Chapter 29 Bottled Eye Beads

The evil dog grinned and let out a threatening roar. It grabbed a human bone from outside, and it also connected half of the mud-stained heel. Bao Zhan plucked up his courage to pick up the bone. The evil dog rushed over and bit Bao Zhan's trouser legs, turning his head and biting it. Su Mei was so scared that she screamed. Hualong seized the opportunity, kicked it, and kicked it on the dog's head. The dog ran out of the yard with a scream of pain.

Su Mei asked with concern: Baozi, are you okay? Should you go for an injection?

Bao Zhan was not injured, but his pants were torn to pieces by the dog. He waved his hand and said no.

Let’s check the bones of the human on the ground together. The irritable old man Li calmed down and muttered: Unlucky, the dead bones of the dog’s paws were dug out from which grave.

Cremation has been carried out in the local area for many years. Some people die. The urns are usually placed in coffins, and the remains are rarely buried underground. The human bones brought back by the dog are still connected to the undecayed flesh, which shows that the death date is not too long. Combined with a series of recent disappearances of teenagers, the two are likely to be related.

Hualong and others took Old Man Li back to the police station. Several police officers searched Li Lao Man's house, but found nothing.

Old Man Li has a stubborn temper. Officer Mao used a lynching during interrogation. The old man suddenly suffered a stroke. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and there was no serious injury.

Hualong asked Officer Mao: Why are you hitting him? The old man is so old.

Officer Mao handed over a cigarette and said: Even if he was not a suspect, his dog bit his comrade Bao and killed him.

Old Man Li could not tell where his dog brought the human bones, and the police did not find any suspicious points in his house. The old man confessed that he had "changed his son and fed" with his neighbor Zhangtian decades ago. At the end, he burst into tears.

Because of hunger, their children starved to death. They couldn't bear to eat their own children, so they exchanged food for each other.

Professor Liang ordered DNA comparison between human bones and the family of the missing person. The case quickly made a major breakthrough. The identification results showed that the bone brought back by the dog of Mr. Li's family came from the missing person Wei Guan!

The evil dog has disappeared since he was kicked by the dragon.

Professor Liang mobilized police force to find a place to bury the body in the surrounding area with Zhanghe Village as the center.

Nearly a hundred public security officers conducted extensive searches in the fields and the riverside under the bridge, and four special case teams also joined the team. Professor Liang instructed: Everyone should focus on finding the latest landfill traces, and also see where the dogs had dug up, and there might be bodies buried below.

Hualong and Su Mei both held wooden sticks and were joking while searching in the vegetable field.

Hualong said: There is a snake!

Su Mei said: Nothing is there? I hate it. You scare people, but I am holding a weapon.

Hualong said: "You little thing, you won't cry if you beat me up. You are wearing high heels and walking in the vegetable field, you won't be afraid of spraining your ankle."

Su Mei said: There was no time to change the shoes, and the high heels could test the hardness of the soil layer, making it easier to find the place to bury the body.

Hualong said: Xiaomei, you have stepped on shit.

Su Mei looked down and saw a piece of black shit on the heel. She poked it with a stick in disgust. The two people suddenly thought that stepping on the shit means that there was a dog. The dog in the old man Li's house might be the corpse dug out from near the vegetable field. They told Professor Liang

After reporting, Bao Zhan brought several police officers over.

Bao Zhan was the first to find the place where the corpse was buried.

He stood in front of a tall weed by the vegetable field. It is rare for grass to grow so tall. The grass is more than one person tall, with leaves as big as a palm fan, with thick rhizomes, and some of the same weeds growing around it. It is just very low, not as tall as this grass, which is scary. He looked at the ground and said: Dig.

The grass grows on the corpse, with fibrous roots reaching out of the eye sockets, coming out of the mouth, the side roots pass through the ribs and penetrate deep into the ground, and the white roots are densely wrapped around a corpse.

The corpse becomes nutrients for this grass, so it grows thick and tall.

After a long time, several police officers finally dug out the corpse and the grass above. People found that there was a pair of green autumn pants under the corpse.

Professor Liang felt that this autumn pants looked familiar and seemed to have seen them somewhere, but he couldn't remember them for a moment.

Officer Mao asked: Whose vegetable field belongs to?

The village director said: This is Zhang Youmin’s vegetable field in the village.

Professor Liang remembered that he had chatted with several elderly people at the entrance of Zhanghe Village, among which he was named Zhang Youmin. At that time, Zhang Youmin was wearing a long-sleeved top with a pattern of dove flying around the tree on his chest. The top and the autumn pants found under the corpse were the same color, both of which were blue.

Officer Mao asked: How old is Zhang Youmin?

The village director thought for a while and said: He was born in 1955 and is almost 60 years old.

Officer Mao said: Could it be someone else who buried the body beside the vegetable field? He is almost 60 years old and has the ability to kill the young man?

The village director introduced that Zhang Youmin had killed people when he was young. In 1978, Zhang Youmin worked in a Wayao Factory and had a good time with a teenage child in his other village. The child went home with him. He killed the person in the middle of the night, broke his limbs and threw his body on the ridge of the river. Zhang Youmin was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. He was sentenced to 19 years in prison and was released in 1997 and returned to the village. He still doesn't know what his motive for murder is.

Zhang Youmin had no children and had no children, and his parents died when he was in prison.

When he returned to the village, the old house at home had long collapsed, so he built a house with wood to live in.

Professor Liang immediately made three arrangements:

1. Zhang Youmin is suspected of committing a crime, and plainclothes detectives secretly monitor Zhang Youmin.

2. Confirm the identity of the corpse unearthed in the vegetable field as soon as possible, and let the family members of the missing person identify the blue autumn pants.

3. Expand the search scope and find other places to bury the corpse.

The excavated bodies have been ossified, and some families can no longer remember the clothes they were wearing when their children disappeared because they were long ago.

The father of the missing teenager Yang Zhe provided a clue to the special case team, which was also related to Zhang Youmin.

Yang Zhe's father was the first person to suspect Zhang Youmin. In 2007, his son disappeared in Zhang Youmin's hut. He had been searching for three years, but his son was still missing. One night in December 2010, a boy came home from evening study. Zhang Youmin strangled the boy's neck with a belt behind his back. The boy broke free and fought with Zhang Youmin. Another child heard the sound and ran out to help. The two pressed Zhang Youmin to the ground together. After calling the police, Zhang Youmin argued that he was having fun with the child.

Unsolved. After hearing this, Yang Zhe's father went to the public security organs to report the situation again. The reply he received was: This old man was a little crazy and drunk.

This clue attracted the attention of the special case team. Professor Liang immediately sent Bao Zhan, Hualong and Su Mei to Zhang Youmin's house to investigate. At the same time, the police found some of the corpses, clothes and personal belongings of several victims in a dry well and a circular puddle near Zhanghe Village.

The case was extremely shocking, and local villagers ran out of their homes to watch. In order to prevent the masses from taking photos, the police had to pull up the cordon and cover the excavation site with cloth.

Zhang Youmin was not in the village, but was playing chess in the pavilion of the cultural park in the town. The plainclothes detective in charge of surveillance noticed that his face was a bit abnormal.

Zhang Youmin's home is a black shed made of broken wood, covered with asbestos tiles, air leaking everywhere, and a few pieces of rags hanging, which is contrasted with the beautiful buildings of the surrounding neighbors.

A police car parked in front of the door, and the village director, Hualong, Bao Zhan, and Su Mei got out of the car.

Everyone was busy for a day and had no time to eat. The case was urgent, so the village director had to buy a few cups of hot soy milk.

Bao Zhan said: There is no one at home, we don’t have a search warrant, how can we get in?

Hualong kicked open the shaking wooden door with one kick and said: Why is there so much trouble?

Su Mei said to the village director: You can be a witness.

There is a cart in the yard, with the soil on the ground, and adobe cottage is a kitchen, with mud peeling off to the ground. There is an empty doghouse in the open-air corridor between the kitchen and the main hall. There are some beer bottles in the corner of the yard wall behind the doghouse. Some bottles have water and green moss. Through the cracks in the wall, you can see that there is a wooden bed in the main hall, and the quilt on it is so dirty that it is difficult to identify the color. Some tattered clothes are piled on the bed. The most valuable thing in the room is a shabby TV.

Everyone went to the kitchen to check it out first. The light inside was very dark and the smell was bad. Su frowned and placed the soy milk cup on the wooden chopping board.

The village director said that Zhang Youmin often pushed a cart from the old house to the vegetable field. He usually liked to raise puppies. Sometimes in the middle of the night, he would turn the TV loudly and the barking of the dogs spread, perhaps because he wanted to cover up something. Some villagers also found that one night, Zhang Youmin sat quietly at the entrance of the village without saying a word, looking creepy.

Su Mei picked up the soy milk and continued to drink it. She felt that the taste was a bit weird. As she drank, the straw was blocked. She opened the lid of the cup and saw a round thing inserted into the straw, which was a little shriveled by her.

Hualong said: Strange, why does there be a dumpling in your soy milk?

Su Mei glanced at it and vomited with a wow. The round thing was a human eyeball!

After searching, there was a jar of wine on the windowsill of the kitchen. Wolfberry was soaked in wine, and a small round yellow snake and grass ginseng were plated into a round shape. More than a dozen eyeballs were found inside. When Su Mei put down the soy milk, the lid of the cup slipped off, and she held the lid and straw in her hand and turned to play with it. Maybe the mouse grabbed the eyeballs from the jar to the beam of the room, and happened to fall into the soy milk cup...

In recent years, no one has ever been to Zhang Youmin's home, and the villagers have not had any contact with him.

The jar of medicinal wine with eyeballs was placed openly on the windowsill, and a well-pickled and air-dried human leg hung on the wall of the cupboard.
