I, the outlaw, was caught again

Chapter 246 A person without skin; a human skin kite? [Four-in-one monthly ticket request! ]

ps: I found that yesterday's chapter was written incorrectly. It was not a new series, but a task in an already released series. I kowtow and beg for mercy.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a new task. ]

[Ding, this mission is one of a series of missions]

【mission name.】

【'Fantasy Village'! 】

"Huh? What's going on?"

Inside the hospital, Xu Sheng paused, then exerted force with his hands. In the next second, the entire apple skin was peeled off by him.

task
Triggered! ?

A mission was triggered inexplicably! ?
And
"Fantasy?"

Xu Sheng murmured in his heart. He looked at the light blue screen in front of him, looked at the words on it, and fell silent.

"Which series of quests is this?"

"The last of the seven deadly sins? Or the last of the Hell Apartment?"

"Or"

Suddenly, Xu Sheng paused and recalled a series of tasks that had been triggered not long ago.

"Eight Immortals crossing the sea?"

The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers!
The first task is the "Mermaid Case", and Xu Sheng can feel the malice from this series in that urban area.

What malice?
Malice directed at the criminal police!
Any detective or criminal investigator dissects and analyzes the case based on logic before solving the case and bringing the criminal to court for trial.

But the mermaid case is different.

This is a bunch of lunatics!
The other person has mental problems. He is more mentally ill than a mentally ill person and far more mentally ill than a young man.

No one knows what these people's purpose is. It's very confusing and seems ridiculous.

Just like when one of the people said to the others, he heard the mermaid calling him.
There is no logic at all!

The police, on the other hand, have to investigate based on logic to solve the case.
The conditions conflict, how can I check this?!

If Mr. Xu did not know the so-called collective hysteria, based on this theory, who could understand the other party's logic?

"Which one could it be?"

Xu Sheng's heart sank.

There is still room for error in the case of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Maybe it is just a small case.

But the seven deadly sins of the seven missions and the last hell apartment are not small cases.
"There's only one mission left in both series, and either one is going to cause quite a stir."

Xu Sheng thought for a moment, and finally frowned.

"The probability is relatively high, so it seems we have to treat it with caution."

Having made up his mind, Xu Sheng placed the fruit knife on the bedside table.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Li Shu, who was lying down, looked at Xu Sheng who suddenly stopped, with a puzzled look on his face.

"nothing."

Xu Sheng stuffed the apple into the other person's mouth to cover his mouth.

"Waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

Li Shu was suspicious. He looked at the ward where only he and Xu Sheng were, with confusion on his face.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Xu Sheng was about to speak, but his cell phone suddenly rang.

He paused, then took out his cell phone and pressed the dial button. Then, a voice rang out.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey."

A shy smile appeared, sounding a little embarrassed, but also a little proud.

Xu Sheng took a deep breath, suppressed his blood pressure, and said, "Speak."

"Catch some~"

Wang Chao's shy and awkward voice sounded.

"roll!"

Xu Sheng uttered a dirty word without any hesitation.

After that, he paused for a moment and said helplessly:

"Wait."

"Uh-huh!"

Wang Chao on the other end of the phone scratched his head.

"The person who reported the case is Wang Chao. The other party found the body at 5:27 pm on May 29th."

"According to preliminary tests, the skinned and hung corpse in the self-built house in the village in the city was identified as Zhao Hu, who had disappeared for five days. He disappeared on the afternoon of the 25th, and his body was found on the afternoon of the 29th."

"After investigating the crime scene, we found no signs of a fight, and the body did not have any external injuries."

"Preliminary speculation is that Zhao Hu was most likely skinned while unconscious, or that the direct cause of death was a penetrating wound to the neck."

"But after speculation, I finally ruled out the possibility that the neck was the direct cause of death."

"The hook is sharp, but it cannot penetrate without the cooperation of the victim, unless the victim faints and has no external injuries or signs of death from suffocation. So, I finally set my sights on..."

In the self-built house in Zhaojia Village, an urban village in Jiangxi Province.

Wang Chao, who has become a doctor through long-term illness, reports his reasoning information to the surrounding police as a reporter.

The new policeman who had just arrived nearby was stunned.

"Drug!"

Wang Chao uttered a word lightly.

"The murderer had no external injuries, which means he was not knocked unconscious by a stick, or suffocated."

"In addition, we saw a man in close contact with Zhao Hu on surveillance footage."

"The other party had all the conditions to administer the drug without Zhao Hu's knowledge, so I guess it's more likely that the drug was used to cause Zhao Hu's fainting!"

Looking at Wang Chao in front of him, Li Sheng's mouth twitched.

Well, after reporting the case, Wang Chao was not in a hurry to leave.

He observed the scene carefully.

This guy made a series of inferences and speculations at the scene in a short period of time!
Even more professional than the police!

Not only did they observe the body's surface without any contact, they also carefully searched the interior of the self-built house at the crime scene.

Finally, we got a bunch of information. As soon as the police arrived, they got a lot of information.
"Mr. Wang, are you sure?"

A police officer who had been to Xu Sheng’s haunted house asked in surprise.

He remembered this man.

He is just an ordinary staff member of the haunted house, and an insurance salesman.

When he reported the case before, he thought it was a bit funny, like a flood that flushed the Dragon King Temple and the case was directed towards the police and their families.

but now.
Why is he still the one reporting the case?!

"Are you sure he was drugged?"

Wang Chao's face was full of seriousness as he pointed at the corpse.

"Except for the method used to skin the body, the body did not suffer any damage, including piercing with iron objects or beatings. This means that there was no fight between the two parties. Although Zhao Hu's brain is not working well, he is a normal person. It is impossible for him not to resist under the threat of being skinned!"

"Then there must be a condition of not resisting."

"Not many people's will can go against biological instincts. Zhao Hu is obviously not one of them. That must be a hard condition."

"Excluding the damage to the body surface, it must be internal. There is an 80% chance that it is drugs!"

There are many ways to make a person faint.

But in short, the summary is two methods: on the surface of the body and in vitro!
Things like suffocation and knocking out are external to the body. If that were the case, it would be very obvious on the body.

But obviously, the corpse is not of this type, so it is inside the body.

"I'm very sure that drugging a person to make him unconscious can cause this scene!"

Wang Chao looked serious and after a pause, he added.

"I have experience in this area too!"

Stunned? Experienced!?

police:? ? ?
The policeman was stunned and looked Wang Chao up and down.

This thing can also gain experience! ?
He looked at Li Sheng, who nodded and agreed with Wang Chao's words, which immediately made the people around him fall into deep thought.

"Okay, the murder is important."

Xu Sheng spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

Chaozi does have experience. When the "Happy Circus" case in Liuzhou Province was being finalized, Xu Sheng hired him at a high price of three thousand yuan.

Then, within just one month, he became a hot commodity for human traffickers.

Then there is no more then.

During that month, Chaozi slept as heavily as a baby.

Put away your thoughts.

Xu Sheng cast his gaze towards the hanging corpse in front of him, his brows furrowed, looking very serious.

Although Zhao Hu was very mean, he even stabbed Li Shu with a knife.

but.
Not to death!
Xu Sheng thought about finding an opportunity to retaliate, and also thought about finding a way to send him to prison for decades.

I even thought about ruining his reputation.

But I never thought of finding someone to kill him directly.

He didn't think about it, but someone else did. Not only did he think about it, but he also did these things directly.
Xu Sheng looked at the corpse in front of him silently.

How about the body?

Bloody!

There was not a single piece of skin left on Zhao Hu's body at this moment!
His scalp had disappeared, and there was no skin covering his face. His facial features and muscles were clearly visible, and there were several wriggling maggots on his cheeks.

The body surface is also bright red.

The muscle outline is clearly visible, the abdominal muscles are very obvious, and the yellow fat layer covering the muscles attracts a bunch of flies.

A large amount of blood flowed out of the body, dripping onto the ground, eventually forming this dried brown sticky stain
Zhao Hu's head was tilted, and an iron hook was tied to the beam of the house. Then the iron hook passed through Zhao Hu's neck and hung him there.

"Like a sunny doll."

Xu Sheng thought for a moment and looked up and down.

That's right.

The other person's vertical arms are very similar to the sunny doll hanging by the window, except that it is replaced by a real person. And this real person will hang in the corner of the window and stare at you silently when you sleep, staring at you with his skinless facial features.

"Where's the murder weapon?"

Mr. Xu looked around and then a police officer handed him a sealed bag.

There was also a brown, smelly butterfly knife in the bag.

【Eyes of the Falcon! 】

Xu Sheng's heart moved, and he stared at the blade with his eyes fixed.

On the blade, there was a sticky substance scraped from the corpse.

“Is this fat?”

Xu Sheng thought about it thoughtfully, then turned around and looked at the bloody corpse again.

"The butterfly knife that stabbed people became a skinning knife"

"What did the murderer want to do?"

Looking at Zhao Hu's body, Xu Sheng frowned.

Peeling off a person's skin is no small task.

In the urban area where Wang Chao's hometown was, there was a "human skin bag" case in which the murderer skinned more than one person.

But from the subsequent understanding of the case and the murderer's statement, we know that it takes several hours to skin the animal!

That's it, I just peeled the skin off my chest.
"Skin yourself all over and become a bloody man?"

Li Sheng was surprised. "We didn't see the body's skin at the crime scene, which means it was taken away by the murderer."

"The other party's goal is to get Zhao Hu's skin?"

"Why? What is he thinking!?"

What is the use of human skin?

To be honest, there is no point. Even if there are some perverted collectors, there is no need to take the risk of targeting junior high school students.

It can even be said that, judging from the fact that the other party only wants the murderer's skin, if the goal is simply the skin, then skinning the corpse in the morgue is the same.

Why are you looking for such a person?
"Does Zhao Hu have any enemies other than Li Shu?"

Xu Sheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Sheng and asked.

"No, this was checked a few days ago."

Li Sheng shook his head. They had already checked Zhao Hu's files.

"Although he's a gangster, he doesn't have any real enemies. The biggest enemy he has is with Li Shu."

"I have never asked for pocket money on weekdays."

"However, we found out that he had fought before, but it was limited to fighting with hooligans from other classes. After investigation, we found that no one among them met the conditions for murder."

"Where's Zhao Li?"

Xu Sheng asked again, "Is Zhao Li there?"

Zhao Li is Zhao Hu's mother. This is a single-parent family and Zhao Hu takes his mother's surname.

Speaking of this person, Li Sheng hesitated a little, then said:

"Zhao Li's personality has made her enemies with many people."

"Whether it's my colleagues at the factory or my neighbors, there's hardly anyone she hasn't scolded!"

"In a sense, Zhao Hu became a gangster because of her."

"But there's no deadly feud. At most, they just curse at each other."

Strange
No enemies at all.

Then why did the other party want to kill Zhao Hu?

The other party's purpose was very clear, they were targeting Zhao Hu.

If they are just looking to skin people, or even are madmen who enjoy the thrill of killing, they can simply turn their attention to those who pose less risk.

But he didn't, and chose a younger Zhao Hu
The protection of children in the East is very strict. So strict that for a case with the same number of people, the involvement of children is much greater than that of ordinary people!
What about the murderer? If he just wanted to enjoy the pleasure of killing, why would he set his sights on Zhao Hu?
Unless the opponent's target is fixed!
Fixed on Zhao Hu!
But the problem is that although Zhao Hu is a bastard, he has never had a mortal enemy with anyone.

Then why did the other party want to kill Zhao Hu?

"Is his skin special?"

Xu Sheng recalled some of the missions that bounty hunters had received.

For example, those with special blood, such as panda blood which is as valuable as gold, will be kidnapped and used as blood transfusion tools.

Or someone with albinism.

These people have very white skin, and some of them are very perverted and will look for someone to buy their skin.

"What's so special about Zhao Hu's skin?"

"No, the school organized a physical examination. It's the same as the other kids around here, no different." Li Sheng shook his head.

"It's strange. Zhao Hu is no different from the others, but despite the risk, the other party still chose to kill Zhao Hu."

Xu Sheng murmured thoughtfully.

“And no one has a grudge against him.”

Did the feud take place during a certain period of time when no one was around?

Hard to say.

Chaozi found surveillance footage provided by his boss that proved that the other party went with the murderer voluntarily and had no energy to resist throughout the process.

If it was an enmity, no matter if a third person knew about it or not, it would definitely be impossible for me to get along so harmoniously with my enemy.
So who is this person?
"Have you finished searching Zhao Hu's relatives and friends?"

Mr. Xu asked again.

"It's not finished yet. There's not enough time. We are currently checking them one by one."

Li Sheng shook his head, "But so far, we haven't found a man who has the opportunity or motive to commit the crime."

There has to be a motive for killing someone, maybe you enjoy killing people, or you kill people for money.

After all, there has to be a reason to kill!
The reasons plus identity, as well as past formation and experience, are enough to determine whether this person is a suspected criminal suspect.

"What about the license plate number? Have you found the license plate number?"

Mr. Xu asked again.

The license plate number and the car often record the owner's identity information. As long as there is no tampering, it can be almost locked.

"The car was stolen."

Li Sheng shook his head. They had checked this idea and asked the office staff to check it before they arrived.

"Stealed?"

Xu Sheng paused, "Where did you steal it?!"

To steal a car, you have to pick the lock and then steal it.

And as long as you go there, that is the so-called activity range, activity trajectory!
If possible, perhaps they could determine the murderer's range of activities by where the car was before, and then identify the other party through certain methods!
“Construction site.”

Li Sheng said, "The stolen vehicle was from the construction site."

"He disappeared one night and there was no surveillance footage."

"The other party reported the case afterwards, but the traffic police didn't find anything."

There are many ways to avoid a search after stealing a car.

For example, changing the license plate or covering the license plate number, as long as you are not caught by the traffic police, it is almost impossible to be detected.

"A construction site?"

"Find someone to check the construction site to see if anyone has disappeared recently, especially during the time period that they appeared on the surveillance footage!"

Li Sheng nodded, then sighed deeply in his heart.

This Jiangsan City is really a troubled place.
But it’s not a big problem. No major cases have happened in Jiangsan City this year!

As for the "unscrupulous and treacherous" character, Jiang Sanshi was not at fault in this matter.

If there were only three cities in Jiang, that would be a big mistake.

But the reality is that it involves many coastal provinces of the East Country, and the other party's power is also connected with foreign countries, so Jiang San City is not at fault.

Not only is it correct, it is even a merit!

So when they encounter a case again, their mood is not low, they just feel tired.

Xu Sheng paused. He didn't think about this. Instead, he walked to the door and took a look at the living room in front of him.

It’s called a living room, but it’s not really.

There was no TV or sofa, just a relatively empty room with a desk and dining table and two used chairs.

At this time, the chair was covered with bloody dirt.

This is the blood that was splashed out. I guess it was caused by a cut in some place during the skinning process.

Xu Sheng thought for a moment and walked out the door.

There is a stone staircase outside the living room door, built on the wall. It is similar to the stairs in school, but smaller.

Mr. Xu walked online and finally stood on the roof, looking at the surrounding scene.

The bungalow is not high, only about three meters.

He stood on it and found that he could walk to his neighbor's house through the platform above.

“Have you visited the surrounding area?”

Mr. Xu went downstairs and asked the police around him.

Field investigation is a very important investigative method for the police.

only.
“I visited, but to no avail.”

Han Yang shook his head. "Based on the degree of shriveling and decay of the body, the police estimated that the time of death should be the evening of the 25th."

“That was the day he stabbed Li Shu and then escaped.”

"During this time period, the surrounding neighbors did not see any strangers, nor did they hear any screams."

There were no screams, probably because the person was knocked unconscious by the drug and then the skin was peeled off.

"Take the body back to the police station and ask a forensic doctor to test for any drug content in the body."

Xu Sheng thought for a moment and urged the police officers who were collecting evidence at the crime scene.

The drug, this thing sounds very mysterious.

Like the colorless, odorless, difficult to guard against, and aphrodisiac drugs in martial arts novels, which are sought after by many people, this is the public's understanding of this thing.

However, if we separate the word "drug", it means a drug that causes fainting.

The drug that can make people faint is the drug!
In a sense, melatonin, a drug used to treat insomnia, is also a drug, but its effect lasts only a short time.

Or, the "knockout drug", the impression is that it is a kind of medicine on a towel, which can make people faint when covering their face, which is similar to the "beating flower" part.

However, not many people know the ingredients of the knockout drug.

Of course, there’s no real recipe for this thing.

As I said, knockout drugs are meant to make people faint, and knockout drugs are a type of knockout drugs. That means making people faint by covering their face with your hands!

As long as it meets this process, it is a knockout drug, and it doesn't even need to be a medicine.

for example.

Most people have asked about something particularly stinky.

When you encounter something really stinky, does your brain go blank and you feel dizzy?
If this breath is compressed on a towel and then covered with a person's mouth and nose, it will also make the person faint, and is also a so-called "sweating drug!"

"However, the neighbors did not hear any screams, which proves that the murderer either used the iron hook to kill Zhao Hu directly during the unconsciousness process, thus achieving the effect of killing him with one blow."

"Or maybe the drug was too strong."

Xu Sheng spoke up.

If your fart can make people faint, then your fart is also a drug.

But the problem is that this brief shock to the brain does not last long, just like after taking a puff, the shock will subside in a few seconds.

Generally speaking, being beaten, suffering from physical injuries and pain can make people sober!

And when a person wakes up, someone will call him.

And when someone calls, someone listens.

If someone listens, someone has to report the case.

If someone reports the case, the murderer must be caught. Once caught, he will be rewarded with melon seeds at the execution ground!

But the other party didn't shout and no one listened.

The only possible reason is that the death was quick and the effect of the drug was too great.

"Let's follow the clue of the drug."

"Western medicine, Chinese medicine, quack doctors, village veterinarians, don't miss any of these people."

"And the original owner of this self-built house, don't miss any clues!"

Mr. Xu instructed.

The police have contacted the original owner of the house. After a brief search, they found that he had no relationship with the deceased and was unlikely to be the murderer.

It is very likely that the murderer temporarily stayed in this house because no one lived there.

But just because there are no problems on the surface doesn’t mean that everything is fine.

There are still doubts about the other party and he needs to be listed as a suspect.

Han Yang nodded, wrote all these things down, and then walked out.

His goal was pure, which was to see a veterinarian first.

Veterinarians prescribe all kinds of medicines, whether it is aphrodisiacs or sleeping pills, they all have recipes.

The medicines used for animals can also be used by humans, so there are not many examples of people buying aphrodisiacs or drugs from veterinarians to commit crimes.

"food."

Xu Sheng looked through the door and looked into the living room, where the food on the table was gradually rotting and going bad.

There were also police officers around taking samples of the food.

These meals are not prepared by nearby restaurants, but home-cooked meals, in other words, meals made by ourselves.

Xu Sheng's heart moved and he walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen is an independent house. The kitchen is on the top of the bungalow where Xu Sheng was standing just now.

There is a pile of firewood here that was piled up at some unknown time and has long been extremely dry.

On the right side are two earthen stoves and a chimney on the roof.

"Blood?"

Suddenly, Xu Sheng frowned and squatted in a place in the kitchen.

The kitchen floor tiles were very black, all covered with black dirt, and within the black, there was an area of ​​similar color that Xu Sheng captured.

【Hyena's nose! 】

Xu Sheng's heart moved, and the next moment, the black bloodstains in front of him and a slight smell of rust entered Xu Sheng's nostrils.

It’s really blood!

"Is this a murder scene?"

Xu Sheng looked around and saw no blood splattering anywhere.

"No, the deceased was most likely drugged and then killed in the living room."

"The bloodstains here."

Suddenly, he paused and a picture came into his mind.

Late at night, the murderer skinned Zhao Hu and then slowly brought him to the kitchen.

"What are you doing in the kitchen?"

Xu Sheng moved his gaze to the earthen stove nearby. There were traces of burnt firewood in the stove pit.

Earthen stoves are different from gas stoves. Earthen stoves are very troublesome to burn and are only found in rural areas or courtyard houses. In 04, they were gradually replaced with gas stoves.

"Baking leather?"

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

The skin disappeared from the crime scene, but he did not take away any trace of blood.

This means that either the leather was placed in a plastic bag or the leather has stopped bleeding.

Originally both were possible, but now, Mr. Xu, who discovered the abnormality in the kitchen, thinks the latter is more likely.

"Bake the skins and take them away?"

"What does he want to do?"

Xu Sheng murmured while looking at the piles of firewood behind him.

There was a lot of firewood, including dried peanut vines as kindling and wood from outside.

And
Xu Sheng stood in front of a sorghum stalk.

He looked at a sorghum stalk that had been cut with a knife.

This sorghum stalk had been cut, and there was a trace of brown substance left at the cut. Xu Sheng sniffed it and knew it was a blood stain.

That is
"The other party came to the kitchen, dried the skin, and then chopped some sorghum stalks with a knife?"

Xu Sheng paused and looked at his feet again.

“Not only that, there are also wires.”

There is a long white line on the ground, but it is no longer white and looks like it has been stepped on by someone.

Sorghum stalks, white thread, dried human skin
"What can these three things be assembled into?"

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and an idea of ​​the combination of these things emerged in his mind.

Sorghum stalks, there are so many crafts derived from this thing.

For example, funerals, or some handicrafts, or even sealed plates used to hold dumplings.

But if you add human skin.
"It can't be made into a kite, right?"

Xu Sheng's face looked a little strange, and a not-so-good picture emerged in his mind.

In the picture, a man holds a white line extending to the sky.

At the end of the white line hangs a kite, which is made of a frame made of sorghum stalks.
It is wrapped in human skin.

Zhao Hu's peeled face was propped up by a kite, swaying in the sky, above his head, and supported by sorghum stalks, he formed a smiling face that was uglier than crying.

"A human skin kite?"

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He looked at the strange blood corpse, and then looked at the picture that looked like a handmade work of art.

"What does he want to do!?"
