It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the first slaughterhouse at the back of Nanshan Mountain. This slaughterhouse was the largest in the area.
Song Yi and others parked the police car at the entrance of the slaughterhouse. The security guard at the door looked a little panicked when he saw it. He didn't know why he was nervous.
He opened the door to the security room, walked up to him with a smile, and asked: "Officers, are you there? What's the matter?"
This security guard looked to be in his twenties, and he seemed to be the type of young man lying flat on his back.
"It's okay, we're just here to investigate. Are you still killing pigs?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?" the security guard asked, somewhat confused.
"Call your person in charge to come out and let's ask him something." Ma Xiaotao said with a serious face.
"Ah, the person in charge...he, he's not here now?" the security guard said with some embarrassment,
Ma Xiaotao could tell at a glance that he was lying, so she snorted coldly and said:
"The person in charge is not here, then we will go in by ourselves." After saying this, Ma Xiaotao was about to walk in. Upon seeing this, the security guard hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
After seeing Ma Xiaotao's sharp eyes, he smiled and said: "No, I, I mean, let me see if he is there, I actually don't know."
After saying that, the security guard made a call. Not long after, a man of about thirty years old wearing a black down jacket and glasses walked out.
This man also put hairspray on his head. It was obvious that he was very concerned about his image. When the person in charge saw that they were policemen, he was a little confused. He asked the security guard, but the security guard didn't know either.
"Hello, police officers, I'm the person in charge here, what's the matter?" the man with glasses asked, confused.
"Let's talk after we go in. We just want to investigate some things, and we don't know if you have any shameful things here.
The security guard also said that the person in charge was not here and would not let us in." Ma Xiaotao glanced at the security guard.
The person in charge also sighed and glanced at the security guard angrily.
The man with glasses knew very well that there seemed to be no other illegal operations in their slaughterhouse, but the security guard did make some moves that misunderstood them.
The bespectacled man glanced at the security guard, who was frightened by his sharp eyes and took two steps back. Then he looked at everyone with an awkward smile, and then the bespectacled man led Song Yi and the others in.
The moment Ma Xiaotao entered the slaughterhouse, he was disgusted by the stench. He couldn't help but retched. Song Yi also covered his nose. He could still bear the stench.
Only Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao couldn't bear it.
After taking a tour of this workshop, I found that everything is an assembly line operation line, which is quite modern.
"Excuse me, do you have any butchers here? It's a very traditional slaughtering method." Qin Nan asked.
"We transformed it into a modern assembly line half a year ago. There are no more traditional butchers...but..." The man with glasses paused and seemed to have thought of something, so he continued.
"However, we laid off some butchers six months ago, mainly those in their forties and fifties, because we now use mechanized slaughtering methods.
They didn't know how to operate it, so they later raised funds to open a private slaughterhouse nearby. You can go there and have a look," the man with glasses said.
"Do you have knives like bone chopping knives? What's the heaviest one? Is there a master who is good at chopping bones in this workshop?" Qin Nan asked.
"The heaviest one...is about one or two kilograms, because it is rarely used, and we don't have bone-chopping masters in our workshop, only those who are good at cutting meat." The man with glasses said.
Then, the man with glasses gave him the address of another slaughterhouse, and Qin Nan and others left here and headed to the next slaughterhouse.
When Ma Xiaotao left, she rolled her eyes at the security guard, thinking that he was too young and too philistine. After seeing a few people walking away, she
The little security guard squinted his eyes and wondered what gossip he was thinking about.
At this time, another security guard in his fifties came in. The young security guard quickly closed the doors and windows, looked left and right, and then said softly:
"The person in charge of our factory seems to have committed a crime..."
…
Not long after, Song Yi and the others arrived at another slaughterhouse that the person in charge had mentioned.
The scale of this slaughterhouse is indeed much smaller than that of the factory just now. It is estimated that the area here should only be about five to six hundred square meters.
However, compared to before, the stench from here seems to be more unacceptable, and there are still pigs wailing here from time to time.
Song Yi and others walked towards the slaughterhouse. At this time, they did not see any security guards at the door. They only saw an aunt in her forties or fifties, sitting at the gate of the yard.
There was a table for cracking melon seeds. When she saw several policemen walking towards her, she immediately threw away the melon seeds in her hands, then walked forward with a puzzled look on her face and asked:
"Comrade police, you are here..."
"Hello, we are from the Shuangqing City Police Department, and we want to know something from you." Ma Xiaotao said, showing his police officer ID.
"We want to see the knives from your slaughterhouse." Ma Xiaotao continued.
"The knife...is something wrong..." Auntie looked at the people up and down, always feeling that something was going to happen.
"We cannot disclose the specific details of the case for the time being. Please take us in to have a look." Ma Xiaotao said with a smile.
"Master, please come out, the police have something to do with us!" the aunt shouted towards the inside.
Immediately, a man in his forties or fifties was seen walking out with a big knife, and he didn't know what to do when he saw several policemen.
When Song Yi and others saw this, they also took a few steps back, but Wu Haotian stood in front of them.
"Are you okay?" the man asked doubtfully.
"Put down the knife first!" Ma Xiaotao shouted.
At this time, the man realized something, dropped the big knife in his hand, raised his hands, and slowly squatted down.
Song Yi, Ma Xiaotao and the others looked at each other and wondered why this man was raising his hands. Could he be the murderer?!
