Chapter 30: The Empty Coffin Declassified

After the preliminary verification of the patrol, I and the four insiders were not suspected of robbing the tomb, so it was okay soon, but the matter was not over so quickly, because it would not be a single incident, so the police began to investigate the recently buried graves in the park on a large scale, mainly the coffins buried in the last month, and after the investigation of the cemetery staff, there were seven coffins buried in the past month.

The patrol will not dig up the seven coffins one by one, but first use a scientific method called sonar imaging to conduct the first round of investigation of the seven coffins, after the bold exploration of sonar, and the final image data, it was confirmed that there are seven coffins in the seven coffins without corpses, no stolen coffins, and the corpses have been almost decomposed.

The patrol notified the families of the other seven coffins and asked them to come to the scene to cooperate with the police, and the juvenile offender was also one of the seven stolen coffins, so he had to go through the same process, open the coffin and see clearly the inside of the other seven coffins, there is also a hole at the bottom of the seven coffins, and there is one thing in common, these seven coffins are all funerals held in the director's private funeral home.

All the clues point to the curator and his funeral home, he must not be able to escape this matter, but when the patrol went to find him, he himself was not in China, and he needed to return to China before he could cooperate with the investigation, and the curator would not return to China so soon, he was about to get an Australian green card, that is, he could stay in Australia legally for a period of time.

I investigated the seven coffins where the bodies were stolen, and found some very important places, all seven coffins had a small hole in the bottom, and then the bodies were stolen before they were buried in the ground, and I also found a very important place, that is, all four bodies were buried when the temperature was low.

"What are you doing?" Ali called me, one of the casual workers who helped me dig up the coffin, a down-to-earth local.

"I'm thinking about solving the case, what's wrong?" I can only stop thinking and answer Ali's question with the most standard answer, this is the most troublesome thing I have encountered since I went down the mountain, I am still thinking about the seven empty coffins in the cemetery, and finally wait until the curator shows his flaws, and the main culprit of this corpse robbery gang can be caught, so it will take a lot of time to deduce.

Just when I was trying to think about these cases, Ali called me and asked me to help him get a wash basin in the dormitory, I immediately went to Ah Li's dormitory, as a kind outsider, I agreed to help open the wash basin, I was doing these things when I was in the Lingshan Taoist Temple before.

Luckily, it's just a washbasin, and I don't think I'll be able to stand it if I go somewhere else.

I took a long bamboo stick from the barbecue stall and poked at the drain of the basin, and finally clamped up the hair that was blocked in the pipe, if these hairs blocked the drain of the sewer, then I had to find a master to unclog it, I looked at the position of the basin, it was on the outdoor balcony, and the drain hole made me associate with the empty coffin, but I didn't know what was wrong.

"What are you thinking? What will you eat? "Ali appeared directly from me, he swallowed a cigarette and smoked, I haven't seen anyone smoking for a long time, and Uncle Zu himself doesn't smoke.

As far as I can remember, my grandfather was the only person who could smoke

"It's nothing, the thought of you washing outdoors every day, can you stand it?." I turned around and snuffed out Ali's cigarette, which was not considered a threat, but I was often trying to help the police solve the case, and now many things could not be unraveled, especially the weight of the coffin was suddenly dropped.

I snuffed out the cigarette with my thumb and forefinger, startling Ali, and it took him a while before he spoke.

"I'll tell you a funny thing, once the water in the wash basin didn't let me go, and it froze up overnight, and then waited for the temperature to rise, and the ice blocked on it disappeared." Ali laughed and told me about it, he thought it was just some messy things to share between friends, but he inadvertently inspired me.

I finally understood something, how the coffin kept the same weight as the corpse after the body was stolen, and it didn't have to be opened to remove the contents of the coffin, everything started with the small hole at the bottom of the coffin.

I explained my itinerary to Ali for today, and then immediately went to the patrol bureau in the town and proposed the answer I had already thought of, which could explain the empty coffin in the cemetery, and the coffin that was brought back to the patrol bureau became the key clue and evidence.

In fact, the curator and his gang stole the body before the coffin nail hit the coffin board, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, especially the coffin plus the weight of the corpse, so the curator used ice cubes instead of corpses, the ice cubes will melt away, under normal circumstances, the deceased's family does not need to open the coffin again, so the curator opened a hole at the bottom of the coffin, so that the meltwater of the ice cubes can flow out, so as to complete the entire process of stealing the body.

The criminal investigators also confirmed this matter, because the burial goods inside the coffin and the surface of the coffin have traces of being soaked in stagnant water, and the small holes at the bottom of each coffin have some slaked lime that dissolves when it encounters water, and the ice and meltwater should also disappear after the temperature warms up during this time.

And the funeral home staff of the curator provides another clue, that is, after someone leaves, the person responsible for carrying the coffin is often replaced, all of them are some outsiders, they find different people every time, and it seems normal that the person who carries the coffin is different, but in our funeral industry, not everyone can carry the coffin, and it takes someone with a relatively hard figure to carry the coffin, but the curator has been looking for some workers to carry the coffin recently, and this thing is not right.

Later, the doorman also provided a clue, that is, there was an insider who often came to the curator, he had been working as a night watchman in the funeral home recently, and every time he waited for the coffin and the deceased until dawn, and each time he used a different excuse to ask the family not to open the coffin board, and then let the coffin be nailed immediately.

After that, according to the existing clues, the patrol bureau immediately went to search for this insider who was very close to the curator, and at the same time, under the authorization of the official road, conducted a comprehensive search of the funeral home and residence operated by the curator, and found a small electric drill in the director's office, on which some fragments of Liuzhou wood were found.

The matter was already moving in the right direction, and the immigration officer, knowing that the curator might be suspected of committing a crime, rejected his immigration application, and then assisted the town police in arresting the curator.
