The old woman was sitting under the tree, holding a yellow bamboo cane with both hands. Her white hair was blown by the wind, and the wrinkles on her face were like dried orange peels. She had no name, but the name in her household registration book was Zhang Tian, China.
Many of the elderly have no names.
The village director said: Zhang Tian, tell me about your history. Have you ever eaten people before?
The old woman said: What are you talking about?
The village director said: Think about it, there was a famine in 1960, and you ate people.
The old woman said: It has been 60 years... I have forgotten it and can't remember it. My family... was a poor peasant for eight generations, how dare you do anything to me.
This old man's thinking was still stuck in the past. She told the village director and the special case team that her family was of good background. From 1949 to 1979, for thirty years, Chinese people were proud of being poor. The old woman held on to her crutches.
Standing up slowly, she staggered. If she took a step, her body would shake and she might fall down at any time. Everyone looked at the old man's back. It was obvious that she had difficulty walking and could not be the murderer of the serial disappearances.
Back at the Jiba County Public Security Bureau, Professor Liang held a case analysis meeting.
The first disappearance case was a few years ago. It is very difficult for the police to investigate and can only focus on the recently missing persons. This case has many things in common. The nine missing teenagers are all young men and the missing times are concentrated in the morning or noon.
, the missing location was near the dirt road in Zhanghe Village. The police agree with the family members’ speculation that the series of disappearances may be caused by the same person or the same gang.
Professor Liang said: There are no signs of these children running away from home or being kidnapped. They may have encountered something unexpected.
Su Mei said: If it is a series of murders, what is the motive?
Bao Zhan said: We must rise to the level of a murder case and cannot treat it as an ordinary disappearance case.
Police Officer Mao asked: Could the murderer be cutting off the organs and selling them?
Hualong said: You are stupid. I really don’t know how you became the director. It is impossible to sell organs. Organ transplantation requires matching, prior physical examination, organ removal, preservation, and transportation. Every link is very complicated and professional. No.
What ordinary people can do.
Bao Zhan said: If you are murderous and want to take revenge on society, you should not choose the target.
Su Mei said: The missing persons are all young men. I think there may be sexual or homosexual motives.
Professor Liang said: The motive is unknown. I am reminded of the famous missing case of the frog boy in South Korea!
There are three major unsolved cases in South Korea: "The Missing Frog Boy", "Lee Hyung-ho's Abduction and Murder Case", and "The Hwaseong Serial Murder Case". The three cases have plunged the entire Korean society into panic. The multiple award-winning movie "Homicide"
"Memories" is adapted from the Hwaseong serial murder case.
The case of the missing frog boy is so bizarre and unbelievable that it was once adapted into a movie - "The Children".
On March 26, 1991, five primary school students in South Korea went together to catch lizards (misreported as frogs by the media) during the holiday, and then disappeared mysteriously. The family searched all over South Korea, and even alerted the then South Korean president, the police, and the army.
About 320,000 people searched together, but the search made no progress. It was not until September 25, 2002, exactly 11 years and six months after the incident, that the body was found in Wolong Mountain.
The five corpses have turned into white bones and are pressed together like a stack of Arhats. There is also a big stone pressing on the top layer.
The five teenagers had obvious signs of homicide. Their clothes were tied in a unique way. Experts said this was an unprecedented tie method. The police have not disclosed the specific tie method. You can try to tie them in a circle or in a circle.
They were collectively tied into a pile by the murderer.
The cause of death announced early by the South Korean police was "death from hypothermia." Later, the forensic team identified that the skulls of the three deceased showed signs of blunt force injuries, and some bullet casings were scattered at the scene. What is strange is that the bodies were not
A large number of hair and teeth are missing. It is known that tissues such as muscle, fat, etc. will decay, but teeth, hair and bones are difficult to be oxidized and can be preserved for many years.
The murderer was never caught...
Professor Liang arranged the work, and Officer Mao was responsible for investigating the last contacts of the nine missing teenagers, making a list and investigating them one by one.
The crime occurred on a dirt road. In addition to the villagers of Zhanghe Village, the people who appeared there were also employees of the nearby cold storage. Zhanghe Village and the cold storage were the focus of the investigation, and the murderer was probably hiding in these two places. Bao Zhan,
Hua Long and Su Mei concentrated their efforts on launching a detailed investigation with the cooperation of the local government. Every employee of the cold storage had direct contact with them, including transport drivers and other related personnel with business dealings. For the villagers of Zhanghe Village, the census results should be
The method is to go to the village and visit door to door, recording every person who has a criminal record and has been dealt with by the police.
The special case team analyzed that the murderer lived alone near the dirt road where the crime occurred, had the conditions to commit a crime, and was probably a person released from prison.
The characteristic of Chinese criminal investigation is the crowd tactics, which although clumsy, are often invincible. Bai Jingyu sent an inspection team to Jiba County, and Officer Mao did not dare to neglect, mobilized a large number of police forces, and went all out.
Su Mei and Bao Zhan installed monitoring equipment, two cameras, one fixed on the outer wall of the cold storage public toilet, and the other placed at the entrance of Zhanghe Village, and arranged for police officers on duty to monitor the dirt road where the crime occurred 24 hours a day.
At night, the surveillance footage was very scary. There were no street lights on the dirt road. In the darkness, any movement could make people fearful, especially in the small woods. The staff on duty had been watching for a long time and were extremely nervous.
In fact, as long as you pay attention, you will find that even in the city, there are similar eerie roads.
When walking at night, I always feel like there is a dark shadow following you. If you walk fast, he will follow you fast. If you run, he will run. When you stop, you will not see anyone when you look back, only the silence around you.
Darkness surrounds you.
Su Mei and Bao Zhan pretended to be staff of the Family Planning Commission. With the cooperation of the local government and the village director, they visited door to door in an attempt to find the suspect. On this day, the two worked late and had already finished dinner at the village director's house.
It was 11 o'clock in the evening, and the vehicle happened to break down, so the two decided to walk back to the County Public Security Bureau.
Zhanghe Village is not very far from the county seat. When passing by the dirt road, a creepy and strange thing happened.
At that time, the moon was hidden in the clouds. It was a dark night and it was very quiet. The grass on the roadside gave people a cool and strange feeling. Nine teenagers disappeared on this road and were probably killed. Perhaps their ghosts are still alive.
Wandering here... Su Mei couldn't help but feel a little scared when she thought of this.
The two of them walked side by side. Su Mei looked around and said: Xiaobao, do you have a gun?
Bao Zhan said: No, Brother Hualong often carries a gun. We are family planning cadres now, why do we carry guns?
Su Mei said: I have
A little cold.
Bao Zhan said: No, it's like spring here all year round.
Su Mei said: You are annoying.
Bao Zhan said: Ah... Xiaomei, are you afraid?
Su Mei said: No, I want you to hold my hand.
Bao Zhan hesitated for a moment and said: This road is monitored and people will see it.
Su Mei said: No matter, it's so dark that others can't see it, you have to listen to me.
Bao Zhan took Su Mei's hand and when he walked near the woods, he heard faint sounds coming from the woods.
Bao Zhan said: Hush!
Su Mei said: You bastard, don't scare me.
Bao Zhan said: It seems... someone is talking.
The two people stood still. The grove looked eerie. This area was full of eucalyptus trees. The trunks were not thick, and the crowns were shaped like towers. In the forest clearing, there were some low shrubs called "airplane grass" by the locals. In the darkness.
, I vaguely saw a person standing behind a tree and peeking at the dirt road. There were two red dots suspended in the air, which seemed to be the eyes of some ghost.
Su Mei was a little nervous and held Bao Zhan's hand tightly. Bao Zhan shouted: Who is there?
In the silence, as the clouds broke and the moon came out, there was suddenly a hair-raising scream. Two ghost figures ran out of the woods. Their posture was very weird. Their hands were swinging back and forth greatly, but their feet seemed to be touched by something.
They were restrained and could only jog in small steps. Both Bao Zhan and Su Mei were frightened by the scene in front of them. The two ghost figures became like zombies and jumped straight across the ditch by the forest. Bao Zhan and Su Mei held hands.
Standing blankly in the middle of the road, the two ghost figures turned around and ran away when they saw them. As they ran, they let out long, drawn-out screams like howls of ghosts and wolves.
Bao Zhan's vision was sharp and he recognized these two men as the village director's sons, whom he had met at the village director's house.
They returned to Zhanghe Village along the same route, and the two sons of the village director told about the horrific incident of encountering ghosts in the woods.
The two brothers had a reunion with their classmates in the county town and came home very late. Because there were many missing cases on that road, they walked together. When passing through the woods, the elder brother had diarrhea. He said to his younger brother: Oops, my stomach feels uncomfortable at night.
The Malatang you eat smells bad. Did you bring the paper?
The younger brother said: There is no paper. I have cigarettes. I can use the cigarette box to wipe my butt. I just... seemed to see an old woman in the woods.
My brother said: What time has it been? You are still joking. I can’t hold it in anymore and I’m about to cum in my crotch.
The two brothers went to the woods for convenience. In order to be brave, they lit cigarettes. The two red dots Bao Zhan and Su Mei saw were the cigarette butts in their hands. The brothers squatted in the woods, and the elder brother picked them up on the ground.
A few leaves were prepared to be used as toilet paper. At this time, the moon was appearing and disappearing in the clouds. The younger brother looked at his elder brother's shadow and saw a head suddenly appeared on his elder brother's shoulder. The younger brother was so frightened that he quietly pointed to the ground with his finger.
The extra shadow of the head disappeared, the moonlight disappeared, and it was dark. My brother saw nothing.
At this time, a gust of cool wind blew up the dust from the back. The local temperature was like spring. The brother was surprised why there was a cool breeze. The two brothers looked back and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
Behind them, near a tree, there was a person standing upright, wearing clothes similar to ancient costumes, with sleeves hanging down. What was mind-numbing was that the person's feet were suspended on the ground, and his head was
Hanging low and unable to see his face, what followed was an incredible scene. The man's body slowly floated towards them.
