Tourists primarily dominated Wuqing County. Although the county was small, the number of hotels and guesthouses were as abundant as cattle hide. In order to entertain Zhao Yu and his team, the local police station had already arranged the best hotel accommodations for the team.
However, now that various police officers had been dispatched, there would be new information at any time. As the head of the team, Zhao Yu could not go far.
So, he finally decided to stay in the duty room and sleep for a night.
“Huh, these magic sticks…” In the duty room, after Zhao Yu told Miao Ying about the day’s run-in with ghosts, Miao Ying growled, “You were too by the book, you should have dealt with them properly! These people are awful; they can think of many crooked ways to cheat money!”
“These are just some ordinary scammers,” Zhao Yu said, holding Miao Ying’s hands since nobody was in the room. “Those who dared to move the Seven Stars Hanging Coffin are the real powerful people!”
“Using a girl’s body to prolong life? Isn’t that too evil?” Miao Ying sighed, shaking her head. “How can a normal person believe in such a fallacy?”
“I think that the person who wants to go against God’s will must be a wealthy person,” Zhao Yu said. “Otherwise, these professional scammers would not target him, right?
“Well, we all seem to know it’s fake, but it’s completely different if you look at it from the perspective of a dying person. For this rich man, maybe he really thinks you can exchange money for life!”
“Well, my only hope is that this person can be found soon,” Miao Ying prayed, “So that this case can still be solved successfully!”
“But…” Zhao Yu said lazily and tiredly, lying on the bed and embracing Miao Ying’s waist, “I still don’t understand the source of the body!”
“Indeed! If they intentionally killed those people, then at least they should find the corresponding missing information,” Miao Ying concurred, “But so far, we have only managed to find Geng Yaai!”
“I have asked Zeng Ke to check the police records,” Zhao Yu said, “To see if any other girls are involved in this case. But the locals will be cremated whether or not this case exists, so I can’t figure out how the bodies got there.”
“Uhm…” Miao Ying muttered, embracing Zhao Yu’s shoulder. She said thoughtfully, “Dear, then, my previous proposal… would you consider it again? You know, when you were in the north searching for demons, but it immediately got us amazing results!
“Since that was the case, why don’t we release information about the female corpses now and let the public identify the corpses for us?”
“No…” Zhao Yu said in a dilemma. “I don’t want to use this method until I have no other alternatives. I’m not worried about the public’s response. I’m just concerned that if we do that, it will cause problems later on…
“When the middlemen who bought and sold the corpses find out news about the bodies from our release, their first reaction would be to flee or destroy the evidence!
“In that scenario, we end up losing more than we gain!”
“But…” Miao Ying frowned. “The case of the hanging coffins is no longer a secret. If they wanted to run away, I’m afraid they would already have done so?”
“It’s different; there are so many corpses!” Zhao Yu said. “Perhaps this is not the first time the person involved has done this. Although I haven’t touched the corpses, it must be similar to the resale of other contraband.
“If I’m an intermediary who sells contraband, would I let my upper and lower lines meet?”
“Oh…” Miao Ying said. “What you mean is that even if the person who sells the corpses knows the case of the hanging coffins, he does not necessarily know that the bodies in the hanging coffins were the ones he had sold?”
“Yeah… but once the body information is made public…” Zhao Yu said, waving his hands. His voice was becoming weaker and weaker, and he closed his eyes wearily.
“I see, I get it! We can only wait until there are no other alternatives before deciding. Uhm, yes!” Miao Ying said. “Today, Dr. Gao from Forensics found orthopedic braces in the mouth of female corpse number two. The corrector was made of unique material and not mass-produced, it’s pretty special!
“So, I’ve already sent someone to the various dental clinics nearby to confirm, maybe… uhm…”
Before Miao Ying could finish talking, she heard Zhao Yu snoring.
Lowering her head, she realized that Zhao Yu had fallen asleep.
“Uhm, have a good rest, dear!” Miao Ying bent over and kissed Zhao Yu’s forehead gently, her eyes showing a certain tenderness.
Zhao Yu had actually not slept for two days, but neither had Miao Ying. But while Zhao Yu could afford to take this break, Miao Ying could not.
So, after helping Zhao Yu lie down properly, she sorted out her clothes and headed back to the office to work again.
…
At eight the next morning, Zhao Yu, who now had his mind cleared, came to the scene of the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins and conducted another onsite inspection.

Until that day, regarding the three questions he had previously brought up, one had basically been resolved while the others were still undergoing extensive investigation.
Therefore, the purpose of returning to the scene today was to solve the third problem. That was, how exactly did the criminals bring the seven bodies up to the hanging coffins?
So far, the technical team had yet to find any traces of scaffolding or mounting fixtures on the cliffs above or below the hanging coffins.
Since it was not possible to descend from top to bottom or climb from bottom to top, could there really be flying equipment involved?
After compiling the various investigations from before, Zhao Yu wandered around the cliff for more than an hour and once again thought about the several possibilities. But in the end, all of them were refuted by himself.
As Zhao Yu was thinking hard, a noise came from under the cliff.
Zhao Yu quickly looked down, only to see a tugboat at the bottom of the cliff. The tugboat stopped about four to five meters away from the cliff and then faced the back of the boat towards the cliff.
Then, a few sailors came off the boat and jumped into the water with a rope in their hands.
This was…
Zhao Yu lay on the ground and watched carefully, but when he saw the river in front of the cliff, just as President Pang Zhihui had said, it was all muddy shoals. When the people jumped into the water, the water didn’t even go above their thighs.
“Detective Zhao…” Xiong Wendong began, noticing Zhao Yu’s confusion and hurriedly explaining. “They are here to pick up the electrical poles! Municipal companies are really desperate. The poles have already broken in half and they still want to pick them up, haha!”
“Ah… fishing for electrical poles!” Zhao Yu said.
Zhao Yu thought about it seriously while staring at the tugboat below.
Eh?
Suddenly, a surprising thought popped up in his mind. Could it be that the way the criminals had put the bodies in the hanging coffins was somehow related to boats?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu hurriedly said to Xiong Wendong, “Quick! Take me down there! Hurry up!”
“Oh…”
Seeing Zhao Yu’s excitement, Xiong Wendong dared not dally and hurriedly got his men to prepare the car.
The face of the cliff looked very close, but it would take them a long time to reach the bottom.
“Uhm…” Xiong Wendong asked, taking the opportunity after the car began to move, “Detective Zhao, did you find something?”
Just as Zhao Yu was about to answer, the phone rang.
When he opened it, he saw that it was a call from Zeng Ke.
“Leader, leader!” As soon as he answered, Zeng Ke wheezed loudly into the phone. “I found it, I found it!”
“What did you find?” Zhao Yu asked quickly.
“I just checked through WeChat pictures! We found the identity of female corpse number five!” Zeng Ke quickly said. “Her name is Su Lan, and she’s a middle school student who lives in Bei Gang City!”
“Really?” Zhao Yu asked eagerly. “What is her specific situation? Is she a missing person?”
“No, no no no, she’s not!” Zeng Ke replied.
Zeng Ke began to stutter as he spoke. Zhao Yu could tell that Zeng Ke’s stuttering didn’t seem to be caused by excitement, but a faint kind of fear.
“Leader!” Zeng Ke answered, trembling. “We just learned through Su Lan’s family that Su Lan had depression and committed suicide by burning charcoal years ago. She’s already been dead!”
“Oh… already dead…” Zhao Yu said.
“No, no, I haven’t gotten to the point,” Zeng Ke added quickly. “The point is that her family told us very clearly that Su Lan’s body had been cremated. Her parents saw with their very own eyes that she was pushed into the cremator!!”
