October 3, 2021 at 10:34 a.m

The atmosphere of the National Day envelops the whole of China, with lights everywhere, colorful windows arranged, and shops greatly discounted, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Xiao Yao and I walked on the pedestrian street in the center of the city, each holding a sugar gourd in our hands and licking the sugar coating outside the sugar gourd, looking at the various crowds around us, laughing and excited.

Just as we were holding hands and trying to run towards the "Second Department Store," we saw three or four police cars driving around, and a dozen or so policemen stepped down from the police cars and surrounded the "Second Department Store."

Xiao Yao tightened my hand and ran through the layers of crowds and ran to the back of the police car.

"You, you, go!" The policeman in the lead gestured to the two officers next to him and motioned for them to enter. They nodded, held the pistol firmly in their hands, and were about to rush in directly, but they saw a simple-looking young man with thick eyebrows and thick brushes, walking out of it with his hands held high.

The young man had a smile on his face and a silver cross around his neck, and he seemed to be a devout believer.

"That'...... That's not ...... Uncle Kang Chiro? Xiao Yao's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the police officer in front of him.

"Ginger...... Jiang Zhilang...... Uncle? I looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously.

The corners of Xiao Yao's mouth obviously raised a happy smile, she kneaded her nose, and said to me: "Uncle Jiang Zhilang is my father's brother and a policeman. But unlike my dad, he has always doted on me, and this is easy to do. ”

"Easy to do? Easy to do...... What the? ”

"You'll find out later!"

She laughed a little, then took my hand and quickly walked away.

October 3, 2021 at 14:30 at the Meisling Dessert Shop.

Xiao Yao has been looking out of the dessert shop uneasy, as if he was expecting someone. Suddenly, she jumped up excitedly, waved her hands, and shouted "here and here".

I looked in the direction she was waving, and I saw the "Uncle Jiang Chiro" she was talking about. Jiang Zhilang gasped, pushed open the door of the store, ran in a hurry, and sat next to Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, your Uncle Jiang and I are still at work, I can only come out for a while and have to rush back immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, uncle, you have worked hard, drink tea and drink tea." Xiao Yaoda was courteous, and respectfully poured Jiang Zhilang a cup of tea and brought it to him.

"Uncle, I saw your police car in front of the mall on the pedestrian street, what kind of case are you working on? Can you tell me no? ”

"Talking to you? How old are you, and you can still solve a criminal case? Jiang Zhilang shook his head.

"Uncle Jiang, I'm not an ordinary little kid, I have a good bloodline passed down from my grandfather's generation! Of course, there are also you and my dad~" Xiao Yao further flattered.

"Oh? I'm going to hear what you've inherited. Jiang Shiro blew the tea in front of him.

"Now, under my call, the first 'Sherlock Holmes Detective Team' has been formed, with all kinds of capable detectives, blending in with the crowd. Not only that, not long ago, we also cracked a case of theft of gold masks from the Western Han Dynasty! What do you think? Are you impressed with me? ”

"En'en......" Jiang Zhilang held the smile on the corner of his mouth and immediately took a sip of tea, "It seems that you can indeed entrust you with important tasks." Well, I'll tell you about this case. ”

Xiao Yao nodded excitedly with me.

"Three days ago, there was a murder in an abandoned warehouse in Nancheng District. Although the murderer committed the crime carefully and cleaned up the scene, he did not find the miniature camera hidden in the telephone line. We called up the footage today, found the murderer after matching, and carried out the arrest. ”

I let out a sigh of relief, "Namely...... That being the case, the case ...... Not all...... Is it broken? ”

"No, it's not broken." Jiang Zhilang looked at me seriously, "Although the murderer has been found, the key body and the murder weapon have not been found, and he refuses to confess, just keeps touching the cross on his chest." ”

"The body was not found? Have you searched his house? Xiao Yao asked.

"I searched it, but there were no clues." Jiang Zhilang looked at his watch, took out a dozen photos from his pocket and put them on the table, "I have to go back first, the photos of the murderer's house are here."

"Uncle, what's the name of the murderer?"

"Kong Buming."

After Jiang Zhilang finished speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye to us, pushed the door and left here.

Xiao Yao and I put the photos Jiang Zhilang gave us one by one in front of us, and the differences that made Xiao Yao quite concerned were the empty bookshelves, the museum magazines on the table, the posters of the charity bazaar, and the church Sundays marked on the calendar.

Xiao Yao looked at these photos, tapped his index finger twice on the table, and then picked up the phone: "Sun Thinzi?" Could you please help me check the place where Kong Buming, the murder suspect arrested by the Second Department Store, has been in the past three days. ”

October 3, 2021 at 15:45 at the Meisling Dessert Shop.

Sun Slender and Xu Fatzi rushed over together, and before their butts were hot, Sun Slender took out a computer from his backpack and put it in front of Xiao Yao.

"According to your request, I checked this Kong Buming earlier, and there are three places he frequents the most: the Little Bear Museum, the Red Cross Hall, and the Christ Worship Church. However, in the course of three days, he went to all three places. ”

Xiao Yao held his chin, "It seems that we need to go to these three places again." ”

"The Church of Christ is not open today, it will open tomorrow." Sun Slender added.

"Okay, in that case, let's go to the Bear Museum and the Red Cross today."

We nodded together.

October 3, 2021, 16:15, Red Cross Hall.

I pulled out my wallet and asked to meet with the director of the Red Cross in the name of collecting donations. The curator was very enthusiastic, especially for me, who had raised a lot of money. At the instigation of Xiao Yao, I deliberately mentioned the word "Kong Buming", and was close to him, talking about my kinship with "Kong Buming".

The curator also talked to me about "Kong Buming", and said that he was highly praised by the curator. It turned out that he would come every Thursday to raise donations, and sometimes he would bring cute stuffed animals. Although the curator didn't know where his money came from, he didn't ask much about it, after all, he just had to donate money.

When he left, Xiao Yao went to look at the little girl who had just received the favor of Kong Buming not long ago, she had a pair of big eyes, two braids, and her little face was full of freckles. A bear cub was held in her arms, with a slightly slanted neck, a cute smile, and a bow tied around its head.

The girl kept holding the bear as if we were going to rob her, so she suddenly took a few steps back, turned and fled.

"Let's go, let's go to the Bear Museum."

October 3, 2021 at 16:54 at the Cub Museum.

Under the leadership of Xiao Yao, we soon came to the Little Bear Museum, which is full of dazzling, all simple and cute, all kinds of funny and gorgeous bears.

I secretly stuffed some money into the security guard, and he smiled and talked to us about everything in the museum.

"Do you know Kong Buming?"

"Kong Buming?"

Sun took out a photo taken from his pocket on the Internet.

"Ah, it's him, I know, I know." The security guard patted himself on the head and leaned his head towards us, "He has a lot to offer to our museum." Look at this, look at that, look at this behind you, these bears are all made by Kong Buming. He has a very clever hand and can make the cutest bear that no one else can do! ”

"These ...... Did he do it? Xiao Yao's brows suddenly furrowed.

"yes, yes, cute, right?" The security guard's face was full of pride.

"Did you send it three days ago?"

"Three days ago? ......" the security guard thought back, "Oh! When you say that, there really is. Come, follow me! "The security guard led us to a glass window, where we saw a crucified bear cub.

"Huh...... Although this bear is quite cute, it always feels inappropriate to be crucified. The security guard was there muttering to himself and shook his head alone.

"Excuse me, uncle, can you please take that bear down and show it to us?" Xiao Yao blinked his eyes and pleaded angrily.

"This ......" the security guard looked around, there was almost no one, "it just so happens that we are about to retreat, and there is no one, so if you want to see it, hurry up." As he spoke, the security guard took out the key from his pocket, quickly opened the window, and took the crucified bear from the window.

Xiao Yao leaned the bear in front of his eyes, carefully examined every part of the bear, sniffed it in front of his nose, and then gave it back to the security guard.

"You...... There are discoveries...... What? I asked Xiao Yao secretly, and Xiao Yao shook his head.

After saying goodbye to the security guards, our group set out on the way home. The setting sun shone on our faces, shining us golden. Xiao Yaojian frowned, and he didn't say much along the way, neither talking to us nor saying anything.

It's the first time I've seen such a little Yao, and I can't help but worry about her. But she only smiled faintly, then said goodbye to us and stepped on the subway back.

October 4, 2021, 09:00, Christ Chapel.

Early in the morning, the four of us arrived at the Christ Chapel. In the overcrowded church, the first thing that catches our eyes is the huge statue of Jesus. Then there are the two angels hanging next to the statue.

The decoration of the church is extremely luxurious - the house is full of oil paintings, rows of chairs carved from mahogany, European-style vaulted domes, and stone carvings inlaid with gold and jade. But what really attracted the little attention was not these ornate things, but a portrait of the Virgin on the wall.

"This ...... Virgin...... Portrait...... What's wrong? ”

Xiao Yao didn't answer my question directly, but slowly walked in front of the painting, reached out and touched it, "This painting ...... It's made of human skin. ”

"What?! This painting is a human skin ......" Sun Slender covered Xu Fatzi's mouth and "shh

"Look at the texture, the pore marks and the touch of the touch, I'm sure it's human skin." Xiao Yao said affirmatively.

My legs were weak and I almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Xiao Yao grabbed my waist in time and helped me up.

"If this is the skin of the slain, where are the rest of his parts?" Sun Slender swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked cautiously.

Xiao Yao shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the front. Suddenly, as if she had noticed something, she pointed forward, "Look closely at that Jesus, is he too new?" ”

"The ...... Truly. Sun Slender and Xu Fatzi looked there together, their palms raging in a cold sweat.

"But there are so many people...... We're just guessing, how do we test it? Sun Slender asked Xiao Yao while trembling.

"Of course, we don't need to go out of this matter, let's leave it to Uncle Jiang." Xiao Yao said that, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Jiang Zhilang's number.

October 4, 2021, 11:26 a.m., Christ Chapel.

The statue of Jesus was smashed open by Jiang Zhilang with a "clang", but to our disappointment, there was no disappeared corpse inside, only a blood-stained hammer.

Although we did not return in vain this time, we still did not find the vanished body. After DNA comparison, we were surprised that the human skin portrait was not the victim. Everything seems to have come back to square one......

October 4, 2021 15:48

Our group walked down the road in disappointment, and this was the first time since the formation of our "Sherlock Holmes Detectives" that we had returned without success. Disappointment fills the hearts of each of us, making the atmosphere seem oppressive.

"Nope! No! No! Something must have gone wrong! Something must have gone wrong! Xiao Yao muttered alone and took out those photos from the cloth bag again, and looked at them one by one.

Her eyes suddenly stayed on the photo of the "empty bookshelf", and quickly called Sun Shouzi for him to use the computer to enlarge it. Under Sun Thinzi's technique, the photo was magnified N times, and we also saw a row of brownish-yellow fluff on the bookshelf.

"I see!"

Xiao Yao suddenly laughed like crazy, and then took my hand and ran in the direction of the Red Cross. Sun Slender and Xu Fatzi also followed.

She found the little girl holding the bear again, and snatched it from her hand and tore it apart. I saw that after tearing off the mask of Little Bear, what was revealed inside was a delicate-looking doll. The doll is hard and the leather feels the same as the painting.

"How many of these dolls do you have in the Red Cross?!" Little wants to shout loudly.

The girl was startled and cried loudly.

Xiao Yao didn't give up, grabbed the girl's shoulders tightly, and continued to ask: "Tell me quickly, how many of these dolls do you have?" And what about the rest? ”

The girl was awake and replied intermittently, "I and two or three other children kept one each, and the others were sold by the curator......"

Xiao Yao let go of the girl and quickly dialed Jiang Zhilang's phone. Jiang Zhilang rushed over in a hurry and sent the doll to the appraisal department, and after some appraisal, it was finally determined that the doll was made by a part of the deceased.

October 6, 2021 at 9:02 a.m

When I listened to Uncle De's cry and picked up Xiaoyao's phone in a sleepy eye, I finally learned the truth of everything. It turned out that the murderer named Kong Buming killed his own mother with his own hands when he was very young, and forced himself to insult his sister. After being despised by relatives and friends and having nothing, he was thrown into an orphanage alone, and after several tosses and turns, he grew up slowly, and finally found a good job and fell in love with a beautiful girl. didn't know that it was a fraudulent marriage, and the wealth of several years turned into nothingness overnight.

He knelt before Jesus that day, but Jesus did not come to save him. So, he had to save himself. He revered The Silence of the Lambs as the Bible and Diary of a Madman as a doctrine. Kill the girl who deceived her, pluck her human skin, and paint her as a picture of the Virgin and send it to the church.

No one knew that he had committed the crime, so he committed the crime again and killed another person in the factory. He made his skin and bones into a doll and wrapped it in a bear coat and gave it to the curator in batches. The curator took a few and gave them to the children in the museum, and sold the rest......

Hearing about this case, I couldn't help but make my hair stand on end, and my whole body was cold. Whether it is his cruel modus operandi or his tragic life, it is enough to imprint deeply in my heart.

The cruelty of society will always be avenged on people in different ways, and people will pay tribute to society in different ways. Only love can break the chains of hatred, and only tomorrow can eliminate the hatred of yesterday.

My brother is begging for tomorrow, and I want to help my brother beg for tomorrow, let that yesterday disperse, let that tomorrow come, let everything be exposed to the sun and clouds, and let us welcome the new.
