In 2015, several indigenous people from New Guinea went out hunting. Because of the perennial hunting, there are no animals on the periphery of the forest, so they can only go deep into the forest.
Several people talk softly along the way, carefully looking around for animal tracks as they go, and laying traps along the way to catch fish that slip through the net.
Suddenly, an indigenous man saw a large pimple growing in the distance that looked like a "cocoon", and he was a little unsure.
He saw that the shape of the pimple was a little strange, so he paced forward to check it.
As soon as he reached the range where he could see it, he jumped away with a bullet, and he saw a human figure in the "cocoon", because the bark was wrapped, which looked like a person had grown in the tree.
He was frightened and quickly ran back to his companions and dragged them forward to check it out. Although several people were puzzled, they still walked up with him.
When they got closer, they saw that there was indeed someone inside, and they were so frightened that they immediately bowed their heads and bowed down.
There has always been a legend of human sacrifice in the tribe, and although it is all in the past, the natives are still very afraid of offending the "tree god". Several people chanted words in their mouths and said some words asking the "tree god" for forgiveness.
After kneeling, they were also in no mood to hunt, got up and ran quickly back to the tribe, telling the chief about it.
After hearing this, the chief only felt a chill in his back, and immediately summoned all the residents of the tribe to hold a sacrificial ceremony, hoping that the "tree god" would not offend the tribe because of a few natives who did not intend to offend.
Afterwards, the chief instructed the inhabitants to "fear" the tree god and not to repeat the mistakes they made today. Everyone in the tribe was terrified by this incident, lest it be a catastrophe.
However, there were still a few young people who did not believe in the "tree god", so they secretly reported the case behind the chief's back.
After receiving the police, the police immediately organized personnel to go to the tribe, and they drove to the tribe to explain their intentions to the chief.
The chief was terrified when he heard this, and knelt down to pray that the "tree god" would not blame him, and drove the police not to investigate the matter.
The police had no choice but to look for the natives who first found the corpses alone, and the natives who were afraid of the "tree god" naturally did not want to say more, and closed their doors.
The police had to go deep into the forest to find the scene of the crime on their own, and because they were not familiar with the terrain, they spent a lot of effort.
The forest is wet all year round, and the land is muddy and not easy to walk. The police followed the path trodden by the natives to the depths of the forest, where the weeds on both sides were already tall and very strong.
Fortunately, the police found the tree. The area around the trunk was already covered with moss, which was very slippery, and the police search did not go well.
To see the situation up close, they decided to cut down the tree.
After flattening the trunk, you can see that the surface of the "cocoon" is also moss, and the tangled vines and branches are as thick as the branches.
The corpse inside has been some years old, the flesh is basically supported by the growing branches of the tree to be invisible, the whole body and the tree are fused together, and it can only be judged from the remaining fragments of clothing that this is a soldier.
In order to do a more complete autopsy, the police carefully divided the trunk into multiple sections and brought the part wrapped in the body back to the police station. Only some people were left to continue to survey the scene to see if they could find some other clues.
The autopsy report showed that the soldier had been dead for more than seventy years, and the preliminary judgment was that he died of excessive blood loss after a branch was inserted into his abdomen.
Soon, the police at the scene of the crime also summoned that they had found the epaulettes on the body's clothes and some documents, which could be learned to be Australian soldiers.
The police officer in charge of the case pondered the time of death and the identity of the deceased and realized that the soldier may have been a soldier in the New Guinea campaign in World War II. This was already beyond their responsibilities, so he immediately reported it to his superiors.
The superior who received the news referred the case to a higher-level department, who contacted the Australian side to claim the body.
The Australian side arranged a special plane to bring the body back. After repeated examination, it is speculated that the soldier was killed by a Japanese attack while performing a flight mission.
In 1941, the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States, which also became the trigger for World War II.
Australia, a friendly U.S. force, naturally joined the war, and the soldier who died was a member of the Australian patrol crew.
According to historical records, he was also missing with the captain of the plane. The surviving personnel said the captain arranged for them to jump and control the plane himself and flew deep into the forest.
Subsequently, after a relentless search by the police, the only remaining wreckage of the plane was finally exhumed.
Based on clues left at the scene, police deduced that the captain also died after the plane crashed.
Afterwards, the Australian side carved the name of the fallen soldier into the martyr's stone tablet and has been working hard to find his descendants.
