Director Yang's horror!

If such a thing were to happen, it would inevitably cause great panic in society.

It’s the internet age now, and Lin Yuan is even livestreaming.

The speed of information dissemination would far exceed imagination, and even if they wanted to suppress it, they wouldn’t be able to.

So at this moment, Team Chen’s heart was already in turmoil, and he kept praying that such a thing wouldn’t happen.

However, half an hour later, he despaired!

The Forensic doctors arrived at the scene, took out an infrared spectrometer from their bag, plugged it in, and its shape was somewhat similar to a printer.

Then they put on gloves, used tools to collect the ashes on the ground, placed them in the sample pool, and used the infrared spectrometer for measurement.

In a short while, the relevant data was analyzed and extracted.

The Forensic doctors held the data sheet in their hand and reported with a solemn expression, “Team Chen! It’s confirmed, it’s concrete!”

Upon hearing this answer, although Team Chen was mentally prepared, he still couldn’t hide his shock.

But when the subsequent tests further confirmed that all the jars were filled with concrete, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp.

Recalling the scene where Lin Yuan said it was concrete, they all disbelieved it, and even found it a bit amusing.

But looking at it now, it all felt like a dream.

Something that couldn’t even be portrayed in a TV show was happening right before their eyes.

Even seeing it with their own eyes, everyone still found it hard to believe.

Team Chen looked at the data report in front of him and immediately realized that this was not something he could handle.

More than a dozen urns of ashes had disappeared, which was equivalent to more than a dozen people missing; this was no trivial matter!

So, even though it was past 11 PM, he didn’t hesitate to make a call to Director Yang.

Director Yang had already fallen asleep at this hour.

The phone rang for over a minute before it was answered.

Then a sleepy voice came through, “Hello! Old Chen, is something wrong that you’re calling me in the middle of the night?”

“Director Yang, it’s bad! Something big has happened!”

“Something big has happened?” Director Yang quickly sat up and asked, “What happened? A robbery or a murder?”

“No!! The ashes are gone! More than a dozen urns of ashes are gone.” Team Chen was too agitated by what had just happened, and even his speech was problematic.

As a result, Director Yang was completely bewildered.

“What the heck?”

In the past, the most common things he heard about were nothing more than Thieves, gangs, and the most serious were robberies and murders.

This was the first time he had heard of ashes going missing!

What is this all about!

However, he also heard that Team Chen’s tone was off, and his expression also became serious.

“Old Chen, don’t get excited, speak slowly!”

“Yes! It’s like this, I received a report tonight and came to Lingshan Funeral Home saying someone had reanimated, but it turned out to be suspended animation. That’s not the point, the point is Lin Yuan used the funeral home’s urns to hit a woman, and now we found that the urns are all filled with concrete, not just one, but more than a dozen of them!”

After listening to Team Chen’s explanation, Director Yang was dumbfounded.

“Ah? Lin Yuan??? Why is he everywhere!”

“Why would he throw someone’s ashes for no reason?”

Team Chen looked distressed and said, “Director Yang, that’s not the point. The point is the ashes in the urns are gone, all replaced with concrete! Don’t forget Lin Yuan is livestreaming!”

Boom~~

As soon as these words came out, Director Yang’s brain felt like it had been struck by lightning, his sleepiness instantly dissipated, and he fully reacted, exclaiming on the spot, “What? The ashes were swapped? There’s such a thing? Have you found out who did it?”

Team Chen shook his head, “No, there’s no clue at all right now. This case is too bizarre, we’ve never encountered anything like it, and it involves a very wide scope. Director Yang, what do we do now?”

“You stay there and don’t move, I’ll bring people over immediately! Be sure to protect the scene!”

“Okay!”

After hanging up the phone, Director Yang sat on the bed, completely stunned, his mind buzzing.

If hearing Lin Yuan was on the scene was surprising, then a dozen urns of ashes going missing was terrifying.

Such a strange event happening within his jurisdiction, he had never even heard of it.

What kind of concept is this!

The most important thing is, there are already more than a dozen.

Does that mean there are at least a dozen?

It could be twenty, or thirty, or even…

He didn’t dare to think further; who knew how many there actually were.

These aren’t jars for pickling vegetables; they’re urns of ashes!!

The only thing that could prove a person had once existed in this world was gone.

And from what Team Chen just said, the ashes were replaced with concrete.

Were they swapped here, or were there no ashes to begin with?

If they were swapped, that would be fine, after all, there are surveillance cameras everywhere now, so they can always find some clues.

As long as they find the ashes and give an explanation to the families, everything else can be resolved.

But what if there were no ashes to begin with?

After all, who would steal someone’s ashes for no reason? That stuff can’t be eaten or drunk, nor can it be sold for money.

Even if there’s a grudge, it wouldn’t go as far as stealing all of them, right?

As this thought flashed through his mind, Director Yang’s pupils involuntarily constricted sharply.

As a director, he considered problems more long-term and deeply than Team Chen.

Although this possibility was not very high, what if!

What if the deceased was sent to the funeral home but not cremated, and concrete was used to make up the numbers?

Then the consequences… would be unimaginable!

These are people!!

Although they are dead, they were once living people.

Oh my god!

If that were truly the case, where did these people go?

Did they disappear into thin air?

Once the news gets out, it won’t be as simple as social panic.

Instead, it will involve extremely heinous criminal offenses.

The consequences would be hundreds of times more severe than what Team Chen and the others had previously imagined!

Once the higher-ups hold him accountable and he can’t produce a result, let alone him, a small branch director, the entire West Sea City police force would probably experience a major earthquake.

Just thinking about such a possibility, cold sweat poured down Director Yang’s forehead uncontrollably.

He no longer dared to think further.

The more he thought, the more he felt a chill, the more terrifying it became.

With a sudden burst, he rushed to the clothes rack, put on his police uniform at the fastest speed, and then went downstairs to drive to the police station.

Meanwhile, at the funeral home, the atmosphere on site was somewhat oppressive.

The police had already set up a cordon to preserve the initial crime scene.

The deceased, who was halfway through embalming, was moved to another room, and the Girl continued to help him complete the subsequent steps, as the deceased is paramount.

At this moment, Team Chen walked up to Lin Yuan and said with a serious expression, “Lin Yuan, Director Yang is already on his way. As the main discoverer of this case, we might still need to take up your time today.”

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled, “It’s fine, I also want to clear things up as soon as possible, at least now I don’t have to be scolded by the funeral home.”

Team Chen couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that, “You, you, I really admire you. The phrase ‘hitting the mark by accident’ suits you best.”

“Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, this matter today would probably never have been discovered.”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan also nodded in agreement and curiously asked, “Are there any results from the cremation records check?”
