Chapter 42 The Butcher Shop Case

Miss Anna was very lucky, and she quickly found the newspaper they were looking for. Aaron, who has always regarded her as a target for his ability, must have better luck than her due to his extraordinary ability.

Therefore, he can get this unexpected gain.

"The case of the human flesh butcher shop?"

Aaron frowned, took the newspaper off the shelf, and read it carefully.

This newspaper is not a big newspaper like the Empire Times, but a small newspaper called The Observer. Generally speaking, the influence and credibility of this small newspaper are not reliable.

At least eight of the ten murder cases recorded above were fabricated by shameless reporters to gain attention.

But Aaron still caught the key word at a glance - the case of the human flesh butcher shop!

If the Kingdom of Flesh Train comes from the Voyager derailment case, then what about the Kingdom of Flesh Butcher? Does it also have a prototype?

Could it be this "human flesh butcher shop case"?

Aaron lowered his head and read the report carefully.

Just as Aaron expected, the reporter from the "Observer" also wrote in a story-telling style. It didn't look like a serious and serious news report at all, but like some kind of horror story - this is this kind of story.

One of the ways for small newspapers to ensure sales is that in this era of lack of entertainment, the absurd horror stories in newspapers are considered the best form of entertainment for many middle-class people.

This report begins with the opening of this butcher shop.

The owner of this butcher shop is a fat, middle-aged man, who is known as the "Fat Butcher", but the Fat Butcher is not an old butcher, because he claims to be a butcher who changed careers halfway. Before that, he was a butcher.

A corpse collector in a small town. Later, with the money he had saved from more than ten years of work, he bought a ticket to Lundini, took the Voyager to the capital of the empire, and opened a butcher shop here.

.

However, even though he changed careers halfway, the fat butcher is quite skilled in his butchering techniques. Once a piece of meat falls into his hands, it will be chopped into the size and quantity the customer wants in a few strokes.

The business of the Fat Butcher's butcher shop was quite bleak at first, which made the Fat Butcher anxious. This butcher shop made him abandon his job and risk all his savings! If he loses all his money here,

Not to mention a happy life in the future, it is difficult to maintain even a basic livelihood.

The Fat Butcher wanted to chase his dream, but the dream gave him a sap without mercy.

In order to reverse the decline, the fat butcher began to seek medical treatment urgently. He first organized promotional activities, and then hired people to encourage his butcher shop, but these methods had little effect.

But in the end, he managed to gain a foothold in Lundini, and his business gradually prospered.

The Fat Butcher's transformation came from the ham he cured.

This ham made Fat Butcher's business extremely popular. There was an endless stream of customers queuing up to buy ham every day. Even the business of the butcher shop became better. All the customers praised him for curing the ham.

The ham is extremely delicious.

Some people asked the fat butcher about the secret of pickling, but he justly refused.

Presumably, the secret of curing ham is the fat butcher’s trade secret. How could he tell others about it?

But as the Fat Butcher’s business got better and better, more and more people were curious about how he cured ham. Soon someone discovered that although the Fat Butcher’s business was very good every day, he never seemed to go there.

The slaughterhouse has received goods!

Several slaughterhouses in Lundini have confirmed this finding.

Combined with his identity as a corpse collector.

A rumor that sounds a bit absurd, but is somewhat feasible if you think about it carefully, begins to spread - maybe the ham sold by the Fat Butcher is actually made of human flesh!

The fat butcher did such an evil thing for the business of the butcher shop!

As time goes by, more and more evidence points to the correctness of this "truth".

The Fat Butcher soon became the target of public criticism, and finally committed suicide out of fear of his crime.

He died in his sinful butcher shop and hung himself on an iron hook.

Until his death, no one knew whether the meat used in this butcher shop was human flesh.

After Aaron read this, he put down the newspaper in his hand and frowned.

The content of this report is very high, and many parts of it are fabricated at first glance. It is an urban legend that is popular among people in the city but is not very credible.

But Aaron had seen flesh and blood butchers slaughtering human flesh in the kingdom of flesh and blood.

Is this story true?

"Aaron, what are you looking at?" But at this moment, Anna put her little head next to Aaron, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and saw the report about the human butcher shop at a glance, "

Huh? What’s happening?”

"Anna, do you know about this case?"

Aaron looked at Anna in surprise.

"Well, not only do I know, I also know this person." Anna pointed at the "Fat Butcher" in the report, "His suicide occurred twelve years ago, but it was not because he was found to have committed suicide with human flesh, but because he was found to have committed suicide with human flesh.

He was forced to commit suicide by loan sharks."

"Ah?"

"The cured ham meat of this fat butcher was indeed delicious, and the business was indeed booming at first, but because of this, some people also focused on the sauce for his cured ham meat. The fat butcher rejected all the businessmen who coveted his secret recipe, but soon

, rumors that he used human flesh spread in the market, so unscrupulous reporters like this come to harass the fat butcher every day."

Aaron raised his eyebrows.

"The power of rumors is powerful, not to mention that there are malicious people behind it."

Anna narrowed her eyes, her tone mixed with a bit of dissatisfaction and murderous intent:

"Even the slaughterhouses were bribed to spread rumors that the fat butcher had never purchased goods from them and began to refuse his orders. The fat butcher had to go back to the countryside to purchase goods and bring them back, so the amount of meat the butcher shop could sell every day was reduced.

, the business also became deserted - even the customers who did not believe in any human meat butcher shop naturally chose other butcher shops because there was no meat to buy."

"The Fat Butcher was not a corpse collector at all. He borrowed a lot of usurious loans to open this butcher shop. Naturally, the business was deserted and he could not repay the loan. In the end, he hanged himself in his butcher shop and became the butcher shop's hanger.

The only piece of human flesh left alive."

"How do you know this?"

"I knew from my father that he was a regular customer of that butcher shop and originally wanted to help the fat butcher who was wronged get out of trouble, but before that, the fat butcher was forced to commit suicide... until

After the fat butcher passed away, my father found out that he had borrowed so many loan sharks in order to open a shop."

The report is false.

Just like the report Aaron read in Flesh Train, it was full of unfounded speculations and accusations against the parties involved (Lawrence and the Butcher).

But that's not the point. The point is... both reports took place twelve years ago, and both correspond to a flesh-and-blood divine kingdom.

It’s hard not to think of something.

Aaron frowned, looked at the bookshelf filled with "Twelve Years Ago", and said to his companions: "Anna, can you help me find out all the 'major cases' that happened twelve years ago?"

?"
