Chapter 386: The Secret of the Lotus Pond
Soon, the director of the scenic spot called the two security guards on duty that night, as well as the workers in charge of Lotus.
The two security guards didn't seem to think it was serious, so they confessed to their dereliction of duty and admitted that they had indeed slept in the guardhouse 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 that they had any "special" circumstances, but the two of them insisted that they didn't know anything except for sleeping!
Hearing this, the owner of the scenic spot couldn't hold it on his face, and immediately scolded the two security guards, saying that it was okay to sleep at night, and the other security guards also slept, but others would patrol at least once or twice at night, but you lay down and slept, and you were too lazy to go home!
After scolding, Zhao Yu asked them to take him to the lotus pond to check it out.
On the way to the lotus pond, the old worker told Zhao Yu about the situation at that time, saying that when he found out that something was wrong with the lotus flower, it was early in the morning of the same day. At that time, he was about to go to salvage the garbage in the pond, but suddenly found that many lotus flowers had been touched by people and became crooked!
"It was rainless that night," the old worker affirmed, "it could not have been a natural cause, but not only had the lotus flowers moved their positions, but many of the petals had been touched off, and they looked very scattered......!" Later, a few of us went down to check and found a situation!"
The director was slightly stunned by the situation that the old worker suddenly remembered, and hurriedly asked: "Old Jiang, what do you mean? What did you find again? Why haven't I heard from you?"
"Hmm...... Water...... The water level is different!" The old worker frowned and said, "At that time, the water level of the lotus pond was a foot lower than before, and you can clearly see the previous water level!"
"Huh?" the director frowned again, "Is it that a few of you have been pumping water out for a few days?
"No, the pumping machines are all in the warehouse! they didn't move, and not only did they not pump, but we added a lot of water later!" replied the old worker.
The road was not far away, and while everyone was talking, they had come to the lotus pond in front of the golden pagoda.
The area of this ancient lotus pond is not large, and it is in the shape of a figure 8 as a whole, and there is a small bridge for lotus viewing in the middle. The water is so turbid that it's hard to see how deep it is.
However, the so-called lotus out of the mud is not stained, although the pool water is turbid, but the lotus in the pond is blooming beautifully, particularly beautiful!
Zhao Yu squatted next to the pool, first looked at the pagoda on the opposite side and the temple on the other side, then lowered his head and seriously checked the lotus pond.
"How deep is the pool?" Zhao Yu looked at it for a long time, and suddenly asked.
"It's different!" replied the old worker immediately, "the central part is the deepest, and in some places it can reach one and a half meters, but most of it is less than one meter!"
"What's at the bottom of the pool?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Hmm...... "The old worker wondered, "what else could there be?"
"There are fish!" the director hurriedly said, "There are also big carps, there must be dozens of them......! You mean, someone is stealing fish?"
"Director, this is not a precious koi, what is it worth?" the old worker shook his head and said, "It's all carp, crucian carp, and turtles released by the pilgrims!"
"Little Zhao'er, what do you want! ...... in this water" Liang Huan looked at Zhao Yu's eyes, as if he was looking at a mentally ill person.
"Lao Liang, you can help me find someone to check the electricity meter of their Golden Buddha Temple immediately," Zhao Yu said very seriously, "Give me the details of their electricity consumption here for the past month!"
"What? Check the electricity bill?" you ......" Liang Huan understood what Zhao Yu meant, and hurriedly said, "Do you suspect that someone has pumped water from the pool......?" Is it possible?"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" Zhao Yu roared, Liang Huan naturally didn't dare to provoke him, and quickly took out the phone.
"Wait a minute!" Who knows, the director of the scenic spot suddenly stopped Liang Huan and said, "Our accountant has a breakdown of electricity bills! I have seen it, she has the APP of the Electric Power Bureau on her mobile phone, and she can see it as soon as she opens it......! Wait a minute!"
As he spoke, the director of the scenic spot stood up and made a call, and while making a call, he waved his hand to the woods on the right.
Zhao Yu looked along his gesture, and then saw that there was a row of beautiful small houses in the depths of the woods, which should be the office area of the scenic spot.
"Accountant Wang, hurry up, come here, there is a police officer here who needs to check something!" In order to let the people in the distance see clearly, the director also stood on tiptoe, "Yes, I'm next to the lotus pond, have you seen me......?"
After speaking, the director hung up the phone and said to Zhao Yu and the others: "Come on, come on, as soon as the mobile phone is turned on, the water and electricity bills are all clear at a glance!"
Soon, the woman who thought she was plump came to everyone with her mobile phone, and at the director's signal, she opened the software on her mobile phone.
As a result, Zhao Yu hadn't looked carefully, and the director of the scenic spot was the first to be stunned:
"I'm rubbing, why are there so many electricity bills?
When Zhao Yu and the others watched it again, everyone also felt that something was wrong, because, according to the electricity consumption details, on the day the surveillance video was transferred, the electricity consumption in the scenic spot significantly exceeded the electricity consumption in other periods.
It is obvious that high-power electrical appliances were used in the scenic area that day.
The same is true for water meters, which also reached a high peak on the same day, far exceeding normal times.
"Wouldn't it!?" Liang Huan was dumbfounded, "Could it be that someone came here at night, drained the water in the pool, and then put in new water? Are they a bunch of neurotics, or are they ...... Or do you want to find something in the pool? ......?"
Suddenly, Liang Huan remembered the Golden Buddha and hurriedly pressed Zhao Yu's arm. That means asking Zhao Yu, could it be that the twelve golden Buddhas are hidden in this ancient lotus pond?
"Impossible!?" At this time, the simple-looking security guard next to him scratched his head, "I have seen pumping water from the pool before, and it was so loud, if there was such a big movement in the middle of the night, it was impossible for us not to know......? Someone's playing a prank, isn't it?"
"Impossible!" said the old worker, "I have also pumped water during maintenance before, don't look at this pool is not big, but if you want to use a pump to drain it all, it will take at least two days and two nights!"
"No!" Accountant Wang suddenly said, "How can such a large amount of electricity be consumed by one water pump?" Looking at this value, at least seven or eight units must be used, right?"
"Maybe ......" Liang Huan had become extremely excited, and immediately pointed to the lotus pond and guessed, "They don't have to drain all the water, they only need to pump some of it! They must be looking for something below!" Director," Liang Huan turned to the director of the scenic spot and asked, "Do you have any older docents or experts here?" Hurry up and ask, what is under this pool?"
"Oh, good, good!" The director of the scenic spot realized that the stakes were very high, and he was already sweating profusely.
"Okay, don't bother with that!" Zhao Yu stopped the director of the scenic spot and said to everyone, "Hurry up, take out all your water pumps, let's pump again! Maybe when the water is drained, all will be understood!"
