Chapter 1248: Don’t keep me in suspense, alright?
At 2:30 pm, in the Special Investigation Group office of the Wuqing County Police station.
“Oh …” Cui Lizhu, who was lying on the desk, yawned and looked at the center of the office.
At that moment, Zhao Yu was still standing in front of the two whiteboards, thinking about the case seriously.
The two whiteboards were filled with information related to female corpse number seven. Although it was already late at night, Zhao Yu didn’t feel tired at all. His eyes were wide open as he was still deep in thought.
There were three main reasons why Zhao Yu was so persistent.
First, he had a feeling that he had missed something on female corpse number seven. If he could find the missing point, he might be able to make significant progress in the case.
Secondly, his Kun Qian hexagram was still ongoing, so he really hoped that he could solve all the cases before it was completed.
Because, according to past experience, when the Kun Qian hexagram ended, the system would have a short period of freezing, and then he would not be able to open a hexagram!
Third, he had used sleeping pills to sleep well for two days. Now that he had settled things with Lin chengye, he felt refreshed and was at his most focused.
Therefore, he decided to strike while the iron was hot and correctly solve the problem of female corpse number seven at the same time, completely ending the strange female corpse hanging coffin case.
Zhao Yu wasn’t the only one who hadn’t slept. Wu Xiumin was also doing some auxiliary work. At that moment, she gave Zhao Yu the latest information she had found.
“Team leader, I’ve checked. Pang Zhihui is indeed a member of the pang family, and he’s a seventh-generation heir, so he’s a big suspect!
Wu Xiumin then asked,”why don’t we test his DNA?”
“Not for now,” Zhao Yu said.”Once we do a DNA test, we might alert the enemy. Since he is indeed a suspect, we should dig up more information about him!”
“Team leader, the information I can find is limited. If I want to know exactly what happened to him 20 or 30 years ago, I still need to visit him and investigate!
“But,” Wu Xiumin said, embarra.s.sed.”As long as we visit and investigate, we will still alert the enemy!”
“Mm … Let me think about it …” Zhao Yu was silent for a few seconds, then asked again,”what Xiao Cui said before was right. If we can determine the range, then how about starting with the missing people? Let’s see who female corpse number seven could be. As long as we reveal her ident.i.ty, it won’t be difficult to find the murderer, right?”
“Well … Gao Facai and the others are looking for information,” Wu Xiumin said.”I think … We should at least wait until the list is complete before we can start looking for it.”
“Yeah, they’ll only start investigating tomorrow!” Cui Lizhu rubbed her eyes and said,”boss, listen to me and get some rest! We’ll deal with female corpse number seven sooner or later!”
“Mm …” Zhao Yu ignored cui Lizhu, but said to Wu Xiumin,”sis Wu, you must be tired. Give me pang Zhihui’s information, and you can go rest!”
“Alright then!” Wu Xiumin agreed, then said,”don’t stay up too late. You still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow!”
Zhao Yu nodded, then Wu Xiumin left the office.
At that moment, only Zhao Yu and cui Lizhu were left in the office.
“Alright, Lizhu …” Zhao Yu turned back to look at the white board and said,”you should go to sleep! There’s nothing for you to do here!”
“Oh …” Cui Lizhu stretched lazily, then shook her head and said,”no, I’d better stay here and watch you!” I’ll help you out. By the way, where’s sister Miao?”
“He’s still in Xiakou. ” Zhao Yu picked up a pen and wrote something on the whiteboard, then replied,”I asked Miao Ying to stay there and watch over Lin chaofeng!”
“Lin chaofeng?” Cui Lizhu pouted her lips and asked,”do you suspect that woman is also suspicious?”
“A little,” Zhao Yu said frankly.”In addition to a little suspicion, I’m also worried that Lin chengye has a backup plan. So, I’d be more at ease if I left Miao Ying there!” Hmm … Hmm?”
Just as Zhao Yu was talking to cui Lizhu, he suddenly noticed something important in his eyes …
“What?” “What’s wrong, boss?” cui Lizhu asked immediately when she saw Zhao Yu staring at the whiteboard.
“This … This mark … Is there a problem?” he asked. Zhao Yu reached out and pointed at the photos on the whiteboard.
“Traces?” Out of curiosity, cui Lizhu quickly came forward to take a look. She saw that the photos were all of the heavy and gloomy hanging coffins!
“These traces …” Zhao Yu pointed to one of the photos and said,”they were all left behind by Yue Yongnian when he opened the hanging coffins! Because the coffins were extremely heavy, they had to spend a lot of effort!”
“Oh …” Cui Lizhu looked at the photo again and said,”there’s nothing wrong with it.” There were no fresh traces on the seventh hanging coffin, which meant that Yue Yongnian and the others had indeed not touched it. So, female corpse number seven obviously has nothing to do with them!”
“But …” Zhao Yu frowned and asked,”did you ever think that Yue Yongnian and his team used the cargo s.h.i.+p and the ladder to open the coffins? But if they didn’t do it, then how did they open hanging coffin No. 7?”
“Eh? Right? Why didn’t I think of this?” Cui Lizhu scratched her head.”Hanging coffin No. 7 is the highest, more than 40 meters!”
“Also, if female corpse number seven was really born more than 30 years ago, a.s.suming that she was 16 years old when she died, then she should have been placed in the hanging coffin in the 1990s,” Zhao Yu said.”At that time, where would there be any ladder carriers?”
“Yup!” Cui Lizhu frowned.”How could the murderer do that?” Unless…Unless…They’ll descend from the mountains and bring the corpses down. But … Isn’t that too dangerous?”
“Of course!” Zhao Yu asked,”did you notice? The murderer who placed female corpse number seven is facing the same problem as Yue Yongnian and the rest. They couldn’t have done it during the day!”
“Then … What other possibility is there?” Cui Lizhu became more and more confused.”The point is, Yue Yongnian and his men placed the bodies there as a scam! But what about female corpse number seven? For what?”
“I’m not sure why, but …” Zhao Yu looked at the photo and said,”I almost know how the murderer put female corpse number seven in there!”
“Ah? It’s that powerful?” “Then, let’s not keep you in suspense,” cui Lizhu asked.
“No, it’s not my style to not show off, hehe …” Zhao Yu laughed, then pointed to the photo of the hanging coffins and asked,”Xiao Cui, did you notice? Although hanging coffin No. 7 was the highest among the seven coffins, it was from the bottom up!”
“From the bottom to the top?” Cui Lizhu pondered.”You mean, we should look at it from top to bottom?”
“Smart!” Zhao Yu snapped his fingers.”From the top to the bottom, hanging coffin No. 7 is the one closest to the cliff!
“I think it’s because of this difference in perspective that Yue Yongnian and his team took care of the other six hanging coffins first and left this seventh coffin behind!”
“Hmm … But I still don’t understand.” Cui Lizhu frowned.
“Look at the coffin opening marks left on the hanging coffin,” Zhao Yu said.”There are no new marks on hanging coffin No. 7, so the marks are very old, right?
“But, if you look closely, you will find that on the other six hanging coffins, there are also some ancient traces of coffins being opened!”
“I know that,” cui Lizhu said.”In 1985, the hanging coffins were opened once because of a scientific examination. Naturally, it was left behind from that time?”
“Yes, actually … If you ignore the fresh traces left by Yue Yongnian and the others, you’ll find,” Zhao Yu said, pointing to the photo,”that the old traces of the other six coffins and coffin number seven are the same!”
“Ah?” This time, cui Lizhu finally understood and shouted in surprise,”you … You mean, the problem lies in the scientific expedition?!”
“Hmph …” Zhao Yu smiled.”Now you know why I suspected pang Zhihui so much, right?”
