Chapter 1179: Not Letting You Rely on Me

“But…” The male forensic doctor continued his explanation to Zhao Yu. “Because the bodies have not been dissected, these are just preliminary judgments. We still cannot rule out other causes of death. However, don’t worry too much. Forensics Gao will be here tomorrow!”

“Understood!” Zhao Yu said, clenching his fists. “You guys have worked hard!”

“Not at all, not at all. This is our job!” The male forensics doctor said, clearly flattered. He nodded out of respect, then stood up and left.

“Well, the shroud of female corpse number seven is different from the rest…” Zhao Yu said, thinking about it with his hands on his back after the forensic doctor left. “There was no yellow paper in her shroud with the eight characters either, and the body was drier than the remaining corpses…

“Miao Miao…” Zhao Yu said uncertainly. His eyes were peculiar. “Say… do you think the identity of female corpse number seven might be different from the remaining six?”

“This case is really quite strange!” Miao Ying said, sighing. “Could it be that the other six girls were buried to accompany female corpse number seven?”

“That can’t be!” Zhao Yu said, shaking his head. “The material of the shroud on female corpse number seven is worse than that of the other female corpses, and her face has no makeup… I don’t think she looks like someone with a noble background!”

“The issue now is…” Miao Ying said, “That we cannot conclude whether or not all these girls were murdered. If you look at female corpse number two who died of heart disease, it probably was not murder. But the situation for number seven is the complete opposite. This case is really abnormal!”

“Yeah…” Zhao Yu said.

Zhao Yu sighed in his heart. This hanging coffin case was really unprecedented!

The hanging coffins, female corpses, the bodies not rotting, the strange cause of deaths, and the mysterious birthday characters; each clue, in this case, revealed a peculiar, indescribable mystery!

And when all the clues were connected together, it became even more elusive and confusing.

What was the truth behind the case of the hanging coffins?

Was it murder? Was it magic? Or were there any other unknown reasons?

Thinking about everything, Zhao Yu finally went to his whiteboard that had been set up and began to add information in. He analyzed the case based on his usual, established routine.

Seeing this, Miao Ying also immediately returned to her desk and continued to investigate the situation around the eight characters.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and by the time Zhao Yu had filled up the two large whiteboards, it was already the dead of night!

From Zhao Yu’s office, the sound of the rushing river could be heard out the window as well as occasional, low-lying bird calls.

“Seven Stars Hanging Coffin…” Zhao Yu thought.

Zhao Yu looked at the information on the whiteboard and concentrated, deep in his thoughts. He tried to analyze the possible outcomes of this case and any clues that might have been hidden or missed.

Just then, the system in his brain began to flash. He didn’t expect the Kun Gen hexagram that he had opened earlier actually to be completed!

“What?” he thought.

Zhao Yu was a bit surprised, to say the least. Logically speaking, Kun was a large hexagram. It usually would not have been completed so soon after opening it. It would usually last for two or more days.

The last Kun Gan hexagram had lasted a whole three days before it had announced its completion!

“This…” Zhao Yu thought.

Zhao Yu opened the system interface to take a look and saw that he had a 298% completion rate and had received five items as a reward.

This degree of completion could only be considered satisfactory. Compared with the past Kun hexagrams, it was actually much worse.

“How come…?” he wondered.

Zhao Yu wondered what the sudden end of the Kun hexagram meant.

After thinking about it, he only managed to come up with two possibilities. Either his investigation was headed in the wrong direction today and a significant loophole had popped up, or the big incident represented by the Kun hexagram wasn’t as substantial as he had previously imagined!

Tsch!

This was not easy to figure out!

If it was the first possibility, then he had to adjust his thought process when solving the case and see what he was missing.

And if it was the second possibility… did that mean that the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins case was not as serious as previously imagined? That the seven girls were not murdered? Or maybe, not all of them had been murdered?

Uhm…

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yu felt that if he wanted to find out what the hexagram meant, then the only way was to open up another one and see what type would appear today.

If there were still a Kun hexagram, it would mean that the direction he was investigating in was wrong. On the contrary, it would also mean that not all of the deceased had died of murder!

Thinking about this, Zhao Yu quickly clicked into the system page and opened up a new hexagram.

In the end, the system managed to tease Zhao Yu again.

When the new hexagram came out, it was a Qian Gen hexagram!

“Freak!” Zhao Yu thought.

Zhao Yu fanned his face a few times and swore in his heart. “System administrator, I’m really impressed! Not once have you been nice and properly showed me the cards!” he thought to himself.

The Kun hexagram was gone, but now the Qian hexagram had surfaced again. This was really too ironic!

The Qian hexagram was a hybrid, and it was possible that it included the Kun. All his thoughts became foggy.

Oh…

However, Zhao Yu quickly realized something. It seemed that to this day, the system was reminding Zhao Yu, either intentionally or unintentionally, not to rely too much on his systems or to rely too heavily on the hexagrams!

Hmph!

“Alright…” he thought.

Zhao Yu thought about his situation with a huff. “I won’t rely on the system then! It’s not the first time I have managed to solve a case. Complicated cases have been solved before, why would I be afraid of the situation I’m in now?

“Hmm… it’s just…”

Within a second, Zhao Yu shifted his eyes to the system equipment and spoke in his heart. “Hehe! If there are no clues in the hexagram, at least the system tools can still be used, right?”

Thinking about this, he opened the equipment bar and roughly browsed through it, quickly turning on the invisible browser.

At the very least, he first needed to understand the origins of the hanging coffins. That wasn’t too much to ask for, right?

Thus, he typed the term ‘Seven Star Hanging Coffins’ into the browser and hit the search key.

The system equipment was better than those in reality. Zhao Yu knew that this browser was able to search through a lot of information that an ordinary search engine would not have access to.

Therefore, he hoped that he could find out about the unknown mysteries of the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins from there.

In the end, something depressing happened.

The browser listed a lot of information about hanging coffins and the Big Dipper seven stars, but nothing about the ‘Seven Stars Hanging Coffins.’

“This…” Zhao Yu thought.

Zhao Yu carefully looked at the browser and the system interface. He didn’t know whether there was really no such term, or if the only way to search for it was to strengthen the browser.

However, after searching for a long time, he didn’t manage to find any clues.

Hng…

Zhao Yu’s depression was easy to imagine. From his point of view, the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins must really be as President Pang Zhihui had said. It was a mystery that was unknown to everyone.

However, so as to not miss out on any clues, Zhao Yu patiently looked through some materials related to the hanging coffins and learned a lot about them in the process.

After he finished reading, he realized that he had thought about the hanging coffins too simply. Regardless, whether it was relating to the distribution area, type, age, or culture behind the hanging coffins, it was all beyond his imagination.

Although scientists had studied them for a long time, the origin and role of the hanging coffins were still unknown, much in part due to the differences in geographical environment and cultural customs.

Some people say that the hanging coffins were placed on the cliff to avoid being damaged by beasts, while others said that the deceased were buried on the cliff to facilitate the preservation of the corpses. Others said that hiding on the higher mountains allowed the souls of the dead to enter the other world easily.

So…

Zhao Yu opened the photo of the Seven Stars Hanging Coffins, wondering in his heart what the purpose of these coffins was.
