Chapter 10 The Female Corpse in the Cemetery
Luo Fei hurriedly turned off the flashlight, dragged Xiaoman into the car, and closed the door.The two had just hid when a figure walked into the garage.

"Master Ma?" Xiaoman was a little nervous.

"It's just in time, let's take a ride." Luo Fei smiled.

"Ah?" Xiaoman was taken aback.

"Hush." ​​Luo Fei immediately lowered Xiaoman's head.

Ma Boyuan then drove the car out of the garage, and when he reached the door, Ma Boyuan honked the horn a few times.After a while, the old concierge came out.

"Master, where are you going in the middle of the night? Does the old lady know?"

"Stop rambling, go and open the door for me." Ma Boyuan looked impatient.

The old concierge had no choice but to open the iron gate.

Ma Boyuan kicked the accelerator and drove the car out of the horse house.

Ma Boyuan's car was driving on the road with an extremely nervous expression.Luo Fei and Xiaoman hid in the backseat, while observing secretly, without saying a word.

Xiaoman looked at Luo Fei and wanted to speak, but Luo Fei hurriedly stopped her.

In desperation, Xiaoman simply grabbed Luo Fei's hand.Luo Fei suddenly froze for a moment.

Xiaoman didn't care, and quickly wrote on Luo Fei's palm—where is he going?

Luo Fei nodded, took Xiaoman's hand, and began to write, who knew that he wrote the first stroke.Xiaoman couldn't help itching and burst out laughing.

In the front row, Ma Boyuan seemed to have heard something, and looked back in panic.Luo Fei quickly pushed Xiaoman into his arms.

Ma Bo looked back from a distance, and just about to take a closer look, the headlights behind him dazzled him so much that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and honked his whistle to urge him to go quickly.Under the bright light, Ma Boyuan didn't notice Luo Fei and Xiaoman, turned around in a panic, and stepped on the accelerator.Probably due to being too nervous, Ma Boyuan fiddled with the knob of the radio several times with trembling hands before turning on the radio.Immediately, the song "Night Shanghai" sounded again in the carriage.

Seeing that he was not found, Luo Fei wrote a few words in Xiaoman's palm again.

Xiaoman said silently in her heart: go see Mrs. Ma.

The car drove through the dark night until it stopped in front of a gloomy hill.

Xiaoman felt the car stopped, and immediately grabbed Luo Fei's handwriting and asked: Is this also in your plan?

Luo Fei nodded.

At this time, Ma Boyuan got out of the car, took out the shovel from the trunk and carried it on his shoulder, and walked towards the woods on the mountain with a kerosene lamp in hand.Luo Fei and Xiaoman followed cautiously.

"What is this place?" Xiaoman grabbed his collar and looked around.

"The cemetery." Luo Fei said firmly.

"What are you doing in the cemetery in the middle of the night?" Xiaoman couldn't help shivering when he heard the hooting of the owl.

"I'll know soon." Luo Fei said confidently.

The two of them followed Ma Boyuan all the way into the depths of the forest and came to the edge of several graves.

Ma Boyuan put down his shovel to catch his breath, turned on the kerosene lamp, and then began to plan one of the dirt bags.

"Is he crazy? Digging his father's grave?" Qin Xiaoman pointed at Ma Boyuan who was working very hard in surprise.

"He's not crazy. What he dug was not his father's grave, but his mother's, Mrs. Ma's." Luo Fei pointed to the grave where his concubine Zhou Yuezhen was engraved in red letters.

"Hole? Isn't Madam Ma alive and well?" Xiaoman was even more puzzled.

Luo Fei rubbed his chin and sighed: "I think Mrs. Ma was worried that her useless son would not bury her properly after her death, so she set up the cemetery in advance and left a hole."

"That's weird, what can be in the tomb? Could there be funerary objects? Maybe the one lying inside is the real Mrs. Ma, and the one outside is..." Xiaoman made a bold guess that scared herself too much to speak.

Luo Fei turned to look at Xiaoman: "It's very close, Mrs. Ma is indeed lying inside."

"No way, don't scare me, Mrs. Ma is still alive and well during the day." Xiaoman didn't expect Luo Fei to follow her own words.

Luo Fei tapped Xiaoman's head: "How stupid! When I say Mrs. Ma, I mean Ruan Mengzhu."

Due to the large range of movement, the surrounding bushes also shook. Ma Boyuan heard the sound, turned around and swung the shovel indiscriminately: "Who?! Who is there?!"

Luo Fei and Xiaoman looked at each other, so they got up and walked out from the bush where they were hiding.

"Master Ma, we meet again." Luo Fei bowed gentlemanly.

"You, why are you here?" Ma Boyuan looked flustered.

"Have you forgotten what I promised you during the day?" Luo Fei said meaningfully.

"What did you tell him during the day?" Xiaoman asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Ma has already told you with his actions." Luo Fei said and smiled at Ma Boyuan.

"If you listen to me, you will obediently lead us to find the burial place." Luo Fei pointed to the abandoned grave.

Xiaoman suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, he hid Mengzhu's body in Mrs. Ma's empty grave."

Luo Fei nodded towards Xiaoman: "There is progress."

After thinking about it, Xiaoman still felt puzzled and asked Luo Fei: "But I still don't understand, why not just bury it in my own garden?"

"It was indeed buried in the garden at the beginning, but later because of negligence, the body had to be moved again."

"What did you overlook?" Xiao Man, who just felt suddenly enlightened, fell into confusion again.

Luo Fei patted the satchel containing the bun: "Dog."

"A dog's sense of smell is a thousand times better than that of a human, so it will definitely smell the mistress's scent and try to dig out the corpse, so the mother came on stage." Luo Fei stood in the middle of the open space and opened his arms, "So Mrs. Ma helped you come up with a You and your mother came here to visit the grave three days ago."

"Three days ago was neither a festival like Qingming and Winter Solstice, nor your father's birthday and death anniversary. Sweeping your father's grave is just a cover. Your real purpose is to transfer the corpse to your mother's hole. No one would think of your mother-in-law. His daughter-in-law is actually buried in his grave." Luo Fei continued.

Ma Boyuan pointed at Luo Fei and denied it: "You, you, you are talking nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense? The evidence is in this grave, keep digging, don't stop." Luo Fei immediately made a gesture of please.

Ma Boyuan became angry with embarrassment: "You said those words to me during the day, you are blackmailing me, I fell for your tricks, I am so stupid, so stupid!"

"Actually, even if you don't fall for the trick, I can still find Mrs. Ma's body, but now that people get all the stolen goods, saving time and effort, isn't everyone happy? Detective Qin, you can arrest him now." Luo Fei returned to the station Behind Xiaoman.

"Ma Boyuan, follow me back to the patrol room." Qin Xiaoman said, walking towards Ma Boyuan.

"Don't come here, I didn't kill anyone, I won't go back with you! I don't want to go to jail!" Ma Boyuan yelled hysterically.

Xiaoman didn't hesitate, rushed forward, first kicked the shovel flying, and then knocked Ma Boyuan to the ground.Luo Fei applauded from the side: "Good skill!"

Xiaoman stepped forward to hold down Ma Boyuan, but when he was about to capture and subdue the enemy, he slowly let go and retreated.When Xiaoman retreated to Luo Fei's side, Luo Fei saw that Ma Boyuan was holding a gun in his hand!

"You have deduced everything, have you deduced that he is carrying a gun?" Qin Xiaoman raised his hand and complained.

Luo Fei also raised his hand as if joining in the fun, as if he didn't care about the current reversal of the situation: "Sorry, a wise man is always worried about a loss."

"Stand back, don't move, if you move again, I'll kill you!" Ma Boyuan waved his gun, pointing at Qin Xiaoman for a while, and Luo Fei for a while.

"It's manslaughter if you run Ruan Mengzhu to death, but it's murder to kill us both." Luo Fei looked at Ma Boyuan calmly.

"I don't want to kill people either, don't force me, let me go!" Ma Boyuan said, retreating to the path downhill.

"Where can you go if you run away now? The police will go to your house to search right away. I'm afraid that your drinking and meat friends will not take you in. Come back to the police room with us obediently. You are manslaughter, at most..."

"Seven or eight years at most." Xiaoman answered hastily.

Luo Fei pursed his lips, and cast a look of "willing to be inferior" to Qin Xiaoman.

"No, I don't want to go to jail, not even for a day!" Ma Boyuan continued to back away.

Xiaoman wanted to keep up, but Luo Fei suddenly grabbed her tightly.

"Don't follow, I will kill anyone who follows, I swear!"

Ma Boyuan then stumbled and ran into the dark mountain road behind him.When Xiaoman and Luo Fei chased after him, Ma Boyuan started the car and drove away.

"Hit his tires!" Qin Xiaoman poked Luo Fei's arm.

"Me?" Luo Fei looked blank.

"Don't you have a modified Colt M1911?" Xiaoman said anxiously.

"It's for experiments. I never carry a gun when I go out. As a detective, I rely on my brain to solve crimes." Luo Fei drew circles next to his temple.

"Then use your brain to make the car stop!" Xiaoman anxiously looked at the car going away, and really didn't want Ma Boyuan to just run away like that.

"Don't worry, with Mr. Ma's ability to survive, we can't escape the International Settlement. Let's go back and see Mrs. Ma." Luo Fei said with a smile.

The two returned to the cemetery, Xiaoman was digging the grave with the shovel dropped by Ma Boyuan, while Luo Fei watched from the side.

"You are a big man, just watch me dig by myself."

Luo Fei curled his lips: "Tsk tsk, that's what your feminism is like. You emphasize the equality of men and women when you fight for social status, and you emphasize gender differences when you work."

Xiaoman gave him a blank look, and continued digging for a while, when the excavated soil was wet and swampy, after a few more diggings, the shovel hit a hard object, and Xiaoman hurriedly stopped.

The two of them leaned forward and saw that it was a coffin lid.

"Mrs. Ma, I've missed you for a long time." Luo Fei bowed towards the coffin lid.

Xiao Man curled her lips and muttered: "Pretending, hypocrisy."

Then, the two worked together to open the coffin.When the flashlight shone on the corpse inside the coffin, both of them were almost taken aback.

Inside the coffin was a highly decomposed headless female corpse!

"What a tragic car accident." Luo Fei frowned, as if he felt something was wrong.

"We found the body, what should we do now?" Xiao Man pinched his waist and showed embarrassment.

"Call and ask the patrol room to send someone over to respond." Luo Fei said lightly.

Xiaoman looked helpless: "There is no phone in the wilderness."

At this time, there was a strange cry of an owl from the depths of the hill, and the two stood among a pile of tombstones, looking at each other.
