What’s the scariest thing that’s ever happened to
you?
Some people say that ostrich meat tastes like human flesh.
Originally thought it was just hearsay, until more than 80 teenagers disappeared in Kunming, and a vendor selling ostrich meat became a suspect.. It all started in 2012. In May
2012, a case that shocked the whole country caused a great disturbance in Kunming. More than
80 teenagers disappeared in front of their homes and never came back.
One year, two years, three years, the local police could not find anyone, and the children that the family had raised with great difficulty were gone. The family of the
missing teenager had no choice but to ask the reporter for help under the proposal of the leader.
Hope to arouse the attention of the masses and help them find the missing children.
Headline reports are accompanied by gray-white photos of several middle-aged people with haggard faces holding missing notices and looking at the camera with empty eyes.
They look travel-stained, and every furrow on their faces looks like the exhaustion of losing their children. Pictures of their children, some of whom have been missing for several years, are posted on the
missing notices and are likely to be dead.
At that time, the local area was not peaceful, black factories, human trafficking, street fights.. Too many reasons not to come back.
The reason why it can cause so much shock is that the number of missing teenagers is so high. More than
eighty, how many children can there be in Jinning County! What kind of madness is a criminal.
“Nonsense!”! What is the police in Jinning County doing?
Captain Liu, take your team there now.
And Lao Chang, you’ve worked so hard. In a certain office of the
provincial department, the old leader’s face was sullen.If it had not been in the headlines, they would not have known that such a bad incident had occurred within their jurisdiction. The efficiency of the
provincial department was very high, and on the day of the incident, a criminal expert working group and a case inspection team were quickly set up to go to the local area to investigate. Police Station of Jincheng Town
, Jinning County.
The local director looked at the two teams in the conference room with a smile on his face. Thank you for your
hard work. This is a small place. Please forgive us for not being well treated. Officer Liu, who is
a little younger, is said to be the youngest criminal investigation captain in the provincial department.
And the old police officer with a very smelly face is Inspector Zhang, whom he can’t afford to provoke.
The provincial department sent two teams of people over this time, and it seems that they will not stop until they find out. Thinking
like this, the head of the police station laughed even more.
You’re welcome. We’re new here, and we still need your cooperation in investigating cases on Jinning’s territory. Officer
Liu speaks very politely, but Inspector Chang is not so easy to talk to.
Yes, you have to cooperate well. More than 80 children are gone, and you can hardly fit in this place, can you? It was a
good cover-up, and not a hint of it got out! Such an important case was not reported to the provincial department, but the provincial department knew it through the headline daily. Under the pressure of public opinion,
anyone who is anxious to be driven over is not happy.
Director, please take me to meet Ms. Cheng. Officer
Liu did not give the director the same look as Inspector Zhang. The inspection team has something to do, and they are here to solve the case.
All right, Xiao Zhou, come and lead the way.
At the mention of the key figure, Ms. Cheng, the director’s teeth were almost broken, but in the face of the leaders from the provincial department, he could only force a smile on his face. Xiao Zhou,
a policeman, led the way for the people of the special task force.
This lady Cheng is not a simple person. The reason why things are so big and make headlines is because of her. Officer
Liu tapped on the door, pushed it in, and a woman who looked very haggard just looked up.
Unlike her strong and difficult imagination, she looked in a very bad state, without the sharp appearance of holding her son’s missing notice in the newspaper photo.
Hello, I’m a policeman sent by the provincial department, and I want to find out about your son’s disappearance. Officer
Liu smiled politely and sat down opposite Ms. Cheng. The police sent by the
provincial government.
The woman repeated a sentence to herself and looked up warily at Xiao Zhou, a policeman standing at the door. Her eyes were full of hostility. Officer
Liu realized something and motioned to his men to take Xiao Zhou out. There were only a few people left in the house, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
Now you have something to say.
Facing the policeman’s eyes, Ms. Cheng took a deep breath and sat down again as if she had lost her strength.
My son is missing and I suspect that something has happened to him. It
all started a few days ago. On the morning of
April 25, as usual, Han took the shuttle bus to the construction site where he went to work. After
arriving at the construction site, the site leader found that one document was missing, so he asked Han to go back to the dormitory to get a document, and the whole journey took about 20 minutes.
But until the afternoon, Han Mou had not come back.
Phone calls are not answered, text messages are not returned, and all contact methods can not find people.
Dormitory people are not there, the construction site did not return, so the big living people disappeared out of thin air.
I asked his workmates, and that morning someone saw him go back to the dormitory to get the documents and take a shortcut back to the construction site by the dirt road.
At first, the workers didn’t take it seriously. It was not until the next morning that they realized the problem and they still didn’t come back.
People searched the dormitory, dirt road, before and after the construction site, even the shadow of Han Mou was not seen.
Han’s workmate had no way to contact his mother, Ms. Cheng.
Speaking of this, Ms. Cheng’s face showed a wry smile.
At that time, she did not realize that her son might never come back.
On April 28, Hanmou’s family went to check his phone card and found that Hanmou’s last call record was on the morning of the 25th.
The phone call was made by a classmate of Han Mou, who said that the signal was not good that day, and they hung up after a few words, and then never contacted again.
So you called the police. What did the local police say? Officer Liu had already read the
simple case report, but he still asked the question.
They said they would help me find my son, but so many children have disappeared over the years, and none of them have come back.
The woman looked sarcastic and desperate. They told me to wait. I asked them if the missing children could be found?
No one answered me. Ms.
Cheng did not wait to die. After learning that many local children were missing, she knocked on the door one by one.
At the beginning, no one gave her a good look. She took the initiative to come to the door to pick up the scars and sprinkle salt on them. It would be good if she didn’t fight.
One by one asked how other people’s children were missing, one by one were cursed out, Ms. Cheng never gave up.
Probably God can not see past, after many days, she finally had a breakthrough.
After investigation, Ms. Cheng found that the number of missing children in the past few years was simply astonishing, all young boys.
Like Han Mou, he disappeared near the door of his house and left without any news for several years.
No one’s ever come back.
So she found the reporter and persuaded the parents to press their fingerprints and sign together. Officer
Liu seemed to be able to see how the mother in front of her knocked on the closed doors of the residents with tears in her eyes and pleaded at the top of her lungs.
I did it! Aren’t you here.
Han’s mother held Officer Liu’s hand, and there was not much joy on her face. Please find my son.
Live or die, don’t leave the child alone outside. There was silence
in the room. After a long time, Officer Liu said, We’ll find it.
According to statistics, 10 people are indeed missing in Jincheng Town, Jinning County, Kunming City.
They are Cai Mou, Chen Mou, Xie Mou and Li Mou.
Except for a 40-year-old man, the oldest is 22 years old and the youngest is 12 years old. The criminal police on the stage are sorting out the case, and the police officer Liu under the stage is also thinking about something.
Han disappeared in this area. Officer
Liu took a pen and drew an area on the map of the village, as well as the surrounding area of the missing place.
After investigation, more than a dozen teenagers were missing in this area.
But because the time and place of the disappearance were slightly different, it did not attract much attention in previous years.
In the area where Han disappeared, several young people did disappear, but the location of most of them is uncertain.
Of the dozens of people who are missing, very few can be located. Starting
from the place where Han disappeared, we will investigate all suspicious behaviors and people with criminal records around the village.
Several photos were put on the table, and the criminal police of the special task force were divided into several teams to follow and investigate one by one. Those
who can commit crimes repeatedly in the same place for many years with the same means and without being noticed are likely to be villagers or even acquaintances. Three men were singled out in
several photos, all carrying human lives, as the focus of the investigation.
Be careful not to frighten the snake. The main goal is to rescue the missing person. Once found, report back to the team immediately.
The members of the task force stood up and began to act. Officer
Liu, you stay.
Before going out, Inspector Chang stopped the man, and the two of them came to a remote corner. He had other ideas
about the case.
I think we should expand the search area. Just looking inside the village may delay the rescue progress. Inspector
Chang came up from the grass-roots level, and when he was young, he really cracked many major and important cases.
He believes that the disappearance of more than 80 young people in recent years is unlikely to be a simple serial murder.
What kind of murderer can kill more than 80 people in a few years? Where can he hide the bodies of so many people? You can’t bury it in
a yard.
I suspect this is an organized and premeditated large-scale kidnapping. There may be accomplices in the village. We should go door to door and investigate everyone’s improper sources of funds.
That was not the time when information technology was circulating like this. If you wanted to investigate a person, through the Internet, you could even find out what color your underpants were. I will take
your advice.
However, the task force has limited manpower, and it always has to focus most of its energy on a certain key point.
Whether it is mainly to investigate the criminals with criminal records in the village, or to search and arrest the black kiln factory where young people work as black laborers on a large scale, police officer Liu and inspector Zhang obviously have different ideas. After
several days of investigation, there were some minor frictions between the task force and the inspection team.
Fortunately, Officer Liu also found the suspected target he had locked. During the
investigation, a man named Zhang Yongming attracted the attention of the police.
Zhang Yongming, a 56-year-old native of Nanmen Village, Jincheng Town, had a murder record. In December
1974, Zhang Yongming, a teenager, invited his few friends, Lu Mou, to spend the night at home and massacred them at night. The police officers of the
special task force found Lu from the same village. According to Lu’s description, he and Zhang Yongming did not have any conflict that night, and even talked happily at one time.
I slept in the middle of the night and felt a sharp pain in my body. As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that he was desperately cutting me with a knife. While his friend was sleeping,
Chang Yung-ming tied up Lu’s limbs and slashed him.
Lu Mou was stabbed several times in his head and neck, and now he still has a ferocious scar.
Fortunately, at that time, Lu’s shrill cry woke up Zhang Yongming’s parents, and he was saved with blood.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yongming, who was tied up by the crowd, was like a man who had nothing to do the next day, saying that he was sleepwalking and did not want to kill people.
Lu said that he had not dared to go to Zhang’s house for several years since then, and he would never forget Zhang Yongming’s eyes with a knife that night.
The task force believes that among several locked suspects, Zhang is the most suspected.
A police officer stood up and said, Captain Liu, I apply to search Zhang Yongming’s house. In the middle of the
meeting, the door suddenly opened, and Officer Chou quickly ran in.
“One of the missing persons has escaped back. Captain Liu, it was the Black Kiln Factory that arrested them!” 6. The one who escaped was a young man named Lei, who was the only one lucky enough to come back among the dozens of children who had disappeared over the years.
After Leimou disappeared, his family also looked for him, and like the local missing children, there was no news.
According to Lei Mou, in the afternoon, when he was walking on the street normally, he was suddenly kidnapped by a van on the roadside.
They all had long knives in their hands, and I couldn’t run.
Lei was grabbed by the collar and dragged into the van. Two tall and strong men beside him held him hostage. The driver was also a strong man.
They took people to a big yard and threatened Leimou to work for them from 8 A. M. to 12 noon without pay. Anyone who was
slow would be beaten or scolded, and the young man who was also locked up there told him that those who were not obedient would be beaten to death. The people of the
Black Kiln Factory threatened them that anyone who dared to run away would send someone to kill his whole family.
Lei Mou did not go home immediately after he ran away, for fear of bringing disaster to his family.
Heard that the provincial capital sent a monitoring team, observed for a few days before daring to come out.
Officer, please protect me. Besides me, there are a lot of people there. They are all kidnapped.
According to Lei, most of the kidnapped workers were in their 20s and ate nothing but white noodle soup and vegetable soup every day.
Several big boys crowded in the small black room, and the black kiln factory did not treat them as human beings at all.
Even if he escaped, Lei Mou could not forget those days, he could not sleep every day, once the lights were turned off, he could not help shivering, for fear that someone would come up to seek revenge.
Thank you for your cooperation. Rest assured, the police will protect you and your family.
The case finally made progress, and the police dispatched police forces to surround the black kiln factory, rescue the kidnapped workers, and launch an investigation into this vicious crime.
The boss was arrested, more than a dozen thugs were subdued, and the owner of the black factory was a middle-aged man in his 40s, who looked unremarkable.
In recent years, he has been secretly manipulating the evil forces, kidnapping teenagers as workers in the black brick factory.
Local residents are not necessarily unaware of the existence of black kiln factories, on the one hand, they do not know the specific location, on the other hand, they dare not speak out, and let them do evil here. The
missing teenagers were finally rescued and returned home. Many parents had not seen their children for several years. When they met again, they could not help crying.
For the police, the missing person investigation is also a problem.
How many missing young people are kidnapped and killed, how many missing young people are rescued, and how many missing young people are living outside, are a lot of work.
At that time, information technology was not developed, coupled with the long time interval between years, this work could not achieve one-to-one accuracy. Officer
Liu stood by the window and lit a cigarette, frowning. It seemed like the end of this huge missing case, but he always felt that something was missing.
He did not see Han Mou among the rescued young people. Did Han Mou escape early like Lei Mou? Officer
Liu felt a little uneasy in his heart. After
some investigation, the police found that the missing person had not returned for many years.
According to incomplete statistics, at least more than 10 teenagers with names, including Han Mou, are completely missing.
The police interrogated the criminals arrested from the black factory, took out the missing notice and photos of the missing teenagers for comparison, and the owner and the thugs of the black factory said they had not seen the teenagers.
Did more than a dozen people disappear out of thin air? Officer
Liu and Inspector Zhang think there are two possibilities, either these teenagers are dead, and the people in the black factory conceal this in order not to increase the sentence for their crimes.
Or the disappearance of more than 10 teenagers has nothing to do with the black factory. Inspector
Zhang prefers the first category, and Officer Liu prefers the second category. Officer
Liu’s eyes fell on the suspect information that had been sorted out before on the table.
He promised Ms. Cheng that he would help her find her son.
Live to see people, die to see corpses. Since
this matter is from the disappearance of Han Mou, I hope to find Han Mou as the end. After
some discussion of the case, the police again sent out the police to conduct an extensive search and arrest of several suspects’homes and surrounding fields that had been investigated in advance.
If nothing can be found this time, it may really be necessary to close the case of this large-scale disappearance with the black kiln factory.
“Captain, we got something here!” At the home of the suspect Zhang Yongming, the police found the missing Han’s mobile phone and bank card and other related documents, and a large amount of unknown fresh meat was frozen in the cold storage.
Not only that, the police dug out 10 large black bags in Zhang Yongming’s field. Inside the
lid are human bones and skulls of varying degrees of decay. Zhang Yongming, a
criminal suspect, was quickly arrested. The villagers who
got the news immediately surrounded the fields, and the bags were loaded into the car one by one. When the police passed by the villagers, they could clearly smell the putrid smell coming from the bags. How many people have
died.
Looking at the black bags piled up in the car, some villagers muttered to themselves. The
police investigated Zhang Yongming and found that he was selling ostrich meat. He liked to marinate the meat with salt and pepper, and then push a cart to sell it in the vicinity.
He likes to play chess, and his chess is also good. Like other old people who live alone and don’t like to talk very much, he keeps a few dogs and walks slowly around the village with a hoe.
Ostrich meat? Officer
Liu looked through Chang Yung-ming’s records as he walked. He was sentenced to death for intentional homicide
in 1919 and was released because of his good behavior in prison and the policy of that year. After
such a person was released from prison, his small business took off and he sold the relatively scarce ostrich meat. Where did
he find the source? As Officer
Liu was walking, he suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the air-dried preserved meat hanging by Chang Yung-ming’s window, which were several pieces of black and brown preserved meat with strange shapes. Open all the
buried black plastic bags to see if there are only skeletons and skulls, but no internal organs or human muscle tissue.
His voice was cold, and the policeman beside him shivered.
If it’s just the skeleton, where’s the meat?
No one answered him. Officer Liu walked quickly to the cold storage, and all the drawers of the cold storage were opened.
When he saw half of the things in the freezer, someone couldn’t help but spit them out.
They found the missing Han. Ms.
Cheng had a dream that her son stood on a distant hillside and waved to her, smiling so brightly.
She wanted to open her mouth and call his name, but she couldn’t make a sound. She could only let her son wave goodbye and walk farther and farther. After waking up
from her dream, she did not go to the police station as usual and asked herself again and again if her child had come back. The children who were captured by the
black factory basically came back, but there was no news of Han Mou who disappeared recently.
For Ms. Cheng, maybe no news is the best news.
Sister, the police called and asked you to come over. The people who
came to report her were a little afraid to look her in the eye. It was all over the village. Chang Yung-ming dug out several bags of skeletons from the fields. Sister Cheng’s son was probably killed by him.
Okay, I see, thank you. Inside the
police station, Ms. Cheng claimed Han’s mobile phone, wallet, and ID, and asked to meet Zhang Yongming. There is no impermeable wall in the
world, even though the police have tried their best to reduce the damage to the victims caused by the details of the case, but Jinning County is such a big place.
Zhang Yongming killed people and sold human flesh as ostrich meat.
I’m sorry, you’d better not see him. The law will punish him. Officer
Liu could not bear to look into the woman’s eyes, and he could not even give Han’s body to the family.
I will kill him, I will kill him and pay for my son’s life! This demon, he will die a terrible death! At first, the family members beat and struggled with resentment, and then they cried feebly. The families of the
victims may have known for a long time that their children would not come back, but no one can accept that their children were killed, dismembered and sold.
What kind of comfort is powerless for these parents.
More parents who got the news rushed to make Zhang Yongming pay for his blood. In the gradually noisy noise in the police station, Ms. Cheng hugged the bag in her hand. Unable to do so,
she squatted on the ground. “My child, mother will take you home.”.
“10” Did you hear? The ostrich meat that
Zhang Yongming bought was all the people he killed.
It’s a good thing I didn’t buy it, otherwise.. “The man who killed a thousand knives, vomit..” Those are all children. How can he do it? The boiling public opinion in the
village cannot cause any harm to Zhang Yongming.
Zhang Yongming’s parents died long before he was released from prison. After he was released from prison, Zhang Yongming inherited his parents’ house and land and lived well with government subsidies.
His eldest brother went far away from home, while his second brother had his head cut off and went to prison because he had a conflict with people in the market.
Zhang Yongming is an anti-social personality who hurt friends when he was young and killed friends when he was young. How can
such a person care about other people’s eyes.
If this case ends with a black kiln factory and Zhang Yongming is not found, then after the special task force leaves, Zhang Yongming will certainly continue to commit crimes.
According to the old villagers, when Zhang Yongming was a child, his mother beat him severely because of mental problems.
This may also be one of the factors that cause Zhang Yongming’s anti-social personality, and it is not excluded that his family has congenital hereditary mental illness.
But now, what is the reason for Zhang Yongming’s crime is no longer important. Nothing
compares to the teenagers who lost their lives. The sensation caused by the
incident was no less than impact of the previous front page headlines, and even shocked the whole country.
Who can accept that the ostrich meat they buy at a high price will be the meat of their neighbors or even their missing children.
Ostrich meat became a forbidden word among the locals.
Many people vomit for more than a month, and when they see the meat, they think of the “ostrich meat” they bought from Chang Yung-ming.
But everything in the village later had nothing to do with Zhang Yongming. After
being arrested, Zhang Yongming confessed to what he had done.
He first attacked young children near the field with a hoe, knocked them unconscious and then pushed them home with a cart to kill them.
When the villagers went home to rest in the evening, he would turn on the TV at home to the maximum, use the dog barking as a cover, dismember the meat and viscera of the victims, and secretly bury the skeletons that could not be sold in his field.
At first, I kept the meat for myself and fed it to the dog if I couldn’t finish it.
Later, he found that there were too many dogs to eat, so he pushed the cart to sell everywhere.
He said that the villagers bought meat and the feedback was very good, so they continued to work like this. How many people have you killed
over the years.
Many years ago, Zhang Yongming killed one of the few good friends, Yang, who was willing to be close to him, cunningly disguised as an alibi. After
many years, he gave up the chance to turn over a new leaf. Faced with the police’s question
again, Zhang Yongming shook his head. I
don’t remember how many people I killed. If you
have to say the reason, because he likes it.
」…… No remorse. On the morning of January 10,
2013, according to the execution order issued by the Supreme People’s Court, the Kunming Intermediate People’s Court sent Zhang Yongming, a murderer, to the execution ground for execution.
The black brick factory was closed down. Several leaders
of Jinning County were dismissed, and the deputy head of the local county, the director of the public security Bureau, the deputy secretary of the party committee, and the head of the police station were removed from their posts.
Years later, the children who lost their lives and the broken families have become the gray numbers and labels in the case records, as well as the tip of the iceberg in countless major criminal investigation cases. A series of homicide cases in Jinning,
Yunnan, were solved.
