The county was mainly a tourist destination. Although the county was small, there were many hotels and guesthouses. In order to entertain Zhao Yu and the others, the local police station had already arranged the best hotel for the special investigation team.
However, now that all the police officers had been dispatched, there would be new information coming in at any time. As the team leader in charge, Zhao Yu could not be too far away.
So, he finally decided to stay in the duty room and sleep for the night.
"Hmph! These swindlers … "In the duty room, when Zhao Yu told Miao Ying about today's ghost adventure, Miao Ying said indignantly," You did the right thing. You should teach them a lesson! These people are so hateful. In order to swindle money, they can come up with so many crooked ways! "
"These … are all ordinary goods!" Zhao Yu took Miao Ying's hand and said, "The one who dares to touch the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins is a real high-level talent!"
"Using the girl's body to prolong his life? Isn't that too strange? "Miao Ying shook her head and sighed." How could a normal person believe such nonsense? "
"I think the person who wants to prolong his life must be very rich!" Zhao Yu said. "Otherwise, these high-level scammers wouldn't have targeted him.
"Alas! We all know it's fake, but from the point of view of a dying person, it's completely different! " Zhao Yu said. "A rich person like this might really think that money can buy his life."
"I hope …" Miao Ying said. "We can find this person as soon as possible, so the case can be solved smoothly!"
"But …" Zhao Yu lay on the bed and hugged Miao Ying's waist. He said lazily and tiredly, "I still don't understand the source of the body!"
"Indeed! If the person was deliberately killed, we should at least find the corresponding missing person! "Miao Ying echoed." But so far, we have only found Geng Yaai! "
"I have asked Zeng Ke to check the police case records," Zhao Yu said. "See if the other girls were involved in the case. But … whether they were involved or not, the local people cremated them. I still can't figure out how the body came to be. "
"Mm …" Miao Ying thought for a moment, then put her arm around Zhao Yu's shoulder and said seriously, "Darling, about my previous proposal … Do you want to reconsider it? You know, when you were in Beiqian, all the people were looking for demons, and it had an immediate effect!
"If that's the case, why don't we release the information about the female corpse to the public so that the public can identify her?"
"No …" Zhao Yu said awkwardly. "I don't want to use this method unless it's absolutely necessary! I'm not worried that the public's reaction will be too strong, but if we do that, it will be detrimental to our later investigation …
"When the people who buy and sell corpses find out that we are identifying the corpses, their first reaction will be to run away or to destroy the evidence!
"In that case, we'll lose more than we gain!"
"But …" Miao Ying frowned. "The hanging coffin case is no longer a secret. If he wanted to run away, he would have done so long ago."
"It's not the same … There are so many corpses!" Zhao Yu said. "Maybe it's not the first time the person involved has done this. Although I haven't been involved in selling corpses, I think it's similar to selling other contraband goods.
"If I were a middleman selling contraband goods, would I let my higher-ups meet my lower-ups?"
"Oh …" Miao Ying understood. "You mean, even if the person who sells the corpses knows about the hanging coffin case, he doesn't necessarily know that the corpses in the hanging coffins were sold by him?"
"Yes … Once the information about the corpses is released to the public …" Zhao Yu waved his hand and closed his eyes wearily. His voice was getting softer and softer.
"I understand, I understand! Well, we'll have to wait until we have no other choice! Mm … Oh, right … "Miao Ying continued," Today, Forensics Gao found a dental appliance in the mouth of Corpse Number Two. The appliance was made of a special material, not a mass-produced product, so it had a certain uniqueness to it.
So … I've sent people to various dental clinics nearby to confirm it. Maybe, um … "
Before Miao Ying could finish, she heard Zhao Yu's snoring.
She looked down and saw that Zhao Yu had fallen asleep.
"Um … Have a good rest, dear!" Miao Ying bent down and kissed Zhao Yu on the forehead. Her eyes were full of tenderness.
In fact, Zhao Yu hadn't slept for two days and one night, and Miao Ying hadn't either. However, Zhao Yu was resting, so she couldn't take a break.
So, after helping Zhao Yu lie down, she tidied up her clothes and went back to work in the office.
…
At 8 o 'clock the next morning, Zhao Yu, who had recovered, came to the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins early to check the scene again.
So far, of the three questions he had raised before, one had been basically solved, and the other was still under extensive investigation.
So, the purpose of his return to the scene today was to solve the third question: How did the criminal transport the seven corpses into the hanging coffins?
So far, the technical team had not found any scaffolding on the cliff wall above and below the hanging coffins, or any traces of rock climbing to install fixtures.
Since it didn't descend from above, nor did it climb up from below, could it be that … there really was an aircraft?
Combining all the previous investigations, Zhao Yu wandered around the cliff for more than an hour. He thought of several possibilities in his mind, but in the end, he overruled them all.
Just as Zhao Yu was deep in thought, there was a sudden commotion from the bottom of the cliff.
Zhao Yu quickly looked down and saw a tugboat coming from below the cliff. The tugboat stopped four or five meters away from the cliff and pointed its stern at the cliff.
Then, a few sailors came down from the tugboat and jumped into the water with ropes in their hands.
Um … This is …
Zhao Yu lay on the ground and looked carefully. He saw that the river in front of the cliff was, as President Pang Zhihui had said, shallow sand. When people jumped into the water, the water was only up to their thighs.
"Detective Zhao …" At this time, Xiong Wendong noticed Zhao Yu and hurried over to explain. "They are here to pick up the utility pole! The municipal company is really stingy. They want to pick up the utility pole that has been broken in half! Haha … "
"Oh … to pick up the utility pole!"
Zhao Yu thought about it seriously, but his eyes were fixed on the tugboat below.
Hey?
Suddenly, a surprising idea popped up in his mind. Could it be that the criminals put the bodies in the hanging coffins had something to do with the tugboat?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu hurriedly said to Xiong Wendong, "Quick! Quick, bring me down there to lie down, quick!! "
"Oh …"
Seeing that Zhao Yu was so excited, Xiong Wendong did not dare to delay and hurriedly asked his men to prepare the car.
The cliff looked very close, but to get to the bottom of the cliff, they had to take a long detour.
"Um …" It was not until the car started that Xiong Wendong took the opportunity to ask, "Detective Zhao, did you find something?"
Just as Zhao Yu was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang.
When he opened it, he saw that the call was from Zeng Ke.
"Team leader! Team leader … "As soon as he answered the phone, Zeng Ke's panting voice could be heard." Found it, found it! "
"What did you find?" Zhao Yu asked quickly.
"We just compared the photos on WeChat! We found the identity of body number five! "Zeng Ke said quickly." Her name is Su Lan, and she is a high school student living in Bei Gang City! "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu asked eagerly. "What about the specific situation? Is it a missing person? "
"No … No, no, no … No!"
Unexpectedly, when he heard this, Zeng Ke actually stuttered. Moreover, Zhao Yu could hear that Zeng Ke's stuttering was not because of excessive excitement, but because of a faint sense of fear!
"Team leader!" Sure enough, Zeng Ke replied with a trembling voice. "We just learned from Su Lan's family that Su Lan had depression and committed suicide by burning charcoal last year. She is dead!"
"Oh … Already dead …"
