◎Chapter 45: The mysterious case of corpse robbery
In the corridor, several children were clapping and singing: Two tigers, two tigers, fall in love, fall in love. Both are male, both are male, so perverted, so perverted. Some primary school students are doing it on the playground.
During the game, they threw a round card on the ground and kept saying dirty words. Several children played with the yo-yos in their hands... The bell rang and the children ran into the classroom.
The campus became quiet. In the third grade classroom, two desks were empty. The two children would never come to school.
The special case team waited patiently for the students to finish class, and then conducted an interrogation and investigation. On the day of the incident, there were no suspicious people or unusual things in the school. It is said that two children stole the baby eggs from the stall owner who sold baby eggs in front of the school.
Women once scolded Tsai Ming-liang and Cai Xiaoxi. Some classmates reported that Tsai Ming-liang and Cai Xiaoxi were children, and their parents decided to marry their two children as soon as they were born.
Tsai Ming-liang and Cai Xiaoxi live in the same village. On the day of the incident, it was already dark when they left school due to a make-up exam.
Their village is called Caizhuangli, a small mountain village with many persimmon trees.
The school is far away from the village, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult. The two children have to walk for an hour to get home.
Bao Zhan, Hua Long, and Assistant Tang set foot on this mountain road again; Professor Liang had inconvenient legs and feet, so he and Su Mei stayed at the city bureau, directing the criminal police brigade to investigate the corpse theft case. The body of the boy in red disappeared.
Fly, there must be an ulterior secret hidden behind it. What is the purpose of robbing corpses? Who would do such an evil thing? What can the rotting corpse bring to the body snatchers? At present, these questions are still a mystery. Compare DNA
The test results found that the green corpse fluid on the door of the forest police station and the rotten little hand that fell from the crow's nest in front of the boy in red's old house came from a child - Cai Mingliang.
Children in cities are picked up and dropped off by their parents when going to and from school.
Children in mountain villages walk home by themselves, and their journey to school is extremely difficult.
Bao Zhan, Hua Long, and Assistant Tang re-walked the mountain road that Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi took home.
One side of the road is a cliff like a knife and an axe, and the other side is a cliff with thousands of feet. There are often huge rocks blocking the road. When the rainy season comes, the mud and sand fall down, burying the huge rocks, forming a hillside. The hillside is covered with grass, wild flowers bloom, and spring water flows from it.
Wild flowers and green grass flowed through. This is where tourists admire the nature. This is the extremely difficult road that the two children walked.
A boy and a girl, both ten years old, are a young couple.
They experienced wind, frost, snow and sword, walked through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and walked hand in hand on the dark mountain road.
Two children drowned in a pool on the side of the mountain. Bao Zhan, Hua Long, and Assistant Tang observed carefully. The terrain was dangerous. There was a big dead tree nearby, and there was a small piece of flat grass around the tree.
Children sometimes play on the grass for a while, and when it rains, they take shelter in tree holes. There is a small trail in front of them, and it cannot be ruled out that someone pushed the child into the pool.
possible.
Bypassing the water pool, you will find this small mountain village called Caizhuangli.
There is no telephone connection in this village, and Assistant Tang cannot contact the village committee by phone. He said: The telephone connection project in every village has not been fully implemented. How old is this? Some villages don’t even have telephones?
Hualong said: Not to mention here, even in the capital, there are villages that don’t have telephone access. The gap between the rich and the poor is too big now.
Assistant Tang said: No, there are villages in the capital that don’t have telephone service?
Hualong said: Ankou Village in Miyun Mountain is the last village in Beijing without telephone service.
Bao Zhan was speechless all the way, and Hua Long asked: What are you thinking about, Xiao Bao?
Bao Zhan said: I think of the path I walked when I was a child. In fact, after so many years, nothing has changed.
The three people asked the villagers and found the village committee.
The village party secretary said that the parents of Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi are not in the village and have gone out to work. After the funeral, the parents have to continue to make ends meet, and the pain of losing a child cannot offset the hardship of life. There are only the elderly and children left behind in the village.
Almost all young adults have gone out to work.
Assistant Tang asked: Where is the security director of your village?
The village party secretary said: It’s me. I also serve as the village security director.
Hualong said: What about the original security director?
The village party secretary said: He also went to work in the city as a security guard.
Assistant Tang said: We came here this time to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy.
The village party secretary said: How can this be done? You have to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. The parents of the two children are not here. I am the village party secretary and I can’t make the decision. People in the village will also object.
Bao Zhan said: Find someone to inform the child's parents and ask them to come back tomorrow.
The village party secretary said: This case has been going on for so long and was finally determined to be an accidental death. Have your police officers made any new discoveries?
Bao Zhan said: To be honest, the tomb is probably empty.
The village party secretary said: Empty? No, I saw the burial with my own eyes during the funeral.
Hualong said: The child's body should not be inside.
The village party secretary said: This is a big deal, I will take you to see it tomorrow. Both children call me grandpa, I make the decision.
Bao Zhan said: The coffin was just opened and there was no need for an autopsy. The body might have been stolen.
Assistant Tang said: We found one of the child's hands elsewhere!
The ancestral graves of the people in the village are all concentrated on the back mountain, which the locals call "Old Forest". In the early morning of the next day, Bao Zhan, Hua Long, and Assistant Tang excavated Cai Mingliang's grave. As expected, the grave head had been dug up.
The tomb was empty, and Cai Mingliang's body mysteriously disappeared. Strangely, Cai Xiaoxi's body was also missing, and the two children were buried together.
The village party secretary’s explanation for this is: the two children are baby relatives, and the baby parents are also husband and wife. When they die, they will naturally be buried together.
Bao Zhan collected samples of the soil around the tomb and took them back for analysis. There was paper money in the soil.
We even found fragments of firecrackers. This is a very strange thing. According to the local funeral etiquette, firecrackers are rarely set off during burials. This is unreasonable.
The bodies of three children disappeared mysteriously. Director Wang Lingjun attached great importance to it and presided over a case analysis meeting. The police officers present discussed the motive of stealing the bodies and the flow of the corpses. There were different opinions and it was difficult to reach a conclusion.
There have been many corpse theft cases across the country. For example, more than a dozen cases of corpse theft occurred in many towns near Xinxu. The Li Chenggou corpse theft case in Shilitian shocked the whole country. There was also the case of Renxiang Village in Longchuan Town.
, opening coffins, stealing corpses, beheading and removing the flesh, and then stealing the skeleton... This kind of gruesome thing has happened frequently in the past ten years.
Wang Lingjun said: Based on the analysis of corpse theft cases across the country, what is the use of corpse theft?
Su Mei said: In some places, if someone dies in a family, someone will be sent to guard the tomb after the burial. This has become a strange local custom.
Assistant Tang said: This is to prevent someone from stealing the body, which is rare here.
Hualong said: Cremation is now very popular, but many places refuse to cremate it. Some relatives of the deceased buy unidentified corpses at high prices to pretend to be cremated, and then bury the deceased secretly. Some of the stolen corpses are used for cremation under the false name.
Professor Liang said: There are also people who steal corpses and sell them to make human skeleton specimens for medical or other purposes. Most of the cases of opening coffins, stealing corpses and removing the flesh are motivated by this kind of crime.
Su Mei said: In the past few days, I have seen many files on corpse robbery cases, one of which was used to make specimens. The tomb robbers chopped off the heads of the corpses and discarded them, scraped off the carrion on the corpses, and only stole the skeletons.
The photo is disgusting. The top of a coffin has been lifted, and the bones have been stolen. Next to the grave is a yellow plastic bag containing the carrion scraped from the body.
An old criminal policeman said: According to superstition, the Ganoderma lucidum growing on the coffin can absorb nutrients from the corpse, so it is very precious and has excellent medicinal effects. Some criminals have stolen the Ganoderma lucidum grown from the corpse.
Su Mei said: There is another use for stealing corpses called Yin marriage. Yin marriage is the marriage between the dead and the dead. In some rural areas, there is also the custom of Yin marriage. With the increase in demand, the price of female corpses has been rising.
In order to make profits, some people steal corpses, and there are even cases of killing disabled homeless women or street prostitutes selling their corpses for secret marriages.
Bao Zhan said: Tsai Ming-liang and Cai Xiaoxi were probably matched for a shady marriage, and there was a reasonable explanation for the firecrackers appearing in the cemetery.
Su Mei said: The two children decided to have a baby wedding, and after their death, their parents may have held a wedding for them.
Bao Zhan said: Yes, their funeral was also a wedding.
Hualong said: The village party secretary was worried that his superiors would criticize him for engaging in feudal superstition, so he may have deliberately concealed this fact to keep the villagers secretive.
Wang Lingjun said: Find the child's parents as soon as possible and confirm the matter.
The old detective said: There is another criminal motive for stealing corpses, especially the corpses of children.
