Chapter 1172: Transfer the Dead Female Corpses
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the afternoon, with the arrival of the forensic team led by Zhang Peipei, the bank of the Baisha River opposite the Seven Star Hanging Coffins bustled with noise and excitement.
The forensic team brought professional equipment with them. They needed to transfer the bodies before the sun fell.
When the people on the opposite bank heard that the female corpses were about to be taken out of the coffins, they grew excited. More people came to watch the police working on the cliff.
The local police tried their best to maintain order. The coffins were hung on the high cliff, which could not be blocked. The reporters were aiming their large Canon cameras at the cliff.
It could be imagined that the news of the mysterious female corpses suddenly appearing in the Seven Star Hanging Coffins would spread across the country overnight.
Realizing this, Zhao Yu understood why the Criminal Department sent his team to deal with the case.
The case would cause big headlines. If the police couldn’t find out the truth as soon as possible, the pressure coming from the media would be unbearable.
At that moment, the scaffold and elevator for aerial work were set up on the cliff. Zhang Peipei’s forensic team, accompanied by the police, took the elevator to the bottom of the cliff and headed for the first hanging coffin.
Seeing someone going down the cliff, the people on the other side of the river could not help but make a commotion. Some even screamed.
Zhao Yu looked at the shouting crowd and frowned. “These people have nothing better to do? Why are they so interested in our work?”
Miao Ying stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the forensic experts working with the corpses carefully, and said, “It’s different. The hanging coffins are a mystery, especially for the local people. Of course they are curious about what’s inside the coffins. Dead bodies suddenly appeared in them. They want to come and have a look.”
Zhao Yu sighed. “The hanging coffin case suddenly became an open and transparent thing. I’m afraid that if the case is really a murder case, the attention from the media will be harmful to our investigation. Even a fool knows to run away after committing a murder, let alone a criminal smart enough to hide bodies in the hanging coffins.”
At that time, Cui Lizhu was almost lying on the edge of the cliff. “Boss,” she said to Zhao Yu. “This reminds me of someone. Do you remember Ma Laodan in Jinping?”
“Huh? Ma Laodan?” Zhao Yu didn’t know why Cui Lizhu suddenly mentioned someone irrelevant to the case.
Seeing Zhao Yu frowning and shaking his head, Cui Lizhu explained. “Ma Laodan once told me about the hanging coffins when he was in Jinping…”
Cui Lizhu tried to remember that moment and said, “He said that drug dealers in Southeast Asia especially liked to put bodies in hanging coffins on a cliff after killing people. He also said that when one of his buddies went to Thailand to do business, he was threatened by a drug trafficker like this.”
Zhao Yu listened to her and didn’t say anything.
Cui Lizhu looked at the black hanging coffins under the cliff and said, “After all, hanging coffins are also coffins for the dead. Typically, people won’t open a coffin.
“I was wondering if it was god’s idea that such a coincidence happened. You know, the falling wiring pole breaking the coffin lid and people finding the female corpse in the coffin. Such a coincidence!”
“I think all the girls in the coffin were killed,” she continued. “They were innocent people. They want us to find the murderer and take revenge for them. Boss, if that’s the case, we must catch the murderer and put him in jail for his whole life.”
“Cui…” Miao Ying opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but a scream came from the opposite riverside.
The three had to stop temporarily and looked down the cliff.
It turned out that at that moment, the forensic team had opened the coffin lid of the first hanging coffin. Some people were taking photos and videos, while others put their hands into the coffin.
The people on the opposite riverside could not see the situation unfolding, but Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, and Cui Lizhu could see what was inside the coffin clearly.
In the coffin, there was a young girl in a dark blue shroud, which was too large for her. The cover was embroidered with red flowers and patterns of dragons and phoenixes.
The girl was not tall. Lying in a huge coffin, she seemed petite.

There was no headscarf on her head, and her long hair was like a waterfall.
Zhao Yu and the others couldn’t see her face clearly. They could only see that under the big shroud, the girl’s feet were bare.
“This is so weird,” Zhao Yu thought.
For him, it seemed that he had only seen this kind of thing in horror films and thrillers.
At that time, due to time constraints, the forensic experts simply checked the female corpses in the coffins. They then began carrying out the transfer work.
In order to prevent the bodies from rapidly rotting in the air, they used vacuum bags to wrap the bodies.
For convenience’s sake, they did not take the bodies out of the hanging coffins, but put them into the bags while still in the coffins.
The body bag was opaque, so the audience in the distance couldn’t see what the corpses looked like. When the body bags were finally carried back to the cliff, the audience was undoubtedly disappointed.
“Group leader Zhao…” As Zhao Yu watched the police carrying the corpses, Zhang Peipei, wearing a suit, appeared in front of him and said, “Please do me a favor.”
“Oh, of course.” Zhao Yu hurriedly stood up as he replied.
Zhang Peipei said, “As you can see, the equipment here is terrible. So is the preservation method. Carrying corpses for long distances is not a good idea for us. So, now we can only race against time and transport the bodies to the county criminal police department for autopsy.”
Zhao Yu nodded. “I’ve informed them. They say they can make sure everything is set at a constant temperature and humidity, but they can’t perform vacuum sterility.”
“Ok, so we need to finish the autopsy as soon as possible, before the corpses decompose, to find the cause of death,” Zhang Peipei said without any emotion.
Zhao Yu nodded and asked, “What else do you need?”
“The equipment and tools we brought with us work well, but seven bodies are too much for our team, so…” Zhang Peipei responded.
“I see.” Zhao Yu picked up his phone and said, “I’ll have them send all the local forensic doctors to help you. You can distribute tasks to them. Is that ok?”
Zhang Peipei nodded. “Thank you. I need two groups of people. One comes to the cliff to help, and the other goes to the county criminal police’s autopsy room to wait for the work to come.”
Zhao Yu immediately made an ok gesture.
“Group leader! Group leader.” someone called.
Suddenly, Zeng Ke ran toward them from a distance, holding his laptop.
“Huh? Peipei…” Zeng Ke recognized Zhang Peipei at a glance and was stunned for a moment.
“Hi.” Zhang Peipei greeted him. The next moment, she passed Zeng Ke and went to direct the work.
“Well…” Zeng Ke turned around and stared at Zhang Peipei’s back.
“Zeng Ke…” Zhao Yu said with a wicked smile, “Haven’t you dated her? Do you want me to help you?”
“Um… No, no.” Zeng Ke just remembered what he was going to ask Zhao Yu for. He ran to Zhao Yu excitedly and said, “Look, I compared the picture of the female corpse in the hanging coffin with the missing person database. I found this just now.”
“Ah?” Hearing this, Zhao Yu was shocked and asked, “This girl is a missing person? If so, then…”
“Oh my God.” Cui Lizhu covered her mouth sadly.
Miao Ying also clenched her fist and said in a trembling voice, “I get it. They were not put in the coffins after they died of natural causes. This may be a major murder case.”
