Concrete in the urn?

The Photographer immediately realized Lin Yuan's situation and quickly came over to ask, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yuan stared at his palm and slowly shook his head, muttering, "No! Something is very wrong!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, looking at Lin Yuan with blank faces.

Before the Photographer could ask a question,

Lin Yuan rubbed his palm vigorously, carefully observed the color of the ashes, and then briefly sniffed them.

After these actions, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his eyes revealed confusion and shock.

The atmosphere on site became a bit oppressive; everyone was staring at him, wanting to know what he had discovered.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Lin Yuan tried to steady his emotions, took a deep breath, looked up at Team Chen, and said with a solemn, almost grave expression, "Officer Chen, if I'm not mistaken, these aren't ashes; they're concrete!"

As soon as he said this,

Everyone was shocked.

Confusion was written on every face; their brains couldn't process it at all.

Clearly, Lin Yuan's words were a bit too fantastic, like a huge joke.

Team Chen said with a solemn expression, "Lin Yuan, this is no joke. Don't just make up an excuse to shirk responsibility; your reason is too far-fetched."

"It's not that I don't believe you, but ask everyone here, who would believe that ashes turned into concrete? Could it be that the funeral home made a mistake?"

"That's impossible, right? Who would put concrete in an urn as a decoration for no reason?"

Hearing this, the people present nodded involuntarily.

Lin Yuan's words were simply too incredible.

Even he himself was still a bit doubtful if he had seen it wrong.

He turned his head and looked at the Girl, casting a questioning gaze.

The Girl's expression was also a bit flustered; she shook her head innocently, "I don't know, these are all ashes. If you don't believe me, ask the on-duty big brother."

The morgue attendant who had been standing nearby also nodded in agreement, echoing, "It's indeed ashes inside; I can vouch for that. It can't be concrete."

Now, everyone's gaze was once again focused on Lin Yuan.

The atmosphere on site became even more bizarre; no one could understand it.

If you say Lin Yuan was deliberately lying, it's not that serious.

He's not that stupid to come up with such an unrealistic reason.

But if he wasn't lying, then it's even more impossible.

The funeral home staff have already testified that these are ashes. Is someone stealing ashes these days?

That stuff has been sitting there for so long with no family members taking it; to put it bluntly, no one would even want it if you gave it away.

So how could it be secretly swapped?

So at this moment, everyone present believed that Lin Yuan had made a mistake.

The netizens in the live stream were also surprised by the idea Lin Yuan had just put forward.

— [Ashes turning into concrete? This sounds like a joke. Is there anyone who understands? Please tell me, do these things really look alike?]

— [I'm in civil engineering. When dry, concrete is grayish-white. I'm not sure about the color of ashes, but I guess they should be quite similar, both gray.]

— [This is too outrageous, impossible! Who would put concrete in an urn as an ornament for no reason? Unless there's a huge grudge, where even after death, they want to crush the bones and scatter the ashes. But the problem is, if there's such a huge grudge, why bother putting concrete in? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to just smash the jar?]

— [You never know. What happens to Lin Yuan is already very outrageous, just like that female ghost earlier. Who would have thought she was playing dead? And with that lighting just now, it was like a horror movie. But thinking back, they seemed to have encountered electrical problems before; it just happened to be a coincidence.]

— [Now that you mention it, I've realized. That door was also closed from the beginning, but we didn't pay attention at the time. Thinking about it now, it's all coincidences. This might be why some people still believe in ghosts in the world. If this case hadn't been solved today, it would have become another ghost legend.]

Facing the questioning gazes from everyone, Lin Yuan forcefully suppressed the doubts in his heart and explained with a solemn expression, "I understand that you don't believe it; in fact, even I find it incredible."

"But I can confirm that it is not ashes; it is concrete!"

Then, Lin Yuan slowly stood up and walked towards the crowd, extending his right hand, which was still covered with residual grayish-white substance.

"First, the color is wrong!"

"The color of ashes is white or grayish-white, and sometimes it can also appear pale yellow or light brown."

"Its color mainly depends on factors such as the temperature and time during the cremation process, and the chemical composition and content within the body."

"If the cremation temperature is too low or the time is too short, the color of the ashes may be grayish, because some organic matter has not been completely decomposed."

"And if the cremation temperature is too high or the time is too long, the color of the ashes may be yellowish, because the calcium in it has already decomposed into chemical substances such as calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide."

Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment!

It was the first time they heard someone explain the colors of ashes scientifically.

But the person explaining it was not a Forensic doctor or a funeral home staff member, but a real estate agent!!

They truly didn't know if he was knowledgeable or if he was neglecting his duties as a real estate agent.

The morgue attendant standing nearby immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's right."

Team Chen carefully looked at the grayish-white substance in Lin Yuan's hand and raised his doubt, "But isn't what's on your hand grayish-white?"

Lin Yuan gently shook his head and explained, "It is grayish-white, but the color is too dark! Even if the organic matter hasn't been completely decomposed, it wouldn't be this gray. The depth of this color is more like concrete."

"Of course, based on color alone, we can't confirm that it's not ashes. Let's look at its powder state."

"Ashes are fine, white or grayish-white particles obtained after human bones are burned at high temperatures, mainly composed of inorganic substances like calcium and phosphorus; what's burned out is finer."

"Concrete, on the other hand, is a construction material made from a mixture of cement, sand, gravel, iron ore, and water, and it's rougher when produced."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan extended his hand to Team Chen's eyes, letting him observe carefully.

"Do you see some relatively larger particles?"

Team Chen looked intently and nodded solemnly, "I see them!"

"Blow on it!"

"Huh?" Team Chen was a bit confused.

"Blow on it!" Lin Yuan emphasized again.

"Oh, oh~~" Although he didn't understand what Lin Yuan wanted to do, Team Chen still cooperatively blew on his palm.

"Did you find anything?"

Team Chen was bewildered.

Didn't you tell me to blow on it?

How would I know what you want to do.

Lin Yuan didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Didn't you notice that after blowing on it, there's still a lot of grayish-white powder stuck to my hand?"

Hearing this, Team Chen immediately understood and nodded, "Yes, there's still a lot. What does that mean?"
