◎Chapter 45: Strange case of corpse robbers

In the corridor, several children were clapping their hands and singing: two tigers, two tigers, falling in love, falling in love. Both are male, both are male, they are really perverted, they are really perverted. Some elementary school students played games on the playground, and they threw a round card on the ground and kept talking swearing. Several children were playing with the yo-yo in their hands... The class bell rang and the children ran into the classroom.

The campus became quiet, and in the third-grade classroom, two tables were empty, and the two children would never come to school.

The special case team patiently waited for the students to finish class, and then conducted an interrogation and investigation. On the day of the incident, there were no suspicious people or abnormal things in the school. It is said that the two children stole the stall owner's boy eggs, and the woman selling boy eggs at the school gate once scolded Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi. Some classmates reported that Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi were children's relatives, and the parents made a marriage when the two children were born.

Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi lived in the same village. On the day of the incident, it was dark when they left school due to a make-up exam.

Their village is called Caizhuangli, which is a small mountain village with many persimmon trees planted.

The school is far away from the village, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk. It takes an hour for two children to get home.

Bao Zhan, Hualong and Assistant Tang set foot on this mountain road again; Professor Liang had difficulty in legs and feet, so he and Su Mei stayed at the municipal bureau and directed the criminal police brigade to investigate the case of corpse robbery. The body of the boy in red disappeared, and there must be an ulterior motive behind it. What is the purpose of corpse robbery? Who would do such an unethical thing that is harmful to the truth? What can rotten corpses bring to the corpse robbers? At present, these problems are still a mystery. Comparing the results of DNA's tests, it was found that the green corpse liquid on the door of the Forest Public Security Police Station and the rotten little hands that fell from the crow's nest in front of the old house of the boy in red all came from a child - Cai Mingliang.

Children in the city go to and from school are picked up and dropped off by parents.

Children in the mountain village walk home by themselves, and their journey to study is extremely difficult.

Bao Zhan, Hualong, and Assistant Tang retrace the mountain road where Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi returned home.

On one side of the road is a cliff like a knife and axe-cut, and on the other side is a cliff with huge rocks often blocking the road. When the rainy season comes, mud and sand are buried, forming a hillside. The hillside is covered with grass, and wild flowers bloom, and springs flow through the wild flowers and green grass. This is where tourists and travelers praise nature, and this is an extremely difficult road that the two children have walked.

A boy and a girl, both ten years old, are a young couple.

They experienced the sword of wind, frost, snow, and through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and walked hand in hand on the dark mountain road.

The two children drowned in the pool by the mountain road. Bao Zhan, Hualong and Assistant Tang carefully observed. The terrain was dangerous, with a dead tree nearby. There was a small flat grass around the tree. The child sometimes played on the grass for a while, and when it rained, he would shelter from the tree hole. In front of him was a small path, and it could not be ruled out that someone would push the child down the pool.

possible.

Bypassing the pool, it is this small mountain village called Caizhuangli.

There is no telephone call in this village, so Assistant Tang cannot contact the village committee by phone. He said: The telephone call project in every village has not been fully implemented. What era is this? Some villages have no telephone calls?

Hualong said: Don’t talk about this place, even in the capital, there are villages that don’t have phone calls. The gap between the rich and the poor is too big now.

Assistant Tang said: No, there are villages in Beijing that are on the phone?

Hualong said: Ankou Village, Miyun Mountain - the last village in Beijing that has no phone call.

Bao Zhan was speechless all the way, Hualong asked: What are you thinking, Xiao Bao?

Bao Zhan said: I remember the path I took when I was a child when I was in school. In fact, so many years have passed, nothing has changed.

The three of them inquired about the villagers and found the village committee.

The village party secretary said that Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi's parents were not in the village and both went out to work. The parents had to continue to make a living after the funeral, and the pain of losing their children could not offset the hardships of life. There were only left-behind elderly people and children in the village, and almost all young and middle-aged people went out to work.

Assistant Tang asked: Where is the security director of your village?

The village party secretary said: It’s me, I also serve as the village security director.

Hualong said: What about the former security director?

The village party secretary said: I also went to the city to work and worked as a security guard in the city.

Assistant Tang said: We are here this time to open the coffin and examine the autopsy.

The village party secretary said: How can this be done? If you are buried in peace, you will open a coffin and examine the autopsy, and the parents of both children are not here. I am the village party secretary and I can’t make the decision, and the villagers will oppose it.

Bao Zhan said: You find someone to notify your children's parents and ask them to come back tomorrow.

The village party secretary said: This case has been struggling for so long and was eventually determined to be an accidental death. Has your police made new discoveries?

Bao Zhan said: To be honest, the grave may be empty.

The village party secretary said: Is it empty? No, when the funeral comes, I watched the burial with my own eyes.

Hualong said: The child's body should not be inside.

The village party secretary said: This is a big deal. I will take you to see you tomorrow. Both children call me grandpa, and I will make the decision.

Bao Zhan said: It’s just a coffin that doesn’t require a corpse examination, and the body may have been stolen.

Assistant Tang said: We found a child’s hand somewhere else!

The ancestral tombs of the villagers were concentrated on the back mountain, which the locals called "Lao Lin". In the early morning of the next day, Bao Zhan, Hualong and Assistant Tang excavated Cai Mingliang's tomb. As expected, the grave had been dug up and the tomb was empty. Cai Mingliang's body was mysteriously missing. Strangely, Cai Xiaoxi's body did not fly away, and the two children were buried together.

The village party secretary explained this: the two children are children's relatives, and children's relatives are also husband and wife, so they will naturally be buried together after they die.

Bao Zhan collected and sampled the soil around the tomb and took it back for testing. There was paper money in the soil.

Even the debris of firecrackers were found. This is a very strange thing. According to local funeral rituals, there are few firecrackers set off during burial, which is unreasonable.

The mysterious disappearance of the three children was found. Director Wang Lingjun attached great importance to it and presided over a case analysis meeting. The police officers present discussed the motive for stolen corpses and the direction of corpses. There were many different opinions and it was difficult to make a conclusion.

There have been many cases of corpses stolen in various parts of the country. For example, more than a dozen corpses were stolen in many townships near Xinxu. The corpse stolen in Lichenggou in Shilidian shocked the whole country. There are also Renxiang Village, Longchuan Town, where corpses were stolen, corpses were opened, heads were beheaded, and meat was removed, and then stolen... These creepy things have happened frequently over the past ten years.

Wang Lingjun said: Based on the corpse theft cases across the country, let’s analyze what the purpose of stealing corpses is?

Su Mei said: In some places, if someone dies in a family, someone will be sent to guard the tomb after being buried. This has become a strange local custom.

Assistant Tang said: Doing this is to prevent someone from stealing a body, which is rare here.

Hualong said: Cremation is now popular, but many places refuse to be cremated. Some relatives of the deceased buy nameless corpses and cremation at high prices, and then secretly bury the deceased. Some of the stolen corpses are used for cremation by impersonation.

Professor Liang said: Some people stole corpses for sale and made chéngrén body skeleton specimens for medical or other purposes. Most of the cases of opening coffins and stealing corpses and picking meat were due to this kind of criminal motive.

Su Mei said: In the past few days, I have seen many files of corpse theft cases, one of which is used to make specimens. The tomb robbers cut off the head of the corpse and scraped off the rotten flesh on the body, and only stole the skeletons. The photos in the file were disgusting. The top of a coffin was lifted, and the corpse had been stolen. There was a yellow plastic bag next to the tomb pile containing the rotten flesh scraped from the corpse.

An old detective said: According to superstitious sayings, Ganoderma lucidum growing on coffins can absorb the nutrients in corpses, so it is very precious and has excellent medicinal effects. Some criminals steal corpses and plant Ganoderma lucidum.

Su Mei said: There is also a purpose of stealing corpses called Yin marriage. Yin marriage means that dead people get married to dead people. There is also the custom of Yin marriage in rural areas in some areas. As demand increases, the price of female corpses has risen steadily. In order to make profits, some people steal corpses, and even kill disabled wandering girls or prostitutes standing on the street to sell corpses to match Yin marriage.

Bao Zhan said: Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi are probably matched with each other, and the firecrackers appearing in the cemetery have a reasonable explanation.

Su Mei said: The two children made a marriage for their children. After their death, their parents may hold a wedding for them.

Bao Zhan said: That's right, their funeral is also a wedding.

Hualong said: The village party secretary was worried that his superiors would criticize him for his feudal superstition, so he might have deliberately concealed this point, making the villagers keep their mouths tight.

Wang Lingjun said: Find the child’s parents as soon as possible and confirm the matter.

The old detective said: Stealing corpses, especially stealing child corpses, also has a criminal motive.

Wang Lingjun said: What?
