Chapter 9: Rest in Peace, Black Haired Pig

  "Why?" "Don't give a damn!" "Why?!" "Doesn't matter!" "Why?! Reason! You have to tell me the reason!"

  "Pigs are slaughtered! Alright! Are you satisfied now!" Zhang Fugui finally blurted out!

  "Did you kill him?" I doubted, but he didn't look like he was lying.

  Zhang Fugui felt relieved after speaking out, "Pigs are all slaughtered, sometimes one is killed every five months, and sometimes one is killed every two or three months."

  "It's impossible! Impossible! Why would you raise pigs and then go kill someone else's when your family isn't even short on money? No way, it's impossible! And there are even pigs from your own household among the dead ones!"

  "It's not about the money. Can't you spare that little bit of money?"

  "So why you?"

  "Zhang Dajiao's family has divided up another mountain, and I just can't swallow this! The low-lying land of Er Shu's family should also be mine!......"

  "It's impossible!" Little Fatty forensic doctor was really unbelievable, "Your own family's pigs weren't killed? And three heads were killed! The loss is the most!!"

  "If you kill too many, you'll be suspected, so just kill two at your own home." Zhang Fugui said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if we lose money, at worst we can compensate them. As long as the grandson is found, everything will be fine! Otherwise, you guys keep it a secret for me, and I'll give you money, how much do you want?"

  "That can't be right!" Little Fatty forensic doctor still didn't believe it. "You're not short of money, why would you cut off a few pieces of flesh and bring them back to sell?"

  "By the way," Zhang Fugui said, "it's good to make some extra money on the side. If you take too much, it'll be obvious. The high-quality pork is in short supply and every day's shipment has a fixed quantity. If you mix in too much, it'll be easy to spot. But I'm a smart person! Unless you can keep a secret for me, I'll give you money, how much do you want?"

  ……

  It wasn't until Little Fatty explained it to me that I finally understood. Zhang Fugui killed someone else's pig simply because he thought the other family's pigs had taken over "his" land.

  Before raising black pigs, there were only a few households in the village that cultivated their own land. Most of them rented it out to large-scale farmers and went out to work as laborers. A few households with good land conditions have become planting bases for companies, and the Agricultural Science Institute also has experimental fields in the village. In recent years, there was also a trend of land transfer.

  After introducing black pigs in the village, villagers gradually reclaimed their own land for pig farming.

  Zhang Fugui was not the first to invest in free-range black pigs, but he invested the most. His own land was not enough, and he even spent money to encircle several other families' lands. In fact, his family's land was already the largest in the village, and the villagers thought he would manage it well, so they allocated him several more hills to lead.

  But there are always places he wants to go but can't, and there are always people who don't want to be controlled by him and want to do things themselves. So he secretly kills the pigs raised by those families.

  I think Zhang Fugui's psychology has a lot of characteristics, going back to record as a typical case, maybe it can be used in the paper.

  The case of the black-haired pig murder has been solved, I think this case is not difficult to investigate, it just needs a correct entry point, my first entry point was correct, obviously my luck in investigating the black-haired pig murder case is still good (Wang Yong said it's because I'm the same type as the "deceased", the "deceased" is protecting me from the underworld; I think maybe teasing Wang Yong can add a lucky halo, haha).

  Although I didn't take it seriously, this case was obviously a "difficult and major case" in the local area. The local police who knew about the inside story came to shake hands with us one after another whenever they had time off, my hand was even shaken sore, and even the director of the regional county public security bureau personally called to express his gratitude.

  Little Fatty, the forensic doctor, had a gloomy face all along. We couldn't help but ask him what was wrong. Little Fatty let out a deep sigh and said with emotion: "I've been investigating this case for over two years, from having reservations in my heart to not having any reservations. From finding the first pig carcass to today's pig carcass, I've investigated everyone, even went up the mountain to catch non-existent wolves, and installed surveillance cameras in the mountains... Ha! Looking back, it's all laughable... I thought this case was a dead end, even if experts from the province came to investigate for ten or eight days, there wouldn't be any leads. It might have required high-precision instruments from the province to get some clues... Ha!" He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I really didn't expect Dr. Qin to crack the case in just a few minutes! You guys say that evidence was right in front of my eyes every day, how many times I came and went, saw Da Huang gnawing on bones, but didn't realize it?! Two years... so many opportunities... Alas..."

  I comforted him: "What's the comparison between you and me? I'm not normal, who among normal people would care about what kind of break a pig bone has after gnawing on it?"

  Xiao Pang's face fell even more: "I know, it's my fault. It's normal for others not to notice, but we're forensic doctors, we should have noticed... We're the ones who deal with bones..."

  "You've done a great job, we all know that sensitivity requires long-term high-density training to develop, and it's really not bad that you can do so much with the limited cases you have."

  As soon as I said that, tears began to well up in Xiao Pang's eyes: "How many homicide cases are there in a year? It's a small place where everyone knows each other, and the grassroots have no chance to practice... Ah, the grassroots... Ah, the grassroots..."

  I was at a loss, Wang Yong poked me from behind and said: "Xiao Pang, are you thinking too much? She just got lucky, it's just that she happened to catch up with Zhang Fu Gui's family losing their child and messing up the formation, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to crack the case."

  "Right," I said hastily, "aren't all things 30% skill and 70% luck? It just so happens that we got to eat these few pieces of bone at noon. If our luck was a bit worse, we would have had to go to the vegetable market and the frozen pork warehouse to search for needles in the sea. And if Zhang Fu Gui sold this pork elsewhere, we would have had to intercept the express delivery. It's really good luck that Zhang's family lost their child and were in a state of panic, otherwise, without any evidence, no matter how we asked Zhang Fu Gui, he wouldn't have confessed."

  Little fatty forensic eyes dropped tears: "Wu... don't comfort me, three points of skill and seven points of luck, but I lack those three points of skill... How hard is it to find matching bones with your skills? Even in a small place like this, it's all familiar, even if the luck is bad, it will only take one or two days... Wu..."

  Okay, I was originally comforting Xiao Pang, but I succeeded in making him cry instead.

  Wang Yong glared at me fiercely, his eyes saying: Can you comfort people?! Go away! Get out of here! You're just making trouble!

  Sorry...... I'm going to be honest...... I didn't mean to, I genuinely wanted to comfort Xiao Pang, but I just couldn't bring myself to say something fake like "your autopsy skills are better than mine" when in fact I was just lucky.

  Because Zhang Fugui's grandson was missing and there were other factors to consider, the local police just quietly followed up on the investigation and the implementation of the murder weapon, but did not immediately arrest Zhang Fugui. The news was also temporarily kept secret from the outside world.

  Even without an arrest, evidence must be secured.

  I asked Xiao Pang and the forensic doctors to help set up a large pot to boil the bones. After the bones were processed, they would be pieced together to form a complete skeleton, which would then be placed in evidence bags and sealed for presentation as evidence.

  Boiling bones dates back to the Song Dynasty. Textbooks say that boiling bones is to make it easier to peel off the muscle tissue and cartilage closely attached to the bone, as well as the periosteum, so that the bone surface can be fully exposed for observation.

  Imagine this: human bones are being boiled in a pot, the milky water is churning with skulls and emitting a nauseating "meat fragrance" that ordinary people dare not approach.

  They say that boiling bones is often dry, but today's is the strangest - this pot of soup can actually be drunk.

  I said: "Wang Yong, you're not busy anyway. After the investigation is over, why don't I give you some salted shallots to drink? One hundred yuan a catty, don't waste it."

  The little citizen policeman's face became even more bizarre.

  The villagers love to watch the excitement, and three or four layers of people surrounded me. When they heard my words, they discussed: "I said it wasn't a case! Making a big fuss!"

  "When are we going to have a feast? When can we come and eat?"

  "What's the good news?"

  The meat smells delicious, people smile, and the atmosphere is very lively.

  After Wang Yong's consolation, Xiao Pang's mood also improved. He became good buddies with "Director Wang", and even came over to me, solemnly shaking my hand with both hands, saying that he would definitely learn from me whenever possible.

  Suddenly you're treating me like a big deal, I'm really not used to it!

  While cooking, I finally had the chance to dissect Da Sha's corpse. As I left, I specifically instructed Xiao Minjing: "Be sure to keep a close eye on it, don't let them eat it! If it can't be helped, divide the soup, but under no circumstances can they touch the bones."

  Wang Yong covered his stomach and laughed non-stop. I kicked him with my foot!
