The South African Potions Mystery（3/ Potion Mti）

 

3/ Potion Mti

Mr. Tang Jerry glanced at Mr. Moshan: "As far as I know, there is a big difference between black and white areas in your country, and the poor areas are even bigger. Since the abolition of the apartheid system in 1994, South Africa has undergone vicissitudes. Great changes. What are the biggest features of these changes? It is generally believed in the world that while blacks rule the country, whites can continue to live and work in peace and contentment, it is racial reconciliation that replaces racial discrimination, and the establishment of a democratic system ensures the stability of the political situation. It can be said that South Africa It is an indisputable fact that South Africa is a model of racial reconciliation in the world. But as long as you break through the surface waves and dive into the depths of the river, you can find that South Africa is still seriously troubled by the aftermath of the apartheid system.

I noticed that South African President Thabo Mbeki pointed out in his annual State of the Nation Address in Parliament that racial discrimination is still one of the major social problems facing South Africa. Although the apartheid system is over, the specter of racial discrimination persists, and South Africa has a long way to go to eliminate this 'public nuisance'. "

"You mean this is a racially discriminatory murder?" I asked my friend Mr. Don Jerry in confusion.

"No. It cannot be so sure." Mr. Tang Jerry: "South Africa is a developing country, and the real democratic system began in 1991, so South Africa does have security problems, including crime problems, which is inevitable. But South Africa's Criminal activities are very special, almost all of them are non-intellectual general criminal activities with the purpose of robbing money. Ordinary people know that installing anti-theft doors and counting money requires money detectors. Paying attention to personal safety is an essential quality for a person. Negligent people always get into trouble no matter how safe a place is. I noticed that the village is very poor and backward, and maybe this is a money case."

I laughed out loud: "My friend, Mr. Don Jerry, the great detective, I don't agree with you. Does this boy who is only 10 years old have enough wealth for the murderer to kill him?"

Mr. Tang Jerry began to smoke: "The poor and backward areas, the lack of knowledge and the lack of medicine make them do not know how to face the disease. It is still prevalent here to sacrifice children and cut off their organs to make potions. This is used to exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases or seek wealth. Perhaps it is this kind of bad habit that led some unscrupulous guys to take advantage of the ignorance of the local people, which led to the occurrence of this murder."

Police officer Mr. Moshan sighed: "Mr. Tang Jerry's analysis is correct. According to the most conservative estimate of Mr. Gerald Lubes Chagan, who is in charge of the psychological investigation team of the South African Police Station: There are about 50 to 300 cases of this kind of murder in China. This kind of potion made from children's body parts is called 'Muti' (MUTI) by the locals. "
