At 10: 30 am, Bei Gang City Funeral Home.
Zhao Yu arrived at the scene with Xiong Wendong and the others.
When Zhao Yu learned that Number 5's body had been cremated before the New Year, he could only come to two conclusions. First, Su Lan had returned from the dead. Second, her body was not really cremated. It had been replaced.
Of course, the first conclusion was easy to rule out. Obviously, only the second possibility was left.
Moreover, if Su Lan's parents had really watched her being pushed into the crematorium, then there could only be one place that had gone wrong, and that was the funeral home.
To be more precise, it was the crematorium of the funeral home.
The crematorium was part of the funeral home. As the name suggested, it was a place where the dead were cremated.
According to the information, there was only one crematorium in the whole of Bei Gang City. Because the local people advocated cremation, the crematorium was still very busy.
When Zhao Yu and the others arrived, the dead were being burned inside, and there was a line of people waiting to be burned.
Zhao Yu wanted to check the crematorium, but there was a raging fire inside, so he could only wait for the time being.
"Detective Zhao, detective Zhao, there's really something wrong!" Xiong Wendong rushed to Zhao Yu and reported. "The employee in charge of the crematorium is a substitute. He said that the crematorium's supervisor, Bai Lang, has taken sick leave and has not worked for three days."
"Three days?" Zhao Yu exhaled. "That's the day the hanging coffin female corpse was found."
"I … I have informed the Bei Gang Criminal Police Unit and asked them to arrest the suspect," Xiong Wendong said quickly. "The mobile phone signal is also located."
"Hmm …" Although Zhao Yu nodded, he felt that the chances of catching the suspect were not high. Since the suspect had been aware of it, he should have already fled. It would take some time to catch him.
"If that's the case …" Xiong Wendong pointed to the crematorium in the distance and said, "Is there something wrong with the crematorium? The family of the deceased saw the deceased being pushed in and saw the fire with their own eyes.
"Then …" He scratched his head and said incredulously, "Where are the ashes?"
"The ashes were buried in the grave," Zhao Yu said. "The family of the deceased is now going to the Criminal Police Unit to identify the body. If it is confirmed, they will open the grave to check the ashes. Send someone to follow up and accompany them the whole way. "
"Oh … Okay." Xiong Wendong gestured to his men, and someone immediately went to do it. After he left, Xiong Wendong said, "Detective Zhao, does that mean … even the ashes are fake?
"How dare they set their sights on the crematorium. These people who deal with corpses are too despicable! Alas! " He sighed and said, "No wonder the female corpses in the hanging coffins have been put on makeup. It turns out that the makeup was drawn by the funeral parlor for them!"
Except for the last two, Zhao Yu and said, the first five female corpses were all cremated by this funeral. Other than the last two, the first five female corpses were all cremated in this funeral home!
"We Gang, We Lang Lang Gang." They were "Lang.
As soon as he said that, the police officers present were in an uproar. Not to mention seeing it, no one had ever heard of such a strange thing.
"Five!?" Xiong Wendong was puzzled. "You're still missing two? Where did the last two come from?"
"What the f * ck?" Hearing this, Zhao Yu yelled, "Female corpse number six showed signs of a car accident, and female corpse number seven was strangled to death!
"Is there a need to guess? It must be that the person who wanted to prolong his life got worse and couldn't wait any longer. They couldn't get enough dead people, so they started to kill the living! "
"Ah …" Everyone's expression changed again.
"Too … Too bad!" Xiong Wendong was trembling with anger. "Murder! The two girls at the back … were murdered!? "
"But …" Zeng Ke said to Zhao Yu anxiously, "Leader, according to the information, female corpse number one, Ling Mengfan, committed suicide by cutting her wrists, but she was cremated last September. It's been nearly nine months now, and the body is still in the hanging coffin. How … How is it possible? "
Indeed …
Zhao Yu frowned. He really couldn't figure out why the body did not rot. Gao Facai had already examined the body with several experts, but the result was the same as Zhang Peipei's. They still couldn't find the reason why the body did not rot.
Because the body would eventually be cremated, the funeral home would simply put makeup on the body and not do any embalming.
So, if he wanted to know why the body did not rot, he would have to catch the culprit!
"Zeng Ke …" Zhao Yu asked another question. "What was the cause of death of the deceased?"
"Um …" Zeng Ke took a look at the information and replied, "Except for female corpse number two, who died of congenital heart disease, the other four girls all committed suicide!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu asked again, "What about female corpse number three? The one suspected of drowning? "
"It was also suicide!" Zeng Ke said with certainty. "The deceased's name was Liu Yueying, and she committed suicide by jumping into a river. Because it was discovered early, the body showed no signs of swelling or bleaching! "
"Oh …"
"Right!" Zeng Ke hurriedly turned on his mobile phone, pulled up a report, and said to Zhao Yu, "This is the autopsy report you wanted last night. The forensic doctor has confirmed that, except for female corpses number one, two, and four, the other girls are no longer virgins!"
"Ah? They're not virgins? "Zhao Yu was surprised. Yesterday, Master Zhang had made it clear that it was more suitable to use pure Yin corpses to prolong one's life. But, not all of these girls were virgins!
Could it be that there was an objection to the culprit's purpose?
"Leader, leader …" At this time, one of Xiong Wendong's subordinates ran over and reported to Zhao Yu, "We just checked the surveillance footage, but it was too early to find it. But, regarding the situation of the fifth corpse, we found an obvious problem … Come and take a look!"
After that, the person immediately led Zhao Yu and the others to the surveillance room of the funeral home.
On the way, he added, "Number 5's body was cremated three months ago.
The funeral home is understaffed, so the surveillance footage is basically unsupervised. Only when something happens will someone check it.
But, the curator told me, what could happen to the funeral home? So, the surveillance footage is just a decoration … "
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the surveillance room. Not only were there the technical team's police officers present, but the funeral home's curator was also waiting there!
Seeing Zhao Yu's arrival, the police officer hurriedly turned on the video that had been adjusted for Zhao Yu and the others to watch.
On the screen, they could clearly see that, in the middle of the night, a man in a white coat sneaked out of the cremation room, carrying a huge and heavy woven bag on his shoulder!
"Oh … So …" Xiong Wendong said nervously, "That bag contains the female corpse? Just like the group of people that Detective Zhao met last night, the guy who burned the corpse used a trick in front of the family members? "
"This person is Bai Lang!" The curator pointed to the man in the video and confirmed. "That night, he wasn't supposed to be on the night shift! But, he deliberately switched shifts with Wang … "
"That is to say …" Zhao Yu turned around and asked, "That night, he was the only one in the entire funeral home?"
"Yes!" The curator said quickly. "In a special place like ours, we don't have to worry about thieves or anything! So, we turn a blind eye to the night shift. Some of them come over to clock in, then go home to sleep! Some of them don't even clock in. I didn't expect … "
