Chapter 59 Groove Interface
Chapter 59 Groove Interface
After thinking for a long time with his chin in his hand, Xu Yiqing suddenly remembered.
It was the day He Yunke's body was found. When Mr. Lin was working overtime in the Forensic Department, he mentioned that there were recent rumors that a ghost was seen wandering in the renovated New Citizen Park.
At that time, Xu Yiqing also taught Lin Sheng that the profession of forensic medicine cannot be superstitious. Once you believe in those weird things, you will develop unnecessary fear of the dead.
Reverence for the dead should be the same as reverence for life itself, not reverence for folk legends.
Mr. Lin actually doesn't believe in these things. He thinks that Fumei Group's investment in the local area will affect many people's cake and cake. Those who don't want to see Fumei Group doing well will spread such news, thereby suppressing Fumei Group's investment.
Now it seems that it may not be as simple as a commercial war.
Xu Yiqing asked: "Tell me, what the hell is this?"
The old security guard was very scared. "When I was guarding the gate, I saw a ghost sitting on this big cement block. It disappeared as soon as I walked past it... I see it every few days!"
"It rained heavily a few days ago. I had to patrol the site every night, even on rainy days. I remember clearly the first time I saw it. It was the last day of the month."
A police officer nearby added: "The last day of the lunar calendar is the dark day."
The so-called dark day is the day with the heaviest yin energy in a month.
The old security guard continued, "I was so scared that my legs started to tremble, but there was nothing I could do. I just shouted, 'Who!' and the ghost disappeared in an instant. I bravely walked around the big cement pier two or three times but didn't see any figure. It was raining heavily, and I would definitely hear a sound if it ran away, but there was no figure or sound, it just disappeared!"
At this point, the old security guard's eyes were filled with more fear, and he trembled all over: "If this isn't a ghost, then what is it? From then on, whenever it rained, I could see a ghost sitting on that big cement pier from a distance when I was on patrol. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go there anymore, and I stopped patrolling on rainy days."
"Didn't they say a few days ago that a dead body was dug out from that big mound? That person must have been killed and felt very resentful. It was raining at night and the gloomy energy was heavy, so he sat there... Don't come looking for me, don't come looking for me..."
The old security guard kept talking a lot, and it was obvious that he was very afraid of ghosts and gods. Just like what Dai Guanghua said, he was a very superstitious person.
Finally, after comforting himself, he somewhat embarrassedly bothered Du Yu: "Police comrade, please don't tell this to my boss. Before he came here, he told me not to gossip... If he knew that I was talking nonsense, he would not let me work here."
"Don't worry, we won't tell."
Du Yu comforted the old security guard and asked him to go back first.
The public security officers were the only ones left in the prefabricated house.
Du Yu tapped his fingers on the table: "Tell us your opinions."
Zhou Shi said: "He has a kind personality and typical traditional thinking. He doesn't seem to be lying. It can be basically determined that what he saw is true, but there is also an element of exaggeration in it."
Xu Yiqing continued: "There are no ghosts in the world. What he saw must be a human."
Du Yu nodded, his expression serious. "It must be the [Cleaner], for sure. Rainy nights are perfect for dumping bodies. He specifically chose a time when there was no one on the road and no one at the construction site. This shows that the [Cleaner] was very good at scouting locations."
Xu Yiqing said: "The security guard also said that he was scared and he no longer dared to patrol on rainy days. [The cleaner] has a whole night and can do a lot of things."
Du Yu frowned, "There is something that I am very concerned about... If it is confirmed that the ghost the guard saw was the [Cleaner] who dumped the corpse to scout the area, then when he first saw it, the guard circled the base many times and was sure that he did not hear any footsteps leaving, so where is the [Cleaner] hiding?"
No one present was stupid. After hearing what Du Yu said, they all realized that the problem was with the concrete base. One police officer was puzzled: "Could it be that the base is empty? In that case, it would be easy to explain how the body was hidden."
Du Yu shook his head: "It is definitely solid. I asked the municipal government to demolish the statue. I was at the scene at the time. The concrete base must be solid."
He Yunke's body was discovered when a citizen was playing in the park and found tiny cracks in some places on the concrete base. Any tiny crack in such a large statue could have caused immeasurable consequences.
When the municipal government went to investigate, they smelled an indescribable stench, so they called the Criminal Police Brigade.
After Du Yu arrived, he acted decisively and asked the municipal government to bring in equipment to dismantle the statue. Only then did he discover the body hidden in the destroyed statue.
Xu Yiqing suddenly asked: "Old Du, I remember it rained heavily the day you found He Yunke's body?"
Du Yu nodded. "Yes, visibility is poor, but I am sure if someone was running in the rain, I would hear it. And if we patrol close to the statue, someone will definitely see it."
Xu Yiqing opened the folder in his hand: "Apart from all impossibilities, what remains is the truth no matter how outrageous it is. I agree that after the guard found the [Cleaner], she did not run away, but hid in the concrete base... But the concrete base is indeed solid. So the design drawing is crucial, if I guess correctly..."
He took out the design and looked at it carefully, and his brows became more and more serious the more he looked.
Du Yu asked expectantly, "What did you see?"
Xu Yiqing handed the design to the technician policeman next to him and said, "I don't understand it. It's true that different trades are like different mountains."
The technician took the blueprint, spread it on the table, looked at it carefully, and then explained to everyone: "This is only the design of the concrete base. The design of the bronze sparrow is not in it."
Du Yu asked: "How can we ensure that there will be no mistakes during the final welding?"
The technician said: "The statue is not welded, but cast with cement. There is a large load-bearing column in the middle of the bronze sparrow, which is inserted into the concrete base and fixed with cement. Of course, one column is definitely not enough, and there will be more grooves and interfaces for fixing on the base. It depends on how many can be used in the end."
Xu Yiqing asked: "What about the other things that are not used?"
The technician pointed to a place on the design drawing. Xu Yiqing couldn't understand it anyway. "The extra space like this is a safety measure. If it's not needed, just seal it up at the end."
Du Yu suddenly had an idea when he heard this: "Seal it with cement?"
The technician nodded: "It should be cement. It depends on how the construction team handles it."
Du Yu picked up the design and asked Xu Yiqing: "Old Xu, do these reserved grooves look familiar to you? Are these numbers the dimensions?"
He asked, pointing to the annotation next to a concave square line on the design drawing.
The technician nodded: "Yes, 560mm is fifty-six centimeters, and the same goes for 720mm."
Xu Yiqing compared and understood what Du Yu meant: "More than fifty centimeters, just about the same size as He Yunke's body parts!"
