Chapter 158: Chestnut in the Fire
Yu Qian once again stepped into the crematorium of the funeral home, but unlike last time, this time it was Zhengda Guangming who walked in.
Compared to Yu Qian, Ren Yuan's work clothes didn't fit well, both of them disguised themselves as workers, but his amazing arm circumference was about to tear his clothes, and he could hear the sound of the seams tearing when he moved a little.
After Jiang Ziwen reported the action plan, the funeral home was notified to the disaster department. Intervened in the name of the city hall and the fire brigade, while Ren Yuan investigated in the name of maintenance personnel. The funeral home left a crematorium to hand over to the two.
"You say, if there is really a problem, then why was it so easy for me to find so many things last time?" Yu Qian asked Ren Yuan in a low voice as he walked towards the funeral parlor on the top of the mountain
"What's so strange about this, even if you see that you are suspicious at best, it can't be anything." Ren Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If this funeral parlor is built, the person behind the scenes is really Meng Wei. And Meng Wei is related to the Advent faction, so the relative defensive measures must also be aimed at the Inhumans and the Ministry of Disasters. ”
"Do you think, you've been a police officer for so many years, do you usually consider the possibility of an alien when you handle cases? Similarly, the Adventists would not have expected that ordinary police officers would come to investigate this. ”
"It's different, I won't think about it, because I don't know about the existence of Inhumans. Could it be that the Adventists are not aware of the existence of normal people? ”
Ren Yuan laughed, "What do you think the Advent Sect is, but it's just a group of flies and dogs, it's good to be able to perceive the disaster ministry against them, and I really think they can take care of everything." ”
The two of them muttered quietly as they walked, and soon they had reached the door of the crematorium.
"Two, this is the crematorium, is there anything else I need to do?" The worker who led the way unlocked the door and turned to the two of them
"No need, that's bothering you, pretty boy, delaying you from work." Yu Qian handed over a box of cigarettes, "After that, we'll deal with it ourselves." ”
"This is an automatic crematorium, you can use it, right?"
Ren Yuan patted the canvas bag full of tools and said with a smile: "Dude, what are you talking about, we are professional." ”
The staff of the funeral home looked at him and didn't say anything, and handed the key to the two, "After you finish the inspection, just put the key in the guard room, and then don't forget to register and report, I'll go first." ”
The worker took Yu Qian's cigarette and put it in his pocket, turned around and left.
"Then let's get started." Ren Yuan took the lead and walked in: "Which furnace did you find a problem that day?" ”
"I mean, do you really know what this thing does?" Yu Qian hurriedly followed, stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the stoves, "This is the stove." ”
"What's going to happen, just go in and see. Besides, how complicated it can be, if it doesn't work, just ask the manufacturer to send two people over to fix it. Ren Yuan walked to the stove with a big grin, stretched out his hand and knocked on it casually, and then lifted the iron door where the bones were collected.
Suddenly, a wave of heat swept out of the air, mixed with the burnt aroma left by the high-temperature denaturation of proteins. The funeral parlor here has just closed, and the huge crematorium has not yet completely cooled down, and the exposed furnace mouth is spewing hot air like a living thing.
Carefully twitching his nose and sniffing, Ren Yuan couldn't help but change his face, "Old fish, what time do they get off work?" ”
"Half an hour ago, right?" Yu Qian looked at his watch, which was exactly six o'clock, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Is the crematorium open in the afternoon now?" Ren Yuan asked puzzled
"In the afternoon..."Yu Qian reacted suddenly, "how can there be a funeral in the afternoon, why is this stove hot?" ”
"That worker is far away?"
"It's too late to chase now." Yu Qian stretched out his hand and pressed the communicator, "Ziwen, you communicate with the person in charge of the funeral home, check how many times the furnace was opened this afternoon, and when the last furnace ended." ”
"Roger, wait for me for a few minutes."
Here, Ren Yuan looked at it and said, "Even if they open a furnace before getting off work, it's not right." The smell was so faint that it didn't look like it had just burned a corpse, but it looked like it had been burned empty. ”
Yu Qian pondered for a moment and asked, "Could it be because we said we were going to come over for maintenance, so they tried it to see if there was a problem first?" ”
"What are you kidding, aren't they still burning in the morning? Is it necessary to burn it again before the end of the day? Ren Yuan denied Yu Qian's opinion, "Don't worry about these for now, let's go in and have a look." I had a guess from your description, but I'll have to see it for myself. ”
At this time, Jiang Ziwen's feedback was also sent in time: "The last furnace in the afternoon was burned at 2:45, and there was no arrangement after that." ”
"Okay, I got it, keep in touch, and notify us if there is anything abnormal." Yu Qian took out his mobile phone and wrote down the time in it.
Ren Yuan threw the canvas bag aside, took out a bracket to support the iron door, took off his heavy coat and got in.
Arriving at the main incineration room from this side was much closer than Yu Qian climbing in from behind, and soon he climbed to his destination, and he also saw the huge spout in Yu Qian's mouth.
Ren Yuan lay on his side and turned his head on the metal plate, took a flashlight and looked around in detail, and it was really the same as what Yu Qian had seen before. Eerie round bearings, a huge spout in the center, and the dull pounding sound of metal plates.
Because the stove should have been fired just now, the iron plate under him was still emitting heat. Ren Yuan stared at the huge metal spout in front of him, took off his gloves and moistened his index finger, reached in and swept around, stained off all the white powder attached to it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Sure enough, it seems that my guess is basically correct. But what to do with this board? ”
…
Yu Qian, who was guarding outside, looked down at his watch from time to time, Ren Yuan had been in it for almost ten minutes, and he didn't know what was going on inside. Raised his hand and pressed the switch, and was about to ask Ren Yuan what was going on inside, but he heard a sound of footsteps approaching.
He hurriedly reached out and pressed the pistol on his waist, hid half of his body behind the pillar, stared at the door, and whispered
"Ren Yuan, someone is here."
"I'll take a while, you be careful, if it's an unrelated person, send him away."
Before Yu Qian could answer, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a slightly old voice sounded outside the door
"I'm Lao Li, the doorman at the front door, who of you called me over?"
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, held his back waist and moved to the door, and it was the doorman Lao Li standing outside the door. After work, Lao Li is one of the few staff on duty in the entire funeral home.
"Who called you here?" Yu Qian opened the door and asked
"Huh? Didn't you call the reception room and say you asked me to bring some pliers? Lao Li looked at Yu Qian confused
"Tell you to send pliers? How is it possible, we have a complete set of tools. ”
"Wasn't that your call?" Lao Li was also surprised
"Where do we know the phone number in the communication room?"
"Well, whether it's you or not, I brought you pliers." Lao Li handed the pliers in his hand to Yu Qian: "Aren't you two people?" What about the other person? ”
"He went to the bathroom." Yu Qian casually responded, "If you have nothing to do, just leave, we still have to work." ”
"Then you guys are busy." Lao Li didn't want to stay here longer, so he had to leave
"Wait a minute, who's calling you?"
"If it's not you, it's probably the two workers on duty. They always use the pliers and wrenches at home, and they may be afraid that you will not find them when you want to use them, so they ask me to send them over. Lao Li added: "I'll go back and check the caller ID in a while." ”
Looking at the pliers in his hand, he just wanted Jiang Ziwen to check who was calling, and suddenly woke up and shouted, "Not good!" "Rushed to the crematorium, but unfortunately it was too late. The sound of mechanical transmission crackled, and the heavy metal door was lifted upward, and the shelves supporting the iron door fell to the ground. Immediately after that, there was a "bang" and it was slammed down.
Yu Qian shouted a warning to Ren Yuan in the communication channel as he reached out to lift the metal furnace door. Unexpectedly, as soon as the crematorium was started, there was a secret lock inside the door that fastened the door, and it was categorically impossible to open before it burned out for an hour. No matter how Yu Qian pulled and kicked, the thick furnace door was immovable.
Soon the whole stove was heating up, and the burning sound was whirring, and the harsh red light seeped out of the cracks, and there was no response from Ren Yuan in the communicator. Yu Qian didn't care about anything else, took out his pistol and fired several shots at the furnace door, and the bullets scattered on the furnace door, which had no effect at all. Yu Qian couldn't help but think that if what he was holding in his hand at this moment was Ren Yuan's 22-millimeter caliber trial, maybe it would be of some use.
"Ziwen! Can you listen to Ziwen? Can you hack into the funeral home's computer and stop this CNC crematorium? Yu Qian yelled at the communicator
"Impossible! Crematoriums are all independent LANs, and there is no way to do anything other than the main control computer, and it is useless in the wireless network coverage. Jiang Ziwen shouted anxiously in the communication channel, "I have already reported it, and immediately let the mercenary team rush over." ”
"Gan! You ask them to bring an urn! Yu Qian was so angry that he went crazy, and when they rushed to Ren Yuan's ashes, it was estimated that they would be cold.
Lao Li, who hadn't had time to go far outside the door, suddenly heard the gunshots coming from the house, was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and ran back and bumped into Yu Qian, who was in a hurry to come out to chase him.
"How do you shut down the incinerator?" Yu Qian grabbed Lao Li's collar and asked angrily
"Yes, yes, in the back room, don't you know who repairs the stove?"
"Don't talk nonsense, human lives matter! Will you turn it off? Come with me. Yu Qian didn't care about what Lao Li said, he dragged him and ran back, and the two staggered into the control room behind, only to see the air window of the control room wide open, and there was a high stool underneath.
Yu Qian pointed to the incinerator and drank it at Lao Li
"Close it!"
Then he flew up the stool and saw through the window a man in a navy blue overalls running down the mountain. Yu Qian didn't even think about it, and yelled, "Stop, don't move!" "Raise the gun and shoot, and shoot three times in the back of the other party.
Lao Li wanted to shirk that he wouldn't fiddle with this stove, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the man with a fierce face in front of him shoot directly. Suddenly frightened, he dared to say no, and slapped his mouth fiercely, knocking his frightened blank brain back to his senses. Staring closely at the control panel of the stove, he began to rack his brain for the words he heard in his usual small talk.
"Fang's is come on... What is green? Emergency braking, emergency braking... Why are both red? ”
Yu Qian's second and third shots hit the fleeer's ass and thigh, respectively. The latter rolled and fell to the ground with a wail, and saw that he could not get up. Turning his head to see that Lao Li was still chanting words to the control panel, he couldn't help but shout angrily
"What are you doing! Shut it down! ”
"Both buttons are red, I don't know which one to press!" Lao Li was so anxious that he was sweating
"!" Yu Qian jumped off the stool and stepped forward to hammer one of the buttons, but after waiting for a few seconds, he only heard the crackling sound of the stove and did not mean to stop, and punched the other button with his backhand.
Suddenly, the whirring and mixed sound of flames gradually became quieter, and Yu Qian dropped Lao Li, who was sitting on the ground, and ran to the front hall.
