Li Ziyu felt a stream of air conditioning climbing up from her back and shivered involuntarily. There are hundreds of kinds of activities in the Chinese Internet, from holding hands, scammers, to killing people and killing people. The most terrifying and terrifying thing is the fruit of this life.

The so-called "picking and cutting" is the most vicious and vicious one among professional beggars. They artificially create some disabled or "monsters" to win the sympathy of the world, or attract widespread recruitment, thereby obtaining a large amount of money donated by passers-by.

"Cai" means taking and collecting; "Cheng" means green body, raw material, generally a child born normally; "Folding" means cutting a knife and cutting axe. Simply put, it means grabbing a normal living person, especially a child, using a knife and cutting axe and other methods to turn him into a disabled monster in a strange shape.

When Li Ziyu was a child, he heard his elders say a lot of similar things, such as beggars using kidnapped children to make a deformed big-headed man: they bought a large jar, and put the child in it, exposed his head, and knocked a large piece on the lower part of the jar for excretion. The child could not move inside, and broke the jar in a few years. The child only had a head but not a body, and it was like a big-headed baby. Because his limbs could not move, he completely atrophy, and his arms and legs were as weak as cotton, and he could be merciless. If he led a monster, he would attract a lot of curious onlookers wherever he took it. Even if he had no trick to catch it, he insisted that the child was his, and that it was like this when he was born.

There is also a market legend of "creating animals" - piercing the skin of a human body, killing the animal, peeling it while it is hot, turning the human beings into dogs, monkeys, etc., used to beg for money for art - which made Li Ziyu, who was young, often had nightmares at night.

Later, he became a policeman and heard his retained husband talk about similar cases in his spare time. Those who do this are also a "craft", mostly passed down from the family era. Those who do this must first find raw materials and raw bodies. Most of them use weak people like women and children as hunting targets. Women are called "tiaozi" and children are called "stone". When "picking", they often use various tricks, such as family members highlighting bad diseases, causing urgent matters at home, or using items to lure women and children. Some also use amnesia to "paste flowers". One move, several people let the wind at the same time, and immediately escape after they succeed. The "breaking" method is a strange and extremely cruel method. The people who are abducted will be blind, disfigured, cut off some limbs, or artificially make various disabilities. Then they pretend to be a family, beg everywhere, make all kinds of pitiful behaviors, and get money and goods.

This industry made a lot of profits, but because of its extremely cruel methods, it was a serious crime in all dynasties, and it was a punishment of Lingchi since the Yuan Dynasty. However, because of its abundant profits, this industry's "craftsmanship" has never disappeared. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, a one-stop service of abduction-transportation-processing-sales was even formed.

Under the rule of Guangzhou Prefecture, cases of over-picking and cutting were also solved in the past. However, most of this was due to chance, which attracted the attention of the chief officer or constable. In most cases, as long as they were not "picking and cutting" on the ground, they were just begging with "products", the government would not ask. On the one hand, they could insist that they were a family. The victims were often blind and mute, and it was difficult to ask the origin of the case; on the other hand, the government adhered to the principle that more things were better than less. Beggars had to register in Guandi Temple, and Guandi Temple was filial to each other on a monthly basis. The constables were generally unwilling to sweep the face of the Guandi Temple.

"It's just in the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, this is also the top case." Gao Chongjiu said, "I'm going to be busy for a while."

Li Ziyu quickly said, "I also want to ask Master Jiu to support me."

"What are you doing so politely? They are all your own people." Gao Chongjiu said with a smile, "Don't worry about Ming Nu. I will ask someone to continue looking for it!"

"Thank you, Master Jiu."

A "brother" came over and saw Li Ziyu being by the side. After hesitating, Li Ziyu was about to avoid it. Gao Chongjiu said: "A Yu is his own person, but he might as well."

He whispered: "Jiu Master, someone came to Guandi Temple just now to say hello and said that Gao Tuantou would like to pay your respects. He dared not ask Jiu Master to raise his hands, but only asked Jiu Master to take care of him."

Gao Chongjiu smiled: "This old guy, the news comes quickly!" He asked again, "How should Gao Tuantou take care of it?"

"Brother" whispered to the few people tied in the yard, "There is a rich man inside, which makes him full of evil..."

Gao Chongjiu smiled without saying a word.

"What should I do, Master Jiu?" This "brother" blinked his eyes and looked at the "Boss". As long as the boss talked loudly, even if someone looked at him, he would still call the prisoner "death from an emergency."

"This matter cannot be done." Gao Chongjiu was very straightforward, "Go back to the people he sent. Now the rules are different from the false and clear-headed. I forgive my brother for not taking good care of him. Please take care of him more and worry less. In a few months, he holds a birthday party, and I will go to celebrate his birthday."

"Brother" nodded and left. Li Ziyu was a little worried - he knew about Gao Tianshi's name: the top figure who was named in the city bureau. The leader of the Guandi Temple's troops was amazing in the city. They rushed into the inn less than half an hour. Not only did he know, he also sent lobbyists. No wonder the Public Security Department was extremely interested in the situation of the Guandi Temple's troops.

Thinking of this "Jiu Master" also has amazing energy - he thought Gao Chongjiu was just an experienced and extensive old man, but he didn't expect that even a person like Gao Tianshi would call him brothers.

Not to mention this, there are many Kuaishou yamen runners who have friendship with Gao Tianshi and even have deep friendship, but none of them are retained, and some are simply "cleaned". Not only is Jiu Ye retained his wife fairly, he also quickly became a formal criminal policeman - it can be seen that Australians also trust him quite a lot.

"This group of people is not simple. Gao Tuan's head is coming out to cover his face." Gao Chongjiu said and touched his chin.

"Justice Jiu!" A "brother" came over with a nervous expression and replied, "Come here and take a look, this place is damn unclean!"

Gao Chongjiu didn't seem surprised. As the "brothers" entered one of the thatched huts, they saw an altar in the center, which was decorated with incense burners and other objects, and several incense sticks were not extinguished. It seemed that the original god position was no longer visible at this moment, but various "evil things" were scattered everywhere in the room: wooden seals engraved with talismans, red and black ropes, various paper people, red book talismans, and seven or eight gourds of various sizes, with a red head rope tied to them and five-color velvet outlined.

Li Ziyu looked at the items in the room with disgust and silently recited the Diamond Sutra in her heart. Gao Chongjiu looked at each item with a serious expression. After a while, he said, "No wonder this old guy Gao Tianshi is anxious!" He pointed to these objects and said, "Do you know what these are?"

"They always use all kinds of evil things."

"These seven or eight gourds each contain a soul." Gao Chongjiu breathed heavily, "This group of people is not as simple as cutting and creating animals, they are picking their lives."

Li Ziyu was startled, subconsciously leaned towards the door, and stammered: "This, this, this, it doesn't matter? Why don't we go and invite a few Taoist monks to do the rituals first..."

Gao Chongjiu shook his head and said, "You will do the ritual again in the future. Don't worry. It is a great merit for us to solve this case. These lonely ghosts who died unjustly will only thank you." He sighed, put his hands together and murmured a few words of the "Mantra of Rebirth".

Gao Chongjiu said that Caisheng in the slashing of Caisheng actually has another meaning: that is, kill the living person and harvest the soul for driving it. When killing people, there is a complete set of magic rituals. After killing people, their souls are contained in the gourd and are driven by the owner at any time.

Li Ziyu was frightened when she heard this. She didn't expect that there would be such a weird and terrifying thing in the world. She couldn't help but approach the door a few more steps.

"I have been in the office for more than 30 years, and I have only encountered such cases once." Gao Chongjiu sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect you to meet them after a year of work."

I don’t know if this is lucky or unfortunate. Li Ziyu secretly laughed at himself. However, he also knew that the most important thing for handling cases was the accumulation of experience. With an old man like Gao Chongjiu, he really gained a lot of experience. If it were someone else, he would probably be "not a good person".

Gao Chongjiu had no intention of leaving. He looked carefully in the room for a while, then suddenly walked to the door and asked, "There is a boy I said about that woman. Have you found it?"

"Brother" said: "No one was found."

"Call a few brothers and dig in this room." Gao Chongjiu said, "I think the smell in this room is not right."

After a while, two or three people came in. They were very well-organized in their work. First, they lifted up the bamboo couch by the wall. A "brother" twisted the soil on the ground with his fingers and said, "It's new soil!"

"dig!"

Gao Chongjiu gave the order, several people started to work together and instantly dug out the soil under the bed. Before digging too deep, they dug out a large piece of purple-black soil - penetrated the blood. Several people were energetic and tried harder, and someone shouted, "Be careful! You have it!"

Several people slowly lowered the shovel, and soon dug out a child's corpse from the ground. It was not long before it was buried, and the corpse was not hard yet. The corpse was covered with damp mud and sand. Gao Chongjiu put a reed mat outside and placed the corpse on it.

Although the body was covered with mud and sand, you can still see the miserable situation when you were killed. The facial features, nose, mouth, lips, tongue, ear tips, eyes were cut off or dug out, the hands, toes were cut off, the upper body, chest and abdomen were cut open, and the inside was filled with mud and sand. I don’t know which organs were cut off.

"Master Jiu, do you want to fetch water to rinse it?" asked a "brother".

"No, this is a coroner. Let's not move the corpse." Gao Chongjiu said, "Australians will send someone to perform the autopsy."

Li Ziyu took a look and could no longer bear to watch. When she fled to Zhaoqing, she had seen many corpses drifting on the Xijiang River. However, this was the first time she saw such a tragic situation.
