Bai Xiaozhou didn't expect her to make such a huge mistake. He blushed for a moment. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not seeing clearly."
"It's fine. Thanks to you, we can at least confirm that Chen Li was here." After saying that, Chi Jiao walked behind the old tombstone and checked the situation.
"Beitang Lie, come here." Chi Jiao seemed to have discovered something and waved for Beitang Lie to come over.
Beitang Lie was extremely unhappy, but he couldn't disobey her orders. He could only brace himself and go to her side to ask, "Boss, what's the matter?"
"Look at the marks on the ground." Chi Jiao pointed at the claw marks on the grave in front of her.
As it hadn't rained for a few days, the ground was dry and hard, and cracks had appeared on the grave.
Faint traces of digging could be seen on the grave mound. This person seemed to have wanted to dig out the grave, but the ground was too hard. He even broke his fingernails and left a few bloody marks on the grave mound before giving up and leaving.
"This is a ghost handprint!" Bai Xiaozhou was shocked.
Beitang Lie shook his head. He appeared much calmer than Bai Xiaozhou and said, "This isn't a ghost handprint. It's man-made. If I'm not wrong, it should have been left behind by Chen Li."
"Left behind by Chen Li? Why would he dig a grave for no reason? " As Bai Xiaozhou spoke, he squatted down and hurriedly burned some paper money for the owner of the grave to comfort his spirit in heaven.
Chi Jiao looked at the marks on the grave and recalled that Chen Xuejun had mentioned that Chen Li was bloodthirsty and liked to eat raw meat.
Instantly, an extremely bad premonition appeared in Chi Jiao's heart.
"Xiaozhou, where do you live?" Chi Jiao asked.
Bai Xiaozhou was suddenly asked a question. He reacted for a moment before answering, "A few kilometers away from here."
"Then, is there anyone else nearby? Or a small village? "Chi Jiao asked again.
Bai Xiaozhou nodded obediently. "There's a small village at the end of the road called White Stone Village. There are a few hundred villagers in the village."
Beitang Lie seemed to understand what Chi Jiao wanted to ask. He also looked at Bai Xiaozhou and asked, "Then, do you know if the people in White Stone Village are cremated or buried?"
"This …" Bai Xiaozhou was a little hesitant. She thought about it and finally said, "Boss, you're not going to report it, are you? Old people in the countryside like us pay particular attention to being completely intact after being buried, so many people bury them in the ground. However, the corpses were all buried in their own fields and didn't occupy other people's land … "
Now, there was a clear rule that the dead must be cremated.
However, many old people in the countryside minded it very much, so they would occasionally secretly bury their dead. However, the villagers all had a few acres of land. After the elderly died, they would be buried in their own fields, so they wouldn't be a hindrance to others.
However, this kind of thing could not be exposed, and Bai Xiaozhou was forced to admit it.
"No wonder Chen Li walked all night and came to such a remote place. So it's because of this," Chi Jiao said thoughtfully.
Beitang Lie understood what Chi Jiao meant. His expression was a little ugly as his stomach churned. "Ugh … I can't take it anymore. Boss, are we thinking too much?"
"I hope I'm thinking too much," Chi Jiao said with a long sigh.
On the other hand, Bai Xiaozhou was confused. He tilted his head in confusion. "Boss, what kind of riddle are you guys playing? Why don't I understand what you mean? "
