It was another sleepless night, and since I came to Bac Giang Prison, my sleep quality has plummeted. Many times, even when I am asleep, I am still in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, and the buzzing in my head has been intermittently continuous, and a feeling of restlessness and uneasiness seems to have taken root in my heart.

Looking at the glow of the fire at the cigarette butt, I felt the pain of the smoke cutting through the throat.

At this moment, my mind is full of the scene when I met Chen Peng today.

I clearly know that during the conversation with him today, I have been in a passive state, and he is completely controlling the pace of our conversation.

This feeling of defeat was like a huge stone pressing on my heart, which made my heart very depressed, but I couldn't find a good solution.

Maybe the methods I can think of are too naïve in Chen Peng's opinion.

I can only say that when I faced Chen Peng, I was a student.

This advantage of his has nothing to do with who we are now, but from our past. A lot of my criminal psychology expertise comes from his teachings, especially in the university classroom, and his strong teaching style has left a deep imprint on the hearts of many of our students.

And now I am trying to interrogate him with the knowledge he imparted, which is very ironic in itself.

However, since I have chosen this path, I can't give up so easily.

This is not only to complete my criminal psychology report, but also to find Chen Peng's motive for committing the crime, so that the souls of those who died at Chen Peng's hands can be freed.

Nian Yu sat alone in a makeshift dormitory in Bac Giang Prison.

Turn off the lights and let yourself be completely in the dark. He didn't smoke much, but now he smoked one after another, and the ashtray in front of him was half filled with cigarette butts.

For Nian Yu and many people in Beijiang City, the memory that they are most reluctant to recall is the "11.11 Serial Corpse Crushing Murder Case" three years ago.

But now Nian Yu has to endure the pain of a splitting headache, forcing himself to recall the memory that he deliberately sealed.

On November 11, 2015, Bac Giang City saw its first snow fall since the beginning of winter.

Since the early morning, the snowflakes have begun to fall. By the end of the evening, it had already turned into goose feather snow.

Although Bac Giang City is located in the hinterland of the three northeastern provinces, it is still very rare for such a large snowfall to fall in winter.

Due to the blizzard, men and women who were planning to celebrate Singles' Day in the evening had to change their minds at short notice.

Some of the meals that I really can't push back also choose some warmer restaurants such as hot pot or stove chicken.

In Chengnan District, a relatively authentic Chongqing hot pot restaurant in Beijiang City is overcrowded at the moment. The steaming hot pot is surrounded by the laughter of men and women.

Just when these guests, while eating hot pot, were talking about whether the first snow of the year was a little urgent. There was a scream in the private room on the second floor, and then five or six young men and women rolled down the stairs on the second floor.

"What's going on?" The guests on the first floor all looked at the panicked people with different faces.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? "The lobby manager of the hot pot restaurant immediately ran from behind the bar to the customers rolling down from the second floor.

"Hand ...... Hand ......" A young man in his twenties, the first to be helped up by the lobby manager, he grabbed the lobby manager's arm with both hands, his lips were purple, his teeth chattered, and he said with a frightened face.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

The lobby manager was a young woman in her thirties, and she was more or less uncomfortable to be grabbed by her arm by such a young man in her twenties.

"Meat...... Meat fillet...... Someone's fingers! The young man looked at the lobby manager with a frightened look on his face, and exclaimed hoarsely.

Two of his companions, who ran down behind him, were already lying on the handrails of the stairs and began to vomit violently.

"How is this possible?" The young woman's manager looked incredulous, she handed over the young man to the security guard who rushed over, and led a waiter to the private room where the few people had just eaten.

For this woman who worked from a waitress to a lobby manager, she had seen too many times for eating and skipping orders, and she had heard too many reasons for all kinds of reasons, but today it was the first time she had heard such absurd reasons.

However, not long after the young woman manager and waiter entered the private room, they also ran out screaming.

Ten minutes later, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Beijiang City Public Security Bureau blocked the entire hot pot restaurant and brought back the guests who ate hot pot here that night and all the employees of the hot pot restaurant back to the Beijiang City Public Security Bureau.

The young men and women in the private room on the second floor were not what the young woman manager thought, but deliberately said and did so in order to escape the order.

Instead, two human fingers were found in the hot pot in the private room on the second floor, and these two fingers were wrapped in slices of meat and put into the hot pot. Subsequently, the Forensic Identification Center of the Beijiang Public Security Bureau conducted an on-site investigation and sampling of the hot pot restaurant.

It turned out that in the refrigerator of the hot pot restaurant's marked mutton slices, three kilograms of human flesh tissue had been cut into the same as ordinary mutton slices, and eleven human fingers wrapped in it.

According to the forensic examination center, the eleven fingers were from eleven different people, which means that at least eleven living or dead people were missing fingers, and the three kilograms of human tissue were also from five different people.

For a while, all the cadres and policemen of the criminal investigation detachment of the entire Beijiang City Public Security Bureau were called to the conference room as soon as possible.

Nian Hong looked at the photos of the scene investigation and the test report of the forensic identification center, and said loudly to all the police officers present: "This is the first time I have encountered such a case in my 30 years as a police officer. But no matter what you think now, I want you to immediately investigate the background of the hot pot owner and all the employees, the social relations and all the procurement channels of the hot pot restaurant, as well as whether there have been any reports of missing persons in the recent period. ”

Half an hour later, all the officers and policemen of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Beijiang City Public Security Bureau walked out of the conference room with solemn expressions, but Nian Hong drove straight to the Municipal Party Committee Building and galloped away.

In the next three days, all the police officers of the Beijiang City Criminal Investigation Detachment were working tirelessly to investigate the personal information of the owners and employees of the hot pot restaurant.

The 110 police center received three more police calls, and after being checked by the police handling the case, there were two more major cases of human tissue mixed with other meat products for sale. After being tested by the forensic identification center, many of the human tissues and human flesh tissues found in the hot pot restaurant belonged to several people.

The two crimes were committed at a delicatessen at a farmers' market in Chengbei District and another hot pot restaurant in Chengnan District. The human tissues found at the scene included not only slices of meat and fingers found in the past three days, but also human bones that had been made into sauce bones.

Since many of the doxxing in the three cases belonged to one or more people, the three cases of body mutilation were investigated together. Although the Bac Giang City Public Security Bureau has taken secrecy measures since the incident, all three cases were reported in crowded places. Therefore, the serial corpse mutilation case in Bac Giang City was known to the major media and the citizens of Bac Giang City for the first time. For a time, the entire city of Bac Giang was shrouded in the shadow of terror that everyone was in danger, and all kinds of speculations and reports about the murder and dismemberment of corpses broke out in a blowout. The online media and self-media are all the headlines of the serial corpse killing case in Beijiang City, and the number of visits and retweets has increased exponentially.

After the Beijiang Municipal Party Committee consulted the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, the "Beijiang City 11.11 Serial Corpse Crushing Case" task force was formally established, and Nian Hong, director of the Beijiang City Public Security Bureau, served as the leader of the task force, and at the request of the Provincial Party Committee and the Beijiang Municipal Party Committee, the time-limited task force cracked the case before the Spring Festival in 2016.

On November 15, 2015, Nian Yu, who was preparing for the final exam at school, received a call from his mother, Li Jie.

"Son, during this time, Mom and Dad may be busy with work and have no time to take care of you. You have to take good care of yourself, don't go out alone at night, you know! Li Jie's voice is a little hoarse, the forensic identification work of the corpse shredding case for several days in a row has made her physically and mentally haggard, although since she entered the Beijiang City Forensic Identification Center, she has been dealing with all kinds of corpses almost every day, but things like the "11.11 serial corpse crushing case" are the first time to happen, even if she has been doing forensic work for more than 20 years, Li Jie is still a little uncomfortable in the face of these human tissues.

"Mom! Are you and Dad going to be busy with that murder case? Nian Yu asked.

"That's right! You've heard a lot of people talk about it these days, right? So, before your dad catches the murderer, you have to be very careful and don't go out alone! Call us if there's anything. Li Jieqian said to Nian Yu with a thousand instructions.

"I see! Mom, you and Dad should also pay attention to their bodies. ”

"We will!" After hanging up the phone, Li Jie looked at the human tissue in front of her, and her brows were deeply furrowed.

In the following month, Nian Hong seconded many criminal investigation experts from all over the country to carry out a centralized investigation of the "11.11 serial corpse crushing murder case".

The task force conducted a carpet investigation of all the personnel and purchase channels of two hot pot restaurants and a delicatessen, and conducted an investigation of the city's meat product wholesale farmers' markets, slaughterhouses, and overtime.

Finally, one afternoon ten days later, the police officers of the task force found more human tissue in the store of a farmers' market in Beicheng District, Beijiang City.

In this meat wholesale store, which is closed during the day and is only open from 3 a.m. to 8 a.m., the police officers of the special case group found a total of 11 victims' heads, and none of the victims' bodies were intact and were decomposed.

All human tissue is cut into slices of various sizes;

All the human internal organs were soaked in wine in eleven large glass bottles;

All human bones were made into sauce bones like pig bones;

What made the scalps of the police officers of the special task force even more tingling was that the heads of the 11 victims were boiled in a large white steel bucket, and when the forensic doctor fished out the heads of these victims from the white steel bucket, the heads had been boiled beyond recognition, and all the flesh and skulls had been separated.
