"It turns out... it's the police!"
As soon as he heard that Zhao Yu was a policeman, Master Zhang's fear was relieved a lot, but his mood plummeted and he suddenly withered.
"Master, let's talk about business next!" Zhao Yu opened his briefcase, took out the photo of the seven-star hanging coffin, and said, "Come and take a look. You should recognize this thing, right?"
"This..." The master stretched his neck and took a look, suddenly showing deep doubts, "Officer, what do you mean? Isn't this the Seven-Star Hanging Coffin in Wuqingshan? I heard that corpses were found there, right? There are many here. People have seen it in the past!
"Um... Oops..." Suddenly, Master Zhang seemed to understand what Zhao Yu meant, and hurriedly defended with clasped fists, "Police officer! Don't think too much. The corpse in the hanging coffin has nothing to do with us." Ah! We just heard about it, we don’t have that much ability... "
"Hmph! You are quite capable!" Zhao Yu put away his smile and asked solemnly, "Let me ask you, do you know anything about this seven-star hanging coffin?"
Afterwards, Zhao Yu was not secretive and immediately told this person about the hanging coffin and the corpse.
"Ah? Is it so evil?" Master Zhang was confused after hearing this. "The seven-star hanging coffin is on the cliff facing the sun. The sun is so strong and the temperature is so high. How can the body not rot? Is it possible? Could it be... that they were all just put inside?"
"I'm asking about the secrets!" Zhao Yu said, "I think I don't need to say anything more, right? For the matter of you drugging me, a prison sentence of more than three years is a certainty!
"However, if you can provide our police with clues about the hanging coffin case, I can consider withdrawing this charge. In that case, the entire nature will change! I think you are not stupid, right?"
"Oh, look at what you said, don't worry, I will tell you everything, and I will never keep anything I know! It's just..." The master frowned and thought hard for a long time, and then said, "The Seven-Star Hanging Coffin is It's something that was left behind by the ancients. It's quite mysterious. People in our industry rarely mention it...
"If you look at it from a Feng Shui point of view, that cliff hides the wind and dew and connects the sky and the earth, so it can be regarded as a treasured Feng Shui land for funerals!
"But...but..." He recalled carefully, and couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows with his fingers, and said, "If you put a girl's body in the hanging coffin and still have the birth date, this...well..."
Zhao Yu saw the master twisting his hands and closing his eyes, and immediately cursed: "Why... do you still want money?"
"No, no!" The master waved his hands hastily, "I don't dare, I don't dare! I just... don't know what to say
"Um..." He reorganized his words and asked, "Officer, are all seven girls virgins?"
"This..." Don't tell me, Zhao Yu has never noticed this before, and has never heard a forensic doctor mention it, so he can only shake his head and say, "I don't know! The body is being dissected. You can ask later... Hmm …What do you mean when you ask that?”
"Oh... just asking!" Master Zhang frowned and said, "This situation, at first glance, looks a bit like being buried with someone of high status!
"But we in the Wuqing Mountain area are descendants of the Zhe people, who believe in cremation, and there are not many corpses left behind. Basically, this method of burial is rarely seen..." The master still twisted his eyebrows and said, "So, it gives me the feeling that Qixing The situation of the hanging coffin is more like extending someone’s life!”
"Oh? Life extension?" Zhao Yu had made this speculation before.
"That's right!" Master Zhang said, "Have you seen "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Then didn't Zhuge Kongming use the seven-star lantern to defy heaven and extend his life? It's a pity that it didn't succeed
"Look, this seven-star hanging coffin represents the Big Dipper. Could it be that it has the same function as the seven-star lantern? It just needs to place the sacrificial corpse in the coffin?"
"This..." Zhao Yu was noncommittal.
"You see, in general, as long as the corpse of a random woman is used for marriage or burial, it's enough, right?" Master Zhang said, "But... here are seven girls, so the meaning is completely different!
"I seem to have heard someone say before that girls who are still virgins are pure yin bodies. Putting the corpses of these girls into hanging coffins must be to pray for continuation of life or longevity!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "Have you done it or seen it before?"
"No! There really is no such thing!" Master Zhang waved his hands quickly, "I have never done anything like this! Don't blame me, everyone I know has never done this!
"As I said just now, all the dead people were sent to the funeral parlor for cremation! There are no corpses at all, so we can't hold the urn and recite the incantation, right?"
"Tsk tsk... Is it so difficult?" Zhao Yu smacked his lips and asked, "Then... do you think that if the corpses in the Seven Stars Hanging Coffin all died accidentally, through what channels should the corpses be obtained?"
"Then it can only be transported from afar!" The master said without hesitation, "Xiakou and Yuejiang really like burials. Could it be that they bought them from there
"If you want to be more cruel, just dig it out of the grave
"But... that is digging graves after all, which damages one's virtue and shortens one's life. Unless one is poor and crazy, no one would do such a thing!"
"Impossible!" Zhao Yu shook his head, "The body showed no traces of freezing. It was transported from hundreds of kilometers away. In such hot weather, the body rotted anyway!"
"That's it..." Master Zhang shook his head, "That's weird! Unless they are all their own children, no one can get so many corpses of young girls!"
have to!
Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He thought he could ask something from this magic stick, but he didn't expect that after asking for a long time, he still asked the same old questions and not a single puzzle was solved!
At this time, Xu Lu, who hit the door frame, and Master Zhang's wife were already showing signs of waking up.
Zhao Yu knew that once they woke up, they would inevitably have to talk a lot more, so he thought of taking the opportunity to ask a few more questions.
Unexpectedly, before Zhao Yu could speak, Master Zhang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly frowned and said, "Huh? Officer, there is something that I feel is not quite right..."
"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Zhao Yu urged, "Where?"
"You just said..." Master Zhang recalled, "Among the corpses of those girls, there were some who died of illness, right?"
"Yes! One of the deceased died of a heart attack!" Zhao Yu nodded.
"Is there another one... who was strangled to death?" Master Zhang asked again.
"Yes!" Zhao Yu was confused, "What's wrong?"
"That's a bit wrong. It's said in "Qi Lun Da Xing" and "Kanyu Xuan Jing"..." Master Zhang actually started to quote scriptures, "If you want to change your destiny against the will of heaven, if you want to use others' longevity, it is very taboo to die of illness. Or someone who died violently!
"Especially those suffering from serious diseases! You see..." He opened his palms and explained, "Originally, it was to pray for longevity, but a person who is terminally ill himself, what else can he say about his longevity?"
"Tsk, tsk..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips. Although what he said was outrageous, Zhao Yu felt that what this guy said was reasonable.
"Such things as cutting one's wrists to commit suicide or drinking pills to commit suicide can still be tolerated!" The master continued, "But being strangled to death or getting into a car accident are also taboo!
"It's fierce and vicious. To use such a brutal death to save one's life is undoubtedly a very bad sign! It will be very detrimental to oneself!"
"So... what you mean..." Zhao Yu shook his head, "In the case of the Seven-Star Hanging Coffin, is it not because someone wants to defy fate and extend his life?"
"It's hard to say!" Master Zhang said in embarrassment, "There is also a possibility called - being hungry and not choosing what to eat!"
"Yes! Yes!" Zhao Yu pointed at him with her finger, and these words just hit Zhao Yu's heart. Zhao Yu also had the same idea and said, "It's possible that this person is already terminally ill and will die soon! He is anxious to survive, so he doesn't care about taboos... "
