There is a creature in Japan called pi, which is very dangerous in size and cunning by nature, not only able to walk upright, but also good at imitating human movements.
Legend has it that cow dung is held on top of its head like a hat and slowly beckons in the distance to attract the attention of passers-by, but as soon as it approaches, it will be immediately preyed upon by them. The monster described in the ancient books is actually the brown bear today. In fact, most of the time, they rarely take the initiative to attack humans, but in some very special cases, brown bears can become unusually frightening, and some of them will even become completely out of the way to resemble an animal.
Today we will introduce the most bizarre animal disaster event in Japanese history, the "Sanmao Bieji" incident. On December 9, 1915, as the north of Japan began to enter a cold winter, the residents of Mishigebetsu Village in western Hokkaido began to stock up on grain, grass and grain they needed for the winter, preparing for the new year. Villager Ota returned home from his morning work, but before he could enter the door, he smelled a pungent smell of blood. When he hurried into the house, he saw the most terrifying picture he had ever seen in his life, the house was a mess, there was thick blood everywhere, the children in the family were left with only a headless body, powerlessly mounted on a chair, the floor was covered with indistinguishable flesh and hair, the wall was also broken with a big hole, and his young wife was gone.
Ota was so frightened by the tragedy in front of him that he screamed and rushed to the village for help. The villagers who came to help judged from the large hole left at the scene that it was probably a brown bear crime, but strangely, the fish tank and corn hanging outside the Taitian family were not eaten at all, which was completely unreasonable. Because brown bears generally only look for food on the periphery of the house, abandoning the fishing rods at their fingertips, and choosing to be quite naked, this has never happened before. The villagers were amazed, but none of them knew why.
An atmosphere of terror spread quietly in this neighboring mountain village. The next day, the villagers moved to the lower reaches of the village to avoid bears, and the rest of the rest formed a hunting party and went into the snowy mountains to find the man-eating beast. Following the blood trail left at the scene, the hunting team soon found a body with only two legs left in the snow, which, judging from the costume, was Ota's missing wife, which was roughly buried in the water, apparently the animal's act of storing food. The hunting team searched the surrounding area for a long time, but found no more clues. After the hunting team searched fruitlessly, a villager went to seek the help of the hunter master, and after many inquiries, finally found the most famous bear hunter in the vicinity, Yamamoto Hyoyoshi.
After listening to the villagers' descriptions, Yamamoto made a very frightening deduction, under normal circumstances, brown bears would not eat people, but if a bear ate human flesh, it would no longer ignore the edibleness of humans when foraging. The monster that appeared in Sanmaobie was probably a large brown bear called a robe bear, with an oblique scar on his chest and a special preference for walking upright, looking like he was wearing a robe. The brown bear has eaten several people in a row, and he is now completely addicted to human taste, all of which are completely consistent with the tragedy of Sanmao. If it really is, then all the villagers are now very dangerous, this bear is too experienced, and has now become extremely cunning and terrifying, ordinary people can not deal with it at all.
Yamamoto told the villagers to evacuate as soon as possible, but what they did not expect was that at this moment, another, more terrible disaster had quietly descended on the village.
On the evening of December 10, in a house, villager Mingjing's wife, four sons, and several villagers who had taken refuge were preparing to rest, but their hut suddenly began to shake violently. A terrifying bear's head protruded from outside the house, and he had a huge scar on his neck, body, and shoulder, and it was the terrible brown bear that quickly broke into the room, skillfully extinguishing the fire that might hurt itself, and then aimed at the crowd and rushed over, and an old man who had escaped just rushed out of the house and was immediately thrown to the ground, and after the bear bit him into a serious injury, the monster immediately lost interest, and he slowly approached the others and began a more brutal game.
Mingjing's three children died one after another, and after being bitten by a brown bear, they fell on the ground like toys. When he was preparing to use his desperate mother, he was suddenly attracted by a special taste. Immediately after that, he dragged a pregnant woman from hiding from the corner of the bedroom, and in a helpless plea for forgiveness, the remaining brown bear nibbled on its body little by little, and the cruel chewing and terrible screams echoed through the silent village. The villagers who heard the noise had never seen such a bloody scene. When they returned to God and prepared to besiege the house, the robe bear picked up the mutilated body of the pregnant woman and ran into the forest. In less than two days, the brown bear had killed seven lives and seriously injured three others, and the act was extremely cruel. This unheard of beast injury caused a huge shock throughout the Hokkaido region, and the local government began to realize the seriousness of the incident.
After December 12, the Hokkaido Police Department and the local troops formed a crusade of up to 600 people, entered the mountainous area, and began a large-scale search and arrest operation. I thought I could hunt the brown bear quickly, but I didn't find him for several days. The crusade teammates set up a variety of traps in the upper and lower villages of Sanmao pin to trap the murderer. Something even more bizarre happened, and the bear appeared twice under the attraction of the trap, but each time it was about to approach the range, it would suddenly turn away strangely. After the Peach Blossom Team leaves, he will wander back to the deserted village. Although no edible humans were found this time, he went on a rampage and demolished eight houses. Brown bears have more than seven times the sense of smell of hounds, and their devious behavior is beyond the scope of ordinary animals. The size of the government's crusades has continued to expand, and although they have reached the highest level of victimization in Japanese history, they still have nothing to gain.
Just as panic spread throughout western Hokkaido and people became desperate, Yamamoto, who had retrieved his shotgun, finally arrived in the village of Mimobetsu, where he conducted a detailed investigation of the scene of the bear crime, and used his rich experience and knowledge of brown bear habits to help the police draw up a new bear hunting plan. During the operation late one night, the crusaders found an upright black shadow by the river, because it was too late to see clearly, and after shouting at it, he did not respond. Yamamoto suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he immediately shot at the other side, and under the unbelievable eyes of everyone, the group of black shadows suddenly ran on all fours towards the ground into the mountains. On December 14, the sky was once again filled with fragments of snowflakes. Yamamoto also found blood left by the animals after being shot in the snow, and he thought that the large troops were too easy to attract the attention of brown bears, so after covering up the smell of their bodies with mud, they chose a road into the mountain alone. After hours of tracking, the fleeing brown bear was finally spotted under an oak tree. He was drawn to the large force under the mountain and was completely unaware of the coming crisis.
Yamamoto held his breath and slowly approached, and when he reached a range of twenty meters, he aimed his first shot at the heart of the brown bear. The hit bear immediately rushed over in anger, and Yamamoto immediately stepped back and accurately fired a second bullet into his eye socket. This terrible monster finally fell to the ground after being imprisoned.
The body of the bear was carried back to the village by the crusade, and after measurement, it was found that his body length was nearly three meters, and his weight was as high as 380 kilograms, which is very rare in Japanese brown bears. Leaving the beast's belly aside, the victim woman's clothes, limbs and hair were instantly exposed to everyone. Angry villagers cut the giant bear into countless pieces, cooked it and fed it for the whole village. A week later, someone found a bear cave in the deep mountains, and there were many women's clothes and supplies hidden in it, which made people feel extremely creepy. In order to bid farewell to this terrible memory, the other residents of Sanmao burned down all the huts and bid farewell to this terrible nightmare forever.
The Sanmao Incident was the worst beast-eating incident in Japanese history, and the complex anthropomorphism displayed by the brown bear throughout the event made countless people feel chills. In order to commemorate the victims of the incident, the site of the original massacre was rebuilt by the Hokkaido government, while restoring the huts of the time and the equivalent model of the bear. The desperate scenes of brown bears entering the market are shown, and the nearby shrine also built a mausoleum for the world's victims to surpass these feared undead. After the Meiji Restoration, a large number of cultivated land was reclaimed in the Hokkaido region of Japan, and Sanmaobetsu was one of the pioneering areas. Under the rapid expansion of human territory, the area of trees and forests began to decrease, and the living environment of many wild animals was greatly compressed, which will affect the local food chain system and also change the predatory range of some organisms. The bear spring is a chilling monster, but the never-ending conflict between man and nature may be the real reason for the monster.
