Chapter 025 - Dilian (4)

"Clothes, give me your clothes!" Li Run, who was originally walking towards the green-haired man, suddenly turned around and threw himself down in front of Xing Ruyi. Because she has no skin, her face looks extremely terrifying.

Although he was mentally prepared, when Xing Ruyi met this face, he still gasped unconsciously. She felt that Li Run in front of her was very much like the legendary victim who was skinned in that way. Because her skin was so clean.

Los Angeles is located in the Central Plains, with mountains, rivers, hills and rivers, but there is no desert.

Judging from the newspaper that Greenhair brought, Li Run disappeared from his family's villa. In the villa of the rich, it is impossible to have a desert, so why is Li Run's skin gone?

"I like your clothes, can you take it off and give it to me?" Li Run saw that it was not possible to take it by force, so he immediately changed his strategy.

The clothes in Li Run's mouth are of course not the one that Xing Ruyi is wearing, but her skin. Li Run was skinned to death, and after his death, he became a skinner. Just as the Hungry Ghost has a strong grudge against food, the Skinner also has a strong grudge against other people's skins.

Xing Ruyi took a half step back, spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I like this dress very much." ”

"Give it to me! Gotta give it to me! Li Run's gaze suddenly became fierce.

Xing Ruyi wanted to laugh.

"Why don't you show me how I have to?"

Li Run raised his hand, but was beaten down by Xing Ruyi with a ghost card.

The ghost card itself is a magic weapon in the underworld, and this piece in Xing Ruyi's hand is even more different, because it was given by Yan Jun himself. Li Run's hand was hit by the ghost card, and then he retracted, and his face showed an extremely painful look.

"Sister, shall we just take her back?" The green hair looked at Li Run with some headaches.

No wonder it was useless for him to detain his soul before, because Li Run's soul had always remained in her body. The soul belongs to yin, and the flesh and bones belong to yang, even if it is a ghost, there is no way to forcibly detain a "living person".

"Do you see what's coming?"

"See? Sister, the one you said? ”

"So close to you, don't you see that there is something different in Li Run?"

"It's no different, whether it's a rich lady or a poor person, as long as it's a girl, don't you have these parts? Of course, there are good and bad parts. To be honest, this Li Run's figure is still quite good. ”

"Whoa!" Xing Ruyi slapped the green hair: "Who let you see that!" ”

"What do you want me to see, sister?" The green hair rubbed his scalp aggrievedly, and he swore that Ruyi must have slapped him with a ghost card just now.

"Fu, there are some talismans printed on Li Run's body."

The green-haired stared intently, and sure enough, he saw some charms, which were not attached to Li Run's body, but embedded in Li Run's skinned and bloody flesh. How to describe it? It's like when you take a ballpoint pen and write on straw paper, and then you die of the page you have written, only to find that the next page is also printed with handwriting.

"What kind of charm is this?" Greenhead asked.

"I don't know, I don't know." Xing Ruyi touched his nose, and said in his heart, it would be good if the fox was here, he had lived so long and understood so much, he must know what kind of talisman this was.

"I thought my sister knew everything."

"What you think is wrong, it's immortals, and you don't dare to say that you know everything, because immortals are also cultivated by humans." Xing Ruyi stared at those talismans: "However, Li Run's death must be related to these talismans." Nine times out of ten, her soul was also imprisoned in her body by these charms. ”

"So what to do?"

"Cold salad!" Xing Ruyi accepted the ghost card: "You are lucky, I am in a good mood to catch up with my sister today, I will help you go and check what is going on with these charms on Li Run's body." As for you, stay here and take a good look at her. The skinner was so angry that I wasn't sure if she would get out of this basement. Judging from the situation we just came down, she should have been trapped here by the murderer, but once she escapes, there will inevitably be other victims. Our underworld has limited manpower, and your Yan Jun is a playful person, so it's better to toss less. ”

"Sister, whatever you say is what, don't worry, I don't have any other skills, and I still do it when I look at the little ghost." Green-haired said, and sat down at the door, assuming the posture of a door god.

Xing Ruyi shook his head, cast a ghost spell, and transferred from the basement to the villa where Li Run lived before his death.

"Who are you?" As soon as he appeared, a bright light struck.

Xing Ruyi subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and asked rhetorically: "Who are you?" ”

"Chang Tai of the Los Angeles City Criminal Police Brigade."

"Brother Chang?" Xing Ruyi put his hand down, "It's really you." Well, it's a little more mature than it used to be. ”

"You know me?" Chang Tai squinted, and at the same time saw Xing Ruyi's appearance clearly.

That face, he had seen it in a dream, but the facial features in the dream were a little blurry, but the face in front of him was very clear.

"Of course I know, we are-" Xing Ruyi suddenly remembered that Chang Tai now had no memories of the past, she shrugged her shoulders slightly, and then said, "We are neighbors." ”

"Neighbors?" Chang Tai tries to search for his own memories.

Xing Ru agreed, pursed his lips lightly, and quietly made a small movement in his hand. An invisible light flew out of Xing Ruyi's fingertips and landed on top of Chang Tai's head. In the original chaotic memory, there was an image of a woman in an instant.

"Ruyi!"

"Yes, I am Ruyi, and I am Ruyi." Xing Ruyi pretended to be very happy and stood on tiptoe: "It's the daughter of the old criminal family who lives next door to your house." I remember, when I was in the third grade of elementary school, my family moved to Los Angeles, and when I met Brother Chang, you were still in the police academy. It's a pity that you had already graduated at that time, but on the wall of the school's outstanding graduates, I saw a photo of you, Brother Chang. ”

"Police Academy, you're also a police officer?"

"Yes, I'm a new transfer from your brigade." Xing Ruyi smiled: "After dawn, I will go to the criminal police brigade to report, and when the time comes, I have to ask Brother Chang for more guidance." ”

"It's so late, why did you appear in the Li family's villa?" Chang Tai looked at Xing Ruyi, with "I don't believe you" written on his face.

"Of course, I'm here to investigate Li Run's disappearance." Xing Ruyi took a step forward, pretending to be mysterious: "Brother Chang, it's not that I'm scaring you, but Li Run's case is very weird, different from ordinary cases." If it weren't for this, you Tan Bureau wouldn't have been able to go to our team to ask for someone. Well, I'm a little expert in handling this kind of case. ”

"Spooky? It's weird indeed. A big living person, who disappeared in his villa, can it not be weird? Chang Tai scolded lightly.

"I know that Brother Chang doesn't believe it, and nine times out of ten he still thinks I'm a god-nagging neurosis, but I have evidence to prove that what I just said is true. This villa, Brother Chang, you must not be here for the first time, right? Going and coming back means that Brother Chang, you think this villa is a little unusual, but you can't find where these anomalies are. ”

"You know?" Chang Tai couldn't deny that the girl in front of him called Xing Ruyi was indeed right.

During the day, when he approached this villa, he felt inexplicably repulsed and uncomfortable. When I looked at the scene, the uncomfortable feeling was even stronger. He is not a hairy boy who has just graduated from the police academy, nor is he an immature police officer who has not experienced a tragic scene, and that uncomfortable feeling is simply for no reason.

"Brother Chang, have you seen these paintings on the wall?"

There are a lot of paintings hanging in Li Run's villa, mostly people and landscapes. The characters are male and female, old and young, but most of them are Western shapes, and the painting style is also in the form of oil paintings, plus the layout is reasonable, and it looks good in this villa.

"Brother Chang, do you think that these figure paintings are all painted with oil paint?"

"It's not painted, is it still pasted?"

"Brother Chang is Brother Chang, you can guess it as soon as you guess. That's right, these figure paintings are pasted, but after they are pasted, they are treated with special oil paints. Xing Ruyi said, took out a dagger with a cold light, and cut a painting in front of the long strip. Brother Chang is a criminal policeman, and I don't need to introduce the things here. ”

The painting on the wall is two-tiered, and after Xing Ruyi cut the surface with a knife, Chang Tai also saw the layer below.

"It's ...... This is human skin. ”

"That's right, it's human skin, but it's still very well preserved, and it still has an extremely perfect human skin elasticity to this day. Some people have made these skins a special treatment, and they have been made into the first prototype of these figure paintings as if they were shadow puppets. Then it is supplemented with oil paint for covering and retouching. Brother Chang, the reason why you didn't smell the special smell of human skin is because the murderer added things to the paint, which covered up the original taste of human skin. If I don't have a problem with my nose, all the figure paintings in this villa are made with this technique. ”

"All of them?"

"All!" Xing Ruyi glanced at the villa: "This Li Run, I don't know who I offended, the other party actually used this vicious method to deal with her." Brother Chang, you should have heard of Gu magic and witchcraft, this method of making character portraits with living human skins belongs to this type. Of course, this kind of thing is seen by the benevolent and the wise, but it can be passed down for thousands of years and is feared by others, which means that it is not groundless. ”

"You mean, Li Run's death has something to do with these paintings hanging on the walls?"

"That's pretty much what it means." Xing Ruyi sniffed and smelled a somewhat familiar, but obviously fresher smell of human skin: "I, it seems that I have found Li Run!" ”
