"When you say 'death,' you mean … the deaths of the deceased were all accidents!" Zeng Ke also felt his hair stand on end, and the atmosphere was strange. "And the corpses … were all stolen by the murderer? Digging up the graves of the dead? That's too wicked … "
"Not necessarily!" Zhao Yu said. "I heard that in my hometown, you can buy them with money! I don't know if it's the same in Wuqing Mountain. "
"Ah … That makes sense!" Zeng Ke said. "If the bodies were bought, then there's no way to compare them with the missing people! But … They are all underage girls over the age of 14. Even if you have money, can you really buy them?
"Although the children have passed away, they are, after all, their own children. Which parent would be willing to sell their child's body?"
"That's hard to say. Poor families, local customs, adults who think it's for the good of the children …" Zhao Yu said. "Anyway, we have to look into this!"
"Um …" Zeng Ke thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember female corpse number 7? Didn't the forensic doctor say that she was strangled to death? This … "
"Eh?" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up. "Zeng Ke, could it be that female corpse number 7 herself died in a murder case, but the case was solved? Then, when the family disposed of the body, someone was willing to pay for the body, so the body was placed in hanging coffin number 7? "
"If that's the case …" Zeng Ke understood what Zhao Yu meant. "Then I'll check the case records to see if there are any similar cases."
"Um … Apart from this …" Zhao Yu asked, "If our guess is correct, is there any other way to confirm the identity of the deceased?"
"Underage girls don't have many chances to apply for an ID card. There are no photos on the household registration page. If we want to find them, I'm afraid we can only start with the student registration form!" Zeng Ke said.
"However, most of the photos on the student registration form are photos of children when they were very young, so there will be errors in the software. Moreover, I'm afraid that some of them will drop out of school … "
"Oh, and …" Zeng Ke thought for a moment and said, "You can also compare personal photos on the Internet, but it will take a long time. Usually, it will take years!"
"Well," Zhao Yu ordered. "Don't let go of any possibility! Send the data back to the Central Criminal Division and let them distribute it to all the provincial departments to help with the search! I don't believe that we can't find the owner of these six fresh corpses! "
"Alright, I'll get it done now!"
After agreeing, Zeng Ke hung up the phone.
Tsk tsk …
At that moment, Zhao Yu was still on the cliff. Looking at the busy staff, he smacked his lips out of habit.
I'm afraid … this direction isn't right, is it?
He thought to himself, "Because... Geng Yaai is really missing." She definitely had nothing to do with the secret marriage, right?
If the family sold the body, why would they report it to the police?
Also, the autopsy report proved that she might have been involved in a car accident. Was there any mystery behind it?
That's really strange!
Up to now, the case had been investigated for a day and a half, but he hadn't even solved a single problem. Instead, there were more and more puzzles. Was the mystery of the hanging coffins really so strange and complicated?
"Leader, leader …"
Just as Zhao Yu was deep in thought, Captain Xiong Wendong suddenly came up to him with a young policeman.
"Leader," Xiong Wendong said seriously. "Didn't you ask me to find some Feng Shui masters or metaphysical experts? Um … You see … "
As he spoke, he pointed at the young policeman.
"No way!" Zhao Yu grinned. "So young? Are you kidding me? "
"No, no!" The young policeman hurriedly waved his hand. "Leader, you misunderstood me. I'm not a master. I just know where to find one!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu's original intention was to ask Xiong Wendong to find some experts in this field and ask them about the Seven Star Hanging Coffins.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Wendong just found a piece of information.
"We have a Feng Shui master in Wufeng Ridge. He's very accurate!" the young policeman said. "Um … He lives in the deserted Wufeng Taoist Temple in the past! Oh … He looks like an immortal. He's not an ordinary person at first glance! Physiognomy, divination, Feng Shui, he's amazing! "
"Um … Leader …" Xiong Wendong added. "To be honest, we're all policemen. Of course, we don't believe in these things. So, after you asked me, it took me a long time to find such a person! "
"Wufeng Ridge …" Zhao Yu recalled the map. "It doesn't seem too far, does it?"
"Not far! Not far! "the young policeman replied quickly." It's only six or seven kilometers! If you want to go, I can take you there now! "
"Does he also read people's fortunes at night?" Zhao Yu asked as he looked at the darkening sky.
"Well … I don't know!" The young policeman replied. "But … You're not looking for him to read your fortune. As long as he's at home, are you afraid that he won't cooperate with the investigation?"
"That's true!" Zhao Yu thought for a moment and decided. "Well … I'll go meet this master now!"
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Xiong Wendong said as he immediately walked to a police car.
"Don't!" Zhao Yu waved his hand. "Let's change cars! It's not appropriate to drive a police car to the master's house. We have to keep a low profile! "
"Oh … Okay!" Xiong Wendong quickly picked up his phone and called a non-police car.
Then, Xiong Wendong drove, and the young policeman led the way. The three of them went up towards Wufeng Ridge.
When the car was on the main road, Zhao Yu did not stay idle. He told the two police officers about the female corpse's identity, wanting to hear their opinions.
"Secret marriage?" Xiong Wendong shook his head. "I've only read about it in supernatural novels, but in reality … I don't think I've ever seen it, nor have I handled any similar cases!"
"Indeed …" The young policeman turned around and said, "Leader, to tell you the truth, our family specializes in performing funerals for a living!
"Let me tell you this. Buying and selling corpses may happen in other places, but in our area, it's absolutely impossible!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was surprised. "Why?"
"Because …" The young policeman said, "We advocate cremation here! After a person dies, they have to be cremated! "
"Right! Right! "Xiong Wendong clapped his hands." Hey! Why didn't I think of that? Leader, it's true. Here, cremation is not only a national rule, but also our tradition! "
"Why do I feel that the crime of selling corpses is so foreign to me?" Xiong Wendong said. "You don't know, but our traditional funeral culture believes that a person can only go to heaven after being cremated! So, if the person is cremated, why would we sell corpses? "
"Oh?" Zhao Yu wrinkled his nose and said, "So … Even if we dig up graves and steal corpses … It's impossible?"
