Soon, the director of the scenic spot found the two security guards on duty that night and the workers in charge of lotus.
The two security guards didn't seem to think how serious the matter was, so they confessed to their dereliction of duty and admitted that they really slept in the guard room that night!
They didn't patrol or watch any surveillance that night. They slept until dawn.
Liang Huan repeatedly asked if they had any "special" circumstances? But they insisted that they didn't know anything except sleeping!
Hearing this, the owner of the scenic spot couldn't hang on his face. He immediately scolded the two security guards, saying that it's all right to sleep at night, and other security guards also sleep. However, others will patrol at least once and twice at night, but you lie down and sleep. You're so lazy at home!
After scolding, Zhao Yu asked them to take themselves to the lotus pond to have a look.
On the way to the lotus pond, the old worker told Zhao Yu about the situation at that time, saying that when he found that the lotus was wrong, it was early in the morning. At that time, he was going to salvage the garbage in the pool, but he suddenly found that many lotus flowers had been moved and became crooked!
"There was no wind or rain that night," the old worker said positively. "It can't be a natural reason. Those lotus flowers not only moved their position, but also many petals were knocked off, which looked very scattered! Oh... Later, we went down to check and found a situation! "
When the old worker suddenly remembered the situation, the director was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked, "Lao Jiang, what do you mean? What did you find? Why haven't I heard of you? "
"Well... Water... The water level is different!" The old worker frowned and said, "at that time, the water level of the lotus pond was one foot lower than before. You can clearly see the previous water level line!"
"Ah?" The director frowned again. "Did you guys pump water out for those days? With less water, the lotus will naturally disperse? "
"No? The pumps are in the warehouse! It didn't move, and not only didn't smoke, we added a lot of water later! " The old worker answered.
The journey was not far away. Just as they were talking, they had come to the lotus pond in front of the golden pagoda.
The area of this ancient lotus pond is not large. On the whole, it is in an 8-shaped shape, and there is a small bridge for appreciating lotus in the middle. The water in the pool is very muddy. I can't see how deep the pool is.
However, it is the so-called lotus out of the mud without dyeing. Although the water in the pool is turbid, the lotus in the pool is very beautiful!
Zhao Yu squatted beside the pool. First, he looked at the pagoda opposite and the temple on the other side. Then he lowered his head and looked at the lotus pool seriously.
"How deep is the pool?" Zhao Yu looked for a long time and suddenly asked.
"Different!" The old worker immediately replied, "the central part is the deepest. Some places can reach 1.5 meters, but most parts are less than 1 meter!"
"What's at the bottom of the pool?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Um... Mud?" The old worker wondered, "what else can there be?"
"Fish!" The director quickly said, "there are dozens of big carp! Officer, do you mean... Someone stole fish? "
"Director, this is not a valuable Koi. What's the value?" The old worker shook his head and said, "they are all carp, crucian carp and tortoises released by pilgrims!"
"Xiao zhao'er, what do you think! In the water... "Liang Huan looked at Zhao Yu's eyes as if he were looking at a mental patient.
"Lao Liang, please help me find someone to check the electricity meter of their golden Buddha Temple," Zhao Yu said very seriously. "Find out the details of their electricity consumption for nearly a month!"
"What? Check the electricity bill? You...... "Liang Huan understood Zhao Yu's meaning and said hurriedly," do you doubt that someone has pumped water into the pool? Is this... Possible? "
"Less nonsense, hurry up!" Zhao Yu roared. Liang Huan naturally didn't dare to provoke him. He quickly took out the phone.
"Wait a minute!" Who knows, the director of the scenic spot suddenly stopped Liang Huan and said, "our accountant has the details of electricity bill! I've seen it. There's an app of the Power Bureau on her mobile phone. You can see it as soon as you open it! You... Wait a minute! "
With that, the director of the scenic spot stood up and made a phone call. While making a phone call, he waved his hand to the right in the woods.
Zhao Yu looked along his gesture and saw that there was a row of beautiful small houses deep in the woods, which should be the office area of the scenic spot.
"Accountant Wang, hurry up. Come here. There are police officers here who need to check something!" In order to make people in the distance see clearly, the director stood on tiptoe, "yes, I'm right next to the lotus pond. Do you see me? Ok... "
With that, the director hung up the phone and said to Zhao Yu and others: "come, come, as soon as the mobile phone is turned on, the water and electricity bills are all clear at a glance!"
Soon, the woman who thought she was plump came to the crowd with her mobile phone. With the sign of the director, she opened the software on her mobile phone.
As a result, Zhao Yu didn't look carefully. The director of the scenic spot was stunned first:
"I wipe it. Why are there so many electricity bills? Are you crazy? " When Zhao Yu and others saw it again, everyone felt that it was not quite right, because according to the power consumption details, on the day when the surveillance video was transferred, the power consumption in the scenic spot obviously exceeded that in other periods. Obviously, high-power electrical appliances were used in the scenic spot that day. In addition, the same is true of the water meter. On the same day, the water consumption reached a high peak, far exceeding the normal period“ No! " At this moment, Liang Huan was silly. "Does it mean that someone came here at night, drained the water in the pool, and then put in new water? Are they a bunch of psychopaths, or... Or do they want to find something in the pool? Suddenly, Liang Huan thought of the Golden Buddha and hurriedly pressed Zhao Yu's arm. That means asking Zhao Yu, can you say that the twelve golden Buddhas are hidden in this ancient lotus pond“ Impossible! " At this time, the security guard next to him who looked naive scratched his head, "I've seen pumping water into the pool before. It's loud. If there's so much noise in the middle of the night, we can't know it? This... This is someone playing a prank? "“ Impossible! " The old worker also said, "I have pumped water during maintenance before. Although the pool is small, it takes at least two days and two nights to pump it all dry with a water pump!"“ No! " Who knows, the accountant Wang suddenly said, "how can such a large power consumption be dried out by a water pump? Look at this number, at least seven or eight? "“ It's also possible... "Liang Huan became very excited and immediately pointed to the lotus pool and guessed," they don't have to drain all the water, they just need to pump some of it! They must be looking for something down there! Director, "Liang Huan turned to the director of the scenic spot and asked," do you have any older commentators or experts here? Ask quickly, "what's under the pool?"“ oh OK! Good! " The director of the scenic spot realized that it was important and was already sweating“ All right, don't bother! " Zhao Yu stopped the director of the scenic spot and said to the people, "hurry up and take out all your pumps. Let's pump them again! Maybe if you drain the water, you'll understand it all!
