Chapter 493: Ghost marriage?

Perhaps this person has not appeared in Han Xu's field of vision yet!

From the angel case to the skeleton case, all the suspected suspects have been checked one by one by Nancheng, and no one's DNA information matches those babies.

Then it is obvious that this person, like the mysterious Mr. Z, is hiding behind the scenes!

Before, Han Xu thought that Shen Lei would be involved, but he didn't expect that this guy was still quite fierce, and he didn't leave any small braids at all!

In fact, Han Xu has always had a question in his mind about this skeleton case!

Why are those girls pregnant?

Logically speaking, ordinary human trafficking seems to have nothing to do with the babies in their stomachs!

The main body of the trafficking should be those girls!

However, all six skeletons are pregnant without exception. Is it just a coincidence?

Don't say that Han Xu doesn't believe in coincidences at all. Even if there is a coincidence, it's six skeletons, not one or two, and it can't be explained by the word coincidence!

Could it be that the main body of the abduction is not those girls, but...

Han Xu thought of a possibility, but the explanation was not smooth in logic!

I have seen women being abducted to remote mountainous areas, but I have never heard of a child being taken along!

And it is an unborn baby!

Is there any region with such a unique custom? !

Mourning in the underworld? !

Han Xu unconsciously thought of a possibility, but quickly dismissed it.

Because marrying in the underworld refers to finding a spouse and arranging a marriage for the dead.

In ancient times, the Xia Kingdom worshipped gods and ghosts, so marriage and funerals were regarded as major events in life.

And some boys and girls died for some reason before they got married, and their families would think that if they did not marry them, their ghosts would not rest in peace and endanger their descendants.

So they would hold a marriage ceremony for the two dead people to make them husband and wife, which is the underworld marriage ceremony.

After the ceremony, their bones would be buried together in the hope of continuing their marriage in the next life.

This custom was actually recorded in the pre-Qin era, but the feudal ruling class was very indifferent to it. However, they still believed that this behavior not only wasted social financial and material resources, but also had no benefits. Therefore, various dynasties had banned this kind of ghost marriage many times.

"Zhou Li" clearly wrote, "It is forbidden to move the burial and marry the dead."

However, in the Song Dynasty, ghost marriage ushered in the most popular period.

Even in many poets' novels, it is mentioned that no matter whether men or women die before marriage, their parents and families will definitely ask matchmakers to arrange ghost marriages for them.

The process is all carried out in the normal order of marriage. The two people are given horoscopes and divination, and then ghost clothes are made. The wedding ceremony is held, and the couple is buried together after the ceremony.

But this kind of feudal dregs has never been heard of the woman being pregnant!

You know, if you arrange a ghost marriage, the woman has a posthumous child, which is no different from having a green grassland on her head.

So Han Xu quickly gave up this idea.

Because it is unlikely!

But maybe these girls are just the tip of the iceberg among the victims? !

Han Xu felt like he was falling into an ice cave when he thought of this!

Oh my goodness, if this is the case, then this case is really big!

It is possible to expose the truth!

But generally speaking, such a big case will definitely involve a lot of people. It is simply a fantasy to want to keep it secret!

If those young girls who turned into skeletons are only part of it, then how big is this iceberg? !

Han Xu felt that something was wrong the more he thought about it!

There are not too many people involved in this case, so it is unlikely that there is any big inside story!

It is useless to think too much!

Han Xu shook his confused head, got up and washed his face first to calm down.

Wei Lai woke up just in time. He just came out of the bedroom and saw Han Xu coming back with a happy smile on his face, like a flower.

Han Xu took out a small red fish and handed it to Wei Lai, "Go buy some fried dough sticks and soy milk, don't buy too much, there are only two of us, your brother Chengzi hasn't come back yet."

When Wei Lai heard that Chengzi hadn't come back, the smile on his little face suddenly disappeared by half, which shows that this guy usually has a much better relationship with Chengzi.

Han Xu sighed, "Go quickly, your brother Chengzi will be back in a few days."

Wei Lai nodded, wiped his face randomly, put on his shoes and went out.

After Han Xu finished washing, he returned to the sofa and looked at the clock. It was not yet seven o'clock in the morning!

This sleep actually only lasted less than four hours, plus yesterday's, haha, if it was in the past, the body would have been unable to bear it!

It's really good to get a young body for nothing!

In just a few hours, he recovered his energy, and Han Xu was a little surprised!

That system with no sense of existence seemed to have only given a primary fighting skill, but it greatly improved the physical fitness!

It is said that the body is the capital!

Han Xu felt that although his current state was not at its peak, he still had no problem beating five oranges.

It was a pity that Orange was not here, otherwise he could practice!

Time passed quickly, and after a few minutes, Wei Lai came back with a bag of breakfast.

He bought four cups of soy milk, two for each person, and then scallion pancakes!

Enough for two people!

Han Xu didn't expect Wei Lai to know his preferences very well. He smiled and touched his messy hair, "Thank you, you know I like to eat scallion pancakes!"

Wei Lai was actually a little afraid of Han Xu. Seeing this, he didn't respond, but just quietly opened a cup of soy milk and drank it.

It didn't cost much to buy these breakfasts. Wei Lai folded the change neatly and put it on the side of the dining table.

Han Xu smiled and shook his head, "You can keep this money and buy snacks or something. And wait for your brother Chengzi to come back and ask him to take you to get your hair cut. It's too long!"

Wei Lai drank soy milk and nodded silently.

After the two finished breakfast, Han Xu told Wei Lai some trivial matters before going to work.

Coming out of the apartment building, he happened to meet Jiang Zigui, the lawyer, who was out for a morning run.

Han Xu had no choice but to go up and say hello, "Lawyer Jiang, you slept so late yesterday, how can you get up for a morning run today?"

Jiang Zigui replied with a smile, "I'm used to it. Once this habit is formed, it's hard to change! I wake up on time at that time every morning, and I can't change it even if I want to!"

Han Xu saw Jiang Zigui's high-spirited look, smiled and shook his head, "Lawyer Jiang is right, alas, it's better to be a boss, unlike us who have to go to work on time!"

Jiang Zigui seemed to hear something, but he didn't care, "I'm just a partner, it's not a matter of whether I'm a boss or not, it's good to have a dividend at the end of the year!"
