a corpse in the ancestral grave, for fear of harming the luck of the stranger and killing the whole family.

So generally speaking, dead babies are buried in mass graves or other remote places, so that no one will find out, come and go quietly, and pretend that the baby never existed.

Of course, there are also different customs in some places, hanging tree babies, nailing babies to the most conspicuous and weirdest trees, and hanging them for seven full days, so that their grievances will dissipate.

Henry Zhang has encountered this matter.

Of course, there are also many places where the burials are all buried. Once the mat is rolled up, it is thrown into the wilderness to be devoured by wild dogs.

The customs of Nanding City are not barbaric, and they all say that one can be buried in the ground, so the eighteen babies were buried at that time, at least it seemed that they were buried.

"Mr. Zhang, there are two under the old poplar tree not far ahead."

Wang Hu pointed to the old poplar tree not far in front, its branches and leaves were withered, its trunk was twisted, and it looked half dead.

Wang Hu led the crowd slowly approaching the poplar tree, and said as he walked, "That's the children of Li Si and Bai Coolie's family. They didn't want to part with their children, so they buried them in the old poplar tree by the roadside. Afterwards, the two can often still look at them."

Wang Hu took Henry Zhang and the others to the bottom of the old poplar tree, Wang Hu pointed to the location not far from the trunk, and said, "It's probably that place."

The two families were not buried together, but they were buried here by coincidence.

Henry Zhang and the others walked over, and when they saw an inconspicuous soil bag on the left and right, they knew it should be the two dead babies.

"Dig it out."

After Henry Zhang finished speaking, Wang Hu and several police members started digging the clods with the shovels and shovels they brought in their hands.

Because it was a baby, it shouldn't be buried very deep. They were all young and strong, so it didn't take much effort to dig it up.

But as I dug, things became weird. After digging nearly one meter deep, all I dug out was solid soil, but I still didn't see the baby.

Everyone's expressions became weird, and Captain Yang asked Wang Hu: "Isn't your memory wrong, kid?"

Wang Hu felt aggrieved and said, "The old poplar tree is only one foot away from the road, how could I remember it wrong?"

"Stop."

Suddenly Henry Zhang called everyone to stop, and he hadn’t seen him for a long time. If it wasn’t for Wang Hu’s misremembering, then something took the body away, or the baby’s body left by itself.

Henry Zhang looked at Wang Hu and asked, "Where are the rest of the babies buried?"

Wang Hu said: "Go back to Mr. Zhang, the rest of the babies were buried in the abandoned baby tower in the mass grave."

"Abandoned Baby Tower?!"

With the three words, everyone’s expressions changed, and Henry Zhang’s complexion was also extremely ugly. How could there be such a thing these days.

If you want to talk about this abandoned baby tower, as the name suggests, you know it is used for abandoned babies, but if you want to really talk about its origin, it will really make people shudder.

The babies abandoned in the Tower of Abandoned Babies are all living babies. One side of the stone tower is about ten feet high. The whole body of the stone tower is closed, leaving only a dark hole and nothing else around.

Those parents who gave birth to girls, those who didn't want to raise them, and those who had no money to raise them, all became ruthless and threw their babies into it.

Throwing it alive, the stone pagoda was sealed very well, they couldn't really hear the baby's cry, and their hearts were much harder.

Compared with drowning the baby alive, crying loudly and struggling desperately, such an approach is really "civilized".

But this thing is very evil, not to mention how babies starve to death, fall to death, cold to death, resentment, how terrifying it is to become evil spirits, let alone those wild dogs, cats and carnivorous beasts, rushing in, eating It is scary enough for a baby's heart, liver and flesh to become an evil thing.

This thing caused a lot of murders in the early years, and then it was gradually banned.

Henry Zhang didn’t expect that there would be such an abandoned baby tower here.

Captain Yang was also trembling. Obviously he had heard of the reputation of the abandoned baby tower, and he immediately asked: "Then that place has been sealed long ago? It has been sealed for more than ten years."

Wang Hu was also quite frightened by Captain Yang's appearance. He is young and has never heard of the weirdness of the abandoned baby tower. opened."

"Damn."

Captain Yang's face was extremely ugly, and he cursed: "The stone pagoda had something weird in its early years, so it was sealed up. They are really looking for death."

Captain Yang was in awe of these things, but he couldn't resist the ignorance of those ignorant villagers. He didn't know where he heard about the grievances of the babies in Abandoned Tower Town, so they couldn't follow them home, so he did this.

As for what evil happened in the abandoned baby tower, it has nothing to do with them.

Seeing this, Henry Zhang asked, "Where is the abandoned baby tower?"

Captain Yang did know the place this time, he said: "In the depths of the mass grave, that place has been sealed for a long time, and few people go there."

In places like Mass Burial Mounds, the further you go, the more people are buried, the more people are buried, and there is no place to bury people. Gradually, no one goes to the depths, and it is a good place to dump corpses.

In fact, this mass grave was formed slowly because it was close to the Tower of Abandoned Babies.

Captain Yang asked: "Mr. Zhang, what should we do now?"

"Let's go to the Tower of Abandoned Babies to have a look,"

Henry Zhang glanced at the two empty tomb bags, and said: "The tomb bags are empty, whether they left by themselves or were taken away with something, they must be checked out, and it is impossible not to go to the abandoned baby tower."
