Chapter 522 The Bones in the Stone Statue
Four hours later, the entire camping area was cordoned off, and all camping tourists were gathered in the public camping area.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know, it seems like something happened at the small amusement park. I saw the police stopped everyone there.”
< br>“It’s over there at the small amusement park. I was playing there with our children just now, and it seems like someone died there.”
Dead?
The tourists in the camping area didn’t know what was happening, but they all communicated privately about what happened there.
Some people who have been camping here and have never been to the small amusement park don’t know anything. However, there are some parents who accompany their children to play in the small amusement park, and some people take a walk in the afternoon and see the police putting them in the middle of the small amusement park. The fountain was surrounded.
A few people were knocking on the stone statue with tools.
Yang Sen waved his head carefully while looking at Lu Chuan beside him speechlessly.
"Xiao Lu, let me ask you and Dr. Shen, do you have time to go to the temple to worship?"
Lao Bai nodded with great approval.
"Xiao Lu, I think what Lao Yang said is right. You two should really go to a temple to worship. Taoist temples are also fine, but if you can't go to a church, what about the Jade Emperor and Bodhisattva? Buddha, Satan, God, please go and ask for help.”
Lu Chuan: “…”
They didn’t do it on purpose.
I originally wanted to go out and relax, go camping and relax, but I didn't expect that after lunch, I walked around and encountered something like this.
Shen Yan’s judgment was indeed correct. There was indeed something wrong with the stone statue in the fountain.
Normally speaking, the stone statue in the fountain should be solid, but the sound inside is hollow, and the hollow sound is accompanied by echo, indicating that something is probably hidden inside.
Who in the wilderness would hide something inside a stone statue.
Lu Chuan called at that time and contacted the developer of the camping area through the local police station.
According to the developer of the camping area, the statue of the fountain in the middle of the small amusement park is made of stone and was originally carved from a single piece of stone.
Before the camping area was built, this stone statue was already placed in the middle of the fountain.
Since it is carved from a single piece of stone, it will naturally not produce an echo when struck.
So, there must be something wrong here.
But what is the problem, what is inside, and why the solid stone statue turned into a hollow stone statue, Lu Chuan is not sure.
So after thinking that there was something wrong with 3, Lu Chuan called the detachment and asked the criminal police officer on duty to take out a thermal imaging camera from the laboratory of the current investigation office and send it over.
If the stone statue is hollow, no matter what is placed inside, the temperature will definitely be different from the stone. If you scan it with a thermal imager, you may be able to see the outline of the contents inside.
As expected, the thermal imaging camera does work, and the outline of the object it presents... is highly similar to the human body.
"There is a high probability that it is a human being."
As a forensic doctor, Shen Yan knows the structure of the human body best.
Through the outline on the thermal imager, I was able to determine with certainty what was inside.
With this discovery, the entire criminal investigation detachment no longer has to spend the weekend.
Except for the criminal police in the team who worked overtime to sort out the last poisoning case, everyone else came to the camping area.
Qin Yong is now standing outside the fountain with his hands behind his back, watching the four people currently exploring using tools to knock and cut the stone statue.
“The stone statue is in two halves, and there are traces of bonding here.”
The entire stone statue is hollow inside, but it is not hollowed out, but two petals of the stone statue are glued together.
While tapping the stone statue, Yang Sen discovered the gap in the glue.
"It's easier to pry it open here, start here."
The stone statue is tall and bulky, even if it is hollow, it is also very bulky.
In addition to Lu Chuan and others, there is also a crane to help. After about an hour, the stone statue was finally pried open.
Wow!
A withered corpse fell out from inside.
Yang Sen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he suddenly used his back to hold it up. The other three people stepped forward to support him, so that the body was not scattered on the ground.
When the body was taken out, the sky was already a little dark.
"Team Qin, I suggest doing a preliminary site survey here."
Liu Guodong asked Qin Yong for instructions.
This skeleton is different from those found before.
The body was not completely decomposed, but rather seemed to have been dried.
Withered skin wrapped around the bones, wrinkled, without clothes, like a mummy.
Qin Yong nodded. Although it was harder to conduct an on-site investigation, the murderer had gone to such great lengths to hide the body in the stone statue, so it was very likely that he had left some clues.
Taking it back may destroy the clue.
"Operation team, put up the emergency lights."
At the campsite over there, Zhang Hui had already led people to register the information.
A body was found inside the statue in the fountain. People in the camping area are supposed to take statements or make inquiries.
But judging from the shape of the body, it seemed that he had been dead for at least a year or two, so tourists in the camping area were released from quarantine after registering their information.
Bodies were found here, so naturally no one was in the mood to camp here, so everyone drove away one after another.
But just in case, Zhang Hui still left the contact information of these tourists. If there are any clues, these people may be needed to cooperate.
"Captain Qin, everyone over there has been cleared."
Qin Yong nodded. There was a corpse hidden in the stone statue. This was the first time Qin Yong had seen it.
"First make notes for the construction personnel of that year to understand the situation."
"Yes!"
When such a big thing happened, the person in charge of the local police station and the construction party of that year had already I've already been called over.
The person in charge of the construction team is a tall and thin man with a wheat complexion and a simple and honest smile.
“Hello, comrade police, we really don’t know about this matter.”
At the construction site where I was working, there was a body hidden in the stone statue. If this spread, would I ever do construction again?
“I didn’t say you knew.”
Zhang Hui interrupted the other party and cried: “Tell me about the project situation at that time, when it was built, when it was completed, who made the stone statue, When was it delivered?"
When Zhang Hui and others came to the small garden in the afternoon, they took a closer look around the stone statue.
Judging from the installation traces, this stone statue should have been installed directly here, and the possibility of replacing it later is very small.
The entire stone statue is three meters high and weighs about one ton. It cannot be replaced by one or several people by manpower. It must be replaced by large machinery.
And for such a large stone statue, it is not very likely that the murderer would use large machinery or even several people to do it just to hide the body.
In addition, judging from the time it took for the body to dry and decay, the time of death was at least one or two years.
This camping area was only constructed and put into operation in the past two years.
