Wang Yanjin frowned as he looked at the bloodstains on the floor of the crime scene. Recently, there had been several strange murder cases in Jiangyang City: cases of elderly people eating themselves, cases of teenagers eating each other, and today's case of filial cannibalism.
Each one was horrifyingly cruel and everyone speculated that it was the work of a supernatural entity, but they could not find any supernatural clues in the details of the cases.
The common feature among the victims in these strange cases was that they loved to eat! According to the victims' relatives or neighbors, the victims had an increased appetite and became very hungry in the past few days. Professor's son had even taken his father to the hospital for a check-up, but nothing unusual was found.
Today's case was even more outrageous. The couple who committed the crime were doctors, but they inexplicably ate their own child's arm. Fortunately, the neighbors who heard the commotion called the police in time and saved the child whose arm had been severed.
"Wang, we've found out. They used an anesthetic from the hospital on their son and then...used a surgical knife and bone saw to separate the arm, then...cooked it in the oven and ate it," a female police officer reported to her captain with a frown.
"What is the mental state of the suspects?" Wang Yanjin asked as he walked towards the temporary confinement room where the suspects were being held.
"When questioned, they will say anything and won't hide anything. But if you don't talk to them, they will be in a daze and want to eat," the female officer replied.
Wang Yanjin pushed open the door and saw a middle-aged couple restrained on the bed, with three police officers standing by.
The couple looked depressed, with drool running down their mouths, muttering to themselves with their heads down.
"Li Cang, what do you want?" Wang Yanjin shouted loudly to the man in the couple.
"Meat! I want meat!" The man raised his head, his eyes shining, somewhat frightening.
"What kind of meat do you want?" Wang Yanjin deliberately followed his words and asked.
"Roast meat! Roast meat!" Li Cang was a bit crazy, laughing wildly, "It's a heavenly delicacy! Once you've tasted it, you'll never forget it!"
"What kind of roast meat is so delicious?" Wang Yanjin asked loudly, the interrogation process was to shock the criminal's mind.
"Human roast meat! Human roast meat!" Li Cang's speech was unclear due to drooling.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Wang Yanjin's head was pounding. Was this guy a cannibal? His mental problems seemed very serious!
"Ding dong"
Suddenly, his phone's WeChat app beeped. Wang Yanjin thought it was his leader contacting him and quickly paused his work to check his phone.
It wasn't his leader, but a message from Ye Sha with an address attached. "This barbecue restaurant may have a problem, I suggest you contact the Strange Slayer Bureau to check it out."
Wang Yanjin quickly clicked on it and saw the Ren De Barbecue Restaurant? He was busy with work and didn't have time to pay attention to these things, so he asked a colleague about it.
"This restaurant is quite popular recently! I was even planning to take my wife and son there for a meal!" The colleague laughed and introduced it.
After thanking him, Wang Yanjin put away his phone and walked into the bedroom, his mind full of thoughts. After all, he still had work to do.
When he saw Li Cang sitting on the bed drooling, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind! He took out his phone and rushed to Li Cang
Displaying the screen, Wang Yanjin shouted loudly, "What kind of barbecue do you want to eat, Li Cang?"
"Human barbecue! Human barbecue!" Li Cang stared at the phone screen, trembling all over, drooling more, and his speech was incomprehensible.
Wang Yanjin saw this and understood immediately. He became excited and said to the guard, "Take them back to the police station. I will report this!"
"Yes!"
The scene of the crime became busy all at once. The officer who had just explained Wang Yanjin's confusion curiously approached and asked, "What's going on? Did you find any clues?"
"I found out that there is a problem with that barbecue restaurant. Chen, don't take your wife there to eat!" Wang Yanjin patted the officer's shoulder and turned to walk outside the room...
"Are you saying that all these cannibalism cases are related to that barbecue restaurant?" a black-clad monster slayer asked. He was Wang Yanjin's partner named Hong Zhen.
"Yes, when I asked the killer about the situation, he kept saying that he wanted to eat human barbecue. When I showed him the picture of the store, he became excited. So, he must have been talking about Ren De Barbecue!"
Wang Yanjin was waiting outside the meeting room to report, and his superior was holding a meeting.
"I collected information on several cases on my way back. The victims or the culprits had all eaten at that barbecue restaurant!"
"This is so messed up! I dare not eat out anymore!" Hong Zhen said indignantly. He had also wanted to try Ren De Barbecue before but never thought that something sinister was going on behind the scenes.
The door of the meeting room opened, and the head of the task force, Gong Yuanlong, was about to return to his office when he was stopped by Wang Yanjin.
"Team leader, we have found some clues in the cannibalism cases!" Wang Yanjin took out his phone and showed Gong Yuanlong. "It's this Ren De Barbecue restaurant. I request that we immediately dispatch officers and monster slayers to investigate and seal off the area!"
"What? Explain it clearly." Gong Yuanlong's mood changed when he heard the name of the restaurant.
"The victims and the culprits all ate something from this restaurant!" Wang Yanjin explained quickly.
"Then you investigate this matter! You are in charge of mobilizing people!" Gong Yuanlong was a bit flustered and handed Wang Yanjin some documents before turning to leave.
"Team leader, what's wrong with you?" Wang Yanjin asked in confusion.
"Your sister-in-law took Xiao Dong there to eat too! I haven't been home for several days. I need to go back and check!" Gong Yuanlong was sweating profusely and ran away.
Wang Yanjin and Hong Zhen looked at each other and didn't dare to delay. They immediately went to mobilize personnel...
