Chapter 11: The Mask of Human Skin
Under the shouting of the loudspeaker in the village, it didn't take long for the square at the entrance of the village to be full of people, but most of the people's eyes were full of strong unease.
Cai Chunxiang was killed, Cai Xingwu went crazy and turned into a zombie, and even his wife was bitten by him, and he has been sent to the hospital, life and death are unknown.
For this small mountain village of only 100 people, it is undoubtedly a big deal.
"Village chief, have you all arrived?" Su Heng looked at the village chief and asked.
"It should all be there." Cai Xingchao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, originally the matter had nothing to do with him, but who made him and Cai Xingwu cousins.
And others may not know much about Cai Xingwu and Cai Chunxiang, but he knows it clearly.
If he had known that it would be the result today, he should have persuaded this cousin more in the first place.
"Should?" Su Heng raised his eyebrows.
"I'll ask, I'll ask again." Cai Xingchao trembled with fright, not that Su Heng looked terrible, but that invisible pressure made him a little breathless.
"Everyone stared to see who hadn't arrived yet."
As Cai Xingchao's words fell, the crowd immediately became a little commotion, but Su Heng was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
"The second stunned didn't come."
"Yes, the second stunned man is gone."
After a while, someone in the crowd shouted.
"Village chief, who is this dumbfounder? Was Cai Xingwu's family still there when there was an accident before? Although he had confirmed in his heart that this second stunned man was the person he was looking for, Su Heng still asked.
"Here, I'll be standing with the second stunned man at that time, after Cai Xingwu turned into a zombie, he disappeared, and he ran faster than a rabbit." Cai Xingchao was just about to speak, and someone in the crowd had already answered for him.
"Trouble the village chief to take us to this second stunned man's house, we have something to ask." Su Heng said to Cai Xingchao.
"No problem, come with me." Cai Xingchao nodded busily.
Subsequently, the group followed Cai Xingchao to the house of the second stunned man.
On the way, Cai Xingchao also introduced the situation of the second stunned man, his name is Cai Er, who is idle all day long, stealing chickens and touching dogs, more than 30 people, and still beating singles.
Originally, there was an old lady in his family, who was beaten and scolded by him for a long time, and was later picked up by his daughter and broke off the relationship.
So this Cai Er can be regarded as a lonely person.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Cai Xingchao shouted loudly, "Second stunned, get out of here." ”
But it was quiet in the house, and no one answered.
Gao Xiaojun kicked the door with a vanguard, but he didn't expect that the inside was not locked at all, and the whole person crashed into it directly.
His reckless behavior made Tang Jiuge pout, obviously looking down on this new teammate.
The house was dirty and messy, which was also in line with Cai Er's identity as a bachelor, and there was a rancid smell.
"Captain, come on."
At this time, Gao Xiaojun, who was the first to enter the bedroom, shouted.
When Su Heng walked into the bedroom, he saw Cai Er lying on the bed at a glance.
In fact, he couldn't tell if the person on the bed was Cai Er, because the other party's face was blurred with flesh and blood, and his entire face was completely removed.
Cai Xingchao came in after Su Heng, and when he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost screamed, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled.
"Village Chief, can you be sure that he is Cai Er?" Su Heng asked directly.
"It looks like it is."
Because the flesh and blood on the other party's face were blurred, and there was no face, even Cai Xingchao didn't dare to confirm it for a while, but then, he seemed to remember something.
"By the way, Cai Er used to fight with someone and was stabbed in the stomach."
Hearing his words, Gao Xiaojun pulled open the other party's clothes for the first time, and sure enough, a clear scar appeared.
From this, it can already be concluded that this person is Cai Er, but no one thought that he was actually dead.
After confirming Cai Er's identity, the picture he saw from Cai Xingwu's eyes before flashed away, and a coolness that was much weaker than before poured out into his eyes.
Even this alone is enough to prove that his previous inferences are correct.
Cai Xingwu resented, and the last person to watch was Cai Er.
"The time of death was at least more than two hours." Zhang Guowei glanced at the corpse and said.
And in fact, it was less than an hour before Cai Xingwu went berserk, so didn't that mean that Cai Er had died long before that?
So someone said before that he saw Cai Er at that time, what was going on?
Looking at Cai Er's face peeled off, the answer is already in everyone's hearts.
"Captain, do you think the murderer is still hiding among those villagers?" Gao Xiaojun said first, and looked at Cai Xingchao with some suspicion.
The latter suddenly had a stirring, "It's not me." ”
"Don't worry about the village chief, we don't suspect you, the reason why the murderer chose Cai Er is that he is single and not easy to be discovered by the people around him, and the body size should not be much different, so that when mixed in the crowd, those villagers who are familiar with him will not be able to see through it at a glance." Su Heng explained.
Looking at Cai Xingchao's figure again, there is really no way to connect the two.
Unless the murderer will be transformed, but even so, at such a close distance, it is impossible to hide from Su Heng's eyes.
Hearing Su Heng's explanation, Cai Xingchao breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time, he felt that it was also good for him to be fat.
"Why don't you check all the villagers?" Cai Xingchao couldn't help but suggest, after all, the murderer could disguise himself as someone else, and once he hid among the villagers, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"No need." Su Heng shook his head and said.
"Why?" Cai Xingchao asked puzzled.
"After the murderer killed Cai Er, he could have cut off his head and take him away, or hide Cai Er, so that no one knew for a short time that he could make a human skin mask and have the ability to disguise others, but he didn't do it, which can only show that he didn't care about being found out of the secret, and even deliberately demonstrated.
This can also be seen from the excitement when he stays at Cai Chunxiang's house, this is a very conceited person, of course, it can also be said to be arrogant.
In addition, it has not been a long time since Cai Xingwu went berserk, and although I don't know how long it will take to make a human skin mask, it is obvious that this time is far from enough to choose the right target and not be discovered.
So it is not very likely that the murderer is still among the villagers, maybe the murderer is hiding in the shadows, watching us suspect each other, so I have to trouble Captain Zhang to take someone to search around to see if there are any other clues. ”
Su Heng finally looked at Zhang Guowei.
"No problem." Zhang Guowei nodded happily, the case is constantly implicated, getting bigger and bigger, even he is desperate to catch the murderer.
But when he walked to the yard, he suddenly came to his senses, and his feelings were broken again.
This was the case in the hotel before, and it seemed that he hadn't noticed what Su Heng was doing for a while at Cai Chunxiang's house.
And right now, it's even more open-minded to get himself away.
But before he could turn around and go back, he saw Gao Xiaojun and Tang Jiuge blocking the door one left and one right.
At this point, Zhang Guowei is more sure of his thoughts.
In the room, Su Heng opened his eyes of reincarnation and looked at Cai Er's eyes.
