Merchant of the Underworld

The beauty smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to look for it. We know you are an expert, so we want you to follow us to Hong Kong and identify for us whether the human bone necklace we bought is genuine or fake." ! After all, this thing is not cheap, and we don’t want to be cheated.”

My heart trembled: "Have you found the human bone necklace?"

The beauty nodded, causing a surge in her chest.

I frowned and asked, "Is it just as simple as identification?"

"It's that simple."

"Okay." I said, "It seems I can't refuse..."

How can I, a small antique dealer, go against a film and television company? After all, I still want to open a store with peace of mind.

"Then I will report to the boss now. If there are no accidents, I will leave for Hong Kong tonight. I wish us a happy cooperation."

After saying that, the beauty stood up and left.

Li Mazi kept watching her back, or rather her long, snow-white legs leave, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses.

I lit a cigarette and said, "Li Mazi, I always feel that this matter is not as simple as she said..."

Li Mazi smiled obscenely and said: "I don't care. Anyway, I have met my goddess. Even if it means turning me into a human bone necklace, I am willing to do so. Oh, by the way, what on earth is this human bone necklace?"

I patted Li Mazi's belly and said, "Do you like to eat fried large intestine with pickled vegetables?"

Li Mazi nodded inexplicably: "I'm really a little hungry when you tell me."

"That human bone necklace also likes to eat human intestines, and they are fresh intestines just taken out of the stomach." I said.

Li Mazi immediately turned pale with fright: "Brother, are you kidding me, right?"

I said seriously: "I don't mean to joke with you at all, so I said we are in big trouble this time! This human bone necklace is very vicious."

Li Mazi fell silent and stared at the table in a daze for a long time.

Finally, he patted me on the shoulder and said: "Brother, don't worry, even if you die, I will burn paper incense for you during every new year and festival. Take care!"

After saying that, Li Mazi wanted to leave.

I immediately stopped Li Mazi: "Where are you going?"

"Go home." Li Mazi said, "My son is still waiting at home. They are looking for you, not me."

At this moment, the door was opened, and the beautiful woman said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, Mr. Ling has been picked up by the company, and he will be served with delicious food and drinks."

"Really?" Li Mazi's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees: "Then I'll be relieved..."

After that, he sat down next to me obediently. He knew that he couldn't leave today no matter what.

"It's almost time, we can leave, just in time to catch the last flight tonight." The beauty said.

I looked at the beauty inexplicably: "You want to go too?"

She nodded: "Yes, I will be responsible for your daily life along the way."

We immediately went straight to the airport under the arrangement of the beautiful woman.

On the way, we learned that this beauty is called Yin Xinyue. I used to be an actor, but now I am the personal secretary of the general manager, and I have stopped working in film and television acting for a long time.

I can probably write a book about how she went from being a third-tier actor to being the secretary to the general manager.

After arriving in Hong Kong, we stayed at the arranged hotel.

Yin Xinyue said that she would go to appraise the items tomorrow and let us have a good rest tonight. She lives next door to us and she could call us anytime if we need anything.

After she left, Li Mazi asked me in a low voice, what did she mean by 'need'? Does the package not include physiological needs?

I said I don’t know, you can call and ask. Li Mazi hesitated for a while, but still didn't call.

Maybe after experiencing the She Yu Dao incident, I have become numb to the danger? So I didn't have insomnia at night, but slept until dawn.

On the contrary, Li Mazi, who had always been sleepy, woke up with swollen eyes. I asked him what was wrong? He suddenly started crying sadly and said he missed his wife.

It’s really hopeless...

After we finished breakfast, Yin Xinyue knocked on the door and brought a man in.

The man smiled and shook hands with us, and then introduced himself: "Hello, I am Song Longji, the leader of the special investigation team of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station in Hong Kong. You can call me Aji. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

I was stunned for a moment, how could there be another Hong Kong police officer? Making a movie? Or a treasure hunt reality show.

Yin Xinyue immediately smiled and said, "Let's all sit down and talk."

After Song Longji sat down, he opened his briefcase, took out a stack of documents from it, and placed them in front of me: "Mr. Zhang, this is the case file of the police station. You should briefly understand it first."

I was so confused that I couldn't react for a while.

Yin Xinyue explained with a smile: "I just want you to judge whether this case is related to the human bone necklace?"

I suddenly realized that they were not asking me to identify the authenticity of the human bone necklace, but they wanted me to find the so-called human bone necklace based on this case.

I immediately became a little angry, threw away the case, and said coldly: "Miss Yin, you are a bit unkind! This is different from our previous agreement."

Yin Xinyue was not angry because of my excessive behavior. She still smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, we have agreed that it is up to you to identify whether it is a human bone necklace or not."

Damn, play word games with me.

I knew I was being cheated, but I had no choice but to silently pick up the case and read it.

After reading it, I couldn't help but take a breath and smoked a cigarette to calm down.

This was a serial suicide case, and the deceased's death was very strange. Their intestines were taken out before death.

If it were just an ordinary case of evisceration, it would not be reminiscent of a human bone necklace.

But what happened after these people died is truly incredible, and it is precisely because of this that they attracted the attention of film and television companies...

Case 1: A cleaner in a certain community died in his rental house in a bizarre manner, with his abdomen and intestines emptied out. The autopsy report showed that after taking out his intestines, he boiled them in boiling water and then swallowed them.

Case 2: An employee of a courier company did not go to work for three days.

On the fourth day, the company received a strange package. The mailer was the courier. When he opened the package, he found a large intestine inside. The company then sent people to search the courier's home and found that the courier was dead. The cause of death was that the abdominal intestines were pulled out, and traces at the scene showed that whether the intestines were dug out or the courier was mailed, it was all done by the courier himself.

Case 3: A college student in Tsim Sha Tsui died in his dormitory on the night of Valentine's Day. The cause of death was that the intestines were pulled out and were not separated from the body. The six-meter-long intestines formed a heart shape on the floor of the dormitory.

Traces at the scene showed that the deceased committed suicide, and the heart-shaped pattern was also placed by the deceased himself.

After reading it, I felt my hands and feet were shaking and my whole body felt cold.

Let’s not talk about why these deceased people dug out their own intestines. Just talking about the things they did after death is very suspicious!

Because according to common sense, after a person's stomach is cut open, he only has two minutes to survive, and he will die from excessive blood loss after two minutes.

How on earth did they do so many things in two minutes?

Cook the intestines in boiling water and then swallow them. This process takes at least ten minutes.

Packing the intestines and mailing them, regardless of the time, wouldn't it arouse suspicion if he mailed the package covered in blood?

As for the one who arranged his intestines in a heart-shaped pattern, was he expressing his love in a fancy way?

For a while, it was really difficult for me to judge.

So I asked Song Longji: "Aji, how do you Hong Kong police characterize these cases?"
