The next morning, the four members of the special case team changed into civilian clothes and went to the village market for an undercover investigation.
The village market is just a sandy road, parallel to the national highway, and there is an asphalt road running through it vertically. Just like the scene map drawn by Bao Zhan, if you remove a horizontal line from the word "Feng", it will be the traffic lines around the crime scene.
Most of this market is street stalls, and usually there are only some vendors selling vegetables, fruits and meat.
Urban girls love to go shopping, while rural women love to go to the market.
Su Mei pushed Professor Liang in the wheelchair. Everything felt new. There was a roller coaster on the roadside. The carriage was filled with bras and trousers. Several women gathered around to choose. The vendor raised the bra in his hand and shouted: Ten yuan a piece.
piece, ten yuan a piece.
Hualong said: It’s so cheap. Xiaomei, do you want to buy one?
Su Mei rolled her eyes at Hua Long.
Bao Zhan said: If we don’t buy anything, it doesn’t look like we are going to the market.
Su Mei said: Xiaobao, you are going to die.
Professor Liang said: Don't make trouble, let's go get something to eat.
At the intersection of the market, there is a simple shed made of bamboo poles and raincloths. There are a few words written in paint on the bamboo poles: steamed buns, spicy soup. There are some burnt briquettes on the ground next to the shed, and the door is a cement block built with bricks.
On the platform, there is a wooden box nailed to the bricks. Inside is the electric switch, and a wire is connected from the electric switch to the telephone pole outside the shed.
The bun shop has ceased business, and there are a few bicycles in the shed.
Opposite the bun shop is a small restaurant selling haggis soup. It is also a simple raincoat shed. The four members of the special case team walked in and found a small square table to sit down. Su Mei felt it was unhygienic and lied that she was not hungry. Professor Liang
I ordered three bowls of mutton soup and a few sesame seed cakes.
Professor Liang pointed to the shed and said: Why is the bun shop across the street no longer open?
The owner of the small restaurant said: You must be outsiders. The steamed bun shop used to sell steamed buns, but they said they were selling steamed buns made with human flesh. No one bought them, so they stopped selling them.
Professor Liang concealed his identity and claimed to be a Taiwanese who came to the mainland to find relatives. He ordered another plate of sheep head meat and a plate of marinated tofu, and asked the boss to have a glass of wine with him and talk about human meat buns. Because it was morning,
The shop was not busy and there were no diners. The restaurant owner wiped his hands with his apron, sat down at the small table, and began to talk.
The owners of the steamed stuffed bun shop were a husband and wife couple who were relatively diligent. Before dawn and there was no one in the market, they got up to light the stove, make noodles, and boil a pot of spicy soup. That day, someone threw human flesh into the market.
, an old onion seller discovered it first and thought it was pork that fell on the ground. The bun shop owner also picked up a few pieces and thought they were pork. He washed them and threw them into a meat grinder, adding onions, ginger, and pork.
Grind them together into minced meat and make steamed buns.
After the police arrived, the couple did not dare to say anything about it, fearing that the police would confiscate their buns.
They claimed to the police who came to investigate that they knew nothing and saw nothing. However, someone ate a small clump of curled hair in the bun. It did not look like hair or bristles, and it should have come from the human body.
A certain part. From that day on, the story of selling human meat buns gradually spread. This rural market is located in a remote place. The vendors and marketgoers are all nearby villagers, and few outsiders come. After everyone knew about it, no one dared to do it again.
Eat their buns.
The four members of the special case team pretended to be shocked. It is difficult to distinguish from such market rumors.
True or false, the "ten real cases of human-flesh buns" circulating on the Internet have also been proven to be hearsay and fabricated.
The wire in the bun shop caught Bao Zhan's attention, and he asked: Does the bun shop have a freezer?
The owner of the small restaurant said: There is no freezer. Anyway, I have never seen one.
Hualong said: What are you doing pulling a wire?
The owner of the small restaurant said: He has a meat grinder and a blower to blow the stove. Besides, he gets up early, at four or five o'clock, so he has to turn on the light to work.
Professor Liang asked: Who is the old man selling green onions you are talking about? Can you call him over? I will buy him a drink.
The owner of the small restaurant said: When the old man sells the onions and closes the stall, I will call them for you.
Something seemed to have happened in the market. Some people looked up at the wheat field on the roadside. Some children watching the excitement ran forward with laughter. Professor Liang motioned to Bao Zhan and Su Mei to see what was going on.
It turned out that there was a young man and woman having a blind date in the wheat field next to the market. The young man was smoking a cigarette to hide his inner nervousness. The young woman was a little shy, lowered her head, and twirled a dead cricket with her toes.
As they asked and answered questions, the people around the market looked at them, and several children burst into laughter from time to time.
Su Mei watched for a while, then she pointed her finger at Bao Zhan and said, "Xiao Bao, come here, let's go on a blind date."
Su Mei imitated the movements and expressions of the girl on the blind date, also twirling the ground with her toes, and said shyly, "Do you think I hit the mark?"
Bao Zhan was a little dull and said: Ah, Sister Xiaomei, what are you doing?
Su Mei asked: How many people are there in your family, how many acres of land per person, and how many cows are there?
Bao Zhan understood and said embarrassedly: Sister Xiaomei, please stop joking.
Su Mei suddenly pinched Bao Zhan's ears, slapped him on the head again, and said: You are so stupid!
Su Mei and Bao Zhan returned to the small restaurant. The old onion seller had closed his stall and was sitting at the table. He was drinking with Professor Liang and Hua Long while talking about his discovery of human flesh. He added fuel and jealousy to create a glorious and tall image of himself.
The director of the Zhuang Township Police Station and the county police chief asked him about the case, and even the public security experts sent by the central government invited him to dinner.
Hua Long smiled and said: I absolutely believe this.
Professor Liang lowered his voice and said, "What's going on with the people selling human meat buns? Have you heard about it?"
The old man selling onions whispered: It's fake. We are enemies in the same business. They were all made up by the haggis soup seller, and he deliberately drove away the bun seller.
After returning to the township police station, Professor Liang made arrangements for work tasks.
The public security director first gave a mobilization speech, asking all participating police officers to put the interests of the people first, forge ahead despite difficulties, overcome all difficulties, and go all out to solve the case of frozen corpses.
Su Mei leads a team of female police officers who are responsible for checking the missing women in the county, identifying the source of the corpse, and confirming the identity of the deceased as soon as possible.
The criminal police brigade searched for all witnesses, especially the owner and couple of the bun shop in the market, and took detailed notes again.
Many eyewitnesses said that the body parts found were "cold", which shows that the place where the frozen bodies were frozen was not far from the market. With the village market as the center, surrounding villages were designated as key areas, and Director Dai and the security brigade were responsible for
Register and investigate every household with a freezer. Cold storages, meat joints, ice cream factories, etc. in the county have refrigerated refrigerators.
The location of the freezing facility must also be surveyed.
Hualong and Bao Zhan each set up a monitoring team, setting up two secret observation points at the entrance and exit of the market, and observing and waiting for the market 24 hours a day. Although the method of waiting and waiting is stupid, if the murderer comes again and dumps the body,
It is possible to capture it in one fell swoop.
Monitoring and waiting for criminal suspects is one of the important tasks of criminal investigation. Criminal police nicknamed this kind of work as "squatting".
However, most squatting is as uncomfortable as constipation.
There was a wanted criminal in Shaanxi who had been on the run for several years. Several police officers took turns squatting in a pig pen. They lived and ate with the pigs. After two weeks of staying there, they finally discovered the wanted criminal.
Several rape and robbery cases occurred in a certain place in Heilongjiang. The gangster followed women who went to the toilet at night and committed crimes with a knife. Two policemen squatted in the men's toilet for a whole month and finally captured him.
Hualong's observation point was set up at a motor-shaft house on the roadside of the market, and Bao Zhan hid in the haystacks of the wheat field. The first two times of dumping the corpses were at night, so they had to brace themselves for the whole night to catch a glimpse.
Staring at the market without blinking.
Professor Liang assigned forensic doctor Qin Ming a very challenging task.
Professor Liang said: You are not the only forensic doctor in your county public security bureau. They can do these simple tasks of finding out the age, height, and weight of the deceased. I will give you a difficult task, but I don’t know if you can do it.
competent.
Forensic doctor Qin Ming asked curiously: What mission?
Professor Liang said: Let me see your ability first.
At that time, the police chief was accompanying Professor Liang to dinner. There were some leftover chicken bones on the table and some chicken in the soup basin. Professor Liang asked forensic doctor Qin Ming to reassemble the chicken bones into a chicken skeleton. Forensic doctor Qin Ming was busy
After two hours, exhausted and sweating profusely, he used toothpicks, chopsticks, and even a needle and thread to finally piece the chicken and leftover chicken bones together into a whole chicken.
The police chief clapped his hands and cheered, but Professor Liang shook his head, very dissatisfied.
Forensic doctor Qin Ming said: I understand, you want me to put the body parts together.
Professor Liang said: Yes, but you cannot damage the body parts, and toothpicks, chopsticks, needles and threads must not be used.
Forensic doctor Qin Ming formulated a corpse assembly plan after repeated research. He classified the 357 body parts discovered so far, spliced them together according to the human body structure, and then used quick-freezing technology to glue them together, and finally found a wooden frame.
, carefully stood up the human bone puzzle.
This is a standing half corpse. It looks very scary. It has no head, hands and feet. The broken wrists are exposed with white bone stubble. The arms are also made of fragmented corpses. The skin is like cracked earth.
The butt looks like half a watermelon stuck on it, and the saw cuts on the chest and abdomen are even more shocking.
The first time the corpse was sawed, the corpse was kneeling; the second time the corpse was sawed, the corpse was lying flat.
The murderer sawed diagonally from the shoulders of the deceased to the perineum, and then sawed the buttless half of the body into pieces. During this time, the body may have been thawed, so the postures were different when sawing the body twice.
The saw marks on the back were crisscrossed like a chessboard. Turning to the front, you could see that there was a pit in the lower abdomen of the body, and it was obvious that a piece of meat was missing.
Professor Liang asked: Where did this piece of meat go?
