Citizens and passers-by thought something had happened and gathered around. The reporter curiously asked a motorcycle taxi driver who was picking up customers nearby, he said: "Those people are preparing food."
"What are they eating?" The reporter walked over and observed carefully. On both sides of this road are the Hongmei Police Station and the Hongmei Patrol Police Team office building, with several patrol cars and riot police vehicles parked around. In between the two office buildings by the roadside, two men wearing "patrol" uniform clothes piled a few bricks on the ground, placed two iron rods on top, then placed the freshly slaughtered wild cat on it, using straw to burn off the cat's fur. Around these two men, there were seven or eight men dressed in the same uniform standing nearby watching.
