The man in front of the barbecue stall had a kind smile on his face, just like the honest and honest uncle in the idol drama.
This kind of personality can easily bring strangers closer to each other and make them lower their guard.
Facing the man's warm invitation, Zhao Mina, who was slumped on the ground, did not refuse. She took off the long skirt that was originally tied around her waist and went straight to the barbecue stall.
On the barbecue stall, there were several skewers of crispy and fragrant fresh meat being grilled over charcoal fire. Except for some seasoning bottles on the surrounding chopping boards, no other ingredients could be seen.
Zhao Meina tucked her long hair behind her ears, bent forward and smelled it, and an alluring scent of meat immediately hit her face.
“Boss, what kind of meat is this? Why is it different from the beef and mutton I’ve seen before?
And it tastes very fragrant, better than any barbecue I have ever eaten before." Zhao Mina said curiously.
The man smiled, and while putting down the folding dining table in front of the stall, he explained: "Girl, this is called rice meat. As the name suggests, it is the meat that grows from eating rice.
The taste is naturally much more delicate than that of grass-fed and rough beef and mutton.”
"That's it. No wonder it's different from the barbecue I've had before."
Zhao Meina sat down at the dining table and nodded, as if she had already forgotten all about the unhappiness just now.
Now, she just wants to taste the meat grown from rice.
"Boss, give me two skewers to try first. If they taste good, I'll order a few more... Hey, that's not right! Boss, do you still have some in stock?
Why didn’t I see other ingredients just now? Have they been sold out?”
Zhao Mina noticed that the dining table was very empty and there seemed to be nothing left to sell, so she curiously asked the boss about the situation.
"Yes, yes!"
The man bent over, nodded with a smile and explained: "I sell fresh meat barbecue, and I only grill the freshest meat.
Don’t worry, the ingredients will be available soon and your meal will not be delayed.”
"Yeah?"
Zhao Meina raised her head curiously and saw that the signboard of the barbecue stall did read the four characters "Fresh Meat Barbecue".
I guess the boss is worried that the barbecue will become stale after being stored for a long time, which will affect his signature, so someone will deliver it later.
Thinking of this, Zhao Mina figured it out. After all, many time-honored craftsmen now pay great attention to their signs.
Soon, the man handed two portions of freshly roasted meat to Zhao Meina, but Chen Yong, who had been in a state of confusion, snatched one away.
Chen Yong snatched the meat and stuffed it into his mouth. As he ate, he kept praising the boss for his skill.
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious. I’ve never had such delicious barbecue.”
"Chen Yong!!!"
When Zhao Meina saw this, she immediately frowned and said angrily: "Chen Yong, why haven't you left yet?
I'm done with you, please don't bother me anymore...
Chen Yong, I’m talking to you, did you hear me?”
“Delicious, delicious...”
No matter what Zhao Meina said, Chen Yong sitting next to her seemed to be possessed by a man, just eating barbecue with his head down.
"Chen Yong?"
Zhao Meina shouted again, but the other party still didn't answer.
Zhao Meina couldn't help but become a little curious. She looked at the meat on the plate and Chen Yong's expression of enjoyment, and she became more and more curious about the taste of this dish.
"Is it really so delicious?"
She took the remaining piece of barbecue from the dinner plate and slowly put it into her mouth. Suddenly, a crispy aroma that she had never experienced before hit her heart.
The meat was fragrant, tender, soft and refreshing, far better than any food she had ever eaten in her life.
"Hmm... delicious, really delicious..."
Zhao Mina's face suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment!
She closed her eyes and was seriously enjoying the happiness the food brought her.
This feeling is like bathing in the March sunshine, warm and comfortable.
Moreover, even the skin on my body seems to have been sublimated, and I don't feel tired at all.
When the two portions of food on the plate are finished, the man will serve another large portion of roasted meat.
The meat seemed to appear out of thin air, one plate after another.
...
At the same time, Cao Ning took Cai Ningxue to the artificial lake on the other side and discovered several more dismembered bodies.
Deep in the dense weeds, scattered clothes, discarded severed hands and feet, and some heads with smiles on their faces could be seen everywhere.
It is easy to tell from the remaining heads that the victims were a man and a woman, both young people in their twenties.
Except for some stumps, all that's left are white bones, and the flesh on them seems to have been carefully removed, without even a trace of debris.
"Cao Ning, they, how could they..."
Cai Ningxue covered her mouth and nose, feeling nauseated in her chest.
As a ferryman, the most common thing is corpses. In the ten years of working as a ferryman, I have never seen any kind of corpse.
But this was the first time she had seen a corpse like this with its flesh and blood removed, leaving only stumps.
Even if you encounter a ferocious beast, the corpse will not be so weird.
Only the limbs and head were intact on the whole body, but not even a trace of blood was left on other parts of the body. I had never seen such a cruel way of death in my life.
Cao Ning squatted beside the weeds and carefully inspected the deceased's clothes and stumps.
Judging from the remains, these people showed no signs of struggle before death, as if they were dismembered unconsciously.
And judging from the strange death situation and the degree of cruelty, it is obvious that it is not something ordinary people can do.
"It's strange that they seemed to be very happy before they died, and there was no sign of any pain at all.
Could it be that the pain in the waist was caused by anesthesia?" Cao Ning muttered.
"How is it possible, who wants to remove all the flesh and blood from the kidneys? I really thought it was the uncle selling vegetables at the butcher stall." Cai Ningxue retorted.
Cao Ning touched his chin and nodded: "That's right!
But if it’s an evil spirit causing trouble, then you don’t even need to use your brain, right?
Is that their favorite thing?"
"I don't think it's the work of an evil ghost. Evil ghosts are not so well-educated."
Cai Ningxue pointed to the bones and explained: "Look at those bones, they are cleaner than those gnawed by dogs. How could they be the delicate work that those greedy evil spirits can do?"
"You have a point!"
Cao Ning nodded in agreement, and then began to analyze: "It's not man-made, nor is it caused by evil spirits, so who could it be?
It's not like some bastard has a soft spot for human flesh, right?
Eh...yeah, human flesh, why didn't I think of this guy?"
Cao Ning suddenly woke up from a dream!
If it was that guy who did it, then all the clues would match up.
"Cao Ning, have you guessed who it is?" Cai Ningxue asked curiously.
Cao Ning nodded seriously: "Nine times out of ten, it was that guy who did it!
Looking at the whole of China, he is the only one who is so obsessed with human flesh."
