When I was a teenager, I heard about this story, but I deemed it an urban legend at that time. However, two years ago, I read it again from a file, so it may be true.
At the beginning of the 20th century, a fat man travelled to Chengdu, a large city in western China, to sell the herbal medicines. After a few days, he had sold out all his goods and prepared to have lunch before returning. In a small restaurant, a young guy sitting around struck a conversation with him. The young guy told him that they were fellow villagers and he had seen the fat man before. After this meal, the young guy invited him to go to his home because it was so rare to meet a fellow villager. The fat man agreed because he has sold out all the products and there was no need to go home immediately.
At first, the fat man wanted to leave after several hours. But the young guy urged him to stay for several days because, in the young guy’s words, it was so difficult to meet a fellow villager in this city. So, the fat man stayed for several days. After a few days, when the fat man was going to leave, the young man handed over a letter to him and asked the fat man to deliver it to a relative on the way home. The fat man agreed eagerly.
A few days later, the fat man found the place of the relative of the young guy. But it was very late and the fat man was reluctant to knock on the door then or the next day. At this moment, however, he heard a conversation begin in the house. The fat man was suspicious: why is anybody up and talking at this hour and he attempted to know what was being said. After a few seconds, this fat man hurried away and summoned the police immediately.
What happened at that moment? In fact, the curiosity of the fat man had saved his life because the horrible conversation he heard is as given below:
A: “Why has that poor man not come yet?”
B: “Don’t worry, he will not be too long.”
A: “All right, but I need to see this poor man now.”
B: “I have heard that he is so fat that his body will be able to contain all we need. That is great.”
After hearing the last sentence, this fat man sensed danger. He crept away and then opened that envelope in private. Troublingly, this letter described nothing but the name, occupation, home address and other information regarding this fat man. At this moment, this fat man realised that the fat man in the conversation must be himself. So he called the police, and the police arrested all the people in that house at once.
So what happened exactly in this process? In fact, the young guy and his relatives were villains and drug dealers, and they conducted their business into the following way. Firstly, the young guy sought a foreigner in Chengdu and selected one who was not very bright. Next, the young guy invited the person whom he had picked to go to his home so that he could gather information about his target. Usually, the young guy preferred to choose those who were single and destitute. Thirdly, the young guy would ask the potential victim to deliver a letter on his way home, and the destination was the haunt of his accomplices. Finally, after learning the identity of that potential victim and ensuring there was no risk, the criminals would murder the victim and hid opium in his body. And this was how they smuggled their shipments of the drug safely, transporting them inside corpses that they claimed to be on their way to funerals.
