Even though she had guessed this fact a long time ago, Lin Shuyue still couldn't accept it when it was really confirmed.
In the human world, cannibalism is undoubtedly abominable, incomprehensible, and even horrible. It is not only denied in terms of human ethics, but also causes great harm to the body. In the previous life, when mad cow disease was introduced into China, Lin Shuyue had searched for this disease online out of curiosity.
She not only found out the cause of mad cow disease, but also found out that in some backward cannibal tribes in Africa, there is also this "virus". It is a virus produced by cannibalism - prion. This virus is actually a protein. Most of this protein is stored in the brain of a dead person. When this protein enters the human body, it will sneak into the human brain and slowly lurk.
If you are lucky, they will lurk for more than ten years before breaking out. If you are unlucky, they can kill a person in just ten days. When this virus breaks out, the whole body will shake and tremble, the urine and feces will be incontinent, and the nervous system will be out of control. When this virus breaks out, some people drown in their own urine and feces, and some people die from laughing. Therefore, this virus is also called "laughing death disease."
This statement does not mean that you will not get the virus by eating the muscles of the same species, but the incidence rate is not as high as directly eating the brain and internal organs.
Lin Shuyue looked at Dr. He and Dr. Fu who were captured without a fight, and then glanced at the owner of the barbecued pork buns shop who was lying in a pool of blood. His chest was still heaving, and it was obvious that he was still breathing. After hanging up the call from his colleague at the Public Security Bureau, Hang Jiabai called 120.
The Kaixin District Police Station arrived the fastest. After Hang Jiabai showed them his ID, he explained the situation to them.
Upon hearing that the barbecued pork buns shop might be selling human flesh buns, several police officers from the Kaixin District Police Station could not bear it any longer. Two of them ran out quickly and started vomiting into the trash can on the street.
The remaining few people also looked very bad.
The shop owner next to the barbecued pork buns was already pale. They were close to each other, and sometimes when they didn't want to cook, they would just go to the other shop to get food. The barbecued pork buns tasted good and were convenient to eat, so they became the choice of most people.
Now that they know this is made of human flesh, who can bear it?
Wu Dongyan from the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the forensic doctors finally arrived. As soon as they got out of the car, several forensic doctors went straight to the kitchen.
The kitchen of the BBQ pork buns shop is similar to that of other bun shops. There are two basins on a large stainless steel panel, one of which is the fermenting dough, and the other is the meat filling that has been mixed with various seasonings and stir-fried to the point where you can't tell the color.
A forensic doctor picked out some of the minced meat from the basin and put it into a transparent evidence bag.
Another forensic doctor opened the extra-large refrigerator in the back kitchen. There were many things in the refrigerator, most of which were pieces of meat. After taking out a piece and looking at it, the forensic doctor said directly: "Let someone come in and take all these away."
Wu Dongyan and several others entered wearing gloves and carrying bags. After a while, they had filled ten bags.
The bags were carried into the car one by one, and the people who came to watch the fun had already vomited out in twos and threes. Lin Shuyue took a photo of this scene and the things on the kitchen counter.
The proprietress who collapsed in the kitchen died on the spot, and the boss in the front hall died before he could even get into the ambulance after struggling to survive for so long.
Their deaths did not bring much sadness, as some people who had bought buns at the BBQ bun shop picked up things from outside and threw them on them and in the shop.
The police tried to stop them but failed, and those who threw stones started to curse at the door. The scene was in chaos.
The owner and his wife of the barbecued pork buns shop were taken away.
Lin Shuyue and the others also had to go back. On the way back, Lin Shuyue sat in the passenger seat, Wu Dongyan and Jiang Zhou sat on both sides of the car, and Dr. Fu was detained in the middle.
Dr. Fu seemed to become talkative at this moment.
"Are you a reporter?" Dr. Fu asked Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue nodded, and Doctor Fu said, "Then let me tell you about my sister."
From the time they were arrested at the BBQ pork buns shop until now, Dr. Fu and Dr. He have not said a word. They confessed to the murder and were not panicked even when they were caught at the scene.
Now that they were in the car, he was willing to speak and no one stopped him.
"My sister's name is Fu Rou. She is 26 years old this year. She is very beautiful and kind. She is the kind of person who would not even step on an ant on the roadside. She treats people with kindness. She always teaches me that more friends mean more paths. If you treat others with kindness, others will treat you with kindness in return."
"Tell me, how could such a good person be killed?" Doctor Fu's eyes were red, and his face was no longer as warm as before, but became cold.
"They hit my sister with their car. The reason was ridiculous. He and Old Wang were drinking that night and felt the snacks were not fresh enough, so they wanted to get something new to eat." Doctor Fu's words made Hang Jiabai, who was driving, grip the steering wheel tightly.
"My sister was sent to the funeral home, and Ran Kangshun took a piece of meat from her body. Even at this time, they still didn't let her go. You must have seen Ran Kangshun's son Ran Xiaodong, right? He was a little beast born from a big beast. He insulted my sister, and after that, my sister was not let go. She was sent to their hometown and sold to a local man who had been dead for many years for 5,000 yuan. They arranged a ghost marriage for them."
Doctor Fu's eyes were filled with anger. He tried to get up from the car several times, but was pushed down each time.
Lin Shuyue's recorder had already started recording. She asked Dr. Fu, "How did you find out about this?"
Doctor Fu turned a deaf ear to Lin Shuyue's words. He continued, "After my sister was sent to the funeral home, I wanted to see her for the last time, but Ran Kangshun and that beast Wu Rong refused me for various reasons. It was not until the day of cremation that they let me take a look."
Everything was normal up to this point. Dr. Fu later took Fu Rou's ashes and buried her on the mountain. Whenever he missed her, he would always go up the mountain to talk to her.
"Half a month ago, I missed my sister so much that I went to see her. I accidentally stayed on the mountain until midnight, and Old Wang thought I was gone."
"It was twelve o'clock in the morning when I came down the mountain. I wanted to say hello to Old Wang, but before I even got close to his duty room, I heard him on the phone. On the phone, he angrily accused Ran Kangshun of being dishonest. A body worth five thousand yuan and an organ worth twenty thousand yuan, but he only got a small amount of the money."
"He said that my sister was a nurse, had a respectable job, was pretty, and had a gentle personality. He didn't know how long he had been looking for such a good girl. But Ran Kangshun drank too much cat urine and hit her too hard, which made the girl look ugly and devalued. That was his problem, he didn't care, and he had to give him the commission he deserved."
"When I heard about this, I was struck by lightning. Can you believe it? A living person, in their eyes, is just a commodity. For the sake of money, they have lost their conscience. They are no longer satisfied with the people sent to the funeral home. They have begun to reach out to those living people." It took Dr. Fu a long time to calm down when he said this.
"You can check whether there are more young women, men, and children missing in the area in the past two years than before. Also, check whether there are more young people who died in accidents and were sent to funeral homes in recent years than before."
After he finished speaking, Wu Dongyan asked him, "What about He Hai? What's going on with him?"
Doctor Fu looked at the dark scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding. "That day, I went down the mountain from another side of the cemetery. When I was going down the mountain, I saw the white shadow that was widely circulated. I chased after it, and that white shadow was Brother He."
Everyone knows what happened afterwards. Both of them knew the inside story of the funeral home. They talked for a long time and then began their revenge plan.
Doctor He pretended to be a ghost to divert people's attention, while Doctor Fu sneaked into the duty room of the funeral home in the middle of the night and used a veterinary syringe with a replaced needle tip to inject the air inside into Ran Kangshun's brain.
It didn't take long for Ran Kangshun to die. Doctor He arrived at the cemetery this afternoon. He controlled Old Wang and forced him to tell the truth.
"Senior Brother He's father passed away last year, and he was cremated at the Baixun Funeral Home. According to the custom of Senior Brother He's family, the body needs to be taken out after one year of burial and buried in another place. When Senior Brother He took out his father's urn, he accidentally opened the lid of the urn and found something wrong inside."
"There was actually a complete bone in his father's urn. After he took it out, he found that it was the skeleton of a teenager." Generally speaking, there would not be large bones in an urn, and it was even more ridiculous to find the skeleton of a teenager in the urn of a man in his seventies.
"People are getting older and older, and it's impossible for them to grow older in reverse. He used his connections, spent money, and had a professional appraisal done. It turned out that the bones were indeed those of a teenager, and he had no blood relationship with them at all."
"Brother He couldn't accept this fact, but he didn't confront them. He just quietly paid attention to the Baixun Funeral Home. Then he found that everyone in this funeral home was not a good person. He sneaked into the funeral home and learned the funeral home's handling procedures."
"When a dead person enters the funeral home, the director Wu Rong will first evaluate the body. If there are usable organs in the body, they will be removed and specially preserved and sold to underground organizations. After selling the organs, they will sell young women to remote mountainous areas. The price varies depending on the completeness of the body, age, and occupation."
"Children and young adult's organs were directly sold after they have them removed. The main distributor of the stolen goods is the couple who opened the new shop. They are the most ruthless, because they don't want to pay a high price for good meat, so they set their sights on funeral homes."
"Do you know how much a pound of a person's flesh costs? Regardless of the part of the body or the age, it's all 50 cents a pound. 50 cents, so cheap! You can buy a pound of flesh from a person for the price of an ice cream cone."
"You know what? They have been selling human flesh for ten years and have already built a two-story house in their hometown. They bought a very nice house in the city. Their son is even getting married soon."
"Do you think it's funny? Hell is empty and the devil is on earth."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the owner and his wife of the barbecued pork shop are from the same place as those people at the funeral home."
Doctor Fu said these words calmly, but no one could ignore the hatred in his eyes.
The car was very quiet. No one in Lin Shuyue's group spoke. Goose bumps appeared on their hands.
They all underestimated the viciousness of human nature.
Lin Shuyue silently turned off the recorder. After a moment of silence, Lin Shuyue asked Hang Jiabai: "Can the organs of human bodies be preserved for such a long time after death?"
Forgive Lin Shuyue, she really lacks knowledge in this area. She has always believed that human organs fail as the brain dies.
As a doctor who studied medicine professionally, Dr. Fu replied to Lin Shuyue after hearing this: "It is possible in a specific container at a specific temperature."
"You may not believe it, but the funeral director named Wu Rong was actually a student of Yangcheng Medical College."
The car was still silent. The funeral home in Baixun Village was opened more than ten years ago, in the 1980s. Medical students in the 1980s were very respected and had considerable incomes. But why did Wu Rong choose not to enter the medical system after graduating from college, but to open a funeral home that had nothing to do with cattle and horses? What was it for? There was no other reason except money.
"We really didn't expect you to find out about us so quickly, otherwise, we would have killed everyone in the funeral home. But it doesn't matter, it's almost time now."
Doctor Fu's words made Hang Jiabai's hands tremble. Wu Dongyan asked directly: "Do you have any accomplices?"
This sentence did not get a response from Dr. Fu, he just smiled at Wu Dongyan.
Hang Jiabai's phone rang, and he picked it up: "Captain Hang, we found the Ran family. Ran Xiaodong and his mother are gone, and the murderer has been arrested."
Before Hang Jiabai hung up her phone, Wu Dongyan's phone rang again. She looked at Jiang Zhou on Dr. Fu's left and answered the phone: "Sister Wu, Fengda, the undertaker of the funeral home, was found drowned in the sea."
Jiangzhou's phone rang, and he quickly answered it: "Ah Zhou, why can't the boss get through to Sister Wu? When we just received the news and found Director Wu's home, Director Wu was stabbed many times and has been sent to the hospital. It is uncertain whether he can be treated."
Before Jiang Zhou could say anything, the person on the other end of the phone said, "We found the cremator you asked me to find at the funeral home under a cliff in Shangshan Town, Yunguan City. He has been dead for two days. There is another body next to him. It is a female, about 18 years old. She has been dead for three to five days. Her heart is gone."
As the news came in one by one, the smile on Dr. Fu's face grew bigger and bigger. As he smiled, he lowered his head and a tear just flowed down his face.
His elder sister had never had a good day since she was a child. She was only ten years old when his parents disappeared. Life with her grandparents was not good. They didn't dare to eat too much for fear of being scolded. His elder sister always rushed to do the work because she was afraid that if she didn't work, she would be disliked and her grandparents would not support them. So she did all the work, whether it was in the fields or in the land.
At the age of thirteen, she started a small business. Part of the money she earned was given to her grandparents for living expenses, part was her tuition, and the rest was kept for him.
Before she died, she called him and told him that someone was pursuing her, a village official, and she had decided to agree.
She was apparently living a good life, but she died just because she finished a night shift and walked at night. She had to suffer that kind of treatment even after her death.
The car was driving on the road late at night, and in the car, there was Dr. Fu's uncontrollable crying, full of longing and pain.
