Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.
Chapter 388: Is there a third possibility?
"Take a few men and dig up the grave."
"Qin Hanwu, the bodyguard captain, gave the order in a deep voice."
The bodyguard captain was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize why the advisor had told them to bring tools. It turned out they were there to dig up someone's grave.
Moreover, they were digging up the grave of the former head of the family.
Isn't this a joke?
Digging up other people's graves will bring retribution.
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so bodyguards involuntarily took a few steps back, a look of fear on their faces…
The bodyguard captain said with a sour face, "Master, you'll be punished for digging up graves."
Qin Hanwu angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? This is my elder brother's tomb. The strategist just told us that there is something unusual about my elder brother's tomb, so we need to open it to see what's going on."
Bodyguard Captain: "Master, opening a grave without permission is illegal. Why don't we call the police?"
Qin Hanwu angrily retorted, "Bullshit! I'm not robbing an ancient tomb, I'm just opening my own family's grave to verify some things. What law are you breaking?"
Qing Xuanzi was very experienced in handling such matters. He stepped forward and looked at the bodyguards, saying in a deep voice, "Each of you who helps open the tomb will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan. Anyone who refuses will be fired immediately and will never be allowed to appear in the capital area again. Otherwise, don't blame me, Qing Xuanzi, for being ruthless and merciless."
When the bodyguards heard that each person would receive a reward of 100,000 yuan, their faces lit up with surprise and joy, and they all turned to look at their captain.
These bodyguards usually earn only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month, so 100,000 yuan is equivalent to more than half a year's salary for them.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.
Qing Xuanzi knew that a great reward would surely attract brave warriors, so he directly offered 100,000 yuan per person, asking whether they were afraid of retribution or wanted the 100,000 yuan.
To be honest, the bodyguard captain was extremely unwilling to do such a despicable thing as digging up someone's grave.
But when he saw the eager, questioning looks from his brothers, he didn't know what else to say.
After all, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.
So the bodyguard captain said, "Brothers, are you all willing to do this?"
These days, there are plenty of people who would risk their lives for money. One of the bodyguards, a burly man, said in a deep voice, "As long as the boss pays the right amount, I don't care what kind of grave it is. Even if there are ghosts inside, I'll still dare to dig it up."
Qing Xuanzi took out his phone and said, "Whoever wants to do it can scan the code and transfer the money now. What's wrong with having 100,000 yuan in your hand? You can go to a nightclub and play with dozens of women. Besides, the people in the grave have been dead for more than 20 years. There are no ghosts there. They've long since turned into a pile of bones."
Without further ado, the bodyguard handed over his phone and said, "If the advisor dares to pay, I dare to do it. Once the money is in my account, I'll start digging."
"Ding-dong!"
Qing Xuanzi successfully transferred the money via QR code.
The bodyguard received a bank transfer notification, picked up his tools, and turned to walk towards Qin Hanwen's tomb...
When the other bodyguards saw that there really was 100,000 yuan, they all became envious and took out their phones to scan the QR code and transfer the money to Qing Xuanzi. After receiving the money, they took their tools and ran to dig up Qin Hanwen's grave.
Only the bodyguard captain didn't scan the QR code with his phone. He said to Qin Hanwu, "Boss, as your bodyguard captain, it's my duty to help you. Even taking a bullet for you is my responsibility. I would gladly face death to protect you without backing down. But I would never do something as immoral as digging up graves for money, because it's disrespectful to the dead. Everyone has their own principles. Please understand, boss."
The bodyguard captain is a retired special forces soldier who is always very principled and possesses excellent fighting skills. He once risked his life for Qin Hanwu's safety and made great contributions...
Qin Hanwu waved his hand with a gloomy face and didn't say anything.
Qing Xuanzi personally directed his bodyguards to dig up Qin Hanwen's grave. Because Qin Hanwen had not been cremated but secretly buried, they hastily bought a coffin and buried him there...
But the moment everyone worked together to open the coffin, everyone present was stunned.
Because the coffin was empty.
There were no bones inside, not even a single human hair; it was spotless and completely clean.
The dozen or so bodyguards immediately got angry.
Digging up graves is already immoral enough, and they were already feeling guilty, relying entirely on the 100,000 yuan they had to keep going. Now they've dug up an empty grave; this is just too fantastical.
The faces of the dozen or so bodyguards who had been digging the grave immediately changed. One of them muttered under his breath, "Damn, where's the dead person? Why is there nothing in the coffin?"
"This is unbelievable! Wasn't the former head of the family buried here? How come there's not a single bone here?"
"Hey, look, there are still traces of dried blood on the coffin over there. Could it have been looted?"
"Damn it, brothers, are we going to get our comeuppance?"
Qin Hanwu stared at the empty coffin, his face so dark it seemed to drip water. His sinister gaze fell on Qing Xuanzi, and he coldly asked, "What happened here?"
"Where are my elder brother's remains?"
Since Qing Xuanzi was in charge of burying Qin Hanwen that rainy night, and there was no one in the coffin now, people naturally had to ask Qing Xuanzi.
Qing Xuanzi was also completely baffled; he had no idea where Qin Hanwen's remains had gone.
Although he noticed something unusual in the divination, he never imagined that Qin Hanwen's body would disappear without a trace...
He still clearly remembers that rainy night when he personally placed Qin Hanwen, who had already died without any signs of life, into a coffin and buried him here.
Qing Xuanzi immediately stepped forward to check...
Because he clearly remembered that he had specially ordered someone to buy more than a dozen ten-inch-long iron nails to nail the coffin lid tightly.
Qing Xuanzi carefully examined the coffin and found that more than a dozen large iron nails were missing. No wonder the bodyguard opened the coffin lid so easily earlier.
Qing Xuanzi said to the bodyguards, "Go and keep watch around the area. Don't let any unauthorized personnel get close."
"It's the advisor."
The bodyguards agreed and, led by their captain, dispersed around the area. The fact that they had dug up an empty grave was already creepy enough, but now they were all afraid of getting tainted by something bad.
Qing Xuanzi walked to Qin Hanwu's side and said, "Patriarch, there are only two possibilities for this phenomenon: either Qin Hanwen is not dead and has been rescued by someone else, or Qin Hanwen is dead and his remains have been taken away by someone else."
Qin Hanwu said coldly, "Isn't there a third possibility?"
Qing Xuanzi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Patriarch, what do you mean?"
Qin Hanwu said coldly, "Qin Hanwen faked his death and then escaped on his own."
Qing Xuanzi said with great certainty, "Patriarch, that's absolutely impossible. Not only did I examine Qin Hanwen, but Uncle Yu and Li Chaobing also examined him and confirmed that Qin Hanwen was dead."
"And the most important point is that I had people nail the coffin lid shut with more than a dozen ten-inch-long iron nails. Without external assistance, even if Qin Hanwen hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to open the coffin lid from inside without any tools. Moreover, once the coffin lid was closed, the air inside was scarce, and a person inside wouldn't last long before suffocating to death."
Qin Hanwen looked up and around, then said, "Have the grave restored to its original state. Tell these bodyguards to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to utter a single word will be killed without mercy."
