"It turns out that you're a policeman!"
Once he heard that Zhao Yu was a police officer, Master Zhang's fear dissipated, but his mood plummeted, and he suddenly became listless.
"Master, let's get down to business!" Zhao Yu opened his briefcase and took out a photo of the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins. "Come and have a look. You should recognize this thing, right?"
"This …" The master craned his neck and looked at it. Suddenly, he was deeply puzzled. "Officer, what do you mean? Isn't this the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins of Wuqing Mountain? I heard that a body was found in it, right? A lot of people have gone over to see it!
"Mm … Aiya …" Suddenly, Master Zhang seemed to understand what Zhao Yu meant. He quickly bowed and explained, "Police officer! Don't think too much. The body in the hanging coffins has nothing to do with us! We just heard about it. We don't have that kind of ability … "
"Hmph! You're quite capable! " Zhao Yu stopped smiling and asked solemnly, "Let me ask you, do you know anything about the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins?"
Afterward, Zhao Yu did not conceal anything. He immediately told the man about the hanging coffins and the corpses.
"Ah? Is it that strange? " Master Zhang was confused. "The Seven Stars Hanging Coffins are on a cliff facing the sun. The sun is so strong and the temperature is so high. How could the bodies not rot? Could it be that they were just put in there? "
"I'm asking about the method!" Zhao Yu said. "I don't think I need to say anything more. Just for the fact that you drugged me, a sentence of more than three years in prison is a sure thing! "
"But if you can provide us with clues about the hanging coffins case, I can consider withdrawing this accusation. In that case, the whole nature of the case will change! I don't think you're stupid, are you? "
"Oh, look at what you're saying. Don't worry, I'll tell you everything I know. As long as I know it, I won't hide anything! It's just that … "The master frowned and thought hard for a long time before saying," The Seven Stars Hanging Coffins were left behind by ancient people. It's very mysterious. People in our industry rarely mention it … "
"From the perspective of Fengshui alone, that cliff can hide the wind and dew, connecting heaven and earth. It can be considered a treasured Fengshui land for funerals!
"But … but …" He tried hard to recall, and his fingers couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. He said, "If we put a girl's body in the hanging coffin, and she has her birth date, this … this …"
Zhao Yu looked at the master, who was rubbing his hands and closing his eyes. He immediately scolded, "What? Do you still want money?"
"No, no!" The master hurriedly waved his hand. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! I just … don't know what to say?
"Hmm …" He reorganized his words and asked, "Officer, are all seven girls virgins?"
"This …" Zhao Yu had never noticed this before, nor had he heard the forensic doctor mention it. He shook his head and said, "I don't know! The corpse is currently being dissected. We can ask him later … Hmm … What do you mean by this? "
"Oh … I was just asking!" Master Zhang said, frowning. "This situation, at first glance, is a bit like being buried with a noble person!
"But in the area of Wuqing Mountain, we are the descendants of the Tuo people. We advocate cremation, so there are not many cases of corpses being left behind. Basically, it is rare to see this kind of burial method …" The master said, still pinching his eyebrows. "So, it gives me the feeling that the Seven Star Hanging Coffins are more like extending someone's life!"
"Oh? Extending someone's life? "Zhao Yu had such a guess before.
"Yes!" Master Zhang said. "Have you ever read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Didn't Zhuge Kongming use the Seven Star Lamp to extend his life? Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
"You see, this Seven Star Hanging Coffin represents the Big Dipper. Could it have the same function as the Seven Star Lamp? Is it just necessary to put a body in the coffin for sacrifice? "
"This …" Zhao Yu didn't agree or disagree.
"You see, in general, to make a secret marriage or to be buried with someone, as long as the body of a random woman is enough, right?" Master Zhang said. "But … There are seven girls here, so the meaning is different!
"I seem to have heard someone say that girls who are still virgins have a body of pure Yin. Putting the bodies of these girls in the hanging coffins must be to pray for life extension or longevity!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu asked quickly, "Have you done it or seen it before?"
"No! I really haven't done it! "Master Zhang quickly waved his hand." I haven't even done a secret marriage! Not to mention me, anyone I know has never done this before either!
"As I said just now, all the dead people were sent to the funeral home to be cremated! There are no bodies at all. You can't just hold the urn and chant a spell, right? "
"Tsk tsk … Is it that difficult?" Zhao Yu smacked his lips and asked, "Then … If the bodies in the Seven Star Hanging Coffins were accidental deaths, how do you think the bodies were obtained?"
"Then they could only be transported from afar!" Master Zhang said without hesitation. "Xiakou and Yuejiang really like burial. Could they have bought the bodies from there?
"If you want to be more ruthless, could they have been dug up from a grave?
"But … After all, digging up graves is harmful to one's virtue and lifespan. No one would do such a thing unless they were so poor that they were crazy!"
"Impossible!" Zhao Yu shook his head. "The bodies have no trace of being frozen. If they were transported from hundreds of kilometers away, how could the bodies have rotted in such hot weather?"
"Well …" Master Zhang shook his head. "That's strange! Unless they were all their own children, no one could have gotten so many young girls' bodies! "
Fine!
Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He thought he could get something out of this fraud, but he didn't expect that after asking for a long time, it was still the same old story. He hadn't solved a single riddle!
At this time, Xu Lu, who had hit the door frame, and Master Zhang's wife were gradually showing signs of waking up.
Zhao Yu knew that once they woke up, he would inevitably have to spend more time talking to them, so he wanted to take the opportunity to ask a few more questions.
Unexpectedly, before Zhao Yu could speak, Master Zhang suddenly thought of something. He frowned and said, "Hey? Police officer, there is something that I feel is not quite right … "
"Oh? Tell me quickly! "Zhao Yu urged." What is it? "
"You just said …" Master Zhang recalled, "Among the girls' bodies, there were some who died of illness, right?"
"Yes! One of the victims died of a heart attack! "Zhao Yu nodded.
"Another one … was strangled to death?" Master Zhang asked again.
"Yes!" Zhao Yu was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"That's a bit wrong. The Qi and Yun Da Jing and Kanyu Xuan Jing both say that …" Master Zhang began to quote from the classics. "If you want to borrow the lifespan of others, it is very taboo to do so on people who died of illness or a violent death!
"Especially those who have a terrible disease! You see … "He spread out his palms and explained," Originally, it was to pray for longevity, but how can a person who has a terminal illness have a lifespan to speak of? "
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu smacked his lips. Although what he said was strange, Zhao Yu felt that this guy was right.
"If they wanted to commit suicide by cutting their wrists or drinking medicine to commit suicide, it would be barely acceptable!" Master Zhang said. "But if they were strangled to death or had a car accident, it would also be taboo!
"Using such a violent death to prolong one's life is undoubtedly a sign of great evil! It would be very harmful to oneself! "
"So … You mean …" Zhao Yu shook his head. "The Seven Stars Hanging Coffin Case is not because someone wanted to go against heaven to prolong their life?"
"That's hard to say!" Master Zhang said awkwardly. "There is also a possibility that people are hungry and can't be choosers!"
