"Actually, what we don't understand the most is that …" Pang Zhihui was still talking about his professional knowledge with relish. "We had no idea that the coffins were empty! There was nothing!
"For so many years, I have participated in the excavation of hanging coffins," he said, spreading out his hands. "Even if the body has decayed, there should be some remnants of teeth, hair, and so on. But … these seven coffins are empty. There is not even a little bit of corpse oil left. It is as if they have never been filled with anything!"
"Then could it be … that it was robbed?" Ran Tao asked, "Will such a good Seven Stars Hanging Coffin attract tomb robbers who will clean up the things inside? Well, that's true …" Unexpectedly, before he could finish his question, he denied it himself. "How can tomb robbers take away the bodies?"
"Yes! Tomb robbers are not so clean! " Pang Zhihui said. "The hanging coffins themselves are an unsolved mystery, and the Seven Star Hanging Coffins are undoubtedly the mystery of all mysteries!"
"It's quite strange!" Ran Tao scratched his head and asked Zhao Yu, "Team Leader, do you think that this hanging coffin case has something to do with Fengshui or something like that? Is someone using the hanging coffins to refine corpses or something? "
"It can't be!" Pang Zhihui suddenly frowned. "In order to develop a scenic spot, we did a large-scale civil investigation of the Seven Star Hanging Coffins, but so far, no one knows the origin of the Seven Star Hanging Coffins!
"Also, we locals are in awe of the hanging coffins, so no one dares to touch them!"
"So …" Ran Tao raised his eyebrows. "The murderer is not a local?"
While talking, Ran Tao suddenly saw Zhao Yu bend down and look down the cliff again. Because Zhao Yu was bending down too much, Ran Tao quickly reminded him, "Hey, boss, be careful! Although there is water down there … "
He wanted to say, "But if you fall down, you'll be finished," but he thought it was too unlucky, so he quickly stopped.
"The cliff … is not vertical, right?" Zhao Yu remained unmoved as he looked down and asked.
"Yes! Yes! "Pang Zhihui replied hurriedly." The cliff is inclined inward by six or seven degrees, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The cliff was 67 meters high, and the coffin was located between 20 and 40 meters.
"In this way, even if there are any falling rocks on the cliff, they won't hurt the hanging coffins below!" As he spoke, Pang Zhihui clenched his fist. "Unfortunately, it was an electric pole that fell yesterday! The utility pole spun in the air and hit the corner of one of the coffins! Sigh … "
"Guild Leader Pang, you can't say that!" Ran Tao said, "Although some cultural relics were damaged, we found such a big case, which is a blessing in disguise! Otherwise, who knows when these pitiful girls will be discovered by others? "
"Hmm … Leader." Pang Zhihui seemed to have thought of something and asked nervously, "How is it? Have you found out the identities of those girls? They … they couldn't have been killed, right? "
"Well …" Ran Tao wanted to answer his question.
However, Zhao Yu suddenly interrupted, "You don't need to know that! I think we'd better think about how the murderer transported the bodies into the hanging coffins!
"Guild Leader Pang …" Zhao Yu pointed to the bottom of the cliff. "You mean, since the mountain slopes inward, that means no one can climb up from below?"
"Hmm … Something like that!" Pang Zhihui said nervously. "I feel that even if someone can climb up, it's impossible to climb up with a dead body!"
"Indeed, although it's a little girl …" Ran Tao shook his head. "But it's still something! Climbing up like that … It's a bit weird, isn't it? "
"There's water under the cliff …" Zhao Yu stretched his neck and looked. "It's impossible to climb up with a machine! But … Ran Tao … "He told Ran Tao," Later, we'd better consult some climbing experts!
Also, take someone to the bottom of the cliff and check it out yourself. If someone climbed the mountain, there should be some chisel marks left on the mountain! "
"No, no, no …" Pang Zhihui shook his head and said, "Leader, there are things you don't know! The whole mountain here is made of granite, which is one of the hardest kinds of rock. It takes a lot of effort to chisel a hole through it! "
"But I heard that if you climb, you don't need to chisel a hole. You can use the cracks in the rock to place a rock wedge holder!" Zhao Yu retorted.
"Leader, I'm telling the truth!" Pang Zhihui said politely. "In the entire Fu Lai Province, no one knows the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins better than me!
"There are no cracks at all under the cliff!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was surprised.
"One more thing, Baisha River, as the name implies, contains a lot of white sand!" Pang Zhihui pointed to the river below and said, "So, on the side near the cliff, the river is very shallow and full of sand. The cargo ships in the river are afraid of being stranded, so they usually stay away from it!
"If someone really dares to climb, once they fall, they will definitely die! So … "Pang Zhihui said seriously." Rock climbing is almost a very strange term here! "
"Tsk tsk … tsk tsk …"
Although Zhao Yu didn't like the way Pang Zhihui spoke, he had to admit that what he said was reasonable.
Thus, he finally pulled back, left the cliff, and turned his gaze elsewhere.
At this time, the staff was changing the position of the scaffolding to prepare for the second hanging coffin.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu thought of something and asked Pang Zhihui again, "President Pang, yesterday … What did the engineering car that installed the utility pole look like?"
"Well … They were all yellow!" Although Pang Zhihui didn't know what Zhao Yu meant, he quickly replied, "One was equipped with an impact drill and was responsible for digging the pit, and the other was holding the utility pole and preparing to insert the pole!"
"Was it big?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Not particularly big …" Pang Zhihui reached out and gestured. "It was like an ordinary small excavator!"
"You say …" Zhao Yu pondered. "If the scaffolding and the lift were fixed to the two cars, would the two cars be able to withstand it?"
"Ah? So … That's what you mean? "Pang Zhihui finally understood and said," Leader, you really asked the right person! You know what? When I was in college, I actually majored in physics!
"Wait a minute, I can use a computer to roughly calculate whether the idea you said is feasible or not …"
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and began to calculate. As he calculated, he pointed to the scaffolding and muttered, "Assuming that the lightest scaffolding weighs 50 kilograms, then the lift can basically be calculated as 50 kilograms, and then including the rope and the people …"
Seeing that President Pang was so serious, Zhao Yu didn't want to interrupt him, so he had to wait patiently with Ran Tao.
However, in less than three minutes, President Pang raised his head and said to Zhao Yu with certainty, "Leader, no! If the scaffolding and the lift were fixed with two large vehicles, then these two large vehicles would have to be at least one-third larger than the two vehicles yesterday!
"And, there is another key point," President Pang said. "The scaffolding must be 100% fixed. If it is not fixed to the ground, then it must be fixed to the car! So … "
"So … The driver's level must be very high!" Zhao Yu pointed to the cliff and said, "The car must be driven to the edge of the cliff!"
"Yes! That's what I mean! "Pang Zhihui nodded.
"Ha …" Hearing this, Zhao Yu laughed softly. "If that's the case, then things seem to be much simpler!"
"Why?" Pang Zhihui and Ran Tao asked.
"President Pang!" Zhao Yu turned around and pointed behind him. "Is it the only way to this cliff that we came from?"
"Yes!" Pang Zhihui nodded.
