Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 207 The Truth! [14]

They are pigs, sows, and a whole herd of sows that lay golden eggs!

Those few words were like a thunderclap in everyone's ears!
Sun Chuan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. No, it was extremely unpleasant!
His hands clenched, his face was ashen, and he stared at Zheng Shijie as if he wanted to devour him whole!

What if you can't fit a person into the jar?
Cut it in half and you can stuff it in!
Five years ago, fearing arrest by the police, he even threw more than a dozen jars containing people into the river.
Nowadays, people are even directly referred to as sows that lay golden eggs!

"Heartless and insane" is an understatement to describe Zheng Shijie and his group. The other party was, in fact, a brutal, anthropomorphic humanoid creature!
"What do you mean?"

Xu Liang frowned slightly, sensing something. He then changed his posture and continued to stare at Zheng Shijie in front of him.

"Speak more clearly, and watch your emotions, after all, this concerns the situation of your wife and daughter."

The other party is very emotional. Based on their previous attitude, they should have been compliant, not aggressive.

Perhaps it was because of self-abandonment, or perhaps it was because he felt that he would not escape death after saying these things, so his body instincts caused Zheng Shijie's emotions to surge.

But Xu Liang was too lazy to pay attention to any of that.

He only cared about how these people were squeezed dry!

Upon hearing the words "wife and daughter," Zheng Shijie's agitated emotions gradually faded, and he regained a sliver of clarity.

His hands were handcuffed, and he looked at the crowd in front of him, his lips moving.

After a long while, a calm voice rang out.

Do you know what a beggar is?

“A beggar?” Sun Chuan behind him paused.

"A beggar begging for food?"

Zheng Shijie paused for a moment, then nodded.

beggar.

This thing has many names, such as 'beggar' or 'goblind'.

The exact time of their origin is unknown. All that is known is that they were a group of people who were starving and had no choice but to beg for food on the streets.

"These are normal beggars, but all they do is beg for food."

Zheng Shijie began to explain to the person in front of him.

"All I wanted was food. I would knock on the doors of the residents along the way, bring a broken bowl, and if the residents were kind, they would scoop out a bowl of white rice for me, or give me a few pieces of dry steamed buns."

"But what if it costs money?"

要钱
Sun Chuan, Su Yu, and the others paused.

The beggars Zheng Shijie mentioned mostly disappeared before 2015, and many had already disappeared by 00.

On the contrary, with the development of society, beggars asking for money are more like the normal impression people have of the word "beggar"!

Now that Zheng Shijie has said that...

The people in front of them were stunned for a moment.

Zheng Shijie continued speaking:

"Humans are empathetic and have feelings."

"This behavior can be seen in earthquake aid, disaster relief, and humanitarian aid in the event of war in other countries."

"It's the same with beggars. When they abandon simply begging for food and turn to making money, they become sows that lay golden eggs!"

In human society, there is often a strong tolerance and compassion for the weak.

When you see a beggar, some people may be wary, but most people feel sympathy!
That is
"Is your purpose merely to beg?"

Sun Chuan couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly spoke up.

At this moment, his eyes were very cold, and his chest was heaving, clearly suppressing his anger.

He was angry.

Sun Chuan's eyes seemed to burn with a furious rage, a fire that wished it could devour Zheng Shijie completely!
"If you only look at the essence, it really is begging."

Zheng Shijie spoke expressionlessly.

Hear the words.

Sun Chuan immediately showed anger on his face, his expression becoming ferocious.

"It's just for begging, why would you do that?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Is it really necessary to cut off the victim's lower body just to force them into begging?

"Because it makes money!"

Zheng Shijie said coldly, interrupting the other party.

Sun Chuan paused, and before he could refute, Zheng Shijie spoke again:

"Do you know how much more money they can make!?"

"A beggar who disguised himself as a disabled person could earn 10,000 yuan a month five years ago in places like Shangcheng, Haicheng, and Qingshi City!!!"

"Ten thousand! A whole month, without doing anything, the net profit is a whopping ten thousand!!!"

Zheng Shijie's voice gradually rose, and he poured out what was buried deep in his heart.

Do you know how many people work themselves to the bone and only earn so little in a year?

Five years ago, in 2000.

Wages were very low during that period; the average factory worker earned around a thousand yuan a month.

Those who are slightly better off can earn 1,500 or 2,000.

In rural areas, people can only rely on selling their physical labor.
"I only made six hundred fucking!!!"

As if he had just thought of something, Zheng Shijie clenched his fists, his eyes gradually turned bloodshot, and he spoke with spittle flying everywhere.

“I put in my physical labor, I go to the job market to sell myself, I get up at five in the morning and wait for someone to come and buy me.”

"I only make six hundred a month, damn it!!!"

"But if you beg, you can earn ten thousand a month without doing anything else! I couldn't even earn ten thousand a year if I didn't eat or drink!!!"

He roared at the top of his lungs, clearly having done manual labor before entering this line of work.

Ten thousand.
For just ten thousand, a person would be imprisoned and forced to beg.
Yang Ruoxi felt a little cruel; a strange expression appeared on her face, and a trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes.

Zheng Shijie seemed to notice this trace of melancholy, and spoke again.

"You don't think it's only ten thousand, do you?"

"Losing an arm means an extra five thousand a month!"

"Even if I lose a leg, I can earn an extra five thousand a month!"

"The more miserable you are, the more money you earn; the more hardship you endure, the more money flows in like water!"

"If one person earns 20,000 a month, what about ten people? That's 200,000! That's 2.4 million a year!"

Zheng Shijie spoke, and in just a few words, he revealed an astonishing profit.

Ten people, 2.4 million
If you can manage fifty people, you can make tens of millions a year!
Tens of millions in net profit!
Do billionaires know this? The companies these people own, with market values ​​exceeding 100 million, may not even earn 10 million in net profit in a year!

Zheng Shijie only needs to control fifty people.
He can single-handedly outperform a company with a market value of over 100 million!

"If there are one hundred people, two hundred people..."

Zheng Shijie muttered as if he were possessed.

As he finished speaking, Sun Chuan gradually felt a chill run down his spine. The hairs on his arms stood on end, and he felt a cold shiver down his spine, as if a ghost was blowing on his back.

Two hundred people, that's about fifty million a year.
cost?

No cost!

The corrosion marks on Qi Yu's forehead were caused by acidic substances such as sulfuric acid being splashed on him.

This thing isn't worth much, but the waist and hip bones can be made by using sticks and putting in some effort.

At most, it's the essential hemostatic medical tool needed to remove the thigh or leg.

These things are worthless!

In fact, there's no need to treat these people who have earned tens of millions of dollars with any special care!
Are they serving you the best food and drinks?

What if I gain weight?! If I'm not skin and bones anymore, who'll still give me money?!

Do you need to get treatment when you're sick? Yes, you should get sick! Once you're sick, money just flows out like water from a tap!

Therefore, you can't eat swill; you can just eat some spoiled food!

"A modern-day beggars' guild?"

Xu Liang looked at the other person and suddenly uttered a single word.

Zheng Shijie paused, subconsciously looking up. His eyes, once filled with greed, regained a sliver of clarity as he looked at Xu Liang, and then he silently nodded. "Mm."

"okay, I get it."

Xu Liang nodded to indicate that he understood, and then felt an immense pressure pressing down on his shoulders.

Yang Ruoxi, standing behind him, hesitated, wanting to ask something but feeling it wasn't appropriate to ask in this setting.

"Which river were those dozen or so jars thrown into?"

five years ago.

There were more than a dozen jars containing more than a dozen 'finished products'.

However, in 00, Shangcheng set up a crackdown plan against human traffickers.

Checkpoints were set up along the way, and strict searches were conducted even during the New Year.

Zhang Yong and Zheng Shijie, however, were completely unaware of this and continued transporting the goods. When they encountered a police investigation along the way, fearing trouble, they eventually broke through the checkpoint.

During their escape, more than a dozen jars, along with the people inside, were thrown into the river.
These people will die within minutes!

If I'm not mistaken, those dozen or so bodies are still at the bottom of the river!

"Where else in Jiangcheng can we dump this?"

Zheng Shijie laughed self-deprecatingly, then fell silent, and finally said:

Chenghe River.

"Where in Chenghe was it lost?" Xu Liang asked again.

"Chenghe Bridge, I've forgotten the details." Zheng Shijie finished speaking and then fell silent.

"Ah."

Xu Liang stood up, turned around, and glanced at Sun Chuan behind him.

The people behind him, including the person in charge of the detention center, looked extremely grim, especially Sun Chuan, whose face turned green as if he were a bronze statue.

More than ten people.
Not counting the other so-called 'buying and selling'.

In that one incident just five years ago, more than ten people died!

What level of case is this?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this is outrageous!

The more he thought about it, the uglier his face became, until a voice beside him startled him awake.

"Take him with you to Chenghe."

Xu Liang glanced at the dark night outside, took a deep breath, and said.

It's already 6 p.m.

But no one would think of resting before retrieving the body!

Sun Chuan looked at the person in charge of the detention center.

The person in charge took a deep breath, nodded, and indicated that he would make the arrangements.

See this.

Xu Liang got up, not wanting to ask Zheng Shijie anything, but walked out of the reception room and waited quietly in the hall for Sun Chuan to gather manpower and for the person in charge to make arrangements.

"Snapped!"

Xu Liang lit a cigarette, the flame burning the tobacco in the quiet hall.

He sat in the chair, took a deep breath, and felt the nicotine fill his chest. The pressure on his shoulders suddenly felt much lighter.

Just as he exhaled smoke and watched the smoke drift away in the wind.

Suddenly, two shadows appeared on either side of me.

"Snapped!"

Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi sat on either side of him.

Su Yu sniffed the cigarette, thought for a moment, and seeing that Xu Liang had smoked his third cigarette, she took the cigarette out of his mouth and then stubbed it out.

"Smoking too much isn't good," she said softly.

Yang Ruoxi took a lollipop from her bag and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.

"Boom!"

Savoring the taste in his mouth, Xu Liang smacked his lips a little.

If he doesn't want to smoke, then he doesn't have to; he's not addicted to cigarettes anyway.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoxi hesitated for a long time, but still didn't speak, until Xu Liang couldn't stand it anymore and spoke directly:

"You can ask any questions you have now."

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately spoke:

"Are they really doing this?"

"Otherwise what? You don't think Zheng Shijie is just messing with the police for no reason, do you?" Xu Liang said.

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu looked surprised and shocked.

They cruelly reformed people just to make them beg.
but
"This wasn't Zheng Shijie's idea."

"This thing exists."

Xu Liang thought for a moment, but ultimately couldn't figure out exactly when it appeared, so he could only say, "At least a thousand years ago."

More than a thousand years.
So this existed in ancient times?
Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu were increasingly shocked.

"Have you ever heard of 'harvesting and mutilating'?" Xu Liang patiently explained.

The so-called "harvesting and cutting" does not refer to the act of picking flowers and plants.

It's targeting people!
"采" means to select, "生" means life, and "折割" is the literal meaning of the word, meaning to break or cut off.

Taken together, it becomes the act of choosing life, breaking it, and cutting it off.

"It was done by the Beggars' Sect."

“They would smuggle people from human slave traders or simply abduct them themselves, then cruelly modify them, and then lead them out on the street like dogs to beg.”

Xu Liang paused, then said, "Well, it's similar to those who train children to be thieves, but it's more ruthless and more profitable!"

"Even more cruel is the so-called 'animal creation technique'."

The so-called animal creation technique.

It is something that lies between legend and reality.

Literally, it means creating animals through methods of harvesting and dismembering!
As rumored.

A street performer led out a dog with completely black fur. This dog was very intelligent; it could jump through hoops of fire and understand other commands.

It's even said that whenever a viewer throws money, the viewer will put their hands together, stand up, and say in a strange tone, "May your happiness be as vast as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain."

"This isn't a dog, it's a person."

“A child is made mute by drugging him, and then his legs are broken with needle and thread or even broken off to make him look like a dog. He is then dressed in a dog skin and trained to say fixed blessings. Thus, the so-called ‘talking dog’ is born.”

Xu Liang began to explain.

These are all things that the Beggars' Sect created throughout history.

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu felt as if their worldviews had been violently shaken.

The two young girls froze on the spot, their delicate faces showing a look of confusion.

Animal husbandry and mutilation, animal breeding techniques, talking dogs
From birth until now, neither of them knew that such a thing existed in the world.

Just hearing it right now is like a missile exploding in my mind!

"Don't worry, this stuff will decrease over time."

Seeing this, Xu Liang still offered a word of comfort.

One is his junior sister, and the other is his tagalong.

These are all people close to me; I can't afford to have any problems with my mindset!
Upon hearing this, the two snapped out of their daze, nodded, but couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Yang Ruoxi only thought for a moment, what if she were kidnapped and made into this?
She felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively moved closer to Xu Liang.

until.

Sun Chuan's ugly face appeared before Xu Liang. His expression was gloomy as he said to Xu Liang:
"Everyone has been mobilized!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang paused for a moment, then immediately stood up.

"go!"
