Chapter 386 The Secret of the Lotus Pond
Soon, the director of the scenic spot found all the two security guards on duty that night and the workers in charge of lotus.
The two security guards didn't seem to think the matter was serious, so they confessed to their dereliction of duty and admitted that they did sleep in the guard room that night!
The two of them did not patrol that night, nor did they watch any surveillance, and they slept until dawn.
Liang Huan repeatedly asked them insincerely if there was any "special" situation? But the two of them insisted that they didn't know anything except sleeping!
Hearing this, the owner of the scenic spot couldn't hold his face and immediately scolded the two security guards, saying that it would be fine to go to bed at night, and the other security guards would sleep, but others would patrol at least once or twice at night, but you lie down and sleep, so lazy that you are home!
After scolding, Zhao Yu asked them to take him to the Lotus Pond to check it out.
On the way to the lotus pond, the old worker told Zhao Yu about the situation at that time, saying that when he found something was wrong with the lotus, it was early in the morning that day. At that time, he was going to salvage the garbage in the pond, but suddenly found that many lotus flowers seemed to have been moved and became crooked!
"There was no wind or rain that night," the old worker said affirmatively, "It could not be because of natural reasons. Not only did the lotus move, but many petals were also knocked off, which seemed particularly scattered! Oh... Later, we went down to check and found a situation!"
When the old worker suddenly remembered the situation, the director was slightly stunned and asked: "Lao Jiang, what do you mean? What did you find? Why haven't I heard you say it?"
"Well... the water level is different!" the old worker frowned and said, "At that time, the water level of the lotus pond was one foot lower than before, and you could clearly see the previous water level line!"
"Ah?" the director frowned again, "Did you guys have been pumping out for those days? If there is less water, the lotus will naturally dissipate?"
"No? The pumps are all in the warehouse! They didn't move, and not only did they not pump, we also added a lot of water later!" the old worker replied.
The journey was not far, just as everyone was talking, they had already arrived at the lotus pond in front of the Golden Stupa.
The area of this ancient lotus pond is not large, and it is a 8-shaped shape. There is also a small bridge for lotus viewing in the middle. The water of the pond is extremely turbid, and it is difficult to see how deep the pond is.
However, as the saying goes, lotus comes out of the mud and is not stained. Although the water in the pond is turbid, the lotus in the pond is blooming in a competition of beauty and beauty, which is particularly beautiful!
Zhao Yu squatted beside the pond, first looked at the pagoda opposite and the temple on the other side, then lowered his head and carefully checked the lotus pond.
"How deep is the water in the pond?" Zhao Yu looked for a while and suddenly asked.
"It's different!" the old worker immediately replied, "The central part is the deepest, and some places can reach 1.5 meters, but most places are less than one meter!"
"What's at the bottom of the pool?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Well... Ni'er?" the old worker was puzzled, "What else can I do?"
"There are fish!" the director quickly said, "There are dozens of big carp! Police officer, is it... what do you mean is someone stealing fish?"
"Director, we are not a precious koi, what is the money worth?" the old worker shook his head and said, "It's all the carp and crucian carp released by the pilgrims, and turtles!"
"Little Zhao'er, what are you thinking! In this water..." Liang Huan looked at Zhao Yu's eyes as if he was looking at a mentally ill person.
"Lao Liang, please help me find someone to check their electricity meter at Jinfo Temple," Zhao Yu said very seriously, "Check out their electricity usage details for the past month!"
"What? Check the electricity bill? You..." Liang Huan understood what Zhao Yu meant and hurriedly said, "Do you suspect someone had smoked water for the pond? Is this... possible?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Zhao Yu yelled, and Liang Huan naturally didn't dare to mess with him, so he quickly took out the phone.
"Wait a minute!" Unexpectedly, the scenic spot director suddenly stopped Liang Huan and said, "Our accountant has electricity bill details! I have seen that there is an app from the Electricity Bureau on her mobile phone, and you can see it as soon as you open it! You... wait a moment!"
As he said that, the director of the scenic spot stood up and called. While making a phone call, he waved his hands to the woods on his right.
Zhao Yu looked along his gesture and then saw that there was a row of beautiful small houses deep in the woods, which should be the office area of the scenic area.
"Accountant Wang, hurry up, come here, there is a police officer here who needs to check something!" In order to let people from afar see clearly, the director even stood on tiptoe, "Yes, I'm right next to the lotus pond. Have you seen me? Okay..."
After saying that, the director hung up the phone and said to Zhao Yu and others: "Here, come, as soon as the phone is turned on, the water and electricity bills are all clear at a glance!"
Soon, the woman who thought she was plump in shape came to everyone with her mobile phone. At the director's instructions, she opened the software on her mobile phone.
As a result, Zhao Yu had not read it carefully yet, and the director of the scenic spot was stunned first:
"Damn, why are you so much electricity bill? Are you going to be crazy? Is this?"
When Zhao Yu and others watched again, everyone felt something was wrong, because, according to the electricity consumption details, on the day the surveillance video was adjusted, the electricity consumption in the scenic area significantly exceeded the electricity consumption in other periods.
It is obvious that high-power electrical appliances were used in the scenic area that day.
In addition, the same is true for the water meter. On the same day, the water consumption reached a peak, far exceeding the usual period.
"No way!?" Liang Huan was stunned. "Did someone run here at night, drain the water from the pool, and then put it in the new water? Are they a bunch of psychopaths, or... or do they want to find something in the pool? Could it be..."
Suddenly, Liang Huan remembered the Golden Buddha and hurriedly held Zhao Yu's arm. That meant he was asking Zhao Yu, could it be that the twelve Golden Buddhas were hidden in this ancient lotus pond?
"Impossible!" At this time, the security guard next to him who looked stupid scratched his head, "I have seen pumping water for the pool before, and the sound is loud. If there is such a big noise in the middle of the night, we will not know? This... is someone making a prank, right?"
"Impossible!" said the old worker, "I used to pump water during maintenance. Although the pool is not big, it takes at least two days and two nights to drain it with a water pump!"
"No!" Unexpectedly, the Accountant Wang suddenly said, "How could such a large amount of electricity be produced by a water pump? Judging from this value, at least seven or eight units, right?"
"It's also possible..." Liang Huan was already particularly excited and pointed to the Lotus Pond and guessed, "They don't have to drain all the water, they just need to pump some of it! They must be looking for something below! Director," Liang Huan turned to the scenic spot director and asked, "Do you have any older tour guides or experts here? Ask quickly, what's under the pool?"
"Oh! OK! OK!" The director of the scenic spot realized that the matter was of great importance and was already sweating profusely.
