"Do you know about the cellar slave case?" Zhang Sinan suddenly said this.
"Cellar slave?"
"Yes, the case that happened five years ago caused a lot of fuss."
I knew that the case was a sensation across the country at the time. How could I not know about it?
The Case of the Cellar Slave, in which seven girls were coaxed and kidnapped by a devil over a period of three years, and finally imprisoned in a cellar dug by the devil, in the dark and tortured.
I still remember the name of that devil, his name is Zhou Changshun.
He is an ordinary local farmer in the suburbs of this city. He is plain-looking and honest at ordinary times, but in fact he is mentally ill.
He contracted an orchard in the suburbs. After his wife divorced him, she took her son and left, leaving him alone, eating and living in the orchard.
Except when someone comes to collect the fruits when they are ripe, almost no one comes here at ordinary times.
Zhou Changshun secretly dug a cellar in the orchard. It is said that the cellar was dug more than ten meters deep and covered with iron barrels and stones.
Then, he began to implement his criminal plan.
He wandered around looking for his target, and finally one night, on a quiet roadside, he met a lonely girl.
He knocked the girl unconscious when she was not prepared, then carried her back to the orchard and imprisoned her in the cellar.
Later, he kidnapped six other girls using the same method.
For three years, more than a thousand days and nights, the seven girls suffered inhuman torture, and their blooming lives slowly withered away.
"Wait..." I interrupted Zhang Sinan.
"What does this have to do with these five girls?" I pointed to the photo.
Zhang Sinan smiled bitterly.
"Don't you understand? They were the victims of the original case."
"Ah?" Shu Wen and I almost jumped up.
"Then five of the seven girls imprisoned in the cellar are them?"
Zhang Sinan said: "There were originally seven girls. One of them tried to escape and was beaten to death by the demon Zhou Changshun. Her body was buried in the cellar."
"There was another girl who couldn't stand such a dark life, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide, and her body was buried in the cellar."
"In the end, there were only five of them left." Zhang Sinan looked at the five girls in the photo.
"It wasn't until three years later that the cellar was discovered by a fruit merchant who came to the orchard to collect fruits. He called the police, and the police quickly dispatched and caught Zhou Changshun and rescued the five girls in the cellar."
At this moment, I finally understood that the five girls in the photo were obviously pretty, but why were their faces pale, their expressions melancholy, and their eyes even dull?
They actually had such a dark experience.
No wonder Zhang Sinan said just now that they are serious spiritual victims.
I said: "Sister, after the case was solved, weren't the five girls rescued? They were all sent home, but why were they with you later? You also led them to open a massage parlor here. This is another case. Why?"
Zhang Sinan said: "Yes, many people know that after the case was solved, the devil was caught and the girls were rescued, but many people don't know what happened next."
"Did you know?" she asked me.
I shook my head. I only saw in the news that Zhou Changshun suddenly died in the patrol station before he could be shot. The five girls were sent home respectively. Isn't that what happened? "
Zhang Sinan said: "Do you know why Zhou Changshun died suddenly? In fact, he turned into a mummy."
Originally, the guy was going to be shot for committing such a serious crime, but as soon as the interrogation was completed, the guy suddenly turned into a mummy in the interrogation room in front of the two police officers.
The patrolmen were very frightened. Why did this living person suddenly turn into a mummy?
Zhang Sinan said that in order not to cause panic, they had to block the matter from the outside world. They only said that Zhou Changshun committed suicide in the patrol station because he felt guilty.
As for the five girls, although they were rescued and sent home, their psychological trauma was too great.
"You would never have imagined that after returning home, some people sympathized with these five girls at first, but gradually they were despised and ridiculed by many people."
"Some people even say that it was because these girls were misbehaving that they were targeted by the devil."
"Slowly, even the girl's family began to dislike them."
"The five girls all suffered from depression to varying degrees, and even had suicidal tendencies. They may have been imprisoned in the cellar together for many years, so they sympathized with each other and made an appointment to commit suicide together."
I was dumbfounded when I heard this. I didn't expect that the follow-up of this case would be like this.
Not only did the girls not receive sympathy and care for their experiences, but on the contrary...
"This is the human heart. Sometimes the human heart is warm, but most of the time it is cold and heartless." Zhang Sinan sighed.
"Then what? Did they commit suicide?" Shu Wen asked.
"Of course not. That night, they arrived at the beach, and then held hands and walked step by step toward the deep sea. Fortunately, they met me."
"Sister, did you save them?"
Zhang Sinan nodded.
"They should not die. I saved them all. I advised them that every life has the right to survive. No matter how unfortunate you encounter, you have no right to destroy the life given to you by God."
"No matter how unfortunate it is, it will pass slowly and eventually it will get better."
"My persuasion temporarily stabilized their emotions, and then I invited a psychiatrist to counsel them. The hard work paid off. Three months later, these girls finally stabilized their emotions and no longer had suicidal thoughts. "
"They were so grateful to me that I gave them a second life. I wanted to send them home and let them live a good life, but they refused."
"They don't want to go back to that cold home and be ridiculed again."
"I completely understand how they feel. Where can they go if they don't go home? They beg me to take them in because they really have no way to go."
"I had no intention of taking them in at first." Zhang Sinan smiled bitterly again.
"Because you know that I am one of the ten elders of the Ghost Witch Hand. Because of the sins of the sect master, we were deprived of luck, lowered our fate, and struggled at the bottom of society. I don't want them to suffer along with me."
"But they are determined to follow me. Maybe in their hearts, I am a truly good person."
"You agreed in the end? Right?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Yes, with them, I have more responsibilities. Unfortunately, I have been deprived of my luck and lowered my destiny. I cannot arrange a good life for them. I can only rent a house, open a massage parlor, and teach They make a living from the craft of massage.”
"They are also very happy. No matter what job they do, as long as they are not discriminated against and are happy."
"Why do you teach them to massage living people with the same technique used by ghosts and witches to massage dead people?" I asked.
"Is it for them to use this method to absorb the luck and anger of those guests?"
Zhang Sinan said: "Yes, I have to do this, otherwise they will become mummies."
"What?" I looked at her in surprise.
She looked up at me too.
"You heard me right, if it weren't for me, they would have instantly turned into mummies like Zhou Changshun."
"Why did Zhou Changshun turn into mummies in the first place? Why did these girls turn into mummies?" I asked.
I realize that things are not that simple here.
