One time, the criminals held Mr. Zou Guoyan's five fingers together tightly and then inserted a toothbrush between his fingers and viciously twisted it around. Very quickly the skin on Mr. Zou's hands was lacerated and his muscle were exposed and blood flowed. The criminals still continued twisting the toothbrush.
