One hundred and seventy-fourth section harvesting and cutting
Li Ziyu only felt a cold air creeping up his spine, and could not help but shiver. There are thousands of kinds of activities in the Chinese network, ranging from plundering sheep, lying and deceiving to murdering people. But the most terrifying and the most excruciating.
What people fear is this harvesting and cutting.
The so-called "picking and cutting" is the most vicious and vicious type of professional beggars. They artificially create some cripples or "monsters" as a guise to gain sympathy from the world, or to attract large amounts of charity from passers-by.
money.
"Pull" means to take and collect; "生" means raw material, usually a normal child; "cut" means to chop with a knife or axe. Simply put, it means to capture a normal living person, especially a child.
, using knives, axes, and other methods to turn him into a strange and disabled monster.
When Li Ziyu was a child, she heard many similar things said by her elders, such as a beggar who used an abducted child to make a deformed man with a big head: he bought a large vat and just put the child in it, with his head exposed at the bottom of the vat.
Knock off a large piece for excretion. The child cannot move in it. After a few years, the jar will be smashed. The child only has a head but not a body. He looks like a big-headed baby. Because the limbs cannot move, they are completely atrophied and the arms and legs are soft.
It was like cotton and could be manipulated at will. If it were to lure a monster, it would attract a lot of curious onlookers wherever it was taken. Even if it was caught, he couldn't do anything. He insisted that the child was his and that he was born like this.
There are also market legends about "creating animals" - piercing the skin of the human body, killing the animal, peeling the skin and wrapping it while it is hot, and then the human being is turned into a dog, monkey, etc., used to beg and perform in exchange for money.
―It even made Li Ziyu often have nightmares at night when she was young.
Later, he became a policeman, and in his spare time, he listened to the old workman who was retained talk about similar cases. Doing this is also a "craft", and it is mostly passed down from family to generation. To do this, you must first find the raw materials and make the work.
The weaklings such as women and children are preyed upon. Women are called "Tiaozi" and children are called "Stones". When "harvesting", they often use various deceptions, such as family members suffering from serious diseases, emergencies at home, or using items to lure women and children.
.Some also use drugs to "shoot flowers". With one move, several people will take advantage of it at the same time, and immediately run away after succeeding. The "cutting" method is bizarre and extremely cruel. The people who are kidnapped will be blinded and blinded.
They may disfigure their face, cut off part of their limbs, or create various artificial disabilities. Then they pretend to be a family and go around begging in various pitiable ways to get money and things.
This business is highly profitable, but because the methods are extremely cruel, it has been a serious crime in all dynasties, and it has been punished by Lingchi since the Yuan Dynasty. However, because of the huge profits, this "craft" has never disappeared. During the Ming and Qing dynasties,
It has even formed a one-stop service of abduction-transportation-processing-sales.
Cases of harvesting and cutting of raw materials have also been uncovered in the past under the Guangzhou Prefecture. However, most of these were due to chance, which attracted the attention of the chief officer or the police. In most cases, as long as the "picking and cutting" of raw materials was not done on the ground
, just begging with "products", the government will not ask. On the one hand, if you ask the other party, you can also insist that they are a family. The victim is often blind and mute, and it is difficult to ask the origin of the case;
It is better to adopt the principle of one less thing. Beggars must register at the Guandi Temple when begging, and the Guandi Temple pays filial piety on a monthly basis, so the police are generally not willing to bring shame on the people of the Guandi Temple.
"Even if I'm lying, this is a top-notch case." Gao Chongjiu said, "I'll be busy for a while."
Li Ziyu hurriedly said: "I would also like to ask Master Jiu for more support."
"Why are you so polite? We are all our own people." Gao Chongjiu said with a smile, "Don't worry about Ming Nu. I will ask people to continue looking for her!"
"Thank you, Master Jiu."
A "brother" came over and saw Li Ziyu standing aside. He hesitated for a moment. Li Ziyu made a move to avoid him. Gao Chongjiu said: "Ayu is one of our own, but it's okay."
He whispered: "Master Jiu, someone from the Guandi Temple just came to say hello and said that a high-ranking person would like to greet you. He didn't dare to ask Master Jiu to show his respect. He only asked Master Jiu to take care of you."
Gao Chongjiu smiled: "This old boy, the news comes quickly!" He asked again, "How can Gao Tuantou respond?"
"Brother" nodded towards the few people tied up in the courtyard, "There is a rich man in there, and he is full of evil..."
Gao Chongjiu smiled and said nothing.
"What should I do, Master Jiu?" This "brother" blinked and looked at the "boss". As long as the boss spoke, even if someone was watching, he would still call the prisoner "died of sudden illness."
"This thing can't be done." Gao Chongjiu said simply, "Go back to the people he sent. Now the rules are different from those of Fake Ming. I forgive my brother for not taking good care of me. Please take care of yourself and worry less. In a few days
He will hold a birthday party in the next month, and I will also go to celebrate his birthday."
"Brother" nodded and accepted the order. Li Ziyu was a little worried - he knew Gao Tianshi's name: a top figure in the city bureau. The leader of the Guandi Temple troops had amazing power in Guangzhou. They
Less than half an hour after he rushed into the inn, he not only knew about it, but also sent a lobbyist. No wonder the security department was extremely interested in the situation of the Guandi Temple troops.
Thinking about this "Master Jiu", he also had amazing energy - he originally thought that Gao Chongjiu was just an experienced and well-connected old businessman, but he didn't expect that even someone like Gao Tianshi would call him a brother.
Not to mention, there were quite a few Kuaiban yamen who had friendships with Gao Tianshi, and even had deep friendships, but none of them were retained, and some were simply "liquidated." And Jiuye was not only retained, but also
He soon became an official criminal police officer - which shows that Australians also trust him quite a lot.
"This group of people is not simple. There is actually Gao Tuan who is behind the scenes." Gao Chongjiu said and touched his chin.
"Master Jiu!" A "brother" came over nervously and said, "Come and take a look, this place is not fucking clean!"
Gao Chongjiu didn't seem surprised. He followed his "brother" into one of the thatched huts and saw an altar table in the middle, with incense burners and other items scattered around. A few sticks of incense were not extinguished. There seemed to be a god in it. At this moment,
It was gone, but there were all kinds of "evil objects" scattered everywhere in the room: wooden seals with talismans carved on them, red and black ropes, various paper figures, inscriptions on the talismans, and seven or eight gourds of various sizes.
Tie a red-headed rope and wrap it with five-color velvet.
Li Ziyu looked at the items in the room with disgust and recited the Diamond Sutra silently in his heart. Gao Chongjiu looked solemn and looked at each item silently. After a while, he said: "No wonder the old guy Gao Tianshi is worried!" He pointed.
Looking at these objects, he said, "Do you know what these are?"
"They always use all kinds of evil things."
"Each of these seven or eight gourds contains a living soul." Gao Chongjiu breathed heavily, "This group of people is not just cutting and making livestock, they are gathering raw materials."
Li Ziyu was startled, and subconsciously leaned towards the door, stammering: "This, this, this, it doesn't matter, right? How about we invite a few Taoist monks to do a ritual first..."
Gao Chongjiu shook his head and said: "We will do the legal work later. Don't worry. It is a great merit for us to solve this case. These lonely ghosts who died unjustly will only be grateful to you," he sighed.
He clasped his hands together and muttered a few lines of "The Mantra of Rebirth".
Gao Chongjiu said that "picking and cutting" in "picking and cutting" actually has another meaning: killing living people and harvesting their souls for driving. When killing people, there is a whole set of magic rituals to kill people.
After that, his soul was collected in the gourd, ready for the owner to drive him to cause trouble.
Li Ziyu was horrified when he heard this. He never imagined that there could be such a spooky and terrifying thing in the world. He couldn't help but take a few steps closer to the door.
"I have been a police officer for more than 30 years, and I have only encountered this kind of case once." Gao Chongjiu sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect that you would encounter it within one year of being a police officer."
I don’t know if this is luck or misfortune. Li Ziyu secretly laughed at himself. But he also knew that the most important thing when handling cases is the accumulation of experience. Working with an old police officer like Gao Chongjiu, he has indeed gained a lot in knowledge and knowledge.
Others are probably still "not gay".
Gao Chongjiu had no intention of leaving. He checked the room carefully for a while, then suddenly walked to the door and asked, "The woman was talking about a boy, have you found it?"
"Brother" said: "No one was found."
"Call a few brothers to come and dig around in this house." Gao Chongjiu said, "I think the smell in this house is wrong."
After a while, two or three people came in. They did things in a very orderly manner. They first lifted up the bamboo couch next to the wall. One of the "brothers" twisted the soil on the ground with his fingers and said, "It's new soil!"
"dig!"
Gao Chongjiu gave an order, and several people started working together. They immediately dug up the soil under the couch. Without digging too deep, they dug out a large piece of purple-black soil - soaked with blood stains. Several people were refreshed.
, worked harder, and after a while someone shouted: "Be careful! It's done!"
Several people slowed down their shovels and soon dug out the bones of a child from the ground. It had probably been buried not long ago and the body was not hard yet. The body was covered with moist sand. Gao Chongjiu took care of it and put it outside.
Put the body on the reed mat.
Although the body was covered with mud, one could still see the horrific conditions of the killing. The facial features, nose, mouth, lips, tongue, the tips of the ears, and eyes were all cut off or gouged out. The tips of the hands and toes were also chopped off, and the upper body, chest and abdomen were cut open.
It was filled with mud and sand, and I don't know what organs were cut off.
"Master Jiu, do you want some water to wash it off?" a "brother" asked.
"No need, this is a matter for others. Let's not touch the body." Gao Chongjiu said, "The Australians will send someone to do an autopsy."
Li Ziyu took one look and couldn't bear to watch anymore. When he fled to Zhaoqing, he also saw many corpses floating on the Xijiang River, but this was the first time he saw such a tragic scene.
"It's too miserable." He murmured. (To be continued.) 8
