I got out of the car, approached the coffin, and examined it closely. There were almost no traces around it, just faint lines, as if it had been dragged or slipped off a vehicle.

About five minutes later, I saw the flashing lights of the approaching patrol. The car stopped a few meters away, and two officers got out.

— “What the hell do we have here?” — squinted one of them, inspecting the find.

— “It was standing right on the road, as if someone deliberately placed it,” — I replied.

The other officer walked around the coffin and tapped the lid with his knuckles.

— “Heavy… But something tells me there’s something inside.”
