Chapter Twenty-Five: The Hands-Eater

On May 28, 2012, a horrific case occurred in Florida, USA, a man named Rudy Eugene gnawed on the face of another naked man on the MacArthur Highway ramp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, the victim's entire face was almost gnawed, and the flesh was blurred.

According to the forensic examination, the face-gnawing boy may have taken a drug called "bath salts" before, causing mental disorders and making himself aggressive. Perhaps it was the erosion of poison that led to Eugene's tragedy.

However, on July 20, 2012, a similar case occurred in Nanpu City, China, on the other side of the ocean, where the face-gnawing incident took place, when a man who was eating at a restaurant suddenly went insane and not only gnawed his own finger, but also bit off the thumb of an employee of the restaurant. After being forcibly subdued by everyone, he was handed over to the police, but when the doctor identified that there was no effect of drugs such as drugs, he finally only explained it with his own sudden mental illness. According to eyewitness accounts, the man had previously eaten nearly twenty adults in a restaurant, which was unbelievable.

However, the Shengyuan Hotel, where the crime occurred, did not close its doors due to panic, but it attracted a lot of fame through the riot of the hand-gnawing man, and the number of customers increased as a result, and the police had no legitimate reason to ask the store to close. It's just that in the afternoon of the same day, all the diners were dismissed, and only some employees stayed to clean, but Boss Yang generously waived everyone's orders and closed the door for half a day to be inquired.

"You're a restaurateur! We're here to ask a few questions. Wang Rui, a criminal policeman who had just come to the question, saw that the boss's attitude was a little blunt, "We need to understand some information." ”

"Officer, wait a minute!" Boss Yang took out a pack of China and handed it to several policemen present, but Wang Rui waved his hand and refused, "I have something to explain here, wait a minute!" Boss Yang bowed his head. After Wang Rui's acquiescence, he turned his smiling face to Zhang Hanqing at the door.

"Master Zhang, I'm really sorry! I neglected you, and there was such a thing," Boss Yang squinted and frowned, still stretched out his fat big hand, held Zhang Hanqing's small hand tightly, and sweated with one hand, "Otherwise, you will go back today, and I will ask the driver to send you, and I will personally invite you another day." ”

"It's okay, I think I'm better suited to deal with this matter than the police." Zhang Hanqing deliberately raised his tone, as if he was saying it to Wang Rui over there, and Wang Rui looked at her with a straight chest, with a dark face and a serious face.

"Why don't Master Zhang, you and the little brother go upstairs to rest for a while, and we'll talk about it after we're busy." Boss Yang looked a little helpless.

"It doesn't matter! I'll take a look at it. ”

Boss Yang had no choice but to smile, "Please!" I'm going to cooperate with them first. As he spoke, he changed a flattering smile and walked towards Officer Wang Rui.

"Master Zhang? Haha, he called you Master Zhang. The crow stood behind Zhang Hanqing and whispered with his face over to him.

It was the height of summer, people only felt a burst of heat, their heads were dizzy, and when the crow's cheeks were pasted just now, Zhang Hanqing only felt a cold breath, and there seemed to be no temperature.

Zhang Han gave him a clean look, "Are you sick?!" ”

The crow restrained his hip-hop smile and touched his face, "People don't want to see us, what are we doing here?" ”

"Let's say hello to our old friends first." Zhang Hanqing raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, when he met Wang Rui, an atheist, it was naturally a little troublesome to deal with things, rather than waiting for the other party to spread feudal superstition to disperse himself, it was better to take the initiative and probe the other party's tone first, so as to deal with it and highlight the equality of the profession!

The crow put down the tool and put it in a corner, followed Zhang Hanqing, and walked straight in the direction of Wang Rui.

"I just want the police to deal with this matter as soon as possible, after all, it is a small business, and I don't want to be implicated because of this." Boss Yang is no longer smiling, maybe he is tired of Xianmei.

"Hello! Officer Wang. ”

Zhang Hanqing greeted him, still with a sunny smile full of youth, interrupting the conversation between the two, and did not feel much guilt, but sat down directly, "Officer Wang Rui, what a coincidence!" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Rui still has a serious face, he knows Zhang Hanqing, to be precise, he knows a little about the Zhang family, her appearance here means that this matter must be linked to some kind of superstition, but because his criminal police master has a lot of friendship with the Zhang family, because of this face, he has not been able to catch all this swaggering gang, of course, there is also a lack of evidence, but this time he thinks that Zhang Hanqing will definitely leave a handle.

"So, Officer Wang, you know! Then I won't go into too much detail. Boss Yang skillfully raised his professional smile again and laughed.

"Officer Wang, do you have any clues?" Zhang Hanqing continued to ask with a smile.

Officer Wang didn't speak, he didn't have anything to say to the boss, and now Zhang Hanqing suddenly came over, and it seemed that there was no need for further negotiations, communicating with this little girl, Wang Rui felt that he was not on the same channel, he took a sip of water, was silent for a while, and said that he didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Hanqing, and then asked the three police officers of the technical department behind him, "Have all the things been sampled?" ”

"That's it!" The three of them replied in unison.

"Alright, let's go!" Wang Rui got up, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

"Officer Wang is leaving, won't you sit down for a while?" Boss Yang also got up and said politely, "I'll send you off." ”

However, Zhang Hanqing still sat there and took a sip of tea, "Officer Wang, don't send it!" ”

Wang Rui looked at Zhang Hanqing condescendingly, his eyes met, as if he was saying that he would not let you go, and then waved his hand, signaled Boss Yang to stay, and quickly left the Shengyuan Hotel.

After Wang Rui and the others left, the situation fell into silence again, Boss Yang leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and looked at the ceiling blankly, not knowing what he was thinking at this time, he was a little hesitant, and seemed to have something to say. On the other side, Zhang Hanqing didn't seem to be in a hurry, he was leisurely sipping afternoon tea, and there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

And the most unstable thing was the crow who looked at the side, he twisted his buttocks, feeling not very comfortable, "I said Xiao Hanqing, if there is nothing to do, we will withdraw!" ”

Zhang Hanqing put down the teacup in his hand, "Boss Yang, let's talk from the heart!" ”

"Since that's the case, then I'll be honest, Master Zhang, it's not that I don't believe in evil, it's just that I think this matter will end here." Boss Yang sat up straight and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table, "It's just my mother-in-law's illusion!" Nothing, the doctor said two more courses would be fine. ”

"Actually, I'm not sure how things will go, so let's do it, since you have entrusted us, then please give me a day, and if nothing happens, I will leave immediately, no charge."

"And what do you mean?"

"Just tonight, we're going to stay here all night and do some research."

Boss Yang lit another cigarette, he was originally to dispel his wife's suspicions, "But..."

"It's okay, it's our job." Zhang Hanqing put his hands on the upturned Erlang's legs, smiling, as if he was looking forward to it, expecting the other party's affirmative answer. Zhang Hanqing knew that there must be a cat here, the eyes of the hand-gnawing man were full of murderous intent, but he was consciously observing everything around him, not like a crazy nervous patient, those hairy eyes showed a possibility, that is, possessed spirits, this may be a kind of ghost attached to people to do evil, as long as they rely on the body of a living person, they will not be afraid of daylight at all. Therefore, she did not hesitate to ask for the continuation of this commission in a pleading gesture, just to catch the possessed spirit attached to the hand-gnawing man.

"Alright then!" Boss Yang extinguished the unfinished cigarette again, "When our husband and wife first made a restaurant in the early years, they lived in this restaurant, and later moved out with savings, but we would occasionally come to live, but I didn't expect that to happen when we came back." ”

"We'll do our best! But I would like to ask you a favor. ”

"Oh, do you mean where to live? It was on the second floor where my mother-in-law and I slept before, with futon, but only one bed. Boss Yang glanced at the crow.

"I'll talk about that later. I need to set up a formation, but I don't have enough manpower. Zhang Hanqing smiled awkwardly.

The crow spread his hands and stuck out his tongue to show his helplessness.

Boss Yang smiled reluctantly, not so much that he didn't want to work, but that he felt from the bottom of his heart that Zhang Hanqing and Crow were just two unreliable children, obviously they were invited to eliminate the disaster, but now it was better to send himself here. He touched his chin, craned his neck, looked back, and found the savior, "Hey, young man over there, is the kitchen cleaned up?" Come here, come here. ”

The restaurant closed in the afternoon, and some of the older people just said hello and went back, while the messy restaurant was ordered to be cleaned up by a few part-time high school students. Summer Rain dragged the garbage can, sweating profusely and coming in from outside, but was stopped by the boss, "Clean up, a few of us..."

"Come here, boy, do me a favor!"

Zhang Hanqing and the crow sat with their backs to Xia Yu, and they both looked back at the tall and thin boy who came over, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Manager Yang, what's the matter?"

"Well," Boss Yang stood up, "Well, these two fortune tellers I invited are going to set up a formation, and I want to ask you for a favor!" ”

"Fortune teller?" The crow muttered quietly, looking at Zhang Hanqing with black lines on his face, and almost burst out laughing.

"Huh? Fortune teller? Summer Rain nodded to the two.

"It's kind of a favor for me, okay, I'll talk to the lobby manager about the salary." Boss Yang stood there, with a round figure, smoking from time to time, like a very large incense burner, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

"I'm going to send..."He has been sending Li Sihui back for the past few days, and he has made an appointment today, but isn't this too bad for the boss to face, so the sentence shrank back, "Just do me a favor, forget the money, okay." ”

"Good! Master Zhang, this is okay, and then I'll trouble you. Boss Yang once again showed his honest smile.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Hanqing." Zhang Hanqing stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile.

"I'm Summer Rain, please advise!" Xia Yu's right hand was still carrying the trash can, and a clean jade hand was stretched out in front of him, he was a little timid, hesitated for a while, put down the trash can and rubbed it on the white shirt, and laughed, "The hands are too dirty!" ”

"I'm a crow!" The raven didn't stretch out his hand, perhaps he didn't want anyone to touch his cold skin!

"Hello! Crow? Wait a minute, I'll put the trash can back in place first. Xia Yu dragged the trash can to the kitchen again, in fact, he wanted to explain the reason to Li Sihui.

Zhang Hanqing continued to discuss with Boss Yang about staying at night, and the crow sank into boredom again, his left hand held his right hand tightly, no matter how he rubbed, but there was still no temperature that anyone should have, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
