Chapter 1171: The Hanging Coffin Mystery Case
Wuqing Mountain is built on the cliff with the seven-star hanging coffin.
After a bumpy journey, Zhao Yu and others finally came to this very special crime scene.
At this moment, the bottom of the cliff has already been blocked by the police, and all idlers are not allowed to go up the mountain. Therefore, media reporters who want to find out, as well as curious people, can only go to the opposite bank of Baisha River and look at the cliff from there.
"Yesterday morning, a construction team installing electric poles was working on this cliff," a local criminal police captain named Xiong Wendong was telling Zhao Yu and others about the incident. , the rock needs to be drilled, and the impact of the drill bit is likely to cause damage to the hanging coffin.
"So, upon receiving the news, Pang Zhihui, the president of the local Cultural Relics Protection Association, rushed over with Ma Fusheng, the officer of the Cultural Relics Bureau, to stop it!
"Unexpectedly, during the process of stopping the construction, the two sides had disputes and shoves. Someone accidentally hit the switch of the pole inserting machine, causing the pole to fall off the machine and then rolled down the cliff..."
"I'm going...is it such a coincidence?"
Zhao Yu pouted and muttered something, then walked cautiously towards the edge of the cliff with Xiong Wendong.
Although the Seven-Star Hanging Coffin is a relatively famous scenic spot in the local area, it is far away from the town, so it is very remote. Therefore, on this section of the cliff, there are no protective measures such as railings, all of which are original ecology.
"Be careful, sir!" Xiong Wendong reminded Zhao Yu, pointing down the cliff, "Look, fortunately, the cliff is sunken inward, and after the telegraph pole fell, it just hit the top of the cliff. A corner of the coffin! A small piece of the coffin board was smashed off, and the position of the coffin board and the coffin was staggered, so that a corner of the coffin was exposed!"
"Huh?" The sharp-eyed Cui Lizhu just looked around, and immediately saw the problem, and asked quickly, "Isn't it right? Isn't the coffin lid closed? Where is it broken?"
"Hmm..." Xiong Wendong hurriedly explained, "The forensic doctors made it close, and our criminal police team hired someone to fill in the gap. We are worried that if it is exposed for too long, it will accelerate the decay of the corpse inside!"
"Please!" Zhao Yu turned around and glared at Cui Lizhu, "Do you understand the rules? Don't interrupt, okay? Captain Xiong..." He turned around and said to Xiong Wendong, "Don't bother with her, and follow the development of time. Speak in order!"
"Oh... oh..." Xiong Wendong was also in contact with such a big leader for the first time, obviously nervous, "I'll continue from where I was just now...
"Hmm...President Pang of the Cultural Relics Protection Association was terrified when he saw the electric pole fall down, so he hurried to the edge of the cliff to look down!
"In the beginning, he was very annoyed when he saw the coffin boards were smashed open! But..." Captain Xiong pointed to the bottom of the cliff, "He took a closer look, but soon found something wrong!
"Chairman Pang once participated in the scientific excavation in the 1980s, and he knew very well that the hanging coffins were all empty, so there should be nothing!
"However, when he looked down at that time, he could clearly see that not only was there something in the coffin, but it was also a human-like thing..."
Although the team members present had already understood the general process, hearing Xiong Wendong's narration at this moment, they still felt a little cold in their hands and feet, and their hairs stood on end.
"Chairman Pang was terrified! One was that the cultural relics were destroyed, and the other was that something inexplicably appeared in the hanging coffin, which made him realize that the matter was of great importance, so he called the police on the spot, and also notified the Cultural Relics Bureau and other relevant units .
"I was also the first to arrive at the scene, and we brought binoculars!" Xiong Wendong said with a complicated expression. "At that time, the sun was shining directly down, so we could see clearly. What can be seen inside the hanging coffin , but a human foot!!!
"You know, there's always some Feng Shui superstition around here,
Moreover, in the eyes of our common people, this hanging coffin is also a relatively mysterious and sacred thing.
"So, seeing this situation in the hanging coffin, I was really at a loss!" Xiong Wendong said, "The coffin is obviously empty, so how could there be a person lying there?
"So, we hurriedly reported it level by level, and applied for experts to come and investigate...
"About noon, the experts from the city arrived. After a preliminary investigation, they unanimously decided to send people down to open all the coffin boards for inspection!
"Then, we assisted them, recruited a good climber from the mountain, and rappelled down with a rope..." Xiong Wendong said here, his whole body was soaked in sweat, "As a result, after opening it, we saw a The girl's body!
"You should have seen the photo, right? Although the girl is dead, she looks as if she is asleep...
"She looks fifteen or sixteen years old at most. She is wearing a shroud that is popular in our area, and her feet are bare!" Xiong Wendong narrated this unimaginable but extremely strange thing with difficulty, "At that time, experts in the city They are also dumbfounded!
"They have never seen such a thing, so they quickly reported it to the provincial department!
"You know, we are too far away from the provincial capital, and there is no airport. So after the provincial government learned about this, it immediately issued two instructions. One is to ask our best local forensic doctor to conduct an on-site inspection, but try to Avoid destroying the scene; the other is that we need to open the other hanging coffins immediately to see what's inside!
"The leaders are really wise!" Xiong Wendong sighed, "When we opened the other hanging coffins, you have seen the photos. In the seven coffins of the Seven Star Hanging Coffins, each of the seven coffins contained a dead girl! !!
"Those girls are almost the same as the first one, they look so lifelike, and it is impossible to tell from the naked eye how long they have been dead, and some of their cheeks are still rosy, making people mistakenly believe that they are still alive!
"This is really... so weird!" Xiong Wendong seemed to have exhausted all his strength when he said this, and he waited for a long time before continuing, "So, when all seven coffins were opened, we finally realized that this It's too serious!
"The provincial department also believes that experts need to be dispatched from all over the country!
"Therefore, they immediately ordered us to suspend the autopsy and close all the coffin panels first, and then wait for the most authoritative experts to come and solve it!" At this point, Xiong Wendong asked Zhao Yu with full expectation, "Sir, please give the order, What should we do next?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu stood up and frowned deeply. The case in front of him was indeed more complicated than he imagined!
"Team leader..." At this time, Miao Ying said to Zhao Yu with a solemn expression, "I'll contact Zhang Peipei now! I think it would be difficult for the forensic team to handle this kind of thing!"
"Indeed!" Zhao Yu nodded. "In addition to forensic medicine, we have to find some experts who often deal with ancient corpses. And..." He looked at the sun and said, "I have to call their provincial department Call and have them send a helicopter to get the forensic team over, we've already wasted the night and there's no more time to waste.
"There are cliffs here, we can't work at heights at night, we have to deal with all the corpses in the daytime!" Zhao Yu ordered, "Only by completing the autopsy as soon as possible, can we know how those girls died! ") Book friends, pay attention to it!
