Chapter 1171: The Hanging Coffin Mystery Case

Wuqing Mountain, built on the cliff with a seven-star hanging coffin.

After a bumpy ride, Zhao Yu and others finally came to this very special crime scene.

At this moment, the bottom of the cliff has long been cordoned off by the police, and all idle people 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 the Baisha River and look at the cliff from there.

"Yesterday morning, a group of construction teams to install electric poles were working on this cliff," a local criminal police captain named Xiong Wendong was telling Zhao Yu and others about the incident, "because digging the pole pit of the electric pole requires drilling the rock, and the impact of the drill bit is likely to cause damage to the hanging coffin."

Therefore, President Pang Zhihui of the local Cultural Relics Protection Association received the news and immediately rushed over with Ma Fusheng from the Cultural Relics Bureau to stop it!

"Who knows, in the process of stopping the construction, there was an argument and pushing between the two sides, and someone accidentally hit the switch of the rod inserter, causing the pole to fall off the machine, and then rolled down the cliff......"

"I'll ...... Is it such a coincidence?"

Zhao Yu pouted and muttered, and then walked cautiously towards the edge of the cliff with Xiong Wendong.

Although the Seven Star Hanging Coffin is a well-known local attraction, its location is far away from the town and it is really remote. Therefore, on this section of the cliff, there are no protective measures such as railings, all of which are original.

"Be careful, sir!" Xiong Wendong reminded Zhao Yu while pointing down at the cliff, "Look, fortunately, the cliff wall is sunken inward, and after the telephone pole falls, it only swept the corner of the top hanging coffin!

"Hey?" the sharp-eyed Cui Lizhu just looked around, immediately saw the problem, and hurriedly asked, "No, isn't this coffin lid closed?

"Hmm......" Xiong Wendong hurriedly explained, "It was the forensic doctors who asked it to close, and that gap was also filled by our criminal police team, we are worried that if it is exposed for too long, it will speed up the decomposition of the corpse inside!"

"Please!" Zhao Yu glared back at Cui Lizhu, "Do you understand the rules? Don't interject, okay?" Captain Xiong ......" He turned his head and said to Xiong Wendong, "Don't pay attention to her, or say it in chronological order!"

"Oh...... Oh......" Xiong Wendong was also the first time he had come into contact with such a big leader, obviously nervous, "I continued from where I was just now......

"Hmm...... President Pang of the Cultural Relics Protection Association was naturally frightened when he saw the telephone pole smashed down, so he hurriedly ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down!

"At first, he was naturally very annoyed when he saw the coffin board smashed open! "But ......," Captain Xiong pointed to the bottom of the cliff, "he took a closer look, but soon found that something was wrong!"

"President Pang once participated in the scientific excavation work in the 80s of the last century, and he knew very well that the hanging coffin was empty, and there should be nothing!

"However, when he looked down at the time, he could clearly see that there was not only something in the coffin, but also something that resembled a human being......"

Although the team members present had already understood the general process, when they heard Xiong Wendong's narration at this moment, they still felt a little cold in their hands and feet, and their hairs stood on end.

One was the destruction of cultural relics, and the other was the inexplicable appearance of something in the hanging coffin, which made him realize that the matter was very important, so he called the police on the spot, and also notified the Cultural Relics Bureau and other relevant units.

"I was the first to arrive at the scene, and we brought binoculars!" Xiong Wendong said with a complicated expression, "The sunlight at that time also happened to shine directly, and you can see it clearly." What could be seen inside the hanging coffin was a human foot!!

"You know, there are always some feng shui superstitions on our side, and in the eyes of our people, this hanging coffin is also a more mysterious and sacred thing.

"Therefore, seeing this situation in the hanging coffin, I am really at a loss!" Xiong Wendong said, "The coffin is obviously empty, how can there be a person lying down?"

"So, we hurriedly reported it level by level and asked experts to come and investigate......

"Around noon, the experts from the city arrived, and after a preliminary investigation, they unanimously decided to send someone down and open all the coffin boards to check them!

"Then, we assisted them, found a good climber in the mountain, and rappelled down with a rope......" Xiong Wendong said this, the whole person was already soaked with sweat, "As a result, after opening it, we saw the corpse of a girl!"

"You should have seen the picture, right? The girl was dead, but she looked like she was asleep......

"She looks like she's fifteen or sixteen years old at most, wearing a popular shroud on our side, and her feet are bare!" Xiong Wendong recounted this unbelievable but extremely strange thing with difficulty, "At that time, the experts in the city were also confused!

"They had never seen anything like this, so they quickly reported it to the provincial department!

"You know, we're too far from the provincial capital, and we don't have an airport. Therefore, after the provincial department learned of this incident, it immediately issued two instructions, one was to ask our best local forensic doctor to conduct an on-site investigation, but try to avoid destroying the scene, and the other was to ask us to immediately open the other hanging coffins and see the situation inside!

"The leaders are really wise!" Xiong Wendong sighed, "When we opened the other hanging coffins, you have also seen the photos, and each of the seven coffins of the Seven Star Hanging Coffin contains a dead girl!!

"The girls were almost like the first one, they looked so lifelike that it was impossible to tell how long they had been dead, and some of their cheeks were still rosy, and one could mistakenly think they were still alive!

"That's really...... It's so weird!" Xiong Wendong said this, as if he had used up all his strength, and slowed down for a long time before continuing, "So, when all seven coffins were opened, we finally realized that this matter was too serious!"

"The provincial department also thinks that experts need to be dispatched from all over the country!

"Therefore, they immediately ordered us to suspend the autopsy, close all the coffin boards first, and then wait for the most authoritative expert to come and solve it!" Speaking of this, Xiong Wendong asked Zhao Yu expectantly, "Sir, you give an order, what should we do next?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu stood up and frowned deeply. The case in front of him is really more complicated than he imagined!

"Team leader......" At this time, Miao Ying said to Zhao Yu with a solemn expression, "Let's contact Zhang Peipei now! I think it will be a bit difficult for the forensic team to deal with this kind of thing!"

"Indeed!" Zhao Yu nodded, "In addition to forensics, we also need to find some experts who often deal with ancient corpses." And......" he said, looking at the sun, "I'll have to call their provincial department and ask them to send a helicopter to pick up the forensic team, we've wasted a night and can't afford to waste any more time."

"It's all cliffs here, we can't work at high altitude at night, we have to rush to the daytime and dispose of all the corpses!" Zhao Yu commanded, "Only by completing the autopsy as soon as possible can we know how those girls died!"
