◎Chapter 44 Boy Eggs

A rotting hand suddenly appeared on the boy's mother's stomach, and she shivered with fear and fainted to the ground. The husband hurriedly stepped forward to rescue her, shouting her name loudly. Professor Liang picked up the hand, and everyone looked up in unison, and it was obvious that the hand had fallen from the sky.

Assistant Tang stood on the grinding plate, looked at the old tree and shouted: Who is on it?

The dragon took out his gun, and everyone thought that there was a person hiding in the tree, so they threw down this hand, and it was difficult to see clearly in the night. The dragon fired a shot at the tree, and the two crows flew away with a few strange screams.

A woman in the next-door neighbor's house heard the gunshots, curiously opened the window and looked in.

Her man gritted his teeth and said: Mother-in-law of the dog day, what are you looking at, hurry up and close the window, the gun will kill you, and it will be no good for the crow to bark.

Two crows circled and flew around the old tree, making strange cries from time to time. Often regarded as an evil bird, the crow likes to nest in desolate fields or around graveyards, such as the lonely dead tree in front of the old house of the deceased boy. When the dragon climbs the tree, a crow attacks him, and the dragon takes aim and fires a shot, and the crow flutters its wings and falls to the ground. When the dragon descended from the tree, he poked the crow's nest down, and when he smelled it, the crow's nest emitted the smell of rotting flesh.

This rotting little hand is supposed to have fallen from a crow's nest.

A neighbor reported that the grave of the boy in red had been dug up, and a sudden heavy rain had ruined the work of identifying the footprints in the cemetery. Bao Chu, Assistant Tang, and the neighbors who led the way looked at the empty tomb in a daze, and the rain was pouring in the field.

Who dug up this grave, and where did the body of the boy in red go?

There was water in the tomb, and all traces of the crime disappeared with the heavy rain. Judging from the accounts of eyewitness neighbors alone, it is believed that someone dragged the boy in red out of the grave with a rope, and it looked like a corpse had crawled out of the grave.

The boy's mother had come to her senses and claimed that she was going to sell the old house and never come back. Professor Leung reassured the parents of the deceased, saying that the police would investigate the disappearance of the body until the truth was clarified.

After returning to the forest public security police station, the four members of the special case team were all drenched in soup and exhausted, and Assistant Tang took out a few clean clothes from the duty room for them to change into. On this day, everyone experienced a lot of unbelievable strange things: first knocked on the door in the middle of the night, leaving a green corpse liquid handprint on the door, and then went to the old house of the deceased boy to investigate, and a hand fell from the tree, and when they rushed to the tomb to investigate, the body of the boy in red disappeared......

Assistant Tang made a pot of hot tea and took out bags of roast chicken and canned beef. Everyone had no intention of eating, just drinking tea around the table.

Professor Liang held a steaming cup and said: This case is very strange, everything is so weird.

Assistant Tang said: There are not many cases of digging up graves and robbing corpses here.

Su Mei said: If the child's body is buried shallowly, will it be dug up by wild dogs, wild boars, or something?

Bao Chu said: According to the scene, it does not look like an animal, it is clear that someone dug up the grave and dragged away the corpse.

Assistant Tang said: What is the purpose of robbing the body? Is there some other hidden secret?

Bao Shu suddenly said: I know what is going on knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

The dragon said: Is it related to the crow?

Bao Chop said: That's right, someone made a ghost, put a rotten little hand on the nail of the door knocker, and then quietly left. The intention was to intimidate us into getting out of the case. The slimy smell of carrion attracted a crow, which pecked at the door and made a knocking sound, and when we opened the door, the crow flew away and took the rotting little hand. The crow flies very fast, and it is difficult to see clearly at night, so we thought that someone was knocking on the door, but when we opened the door, we could not see anyone.

Professor Leung said that the crow, a scavenging bird, pecked at the carcass and put a hand back into the nest, which landed on the belly of the boy's mother. Next, we need to figure out whose hand it is.

Assistant Tang said: You can compare the DNA with several children who have recently died mysteriously.

Professor Liang said: Does anyone know the whereabouts of our special case team?

Assistant Tang said: Many people know that some leaders are very concerned about the case, and the leaders of the municipal government, the public security bureau, and the education commission are very concerned about the recent series of strange deaths of children, and I have received a lot of phone calls asking about it.

In the history of crime, there have been many cases of animal corpses being found.

Somewhere in western Yunnan, the husband and wife had a conflict, and the husband killed his wife and buried it in a remote drip pit, and also planted sugar cane around it to hide people's eyes. Many crows gathered around the pit every day, and later, there were more and more crows, and there were several hundred, which attracted the attention of the villagers, and the police determined that there was rotten material in the pit, and finally arrested the husband.

A man in Fengjie County was drunk and strangled his 60-year-old mother to death and buried her body on the dirt slope behind the house. Subsequently, he lied to his family and neighbors that his mother had gone insane and had gone missing. He didn't expect that the yellow dog, which his mother had raised for nearly ten years, barked at the dirt slope every day, and when someone passed by the dirt slope, the old yellow dog kept screaming at people while shaving, and the whole dirt slope was covered with dog scratches. The village chief became suspicious and ordered the earth to be dug up, and a female corpse wrapped in a blanket appeared.

The next day, the special case team and Assistant Tang went to investigate the two drowning children. Both children are studying at Dongyang Primary School in the town, the boy is named Cai Mingliang and the girl is named Cai Xiaoxi, both children are ten years old, in the third grade of primary school, and they are in the same class and table.

The forest public security police station is not far from Dongyang Primary School, and after a detour of the winding mountain road, you will arrive at the town where the primary school is located.

The town is full of sewage, and there is a foul smell that smells so bad that it makes people suspect that every toilet has collapsed in the street. Su Mei extracted the residue in the dead crow's stomach last night, along with the rotting little hand and the green corpse liquid sample on the door, and asked Assistant Tang to send someone to the city bureau for analysis and analysis. Although the taste in the town was disgusting, Su Mei hadn't eaten all night, and she saw that there were tea eggs selling at the school gate, and wanted to buy a few tea eggs to fill her stomach.

On a small coal stove sits a pot of eggs, and the stall owner, a middle-aged woman in plain clothes, cracks the eggshell and puts it in to boil.

Su Mei asked about the price, and it was sold for five pieces a piece, which was more expensive than other tea eggs.

The stall owner said: Boy's eggs are absolutely genuine.

Su Mei asked: What is a boy egg, isn't this a tea egg?

engulf

The stall owner saw that Su Mei was a foreigner, grinned, and replied: It's tea eggs, okay

Eggs boiled in tea are fragrant.

The water in which the eggs are boiled looks yellow, and there is some foam floating on them. Bao slashed it and said: It's a bit like the smell of urine.

The stall owner approving: This is a boy's boiled egg, a big supplement.

The painting dragon was furious, and the eggs boiled in urine were actually sold on the street, and he rushed forward to lift the middle-aged woman's pot. Assistant Tang and Bao Shu stopped him, and Professor Liang advised: Xiaolong, don't come nonsense, follow the local customs, and respect other people's eating habits. Only then did he notice that there were stalls selling such children's eggs at the market entrance and snack shops in the town, and there was an endless stream of diners buying children's eggs.

Dongyang Town has a tradition of boiling eggs with children's urine, and it is said that children's eggs have also been declared an intangible cultural heritage. They believe that boiled eggs made with children's urine are the best choice for tonic.

When the special task force entered Dongyang Primary School, they found a red plastic bucket in the corridor of the classroom, and they didn't know what it was for. After a while, the bell rang for the end of class, and the children crowded out of the classroom, and several elementary school students did not go to the toilet, but urinated directly in plastic buckets.

In the office, a young teacher surnamed Mao received the special case team and Assistant Tang. Teacher Mao explained that eating children's eggs is an old local custom, and those who sell children's eggs or want to cook their own children's eggs will carry plastic buckets to each primary school to collect children's urine. Teachers and students alike are surprised by this, and when the boys from the first to third grades want to urinate, they will look at the plastic bucket outside the classroom. The teacher also reminds the children not to pee in the plastic bucket during a cold illness.

Teacher Mao said: I eat two a day.

Bao Shu asked: What is the taste of the child's egg?

Teacher Mao said: It's very fragrant, and a little salty, even the egg yolk is salty, you can't eat too much at a time, eating two is the best.

Teacher Mao teaches mathematics and is also the homeroom teacher of Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi. He said: "It's strange that two children come together to school and walk together after school, no matter where they are, they are in pairs, and now they are drowning together, it's strange.

Su Mei said: What's strange about this, the two children are from the same village, and they take care of each other when they go to and from school.

Professor Liang said: Can you tell us about the performance of the two children on the day of the incident, and what time did they leave the school?

Teacher Mao said: The test scores of the two are the same, and they both failed. I suspected that the two of them were cheating and copying each other, so I left them both to take the make-up exam, and when I left school, it was dark.

Bao Chu said: At that time, there were only these two children left in the school?

Su Mei said: The village where the two children live is quite far from the school, and it is a mountain road, don't you think you are also responsible?

Teacher Mao said: If you fail the exam, you also cheat, so what's wrong with letting students make up for the exam. Besides, these two kids are different from other kids, I think they're in a relationship.

Bao Chu said: Today's children are too precocious, right, two ten-year-old children are in love?

Teacher Mao said: Cai Mingliang called Cai Xiaoxi a guest.

Assistant Tang said: Tangke means wife.

Teacher Mao said: The teachers and classmates in the school all know that they have an improper relationship between men and women.

Professor Leung asked: Improper relationship between men and women?

Teacher Mao replied: Although these two children are only ten years old, they are a young couple!
