Chapter 386: The Secret of the Lotus Pond

Soon, the director of the scenic spot found the two security guards who were on duty that night, as well as the workers in charge of Lotus.

The two security guards didn't seem to feel how serious the matter was, so they confessed to their dereliction of duty and admitted that they had indeed slept in the guard room that night!

The two of them did not patrol that night, nor did they watch any surveillance, and slept until dawn.

Liang Huan repeatedly insinuated and asked them if there were any "special" circumstances? But the two just insisted that they didn't know anything except sleeping!

Hearing this, the owner of the scenic spot couldn't hold back his face, and immediately scolded the two security guards, saying that it's fine to sleep at night, and the other security guards also sleep, but others will patrol at least once or twice at night, but you lie down Just sleep, I'm so lazy at home!

After scolding, Zhao Yu asked them to take him to the lotus pond to have a look.

On the way to the lotus pond, the old worker told Zhao Yu about the situation at that time, saying that it was early in the morning when he discovered that the lotus was not right. At that time, he was going to salvage the garbage in the pond, but suddenly found that many lotus flowers had been moved, and they became crooked!

"There was no wind or rain that night," the old worker said affirmatively. "It can't be due to natural reasons. Not only did those lotus flowers move, but many petals were knocked off, and they looked very messy! Oh... Later, we A few went down to check, and found a situation!"

Regarding the situation that the old worker suddenly remembered, the director was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked: "Old Jiang, what do you mean? What did you find? Why didn't I hear you say it?"

"Well... the water... the water level is different!" The old worker frowned and said, "At that time, the water level in the lotus pond was a foot lower than before, and you can clearly see the previous water level!"

"Ah?" The director frowned again, "Is it because you guys have been pumping water out for a few days? When there is less water, the lotus will naturally disperse?"

"No? The water pumps are all in the warehouse! They didn't work, and not only didn't they pump, we added a lot of water later!" the old worker replied.

The journey was not far, and while everyone was talking, they had already arrived at the lotus pond in front of the Golden Buddha Pagoda.

The area of ​​this ancient lotus pond is not large, it is in the shape of a figure 8 as a whole, and there is a small bridge for viewing lotus in the middle. The water in the pool was extremely cloudy, and it was not clear how deep the pool was.

However, as the saying goes, the lotus grows out of the mud without being stained. Although the water in the pool is turbid, the lotus flowers in the pool are blooming in full bloom, which is very beautiful!

Zhao Yu squatted beside the pond, first looked at the pagoda on the opposite side and the temple on the other side, then lowered his head, and carefully inspected the lotus pond.

"How deep is the pool?" Zhao Yu looked at it for a while, then suddenly asked.

"It's different!" The old worker replied immediately, "The central part is the deepest, some places can reach 1.5 meters, but most places are less than 1 meter!"

"What's at the bottom of the pool?" Zhao Yu asked again.

"Hmm... Nier?" The old worker wondered, "What else?"

"There are fish!" The director quickly interjected, "There are also big carp, there must be dozens of them! Police officer, do you mean that someone stole the fish?"

"Director, this is not a precious koi, what is it worth?" The old worker shook his head and said, "They are all carp, crucian carp, and turtles released by pilgrims!"

"Little Zhao, what are you thinking! In this water..." Liang Huan looked at Zhao Yu like he was looking at a mental patient.

"Old Liang, help me find someone to check the electricity meter of their Golden Buddha Temple," Zhao Yu said seriously, "Give me the details of their electricity consumption for the past month!"

"What? Check the electricity bill? You..." Liang Huan understood Zhao Yu's meaning, and hurriedly said, "Could it be, do you suspect that someone pumped water for the pool? Is this... possible?"

"Stop talking nonsense,

hurry up! Zhao Yu roared, Liang Huan naturally didn't dare to provoke him, so he quickly took out his phone.

"Wait a minute!" Unexpectedly, the director of the scenic spot suddenly stopped Liang Huan and said, "Our accountant has the details of the electricity bill! I have seen that she has the APP of the Electricity Bureau on her mobile phone, and she can see it as soon as she opens it. ! You guys... wait a minute!"

After speaking, the director of the scenic spot stood up and made a phone call. While making the phone call, he waved his hands repeatedly to the woods on the right.

Zhao Yu followed his gestures and saw that there was a row of beautiful small houses deep in the woods, which should be the office area of ​​the scenic spot.

"Accountant Wang, hurry up, come here, there are police officers here who need to check something!" In order to let people in the distance see clearly, the director stood on tiptoe, "Yes, I am right next to the lotus pond, Did you see me? Okay..."

After finishing speaking, the director hung up the phone and said to Zhao Yu and the others: "Come on, come on, once you turn on the phone, you can see all the water and electricity bills at a glance!"

Soon, the woman who thought she was plump came to the crowd with her mobile phone, and at the direction of the director, she opened the software on the mobile phone.

As a result, before Zhao Yu looked carefully, the director of the scenic spot was the first to be stunned:

"Damn it, why are there so many electricity bills? Are you going crazy?"

When Zhao Yu and others looked at it again, everyone felt that something was wrong, because, according to the power consumption details, on the day when the surveillance video was switched, the power consumption in the scenic area was significantly higher than that in other periods. power consumption.

Obviously, high-power electrical appliances were used in the scenic spot that day.

In addition, the same is true for the water meter. On the same day, the water consumption also reached a peak, far exceeding the usual period.

"No way!?" At this moment, Liang Huan was dumbfounded. "Could it be that someone ran here at night, drained the water in the pool, and then put in new water? Are they a bunch of crazy, or... ...Or do you want to find something in the pool? Could it be..."

Suddenly, Liang Huan remembered the Golden Buddha, and hurriedly pressed Zhao Yu's arm. That meant asking Zhao Yu, could it be that the twelve golden Buddhas were hidden in this ancient lotus pond?

"Impossible!?" At this time, the silly-looking security guard next to him scratched his head, "I've seen pumping water for a pool before, and the sound was too loud. If there was such a big movement in the middle of the night, we wouldn't know Huh? This... is this some kind of prank someone is playing?"

"Impossible!" The old worker also said, "I have pumped water before for maintenance. Although the pool is not big, but if you want to use a water pump to drain it, it will take at least two days and two nights!"

"No!" Unexpectedly, the accountant Wang said suddenly, "How can such a large amount of electricity be produced by one water pump? Judging by the value, at least seven or eight pumps are needed?"

"It's also possible..." Liang Huan became extremely excited, and immediately pointed to the lotus pond and guessed, "They don't have to drain all the water, they only need to drain some of it! They must be looking for something below! Director Ah," Liang Huan turned to the director of the scenic spot and asked, "Do you have any older guides or experts here? Quickly ask, what is under the pool?"

"Oh! Good! Good!" The director of the scenic spot realized the importance of the matter, and was already sweating profusely.

"Okay, don't bother!" Zhao Yu stopped the director of the scenic spot and said to everyone, "Hurry up, take out all your water pumps, let's pump them again! Maybe the water will be drained , I understand everything!")!!
