Chapter Twenty-Eight

In the middle of the night, who would appear in the woods in ancient costumes?

How can a person float in the air?

How could it float over?

With this series of questions, the village director took the flashlight and greeted several young and middle-aged villagers, and went to the grove with Bao Zhan and Su Mei. Hualong received a call from Su Mei and drove to the bush with a team of criminal police.

The headlights shone on the woods, like daylight, the detective started a search and soon found a body in the forest.

A man was hanging in a mourning dress in a bush.

After the village director identified the deceased, the old woman named Zhangtian. She was leaning on a cane, carrying a stool, and carrying a mourning dress and a roll of hemp rope. At night, the old woman wore a mourning dress, which showed that she was determined to die. On-site inspection showed that she committed suicide. The way of hanging was very strange. To be precise, she was hanging on the clothesline.

Hayashi tied the hemp rope to two trees, which looked like a clothesline. She put on her mourning clothes, put her belt on one end of the clothesline, tied a knot, stood on a stool, and put her head into the rope circle. After hanging herself, her body was blocked by the branches, and the moonlight casts the shadow of her head to the ground. Then, the wind blew the branches, and the old woman's body gradually slid from one end of the clothesline to the middle. Her hands drooped, her head tilted, and floated silently.

The two sons of the village director were convenient in the forest. When they saw this scene by chance, they were extremely shocked and ran away without even taking up their pants. Su Mei and Bao Zhan happened to pass by. When they heard the screams, they stood still on the dirt road. Both sides were shocked.

The author of this article has collected all kinds of strange ways of hanging. If a person is determined to die, he will sometimes be very creative. The final inspiration comes from the god of death, just to end his own life.

A bizarre murder occurred in a community in Chengdu. What is terrifying is that the body of the deceased was found on the trees in the community. The deceased was a man and a woman, and was hung face to face on a branch three or four floors high on the ground. Some people speculated that they committed suicide.

On the Longhai Railway Line, a worker was hanged at the connection of two carriages, using a stick and a tie. The train with a corpse was passing through many cities and witnessed by many people. The accidental glance was preserved in memory as a thrilling scene.

There is a peasant woman in Xiangxi who is lying on her back and hanging herself. She is very rare to hang herself in a lie. She strangled her neck with iron wire and tied it to the base of the corn threshing machine. She also tied an iron wire to her ankle, connecting a stone mortar. She lay on the ground, kicked the stone mortar into the well with her feet, and strangled herself to death with the help of the falling stone.

Although the old woman, Shoten, committed suicide, something strange happened. The special case team speculated that she might know the secret of the boy's serial disappearance.

Bao Zhan said: In the countryside, it is not uncommon for some elderly people to make funerals and prepare their funerals for themselves.

Su Mei said: The old lady is so old, why did she commit suicide? She has lived all her life, but why did she suddenly feel unhappy?

Hualong said: I think she may have really eaten human flesh.

Professor Liang said: If this is the case, the village director's words may have stimulated her and reminded her of some painful memories.

Bao Zhan said: Where did those missing boys go without seeing anyone alive or dead?

Su Mei said: It is not kidnapping, it is not revenge, nor can it be abduction. If everyone is killed, what is the motive for the murder?

Hualong said: In addition to sexual motivation, there is another kind of thing.

Professor Liang said: Cannibalism is also a motive for murder.

The special case team decided to thoroughly find out whether Zhangtian had eaten a person. The next morning, the special case team came to Zhanghe Village. The village director summoned some elderly people and sat under the old willow tree at the entrance of the village. In order to avoid the elderly's rejection, Professor Liang pretended to be a university teacher, claiming to write county annals, and asked about the matter in the past in a chat.

In 1960, the Akita family was 27 years old and had two daughters, Dani was six years old and Xiaoni was only one year old.

It was the period of "three-year natural disasters" and several old people confirmed that Xiao Ni from the Shogun family starved to death that year.

Professor Liang asked: What natural disasters were there at that time, drought or flood?

An old man recalled: No, the weather was good in those years, and there were no disasters here.

Professor Liang said: How come some people starve to death?

The old people started talking and talked endlessly about the not-far-distant era. Things that starved people to death in the village often happened. In those years, by the river and in the fields, there were many figures carrying baskets to search. After eating all the wild vegetables, people began to eat grass roots and bark. According to some old people's recollections, elm leaves are the most delicious and sweet, and can be made into elm leaf steamed buns. The elm bark can be dried and ground into noodles. Many people fought to peel the elm bark back then. Sophora flowers are also delicious, but the flowering period is short and not enough to eat. Poplar trees are difficult to eat, bitter taste, and they will poison people if they are not handled well.

The old man A slapped the old willow tree with his hands and said: This tree was skinned and eaten at that time.

Old Man B said: I had eaten soil. At that time, I was so hungry that I lay on the bed, with only a skin left in my stomach, and my eyes couldn't open, and my sleeves were bitten to pieces. I was so hungry that I took a large clay jar and filled some Guanyin soil with it as fried noodles.

The old man C pointed to a stone with a crispy texture and said: I have eaten stone noodles. I crushed the stone, ground it into noodles, stir some leaves, and put it on the pancake glass to dry and eat it. You can’t eat too much, and you won’t start by eating too much.

The old man said: I was so hungry back then that I couldn't stand it, and there were people who could eat people, so I saw them with my own eyes...

The old man knew he had made a mistake, and some other old men also chose to remain silent about this topic and left one after another. Professor Liang left the old man, named Zhang Youmin, who was sixty years old, and in 1960, he was still a five-year-old child. He hesitated and found some excuses, claiming that he could not remember the age at that time and refused to continue talking.

The village director once heard his old father talk about Zhangtian’s cannibalism, and Professor Liang visited him.

The old father of the village director told some horrifying things in that era. In 1960, many people were so hungry that they could not bear it and ate people. As soon as the starved bodies were buried in the ground, someone dug open the graves and cut off the dead meat at night. Some villagers, whose children were starved to death, could not bear to eat their children, so they exchanged with their neighbors and exchanged their children for food. Zhangtian and his neighbor, Old Man Li, exchanged their children for food. Xiaoni of Zhangtian, starved to death, and Old Man Li's youngest son also starved to death. They discussed it and decided to ask the other party to help bury them. In fact, they knew that the exchange burial was actually given to the other party to eat. At that time, the brigade cadres convened a meeting of members. Zhangtian had just cooked Old Man Li's youngest son in the pot. She broke a calf and put it in her arms and went to the meeting.

The oil lamp was dim and the brigade cadres were giving the highest instructions, which was to read a news about "a million kilograms per mu". The members were drowsy when they heard it. Zhang Tian sat in the corner, took out a small foot from his arms, hid it in his sleeve, and ate it quietly.

Everyone smelled the aroma of meat and turned around. Mrs. Jokyota was eating while crying silently.

This incident was rumored at that time and was well-known. However, the brigade cadres were worried that the superiors would blame him and warned the villagers that cannibalism was a rumor and no one was allowed to speak nonsense, otherwise it would be a slander of the people's commune.

Many years have passed, and people at that time chose to forget, but this painful memory has always been preserved in the heart of Shoda.

In the end, she hanged herself.

On April 23, 1961, the Public Security Department of a certain province wrote a "Report on the Situation of Special Cases" (referring to Cannibalism) to the Provincial Party Committee. The report stated that "since 1959, there have been 1,289 cases of cannibalism." In just one province, there are more than 1,000 cases of cannibalism. How many provinces are there in the country?

Su Mei asked in confusion: Why is this happening?

The old father of the village director said: In those years, people had no food, and they also helped foreign countries. Are you stupid? In 1958, steelmaking was a big deal. If they didn’t make steel, they would be counter-revolutionary. People had to throw pots, shovels, nails, and all iron things at home into the earthen stove. At that time, the leaders believed that the steel production exceeded that of Britain and the national economy could surpass Britain. The people stopped farming and went to make steel. If the pots at home were gone, they would gather together to eat. This was called big pot rice. People in the village had eaten together, thinking that this was a ** society. Newspaper day

God brags, and you dare to tell such a huge lie as a 100,000 kilogram per mu. Every province and every county must brag, otherwise you will be backward. Well, if you ask you to brag, you will collect grain according to the amount you brag. Now, the people have no food to eat and they are handed over. They can only eat grass roots and tree bark, and starve 30 million farmers to death. They also said it was a "three-year natural disaster". Does anyone believe this? It is such a large area in the country, even if the disaster occurs in some areas, it cannot last for three years and will not last for three years. Now, they are embarrassed and renamed it the "three-year famine" period...

Hualong, Bao Zhan, Su Mei and the other two went to Li Laohan's house. This is a typical rural family. There are pigpens and doghouses in the yard, and there are portraits of ** in the main hall. The corners of the walls are covered with spiders, and all the furniture is shaky and everything is so dilapidated. There is an incense burner on the Eight Immortals table in front of the portrait, and a tea jar with a porcelain-deleted tea jar, which is inserted into it. The remaining words "Serve the People" on the tea jar are blurred and identifiable.

Hualong and the other two showed their police identities to explain their purpose.

Old Man Li said that although he and Zhangtian were neighbors separated by a wall, they never contacted each other and did not speak even when they met.

Su Mei asked: She is dead, have you heard of it? Baidu @安(.*Fu)天—Ten Sins

Old Man Li said: This old madam will die if she dies, and it has nothing to do with me.

Bao Zhan asked tentatively: Uncle, did you have a young son who starved to death in 60 years?

Old Man Li's face turned pale and he didn't say a word. After a long time, he said: No.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Old Man Li’s TV was on, just playing "The Legend of Zhen Huan". The queen mother in the TV series said: "This time you have nothing but a child, and the next time you will be yourself."

Hualong and the other two asked a few more questions. Old Man Li suddenly became furious and drove the three out of the door. He picked up a basin of washing water and cursed and wanted to spill it on Hualong and the other two.

Old Man Li gritted his teeth and said: Gengguggugguggugguggug, you are the police. I am not afraid of old man. If you dare to ask nonsense, I will fight with you a few. I have a cerebral hemorrhage and a heart disease. I will kill you.

Hualong and the other two hurried out. At this time, the dog from Old Man Li ran back. It put down a bone in its mouth and barked. Everyone saw that it was a shin and the white bone still had the flesh of the soles of the feet.
