One day in April 2015, my informant David provided me with an interesting clue that the Dongshan funeral home had lost the body of a woman who was a very popular online anchor before her death.

Incidents of loss of bodies in funeral homes occur occasionally and generally do not attract the attention of the public. Because the ones that are generally lost are those that are not claimed, and the funeral home itself does not say it, no one may ever find out. But this time is different, the loss of the body of a female Internet celebrity, whether this matter can be big or small, depends on the specific operation. I called Tian Jing and asked her if there was any possibility of this thing working.

Tian Jing said that she was chasing a coal mine explosion case that killed and injured thousands of people in other places, and she could not come back for the time being. But it's kind of interesting, I can look into it first and wait for her to come back.

I said okay, and then called Zhou Yong and asked him to go with me. When Zhou Yong heard that it was the funeral home, he immediately coaxed, saying that the place was panicked, and asked me to come back and find him again. I scolded him and asked him to help get the autopsy report and do some interpersonal research on the female anchor.

When I arrived at the funeral home, there were quite a lot of people inside. I handed over a cigarette and talked to the doorman, asking if I knew about the loss of the female anchor's body. The uncle said, "Then why don't you know? The anchor looks old and handsome, but his death is too miserable. I heard that there were no relatives at home, and no one cared about the body when it died. ”

The informant did not mention the death of the deceased, and I asked the uncle what was going on. After my cigarette, the uncle didn't answer me directly, but asked me what I was doing with this. I pulled out my fake ID and shook it in front of him.

The uncle casually pressed the cigarette butt in the flower pot next to him: "Didn't you come to check it once?" ”

I said, "I used to be a fan of this female anchor, and she died quite suddenly. I want to do something for her, and I can't get revenge. ”

The uncle stood up and nodded: "It's okay to check it, I heard that the wound on the girl's stomach took a lot of effort to sew it, so young, alas." On the way to the morgue, the uncle's mouth never stopped, "Don't look at us here, hey, but there is a lot of work." There are more than 30 hospitals that cooperate with our mortuary, do you know the armed police hospital? We are brothers, and we have a morgue for them. ”

After taking me to the morgue and handing it over to a staff member named Lao Yang, who said that he was a police officer who came to investigate the case, the uncle went back to watch the door.

Lao Yang opened the door of the morgue, and an uncomfortable cool air came to his face, and the refrigerator inside had four rows and ten columns. I tightened my neckline and asked Lao Yang which was the cooler for the female anchor. Lao Yang pulled out a refrigerator in the lowest row, and when I looked inside, there were some subtle drag marks and a small amount of coagulated blood. I asked Lao Yang who had the key to the morgue, and Lao Yang said, "I alternate with another person during the day and night shifts, sharing a key, and the curator has another one." ”

There was a chalk cross in the lower right corner of the anchor's refrigerator, and I asked Lao Yang what was going on. Lao Yang said: "The corpses claimed by no relatives will be marked with this, and there is also a girl next to her, who has been in it for five years, and she can't contact her family, so she just puts it like this." ”

I asked him who drew the fork, and Yang said he had drawn it, and pointed to the three rows of coolers below, saying, "Those are not often opened, and they are all unclaimed corpses." ”

I stood up and looked around the morgue where there was a safety exit on the side. I pushed the door open and walked up the stairs to the hall. In the hall, I received a message from Zhou Yong: "A villager called the police after finding the anchor's body in the cave, and the autopsy results showed that the cave was the first scene, and there were traces of poison use after testing, but the real cause of death was that he was stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp weapon and died of excessive blood loss." The body was sent to the funeral home after the autopsy, and the body was lost before the cremation was scheduled. ”

When I left the funeral home, I called Zhou Yong's cousin Ju You, who was a policeman, and she answered the phone and asked me indifferently what was the matter. I said something good and asked her to send someone to the Dongshan funeral home.

After the cremation system was introduced, there was one more profession in this world - corpse robbers. They steal all kinds of corpses (funeral home ownerless corpses and grave corpses) and cremate the deceased, while the deceased are secretly buried.

When I first became a Night Stalker, I worked with Lao Jin on a similar case, and their modus operandi was almost identical. At the funeral home, there is an internal response, after confirming that the body is unclaimed, draw a cross, and then close the inside and outside, and smuggle the body out - no one will check the cold boxes of the old corpses anyway.

If I guessed correctly, the "old corpses" on the lower three floors of the morgue of Dongshan Funeral Home have long been pulled out and sold by Lao Yang in contact with outsiders. If it weren't for the strange death of this female anchor, the police later came to investigate again, maybe the female anchor would be the same as other corpses, if it was gone, it would be gone, and no one would know in the end. Ju You's efficiency was as high as ever, and the police took down the corpse thief gang that night. Something so big happened, many people, including the curator, couldn't escape punishment, and I don't know if the doorman will be affected.

During the interrogation, the gang confessed to more than 40 cases of body theft, but they said they had never killed a single living person. I called and asked if Ju You's confession was credible, and Ju You said it was credible. I said, "Okay, thank you for telling me so much." ”

Ju You was silent for a moment and asked me, "Haven't you thought about living a normal life?" "I laughed and said I wasn't normal. Ju You hung up the phone.

I smoked a cigarette and called Tian Jing again, told her about the current situation, and asked her if she continued to chase the incident of the female anchor's death. Tian Jing said chasing.

I discussed it with Zhou Yong and decided to start with the main life of the female anchor - live broadcast. Zhou Yong took his mobile phone to show me the live broadcast space of the female anchor, which is really good-looking, with more than 100,000 followers. She paid a little less attention to the number of people, only three. The three people she pays attention to are a woman and two men, the female is named Annie, and the male ones are Dalong and Abei.

Zhou Yong has found the contact information of these three people. I dialed Dalong first, and it was his father who answered the phone. I said I was a friend of his son and asked him how to contact Dalong, and he told me that Dalong had died in a car accident the day before yesterday. I feigned sadness and asked him if I could talk, and he hung up after refusing.

At this time, Zhou Yong, who was listening to our conversation, had already found out about the car accident that happened in Tianyan City the day before yesterday. He didn't lie to me, the photo of Dalong was coded on the news.

After that, I asked Anne to meet at Zhongshan Road. She agreed, and brought her boyfriend, Bei - something I didn't expect, but it was okay to save a lot of effort.

Anne is an actress, and I asked her what she was doing on the day the heroine aired. She said she was on vacation in Bali with her boyfriend. She and the female anchor are close friends, and Ah Bei is the ex-boyfriend of the female anchor. Later, Abei split his legs, and the three of them broke up, and they hadn't been in touch for more than half a month. I checked the exit records of Anne and Bei, and there was indeed no time to commit the crime.

After I went back, I asked Zhou Yong to help me get the recent live broadcast data of the female anchor. Although her attention is relatively high, there are not many people who are really willing to spend money, either childcare or watching the excitement. Of course, the recent comments are all asking where she has gone. Fans of the female anchor still don't know the news of her accident. I found a somewhat special follower - he sent her gifts of more than 300,000 yuan in the three days before the anchor was found dead. I asked Tian Jing to help me contact her friends on the live broadcast platform and determine the specific location of this local tyrant ID - Wei Village.

Bulletin boards are very common, and you can pay more attention to the information on them when passing by

Wei Village is more than 200 kilometers away from the urban area of Yanshi, and it takes more than four hours to drive. When Zhou Yong and I arrived at the center of the village, it was just dark, and because of the rain, the wheels got stuck in the mud several times. In the center of the village is an open space with a simple open-air stage. Now is supposed to be the time for aunts and uncles to square dance, but the village is deserted. I got out of the car and walked around the open-air stage and saw a notice board. I turned on the flashlight on my phone and shone it on the notice board - all of them were missing person notices, old people and children, but most of them were women.

I was a little anxious, and I told Zhou Yong that I was going to the grove next to me for a little relief. Zhou Yongle said: "Brother Xu, it's so dark, you are urinating next to the car, and no one can see it." Don't worry, I'm not afraid of you messing with me in the car. "As he was talking, no one saw an old lady passing by on a bicycle, startling us both.

I finally saw a person, and hurriedly went up to ask about the notice, and the old lady said, "During this time, people are often embarrassed, and everyone dare not come out at night." ”

I asked her if she had reported to the police, and the old lady was a little emotional: "Why didn't you call the police!" But I haven't found any of them! ”

I saw that the old lady was a little trembling with excitement, and quickly changed the topic and asked her why she was still outside so late. The old lady said, "I'll go to the county to buy some fruit, the old man is sick and wants to eat some moisturizing." I said, "Then you are busy first, auntie." The old lady answered and rode away. I couldn't hold it anymore and walked to the back of the car and unbuckled my belt.

As he was lifting his trousers, a minivan drove up from a distance. A man got out of the car, dragged the old lady into the van, and scattered the fruit all over the ground. I was about to beckon Zhou Yong to go up, but the old lady was thrown down again, and someone in the car scolded: "I thought it was a little girl with so long hair!" It's okay to come out at night! ”

These minivans are easily exploited by criminals

I waited for the car to drive away, and hurriedly ran over to pick up the old lady. She was fine, just a little frightened. I returned to the car after a few words of instruction and told Zhou Yong to catch up. Zhou Yong said: "Brother Xu, they have been walking for five minutes, how can they chase them?" ”

I took my phone and showed him the marks on the dirt floor: "There are so few cars here, just follow the wheel prints in the direction they left, and you turn on the dipped lights all the way in a while so that you don't get noticed." ”

Zhou Yong looked at me and didn't speak, I said, "Okay, don't pretend to be with me, I know that your car is expensive, and you are not bad for money anyway." ”

After walking for more than half an hour, we found that the wheel print had turned into the gate of a factory. Zhou Yong is about to enter over the wall, I asked him to wait, generally there are dogs in this kind of rural factory, we have to pay attention.

Zhou Yong nodded, went back to the car and took out a spray, and I asked him what it was. He said that the car was parked in the courtyard of the community, and there were always dogs peeing on his car tires, so he bought an anti-dog spray on the Internet, and the dog didn't like the smell very much, and he hid away when he smelled it.

Zhou Yong and I sprayed some spray on our bodies and climbed over the fence into the factory. Inside is a factory, I told Zhou Yong that he checked left and right to the middle, don't risk entering the room, and take the next step after meeting in the middle.

Sprays to repel cats and dogs, friends who are afraid of dogs can give it a try

I started to check from the right, these factories have some pigs and poultry, and behind them is a field with cabbage. Further down the middle, the room was noticeably different from before, with iron fences on the doors and windows. I looked in through the window and couldn't see anything.

At this moment, a man came out of the factory building opposite, staggered in my direction, and I hurriedly squatted down. He was getting closer and closer to me, and I was about to suddenly jump out and knock him out, when Zhou Yong suddenly appeared behind him, gave him a brick, and then looked at me and said, "Factory bricks are easy to find." ”

I felt the key from the man who was knocked unconscious by Zhou Yong, tried it one by one, and opened the door of the locked factory. As soon as I opened the door, there was a foul smell inside. I took a deep breath, raised my collar to cover my mouth and nose, walked in, and turned on my phone's flashlight. There were a lot of big cages inside, I guess it was a dog cage, so I took a flashlight to shine inside, and suddenly a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at me, and the flashlight flickered and closed - it was not a dog, it was a human!

I calmed down a bit, told Zhou Yong about it, and took my mobile phone to the other cages - each cage was locked up with three or five people, the iron cage space was very small, let alone standing, movement was a problem, and I also found the source of the smell - they excreted directly in the dog cage!

Zhou Yong and I exited and locked the door. I asked him if there was anything else he had found, and he said that there were a few computers in the third room on the left, which might be where they usually worked, and I decided to check them out.

There are only three computers in this room. Zhou Yong and I opened these three computers, but none of them could access the Internet, and there were only some stand-alone games in them. But in one of them, I found a hidden folder. There are hundreds of personal information inside, with information such as appearance, age, height, weight, family background, etc., and prices ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan are marked below. After that, there is a note, which will write the time of unsold or sold. When I dragged the drop-down bar down, I found the female streamer's profile!

I've been a nightkin for so many years, and it's rare to find clues in my hands but can't figure them out, and this time it's a one-time thing. Zhou Yong asked me what to do now, and I asked him to call the police first, but he must contact the upper authorities through his cousin, and this matter must be done quickly.

After Zhou Yong finished calling, we set up the man who was stunned by him with a brick and returned to the car. After pouring three bottles of mineral water, the man woke up. Zhou Yong and I asked him for a long time, but this guy just didn't say it. Seeing that the time was passing little by little, Zhou Yong was anxious: "Brother Xu, the road is not good, and the police should arrive slowly." When the time is in their hands, we have to wait for the official announcement if we want to know what happened! ”

I said, "Look, buddy, the feed I found in your pig farm is rotten, and maggots are born in it." Maggots are very tenacious creatures that eat everything. If I make a cut on you and pour maggots into it, your flesh will be gone. If you hurt, I'll feel sick too, and it's not good for everyone. ”

It is true that maggots eat bacteria near wounds and necrotic tissue that hinders wound healing, which is medically known as "maggot therapy" [1]

, but maggots do not crawl inside after eating.

My buddy looked at me and said, "Don't scare me, I heard you say that the police are coming, it seems that we are finished." It doesn't matter if I talk to you, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Yan. ”

It turned out that they were a special "human trafficking organization" that abducted people from nearby villages or national highways who walked alone or had mental problems. After the buyer has chosen a partner for the marriage, they will take the person to the agreed location and kill the person on the spot with poison. They never go under the knife because it would damage the body and make the buyer unwilling to pay.

I asked him what was going on with the female anchor. He asked me if I had found it after investigating the female anchor, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "The first time I did this, it was all ruined." ”

Originally, this gang only trafficked in people who had been kidnapped. But a rich man found them and asked them to help get the female anchor in hand, match her son with a secret marriage, and promised to pay 5 million yuan after the deed. When they agreed, the rich man immediately remitted a million yuan deposit to them.

The person who gave a large number of gifts to the female anchor was the main culprit of this gang - Zhang Yan. After gaining the favor of the female anchor, Zhang Yan asked her out, took her to a cave in Wei Village to "explore" (this cave is actually the location of this transaction), and tricked her into drinking a drink laced with poison. The female anchor who drank the poison was not poisoned, and Zhang Yan stabbed her to death with a knife during the struggle. After the rich man came, he was very angry when he saw the scars on the female anchor's body, and said that it was unlucky to marry a girl who died in the dark. At this time, several villagers suddenly went up the mountain, so the two parties to the transaction fled before they had time to dispose of the body.

Before dawn, the police surrounded the factory, and after Zhou Yong and I handed Zhang Yan over to the police, we drove back to Yan City.

Zhou Yong and I were drinking at my house, his phone rang, Zhou Yong picked it up a few times, and hung up the phone: "My cousin, she said that Dalong's father committed suicide." You said this person, his son died, he found someone to bury him, and after being found, he felt faceless and committed suicide. ”

I snorted. Zhou Yong took a sip of wine: "Brother Xu, why do you say we always encounter this kind of thing?" ”

I was silent for a moment, then raised my hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Stop chattering, do a line of love!" ”
