Chapter 275 Why did 274 go back the same way? (page 12)
"Isn't this... somewhat disrespectful to the deceased?"
Lloyd looked at this barren tomb like a mass grave, and for some reason, he felt a little scared.
Under the influence of various mysterious and extraordinary elements in this world, 'rising from the coffin' is not a joke, it will really happen!
Therefore, people in this world respect the concept of "the dead are the most important" more than those on the other side of the earth. Mass graves like this should theoretically not appear.
Especially in a small mountain village like this, where everyone is somewhat related to each other, there is no reason for a place like the cemetery to be so abandoned.
Besides, wasn't the original cause of this incident the trouble caused by the father digging his daughter's grave?
"According to the elders in the village, the young people have gone to work in the logging field, so there is no one to take care of it. Moreover, the suspect's dangerous behavior has made people less afraid to go near the cemetery. Those who usually work Every time, I would take the path over there.”
Investigator Jaxon explained the situation to Lloyd, and then pointed to another path separated by a few fields.
"What about the suspect's daughter's grave?"
Lloyd asked again.
"Over there, it's covered by weeds."
Another investigator pointed to a corner at the edge of the cemetery.
As expected, there is a tombstone there, and the surrounding areas are kept clean and there is no grass growing. It is just because of the perspective that it is obscured by the weeds on the surrounding graves.
And the soil around that tombstone does look relatively new, unlike the soil near other tombstones, which has been completely filled with dense weeds.
But although the tombstone itself looks relatively clean, the writing on it has been scratched out. The name, birth and death, and epitaph are all blurred and cannot be distinguished at all.
If we put aside the previous rumors, the situation that Lloyd saw in front of him was more like a father who only cared about cleaning his daughter's grave and ignored other neighbors', so that caused conflicts?
"Speaking of...well...although it may not be appropriate...but have you used inspiration or spiritual vision to look down there?"
Lloyd asked again cautiously.
In this era where 'the dead are the most important' is respected even more than on the other side of the earth, this kind of behavior of using extraordinary abilities to explore other people's graves is actually very taboo, and it is even more likely to encounter various accidents and dangers.
So that's what Lloyd asked. He didn't let go of his inspiration to activate his spiritual vision.
The expressions of the three members of the investigation team changed slightly. They looked unhappy, but they understood what Lloyd was thinking, so Investigator Jackson explained:
"Uh...well...it's true...it's not necessary yet, right? After all, our mission is to find and deal with the suspect."
Scholar Kandin also added:
"Generally speaking, we do not offend the deceased unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Well, I can understand that your work often involves these matters between life and death, and it is indeed a bit taboo... Of course, my usual executions and dissections are also the same, so I just asked casually."
Since no one was willing to commit a taboo, there was nothing to investigate in this mass grave. This temporary team immediately accelerated their pace and continued to rush to the lumber camp.
The four of them are very fast on their feet. Needless to say, Lloyd, who exercises every day, the three experienced investigators are even more energetic. Despite their age, they are all in their 40s, but they are not able to rush on the road at all. Slowly, the pace is almost like a trot.
After all, in their line of work, sometimes if they run too slowly, they have to open a banquet...
So the villagers had to walk an hour's mountain road, and under the feet of the four of them, they arrived at the logging camp in just over half an hour.
During the journey, Lloyd managed to keep up with the time and conducted two more fortune tellings. The [Omen] he interpreted still tended to be optimistic, and the direction still pointed towards the lumber camp.
This made him more confident in his judgment. The suspect must be hiding in this direction.
My [Divination] has never been missed.
Scholar Kandin could no longer complain about his childish divination techniques, and was too lazy to argue with Lloyd. He just muttered in a low voice:
"Today's young people really don't know how to respect the skill of divination..."
Compared with the quiet mountain village in front of me, this lumberyard is quite lively. There is the noise of machinery working everywhere. Workers wielding axes and saws can be seen everywhere, and there is also a lot of noise in the air. It's filled with the faint fragrance of that kind of wood.
At the other end of the lumberyard, there is a flat road, and a truck is loading. Looking along this road into the distance, you can see an advanced base under construction in the distance.
It's similar to the 'No. 22 Stronghold' that Lloyd visited before, but it's much smaller in scale. It should be just a supply depot and a transfer station, right?
No wonder a logging farm is illegally operated in this place. With this location and location, I would choose this place even if I were a capitalist.
Lloyd muttered to himself, raised his voice again, and asked about the three temporary teammates who were taking a break:
"Is the boss here here? Let's go and ask him first?"
"Probably not here. That guy is a decent tycoon with a lot of properties under his name. He can't stay in this damn place. This place has always been run and managed by a supervisor hired by him."
Investigator Jackson replied.
"That's okay. Have you rested? Let's go find the supervisor?"
"Haha, young man, you really need to be able to run away... Oh no, I mean your ability to run in a hurry, you are not as good as us old guys. Let's go, that guy's office is over there."
The three of them then went to the office area of the lumberyard - several small wooden cabins were tightly surrounded by various piles of raw materials, scraps, sawdust, finished products, etc., which seemed a bit too simple.
Moreover, the safety risks are quite high. Once the logs piled up like a hill fall off or collapse, someone may die.
On the contrary, the supervisor here was quite warm and polite, with a smile on his face. He even prepared coffee for Lloyd and the others, and patiently answered their various questions.
But the word 'construction period' is always mentioned in a subtle way, probably to urge the investigation team to resolve the incident as soon as possible.
Lloyd also asked a few questions, and the other party answered politely:
"He probably won't hide deep in the forest. Our operation has only been open not long ago. Currently, we are only mining the outer areas. No one is going deep into the forest. No one among the workers below has seen anyone moving inside."
"As for your second question, how did the outside world know about this incident? I think it came from the police station in Yorktown, right?
After all, we called the police first, but the police refused to arrest the guy due to lack of evidence, so our big boss had no choice but to invite a few of you strong men. "
The three-person investigation team had already asked the supervisor various questions before, so Lloyd couldn't find any more clues. He could only nod and said:
