Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 528: Guessing over tea
Lao Yang's tea sets are indeed quite novel. The teacups and teapots are carved from whole stones.

"Let me tell you, my tea table directly heats the stone slab and then transfers it to the teapot to boil the water."

"Well," Lao Bai admired Yang Sen's tea set.

Maybe it's because of his age, but Lao Bai is the person in the office who likes to tinker with new things.

Yang Sen used to laugh at Lao Bai for getting older, but this year he started to do some new things.

"Your stone tea table is really good, I have to get one too."

Yang Sen waved his hand: "What else are you doing? I won't take this tea table home. I'll just put it in our office for use. You can just use it."

"I want to take it home and prepare a set for drinking tea at home. By the way, how much does your tea set cost?"

"My classmate's village makes this kind of tea set, which is not expensive. The cost is 300 yuan."

"300 yuan?"

Liu Guodong was slightly surprised. This stone tea set looked pretty good, but it only cost a few hundred yuan, so it was relatively cheap.

Liu Guodong may think that the craftsmanship of making teapots and teacups is more than this price.

"No way, for more than 300 yuan, how can someone make such a delicate teapot? This is made of stone, not clay. You can just pinch it. It needs to be carved."

Lao Bai obviously didn't believe it either.

Lu Chuan had never seen stone teacups, teapots, or other tea sets. He had a jade set at home.

That one is indeed exquisite. It is Comrade Lu's favorite and he is reluctant to use it.

But although the material of this stone is not as good as jade, it can't just cost 300 yuan.

As Lao Bai said, the labor cost may not be enough.

"It really only costs 300 yuan. I didn't believe it when my classmate told me, but in fact it's so cheap."

Yang Sen picked up a tea cup and turned it upside down to show everyone.

"You see, the inside of this teacup is very smooth, with no real traces at all."

"The reason is that these teacups and teapots are not carved by hand, but corroded by chemical corrosion."

Chemical corrosion?

"What is chemical corrosion?"

"I'm not sure. I heard they said it's a fossil agent that can corrode stone, making it softer and easier to carve."

"And this thing?"

"As the old saying goes, every other line is like a mountain. We are not stone carvers. Who knows how many twists and turns they have there. Let's not talk about that. Let's drink tea first."

Yang Sen was busy drinking tea. He used to use an enamel vat, but this time he got a tea table. It felt like he was going from tea drinking to tea tasting.

"This thing..." Lao Bai smashed the tea in the stone tea cup and tasted it carefully: "This tea seems to taste much better."

Liu Guodong twitched the corner of his mouth: "Can you please, today I am wearing Xiao Lu's big red robe..."

A few people were chatting and sipping tea, which seemed quite cool.

"By the way, for the case we found in the Donghai camping area, there doesn't seem to be particularly serious carving marks on the stone statue, right?"

Lao Bai nodded towards Yang Sen who was speaking: "There are just not many traces. I originally thought that the carving technique might be better. It seems that the stone softener you mentioned should also be used."

"Lao Yang, everything about this tea table is good, but the heated stone slab is not good. It is exposed and the temperature is too high. I just waved it over and it felt very hot."

"You won't stay away from it?"

"..."

Lao Bai thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

"Come on, Xiao Lu, what are you doing? Let's drink tea!" But Lu Chuan turned a deaf ear and did not respond to Lao Bai. Instead, he frowned and looked at the heated stone slab on the stone platform.

Slate heating…

A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Chuan's mind.

Corn dehydration, normal drying equipment generally will not cause corn dehydration to reach 10%.

After getting the data on corn dehydration results, several people have been discussing whether it is possible for the corpse to be dried through the corn dryer tower to form a mummy.

The way the current survey side thinks about the problem is different from the action team's goal of advancing the investigation.

The action team's main target was the stone statue.

Because the stone statue was too tall, heavy and difficult to manipulate, the murderer hid the body inside the stone statue. In this process, it was easy to find the murderer by tracing the source of the stone statue.

And judging from the current situation, the action team has made some progress.

Through the investigation of the stone sculpture garden, the stonemason who carved this stone statue has been identified.

The other party is the most likely person to tamper with the stone statue.

Zhang Hui has already started investigating in this area.

As long as the other party is found, the case is likely to be solved.

But what Lu Chuan and others have always been curious about is how the mummy was formed.

This is why technical criminal police and front-line criminal police think about issues from different angles and ways of thinking.

In fact, the exploration direction of the four people on Lu Chuan's side was not wrong.

Because there are no natural conditions to form mummies around Haizhou City.

Then it is very important to find the initial place where the mummy was formed, or the location, so that we can deduce the relevant information of the criminal suspect.

At first, because corn kernels were found in the stone statue, Lu Chuan and others' idea was to find the original location of the mummy by looking for the origin of the corn kernels.

The most likely thing to form mummies is large drying equipment such as corn drying towers.

However, the dehydration ratio of corn kernels is too high, and it is impossible for ordinary drying towers to achieve this level.

Even if it could be done, considering economic reasons, it is not possible.

Therefore, the investigation in this direction has hit a bottleneck.

But now, Lu Chuan seems to have discovered a new direction.

Who says that corn must come from drying towers, and corn must be dried in drying towers?
Since the stone slab on the tea table can be heated, if the stone statue that seals the body itself is heated, will it become another stone slab?

In other words, the stone statue itself is a kind of drying tower?

Lu Chuan looked at the heated stone pot on the stone slab and felt more and more that this was possible!

"Little Lu, what's the matter?"

Liu Guodong also saw something was wrong with Lu Chuan.

Given Lu Chuan's family conditions, it was impossible for him to fall in love with this stone pot, so why was he in a daze?
"Ah, Master, I think of a possibility..."

Then, Lu Chuan explained his guess in detail.

"The stone itself is a good conductor of heat. If the murderer first hid the body in the stone statue and then heated the stone statue, is it possible?"

The other three looked at each other, this possibility...

Although it is not easy to operate, after all, compared with the stone tea pot, the stone statue is too large and it is not convenient to heat.

However, it is a way.
