If it were in the era before traveling, Lu Jinping would extract oral saliva swabs from his nephew and his son for comparison and testing. However, Lu Jinping's reagents in the forensic survey box are limited now and must be saved as much as possible and can only be used in the most critical places. In this case, the two have clearly stated that they did not spit in the tomb, and then go for forensic verification, which is mostly just confirmed and waste precious reagents in vain.

He did not plan to conduct DNA investigations on the people in the village, because rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. He originally thought that the possibility of robbing the tombs in the village was very small. Moreover, Luo Siye and Captain Xiong had arrested all the people who were likely to rob tombs in the village, including nearby villages, and some people even tortured and forced confessions, but they were unable to find the real tomb robbers. If they were to investigate the DNA method, the possibility of finding the tomb robbers was also very small. And solving the case must start with the greatest possibility.

But what is the biggest possibility? Lu Jinping has no idea yet.

Lu Jinping asked Luo Sifa and Captain Xiong, "Did you send people to relevant shops in Tongzhou to check if anyone sells the ceramic vessels stole from General Li's grandmother's grave?"

Luo Sifa nodded and said, "We have already thought of this method, so we sent people to stay there, but we didn't find these things."

Lu Jinping was a little disappointed. After working hard for a long time, the sun was gradually setting.

Li Cunzheng hurriedly said, "Two sirs, why don't we go back to the village for dinner first? The villain has prepared a banquet. Let's have a good rest after dinner. Let's continue to check tomorrow. How about it?"

Lu Jinping didn't think about how to carry out the next step. He investigated the work. He nodded when he heard him saying this and said, "It's good to do this, so take a break first."

So the group left Fenshan and entered the village and came to Licunzheng's house. There were no wealthy families in this village. Even the house in his village was not much better than ordinary farmhouses. But one advantage was that the place was large, the yard was very wide, and there were many houses inside.

When they entered the yard, they saw seven or eight peasant women killing chickens and ducks in a busy manner. When they saw Lu Jinping and Luo Sifa coming in in wearing official robes, they quickly got up and gave a blessing, looking very embarrassed.

Li Cunzheng introduced that these people were peasant women in the village. He heard that they were coming to help today. It was difficult for the lord and officials like Jue and Judicial to be seen in the village. Although there was a general Yunhui in their village, the general had basically never returned to his hometown, and few people in the village had seen him. What he saw during this period was Luo Siju who came to investigate the case. As for the fifth-rank Jue, it was even more rare. So on the one hand, these people were helped by the villagers, and on the other hand, they also wanted to come over to see what Jue looked like. After seeing it, he would tell people about the past.

Several gentry came out of the house, dressed very rustic and smiling, and welcomed Lu Jinping into the living room and chatted with him.

General Li's uncle also followed him to the main house of Li Village and served as a companion.

At this time, a villager hurried in outside and said a few words in his uncle's ear. His uncle's face suddenly changed.

His expression did not escape Lu Jinping's eyes. Lu Jinping said, "What happened to the old man?"

My uncle hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right. My nephew went to Zhang Xiaozi to tell Zhang Xiaozi about the matter of opening the stolen hole again and checking. Zhang Xiaozi stomped his feet and said that it shouldn't be opened at this time. Today is the most fierce day of this month. I'm afraid that evil will take the opportunity to enter the coffin, which will be miserable. Then Grandma Zhu won't be able to come back."

Lu Jinping was a little curious: "Grandma Zu can't come back, what does it mean?"

When the uncle heard this, he regretted that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but he had already said it for a while and didn't know how to hide it. After thinking about it, he said, "That's right, Blind Zhang said that General Li's grandmother was not stolen by someone, but she dug a hole and went to participate in the selection of a concubine in the Ghost King. She also brought all her burial objects and wanted to give gifts to the Ghost King."

Lu Jinping couldn't help laughing. This statement was of course wrong, because according to the inspection results, the coffin lid was obviously opened from the outside, rather than being strongly broken out of the coffin from inside. Therefore, the statement of Mr. Yin and Yang Zhang Xiaozi sounded like feudal superstition. However, he also knew that this so-called superstition was only those who have learned the Marxist-Leninist atheism view that modern people have such ideas. In ancient times, when theism dominated, the people easily believed this statement, so they did not refute it, asking: "What's the matter with the Ghost King choosing a concubine?"

"This is all said by Zhang Xiaozi. He said he had calculated that this year was a year. I can't remember it. It was said that the Ghost King would go to the ghost world to choose a concubine, and all the female ghosts in the world could run for the election."

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "General Li's grandmother is afraid that she will be over 100 years old and can she still participate in the selection of concubines?"

The uncle said, "This is what Zhang Jianzi said, and we don't know. He said that the ghosts on the earth are one day and one year, so no matter how old the ghosts on the earth are, they will not be too old in the sky. Besides, the ghost king is already ten thousand years old. These female ghosts on the earth are only a hundred years old, and they are very young for him. Therefore, they are considered old ladies, and they become young girls like flowers and jade when they arrive in the underworld. The ghost king will like it. I heard that General Li's grandmother was watery when she was young, and she wouldn't have married General Li's grandfather. Such a watery woman might have to take a fancy to the Ghost King, so Grandma went to participate. Moreover, she brought a lot of funeral objects to prepare for the judges and ghosts. That would be even more foolproof."

At this time, a fellow villager next to him smiled and said, "What Zhang said makes sense. People in their sixties, seventies and eighties cannot deceive people. I heard that these days they went to the underworld to participate in the selection of concubines by General Li's grandmother. There are also other villages, those who died suddenly, have they also gone?"

Lu Jinping said oh, saying, "Can there be some nearby tombs that were stolen and dug?"

"Yes, there are three places I know. At first, everyone was panicked and thought someone was robbing the tomb and stealing things. However, only one of the three families who were robbed were from good backgrounds, and the other two were ordinary people, so they dug a pit and buried the coffin, and there was no burial for them. Everyone was very surprised. Zhang Blind Man calculated it and found out that the Ghost King married a concubine, saying that this year was the year, and the Ghost King wanted to choose a concubine, so many female ghosts dug up the grave and went out to participate in the Ghost King's selection ceremony."

Lu Jinping said: "No, isn't ghosts illusory? They can come out of the grave freely, why do you need to dig a passage?"

Several squires looked at each other and smiled: "Sir, you are in the court, and you don't know much about the things in our mountains and rivers. The blind man said that in addition to ghosts, zombies can also run for election this time. Therefore, Grandma Zhu and others belong to the zombies, not ghosts."

Lu Jinping was stunned: "Aren't ghosts the same as zombies? Aren't zombies the ghosts?"

"Zombies are zombies, and ghosts are ghosts. Zhang Jianzi said it very clearly. He only knew that I couldn't say anything about it, but that's what he said. Otherwise, where would the corpse of the young wife and girl from these villages run away?"

Lu Jinping was too lazy to refute his Miao theory, but this was very important news. He immediately stood up and said, "Don't eat first, hurry to check the three robbed tombs."

Li Cunzheng hurriedly said, "Let's go after eating?"

"It's dark after eating, and then going. It's important to work, let's go."

The case was originally Luo Siye's business, and Lu Jinping was just here to help. He was so diligent and put official affairs first. Of course, Luo Siye was even more unwilling to say that he had to eat first, although his stomach was so hungry that he was rumbling. Besides, if the case was not solved for a day, he stood up and said, "Let's go now, and lead the way."
