Chapter 47: Ignorance

We have progressed from a distant primitive society, but we have not brought with us the morals and qualities that have been passed down for thousands of years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info - Bonding

The capital has not snowed since the beginning of winter, and Zhao Shen checks the daily weather forecast to see when the snow will fall, but there is no definite news. Lu Zhenhuan laughed at him in the special office of the strange case team, and Zhao Shen did not refute it, and turned on his mobile phone to watch the snow scene and disaster in Xingling, with relish.

In their dry and boring days, a series of panick-causing things happened in the distant city of Xiping:

The head of Xiping Shangcun was skinned and killed in the winter moon, and the flesh and blood were blurry and people couldn't bear to look at it directly;

In the Xijie Temple in Xipingxia Village, a puppet with blood-colored eyes unexpectedly appeared on a snowy day, and was placed next to the Buddha and smiled strangely at those good men and women;

On the old archway of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Xipingjian Village, on the third day after the heavy snowfall, human skins filled with straw were hung!

The Xiping City Criminal Investigation Brigade set up a special team to track and investigate the case at the beginning of the first murder case, but it did not expect that two more appalling strange things happened one after another, and the residents of Xiping City were panicked, and the specific manifestations were as follows:

The leaders of the major square dances are all closed, and there is no Divine Comedy that disturbs the people at night;

The low-price promotions of major shopping malls have no longer attracted people of all ages, and the shopping malls that were prosperous in the past have deserted a lot;

The major catering establishments and takeaway delivery workers all went on strike, and the takeaway companies raised prices to appease and did not save the hearts of employees to stop working;

The latest reports of various media and newspapers are published every day, and there is an eye-catching gossip every day, but unfortunately there are no books and periodicals sold except for mobile phones and live broadcasts.

I think someone is sure of ****: isn't it just a murder and two man-made panics? Isn't there a police detective? It's necessary to make it look like the end of the world and the RB devil entering the village!

Yes, you're all right, but you forgot an old Chinese saying: "Rumors spread ten, and ten spread hundreds." These seemingly bizarre cases, in the mouths of some people who are excessive, are not just paradoxical cases, but also horrors with urban legends and rb weird conversations.

This is the most interesting rumor that the author has seen in recent years

1. Citrus maggot incident

"Tell family, classmates, and friends not to eat oranges for the time being! This year, Guangyuan's oranges were found to have small maggot-like insects on the white whiskers after peeling. SC buried a large number and sprinkled lime ......" this was written in a message from 2008. From mobile phones to computers, I don't know how many times this news has been maliciously forwarded and disseminated, and soon there were media reports that "insects and oranges were found in a certain place", although the authenticity is unknown, but it was reprinted on the Internet and really intensified people's panic.

Since late October 2008, it has led to a crisis: China's second-largest fruit, citrus after apples, is seriously unsalable. In HB province, about 70 percent of citrus is unattended, with losses of $1.5 billion. In BJ's largest Xinfadi wholesale market, traders began to sell oranges cheaply, selling them at 0.8 yuan to 1 yuan per catty on the 21st, and the price was only half the next day. SD Jinan, in order to prove that their oranges are insect-free, some traders have to eat 6 to 7 catties a day to "show the public".

2. Rumors of an "earthquake" have frightened millions of people in SX

From February 20 to 21, 2010, the news about the imminent earthquake in some areas of SX spread wildly through SMS, Internet and other channels, due to the rumors of the "earthquake", millions of people in dozens of counties and cities in the six places of SX have taken to the streets since the early morning of February 20 to "avoid the earthquake", and for a time people were panicked everywhere. The official website of the SX earthquake was paralyzed for a while, and it was not until the morning of the 21st that the SX Provincial Earthquake Bureau issued an announcement to refute the rumors that the panic was eliminated.

3. The "explosion rumors" led to the mass flight of JS Yancheng and the death of some people

At 2 a.m. on February 10, 2011, it was reported that an explosion was about to occur at the Daiwa Chemical Enterprise in Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park, XS County, YC City, JS Province. As a result, some people in Chenjiagang, Shuanggang and other towns who did not know the truth panicked one after another, and left home, causing a number of car accidents, resulting in 4 deaths and many injuries.

At 4 p.m. on the 10th, the local public security department preliminarily identified and arrested Liu, the source of the rumors in this case. After investigation, at about 10 o'clock in the evening of February 9, Liu sent soil to the new Lvlilai Chemical Plant in Xiangshui Ecological Chemical Park, and found that there was hot gas in a workshop in the factory. More than 20 people including Sang Mou were present and immediately notified their relatives and friends to evacuate. The chain of propagation of this rumor was invisibly formed. In the process of propagation, the Lvlilai chemical plant was replaced by another enterprise in the park, the Yamato chlor-alkali plant, and the extent of the incident became more serious by word of mouth, which eventually led to a mass exodus of 10,000 people. At about 4 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, due to the snow and the dark road, a restructured agricultural vehicle with more than 10 people in the eight groups of the Shuanggang Town Neighborhood Committee slid into the river, 2 people died on the spot, and another 5 people were injured.

The people in the above incidents all caused certain incidents to occur because of rumors, and those people who did not know the reason listened to the rumors and blindly followed. So, when rumors of a haunted city in Xiping appeared on Weibo, Xiping City had fallen into a panic called "ignorance". Although the police held many press conferences to persuade and explain, most residents still believed in the rumors of hauntings, and some even made a lot of ill-gotten gains, hanging evil spirits and selling spiritual talismans, earning three or four thousand a day.

The Xiping police thought that the matter that could be solved by clarifying turned into a tragic incident the day before the winter solstice: in order to prove the truth of the recent rumors, a resident of a building at No. 20 Xikou Road in Xiping Shangcun actually beat up the group of young people who were arguing, two of whom died on the spot due to throat bleeding, and the other more than ten people were slightly injured. After learning of the news, Zhu Mucheng, the chief of the Xiping Police Department, broadcast the news that the rumor-mongers had been arrested live on the TV station, but was injured by several old ladies within minutes of leaving the TV tower. In desperation, he reported the case to the provincial public security department.

At this time, the people in the provincial public security department who learned of the incident were: the director of the provincial public security department, the head of the communication group of the provincial public security department, the director of the capital police bureau and other cadres at all levels under the provincial department. After hearing about this strange case, they had a conversation that lasted less than half an hour:

Director: "Director, how do you think this case should be resolved?" ”

Superintendent: "I think it's easy to solve!" ”

Director: "How can we solve it?" ”

Superintendent: "I'll call my protégés and solve it!" ”

Director: "When did you have a protégé?" ”

Superintendent: "...... Strange Case Team! ”

Director: "Oh! It's them! ”

Superintendent: "Don't look surprised, you can't see the treachery and anticipation in your eyes?" ”

Director: "......"

At 9:14 a.m. on the day of the winter solstice in 2013, the Strange Case Team landed in this village-type city with snowflakes and rock sugar. Zhao Shen smiled and rubbed a ball of snow and played, Lu Zhenhuan then joined in, and the two of them had a lot of fun, completely forgetting the existence of Xiang Haoshan and Xie Ziheng. Xie Ziheng and Xiang Haoshan looked at the two monkeys who were "tearing each other" on the snow in the distance with disgust, and said in unison: "How can you have such teammates!" ”
