Mystery Hunter

"Who likes to steal the guts of children and women?"

When Yuan Jun looked at the six corpses with their internal organs hollowed out, he couldn't help but sigh.

Captain Liu contacted the forensic doctor in the criminal police team to help Xu Yiman perform the autopsy. At the same time, Mr. Shao also contacted the person in charge of the funeral home. These people are already on their way. The old man who was the doorman pulled the switch, and somehow made the funeral home light up.

He stood aside, looked at the six corpses with holes in their stomachs, and said gloomily, "Have you heard of a kind of ghost in the world that specializes in digging up corpses?"

The members of the task force are waiting for someone to come. At the moment, there is nothing to do, so old Shao also wants to hear what stories can be told from the mouth of this strange old man.

"Ghost digger, what kind of ghost is this?" Elder Shao sat on the bench in the corridor of the funeral home and asked slowly.

The janitor didn't sit down, but just stood against the wall of the funeral home, his body was still hunched, his eyes narrowed into small slits, and he looked at Lao Shao coldly: "You don't know anything at such an old age. Is it a ghoul?"

Shao Lao smiled, he has never been laughed at like this before, Shao Lao did not feel annoyed, just found it really interesting, and couldn't help asking: "I am still young, I have never heard so many strange legends, you Tell us all about it."

The janitor snorted coldly, and then told a story that he often heard his parents tell when he was a child, it was a story of a ghoul.

When the janitor was a child, he lived in a poor and white countryside. His parents had never walked out of the mountains, and never wanted him to. Because there was no means of transportation at that time, it would take one day and one night to get out of the mountains, and there were too many supernatural and terrifying legends in the mountains.

This story is a true story that happened to his parents.

It was five or six years old when his mother was pregnant with her sister.

His mother was sick once, and the barefoot doctor in the village looked at it for a day, but couldn't see why. The barefoot doctor suggested that he should go to the old Chinese doctor in the town to have a look. Maybe there will be any effect. He is helpless.

There was no other way, his father had to borrow a flat car from someone else and take his mother to the town to see a doctor.

At that time, every family was poor and didn't even have a donkey. His father could only be a donkey himself and drag his mother to the outside of the mountain.

He was young at the time and clamored to go with his parents, but was rejected by his father. He was also responsible for taking care of the house, so how could he be allowed to go with him.

No matter how he cries and fights, his father just doesn't take him. He had no choice but to stay on his own. His father was not such a person before. His father only had his son when he was forty years old. He has always been very precious. Usually, he would agree to any request, but this time, he did not agree.

It took several days to get out of the mountain to the town. He waited and waited, waiting for his parents to come back every day.

But for several days, he didn't see his parents come back. He had nightmares all night, thinking that his parents might not come back.

Finally one night, my father came back. He was startled when he saw that his father was covered in blood. He repeatedly asked where his mother and father had gone, and his father told him that his mother had been dug up by a ghoul. That night the whole village was alarmed. His father went from house to house and gathered the villagers together to go with him to the mountains to deal with the ghoul.

The villagers chattered all night before he knew what was going on from the conversation of the adults.

My father took my mother to see a doctor in the town. After the old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed medicine, my father brought my mother back. It's just that the journey is long, and they only came to the mountains this night, and they couldn't make it back to the village. They chose to spend the night in the mountains, and wait until they can see the road clearly the next day, and then they will not be too late.

The father took his mother down from the flat car and laid a quilt on a flat stone for the mother to rest. The father picked up the branches to make a fire, and gave the mother a roasted wok head. The people of that era were all poor, and these three wotou were given to their mothers to eat on the way when others saw that their family was poor.

Along the way, my father only ate some wild vegetables on the roadside, and did not eat a single bite of food, leaving all the nests to his mother. People in those days were really poor. He remembered that he had never eaten a full meal or a piece of meat since he could remember, and was hungry all day long.

The mother ate a small piece of wotou with water and fell asleep on the ground. The father did not sleep all night, watching his wife in pain silently cry.

But I don't know how long it took, but his father still couldn't resist the drowsiness. He sat on the ground and fell asleep with his head on his hands. When he woke up, the fire beside him had been extinguished long ago. He looked at his wife beside him, who was still asleep, so he felt relieved.

He reached out and touched his wife, the cold touch making him horrified. That is not the temperature that a living person should have, but like a dead person. The father hurried to check the mother's breath, only to find that she had no breath for a long time. His father quickly pulled the quilt off his mother's body, only to find that his mother had a big hole in her stomach.

The inside of the quilt and the mother's body were all covered in blood, but the outer layer was fine.

He looked at his wife's belly, and all the internal organs were gone, including his unborn sister.

His father was terrified for a while. It was still early in the morning, and there was no one in the mountains, not a single living thing.

His wife, lying beside him, had her internal organs taken out alive, and he didn't notice anything at all. He didn't know if there was some lurking monster spying on him in the depths of the woods, and he suddenly remembered the legendary ghoul.

It's a kind of ghost that walks at night and eviscerates women and children. They can eviscerate people's internal organs without anyone knowing. According to legend, it is a kind of mountain ghost with a long human-like appearance, a particularly large head, particularly sharp teeth, extremely long hands and extremely sharp nails.

This kind of ghost's nails can easily break open other people's belly and eat other people's internal organs. The father knew that it should be the ghoul that had taken out his mother's internal organs. This kind of mountain ghost can't eat men's internal organs, but sometimes it will kill men, just like a wild cat that has eaten its full stomach and grabbed its prey to play.

He unexpectedly survived.

Father didn't dare to stay there alone, and it was already night when he ran back to the village like a madman.

Under the chatter of the villagers, the men in the village took the hatchet and went up the mountain. They found the flat car and the body wrapped in quilts. The villagers found that a large hole appeared in his mother's body, and the internal organs were gone. The large hole was connected to the womb, and the baby inside was also gone.

The villagers all said that it was made by ghouls. After the mother was buried, the villagers did not catch the ghouls.

This matter spread to the town, and after a well-meaning person learned about it, he gave his father some jerky to condolence. He was very contradictory, and he was very tangled during that time. On the one hand, his mother was unfortunately gutted by the ghoul, but on the other hand, they also had meat to eat. Since he can remember, he has never eaten meat. The first meat he ate was actually delivered by someone else after his mother died.

His father hid the meat, made jerky, and gave him only one a day. My father wouldn't let himself talk about the meat, because at that time, every household had no food, and only the big landowners in the town could eat meat, but they ate jerky for about a year.

Those days were his happiest and saddest days.

It was the best meat he had ever eaten, until the time came, he could afford meat every day, but he had never eaten such good meat again. So much so that when he thinks about it, his mouth waters.

Yuan Jun said: "Maybe it's a wild wolf on the mountain."

The old man looked at Yuan Jun, snorted and said: "Do wolves only eat women? If there are wolves, my father will not be able to come back. Besides, at that time, people even ate the bark and grass roots when they advocated fighting wolves. Will the wolf be spared? At that time, it was not the wolf that ate the man, but the man that ate the wolf.”

Yuan Jun was speechless for a while, and sat on the side with his hands spread out, not knowing what to say.

Shao Lao looked at the old man and said, "Do you mean that the holes in the stomachs of these corpses are the same as the holes in your mother's stomach back then?"

Hearing Mr. Shao's straightforward question, the old man was not angry, but said, "The hole in my mother's stomach is bigger than this one. It must be the hole that the little ghoul digs out."

"Do ghouls eat internal organs?" Shao Lao asked again.

The old man became impatient: "Of course, didn't I tell you everything?"

Shao Lao was still calm: "Then have you never heard anything at night?"

The old man nodded: "I heard it, but so what. The yard is full of weeds, and there may be some wild cats and dogs in it, and even ghouls live in it. Such a big place can I'm an old man watching, do I have to go out and have a look when I hear the sound?"

"Isn't this your job?" Yuan Jun retorted.

The gatekeeper spat on the ground: "They asked me to guard the gate, not to kill me. I closed the door and closed the window, and the ghouls couldn't get in. But if I go out, I might die in The ghouls' subordinates. It's good that you didn't discover this secret, the ghouls can live here and eat corpses continuously."

The janitor smiled: "But now you are going to destroy his home so that he has nothing to eat. Be careful, this kind of thing is very vengeful."

With that said, the gatekeeper walked out slowly with his hands behind his back and disappeared into the night.

Yuan Jun said: "This uncle is more terrifying than any ghoul."

At this time, Jiang He said to the crowd, "I see, it's a compass."

"Ghost? Compass?" Yuan Jun turned his head and asked.

Jiang He pointed at the corpse and said, "Every corpse has no belly button."

"Yeah." Xu Yiman said to Jiang He, "They were cut off by the murderer along with the piece of meat on the stomach."
