On Wuqing Mountain, there is a cliff with seven-star hanging coffins.

After a bumpy journey, Zhao Yu and others finally arrived at this very special crime scene.

At this moment, the bottom of the cliff had been blocked by the police, and all idle people were not allowed to go up the mountain. Therefore, media reporters and curious people who wanted to find out the truth could only go to the river bank opposite the Baisha River and watch the cliff from there.

"Yesterday morning, a group of construction teams installing electric poles were working on the cliff," said a local criminal police captain named Xiong Wendong, who was telling Zhao Yu and others about the incident. "Because digging the pole pit of the electric pole requires drilling rocks, and the impact of the drill bit may cause damage to the hanging coffin.

"So, when President Pang Zhihui of the local Cultural Relics Protection Association received the news, he immediately rushed over to stop him with Officer Ma Fusheng of the Cultural Relics Bureau!

"Who knew that in the process of stopping the construction, the two sides had a dispute and push. Someone accidentally hit the switch of the rod plug machine, causing the telephone pole to fall off the machine and then rolled down the cliff..."

"I'm going...is this a coincidence?"

Zhao Yu pouted and said, then walked carefully to the edge of the cliff with Xiong Wendong.

Although the Seven Star Hanging Coffin is a relatively famous attraction in the local area, it is far away from the town and is really remote. Therefore, there are no protective measures such as railings on this section of the cliff, all of which are original.

"Be careful, sir!" Xiong Wendong reminded Zhao Yu and pointed to the bottom of the cliff. "Look, fortunately, the cliff wall is sunk inward. After the telephone pole fell, it just swept the corner of the uppermost hanging coffin! A small piece of the coffin board was smashed, and the coffin board was staggered from the coffin, causing a corner to be exposed in the coffin!"

"Hey?" Choi Lizhu, who was sharp-eyed, just looked around for a moment, immediately saw the problem, and asked, "No? Isn't this coffin lid closed? Where is there a broken place?"

"Well..." Xiong Wendong quickly explained, "It was the forensic doctors who asked him to close it. The gap was also found by our criminal police team to find someone to fill it. We are worried that if it is exposed for too long, it will accelerate the decay of the corpse inside!"

"Please!" Zhao Yu turned around and glared at Cui Lizhu, "Do you understand the rules? Don't interrupt me randomly, okay? Captain Xiong..." He turned around and said to Xiong Wendong, "Don't pay attention to her, but say it in the order of time development!"

"Oh...oh..." Xiong Wendong was the first time he had come into contact with such a big leader, and he was obviously nervous, "I continued to say from there just now...

"Well... President Pang of the Cultural Relics Protection Association was naturally frightened when he saw the electric pole smashing down, so he quickly ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down!

"At the beginning, he was naturally very angry when he saw the coffin board being smashed open! But..." Captain Bear pointed to the bottom of the cliff, "He looked carefully, but soon found something wrong!

"President Pang once participated in the scientific excavation work in the 1980s. He knew very well that the hanging coffin was empty and there should be nothing!

"But when he looked on, he could clearly see that not only there was something in the coffin, but it was also something similar to that of humans..."

Although the team members present had already understood the general process, they still felt a little cold when they heard Xiong Wendong's story and their hair was standing upright.

"President Pang was frightened! One was that the cultural relics were destroyed, and the other was that something inexplicably appeared in the hanging coffin made him realize that the matter was of great importance, so he called the police on the spot and notified the Cultural Relics Bureau and other relevant units.

"I arrived at the scene as soon as possible. We were carrying a telescope!" Xiong Wendong said with a complicated expression, "The sunlight at that time was just right down, so you can see it very clearly. What you can see in the hanging coffin was a human foot!!!

"You know, we always have some Feng Shui superstitions, and in the eyes of our common people, this hanging coffin is also a more mysterious and sacred thing.

"So, I was really at a loss when I saw this happening in the hanging coffin!" Xiong Wendong said, "The coffin was obviously empty, so how could there be a person lying?

"So, we quickly report it step by step and apply for experts to come and investigate...

"About noon, the city's experts arrived. After preliminary investigation, they unanimously decided to send someone down and open all the coffin boards to view them!

"Then, we helped them find good mountain climbers in the mountains and hang down with ropes..." Xiong Wendong said this, his whole body was soaked in sweat. "As a result, after opening it, we saw a girl's body!

"You should have seen the photos? Although the girl was dead, she looked like she was asleep...

"She looks like she is at most fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing the popular shrouds here, and her feet are bare!" Xiong Wendong told this incredible but extremely strange thing with difficulty. "At that time, the city's experts were also confused!

"They have never seen such a thing before, so they quickly reported it to the provincial department!

"You know, we are too far from the provincial capital and there is no airport. So after learning about this, the provincial department immediately gave two instructions. One was to ask our local forensic doctor to conduct on-site inspections, but try to avoid damaging the scene; the other was to ask us to open other hanging coffins immediately to see what was going on inside!

"The leaders are so wise!" Xiong Wendong sighed, "When we opened other hanging coffins, you have also seen the photos. In each of the seven-mouthed coffins, there was a dead girl in each mouth!!!

"The girls were almost the same as the first one, looking lifelike, and they couldn't tell from the naked eye how long they had been dead, and some of them were still rosy on their cheeks, which made people even mistakenly think that they were still alive!

"This is really... so weird!" Xiong Wendong said this, as if he had used all his strength. He slowed down for a long time before continuing, "So, after all the seven-mouth coffins were opened, we finally realized that this matter was too serious!

"The provincial and department also believes that experts need to be dispatched from all over the country!

"So they immediately ordered us to suspend the autopsy, close the coffin boards first, and wait for the most authoritative experts to come and solve it!" At this point, Xiong Wendong asked Zhao Yu with anticipation, "Sir, please give orders, what should we do next?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu stood up and frowned deeply. The case in front of him was indeed more complicated than he thought!

"Team leader..." At this time, Miao Ying said to Zhao Yu with a serious expression, "I'll contact Zhang Peipei now! I think it would be a bit difficult to deal with such a thing alone!"

"Indeed!" Zhao Yu nodded, "In addition to forensic doctors, we also have to find some experts who often deal with ancient corpses. And..." He looked at the sun and said, "I have to call their provincial department and ask them to send a helicopter to take the forensic team over. We have been wasting a night and can't waste time any more.
