Hui Fu'an suddenly thought of the situation in his dream, the environment of the old man who looked very similar to Shi Deyuan: there was a place in front of a row of uneven gray tile houses, and there seemed to be a pile of hemp ropes in the house.
Based on this impression in his dream, he led two policemen to search for ten nearby villages. There were many similarities, but none were exactly the same.
Some have a place in front of the door, but there is no hemp rope in the main room. Some main rooms have hemp ropes, but there is no place in front of the door like in the dream. He was about to give up on the matter when he suddenly received a call from a fishing man, saying that when he was casting a net in Wild Duck Lake, he felt something heavy was caught in the net. He thought it was a big fish, but when he pulled it out of the water, he found that something heavy was caught in the net. What was left was two undivided human legs, both soaked and rotted by water. It was terrifying that there was no body or head.
Hui Fuan led several police officers to rush to the scene and inspected and took photos on Yeya Lake. He also requested that the patrol brigade of the County Public Security Bureau increase its personnel to invest in investigation work. In just half an hour, two patrol policemen arrived, each holding a police dog, one with mottled hair and one with black hair.
They guessed that they smelled the smell from a long way away and sniffed straight towards the rotting thighs. The mottled dog grunted, as if trying to communicate its thoughts to its handler in dog language.
The handler clapped his hands knowingly, and the variegated-haired dog understood what he meant, and immediately left the remains of the dead body, then jumped lightly and stepped onto a dirt road, asking the handler to grab the dog's rope and follow it. .
The black-haired dog looked at the two rotting human legs and barked for a while, then followed the variegated-haired dog and ran for a while. Gradually, we approached Niujiazhuang and came to a house. The two dogs did not stop and went straight into the ajar door. Of course, the trainer holding the dog leash also followed.
Fu Fuan did not enter the house immediately. He recalled that the environment in his dream was exactly the same as the situation in front of the house. Just as he was about to walk into the house to take a look, the variegated furry dog came out with a hemp rope in its mouth, and the black furry dog followed him out. There was no hemp rope in its mouth, but it still made a "woof" sound.
The two dog handlers said in unison to Hui Fugan, who was standing on the field looking thoughtful, that the body parts recovered from the Wild Duck Lake might be related to the hemp rope held by the police dog.
I think so too. Fu An said, which aroused even more alarm. He immediately entered the house, said hello to the head of the household, and then walked into the main room and found a large pile of hemp rope lying there, which was exactly the same as the scene in his dream.
Hui Fuan led the police to find the owner Niu Taixing from the upstairs of this house. Niu Taixing, who was lying on a bunk, said he felt uncomfortable. He looked at the boat and said, "Comrade police, what's the matter?" I, Niu Taixing, seem to have done nothing wrong. In reply, An Leong thought of the case of Shi Deyuan's disappearance and deliberately asked, do you know Shi Deyuan?
do not know. After Niu Taixing said that, he was very calm, as if nothing had happened.
But the two police dogs barking from time to time downstairs made Niu Taixing frown uncomfortably. Replied An and asked again, are you telling the truth? Niu Taixing nodded. Fu An bluntly changed the way he said it, if you told a lie, we can detect it with a polygraph. Niu Taixing said, then you can test it if you want! Anyway, I'm fine.
A policeman standing next to the dock said that if the disappearance of Mr. Shi Deyuan had nothing to do with you, it would be impossible for the two police dogs with their keen sense of smell to just find your residence without going elsewhere.
Are there not enough coincidences in the world? As he spoke, Niu Taixing suddenly sat up and continued with a long face, "It's wrong for you to break into private houses, do you know?"
We are on a mission. Replied by his subordinates, Fu An took out his police officer ID card and showed it to Niu Taixing.
Niu Taixing's body trembled for a moment, and then he asked pretending to be calm, just because two police dogs smelled coming to my house, can it prove that Shi Deyuan's disappearance is related to me, Niu?
At this time, a policeman looked at him and said, Uncle Niu, let’s not talk about the two police dogs coming to your home for now, but some people reported that your son Niu Er hit the old man Shi Deyuan with a farm truck, but Shi Deyuan was not killed. Old man Deyuan was sent to the hospital for treatment, but he was sent directly to your home in Niujiazhuang. Now old man Shi Deyuan has not come out of your home and is missing. Can you find him?
There is no such thing. Niu Taixing denied it.
Uncle Niu, if you don't admit it, it's okay. Don't say that at your age, we will do something sorry for you. Hui Fuan looked at him and said seriously, "Come with us. We will take you to the Public Security Bureau to take a polygraph test."
Niu Taixing's body was shaking violently, but his mouth was still stiff. He said, "Didn't I say that I was fine?"
If you are fine, your son will be fine. Before the case is fully investigated, we will arrest you and your son Niu Er for interrogation. Fu An said it bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Niu Taixing collapsed, but he clenched his fists, and said firmly, "Let's not talk about it anymore. I admit that I killed Shi Deyuan, and it has nothing to do with my son Niu Er. You don't want to talk about it." Catch him. If you want to arrest him, arrest me. Anyway, I am over seventy and an old man. It doesn’t matter if he is shot.
Hui Fuan thought of the two human legs that a fisherman salvaged from the Wild Duck Lake. The body, head and other parts were missing. Is the victim the missing person Shi Deyuan? Therefore, he further asked, does Mr. Shi Deyuan have any grudge against you? Why did you kill him?
He has no enmity with me. I want to kill him mainly to free my son Niu Er from the guilt. Not long ago, my son Niu Er hit someone with a farm truck and injured him. He was sent to the county hospital for treatment and it cost him more than 100,000 yuan. Even after selling several cattle at home, it was not enough. He also borrowed a debt. Now the debt has not been repaid. The car hit someone again, and something happened. I was afraid of trouble, so I asked my son Niu Er to hand over the injured old man Shi Deyuan to me, and I killed him.
Niu Taixing said as he got dressed and got off the bunk. He also told some nonsense: Old Shi Deyuan should have been sent to the county hospital for treatment, but our family couldn't afford the money, so I had no choice but to hide the person from my family and outsiders, thinking that God didn't know what was going on. Jue, how did you know that you still found me at home? Forget it, I kill people and I pay with my life.
Looking at Niu Taixing's desperate look, Fu An wanted to scold him for being too indifferent to human life, but he still held back and continued to interrogate, you said, you killed old man Shi Deyuan, so where is his body?
Niu Taixing lowered his head and whispered the location of the body. It turned out that on the day he killed old man Shi Deyuan, Niu Taixing used the curled machete he usually used to kill cattle. He chopped the body of old man Shi Deyuan into two parts from the waist. The upper part was the body and head, and the lower part was two pieces with the buttocks. After wrapping the thighs together, the upper and lower halves of the body were each sealed in a sack, and then temporarily placed at home while they considered how to remove the corpse.
He also found dozens of dollars from the old man Shi Deyuan. In the evening, he used the money to rent a tow truck and transport the upper half of his body to the road near Yeya Lake. Then when he saw the tow truck driving away, he braved the night to pick up the sack and walked to Yeya Lake, and then took the sack to the Wild Duck Lake. Half of his lower body was poured out and thrown into the lake.
He returned home with the empty sack and burned it to eliminate traces. He then put the sack containing the upper half of Shi Deyuan's body on his shoulders, took out a hoe from the door and rushed to the valley of the neighboring village to dig. A big pit, buried together with heavy sacks.
After the processing was completed, it was almost dawn. He rushed home and covered the blood stains in the wing with firewood ashes for a while, then cleaned them up and went to bed in peace. But where can I sleep peacefully? When he fell asleep like a dream and woke up, he saw Shi Deyuan, covered in blood, screaming at him at the top of his lungs - Give me back my life...
When Niu Taixing said this, he responded to Fu'an and ordered him to go downstairs and go out to identify the two corpse dumping sites. He first went to Yeya Lake and admitted that he had thrown the lower body parts.
At this time, forensic doctors wearing white gloves were examining. In response, Fu'an ordered him to go back and identify the second crime scene in the valley of the neighboring village. Before they arrived at the scene of the crime, the two police dogs led by the handler made their way into the valley of the neighboring village based on their sense of smell. Each of them grunted and used their forelimbs to pry open the dirt bag covered with leaves.
Fu Fuan, who was escorting Niu Taixing, also asked him to go back to Niujiazhuang for a walk. He always brought the hoe used in the crime and decided to use it to dig up the pit where the upper half of Shi Deyuan's body was buried to obtain evidence.
Naturally, the case of Niu Taixing's murder of Shi Deyuan has now come to light. Niu Taixing was arrested and imprisoned unconditionally. While in prison, he suffered from a strange disease. His tongue began to ache, and then fester to the point where he could not speak.
This caused trouble for the interrogation. The forensic doctor failed to cure him after applying medicine many times, so he was recommended to be sent to the county hospital for treatment. However, the treatment lasted for ten and a half months, but there was no effect at all.
In the past, although Niu Taixing could not eat dry rice, he could drink porridge. Now it is difficult to drink porridge. Niu Er, who came to visit his father in prison, suddenly remembered that Shi Zaitian could cure such strange diseases that even doctors in big hospitals could not do anything about, so he rushed to L Province Medical University to find Shi Zaitian and said that he wanted to ask Professor Shi temporarily. He left school and went to prison to treat his father.
Unexpectedly, Shi Zaitian looked into Niu Er's eyes and saw the cause of his father's tongue ulcer, so he refused and gave the reason, saying that I can't cure your father's disease. He is cruel and cruel. I can't get rid of the evil obstacles.
Niu Er said frankly, are you saying that my father killed someone?
Shi Zaitian replied, killing people is creating the karma of killing. What I am talking about is that your father created the karma of killing animals.
Niu Er didn't quite understand, so he just said it logically. Aren't many people doing this by killing animals like pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep? Why is it that my father is the only one who creates murderous karma?
Whoever commits this crime has committed murderous karma and will receive retribution, but the retribution may be in the next life. Your father is different and deserves retribution in this life. Speaking of this, Shi Zaitian directly talked about the specific reasons why his father should suffer retribution when he was still alive.
One day 10 years ago, Lao Geng, who had sold cattle with Niu Taixing, passed by Niujiazhuang and found Niu Taixing's gathering. It was almost noon. Lao Geng was about to leave and said that I bumped into you and didn't want to eat at your place. There was no preparation either.
Niu Taixing looked at Lao Geng, who was as tall as him, and said, Oh! Isn’t it easy to prepare a dish? You go sit in the room first, and I will get some good dishes for you in a while. How can I offend Lao Geng?
Lao Geng saw that he was eager to stay as a guest, and it was already dinner time anyway, so he stayed and sat in Niu Taixing's main hall to drink tea.
He looked at Niu Taixing and said, Niu Laogeng, since you want to keep me for dinner, just be casual, you are a nice person! A bowl of sauerkraut will taste delicious at your house. Niu Taixing replied, "You sit and drink tea and don't care about that. How can I offend Lao Geng?"
After about half an hour, the aroma of food filled the air. Niu Taixing's wife set up a table of dishes in the main room. After all, there was no preparation. There were several vegetarian dishes such as peanuts, bamboo shoots, and amaranth. Only a plate of fresh beef tongue strips (beef tongue) was the most eye-catching in the middle of the table.
Niu Taixing's wife invited Lao Geng to the table. Niu Taixing filled a glass of wine for him, pointed to the steaming plate of noodles and said, "Old Geng, this dish is okay for swallowing wine." Lao Geng nodded and started fighting with Niu Taixing to drink. The two of them drank the two-pound bottle of wine evenly. They even finished the vegetarian dishes on the table, and the plate of fresh noodles was even blown away by the wind. Not a single piece is left.
Niu Taixing's wife wanted to add some side dishes, but Lao Geng refused, saying that he was almost done drinking. If he wanted to add more food and wine, it wouldn't be good to drink him here. Niu Taixing listened to him and gave up.
When sending Lao Geng out, Lao Geng looked at a water turtle tied to a wooden stake in front of the house, bleeding from its mouth. He wailed from time to time and asked, "What's going on?" Niu Taixing smiled and said, "Old Geng, in order to entertain you and prepare a dish for drinking, I tied the mouth of this water turtle to a tree and cut off its tongue with a knife."
Oh, that's the reason. As Lao Geng said, he realized that the plate of fresh beef noodles eaten at Niu Taixing's house at noon came from the mouth of this Shui Gu, and he felt very uncomfortable.
After walking a few steps, he pondered for a long time, then turned back and said to Niu Taixing, who was watching him off, Niu Laogeng, why don't you kill this Shuigou, then cut off its tongue and stir-fry it to drink? If you do this, the cow will be in unbearable pain!
Lao Geng, neither a poison nor a husband, if my heart is too soft and I can't do it, there will be no food to go with the wine at noon today! Wouldn’t that offend you? Niu Taixing answered through his cruel thinking mode.
This makes me feel more uncomfortable than offending me. If I had known that the beef strips were cut from the mouth of a live cow, how could I dare to eat them? Lao Geng hadn't fully sobered up at first, but when faced with the painful condition of his mouth, which was full of blood inside and outside, he sobered up completely and expressed his guilty thoughts.
You've eaten all the food, and you still say that? That’s awesome! After all, it is a beast, is it necessary to sympathize with it? Isn't there such a saying? Don't blame me, you bastard, you are just a piece of food in this world. Niu Taixing kept talking nonsense.
What you said is certainly true, but you should not cut out the tongue of a live cow. If you want to cut it, you have to kill it and then cut it. Lao Geng repeated his point of view, then turned around and left. Along the way, the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He wanted to spit out the beef noodles he had eaten at Niu Taixing's house, but he couldn't.
